captured by the Confederates between WarreniOn
aud New Baltimore, on the Gainesville road. On
Tuesday the reaels went to within fourteen miles
of Alexandria, and carried off 80 mules aud wag

and prevented their capturing the wagons. A tel
.gram from Washington, dated the 2sth, says:
There has been the usual light skrmishing
along the front TO day, though indicating no proba
bic engagement. II seems q settled fact that for
the present the enemy Is resolved on the defen-
sive to prevent our forces from crossing the Rap
pahannoek, as il is ascertaned al last quite reIa-
bly, that but a small force of cavalry and brigade
OF Infantry constitute all the rObei troops on th
side of the river. A number OF residents OF Far

Imprisoned here, the entire country between wash
ng0n aud the army Is nearly relieved OF oil que
rIas. Several deserters from the enemy have just
come into our iines and relate startling stories OF
the suHerings Of the rebel troops for clothes, and
even food. They also add that General Hill Is un-
der for falling to carry out his instructions In
General Buford's cavalry division was attacked
by rebel infantry, near BealtOn Station, on Tues
day at noon, aud was forced TO fall back upon our
Infantry, within one mile OF Germantown. There
were but few casualties on either side.
The artillery wagons recently captured by the
gueflias near WarrentOn contained no prOperty OF
value This is the second daring and successful
raid during the present week almost In the heart OF
onr camp. II is believed the rebels have not
pushed any strong force on this side Of the Rap
pahannock since their grand retreat. Small bodies,
however, remain al the various crossings. They
are circumscribed to these positions by the pfoX-
unity Of our forces. The enemy's cavalry scout

before, the ''baekbone of the rebellion" would
have been broken at Chickamauga. Referring to
his removal, he said:
