The scene of their operation- for a div or two tvtst ha- been a short distant e west of Cumberland, at New Creek station; but olhur parties have appeared ou the line ot he railroad betweeu Han ock and Cumberland. Probably .1,1 KM) cavalry soldiers h tve been engaged inthe-e m ovements; an infantry have as jet appeared anywhere ou the line of the road, and it is not known certainly that any rebel iufaptrv l ave yet left tbe neigh borhood of Woodstock or Mount Jackson CAfTl'BB or NBW CREKK UITtlOlT BBSIST A NC K The only damage tbat ha yet been done aas at New Creek, on tbe Sota mst In she after noon of tbat lay a force of two thousand rebel cavslrv, under General R.xser. advanced to Vavj Creek on the Romney road, and demanded the carreoder of tbe place. New Creek being an important station ot the road, it had beeu strongIs fortified, and if there had been a suitable garrison there, it would have been capable ot an obstinate re.-istOi.ee.

If they think that bv threatening to invade Pennsylvania or even b making a demonstration against Washington, through Mary laud, troop- can be kept away Irom Sbermau, or Thomas, or Grant, they have the ability to make such a demon-t ration, and thev will be ery likely to make it It was only with bttecn thousand troops that Karly marched through Maryland und hcsieged Washington last summer; and what hoj he SO done aoce may le done again.
