Pickaway county, at the house of man
named Perrill, q brother of Ex-Slate Sena-
tor PERIL, the rebel Watson, who is i'm
plicated in the Cathcart affair, and has been
out on parol, for violation Of which he
was ordered to be arrested by the War De-
partment. Last fall he voted in Pickaway
county, after taking an oath that he had
been in the State a year, when he had not
been away from Virginia, his home, four
months of course he voted for his friend
Yallandighsm. Watson is now at Camp
Chase.
The Little Rock, (Arkansas) Union says
the soldiers in Arkansas aro fast reducing
the number of female rebels by making
them their wives. One Clergyman has mar
ried AZ many as Ave couples in one day. In
the adjoining county of Conway, all single
women under sixty are gobbled up as soon
as the soldiers find them.

Grant Concentrating his Forces.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-A special to
the World says:
Gen. Grant has taken measures to add
numbers enough to the regular armies in
the field to make them irIesistable.
Concentration is the order Of the day. -
The troops are now masssd upon such linss
as the General believes will lead SO vital
stragetio points Of the rebellion.
Instead of being discouraged at apparent
weakness ofour forces in Kentucky, Tepnes-
see, North Carolina and elsewhere, the ooun-
try should DO encouraged by that fact. as
the exclamation is that our forces are mass.
cd against points and armies Of much more
importance.
When the next shock Of battle comes il
will find the Union armies in stronger force
than they have ever been before. H..
II is the rebels who are now pursuing the
scatteration policy; hence the recent success
in unimportant quarters. t.r

The Petersburg Express of the St..
says of Gen. Warren's expedition Th;
expedition of the enemy was reported
yesterday morning at Proctor's, some
twenty miles distance South, and still
in motion, elated by the success of the
RAID at Stoney creek. Grant has prObs.
bly, started larger and better equipped
body of troops on a smaller expedition
,, farther down the Weldon Railroad. That
it Ii d ra,ding party we have little
doubt, but its destination is unknoW3a

column is said to embrace large iorce
OF infantry, with sufficient quantity u
artillery, but only small force OF cav.
airy. If such is the case, we cannot
think the expedition is destined against
any distant point, as to venture far into
the interior with infantry, almost alone
would render it an exceedingly danger
Gus and hazardous one.
The Dispatch of the 9th says The lat
est information from the enemy on the
Weldon road is, that they ere still NOV.

with such an amount of Stores as 10 IN,

long absence. 1t Is useless to speculate
on their plans, which will be fully

the primary object of the movement was
to occupy the road, and so iniure it as to
