ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, writing yesterday, says: Reports
were prevalent last night of lighting be-

ceived 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 a failure to do
so he will certainly be superseded. The
orders are said to have come from Hal
