Rebel News.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Late rebel papers
are received. The Richmond Examiner of
18th says, their army was quietly awaiting
an attack from Meade, and it was thought
he would make flank movement towards
fredericksburg.
The Examiner of the 9th foreshadows an
other retreat OF Bragg, and speaks of disa-
their western army.
The Enquirer of the 10th says Meade has
inflicted a terrible blow OH Lees army, and
in Western Virginia the disaster to EchoIs
command shows that the enemy are active.
and apprehensions are felt for the safety OF
the railroads in North Carolina. The enc
my has landed large force at Winton and
Weldon, on the peninsula. The enemy
are reported landing in large numbers at
Newport News. -.4
The Richmond Examiner after giving q
statement of the capture of two Of these
brigades, says it is believed Lee expected
Mead to advance, but was not prepared for
so early and vigorous an attack. It now
appears that Meade can advance as quickly
as he retreats.
The Enqnirer demands the dismissal
from their army of the Brigadiers who COM
manded the captured brigades, for disgrace
full neglect.
The Enquirer of the 10th says there is no
material change at Charleston. The Yam
KEGS keep up constant fire day and night,
but with little damage, and confidence is
as strong in Charleston as ever.
A Charleston correspondent says, should
the Yankees try the strength of our land
forces, they would get the worst repulse
any army ever received.
A correspondent writing to the Atlanta
Intetligencer from Missouri, says that, our
extreme right now occupies London, which
gives command of the Tennessee river at
that point, bringing our forces within twen-
ty-three miles of Knoxville: Important
movements are expected in that direction.
The enemy evacuated the Notifications at
London at our appearance.
The Examiner states that five pieces OF
cannon are now placed in position, bearing
on the prisoners at Belle Island and on any
demonstration to overpower the guard, by
their numbers, fire will be opened u pom
them.

Enquirer of the 18th says that reinforce

treating troops of Gen. Echols near Sweet
Springs, in Monroe county, Va, some 40
point on the Virginia and Tennessee rail-
road, and checked the further advance of
Gen. Averill's Yankees. More fighting
was expected before the latter would relin-
quish their design of destroying the rail-
road.
The same paper says that passengers by
the Fredericksburg train report that part
of the Yankee army had arrived at Louisa,
II miles from Fredericksburg, and that
Meade is rapidly advancing towards that

bly, take place.
