NKw York, Sept. 30. The Woras dispatch
says no fears need be entertained that the Army
of the Potomac is weaker than the force IN It's

largely outnumbers the enemys army, placing
infantry against the rebel line OF all arms, whllo
we have very large force OF cavalry seldom
idle, but daily in every point, hanging over the
enemy and making every movement on MS part
difficult.

increased since the raising of the blockade Of
Alexandria.
The Alexandra .NeUs says that Mosby while
on his way down on Monday with bis gang of
guerlllas, passed within halt mile oil detached
camp of the "a Massachusetts, Cavalry, whose
headquarters are at Centreyllle. lie seems TO
have no fear of capture, and finds but little
trouble in penetrating our lines. On Thursday
last he cay tared, near Springfield Station, two
teams OF four mules each.
1t seems strange that our military authorizes
will allow army teams TO 20 without strong
escort. Guerrlllas seem to be about as plentiful
IN Fairfax county as our own troops, and much
more active. Until regiment IS stationed a.
Fairfax Court House ard another at Vienna we
may anticipate the continued and frequent de-
predations of these bands. At three o'clock
yesterday morning Col. Del.any was "a prisoner
near Vienna in charge of Mosby on his way
South.
