No credence is put in this rumor, however. The rebels are working with redoubled vigor on their fortifications, and their cavalry have of late been very active and bave captured a number of our pickets slong tue fords of the river, besides the two companies of the Third Pennsylvania cayalry at Harwood Church, seven. mileg from Falmouth, on the road to Warrenton, Lougetreet comman is the right and Bill che left of the rebel ferecs confronting us. Deserters coming within our lines report that a large body of their forces have ween detached and sent off ether wo Richnend or to reinforce Stonewall Jackson. These reports mvst be received with great caution, however, Our cavalry bave captured a number of rebels along ‘the river delow this place.

The most constant vigilance wep used might and day during the search of the, Vander- iit for the Alajama, and every vesrel met was boarded in hopes of gajning some information, The Vanderbilt has proved to be well fitted for a man-of-war during her cruise. She is said to be an excellent sea boat, carries ber batte?y with euro, and f remnikably fast.

The bark wassinuding tojthe euetward, close hauled ov the starboard tack, whep the Vanderbilt ran down jor and, when within ‘a quarter of a mije (head across her bows), stopped and bailed “to same time ringing the engine to back. The captain of tne bark, with tre ¢nglish stubbornness, paid no at. tention 10 the order, but kept on his course.

On the 2ist of November the Vanderbilt arrived and anchored at St. George’s, Bermuda, for the purpose of som- monicating with the Consul. and @ number of ber Heet were anchored off the dock yard at Hamilton, Ji was said that oue of the vessels iying in the harbor was loaaed with arms, but, owing to the fafluro of her owners in Fogland, was detained for the settlement of @ claim of £18,000. There was no hews of the Alabama at Bermuda. On the 22d the Vanderbilt sailed from St, George's, and stood to the southward and westward; spoke British brig Brisk, of Halifax, loaded with fish, bound to St. Jago de Cuba, Novem ber 4, longitude 34 degrees 20 minutes north, boarded bark Revolution, of Boston, bound to New Orleans, The captain stated that he had beeu chased the evening before by a steamer uncer steam and sail, answering in every respect to the description of the Ala bama, The Revolution was about two hundred and ei; miles to the southward and eastward of the Capes of the Delaware at the time, and as it was blowing fresh, with a heavy sea, and the bark being a fast sailer, she escaped in the darkness of the night. On learning this, the Vanderbilt immediately changed her course to the northward and eastward, im hopes of fallieg in with he pirate, but with oe success, She then, cruised up as far as the Nantucket Shoals, and scoured the ocean thoroughly ia every direction. It is suspected that the captain of the Revolution mistook ove of the cruisers for the dreaded pirate: for if it bad been bim it is not likely that he would have given up the chase soeasily.
