Guieral 31`Clellan is working his way cautiously
iu tlw direction of the rebel position. On the
night of the 9th, General WOW* division crooned
the Potomac and occupied Langley, hive mile., from
the Chain liridge. The rebels did not show them-
selves anywhere in considerable numbers. The
Hess York Titws of the 12th nays :

sight along our how, but they make no hostile
stratioaa. Affairs on the pier Potomac continue quiet.
Several movements of ngiments have however recently
taken place, which are supposed by some to be preliminary
to something of more consequence.
The Nfac York Tiows reports that the rebels are
still suffering reveres in Western Virginia, not-
withstanding the new micro which has been at-
tempted to be jawed into their operations by
reinforcements and a change of commanders. The
Federal general, Reynolds, has succeeded in driving
the main body of Lee's army to Greenbrier Springs,
twenty miles beyond Big Springs, their former
rendezvous. In their retreat they destroyed bun-
dreda of muskets, their tents, camp equipage, &c.,
and several waggons fell into the hands of the
national troops. Advice, from General Rosecrane
are also encouraging. Hu is reported to be at
Mountain Cave, a strong position, twenty-five miles
beyond Gauley. It appears that he made an
advance ten miles further, to Little Sewell, but
finding the enemy too well intrenched, and too
strong at Big Sewell, ho fell back again to his pre-
sent position. There is no exportation that he will
be attacked, and it is likely that when he receives
the reinforcements which are now on their way
from Ohio he will again advance and seek an en-
counter.

A despatch from Fortress Monroe states that on
the night of Oct. 10, it being very dark and stormy,
two rebel steamers ran down the James River, with
the intention of attempting to pass the blockade,
but, being discovered, put back again. It is well
understood at Ohl Point that the rebels have for
some time been asaitiug an opportunity to get the
Yorktown to sea, and probably the Merrimac.
Both are iroo-elad, and, once at sea, they might do
incalculable mischief ; but it is hoped there ix little
probability of their sides being able to withstand
the heavy metal which could be thrown against
them by the Federal ships of war at Newport's
News and the Fortress. The Minnesota and Cum-
berland there have rifled guns throwing &solid shot
180 pounds in weight ; and, besides, there is the
" Union " gun, mounted on the Rip Raps, throw-
ing • shot weighing 430 pounds.
Advice' from Missouri are condrmatory of the
report that Price sod his army are in full retreat
southward without waiting to give battle to
General ITremout. A correspondent of the St.
Louis Democrat, writing from Lexington, states
that it was Price's intention, after he captured
Lexington, to remain there and operate on the
north aide et the Missouri River, and that be
actually crossed over on the 28th ult. with 4,000
mounted men, for the purpose of dortro)ing the
railroad and committing other depredations. On
the evening of that day, however, word reached
him that General Fremont was preparing to
advance against him, with • force of at least
30,000 men, and lie immediately returned with
his men across the river, and the evacuation
of Lexington commenced that night. The corres-
pondent of the Lk rro,crtit states that the force of
Price at Lexington was very large, but that many
of the men were only there for the occasion, and
bare since gone to their homes. He marched south-
ward, with a force of only 16,000 or 18,000 men,
which was likely to be still further depressed as be
proceeded. Nothing is vet known of the move-
ments of General Fremoot's army after leaving
Jefferson City on the route to Sedalia. It was
thought doubtful whether he would be able to over-
take Price, as the latter had probably too much
the start, and the advantage of a light baggage
train. It was thought likely, however, that Gene-
ral Fremont *mild at least follow him to South-
west Missouri, reoccupy Springfield, and clear once
more that seetion of the State froin the rebels. A
scout who had arrives' at Jefferson City from Spring-
field report' that there are only one thousand rebels
left there.
