WHEREABOUTS OF LEES ARMY.

WAsHISGToN, June 22.-[Special dis
patch to the New York Ecening Post. =
All the information which our cavalry have
been able to obtain, confirms the previous
impression that there is no rebel infantry
this side of the Blue Ridge, though they
may occupy Ashby's and Manassas Gaps.
Gen. PleasantOn found none in Smokers
Gap. The rebel cavalry force remains
near Middlebury, and none have been
through Thoroughfare Gap, thus showing
that neither Gen. Lee nor any of his forces
are there, as published.
Nothing has been seen of the rebels
this side of Warrenton, nor beyond nor
south of that place
Our army is on the move, and if the
rebels desire to give battle they can come
out OF the Shenandoah Valley and do so,
wherever they please.
General Hooker is prepared, and every
thing is most favorable for operations.

no force between Frederick and Boones-

dletown. No attempt has been made to
destroy the bridge over the Monocacy

Transport they have about 5000 infantry,
1000 cavalry, and few pieces of artillery.
A squadron of cavalry could undoubtedly

Mountain. The rebels appear to be very
uneasy, and will probably vacate the town
tonight. All is quiet
