NEW YORK, OCT. 30.
The Washington Star sass:—lt 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 posted since recrossing the river into Virginia.
It is thought that portions of Jackson's advance hate
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
past at Upperville, are the advanced guard of Long-
street's corps. The rebel Generals expected pro-
bably to make a successful dash at General Siegel's
corps, at and around Centreville, on their retreat
towards Gordonsville; hence the appearance there
of the troops at the points indicated above. The
army of the Potomac is promptly in motion to meet
these rebel movements, and Generals Burnside and
Fitzjohn Porter are already so close on the heels of
Longstreet's army, that he will probably retrace
his steps towards Winchester, and seek to retreat
down the valley rather than advance further in this
direction. It will not, therefore, be surprising to
hear of a considerable battle in that quarter at any
moment. The whole Federal army, with the ex-
ception 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. Gen. M'Clellan's head-quar-
ters are at Berlin, immediately on the Potomac.
The rebel pickets have again appeared opposite
Sharpsburg, and in front of Charlestown, their artil-
lery and cavalry being visible from Bolivar Heights.
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 southward on the other
side of the mountains. The forces which have been

found in the vicinity of Snicker's Gap and Upper-
ville are probably watching against an attack on
the flank of the main army as it stretched towards
Gordonsville. Unless Lee's retreat is much further
advanced than is probable or possible, it would seem
that Gen. M'Clellan has the power by a vigorous
forward movement, aidedby 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 generals
surrounding 111‘Clellan consider an advance on the
rebels at Gordonsville and Richmond is full of peril,
and believe that an approach by the south side of

the James River is the only and true route to Rich-
mond, and that if the matter was left to M'Clellan's
own judgment he would ship the whole army back
to the peninsula.
