News via Washington.


NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The Washing
tor correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, writing yesterday says !. reports
were very prevalent last night of fighting
between Meade and Lee, but they have
received no confirmation up to the present
hour.
1t is now positively asserted by those
who have the best means of knowing that
Meade has imperative orders to bring on
a battle, and in the event of failure to
do so he will be certainly superseded.
The orders are said to have come from
Halleck, and further that they are backed
by the President. Up to yesterday. how
ever it is known there were 40 prepara-
tions for forward movement on the part
of Meade, but on the contrary, he seemed
inclined toward the maintenance of a de-
fensive position.
The rebel force along the Rappahan-
mock had been considerably reduced, and
any offensive designs on their part were
not visible
The same correspondent writes thatit
is understood here that orders to Gen
Gilmore and Dahlgrsn are to continue
the bombardment of Sumter till not &
vestige of it remains, and with the srtil
lery now employed against the fort it;
total destruction is believed to be Ger
tain.
