The fact that our outer plokots retired to-day a mile
sad a half has gives rise to some camp rumors respect
!?( a large force of the enemy approaching. The truth
p, however, that our pickets were advanced a mile and
? half Is tbe direction of Malvern Hill three days ago?
fets while the exchange of prisoners was going on. The I
rebels objected to the advance, and refused to parole any
Mors prisoners unless the pickets were withdrawn. This
was done yesterday, when our pickets were retired to
their original position. Except one or two raids upon
sir eattle herds, the secesh have been quiet in tSe im
SMdtate neighborhood of tbe army.
There Is a feellag throughout the camps that some de
sislvs operations are nsar at hand; an indefinable some
thing seems to Impress our soldiers with the idea thai
they are about to be called on to fight. Perhaps the
wish Is, in a measure, father to the thought. They
have recovered from their fatigues, and inaction begins
to grow irksome. All the trenching necessary for
the defence of the position Is completed, tbe arms are in
order, the regiments have been thoroughly inspected and
drilled, so that everything Is In capital condition for the
sontest. This army could to-day make the most glorious
fight tbe world has ever seen If the generals will direct as
well as the men will set. Nothing but a long, protracted
eotitest and overwhelming numbers would enable the ro
bots to gain the victory.
The trenches to which I alluded, although extensive,
have oost tbo army but little labor,comparatively. Only
? few brigades have been employed upon the works, and
the fatigue duty of those engaged upon them has not ave
raged more than one day's work of eight hours per week
for each soldier. Those orators at war moetlngs at the
North who raise the bugbear of our soldiers dying in the
trenches ars laughed at here. Their eloquence upon that
subject Is calculated to disoourage recruiting, and
should be discontinued. The everlasting cant about
SMkiS| negroes dig trenches for the army Is poured forth
at these meetings for political effect rather than for the
real boneflt of the army. "First catch your haro," itc.

Tlia gr" ileal activity prevailed in the camp of this
army yefltarilay, and tho thousand and one rumors which
gaiaed credence and proportions as they rolled, tended t?
croat* considerable excitement?a thing almost unknown
to our troops since the recent grand battles. Early in
the morning the balloon Intrepid made an ascension, and
unmediately on Its descent the entire fleet of men-of-war
and gunboats were seen moving towards City Point. The
object of this m moeuvre remans a secret; but It was re
ported that tho new Mcrrimac, backed by six other rebel
vessels, had pu-sad through the obstructions on the James
river below Richmond, and ventured out to give battle
to our fleet. However, frqn parties who left on* of the
vessels at a late hour in tho afternoon, I learn that no
rebel vessel had mad* its appear mica; bat our fleet was
ready l'or any emergency. **?
As a matter of precaution, a heavy battery was planted
on the bluffs near th* landing, to protect the shipping
here in ca.w of a sudden coup by the rebels.
At halt-past ten o'clock last evening the usual quiet of
this Ticinity was suddenly disturbed by the rapid dis
charge of some fifteen musket shots front the south bank
ol' tlie river. The night was as dark as Krebus, aud vivid
flashes of lightning occasion,'illy lit u? tho riv^r to some
extent. In log* tnu? than it takes mo to write this the
entire camp was arousud,amt tho 11 <shing of light* on
board the numerous transports gave notice that the lesson
taught them by the rebels in bunting the schooner Louisa
Kw.es ott Friday night last cautioued tlio boatmen
to be (>n the mert aiuinst surprise and attack. It
appears that two boat* shovel otf from th* hostile
shore tilled wltii rebels, and cume to th* stearatug Achil
les. On being hailed, they replied by firing a volJi'y,
which was returned by tit- h&uds of the Achilles, Th*
rebels tbuu li-u and pailed towards the strain transport
George lvabody, lying further down the river, and, on
bei: g Uaila 1, ant Worn-. that they were tho I'ri vo=i Guard

