NEW YORK, October Am army correspon-
dent says there must be fighting egsiu, before
many days, IN the northeastern part Of Virginia,
unless the rebels Telinquish their position at
Winchester without waiting for Us to throw
down the gauntlet before them. That they will
remain in any force at Winchester is not prob
able, for II is impossible to snbsist the army they
claim to have there without possessing more IA
ciitiss for receiving supplies thar at present. L
believe 1t may safely be promised that they Will
not stand about Winchester in force. because of
our threatening attitude in a locality Of which
they are very tenacious.
Yesterday two rebels, who bad been c Mined
at Fort Delaware, took the oath of allegiance,
and were sent to Philadelphia, where they made
application fog admission as privstes in Colonel
Sageroarth's regiment. They state that at least
10000 entered Maryland, but not more than
half of them could be brought into action,
owing to fatigue, and want Of provisions, sick
ness, etc.
