NEW YOHK, Nov. 10.
The steamer Arago, from Port Royal and
Charleston bar the evening Of the 18th, has
arrived. No news.
A special to the World, dated Washing
ton, 18Th, says Information recently 1e-
eeived here states n courier was captured
near Chattanooga, bsaring dispatches from
General Bragg to General Longstreet, or
dering the latter to evacuate Lookout
Mountain. This position is so important
that such an order created much surprise
here, and many regard it rs mere ruse
on the part of the enemy as from the fact
that they fired several shots from that po-
sition OF the following morning. 1t i5 in
ferred the order has not been repeated, or
such movement had never been really
intended. ..-
A Nashville correspondence TO the World,
dated Iitb, says since the partial occupa-
fiou of Lookout Mountain by Union forces
! under General Hooker, operations in front
have been confined to strengthening the
ground gained, and to preparations Tor
further occupation.
Active campaigning may be considered
over for the present, and the two armies
will probably occupy the time in fanklng
and reconnoitering.
The great danger which threatened th'
/ Army Of the Cumberland from starvation

Mexican advioes state that the Comman

WAsHIEGToS, Nov. To-
From the front We hear the enemy pre-
sent very strong front on the bank Of the
Rapidau, and has RECOMMENDED picket
shootiug. Yesterday q detachment OF the
Ist Vermont Cavalry we're fred on while
poing out on picket, and all along between
Summerville and Germania fords, our men
on picket find it necessary to keep undeT
cover or else be made targets Of.
The water Of the Rspidan is very 10"
and the river is fOrdsble at many points
This makes the work of guarding 1t very
arduous. It would not be surprising If the
enemy some dark night, should make
dash across the river, and create diver
sion and incidentally go5ble uP some care
less command. But few parties Of rebels
are now on the left bank of the Rapidan.
A smsllparty were driven across yester-
day by an inferior force. When our men
reached the bank, both infantry and erul-
| IerY were exposed on the opposite SIDE, TO
resist what they thought reconnaissance
in force, or q movement to cross, but no
heavy guns opened on either side, and
there was but little carbine firing. The
enemy also resumed work with the spade.
They are not satisfied with the defences
! thrown up last September, but are diggihg
riAe-pits and throwing up earthwerksI
and constructing cuItsins for every eK'
posed point.

disagreements and discords in councils OF
their western army.
The Enquirer Of the 10th says: Meade
has inAicted a terrible blow on Lee and in
Western Virginia. The disaster to Echols'

has landed large force at Winton and

at Weldon, on the Peninsula. The enemy

Of G robust frame, and was weak and

The expedition landed safely On the
Texas shore Of the Rio Grande, after los

bcars crew and seven soldiers, however,
were drowned while disembaFking.
The rebels evacuated Fort Brown, set
ting FIRE TO the works there.
Brownsville was also set fire to by few
rebel cavalry, but the Union men turned
out to extinguish it, when the rebel caval-
rv were joined by the Secessionists Of the
town, and terrible street fight was going
on, the houses burning around them. The
I4ih Maine regiment was Immediately Or
dered to march on the place.
A Maine regiment was the first to land
on the Texas shore. An Iowa regiment
was almost immedirtely after them, their
regimental flags being hoisted almost 81
multaneOusly.
