FROM GEN. LEES ARMY.-After run.
ming Meade's army into their Notifications
at Winchester, Gen. Lee fell back to the
south side of the Rapidan. The enemy
have made a pretended move upon him
and are said to be concentrating st War
renton Junction. A cavalry skirmish oc-
CURED at Bealton where the enemy at
tempted to capture our wagons that were
hauling railroad iron for the torn up
track. The fight lasted several hours
when the enemy were driven back over
three miles. Our loss four killed and
forty wounded-enemy's loss unknown
several prisoners taken, among them
Capt. Seabod, a yankee Gems Aid
This forward move of Meade's is thought
to, be a feint, to prevent Lee from send
ing reinforcements to Bragg. Northern
papers intimate that Richmond will be
threatened in a different direction
thought to be by way of the Peninsula,
or by way of Weldon.
FRoM GEN. BRAGa's ARMY.-The 81.
lence that has so long prevailed concern
ing Bragg's movements, is broken by the
intelligence that active operations are
soon to be renewed. A Georgia paper
gives it as his opinion that the next
fsno5gs and Nashville. # this opiaion
be well grounded, it indicates active
movements in a direction that will give
the enemy a blow in the rear. The enc
nav are greatly annoyed by the operations
of orr cavalry in the Sequatchie Valley.
They recently captured the notorious
Colonel Cliff, of Tennessee, with his es-
cert and the mails. From the latter we
learn the important fact that Rosecrans
has been relieved of the command of the
army Of the Cumberland, and General
Thomas ordered to take immediate COM
mand under Grant, who commands the
Department. Orders to Burnside wsr g
also captured in the mails.
FROM CHARLEsToN.-Thsre has been
heavy firing for several days from the
batteries Gregg and Wagner and from
TIVE of the Mentors, upon Sumter,
johnson, Moultrie and Sullivan's Island
the heaviest, however, against Sumter,
with little damage to US. Our batteries
replied vigorously.
EAST TENNEssEE.-It is said thai
measures are being adopted to dispose of
Hooker and Burnside in East Tennessee.
The details of the movement are with
held for prudential reasons, but a strong
force is said to be moving to the relief
of Gen. Jones, so as to enable him to
dispose of Hooker's and Burnside's ar
mics
NORTHERN VIRGMIA.-The reportreach
es Lynchburg by passengers from Culpep.
or that Meade has screwed his courage up,
and is again advancing in the direction
of the Rappahannock. A considerable
portion of his army is between that riv-
or. and Warrenton Junction. 1t is. sup.
posed there is no danger of.a fight, a.
Meade will take the back track at the
frat indication of an advance by Gensr.

1t will basesn by the "Late Northern
News" pn shed in this paper, that Ma
jor Gen. Y s. Rosecrans has been re-
army of thh Cumberland, and that char
ges of coodrdice and treaeAery have been
preferred against him. It is said that he
left the battle field several hours before
the battle vas over On Sunday, at Chick
amauga-soms accounts a~ttributing it to
an attack Of epilepsy, another to the
excessive use of opium, a third intimates
that, being a devout Catholic, he had re-
tired for evening prayers, believing that
he could do more by praying than fight
ing while . fourth asserts that he was
in Chattanooga asleep when Gen. Thomas
prevented the entire destruction of his
army. Heretofore Rosecrans has been
cracked up to be one of the greatest Gen
erals in the yankee army now he is
called a coD0rd and a traitor! He has
been ordered to Cincinnati to await a trl-
al, we suppose, on the charges preferred.
Sic transit gloria!
Rosecrans' successor is George FL.
Thomas, the renegade Virginian, who by
accident gained a little success at Chick
amauga, while Gen. u. S. Grant is to
have command of all the troops east of
the Mississippi. 1t is believed that he will
concentrate his own army with that of
Thomas, Burnside's and Hooker's, and
thus with the largest army ever muster
ed on this continent, will attempt to
crush Bragg, Longstreet and our host Of
veterans around Chattanooga. He will
fail, as Rosecrans did.
Besides Resecrans' renewal, Admiral
Dahlgreen has been dismissed from the
feet before Charleston, and Meade is to
meet a like fate if he fails in cutting off
the retreat of Gen. Lee.
By all these movements it is very evi :
dent that Gen. Confusion is q protninent
actor in the Yankee army at tbs time.
Mr.. j j. Setlif, of Surry, toswhon we
are indebted for former ~favors, sends lis

