"Head-quarters, Army Potomac, Oct. 31, Evening.

"In the moving of an army like this too much caution
cannot be exercised by all lovers of the Union in giving any
information the knowledge of which would be of service to
the enemy. The location of divisions or corps by the fact
of their having moved, although seeming ot no importance
to the people of the North, is of vast benefit to the enemy
and might be the instrument of unnecessarily sacrificing
thouaands of lives and defeating the beat disciplined army
in this country. Newspapers are the medium by which the
rebels obtain many facts valuable to them, and those who
have the control of them cannot be too cautious at the pre-
sent time. Giving information as to the enemy's position
and movements is not objectionable.
"Stuart, with from 1,500 to 2,000 cavalry, came in to-
day from the Union to Mortville, and attacked a small force
of our cavalry, driving them towards Aldie.
" The old Pennsylvanian regiments are to be filled up
at once with draught men. The order has been issued,
and it is to be hoped that other States will follow this
excellent example. It should be a matter of pride with
every State not to send the greatest number of regiments to
the field, but to keep those already in service in the most
efficient condition. This can only be done by filling up the
old regiments."

The Richmond papers, received to-day, announce
the arrival in that city of General Bragg and staff.
" Washington, Oct. 31.
" Information has reached here from Perryville, Clark
county, Virginia, on the other side of the Blne-ridge, up to
yesterday. There was going on in that vicinity an appa-
rently extensive movement of rebel troops, some proceed-
ing on the Front Royal-road, any others down toward Cas-
tleman-ferry and Thomandall springs. General Jackson
was then at Perryville. His trcops there are without bag-.
gage, and those moving on the Front Royal-road also
seemed to have no baggage with them. There was a small
body of rebel troops at Charlestown day before yesterday."
General Burnside has succeeded in effecting a
junction with Sigel.
The Washington Star, of the 30th, says :--
" General Burnside has already advanced down along the
eastern base of the Blue Ridge, and formed a practical
junction with General Sigel, their lines of pickets joining.
The withdrawal of Walker's rebel forces from Upper-
ville was doubtless in consequence of the rapidity of
General Burnside's movement in that direction. We do
not believe he has gone in the direction of Snickerville, as
in that event he would be rushing into the jaws of
M'ClellAn's army ; but rather across the ridgelock of Up-
perville, over the Alexandria and Winchester turnpike.
The rebels continue to occupy the bridge between Harper's
Ferry and Winchester, on which Lee posted his army after
crossing into Virginia. We believe he is moving as fast as
he ean, as Burnside and Fitz-John Porter have already de-
feated his probable scheme of attempting to surprise Sigel.
To cover it promptly he will have to move back towards
Richmond."