liraman, Assistant Provost Marshal, and Lieut. Randall,
ollieur of the guard, g> I on board of tho stcamtug General
Stewart Van Vliet, and proceeded towards the scone of
firing. Undoubtedly the coming of the tug gavo waning
to tho rebels thut measures were on foot for their appre
hension. and, as usual, they "skedaddled" about
ms suddenly as they made their appearance. It
was generally expected that field artillery miglit^b*
opened on the shipping from tho opposite shore;
but the gunboats iyii.g oil'hero would soon liavo made tho
ptacc loo hot to hold a rebel. The Van Vliet mado the
tour among the entiro shipping, and, ascertaining that no
d im.ige was done, returned to tho Landing some time
alter midnight.
As far as 1 can learn no one was hurt on our sld*, and,
owing to tite sudden departure of the rebels, tho result of
tho oxecution inflicted on them, if any, must remain a
mystery, unless they choose to divulge it .themselves.
Th.s morning at three o'clock heavy tiring was beard

The steamer Georgians arrived this morning from Balti
more, bringing some two hundred secesh prisoners, t:iken
In the volley of tbe Shenandoah, and now on th?lr way
to be released. They presented a motley appearance. (If
the partiea on board tlie Georgians offer a fair sample of
the Southern forces, the rebel army must be like Joseph's
coat of many colors. Some of the prisoners were In
regular uniforms of gray clothes, others were habited in
garments half military, half civil, while others were
clothed is the inevitable butternut brown domestic of the
Southern confederacy. Host of them looked cadaverous and
careworn, and some of them wore evidently quite ill.
Perhaps one quarter of the prisoners were mere beys.
They expressed satisfaction at being on their vray home
again; but the gratification was daahod by the reflection
that they would be immediately pressed into the army.
Home to them is not to be a joyful meeting of loved ones
and friends, but a transfer to the deprivations of the
Southern camp. Kvea the contemplation ef the change
from the humane treatment of their Union captors to the
Inevitable return to the ranks seemed to cause many of
them very bitter reelings.
Porter's mortar fleet made Its appearance tliis morn
ing. Of course, for obvious reasons, it wo>ild be im
proper for mo to make further mention of the fleet
beyond the announcement that everybody here is de
lighted with all things connected with it.
A great deal of neortless alarm has been created in re
gard to Suffolk. Notwithstanding tbe bugaboo story of
the informant of tho Associated Press, Suffolk was never
In less (lunger of an attack than at prosent. Nothing
more formidable than some straggling parties of the
enemy b is been known to visit the lower side of the
Nar.semoud, These stragglers have exhibited much
boldness, it is true; but this spirit of dnring has be< n
mure the result of our own negligence than from any con
fidence in their strength. Recent rtconnoldsanc.es lw\ o
demonstrated the ('not that no rebol force Is this side of
lvoe, and that even is too Insignificant to create the least
alarm. Oar scouts have been two miics within tho
enemy's lines beyond the Rlackwater, and tuve falkd to
discover traces of the rebels in any strength. In front, of
Sulloik the enemy is not as presuming a* hen as two
lUunths ago, when a portion of Harlan's cavalry was cut
off. There is evidently a disposition to create a diver
sion in favor of the enemy by means of scares,
which the secessionists around Norfolk and Suffolk aro
not slow to improve. With pruper precaution on the
part of the government Suffolk is in no danger, even If
the enemy should have the hardihood to make aa a:lack
upon it. The oniy. vulnerable point ft gunboal would
effectually protect. On Tuesday evening a colored girl
was shot atNufloik, by some person unknown. A party
of colored persons wore in a back yard, when some one
approached and discharged a pistol over tbe fence. Tho
snot took eject in tlie girl's leg, causing a severo wound.
It has become a favorite amusement with tbe chivalry In
that section of Virginia to lire at negroes. Beyond our
lines owners are hurrying off that species of property as
[?i>ldiy (M possible, leaving tlie crops to take care of
themselves* m* ,
I loam that the Military Governor ff Norfolk is in an
embarrassed position. He has been so excessively leni
ent to the secessioni?ts, so devout a disciple to till doc
trine of conciliation, and so extremely ten
der toward the female U"HU"rj (I Ibai ojtv.

