Station, fifteen miles this side Of VIM
chester, Ii isavariously stated at 40,OOOI
To 0s400, bat not likely 10 exceed

jackson vever left the valley, but NOV
ed down the wesi side of the Blue Ridge,
while our army advanced along the east,
skirmi,hing at The Gaps with our ad-
vance. but never Offering serious battle.
When it became known that our army
had no intention TO enter the valley,
jackson retraced his steps. His advance
extends as far as Bath, two miles from
Hancock. HIs cavalry occupy Martins
burg. Jackson's headquarters are at
Bunker Hill.
A special from Warrenton says Burn
side has submitted his plan of the cam.
Paign 10 the authorities at Washington.
As soon as a response Is received from
them the army will move.
A Washington dispatch says II is IN.
derstoOd that the question about the des
straction of the Blanche in Cuban waters
has been referred TO Madrid, and that
Admiral Farragut has been directed to
investigate Commander Hunters action.
Il is SAID the Spanish Minister regarded
! Hunters course as so fragrant a violation
of international law, that he was some
what indignant at Secretary Seward for
postponing a satisfactory settlement, III
stead of ordering the Commander home,
and, unless the facts proved essentially
different from the Spanish version, of
making PREPARATION at once.
The Tribune has the following editori-
ally
:We are informed hat clandestine
negotiations have been opened between
certain Democratic leaders in this city
and The head traitors at Richmond, look
ing 10 u reconstruction on the following
basis:
The States now in rebellion are TO
elect members Of the present Congress.
who are to present themselves at Wash
Ington, and claim seats In Congress on or
before the frs, day of January next.
''Second-lhe House, being so filled,
will al once have a c%onjoint conservative
and rebel majoIIIy, who will proceed TO
notify the President that the rebellion Is
substantially ended that the rebel States
are ali dulyrepresenIed i'll the House /;
that consequently bis proclamation OF
freedom il null and VOID, and that they
are fully under the protection OF the Con-
slltuliOn.
'.Thlrd-Congress, thus reconstructed,
is TO proceed forthwith to repeal all acts
bearing hard upon the traitors of the last
two years, and to pass such others as
may be necessary to secure perfect IN
munity and IMMUNITY 10 them.
''Fourth--A convention of the States
is to be called wherever the united con-
servative Democratic and rebel strength
Is enough % be overwhelming, and is to
be pledged beforehand 10 make whatever
changes In the Constitution the slaVehold-
ing interests may deem essential 10 their
own future security aud permanent we'll
being,
''1hese are in substance the conditions
forwarded from this city TO Richmond by
the first envoy, but we do not learn that
thew were accepted. On the contrary,
we understand they were not. the rebel
chiefs still insisting on d,Sunion as the
basis Of peace, thus absolutely closing
the door against further negotiations. and
according 10 our informant, a second en-
ba>sy from our conservative is now IN
Richmond or well on its way thither.-
Hence we may expect to hear further
w,thIn a few days"
HEADQUARTERS Army OF THE PoTo-
MAC, WARRANToN, Nov. 15.--This morn
ing the I'd army corps. Gen. Sumner,
moved on tse front. They are probably
destined for Fredericksburg, but may 60
to Culpepper Court House first, or at
least near that point.
The other commands will move as rap
idly as possible. Headquarters will move
tomorrow. Cslonel Inglass, Chief Quar-
termaSter, has gone TO Washington for
the purpose of Fastening the work of es-
tablIshlng communication via Acqna
Creek. Other Ruartermasters have gpne
on the same business, and we shall soon
have the old line of communication open.
The bridges over the Potomac creek
and ~Rappahannock are being rebuilt, and
This road beyond Warrenton Junction
abandoned. In fact, | do not think it is
designed to hold this place after the main
body of the army leaves.
Chas. A. Dana. late editor of the New
York Tribune, has been appointed Assis-
tant Secratary of War, in place Of Mr..
Wolcott. resigned.
The Times Washington dispatch says,
up 20 nine o'clock this evening intIligence
at Headquarters of the Army is TO this
effect: All IS qalet along the front; rumors
prevail of an engagement between our
rear column and the enemy, but diligent
inquiry fails TO c~orrob0rate the reports
which are Beloved to be gr6undless.
