Five companies of the llth Pennsylvania cavalry, a regiment which has performed much valuable service in the country adja- cent to Norfolk and Suffolk, ander command of Major Stratton, made a visit recently to Gatesville, a small village in Gates county, N.C., about ten miles south of the Virginia - State line, and twenty-five miles from Suf- folk. On the night of the Sth the command bivouacked within four miles of Gatesville, and the next morning enteree the town, much to the surprise of the resid’ its. Thé scout ‘was subsequently extended, ind on the third day the expedition returned .o camp without the loss of a man, but with a large amount of captured goods and a number of contrabands. THE LATE RAID INTO MARYLAND. Our impression, stated yesterday afternoon, that Moseby’s raid into Maryland was then over, proves correct. We learn, by telegraph, trom Leesburg, that his force were at Corter’s Malls, on Goose Creek, Loudon county, at day- break to-day, hurrying back to the mountains. ‘As they are being pursued by Union forces from three directions, there is a prospect that they will be overtaken or intercepted to-day. They did no damage worth mentionigg in Mary- land. EX-¢ OLONEL D'UTA> : On reaching the Sing Sing prison, Ex-Col. D'Utassy was duly clothed in the garb of the establishment and put te work. He had his head shaved in New York, in preference to waiting his arrival at his destination, where he would baye undergene the operation at the hands of the prison barber. CLOS 5 The beer houses in the vicinity of For: Ban- ker Hill, were permanently closed yesterday, by order of the Proyost Marshal, for selling to soldiers. ——___ +2 From the Rappahannock. NO STRONG RELEL FORCE IN CAROLINE COUNTY, Affairs along the front of the army of the Po- tomac remain as at last advices. The enemy, | as well as our own troops, maintain their orig- inal lines of battle below Fredericksburg. Oc- | casionally a gun is heard, and some scattering shots from the skirmishers. Intelligence received here trom Caroline county, Virginia, shows that the enemy have no strong force there. Several picket guards are at the fords and landings—one at Bowling Green, the county seat. and one at the railroad. comprise their entire strength. Ten days ago $26,000 in Confederate and Vir- ~ ginia State bonds were seized near bowling Green, in transit for the North. The neck this side of the Rappahannock is quiet, and none of the enemy’s sorces are known to be there. The health of the army is represented as ex- cellent. THE VicksscrG DEFENSES MANNED bY NxcRroxgs.—A letter from near Vicksburg to the Cincinnati Gazette says the rebels haye gangs of negroes chained together to perform the labor on the defenses, for they can neither Spare the soldiers nor permit the negrues to run at large. Our camys are peopled with negroes who joined us on the march from Jackson to Vicksburg, whence they came on passes issued by ghe commandant, and who j assert that their fellows in the city would only be too glad to escape into our lines if they could. Negroes haye been seen on their works joading the guns, from which our sharpshoot- ers had driven the regular gunners, and it is | evident that the negro is still an element of Strength to the rebel arm. 7 A letier to the Boston Heral, from the blockade fleet off Charleston, says it has been ascertained almost to a certainty that the cotton laden steamer that was sunk in the North Channel on the night of the 20th ult., was the gunboat Isaac Smith, taken from us in Stono Inlet in January last, and called the Stono by the rebels. The Isaac Smith did not suit the rebels for a war vessel, and she was loaded with three hundred and fifty bales of cotton, and had started for Nassau when she was dis- covered aud fired into by the gunboat Housa- | tonic. 7 The two thousand rebel prigoners who arrived at Philadelphia on Wednesday, trom ; Grant's army, entered into a conspirficy on | board the boat, between Memphis and Cairo, to capture the guards and effect their escape; but one of the rebels divulged the programme, | and the contemplated attempt was frustrated | by the prisoners being compelled to He down, while guards were stationed at eligible points, | with instructions to shoot the first man that Tose. &7 A committee of the Grand Lodge of New \ York Free Masons nas decided that no action is called for with regard to the Grand Lodge of Virginia, on the alleSed ground that that State i has seceded, because, say the committee, “our | laws recognize no act of the State of Virginia, | and would be as competent to disregard the | jurisdiction of a city mm its exercise because a | Mob made the rights of life and property inse- | cure for the time.” &#7 James Baird, convicted in April last by the United States District Court of Delaware, of robbing the mail, and William W. Bain, convicted in Minnesota, of counterfeiting coin, have been pardoned by the President. PrexsonaL.—Capt. Todd, Provost Marshal, | retarned to the city this morning, and at once entered upon the discharge of his duties. 7 It is denied that the command of the . troops in the department of Gen. Dix has been transferred to Gen. Hooker. @7 Three thousand rebel prisoners, from Vicksburg, have arrived at Indianapolis. REBEL MOVEMENTS IN ARKANSAS.—The la- test intelligence from Arkansas states that the rebel leader Marmaduke has his present head- t Jacksonport, where he has a force 060 nen.

