1t is now believed that the main force Of the
rebel infantry did not get up to join the rebel
forces In front OF Washington until last night.
Blair's house is used by the rebels as rebel
headq uarters, it is now believed From the
fact that the rebels were seen to take some of
their wounded there yes terday, it was sup.
posed they were using it IS hospital.
Rebel sharpshooters used Morrison's or
chard, to the right of Fort Stevens, last eve.
ming, causing some annoyance.
There was some firing last evening from
ing woods and positions where the rebels might
seek to harbor. s
LATER. t-rr..
Along the entire line this morning the rebels
present much holder front than they did yes.
terday, and the indications are that thew have
been heavily reinforced with infantry.
During last night they succeeded in erecting
six-gun battery in the vicinity of Fort Reno,
from which they fired a few shots this morn
ing, doing no damage, however The battery
is light affair, apparently.
Early this morning, in the direction of Ten
nallytown, the rebels threw ont an unusually
strong skirmish line, which had not, however,
become engaged up to nine O'Clock, although
they fired few shots. ~
Up to the present time some fifty prisoners
nave been brought in from different points, and
as detachmentS of our cavalry are operating
on the TANKS and rear Of the enemy, many
stragglers will doubtless be picked up. A
rebel cavalryman with one arm was brought in
this morning.
In all the skirmishing in front of the fortifl-
cations of Washington occurring throughout
yesterday, last night and this morning, our
picket lines were not driven back a foot from
their position before the enemy appeared in
their front, except at Fort Stevens, where q
This forenoon force sufficient was thrown
forward at that point, and the rebel line was
accordingly pressed back half mile there.

Third EDITION.
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE RAILROAD.
S O'CLOCK p. nj.

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE RAILROAD,
The railroad between here and Baltimore
has been pretty effectually broken up by the
rebels, bet ween Beltsville and LAUREL includ
ing the bridge at Laurel. The rebels appeared
on the road about half past II o'clock.
The 10 o'clock train from Baltimore was lust
missed by the rebels, who were apparently
very near the road ut the time the train passed
| this way, as the dust raised by their movement
was visible, and the alarm was given to the
train about mile and a half beyond Belts
Vile. The train came cautiously down to
Beltsville and seeing no immediate signs of
the rebels, came on to Washington.
The train had scarcely reached here when
the news came that the rebels had struck the
road behind them.
We had a considerable picket force at laurel.
and 1t is possible that the rebel cavaIy in their
swoop on the road gobbled up this picket, bat
it is believed that they had time to escape.
The rebels this morning drove In our pickets
at Speneerville, eight miles west of Laurel, on
the sandy Spring road, and from this and
other indications 1t would appear that the rebels
are swinging considerable force in that direc.
ton.
About one o'clock to-day the rebels were
seen In some force in the neighborhood Of Fort
Lincoln, near Bladensburg.
.Abouteleyen o clock this morning as group,
consisting of DIR. Duhamel, Mr.. Koontz, ticket

LATER.
This afternoon an engine went out on a re.
connoissance and proceeded a very short dis
lance above Bladensburg, and ascertained that
shortly after noon the 5th Michigan Cavalry,
under command of Major Belmont, when
near Browns White House discovered
a force Of rebel cavalry, numbering from !, 200
to 1000 men, approaching from different di-
rections as IL to cut them off. MAYOR Bel
mont cut his way out losing two men.
His force made its way back to near Bladens-
burg, taking up its position near Fort Lincoln.
Immediately after this affair with Major Bel
mont the rebels came down to the construc-
ton train of the railroad, near Beltsyiile, where
the men at work on the road were at dinner
The men, being warned, jumped on their en-
CINE and made their way into this CITY, Sew
eral shots whizzed over them as they shot
away from the rebels.
A short time after dense smoke was seen
from that direction, indicating that the rebels
had burned the construction train, from which
the engine had been detached.
Paint Branch Bridge was, also burnt BY the
rebels, as we'll as that at Laurel.
The roads leading to this city are filled with
coRtrabands making their way here. They
represent the country between Beltsville and
Bladensburg as filled with rebel cavalry.
