NEW YORK, Ocr. 30.

The Washington Star says :—" It is believed that
General Lee has divided his army into two large
corps—one under Jackson, the other under Long-
street—and is leaving the region in which he has
been pressed since recrossing the river into Virginia.
It is thought that portion of Jackson's advance have
crossed the Blue ridge by the Gap at Front Royal,
while there is evidence that a force of 8,000 rebels,
under Walker, known to have been for two days
at Upperville, are the advanced guard of Long-
street's corps. The rebel generals expected pro-
bably to make a successful dash at General
SieeePs corps at and around Centreville, on
their retreat towards Gordonsville, hence the
appearance there of the troops at the points indi-
cated above. The army of the Potomac is promptly
in motion to meet these rebel movements, and
Generals Illurnside and Fitzjohn Porter are already
so close on the heels of Loogetreet's army that he
will probably retrace his steps towards Winchester,
and seek to retreat down the valley rather than ad-
vance further in this direction. It will not, there-
fore, be surprising to hear of a considerable battle
in that quarter at any moment. The whole Federal
army, with the exception of General Sumner's corps,
which remains on Bolivar Heights, may be said to
be in motion. General Burnside's movement into
Virginia has been followed by the corps of Fitzjohn
Porter, which is now in a position to operate,
if necessary, in the same direction. General
M'Clellan's headquarters are at Berlin, immediately
on the Potomac. The rebel pickets have again
appeared opposite Sharpsburg, and in front of
Charlestown, their artillery and cavalry being
visible from Bolivar Height.. The impression
increases, however, that the main body of the rebel
army has already retreated, and that no rebels will
be found at Winchester. It is pretty well known
that a considerable force of rebels has already
crossed the mountains through the Gap at Front
Royal, and it is believed that a still larger force is
passing southwards on the other side of the
mountains. The forces which have been found in
the vicinity of Snicker's Gap and Upperville are
probably watching against an attack on the flank of
the main army as it stretched towards Gordons-
ville. Unless Lee's retreat is much further ad-
vanced than is probable or possible, it would seem
that General Iti‘Clellan has the power, by a vigorous
forward movement, aided by a similar advance
from Washington, to force Lee to stop and fight
before he gains Gordonsville."
The New York Times correspondent with M'Clel-
lan's army still continues to assert that the gene-
rals surrounding M'Clellan consider an advance on
the rebels at Gordonsville and Richmond is full of
peril, and belie"e that an approach by the south
side of the James River is the only and true route
to Richmond, and that if the matter was left to
liVelellan's own he would ship the whole army
back to the peninsula.
Federal General Grant officially reports further

The British steamer Wachuta has been captured
