ROCHESTER, N. Y., AUGUST 8, 1863. 
The Army in Virginia. 
We are in possession of very little intelli¬ 
gence from this portion of the army in the field. 
Hardly anything has been accomplished during 
the week} but the telegraph this (Monday) A. 
M., states that Gen. Meade's force has been pro¬ 
vided with an amount of rations which would 
seem to indicate a move of some length and im¬ 
portance. If this be true, a few duvs will reveal 
it We give below such items as are at hand: 
A correspondent of the N. Y. Jlerald says, 
after describing the late fight at Manassas Gap, 
that Gen. Meade, by moving into Manassas Gap 
aud preparing for battle there, for which he cer 
tainly was justifiable, having such positive infor¬ 
mation to guide him, lost t wo days aud a half of 
time in his southerly march—thus fully enabling 
Lee to reach the southern side of the Rappahan¬ 
nock before Gen. Meade could possibly do so. 
Moseby’s gang made an extensive haul of sut¬ 
lers on the 31st ult., at Fairfax C. H. There is 
no Union force situated Immediately at the 
Court House. The sutlers of the Army of the 
Potomac have been generally advised of this 
fact, but it Is a convenient resting place, at the 
end of the first day’s journey, aud some six or 
seven sutlers, with their teams, wares and chat¬ 
tels, were bivouacked there, and were all made 
prisoners. As the Orange and Alexandria R R 
is the direct line of communication with the Army 
of the Potomac in its present position, less pains 
have been taken by the military authorities t,o 
guard the turnpike road between Alexandria 
and Centerville. The guerrillas under Moseby, 
composed mostly of residents of Fairfax county, 
take advantage of this fact to make their raids 
upon unarmed passers at points where no mill- I 
tary force is stationed. 
On the 2!Uh ult Gen. H. M. Naglee issued 
orders to the Common Council of Portsmouth,

among which were the revocation of the issue of

The Richmond Urn/wircr calls upon Jeff. Davis 
to suppress the Raleigh Standard, and wipe out 
the Supreme Court of N. C. 
The Standard says Gov. Vance will stand by 
the Supreme Court and the Standard also, if 
necessary, and if Jeff. Davis attempts to use 
physical force to suppress the Standard , he will 
be met by physical force, and revolution in this 
State will be the result. The Stanford says 
North Carolina has furnished 95.000 soldiers tor

Gen. Buford’s cavalry and artillery, and a 
supporting infantry force, crossed the Rappahan¬ 
nock on the 1st. inst.. at a railroad station, and 
thence with his cavalry and artillery he pro¬ 
ceeded toward Culpepper, driving Stuart's cav¬ 
alry before him. When near Culpepper, Gen. 
Buford encountered a large force of rebel infan¬ 
try, when a fierce fight ensued, which lasted till 
dark, when he withdrew to Beverly station. The 
loss on both sides was considerable. 
This reconuoissaoce confirms the report of the 
concentration of Lee's forces near Culpepper, 
and indicates that his present headquarters are 
at Stevensburg, four miles from Culpepper. 
The twenty-nine sutler’s wagons captured uear 
Fairfax, were re-captured, with all their con¬ 
tents, near Aldie, by the 2d Massachusetts cav¬

Some 5,000 or 6.000 refugee Texans passed

There are now 1,300 of Morgan's men at Camp

Kentucky.— Maj Gen. Burnside has issued an

a rebel force, with the avowed intention of intim¬

can defeat this attempt, and the State of Ken¬

except such as may be useful to this command. 
“If a man persists in refusing to report, shoot

Mississippi —AH is quiet at Port Hudson and 
Vicksburg. The fortifications at the former 
place are being strenlhencd, and the enlistment 
of negro troops is progressing rapidly. General 
Grant, has perfected a complete system of 
mounted patrols between Vicksburg and New 
Orleans, who, with the gunboats, afford ample 
protection to vessels. Everything is quiet. There 
are no signs of the rebels on either shore. Gen. 
Grant lias ordered all sick soldiers in the hospi¬

The greatest capture of men mentioned in 
modern history was made by Bonaparte at Aus-
