Rebel Speculations.

NEW YORK, NOV. p.
The Petersburg, Va, Express of the 2lst,
says it seems now pretty well ascertained that
Gen. Burnside has Withdrawn the bulk of his
army from the Potomac to the Rappahannock.
We presume that corresponding movement
has been made by Gen. Lee. The theatre of
operations has again been changed, and Fred
ericksburg is the route to Richmond, either
feigned or really selected by the enemy. 1t is
hard 10 say what the latter intend to do. Gen.
Lee has been trying to get fight out of him
for weeks, but in vain. If he makes the at
tempt to get to Richmond there will necessari-
ly be another battle, and booder one than
any fought yet Where or when il will be
fought is past our conjecture.

considered as precedent in the future for a sur
render Of a vessel under like circumstances. The
gentleman from Ohio seemed to be eager for a
