ARMY MovBMENTs-REBEL DEFEAT.
CHARLBsTowN, Va, September 3.-The army
moved this morning in pursuit Of the enemy,
they having Tetreated during the previous night.
The movements of the enemy the day previous
indicated that they were moving from their posi-
ton near Smitbheld, and were massing near Mar
tinsburg, with view to cross the Potomac into
Maryland from that point.
This movement commanded the attention of
General Averill who, with his cavalry division,
moved to meet the enemy. He met the Rebels
near Bunker Hill, when sharp skirmishing
ensued, which resulted In the discontinue of the
Rebels, and the capture of twenty-five of their
army wagons and numerous prisoners.
The movements of the enemy are enigmatical.
He has thus far concealed his forces and nten-
tions with commendablo skill The probability Is
that the Rebels are in retreat down the Shenan-
doah, a step necessitated by the scarcity of sup
plies, and the need of strong reinforcemcnts for
General Lees army. The yalleyi is nearly stripped
of supplies, and can afford no support to either
army.
BUNKER HILL, Va September We made
a reconnaissance of the enemy's position yester-
day at Stevenson depot, and found Lomax 8
Division of cavalry and one division of Rebel
infantry in front of MS. There has only been
light skirmishing this morning.
