FROM GEN. LEES ARBY-DLE RUN0Rs
We have received nothing reliable, in add
lion 70 what hiss already been published, with
I references 20 the mO0smants Of our forces In

ton Yesterday evening, and from the lower val
ley, Know very little Of what is transpiTing north

pertancs Of the movements by TIE immense and
valuable captures which are dsily bsisg sent
South.
During tho day yesterday an idle runner OBJ
tanned currency that the President OF Secretary
Of War had received a telegram from Petersburg.
