NEW York, Nov 8.
/ w. @. Shanks, the correspondent Of the
Herald at Nashville, writing under date Of
the 26th ult. mentions a statement to the eff
ect that corps Of Brsgg's army was pushing
up the valley towards London and Kingston
with the purpose Of attacking Gen Burnside.
This movement on Gen. Thomas flank by a
portion Of Bregg's army is not unexpected,
aud the information is startling only because
we are told that Rwell is in command. OF
/ late we have been told that Ewells corps had
moved to Brsgg's aid, and now comes this
statement that the same commander has
moved up the valley We shall probably
hear further from this story in day or two.
1t is stated here that in all probability the
assistant Secretary Of War Mr.. Dana will
make his head quarters here and establish
branch war office in which be and Gen. Meigs
will represent the administration. 1t is also
thought bat Gen. Grant in person will re-
main here. Ii is believed by all that the ac-
tive Operations Of the season are over and
all efforts will be confined to preparations for
active abors in the spring The organization
Of Gen. ThoTas army aud keeping /. active
are Of a herculean character and one in
which Gen Thomas will not be cnyied OF
late the rebels have been using torpedoes in
a new manner: to-day they succeeded in blow
ing up another locomotive, being the third in
four days.
