There are about 10000 at Tuliahoma. Large
reinforcements-rather more than two diyi-

THE REBEL MOVE.


HARPER's FERRY. June 1z.--Itcar no longer
b doubted that the rebels are about to strike
an aggressive blow in some quarter, in return
for the compliments recently paid them by
Stone man, Fitzpatrick and Grierson. and the
ah,iir upon the Rappahannock on Monday last
has not thwarted their object. Where the blow
lie to be struck, or when, is entirely matter Of
conjecture ne yet; but soon 1t must come, and
fear upon 3 quarter where we are the least
prepared for it.
NV reasons for writing this may be briefly
stated. When our cavalry returned from the
fight on Tuesday they brought information
that the rebels had been moving in strong force
westward through the town Of Sperryville to-
ward Luray, in the Shenandoah valley; that
the column SO moving was three hours and a
half in passing the town, and was composed of
infantry and artillery. How many had gone
in the same direction via Cnlpeper and Cor
louisville was not stated, if known. This. of
itself, independent OF the known fact that the
enemy's cavalry was being massed on the Jn-
per Rappahannock, would have been sufficient
TO show that n raid was on the tapis.
