The report of Yankees at Gordonsville.
There seems to have been some misapprehension as to the raid of the enemy in the neighborhood of Gordonsville on the line of the Central Railroad. part the early part of the day yesterday it was absented with apparent confidence, that three hundred of the enemy's cavalry had visited that town and after dashing through the place, and capturing the telegraph operator, had retired. It was then reported that six thousand of the enemy was at Orange Court House, a few miles below Gordonsville and that the greater part, if not the army of the Valley of Virginia, under Pope were in Culpeper county. We have endeavored is ascertain by cautious inquiry the facts in con with the appearance of the Yankee forces is that quarter and are satisfied that the statements alluded to are essentially incorrect.On Sunday a body of Yankees appeared at the river on the northern edge of Orange county and destroyed the railroad bridge over that but if our information is correct, they never visited Gordonsville at all, and retired after committing the damage stated. It is probable that the Vaster Government, alarmed by the rout of their army at Richmond, entertained some apprehensions for the safety of Washington, and by way of the movements of our forces in such an are destroying the railroad between Gordonsville and Manassas. It is known that they have already destroyed the bridges and track of the Manassas Railroad and it is more than probable that the Orange and Alexandria Road will be suspected to the same fare. It is certain that no from that direction upon Richmond is in or the bridge over the Rapidan would not have been destroyed.
