Last night an officer of “Scott's 900” arrived here from Edwards’ Ferry, where, we believe, he has been doing picket duty, and brought a report that a body of Stuart’s cavalry, repre- sented to be between eight and ten thousand strong, were yesterday ac'ually in the vicinity of Leesburg. The prevalence of this rumor in that quarter, accounts for the burning ofa small commissary’s depot in that immediate vicinity, said to have been done by those in charge of it about daybreak yesterday morning; the frightened ones performing the feat of whedon ating teem Weak Sng ht ea tt ately aiterwards. The imaginary eight or ten thousand rebel cavalry making this commotion were probably a brigade of Union cavalry which has been in the vicinity of Leesburg and Edwards’ Ferry for two or three days past. On the night before last, some cavalry—it is not knewn whether numbering ten men or & company or so,— | crossed the Potomac into Maryland at Coarad’s ‘Ferry, near Ball’s Bluff. As the factof their having crossed is reported by surdry canal boatmen, who were in the | vicinity at the time, as above reported, the chances are even that they were a small de- tachment from the Union brigade mentioned above; more especially as no information that they have done any damage whatever in Mary- land has reached Washington, that we have been able to bear of.

A battalion ofthe 16th Illinois Cayriry, who have been arresting deserters in Fayette and adjoin- ing counties, were last night attacked at Van- dalia by four hundred armed Copperheads, who attempted to release the deserters in their charge. They were led by an officer formerly in the United States service. The Copper- heads were repulsed with a loss of several killed and wounded The cavalry force is fully able to protectitself. Accounts from oth- er parts of the State show that the Copperheads are ripe for any Movement against the United States Government.” #7 Lieut. Col.

THE RIVER. sa | ROSSING AT PORT CON- THE REPORTED C WAY. —>—__ from a vessel just arrived that sates: past few days rebel cavalry have been seen at different points on the Potomac river. Once or twice they have Leas seén in companies near the old ee at Shipping» Jock-pit and Mathias’ Poin' ere: of the crossing of the rebels at Port Conway, on the Rappahannock, is brought by contrabands, who say that the Confederate force croesing is frem ten to fifty thousand, A ity large margin ! a a ieagh ane story of the crossing has not as- sumed a definite shape sufficient to give it any great weight, it seems probable that some rebel force has been in motion lately in that vicinity. The Richmond Enquirer, of Aug. 20th, says: « We are without any further intebdigence from our lines on the Rappahannock, thedown train on the Central Railroad, which is our usual source of information from the Army of Northern Virginia, having failed to arrive last evening. This was owing, it was understood, to the cars being appropriated by the military authorities for the conveyance of troops to cer- tain points threatened by the enemy, which we are not at liberty to mention.’ The same paper thinks that when Lee makes his advance, “there will be no battle at « Massasg,’ for Meade will make no stand this side of Washington.” THER OF THE CAPTURE OF THE YREBEL STEAMER ALICE VIVIAN. SS MBERS OF GEN. SLAUGHTER’S SEY ERA METAR ON BOARD. eee Ls THEY ARE MADE PRISONERS. ee eee In a report to the Navy Department, Capt. Walker, of the De Soto, says with regard to | the capture of the rebel steamer Alice Vivian, given elsewhere : «On the dsy of the capture of the Confederate steamer Alice Vivian, & falling barometer and the threatening aspect of the weather * * * admonished me to send the prize into port with the least delay; therefore I had not time to as- certain the character of the passengers trans- ferred from her to this ship. Upon examina- tion I find that among these men are several of the staff ot Gen. Slaughter, C.S. A. I am in- formed that Gen. Slaughter had embarked on board the steamer with all his staff, but thata few hours previous to her leaving Mobile Bay he returned to the city, accommpanied by Capt. Aldrich, of his statf, and perhaps others; whether with the intention of rejoining the steamer I cannot learn, but from the fact that the baggage of Capt. Aldrich and others had been left on board, it is probable that such had beenintention. The destination of Gen.Slaugh- ter is Texas, whither he was going to raise a brigade.” THE latte Ea aS OF CHARLES- Late Richmond papers contain the following dispatches: CHABLEATON, Aug. 25.—The enemy’s land batteries have been maintaining a steady fire on Sumter all day. The fighting at Fort Wagner was chiefly confined to the firing of our pickets on the en- emy’s sappers, who continue to approach Wag- ner. This evening, about dark, the enemy’s bat- leries opened a furious flreon Wagner, prepar- atory, as was supposed, to the assault. The following official dispatches have just been received: Fort SuMTER—7X p. m.—There is an assault now being made at Battery Wagner. Axrrep RueEtT, Col. Comdg.

