THE VERY LATEST.

By telegram from Wheeling it appears
that the bridges that have been destroyed
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad were
probably burned by secessionists who live
in the neighborhood. The people of Wheel
ing, although much alarmed Tor the last
twenty-tour hours, seem now not to appre-
hcnd any attack in that quarter from the
rebels.

An express messenger arrived at Pittsburg
at two o'clock This morning, who stated
that body of 1000 rebel cavalry were
within few miles of Morgantown, Va,
en- route for Pennsylvania.
The track of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road between Grafton and Cumberland was
destroyed.
This movement is undoubtedly a raid for
horses and commissary stores. The idea OF
tearing up the railroad is to prevent being
cut Oft by any federel forces from the Po-
tomac.

prTrsuURo, PA, April 2S 0 o'clock, A. N.
The rebel force is now said to be S,OO0
strong. Great CONSERVATION prevails among
the farmers who are gathering Their horses
and cattle and sending them beyond the
reach Of the highwaymen
The point arrived at by the rebels seems
to be in the ncighborhood of uniontown, IA.
The latest intelligence received here con
firms the rebel raid into Western Virginia,
in considerable force, with the object, prob
ably, of divcrting the attention ot our troops
from another quarter.
Efficient means have been taken to III
tcrcept the enemy, and the prospect Of their
capture, we are happy to say, appears TO Dc
good.
A rumor prevails that roo Of the rebels
have already been captured, but is does not
appear to be well founded.
Every prccaution is being taken by the
State authorities here to be ready in case an
invasion Of the State is attempted.
We have full particulars of the operations
Of the Rebels, but as the news is contraband,
and its publication may defeat the plans OF
the government for the capture ofthc Rebels
we withhold its publication.
