NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The reports in cir
culation of thanking movements by Lee
and extensive rebel cavalry demonstra.
tons, for which there is no foundation
other than that of some small rebel cavalry
demonstrations on the lower Rappahan-
mock. There Ia no prospect of immediate
movements of either army. No doubt q
large force of rebels are below Fredericks-
burg, north of the RappahannOck. Whites
cavalry still infest LOudon county, and the
northern portion of Fairfax.
Three hundred rebel infantry are at
Smokers Gap, actively enforcing the con-
scription.
A small squad Of rebel cavalry crossed
Edwards Ferry yesterday, but did little
damage.
Our cavalry have made several captures
within few days, and are energeticaIly
pursuing the rebels.
The reported capture of 100 suffers wa
gous is untrue.
The Mobile Register states that Alex. II.
Stephens is at Nassau.
A Mississippi paper says that a Federal
raid is expected along the Mississippi Il.
R., and that Gen'l Chalmers is preparing
to meet it.
New Orleans letters contain little infOr-
| nation. The steamer Gertrude, on her
passage from New York, captured a rebel
| steamer from Havana to Mobile, with a
| valuable cargo, and took her to N. Orleans.
Every thing in New Orleans, according
to the HeraId'S correspondent, indicates q
movement of the army. Gen. Heron had
taken passagein the steamer Morning Star,
but had his furlough revoked, and nearly
all regimental officers have left the city for
the field.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Maj. Gen. Blunt,

Their GOODNESS and bravery, 1 have never
seen surpassed. They were in the hottest
of the fight, and opposed to Texan troops
of twice their number, whom they COM
pletely routed. The 10th Texas regiment,
which fought against them, went into the
| fight with three hundred men and came
out with only 60.

while another force which had proceeded
eastward of Cumberland Gap, would cut
