PHILADELPHIA. Oct %. The Washington Star
of this evening says 1t is believed in the front
that Lee has divided his army INTO two large
corps, one under Jackson ana the other under
Longstreet, and is leaving the region in which
be has been posted since re-crossng the river
into Virginia. From information received this
forenoon, we believe that portions of ia kson 8
advance have crossed Blue Ridge by the gap at
Front ROYAL, while we ara also satisfied that q
force Of oight thousand ebels under Walker,
known to have been for two days past at Upper
vile, is the advance Of L9ngstreets corps, The
expectations Of the rebel generals was probably
to be able to make "A successful dash at Sigel's
corps at and around Centrevillc on their retreat
towar Is GordonsyIIe Hence the appearance
there Of t~ese troops at the point indicated
above.
We may not inappropriately add that the
army OF the Potomac is promptly in motion to
meet these rebel movements, and Burnside and
fitz John Porter are already so close on the
heels of Longstreet's army that he will prob
ably essay to rerrace his steps toward Wnches-
ter and geek to retreat down the valley rather
than advance further down in Il is direction.
The public may therefore not be surprised to
hear any moment of considerable battle in
that quarter.
BALTIMORE, Oct 80. The following is from
the correspondent of the american
HARPER S FERRY, Oct 29,-6 p. NJ. Since
Saturday last the movements Of troops in this
vicinity have been constant, aud with exception
OF Gen. Summers, now Couch's corps, on Boil
war Heights, our whole army may now be said
to be in motion.
Gen. Burnside's movement into Virginia has
been strongly followed up, and Gen. FiA John
Porler's corps is now in position to operate
promptly 10 the same direction if required.
Pleasant Valley, lately SO populons, Is now
cleared of troops.
Gen. Burnside is with the advance The
rebel pickles in strong numbers have again APP
peared in front Of Charlestown, and their artll-
ery and cavalry are visible from Bolivar Heights
Their pckes have also reapEeared opposite
Sharpsburgh, and picker firing over the river
has been resumed.
1t is pretty well known that q considerable
force OF rebels have already crossed the noun
tains through the Gap at Front Royal, and 1t
is believed that still larger force are passing
southwark 90 the other side of the mountains.
Surprising that this general belief OF a retreat OF
the rebels 10 founded Or TACT, there is still q
good chance for pursuit that would force Lee
to turn and give battle. The position of oui
army IS gool or accom- plishng this.
Unless Lees retreat is much further advanced
than is probable, it would seem that GET
Mcclellan has the power by vigorous iorwar'
movement aided by similar advance iron
Washington. to force Lee to stop and fight be
fore he gains GordonsvIie.
The recent rains have done no damage

New Yoak, Oct. %. The Washington Sar
Of lasl evening, says Gen Mcclellan to-day re
moved his headquarters to the Virginia side Of
the Potomac, precisely where it may not be
proper to state.
The 1rbunes special despatch, dated Bolivar
Heights, Va, Oct. q, says a general movement
has at last commenced A portion of Gen.
Burnslde's troops lett Pleasant Valley, miles
below Harpers Ferry, where pontoon bridge
is thrown across the Potomac. The remainder,
embracing three corps under Gen. Burnside will
speedily follow, simultaneously with this, the
troops at Sharpsburgh composed Of liooker's
old corps, now commanded by Gen. Reynolds,
and the corps.of Gen Fitz John Porter, are also
on the march They probably encamped last
night near the head of Pleasant Valley, ready
to follow Gen. Burnside's troops The evacu-
alton OF Winchester by the rebels, and their
falling back towards Staunton, is confirmed by
several who came into our lines yesterday. The
small pox has broken out with unequal violence
among the people at Winchester, and among
the troops, which probably FASTENED the depart
ure of the rebels. The Times special dispatch,
dated Harper Ferry the 9th, says The enemy 5
pickles have reappeared this side OF Charles
town. This il supposed to be mere icilt to
cover their retreat.

New York, Oct %. Gen. Bragg has pub
lished an official report Of the battle at Perrys-
VILE. in which he claims great victory, which
he says only for the approach OF night, would
have been completed by driving our troops from
the position A dispatch Of the oath, says Bragg S
army has retired TO sale position, which 1t
would be imprudent to state. Gen. bragg, it
says, has received 400 wagon loads OF pro-
visions. He lost $500 brarels oi pork, which
he left at Lexington, and Tell into The hands Of
the Yankees.
The conclusions to be drawn are, that Bragg
either met such an Oyerw helmng force OF the
enemy, and successfully retEeated teiore 1t, OF
that he has been too timid, and weared hi:
troops for an object which he had not daring
enough to accomplish.

The withdrawal Of Walker rebel forces from

tiont We do not believe he has gone in the di.
rection of Snickersyille, as in that event he
would be rushing into the jaws OF Gen, Nc
Clellan' army, but rather across the risse back
of Upperyille. The rebels continue to occupy
the ridge between Harpers Ferry and Winches
ter on which Gen. Lee posted his army after
crossing into Virginia, We believe he is NOV
ing elsewhere as he can, as Burnside and Fin
John Porter have already defeated his probable
scheme of attempting to surprise Sigel. To
cover 1t promptly he will have to move back
towards Richmond.

The Times correspondent at Port Royal fur
nlshes the following
The expedition was one OF some magnitude,
consisting OF the commands OF Gems Branan and
Terry The main body of these troops were
landed under cover OF the gunboats az McAay s
Point, distant about Is miles from the railroad
aud marched seven miles inlaod where the me-
my was met IN force. \ sharp fight of an
hour drove them from their position, and ma.

You'd they We're again compelled to retreat by
our closely pursuing forces.
The rebels made third stand at the village
of Pocataleo, taking the precaulon to destroy
the long bird * over the P0catalgo river, there
by eflectually preventing further pursuit.
This victory was not achieved without severe
loss on our side, and the fight appears to have
been as holly contested as any on more ex
tended scale.
While these events were happening with thu
main body, Col. Barton with $50 men enetra
ted to the railroad at Coosawhatche, actually
tearing up II lew OF the rails and cutting tn,
telegraph wire, besides firing upon a train hileC
