There has been a fresh disposition of our
forces for strategetical purposes, but other,
wise everything was quiet.
There is very little skirmishing with the
rebels south of Culpepper, and according to
all accounts, it is by no mesns certain that
all the rebel army is across the Rapidan
as reported.
Gen. Buford made reconnaissance yester-
day towards Rexierville, and came upon a
portion of rebel General Willcox's division
and after sharp skirmish, be compelled
them to fall back, but darkness prevented
pursuit.
Our troops do not occupy Fredericksburg
nor Falmouth, Kilpatricks cavalry having
visited there one day before onr advance.
If the rebels maintain their position be-
tween Culpepper and the Rapidan it is pro-
bable battle may yet be fought. This is
Lees battle ground according to his official
report of our advance few weeks since.

that all his forces will yet cross the Rapi-
dan, Notwithstanding their partial hinder
ance on this side.
