Richmond papers Of April 10Th, just re-

The Times Washington dispatch says -
All is quiet at the front to-day heavy re-
connoissance into the valley develope the fact
that no considerable body Of rebels is this

that Lee will not veHture an offensive move
ment. A report prevails that Lee is moving
! his heavy artillery to Richmond. The re-
ported advance OF the rebels toward Warren
ton was caused by the falling back OF Gen

military purposes. There is no foundation
for the rumor that Lougstreet is at Thor
