From the Richmond Enqulrsr, Nov. 10j
Military movsmonta arc again in great aetiv-
ity. In Northern Virginia, Meade hes already
sienahzed his advance with wonderful energy
and nas inflicted a terrible blow upon me Array
nj Cen lee In Western Virgins, the disaster
n cs1 Febols' command shows tie enemy &C
i've bald and enterprisiBg. The Coniedersts
/ -enerai. defeated, is refining, says TIE Lynch-
brr, PeguIg;caa. on Salem, and approximations
are entertained for the safety of the railroad. In
Nerlh Carolina the enemy have landed Gin large
forceo st Winion, aud sTe threatening the South
ern line Of railroad at Weldon or some other
point. On lis Peninsula the enemy have been
reported &c landing in large numbers at Newport
NswH. Thus al around Richmond tie euemy
are ahnestening active operations befoIs the win
ter has bloeksdsd the roads.
Meade bss returned from bis late retreat by
no means cowed or ~evineiCg sEy unWilingness

ness, when compared with the negligence Of
somebody IN the army Of Northern Virginia,
shows il striking contrast BE hes cspi1red

Gen. Less army has been tsid to be ready and
wiling to trust 10 tie fortunes OF battle, and
we hope It may promptly ard efsetually pan

two Gifts brigEdes. Whethsr Gen. Leo intends
giving battle in he forks of the Rsppabaunock

We have no means Of kn0 wing; but should not
be surprised or disappointed if he declines bst

We should not BE SURPRISED il Meade, sstis-
fed with he capture Of the two bTigscesi cd
/ not hesitate to risk bis lGurels in 3 general en-
( r-arenenf; but, ministsrGg to Yankee vanity,
parade bis prisoners through Washington and
/ other cities, and quietly settle down at the first
/ coed place for winter quarters. The Yankee
press and Peopls rjcee over the mstoIial evt-
/ deucs Of success, sDch as prisoners; tsEe delight
in paradmg them through cities; count and re-
/ count them as q mjser his boards, sEd satisfy
/ themselves that thc rebellion is fast dying Out.
Meade understands the vanity Of his masters,
and nay satisfy their csm0rs BY q eo0RraiUls-
tory oTtsr and he parade e. his csPdves though
the cities Of sae United Sia'e5. Hayirg made
such important capture, he viii doubtless te-
pert Lee IS flying 70 Richmond ard himself
swiftly pursuing. The Yspkeos, too much de-
lighted with tee prewess Of lksir invincble amy
of ths Potomac to inquire iatO the speed of tie
pursuit, VIII sesle doWn to the business Of their
next Congress, while Meade viii 90 iRto winter
quarters il Fauqaief or CElpepsr, sndswais TIE
spring fer The certain capture Of Gen Lee.
Bot VIII Meade be permitted to settle down
into winter quarters without q fight, after this
bald and Csring Insult 10 Ia army Of Northern
VlrsiniaY It is for Gen. Lee 70 decide vhetb6l
prudence viii best b served by wiping out the
insult ~ g general engagement, or awaiting the
sptug for its punishment. Whatever Gen. Lee
may determine upon will be readily accepted as
right snd proper; bat if the wishes CT tho pee
pie could influence him, they would like TO see
the punishment fall gWih aid hesvy upon the
army Of Gen. EeB6o.
As TO Gen. Echeis, there has been so little re-
cslved, and that 70 indefinite, that We cannot
inform cur readers as 20 tho position Of military
affairs IN thft pgTt Of Virginia.
From Weldon, 70 information Of the enemy's
movements have been recsived.
TIE only i~ntslligeBee from Northern Virgins,
on yesterday, wss to the effect shat fighting WAS
going en-, but TO whet extent is a0t reported.
