Cox will go into winter quarter ina very few days.-Our advance is at Summerville, Nicholas county. The rebels are in some force at Lewisburg, in the adjoin- ing county of Greenbricr, but would probably abandon that pointif an advance were made upon them. The report that Cox will push on to Staunton is hardly credible. He has neither the force nor the transportation for such an enterprise, and it is too lute in the season te at- temptit. The most we can reasonably expect in Western Virginia during the remainder of the campaign ewill the thorough expulsfon of the rebels, the punishment of the bushwackers, and the restoration of the authority of the Joyal Virginia Government in the counties wesi of the Alleghe nies.” .

Nov. 19.—We learn that the route we haye just passed over from Warren- ton to this place is now obstracted by rebels. This cannot amonnt te anything, for our com- munication will soon be open by Aquia Creek. K. Zook. of the 57th New York, is mi overnor of Falmouth, and his office , aineady being filled with servants with in- quiries and demands from their white masters, who are reluctant to show their faces. There appears to be no intention on the part | of the military authorities to cross the river a> present. There are doubtless good reasons for this. I have not been able to form any idea as | yet of tke value of Fredericksburg as a de- fensive position, either for the rebele orour- selves. It is said that they do not intesd to muke any serious resistapee there, though the ua‘ns from Richmond are running incessantly, bringing up troops and ewan 5 away stores; why they should do the latter, if intend t make «stand, I do not see, and Ss, umore than anything else, confirms me in the idea that they do not intend to fight us here. The rebel force at Fredericksburg cannot be very large. I hear that five Mississippi regi- ments arrived yesterday. We can also se® com- «rable cavalry. It would be easy to cross and drive this force out of the town, and you may wonder why this is not done; but it hes just commenced to rain, and if the storm con- tinues the Rappahannock will rise rap- idly. Suppose a part of our force crores and be attacked by superior numbers before they could be reinforced, we might find our- selves ia an unpleasant dilemma.
