WASHINGTON, July 10.
The rebel army has made rapid progress
toward Gu pepper, as has been generally sup
posed. There is good reason for stating that
the bulk of Lees army is still in the vicinity
Of Winchester. There was also quite large
rebel force at Bunker Hill, which is between
Winchester and Martinsburg, yesterday. 1t
would not be proper to state where Gen.
Meade's army is, but there is good ground
to hope that they may yet compete the de-
struction of the remains of the rebel army.

Three thousand troops garrison 7th avenue
arsefal. Two steamboats, heav ly armed and
