The Post Office Department has ordered
the continuance of the Pacific mail on the
Overland route, haFing received valuable
information that there is no danger to be

with by Indians. 1t is positively asserted

sity for the mails being discontinued. The

ly travelling on this route.
According to an Army Order just issued,

Stragglers captured and refugees who
have just come in, all agree that the main
body of the rebel army is moving towards
Winchester, all having disappeared from
the Potomac except skirmishing compa-
nies.
The abandonment of the line of the Po-
tomac by the rebels, seems 10 be more a
matter Of necessity than choice to the reb-
els, and their retreat into the valley imme-
diately followed their crossing the river.