S. Marshal, of a large amount of valuable confiscated rebel property in the District of Columbia, drew alarge crowd there, including not only 4 full representation of ye solid men of Washington, but also num- bers of houseless folk, temporary residents doing business in Washington, and unable, from the scarcit, of hopes, to @ roof to cover them, though able an wilting pay good prices for such accommodations. Tothis class especially the opportunity of buying im- mediate jon of. 8 class tenement (as many of the houses adv certainly are) Tolding posession ouly during the lifetime of boldi ion iy 0 the ret bownee! Several ladies also were resent. 3 At the hour of eleven one popaler and good- looking Deputy Marshal, Phillipe, came for- ward at the. front of the east wing of the City Hall and adjourned the sale to the court-room, st being a little too hot in the sunny exposure «f that front. The crowd follo' ) and con- iderable eagerness was shown te get front positions, where they could catch the eye of the auctioneer in the coming sale. Mr. Phillips proceeded to read the decree of the Court for the sale, and stated that the terms would be one fourth cash down, balance in five days; possession of the property to be given in ten days. The latter clause suited the honseless ones amazingly, and they licked their chops with animation over the prospect of quitting ab- horred boarding-house ranches and setting up their household altars in one of those aforesaid desirable bricks, in just about a fortnight's ibe Deputy Marshal went on to read the cesce pion of the property of A. Y. P. Gar- nett, (Dr. Garnett, reported dead,) and invited bids, but at this juncture the tall, soldierly figure of Capt. Todd, Provost Marshal, was seen looming up in the vicinity of the paper, Marshal, and he produced a document whic! he proceeded to reud. It statcd that by order ofthe Secretary of War, cer!in pieces of the property announced to be sold, and now oc- cupied by the Government, would be retained possession of by Government uriil further notice. Capt. Todd, (with a bland sr ‘le, which. must have seemed cold-blooded, however, to the houseless ones, ) said he did not wish to in- terrupt the sale. It could go on with this un- derstanding. (Laughter, in which the house- less ones did not join.) The property specified in the order, read by Capt. ‘Toad, was that of French Forrest, John N. Mamitt, A. Y. P. Garnett, James J. Waring, Cornelius Boyle, (except lot No. 10in square No. 40,) Lavinia Boyle. and H. B. Tyler. Mr. Phillips announced that in order to ar- range matters the sale would be postponed until Wednesday next, September 9th, at the same time and place, and the crowd separated without an opportunity to “buy themselves rich.’’ eels t EES Tue Drart.—The following cases were dis- ed of by the Board of Enrolment up to the Eour of 2} o’clock to-day: John Corksgrow, over age.

They state that boatmen in the vicinity of the Ferry Teported that on Sunday night drums were heard on the Virginia side of the river, giving token that Rebel infantry were near by; and the boatmen also reported that large flat boats were concealed opposite to Muddy Branch, on which the Rebels would probably attempt to cross. On Monday night, Captain McCallum and Lieuts. Burgess and Dagwell were sent with thirty men to reconnoiter near Leesburg; and when they neared the town, about daybreak yesterday morning, found it occupied by a large number of cavalry, who, as soon as they discovered our party, sent a force after them and chased our men some distance, but did not succeed in overtaking them. They started down by different routes to the ford over which the reconnoitering party crossed, to intercept it, but Captain McCaliam returned by a different route. In the oe Lieut. Burgess’ horse stumbled and fell, and it was feared that he had been captured, but during the morning he returned, having by bye-paths kept ont of sight of the cayalry, and crossed at Nolan’s Ferry, Our men came down the tow-path to Great Falls, seeing no signs of rebels on their way. Advices to-day makes it pretty certain that the cavalry with which they this adven- ture was our own, and if so, it is a pretty good joke on somebody.
