Rebel Army on the Potomac.

The Richmond Dispatch of Oct. 18th,
Says:-An observant and intelligent in.
formant. who comes direct from our ar,
my, says that it is now, without a doubt,
in better condition, as far as comfort Is
concerned, than it has been for IL year.
The men are generally comfortably
clothed. and receive for ~rations, bacon,
beef and flour-the last named article
being purchased at So per barrel. They
are sadley in want of blankets, however,
and suffer a great deal from the cold
nights.
The same gentleman says that the sick
and wounded coming down on the Cen,
trail road are much neglected, no water
being given the unfortunatem men who are
crowded into the cars. On Wednesday q
number of negross were put on the train
at Charlottesville, already crowded with
inyalidS. and the narrow passage between
the seats was filled with them. This state
of affairs should receive some attention,
though we have no doubt the usual song
will be sung-'nobody to blame"

The Rebel Officers in Battle.

Some time since we accounted for the
larger number of superior officers killed
or wounded in our army as compared
with the rebels, by the different practices
which obtained with two ~contending par
ties. Our officers seemingly in a spirit of
brayado, make themselves as conspicuous
as possible, and seem to think that unless
they exhaust every attempt to attract the
enemy's fires, their courage will be i'm
pugned. The rebel officers, much more
sensibly. strive to conceal their rank and
lay aside everything which makes them
special marks for our sharpshooters. This
assertion happens to have a timely con
firmation from the following official circu-
lar from rebel headquarters at Rich
mond -
CIRCULAR.-Oficers of the field are per
mitted to wear a fatigue dress consisting
of the regulation frock coat without en-
broidery on the collar, or a grey jacket,
with the designation of rank upon the
collar. Only caps such as are worn by
the p~rivates of their respective com
mands may be worn by officers of the line.
Mounted officers are ordered to dismount
in time of action, whenever they can do
so without interference with the proper
discharge of their duties.
Officers of all grades are reminded that
unnecessary exposure in time of battle.
the p rt of commissioned officers is not
only unsOldierlike. but productive of
great injury to the army and infinite peril
to the country.

The n. Y. Herald has another rig
marole from its pretended Baltimore cor
respondent. who knows so much about
the strength and the plans of the Rebels,
and who. the Richmond Wing says, is
none other than DIR. Wallis, the Virginian
on the Herald's editorial staff whom the
Wing pronounces just as useful to the
traitors as he dare be. His new letter
closes as follows:
Zone more question. If the strength
of the Rebels is notwhat | have represen-
ted, if their resources are not as stated in
my letters, aohy is Il that during eighteen
months Of acar they haze not been eoRquered7''
AHstoer.-That Doubtful Man." Major
Key, late of the General Staff of our Union
armies, says it isn't ''the game" of our
average West Pointers to have the Rebels
whipped in decisive battles, but to have
the war muddled along till the Democrats
can get into power and fix things up to
their liking. A good many things that
have passed-those eighteen months in
cluded-indicate that the Major knows
what he is talking about.

BALTIMORE, Oct. q

The Americans special from Berlin
says: Burnside's movement across the
Potomac hasn't been followed by a gen.
eral advance, but is undoubtedly an mi
tial movement. To-day there is no move
ment except a heavy reinforc ement OF
Burnside. who has taken position near
Lovetsville. This isn'ta reccnoisance, but
an advance of the left wing. Burnside
threatens equally the rebel flank and
their lines of communication at Front
Royal.
Our cavalry and light artillery under
Pleasanton are reported to have occupied
Leesburg last night. the rebel cavalry
there retreating. Various rumors tend
TO the conclusion that the main portion
of the rebels, if not their entire force,
have retreated beyond Winchester
They are not to be found in Charleston,
Martinsburg, nor Shepardstown.
The belief is general that Lee is march
ing towards Gordonsville.
