THE SITUATION. Semis se MOVEMENT [INDICATIONS UP RIVER > - NEINTZELMAN AND SIGEL ON THE ALERT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OE THE POTOMAC. > - THE RESEL GENERAL JOE JOHNSON RE- VORTED TO BE ADVANCING TOWARDS MANASSAS FROM THE RAPIDAN. WITH A LARGE FORCE. Yesterday's New York Times formally an- nounces that the army of the Potomac is about to move upen the Rebel army before it, on the south side of the river. We do not believe, however, that there will shortly be a general engagement in that quarter: insomuch as we have no tith in Lee's purpose of fighting so rirom Richmond. It will doubtless suit his plans te draw MeCteHan as far as possible after him, on the line which he must take in falling back on Richmond; but as there are other and tar better lines on which to move sgainst the Rebel capital than down the Valley, we are not of opinion that because Lee must necesarily re- treat on that line, therefore McClellan must fol- low him over it. In the last forty-eight hours there has been much stir among our troops under Heintzleman and Sigel. All their pickets and guards have been doubled, and all their croops have been held im readiness for instant and active opera- The fact that Stuart's cavalry recrossed river a day or two since, at a point sufti- ntly near tows to admitof a night's dam- dash upon somebody or something in the ediate vicinity of W: ston, Georgetown ution immediately around us. Is in the vicinity of Centerville, which lezes that Joe Johnson is advancing from the other side of the Papidan, with 2 torce variously estimated at fror (40 to WACO. While we have no idea that Jeff Davis has auy such force in that quarter. it is highly protable that he is sending all he has there in tion of Manassas, to occupy the atten- intzelman and Sigel while Lee falls msiderable rebel force is moving this direction from Gordonsville and the , pidan, it must be to the end we mention dove. Our troops at and in advance of Cen- treville are certainly so on their cuard. as that nosuch rebel movement can damage them. Nor do we believe that it will for a day delay active ¢o-operation oa the part of Heinizelman and i with whatever the army of the Potomac jest now have in hand. PA NG COUNTERFEIT MONEY. M.

Or, in other words: that there is no reason for believing the rumor that Joe Johnson is advancing on Manassas with a considerable force, that yesterday finstered some persons on the front and last ight flus- tered more or less in Washington. If it is Jeff. Davis's design to make a demonstration along ‘the line of the Orange and Alexandria, it is ) clear that he has yet made no discernable movement, great or small, in that quarter. | THE oes HORSES: We iearn that since Pope fell back on Wash- ! ington ten thousand horses have been supplied to the army of the Potomac, though more are This fact demonstrates the , tremendous consumption of horseflesh in car- rying on the war. We have seen enough of military treatment of horses to comprehend the great waste of them in the field, aud the press- ing necessity for some change that will puta stop tomuch of it. We are assured that the (Quartermaster’s Department has no fixed price which it pays for army horses, and is buying | all that are offered at fair prices. Knowing | that it has not yet obtained all that are press- ingly required, we trust that the offers on the part of the dealers in army horses may be | quickly and considerably increased.
