ARMY OF THU PoToAAC SITUATION OF AFFAf s
ON SUNDAY wsEK- sUPPOs1D PO.ITIor Or The
REBEL ARMY &C
The correspondent of the Nsw York Times,
writing from the Army of the Potomac, June
81, says:
The situation Ia not materially changed since
my last. Stualts cavalry still range through
the lower part of Lcudoun Valley, and hover
about our forces in the vicinity of Aldie and
Thoroughfare Gap. No additional information
concerning the position of Lees main body
has been received
Several circumstances combine to render the
obtaining OF information more than usually
difficult
One is, the constant change of position by
the enemy, and another is the strict iustruc
tiops latterly given by the rebel commanders
to their troops against giving information con.
cetniug their position or organic ,tion when
taken prisoners. This was strongly manifest
ed tho other day by a stray rebel who was
picked up, and who said he belonged to no regi-
generally. On being informed that persons Of
that character, found in our lines, were always
considered and treated as spies, he found his
tongue quite sadly.
There are now about $50 rebel prisoners at
headquarters, including ten officers, the cap.

The mounted rihsmen of the enemy's force
do not appear to have had very good luck. In
the fights of the l2sh, a detachment of eighty
nearly all captured. They inh;ct severe losses,
however, upon ue, by picking off officers
The loss in Col Dnttis obstinate fight with
overwhelming numbers at MiddIeburg, will
probably not exceed one hundred.
Major harrington is probably killed, or
wounded, as he was not taken prisoner. Capt.
Allen and Lieut. Falos, who were sent with
dispatches to Aidis, for Gen. Pleasanton, ,wsrs
thought captured as they had not been heard
through the enemy's pickets.

by way of Leesbu'g, Thoroughfars Gap and
Dumfries This is strategy with vengeance.
The communication to be kept up with three
such columns as that, would involve circuit
of one hundred and fifty miles.
The present contest is chiefly one Of etrate-
gy, thus far. 1t is plainly seen now that Lse
desired no.bing better than that Hooksr
should Cross into Maryland and uncover Wash
ington. What Hooker proposes to do no one
seems to know-but he don't seem in much Of
a hurry to cross. That hs did not move rapid
ly into Maryland the middle of last week is
due to his want of confederation of Official
fears at Washington. These fears were tan
tamount to requests-if not 0rders-and
Chain Bridge was to be put in good repair for
the passage of the army, even though Gen.
Hooker preferred to use pontoon bridges at
another point.
There is abundant evidence that Lee is dis
ly into Maryland. The backward and for.
ward evolutions of Lees infantry for the last
few days indicate that eince Wednesday
LOngstreet's corps has been moved from the
Shenandoah into the Loudoun Valley, and
back again into this Shenandoah.
Stuarts cavalry have been busily engaged
in masking these movements Of Lee. They
protect and cover his flank and rear from the
vigorous assaults of Pleasanton, and severe
fghtiag has resulted each day, with the ad.
vantage on our side. In the upper part of
Louaoun Valley, Buford has reconnoitsred to
Snicker's Gap; Gregg has repulsed Stuart twice
at Aldie and Middleburg Duffie cleaned out
ThOronghfare Gap, and Stahl has recoanoiter-
ed at WarrentOn.
the ground ia we'll covered by our active
cavalry, and they are now doing better service
than ever before.
There has been heavy cannonading between
Aldie and Middlsburg al day. The probsbli-
ty is that another severe cavalry fight has t;l-
ken place there. PleasantOn, under orders
from Hooker, is thro wing his whole force upon
Stuart to-day, assisted by portion Of General