Joe Johnstgn Concentrating Troop: to Operate Against Him—Grant Able to Protect Himself Front and Rear. Two dispatches were received here Thurs- day night from Major General Grant, ad- dressed to different gentlemen in_high official positions. The dispatches are dated Monday, 8th inst.— a much shorter time in obtaining advices from Vicksburg than heretofore. Animportant fact, and one which obviates much anxiety, is derived from them, namely— that General Grant was in communication with General Banks as late as the 4th inst., at which time Port Hudson was closely invested. General Grant repeats what isalready known or believed, that General Johnston is concen- trating troops, with which to operate against | him, and mentions a report that three divisions are moving from General Bragg to reinforce Jobnston. General Breckinridge is known to haye joined him. Vicksburg is still closely invested. The siege rogressing favorably. ‘he tone of the dispatches is represented to be such as to show that Grant fears neitherthe enemy in his front norin hisrear. He will protect his lines at all hazards. itis presumed that he did not know at the date of his telegram whether or not he was to be reinforced. The information inspires in@reased hope and confidence in the success of the siege. | Vete.—We have reason to believe that Grant has been heavily reinforced, and that he will be able to maintain his position against any force the enemy can bring against him.—Ep. STAR.] GUERILLA WAR IN VIRGINIA. A Cavalry Expedition into London and Fauquier Counties—Moseby’s rendezvous broken up. Beryville, Winchester and that section of Virginia is still infested with guerillas, who are committing depredations against person and property to an alarming extent. On Saturday afternoon, June 6th, a party of rebel horsemen, estimated to number one hun- dred men, dashed upon a small wagon train onits way to Berryyille with supplies from Winchester- The infantry guard of the train fought bravely against tremendous odds, and not until one of their number had been killed and several wounded, did they surrender. As the guerillas carried off their killed and woun- ded, we are unabdle to estimate their loss. Our loss of Government property amounts ‘o only teen horses—all the horses trom five wag- » except two killed in the skirmish. The attack upon the train was made near the Opequan, about three miles trom Berryville. Citizens, residents ot the neighborhood visited is mon’s regiment, of Gen. Joues’ command. | Moseby, according to the statements of men of | his since captured by us, had nothing to do with this affair. i Snday, at 10 o'clock p m., Captains Boyd, « oi oft and Bailey, of K, with one hundred men | ist New York Cavalry, started on an ex- | pedition into Loudou and Fauquier counties. Crossing the Shenandoah opposite Schley’s Gap, the detachment moved in the direction of | Fiedmont, on the Manassas Gap railroad en route to Pledmont Station. on what is known | as the Crooked Creek road, a number of priso- ners were taken belonging to Moseby’s com- anand. The command reached Salem about $o’clock | Moncsy evening, picked up two or three oi | Mosevy’s men, and learned that Moseby had taken quarters in the neighborhood. The next | question under discnssi was how to find | him. Capt. Boyd, in succeeded admi- | tably. He learned that Moseby’s rendezvous narters had been fora long ume at the residence of Col. Hathaway, about jive miles from Salem and twenty trom Front Royal. | Col. Hathaway’s dwelling was found, but the bird had flown; one of Moseby’s sergeants, | who saw the Federals at Salem, having warned | himfof their approack. Col. Hathaway was, however, captured, and with him «and other prisoners the command retraced its steps, and reached camp Monday afternoon via Snicker’s | Ferry with fourteen prisoners and sixteen cap- tured horses.

WING ARMY OF THE PoroMAc, June %,—Our line of rifle-pits, extending for a mile between Deep Run and the Bernard House, which were thrown up by us night before last were strengthened yesterday, and last night an additional line, around and to the left of the Bernard House, was erected. These works re a quarter of a mile from the river bank. They would enable us to defend ourselyes | against a treble force. Behind ‘them lay the forces we have thrown over, while a quarter ofa mite ir front stand the pickets, No firing took place yesterday nor last night. This morning the company entitled Andrew's Sharpshooters, trom Gibbons’ division, second corps, crossed the river and took a position to the right of our line, for the purpose of trying their new telescopic rifles, lately received. They were organized early in the war, with this description of arms, but on their getting out of order, have, since the battle of Antietam, used the Colt’s rifle. They are now firing oc- cusional shots. Beyond these, all is quiet on the left wing, and the two armies are tran- quilly contemplating each other, to the music of the trees and the sweet morning air. What plans for the offensive the Commanding Gen- eral purposes adopting are yet a mystery, but by his new moye he has succeeded in deterring the enemy trom sending forces elsewhere. It is said that Lee went on Friday to Culpeper to review a large body of cavalry, preparatory to a contemplated raid into Maryland and Penn- sylvania, but that our crossing on Friday caused him to delay the mevement. 7” It is reported that Admiral Dapont will be assigned to duty in the Department of the Gult.