not equal to the emergency. Ho b?S, ju order to break
up the mail laciillies betwofu No folic and Rioltmond,

While it m?y 16 some way inur upon the facility of

panic, -'ibe iieopie are excited ou ibe woutl question,

NEWS FROM GEN. POPE'S ARMY.
General Pope at Warrenton?Capture of
a Rebel Mail?Disregard of the Order
Relative to Protecting Rebel Proper
ty, Sic., &c.
WlSTTINGTO*, August 1, lf?B3.
T-he following despatch is at hand fiom the ILjrald's
correspondent:?
WiRp.KirroK, Va., August l, 1382.
M^jor General Pope and stair and escort left this village
at ten o'clock yesterday morning for Warhlngton, com
monly known as "Utile Washington," the county seat
of Happahnnnock, dislant twenty nine miles. Tho Gene
ral was attired in tho habit of a citizen, and passed
through tho main street unostentatiously. Ho has boen
a source of mingled curiosity snd dread to the disloyal
residents. If his inflexibility has enraged them, his sol
dierly bearing and positive patriotism have exacted their
respect and admiration. The publieaiion of his order
banishing into Dixie all males who refuse to take tho oath
has wrought them to n pcifect pitch of frenzy.
Dr. Bispham, of tho village, waited ujxin General Pope
yesterday, and asked if he woujd euicrce the order. He
pointed, at the same time, the agony of tht womon aud
children, and stated that the effect would bo to place six
new regiments in the rebel sorvlce. "Wo can't take tho
oath of allegiance," said the Doctor, "and wo won't?
man, woman or child; but we will give parole toatteod
to our own business, afford no communication, and quietly
stay upon our properties."
I '?! shall enforce tho order to the letter," said General
Pope. "I did not make it without deliberation, and if
you don't tuke the oath you shall all go out of my lines."
The villagers now intend to appoint a committee of
ladles to wait upon the General with a petition, bailing
in|this, they had intended to select a committee to proceed
to Washington city sad intercede with President
| Lincoln; but Gen. Pope Issued a stringent order that none
of them should hare leave to |o down In thetrains, nor
would he pass them through our gua: ds on the common ;
j roads. He is a man of his word, sud the soldiers think,
with him, that the farce of avowed. disloyalty should be
dropped from the bills. What shall we think of a com
munity that pleads for federal protection and yet declares
j Itself rebel to the last and to a man t Indeed, the order
oughUIso to Include the womon, all of who:,i aro blatant
and undisguised traitoresses. They can be heard nightly
ou every piazza, sneering at our failures and applauding'
rebel successes. One would think that we wero prisoners
hero, rather than the garrison of the villugs.
Our outposts at Orange and Madison are the real centre
ef information, and I shall depart Tor tholr vicinities to
day. A rebel mall was captured at the latter place on
Wednesday. The letters wore all dated Richmond, and
gave a doleful statement of hunger, disease uid fatality.
One brother writes to another, <' Don't be a fool
and enter the army, Jack. I would see the
country to hell before 1 would enlist again."
Tho mail carrier was an erratic eld man, who qaietly
said, "I didn't think you would mind a few lettort." His
Ideas ef forbearance wer e evidently based upon the pre
vious long snffisrance of the (Julon authorities. '
In despite of many adverso statements. I must persist
In the belief that General Stonewall Jackson is now post
ed at GordonsviUe, with a oommand of fifteen thousand
men. Our scouts agree In this, and one or them professes
te have talked with tho renowned rebel in person. Jack
son Is said to be melancholy since so many of his old and
tried valley troops wore summond to Richmond to be
slain. "Tho General,' said one or the intercepted letters'
'?says that be will not cross the river with his new
levies, but ir the rcderals come across the Rapldan
in rorce he will teach them a lesson that will never be
forgotten." We have, nevertheless, occupied Orange
Court House with horso and foot, and aro many miles
further toward Richmond by this routo tbmi we have
ever been before.
It is the current belief here that we are on the best
road to the robel capital, and that we nill be the lirst of
tho two armies to enter thu stronghold.
Guerilla skirmishes are still talked of in camps, as tho
road ,>lratos haunt all tho mountain fastnessoJ, rrom
which they emerge at opportune times and rob or murder
wayrarere. A paymaster was proceeding to Madison on
Tuesday, with upwards of one hundred thousand dollars
In his jwssesslon. He was waylaid, but managed to
escape with a bullet through his hat.
Notwithstanding tho order of General Pope, relative to
guarding rebel dwellings, parties have boeu despatched
from tho New York Ninth (Major General McDowell's
command) to take charge of two residences In the neigh
borh od of Warrenton. This appears to be a Hat disre
gard of the senior General's Instructions, aud * 111 doubt
less be examined into when he returns tolParrenton.
Tills town, meantime, is properly canvassoa by tho
provost forces of Captain Hendrlckson, who is busily era
played la wstching citizens, soldiers and sutlers.
Tho Ninth Now York gave an entertainment on the
Public gret^jj jjight of voc.ll and Instrumental musio,
?Iminstic recitations, He. They puMluh ? newspaper,
called after tholr ro^iment. ~.
I do not think we will have to wait long for stirring
news from Dlxlo.

