artillery. A brisk skirnish ensued for
several hours, our army falling back to
near Germanton on our infantry line. The
enemy showed only infantry. Guerrillas
and bushwhackers are exceedingly bold,
daily making demonstrations on our line
of communications. 1t is unsafe for our
men to venture outside of camp. On Sum
day, bushwhackers attacked our train be-
tween New Baltimore and Warrenton,
capturing ambulance and wagon train of
the Provost Marshal. The smoke of the
enemy's camp fires is seen beyond the
Rappahannock, indicating that the rebels
are in force, prepared to dispute passage
of the Rappahannock. The rebel pickets
are on this side of the river, in sight ofour
pickets.
Nothing indicates an immediate adj
vance. Railroad work is being prosecu-
ted vigorously-the advance of our army
being dependent on its completion.
Meade's headquarters are at Warrenton.

the 9th says: Persons from the army to-
night report that column of rebel infan-

ported in army circles that our cavalry
were soundly whipped; also that the
rebels were in force at Stafford. Heavy
rapid firing was heard at Bristol to-day,
too long for practice firing.

authority asserts that Meade's removal is
decided upon as soon as Government can
find a proper successor. Our army is
changing its base for strategic purposes.
