War News. There were several different reports in circulation in the city yesterday with reference to movements in the army. Passengers by the Central train say that it was rumored yesterday at Gordonsville that Mosby had made an unsuccessful attack upon the garrison of the enemy at Harper's Ferry. We think this report quite unlikely, as it is hardly probable that any cavalry force would attempt to assault a point so difficult of access. In addition, the Federal force at Harper's Ferry and in the neighborhood is much larger than the command of Major Mosby. Sedgwick's corps of the Yankee army was at Charlestown a few days ago, which is but eight miles distant. We have another report, brought by the Fredericksburg train, that the enemy in considerable force have appeared in Westmoreland county. It is not believed, however, that their appearance there means anything more than a thieving expedition, for the purpose of stripping the county of its supplies of food and forage.
The Yankees in Northern Neck. The Yankee force that appeared in Westmoreland and Richmond counties last week have disappeared without doing any great damage to private or public property, with the exception of that recorded. The quantity of bacon burned at Warsaw, Richmond county, did not exceed 15,000 pounds.
Before Commissioner Sands --N. A. Bernstein, charged with uttering and employing a passport to which Maj. Griswold's name had been forged, was examined on yesterday before Alex. H. Sands, one of the Commissioners of the C. S. District Court, and sent on for indictment by the the Grand Jury.--The prisoner was balled in the sum of $3,000 for his appearance. The circumstances of the case are these: Bernstein was stopped by the guard at Piping Tree Ferry, on his way to Westmoreland, and his passport was demanded. The orders of the guard were to let no one pass without Gen. Elzey's permission. The guard stopped B., who had only Major Griswold's pass — B. then offered the sentinel $50 in State money to let him pass, which bribe he accepted, and then arrested and sent him to Richmond. Bernstein said he got the passport from a Jew named Jacobs; that he paid him $600 for it, which was what Jacobs asked. The police are after Jacobs.
penitentiary. From this decision, Jacobs took an appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeals, sitting at that time at Coyner's Springs in Botetourt county, Virginia, which tribunal reversed the judgment of the Hustings Court and remanded the accused back for re- indictment, assigning the following as their reasons for doing so: "That although the indictment found by the Hustings Court against Jacobs alleges that he did feloniously and falsely pretend that he could and would furnish Bernstem with a lawful passport to said county of Westmoreland, yet it fails to aver that at the time he received the fifteen hundred dollars from Bernstein under said alleged false pretence, he knew that he could not furnish such lawful passport, and also that the indictment does not sufficiently explain what is meant by the term lawful passport to enable the Court judicially to know the nature and character of the instrument which it is alleged he (Jacobs) falsely pretended that he could and would furnish.
