Rebel Cavalry at Warrenton and Bull Run.
The Charges against Fitz John Porter.
PILL A DEL puIA Nov 1l

IhilADELfHlA, NOV. Il.
The Washington Star of this evening has
the following: We learn that a considerable
body of rebel cavalry, claimed to be a body of
Stuart's iorce-S00 strong-reached Warren
ton day before yesterday, and proceeded down
the Warrenton junction. Their design seems
to be to make dash on some portion of our
lines from Acquia Creek to Fredericksburg,
and trust to their heels to get of. A smaller
band-about 50-is said to have been roaming
over the Bull Run battle field yesterday, and
their scouts and pickets were last night hov-
ering about Centrevllle.
The charges against Fitz John Porter to be
investigated by the new Court OF Inquiry, as
sembled here yesterday, relate entirely to the
famous report of Gen. Pope, which found its
way into the New York Herald in the shape of
letter from pne of that journals regular cor
respondents, the day before it appeared in the
papers as an official document from under the
hand of Gen. Pope. The correctness of his
allegations in that report against Gen. Porter
will doubtless be thoroughly sifted by Judge
Advocate Gen. Holt.
On the 9th inst, the q. S. steamer Octorora

NEW YORK, Nov. %.
The Times Washington dispatch says
large number OF designations have been sent
to the War Department consequent upon
striking from the rolls absentee officers.
Private John Keasler, of the 103d New York
regiment, has been sentenced to be shot for
stabbing lieutenant.
The Times Fairfax correspondent says the
rebel Stuart's quarters are at Warrenton, and
Whites cavalry are at Leesburg. The force of
the latter is only 800 men. Stuart has artillery
and cavalry, and his advance guard was on the
Bull Run battle field, but Lieut.. Koenig, sent
out with cavalry, drove them back. They have
since re-occuped part of the ground.
Falmouth, Va, dispatcher the 21st states
that we have not yet thrown any troops over
the Rappahannock. The rebel pickets on the
Fredericksburg side are posted down to the
bank of the river, which, until swollen by this
rain, was not more than 100 yards wide. The
bridges on the railroad from Acquia Creek will
soon be completed. The rebels now have ten
guns, including two heavy Rodman, planted
back of Fredericksburg, but our batteries com
pletely command them.
Fifteen forage wagons of COUGHS troops
were attacked by rebel cavalry just outside of
the lines yesterday, but the guard repelled the
guerillas, and brought the wagons and load
safely in.
A dispatch of last evening from headquar-
tiers, says our artillery disabled a rebel locomo-
tive yesterday, and the rebels are now remov-
ing flour, DC, by wagons. Our foraging par
ties are constantly bringing in abundant
supplies.
1t is believed that no serious opposition will
be made TO our occupation of Fredericksburg.
Gen. Hooker moves with the army in an am
