TO TIE FREEMAN,

NV YoRK, Nov. l4.-The Tr,bune's Army of
the Potomac dispatch says, reconnaissance was
made by the enemy yesterday in the vicinity of
Stevensburg, which is occupied by Gen. Kilpat-
rick's Cavalry. Not more than dozen shells
were thrown on either side, and on the advance
of our men the enemy retired. No one was in
jured on our side. As the rebels had advan-
ced from the direction of Pony Mountain,
my informant, Lit. Colonel, who was present,
believes the report that Gen. Fitzpatrick has ia
ken Pony Mountain to be incorrect. The rail-
road will be in running order to Culpepper on
the 18Th. The weather for two days has been
delightful and the roads are in excellent condi-
ton.

are made here tonight, that Gen. Meade will go

necessary to keep under cover, or be made tar

The Herald Washington dispatch says very
importan' dispatches from the rebel diplomatic

afording to them any greater aid and comfort
than the English Government is disposed to
give them.
