Our information is such as to give encouragement to the hope that the sacred soil of Virginia will soon be rescued from the hands land divested of the polluting tread, of the Yankee invader.

ting breakfasts, and preparing to resume their march. Near here is where a part of Col. Ashby's old command attacked the enemy's rear guard day before yesterday, and drove them back.

There is a rumor the rebels have been moving a heavy force in the direction of Luray, to operate in the Shenandoah Valley, but no doubt General Pope has taken measures to guard against any disaster in that direction. The rebels have tried their hand at recapturing Fort Donelson; but have failed. The fort, garrisoned by four companies of the 71st Ohio regiment, under command of Major Nab, was attacked on Monday by the force of rebels under Col. Woodward--the same which captured Clarksville — but the Ohio boys repulsed the assailants, killing and wounding thirty of them. The rebel force consisted of 450 infantry, 335 cavalry, and
