Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1863-09-08

WAsmNGToN, Sept. @ Late information from
the army Of the Potomac mentions no rebel
movements. Some fears are entertained that
Gen. Hood may make raid from Cupepper
with his rebel cavalry.
The HerGid's Washington dispatch says there
are reports circulating Of faoking movements
by Lee, and extensive cavalry demonstrations on
the lower Rappahannock There IS no pros
pct of movement by either army There il
no doubt but there is a large force of rebels be-
low Fredericksburg, north OF the Rappahan-
mock. Whites cavalry still invest Loudon
County and the northern portion Of Fairfax.
Three hundred rebel infantry are at Wicke's
Gap, actively enforcing the CONSUMPTION. A
small squad of rebel cavalry crossed at Eiward's
ferry, but did little damage. Our cavalry have
made several captures within a few days, and
are enorgetically pursuing the rebels,
The reported capture Of 100 suffers wagons,
is untrue,
New YORK, Sept 3. The WoriFs Washing
ton dispatch says the rebels who crossed at Ed
wards Ferry captured number Of CATTLE but
were unable to get them over the Potomac, and
abandoned them in the woods
Contrabands persist in stating that Loe il
about making movement.
NEw YORK, Sept. 4. A special Washington
dispatch says distinguished officer in the Army
OF the Potomac has sent in word that Gen. Lee
has not gwen the slightest evidence OF purpose
to move his forces On the other hand he is
waiting for the result of the operations Of Rose
Grams, Gilmore and Burnside. The opinion
prevails among the most intelligent Of our Off
GERS at headquarters that if those operations are
successful Lee will propose terms Of surrender
and bring the war to a close.
A headquarters dispatch to the NeigS gives
the following details Of the destruction Of the
gunboas Satellite and Reliance
Gen. Fitzpatrick force, consisting Of cavalry
and two batteries of artillery, reached King
George Court House, and drove in the enemy {

a brigade OF rebel infantry under Col, Low
lay on this side Of the river, at Port Conway.
During the night they incontinently fled across
the stream. Had they shown fight they would
probably have been captured
Gen. Fitzpatrick then waited several hours
Ter the appearance Of The gunboats, but they not

The Satellite was soon in q sinking condition.
The Reliance was soon rendered worthless, and
both are now so nearly destroyed that they can
not again be so repaired by the enemy as to be
useful. But for the slowness Of the naval au-
thorlties, the vessels might have been retaken
without damage.
Guerrilla operations in our rear continue. A
mail party of 9 was attacked on the road be-
tween Wauenton junction and HARDWOOD one
day last week, and 4 of them, including the
mail, captured.
A member Of Gen. Kilpairick's body guard
was killed, couple OF days ago by guernllas
when the whole body guard obtained permission
to hunt guerrillas. They have been gone three
days, and their success may be estimated by the
number OF guerrlllas suspended from tall trees
on the line Of their march.