LOngstreet Expects to Fight near Jones5oyo,
Tenn, and l1l6oaeA at StaHHton, Va Lee
Going to the Rescue in Georgia. Flour
$500 per Barrel, &C., &c.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.- Richmond pa
pers OF the 20th have dispatches from Bristol,
Tenn, stating that Longstreet, with his army,
was advancing. No doubt severe battle
would be fought in the vicinity of Jonesboro,
Tenn. Relntorcements from Col. Jackson's
and Gen. Sam Jones' command were going 10
Longstreet.
A dispatch from MERIDIAN, Miss, reports
that Joe Jobnstun's army is in motion, and it
is conjectured that lie intends to reinforce
Gen. Hardee.
1t is also rumored that Gen. Lee will be
semi to take command in the northwest Geor-
gia, as the only hope of retrieving the heavy
disasters to the rebels in that quarter. His
army in Virginia has gone into winter quar-
tiers, except one division unde Gen. Early.
Some excitement existed in the vicinity of
Staunton, Va, in consequence OF the near
APP roach OF Gen. AVerII's command. Imbo-
den and Choirs were endeavoring to oppose
Averill'S further advance, and fight is ex-
pected in that quarter.
In the reoel congress the substitute bill has
been abrogated, and all persons who have put
substitutes in the army are now compelled to
go themselves.
Foote still continues his severe denuncia-
tons OF the rebel administration. 1t is ru-
mored that commissioners will be sent to the
court of Madrid in behalf of the rebel govern
ment.
Flour has gone up to 5000 barrel, and is
rising
1t is stated in the Inquirer that JEFF. Davis
will soon make Il decided change in the whole
government, and also in the army.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-lnformation re-
ceiyed tonight from the army Of the Potomac
says there are no indications Of Il retrogade
movement toward Washington, as reported;
nor is it believed that the enemyin their pres
ent condition are able to give us much annoy
ance. Their cavalry, diminished consdera-
bly, on our front, are not equal to the task of
making any formidable raid on our base OF
supplies, owing ID the impoverished condition
OF their horses. The inSutiicicncy Of shoes
and blankets, if the stories of deserters can
be relied upon, renders it equally improbable
that Lees infantry can be called from their
strong position and comfortable shelters to
undertake campaign during the rigors OF
winter.
The probable number of re-cnlistments into
the veteran corps from the army Of the Poto-
mac is estimated at 10000. The delay in in
dicating the precise date of the thirty days
turlough has caused many to reconsider their
first intentions. The desire to visit their
homes during the holidays has proved more
powerful than the liberal hounties offered for
re-enlisting. Five, and perhaps six compa.
mes of the 93d New York regiment has re-
enlisted, and are expected to start homeward
on Wednesday. This regiment has for n long
tme filled the responsible post Of headquar-
tiers Of provost guard during their service.
They have seized and turned over to the au-
I thomtes at Washington over 10000 prison
ers. The Oneida (N.Y.) cavalry and the LIST
Maryland cavalry are also likely to re-enlist.
The charges against Maj. Gen. Humphries,
chief OF Maj, Gen. Meade's staff, cause con-
siderable comment among his brother Off
cels; but, SO far as can be ascertaiued from
an extensive intercourse with the army, these
charges are almost unanimously denounced
as merely the enanationS Of revengetul spirit
! caused by just punishment Of violation of
military rules. The charges are 50 foreign to
what is known of Gen. Humphries by his
associates Of many years standing that they
are unanimous in recommending him TO take
no steps regarding them, as the confirmation
OF Gen. liumphries appointment, made since
the charges were uttered, is now pending in
the senate, the inference generally is that
they have been reproduced to obtain his re-
lection.
hundreds of suffers, to-day, under the new
orders, have crowded the adjutant generals
office to obtain permits and transportation for
the much needed supplies. The order gives
universal satisfaction.

Can't Leave New York without a Pass
port

New YORK, Dec. 22.-The government has
decided that the safety OF American vessels
leaving this port requires that no person shall
be allowed to leave this port as a passenger
or otherwise, on any American vessel, without
first receiving passport from the marshal of
this district.
1t is understood that a gunboat has already
been stationed at Sandy Hook by Admiral
Spaulding to intercept every vessel leaving
the port by that outlet, and another vessel at
Ihrogg's neck to examine vessels leaving the
port by way of the sound, with instructions
to detain all such persons as are without pass
ports.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT IN LEoMINsrER.-From
our correspondent aud from exchanges, we have
some further particulars of his fatal railroad acct
dent.
The engine had been used to take freight train
up to Groton Janction, and proceeding up to
fitchburg, with two empty cars attached. The
cause of the accident is unknown. The engine was
new first class built at Taunton, and had been
used but five or six months.
The engineer and fireman almost instantly
killed, but George Searle, the brakeman is expected
to recover. The body Of the engineer thrown
several rods over an embankment and his watch
and wallet were found upon the ground.
The engine was very badly damaged, it not en-
tirey destroyed. 1t is singular that while the en-
CINE was thrown from the track and rolled over,
and the also thrown OFF, the tender remained
on the track, and proceeded half a mile before it
stopped.
A coroner's inquest was to be held in FitchburK
yesterday afternoon We have not yet learned the
verdict.
