were in considerable force south of Gull
pepper and this side the RaPidan.
IL now looks as if Lee was maneuyeriug
for some position for a battle which the

less the enemy suddenly crosses the RaPi-
dan with all his force, thus giving cOnfir-
nation of the previous belief of his weak.

Il will be reeollected that in Lees OH
cial report Of his former advance, he Sc
leeted the ground he now occupies TO attack
Meade; he therefore has an opportunity to
make good bis word.
Our army cannot advance very rapidly
owing TO the want of q railroad bridge at
the Rappahaunock. yet a few more days
will suffice to see IL change In the stu
