thorities have pushed forward their move
ments with unusual vigor, sagacity and Sc.
crecy. If the rebel force fingers anywhere

at all it will be fought under circumstances
which believe will give it success.
There is nothing important from up river.
The rebels withdrew their pickets from oppo-
site Williamsport on Wednesday night, and
yesterday Gen. Kelly occupied Martinsburg.
Telegraphc communication with that place is
not re-established, nor has any train yet ven
tured up, as the condition of the road and
bridge at Opequon Greek is not kps,yn The
bridge over Bush Greek, beyond Martinsburg,
1t is reported, has been destroyed.
A train crossed the bridge at Harper's Ferry
to-day for the first time since the last rebel
occupation. Harper's Ferry has been burnt
over again, this being the fourth or fifth time
since the war began. None of the private
buildings of the town have been injured.
