Headquarters ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,(
December 81.
A Reconnaissance ia force went cut
Yesterday morning, which will probably
be heard from in few days. IL is be-
lieved here that a considerable portion Of
Lees army has moved from its late posi-
ton in cur front and gone up the Kappa
hammock. Its destination is not know n.
WAsH1NGIoN, Dec. 31,--Last night, at
about eight o'clock, the wires ceased to
work north Of Falmouth Station. The
cause was unknown.
The last heard of the rebel cavalry was
from Occoquan, which place they had
passed on their way north.
This afternoons Star says there is no
truth in the current story that Stuarts
cavalry have crossed the Potomac into
Maryland, as telegraphed here last even
ing. The rumor grew ont of thefact, that
night before last, ten or twelve rebel guer-
rillas crossed from Balls Bluff over TO
Harrison's Island, probably designing a
brief thieving expedition into Maryland,
but seeing that their motions were obsery-
ed, they prudently returned into Louden
county before daylight. This is the
whole truth CONCERNING the body Of 5000
Confedera caNRirX crossing the river in
to Mary land, 0veSRThich the secessionists
here were rubbing their hands last night.
CAIRO, Dec. 31.--A construction train
left Columbus yesterday and went aS
far as Union CITY without meeting any
obstacle. Two regiments and battery
left to- day TO assist in putting the road
in order. The rebels have evidently LEFT
the road, which will probably be repair.
ed in a week.
