orts 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 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.

From the Rapidan. Orange, Jan. 14. --It is reported that Mosby attacked the Yankee garrison at Harper's Ferry a few days since with his whole command, but was repulsed with some loss, owing to the precipitancy of the attack on the part of his advance guard.
