THE REBEL INCLUSION.


quarters Army of the Potomac" despatch,
dued 18th, states: This morning we started
again, and to- night the whole country south
of the Occoquan is left to the enemy. 1t is
reported that the enemy has appeared at
Bruoks's station, five miles from Aqua To-
day all is quiet.
Lee Undoubtedly has an immense force be-
tween Washington and Culpepper. And those
left at Fredericksburg, numbering nearly
10000, will probably be added to that army
soon. We can now only await dev elopments
A Washington dispatch to the Herald says
that the march Of the federal army from Fall
mouth to the present position was a severe
one. Many Of the soldiers tainted from the
effects OF the heat, and mules and horses gave
out. In the Sd corps alone about twenty of
the men died by the way from sun-stroke A
cavalry force was left behind to take care of
and bring in those who were exhausted. The
creeks and rivulets and even the springs on
the roads were nearly dry and afforded no re-
lief. Quite large number of the army of
fcers left town to-day for the north, to aid in
organizing and putting into the field the mill
tia that has been called out by the president
1t is assumed that the present misfortunes in
failures to enlist and by desertion, have been
entirely brought about by the opponents of
the administration in the north.
1t is improper to say more than that our
army entirely covers Washington, whatever
its exact locality may be, and that the rebel
force In the Virginia valley will be singular
ly fortunate if it does not pay dearly for its
raid into Maryland and Pennsylvania
New YORK, June 1.-THE Baltimore
American OF yesterday, says:
We learn that the whole of Gen. Hooker's
army was yesterday lying in line from Dunn
fries TO Bull Run, occupying the old battle
ground and the line of the bridge to Alexan-
dria railroad.
The rribune'S Washington dispatch SAYS
the relative positions Of the armies of Gen.
Hooker and Lee are such as to render it not
impossible that battle will be fought soon.
Gen. Lee is believed to be on the other side
of the Bull Run mountains, from beyond
which immense clouds of dust are seen as
cending.
BULL Run, June 15.-The grand army of
the Potomac is now on and near the old Bull
Run battle field. The Sd army corps arrived
at Manassas junction on Monday morning.
Ihe LIST and llth corps are at Centreville.
The balance of the army of the Potomac, the
I'd, 9th, 9th, and 18th corps, will probably
reach here tonight. Maj. Gen. Hooker and
stati are on their way to this point, and by to-
morrow noon or night the army will be to-
gether again. Our cavalry force have, DUR
ing the whole time, been on cur flank. They
have done invaluable service as scouts, gam
ing information OF the enemy's movements
and making reconnosanceS, which impeded
the enemy's progress.
Gen. Gregg with his division are and have
been operating in neighOrh0od of Warrentun
and Sulphur Springs. Gen. DUTIES division,

Blue Ridge, near Ashbys Gap. Gen. Buford

ry. He was with Gen. Twiggs in Texas when
TwiggS surrendered
PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE inquirer has
a special dispatch from Washington, dated
last night, which contains the following intel
ligence =
The latest advices from the army of the Po-
tomac show that Gen. Lee has pushed a very
large force up the Shenandoah valley. Gen.
Ewells corps is in the advance, accompanied
by Gen. Stuart's cavalry. Gen. Hill is close
behind, and Gen. Longstreet is bringing I'D
the rear. There no longer seems to be any
doubt but that Gen. Lee is throwing the whole
of his forces up towards Maryland and Penn
sylvania. Our cavalry has been skirmishng
with Lees rear guard for two days, and all
information now tends to show that the rebels
are not moving to give us battle on the old
field of Bull Run or in that vicinity.
Our forces evacuated Frederick, Md, and
fell back to the Relay House this (Tucsday)
morning, no enemy pursuing them. They
returned to Frederic this morning with strong
reintorcements. Some rebels appeared at
Poolesvle Monday evening, but withdrew
without doing any damage.
