ACQrGA CREEK, Nov. 9I.-Specal to
the New York Herald: Reports from
Burnside's army to day represent every
thing quiet and unchanged.
The city of Fredericksburg has not yet
been shclled, for reasons satisfactory to
the commanding General.
The preparations for further advance
are steadily progressing,
The enemy are still iD force on the op.
positc side Of the river, and improving the
time to prepare for as vigorous resist
ance TO our crossing as possible.
A locomotive and cars were placed on
the track here to-day, and the road will
be opened to the Potomac tomorrow.
WA,HiNGToN, Nov. 24 The Peters
burg Express Of the Dist says;
1t seems now pretty well ascertaired
that Burnside has Withdrawn the bulk Of
his forces from the Potomac to tue Rap.
pahnnno:k.
We presume that a correspondent G
movement has been made by Gen. Lee.
The theatre Of operations has again
been changed, and the Fredercks burg
route to Richmond, either feignedly or
really selected by the enemyI it is hard
to say what the latter intend to do.
Gen Ice has been trying to ge! f 5ht
out Of them for weeks, but in vain. II he
makes the attempt TO get TO Richmond,
,here will necessarily be battle, and a
bloodier ono than any ihat has yet been
fought; where or when it will be is con-
lecture.
From the Frejericksburgh Herald,
Nov. 2lsC
During the afternoon the impression
prevailed that the enemy were embarking
in the vicinity Of Acqnia Creek.
On Wednesday and Thursday the Po-
tomsc river WAS covered with vessels Of
all sizes and kinds, mainly of the trans
por; order. That these were intended to
carry off the army is an opinion entertain
ed by many.
Enough Of tie army will be left over
ihe river TO keep up appearances. We
shall not be surprised if by Saturday
night the main bulk Of Burnsde's force
is on its way to a new destination, though
this is conjecture 10 a great ex'ent.
We understand that Federal prisoners
captured estimate their number at over
100, 600 but we doubt their figures.
The Tribune's Acquia Creek letter
says our army rests,a line extending from
Stafford Court House TO the Rappahan-
mock is only leint while the decisive
blows will be struck from anoth' direc.
tion. Those who appear to believe the
story cannot, however, give it any foun.
