The intelligence which we receive from our forces now operating on the
Northern border of the
State is exceedingly meagre.
We have nothing really definite or satisfactory as to the present location of our army, and only rumors with reference to the movements of the enemy.
Some of the passengers who came down on the
Central train yesterday evening assert positively that the main body of
Meade's forces has crossed the
Potomac at different fords east of the mountains, whilst others maintain that there is no considerable force of the enemy on the
South side of the river, and that they have only their cavalry on the
Virginia side.
Between these conflicting statements it is difficult to arrive at the truth.