Tho cavalry here is a very efficient arm of our service.
Our h r>es and those of tho rebels are ofti) e<piaily
mau hod, and llie chasing aud counter chasing up n ho
roads and laues is of a very e .citing description. Tim
rebels that scour those neighborhood* are mainly guo.
riilas.and their warfare is cwiducto I iu a dastardly way.
A captain of Pennsylvania cavalry proceeded a little
way out ui' Madison, Madisoa county, the other day, and
suddenly tumbled whh his command upon a bevy ot
mounted rebels, to whom tlu-y at once laid chape. a
rebel who hud hurriedly leajied from his horse took deli
he..iio aim at the capt.iin through it panel ot tlio leuca
and tired at the distance of ton jards. Perceiving that
he hud aliased, the villain at onou threw up his hands
and cried, ?' I surrender." IIis murderous design c mid
nut so be atoned, and the cuptain, with a crack of his
pistol,sealed li s fate tor ever.
- Frequently the rebel horsemen load us upon long pur
suits; by tueir superior horsemanship, challug aud em
bittering i.8, now stopping to in uk aud now scampering
to escape ub. The precipitous character of t&e country
makes tho work difficult for steeds, many of whom did
upon the \sny of hunger ana latiguo.
Nevertheless, campaigning boie Is not what I have

Few civilians are allowed to come here from Washing
ton by rail. Tho orders of railroad agents are most ex
plicit in this matter. Nevertheless, the usual number of
army cormorants are on their way, inoludiug dealers in
all manner of truth, lewd women and keepers of doubtlul
shows. lUnassaa Junction has grown up to be quite a
town, and I compared inwardly, as I passed it in the cars,
the broad,swolfing buttle plaius, dotted with ahopa and
saloons, to the Junction of a year ago. when the ground
was red with the blood of Xhe slaughtered. The Black
Horse Cavalry were raiaed in Warrenton, and their com

