jyThe readers of the article, iu yesterday's

of the recruiting offices had received generous

of Messrs. Knight and Chase are to be found j
tlie names of tlfty-llve men, many of whom
have made great sacrifices in leaving depend

that Portland's quota is full, aud much of the

GUNBOATS NEAR WASHINGTON.
Rumors of Rebel Movements.
FROM FREDERICKSBURG.
Washington, September 4.
All prisoners of war taken by the federal
forces and paroled,and now within the military
department of Washington, are required to
report immediately at Gen. Wadsworth’s
headquarters. This is supposed to be with a
view to an exchange.
The work of getting the army into a good
position in front of Washington, lias been ac
complished with entire success, fio well con
ducted lias been the process of getting back
from Centreville to its present position of de
fence and perfect security, that not one army
wagon was left on the route. Everything was
carried through in the most systematic man
ner. Many of the troops now occupy positions
a short distance from the positions of last liill
and winter. The division of Maj. Gen. Fitz
John Porter, composed of the brigades of
(fens. Morrill, Martindale, Uuttertleld and
Gridins, have tlu-ir tents pitched near the
ramp ground of last year. The tents of the
famous Gridin's battery, now commanded by
Lieut. Haskell, a gallant olticer, who was wilii
the battery at the drst battle ol Hull Hun,have
their camps upon the idetitieakpiece of ground
occupied by them last winter. Lt. David H.
.Smith of the 15th N. V., and Col. McLeod Mur
phy, against whom charges had been preferred
by the colonel, have been honorably dismissed
from the service, by order of the President.
It is already known that this city and its
neighborhood were recently in a feverish state
of excitement and alarm, owing to the late
battles and the retrograde movement of our
troops, hut at the same time a feeling of se
curity was generally felt among our citizens
that the capitol was not within the easy grasp
of the enemy. When the war assumed its
with sojourners, left Washington iu alarm, but
now it is not known that any have taken
their departure under a panic or serious appre
hension of danger by the rebel invasion.
The chain bridge, the timbers of which were,
it is reported, removed several days ago, was
to-day made use of for military purposes, thus
facilitating intercourse belweeu Virginia and
Maryland.
It lias already been stated that a numlier of
gunboats have approached within view of
Washington. Tlie up|>eurance of them in the
vicinity of Georgetow n this J*. M. was indeed
a wonder, such craft never having before np
lieared in that part of the I’otomuc. Tlie riv
er shore iu that vicinity was lined with spec
tators, and the day living beautiful, the
surrounding scenery ami the movements of
tlie troops presented a scene at once beautiful
and Impressive. Tlie military movements
were conducted iu an orderly and evidently
deliberate manlier.
There are numerous reports concerning tlie
movements of tlie rebel troops. It is difficult
to ratify them all, hut there seems to be no
doubt that they have passed to Diaiusville,
Leesburg and further up the valley.
Tlie Postmaster at Leesburg reached Wash
ington last week, intending to return on Mon
day. but to-day lie wisely concluded to defer
his departure for that locality.
A gentleman who arrived from Fredericks
burg last night, a union citizen of Washington,
reports that the destruction of bridges over
tile Kappnhannock at that place was not com
pleted by our troo|« before they all evacuated,
the wire bridge, passable only for foot passen
gers and light teams,having only been partial
ly injured, and which has since been repaired
by the citizens. Scott's foundry, he repre
sents, was not blown up as reported, although
powder was placed therein liir that purpose.
After our troops left Fredericksburg the citi
zens were afraid to venture into the building,
being apprehensive of torjiedoes or infernal
machines left by our troops in the Imiiding,
over which tlie national (lag was still floating
when our inlormaut left.

From tlie same, paper we learn that the gun
boat Essex shelled Bayou Sara Sunday A. M.,
and afterwards a I mats crew lauded and burnt

transports then passed down the river, it is |

RUMORS AND REPORTS.
Washington, September 4.
There is nothing new from the front to-day.
A number of tielcl officers are in the city, in
cluding Gens. Pope and Sumner. There are
constant arrivals of troops, both on the Vir
ginia and Maryland sides of the Potomac.—
There seems to be no doubt that the Maryland
side is now free from armed rebellion. Five
scouts or spies crossed over yesterday at Ed
ward's Ferry, and were seen at or near l’ools
ville, hut they did not long continue in the
neighborhood.
A regiment of rebel cavalry was at Ed
ward's Ferry yesterday, and amused them
selves by saluting our men on the Maryland
side with Held pieces, doing no damage.
The rebels in the recent battles did not fight
witli their entire forces, having powerful re
Paroled prisoners say that the rebel soldiers
express their confidence of crossing over into
Maryland in heavy force in the course of four
days. They doubtless will make the attempt,
serves to l>c made use of if urgency required.
The most reliable among the conflicting ru
mors is that the rclicl forces, comprising at a
guess 100,000, were still moving yesterday
through Thoroughfare Gap, branching off to
the valley, and stretching upwards to Har
per's Ferry.
Gen. bigel arrived here to-day, and was
warmly welcomed by his friends. Gen. Carl

the returned prisoners we learn that the main

back to the northwest and northeast of Fair
fax Court House, as though in a position to
march back through Thoroughfare Gap, or
lorward to the Potomac at Leesburg with
equal facility.

The Ki.no and the Soldier.—Frederick
of Prussia had a great mania for enlisting gi
gantic soldiers into the ltoyal Guards, and paid
an enormous houuiy to his recruiting officers
for getting them* One day the recruiting ser
geant chanced to espy a Hibernian who w as at
least seven feet high: lie accosted him in
Knglish. and proposed that lie should enlist.
The Idea of military life and a large Imuntyso
delighted Patrick that he immediately con
sented.
"But unless you can speak German the king
will not give you so much.”
"(*h. be jailers!” said the Irishman, “sure it's
I that don't know a word of German.”
"But said the sergean, aud these you can
learn in a short time. The king knows every
mail in the guards. As soon as he sees you
he will ride up and ask you how oid you are;
you will say ‘twenty-seven;' next, how long
you have been in the service? you must reply,
'rhee weeks; finally, il you are provided with
clothes and rations; you answer, 'both.”
Pat soon learned to pronounce lits answers,
but never dreamed of learning the questions,
In three weeks he appeared before the king in
review. His majesty rode up to him. Paddy
stepped forw ard w ith “present anus.”
“llow oid are you ?” said the king.
“Three weeks,” said the Irishman.
“How long have yon been in the service?”
asked his majesty.
“Twenty .seven years.”
“Am I or you a fool?" roared the king.
“Both,” replied Patrick, who w as instantly |
taken to the guard-room, but pardoned by the i
king after he understood the facts of the case. |
