The crossing of the Rapidan was effected with- out opposition on Tuesday and Wednesday at Culpeper, Jacobs’s, Germania and Ely’s Fords. No rebels were seen, except a few pickets, who retired as we advanced. If Lee makea stand this side of Richmond, it is pos- sible he may be met near the old battle-ground of Chancehorsyille, but it is the general im- pression that he has fallen back from his po- sition on the Rapidan to Richmond, in order to protect that city from the formidable forcenow marching upon it from the rear, and whichisas likely to strike on one side of the James river Culpeper is being strongly fortified, and will be ured as a depot for stores. Itis reported here to-day thata strong column of troops under Generals Couch and Sigel. are marching from Winchester up the Shenandoah Valley as & co-operating column, destined eventually to cut the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, while Butler’s force, or a part of it, strikes the other railroad at or near Petersburg, thus severing all railroad communications be- tween Richmond and the South.