paroled. I saw him to-duy, and lieaid his recital of the
participation of his command in tho battle.
Affairs at Little Washington.
Camp jviar Littui WASHnroro*, July 28,1862.
Ths present locution of General Banks' *ru?7 and the
favorable change of weather have greatly reduced the
sick lists of the sevel-al regiments composing the com
mand, except the Sixtieth Now York. The mortality in
this regiment has been great for several days past.
Nothing con exceed the beauty of the scenery in this
region. The village of Washington Is situated at the
head of a valley at the foot of the Blue Hidge, and en
vironed with lofty spurs of the same mountains, covered
with dense timber. The valley extends north and south
several miles, and the divide of the valley has been se
lected as the camping ground. Excellont water is abund
ant, running on both sides, fresh from the mountain
springs.
In (toe election or delegates to the Richmond Conven
tion which thrust the State from prosperity into tho Jaws
of the rebellion, and made Its flourishing plantations
scenes of bloodshed and desolation, this eounty
gave over four hundred majority In a vote of less
i nine hundred for a Union candidate. It Is fair to sup
pose, and Intercourse with prominent men Induces the
belief, that the oath of allegiance will generally bo taken
by an equal number without reluctance, provided they
feel assured oT our power and Intention to protect them
against secession tyranny. In almost every instance our
troops liave been kindly treated by the inhabitants, and
the sick who found their way to farmhouses have been
well nursed and providod for.
Last Wednesday about ftTty guerillas Intercepted and
capturod a regimental train and two sutler wagons, be

and nearly all or their contents were recovered but
the horses bad been securod by the enein* Since' Mid

of ren.iisvous for small roviug bauds or guerillas, but no

On the itfth two of General A. S Williams' cavalry es

mountain road, to procure mess supplies. They stonood 1
at a term house and procured dinner, which they ilaid
for. llw proprietor urged them to stay longer, as he sel
dom went from homo to hear the news. On leavine
when a few steps from the house, they were iirod on by
guerillas concealed lu the shrubbery. Both were woun/

I am gratified at being able to record the release rrom
arrest of Colonel Henry Moor*, of the Forty-seventh New
York Volunteers, who was placed in durance more than
two months, since for refusing to promulgate General
Hunter's General Order No. 11. By a special order, issued
on Saturday last, he was directed to report immediately
to his regiment and resume command thereof. He came
up from Fort Pulaski yesterday, and was receivod In
camp wild many demonstration of good will. Little
speeches were made and toasts were drunk, in which the
course of tbe President In revoking the order, and the
course of General Hunter In releasing the Colonel, were
alike lauded and approved.
Coloael Richard White, of tbe Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania
Volunteers, has also been restored to tbe eommand of
bis regiment. It appears that the ebargea against him,
which were ef the most revolting character, oould not
be sustained. They were accordingly withdrawn,and
Colonel White la again at the head of his troops.
The only colonel now in arrest is Colonel Serrell, of the
VoioadfP Engineers, and upon bla case a court martial
ta to-day deliberating at Beaufort. I ass not permitted
at this stage of the proceedings to make them publio nor
to Indicate tbelr result.
General H. G. Wright, who, as the senior brigadier
of this eommand, baa occupied a prominent position
In the department since the occupation of the South
Atlantic coast, and who, as a soldier and a gentleman, has
won the thorough confidence and esteem of his troops,
has been temporarily relieved, at bis own request,
and proceeds North la the McClellan to-day. be is
ordered to report for duty to General McClellan, and will
probably be assigned an Important shore in the future
labors of the Peninsula eamjialgo. He ia accompanied by
his staff, and also by Captain J. M. Rice, of tbe staff of
Major General Hunter.
# 1 understand that tbe plans of the Commanding General
look to something else than a life ef inactivity in this
department, and that no more troops will be sparedfrom
this locality.
Brigadier General Perry salted for Fernandlna, St
Augustine and Key West, on Saturday night last, In the
steamer Delaware. He is assigned to tho command of
all tbe .forces in this department, excepting
those at Fort Pickens, south of this point. Tho
Delaware took down a large quantity of com
missary and quartermasters' stores, for tbe want of
which the people at Fernandlna and St. Augustine have
sadly suffered. General Perry's instructions refer mainly
to the question of the contrabands. He is informed that
tho practice of returning fugitive slavee, (as if, since
General Hunter's letter was printed, there was sueh a
thing In the department), will not be ullowod; and he is
directed to take serious measures against any officer who
shall be guilty of excluding negroes from oar linss.
The commanding officer at 8t. Auguatiae?Col. Bell, of
the Fourth New Hampshire?it is alleged, recently turned
a woman from his camp, and the woman was subsequent ?
'y overtaken by her owner. Col. Beli Is directed by the
Major General at once to produce either the slave woman
or her master at the department headquarters.
From the southern district ef the department there Is
no news of eonsequence. Col. Rich, commanding the
pest at Fernandlna, a fow days slnoe opened negotiations
with the rebel commander at Tallahassee for ap ex
change of prisoners; but his action was without autho
rity, and the exchange, under the orders ef the War
Department,, will not be allowed.
We have a reoeut arrival from Charleston, In tho per*
son of Robert Pattoon, who escaped from tbe city on
Sunday week, and made his way to our gunboats In tho
Stono river. Pattoon is a young man, who, through bora
and rearml In England, has resided for seven years in
Charleston, and whose family Is still thero. He was a
freshman in Charleston College, and made hu exit
from the city In consoquence ef a threatened
conscription among the stuilonts of that institu
tion. He gives a very clear and intelligent
account of matters in the confederacy. Uuslavus
W. Smith Is in command of the troops at Charleston.
The force at that point, howerer, lias been much re
ducod, nine regiments of infantry and two of cavalry hao
in# teen transferred to Richmond, und a large l>ody dis
tributed along the Hue of the Charleston and Savannah
Railroad. Every one capable of bearing arms is in the
Southern army, hnrirp beet* compelled by the rebel govern
ment to "volunteer
At Charleston t*r> Iron rlad rnirs, after tbe plan of the
Merrimao, are In process of construction. The work Is
superintended by the same parties who produced tho 111
fated scarecrow of Hampton Roads, and they are expected,
when completed, to accomplish the destruction of tbe
entire blockading squadron.
Vessels are still runulng the blockade. A regular line
has been established between Liverpool and Charleston,
and the most valuable supplies find their way to the rebels
from this source. Shortly before Pattern's departure tbe
steamers Herald and Motnphla had gone ia, and the
steamer Koonomist was daily exited. A Urge Aide
wheel steamer ran In en Friday last, and It was, no
doubt, the looked for vessel.
The people of the South are growing restlcos under
Jeff's Ima rule, and the voice of the pros* is almost unani
mously iu favor of ? change of aJiniul-tratIon. The fait
ytrrof Lee, with hit ovnoht mint army and immense re

