Tha S.tnatiOn.

The sudden move Of Gen. Burnside
to Fredericksburg seems to have taken
the rebel commanders by surprise.
Stonewall jackson, who has been linger-
ing on the western slope of the Blue
Ridge Mountains, watching for an OPP
portunity to pounce upon the rear of the
Federal army and intercept its commu-
tons, is now under the impression that
the Shenandoah Valley is no place for him
that ne is wanted in front He is re-
treating from the Valley, and will make
haste to get between Burnside and Rich
mond
Any one who chances at the map of
Virginia will most naturally conclude
that the true route to Richmond for an
invading army is either by the way of
Acquia Creek and Fredericksburg, or
by James River. McClellan's failure on
the latter route, and the immense de-
fences since thrown up by the rebels an
ticipatory of an attack in that direction
the distractions in the James River and
the liability of the entire blockade of
navigation on that stream--renders a
second attempt in that direction unwise.
Again, tie immense Notifications at Cor
louisville, and the massing of the entire
rebel army within those strong works,
will make an attack on them hazardous
in the extreme, especially with Stone
wall Jackson in the mountains, continu-
ally harassing the flank of the attacking
army, if he did not absolutely cut them
off from their base of supplies.
Gen Burnside seems to have had an
eye upon all these difficulties and sud-
denly transfers his army from Warren
ton, where it was threatening an advance
on Gordonsville, to fredericksburg
Fredericksburg is about sixty-one
miles from Richmond with which it is
connected by Ailroad, said to be in
good working order at the present time.
From Fredericksburg to Saxtons June
ton, where the Acquia Cree Railway in
tercepts the road leading from Richmond
to Gordonsville, it is thirtv.seron- ->;l---
from Saxtons Junction to Gordonsville
it is forty-nins miles Thus, it will be
readily seen, that the rebel position at
Gordonsville is hanked by Burnside, and
they will have to abandon their fortifca-
tions at that point, concentrate their ar
my, and stake the safety of their capital
on an open field fight, which is all the
Union General desires; or they will have
to fall back to Richmond and there un-
dergo regular siege. The former will
be their most probable course Of action
and hence we look for two or three Of the
most terrible battles of modern times to
be fought somewhere between Freder-
icksburg and Richmond. They will
most likely take place in the immediate
vicinity of the Anna Rivers We be-
ieve Gen. Burnside not only understands
himself but his opponents as well, and
we have an abiding faith that the star of
the gallant Hoosier Is in the ascendant.

that Mobile would fall an easy prey to
the Federal army.
The Confederates are fortifying, with
all possible rapidly, the city of Jackson,
Miss. Large reinforcements were ex-
pected at Jackson from Arkansas and
other points South. The great battle be-
tween Grant and Pemberton, it was be-
lieved, would take place at or near Jack
son, Miss. 1t is supposed that the Con-
federates at Holly Springs will fall back
without fight at that point
On Monday the cars on the Mississippi
and Tennessee railroad only run up as
far as Senatobia, about So miles from
Memphis, and it was said that it would
not come up again as far as that point
The Confederates were expecting the
arrival of the Federal army all along the
road, and on getting to Senatobia they
only stopped long enough for the pas
sengers to get out and others to get on,
when they moved back to Grenada

Leaving By Every Possible Means.

From the Memphis Bulletin, of the 18th
we copy the following Southern items:
We have information from Mobile to
Saturday night. There was great ex-
citement at Mobile. The Contederates
had but few troops there, and the people
were momentarily expecting the arrival
of the Federal army, which they imag-
ined travelling overland towards their
city. There was general stampede of
all who could make it convenient to
leave. Men, women, and children were
crowding the cars, steamboats,, and all
sorts of private conveyances in order to
get out of danger. The impression was

toned in yesterdays papers turns out to
be good bill. The specimen was not
only condemned by Mr. Wolff, but also
by teller in one Of the principal mon
eyed institutions of the city. If not
counterfeit, it certainly, when compared
with other bills, presented the discrepan-