There is nothlpg new in oeanoctlon with the army. Tha
cavalry enrry their horses, the artillery swab their can
non, the Infantry scour their muskats?that Is all. Of
course I speak of the force within the fortifications. Be*
yond them Is a picket line, where men must watch, aiotd
the two fold dangers of the enemy's bullets and the soil's
foul miasm?where sharp eyes and steady nerves and
rugged constitutions are necessary, and where the tabora
are continuous and severe.
The array is at rest. The troope are wisely kept from
battle; for the summer heats are fleree, and no excrtin*
Is demanded beyond the simple effort to keep cool.
The navy is still at work. The Nashville, we think, ia
at last.cornered. She is caged in Doughbay Sound,whera
tha Paul Jones and the Keystone Stata are watching her.
An eight gun battery affords her abetter, and must ba
reduced before she can be capturod. This, however,
will nut long be delayed.
Our floet off Charleston has been augmented, and It la
the genoral belief that tho steamers now In the harbor
can't gat out, and that vessels hereafter attempting to
run the blockade will not succeed in getting in.
The gunboat Sabago came in laat night from Harrison'*
Bar, bringing despatches from General MeClellan. Their
purport, of course, is net known. She sailed again at an
early hour this morning. The transport Mississippi alsa
arrived last evening from Fortress Monroe, which point
she left abruptly on Saturday last, bbe brought no pas
sengers, no mails and no news, save that contained in a
single copy of the Herald of the 26th.
The rebels have appeared opposite Dawfuskle with a
considerable show of strength. The hull of the wrecked
traus|>ort Winfield Scott was burned by them on Wed.
nesday night last, and I am informed that ourtreop#
have been withdrawn from the Island.
