His force consisted of about | fifteen hundred cavalry and a section of battery. | He reports that no rebel troops were found this jmide of the Rappahannock, but he saw their ) pickets ali the way on the other side ef the river. He | sooured the country all around within @fy miles of Aquia | On this side the river. He represents that a very large | Maryland into Virgimia, and that our bieckade of the | Potomac ig perfict sham. He succeeded in capturing | tem men and quite a large amount of whiskey, tea, | sugar, shows, calico and other, contraband goods, but paroled the prisoners, not wishing to weaken his forces by detailing the requisite number of men te guard them. | He says that hundreds of theusands of dollars worth of these goods, so essential to the rebels, are being smuggied across the river every month. Visit of Gemeral Burnside te the Presi- dent and General Halleck. Wasmxerox, Nov. 29, 1962. Major Geteral Burnside arrived here last night, and Bpent this forenoon principally in consultation with Presi- dent Lincoln and, General Halleck. Me bas afready re. | turned to bis headquarters. It is supposed that Stonewall Jackson was to-day at Culpepper, designing to move directly theuee to Frede- riokeburg. General Burnside spent the day here.

Subsequently be vieited the va, ridae bureaus of the War and Navy departments, in whieh there wag business relating to the Army of the Potomac. ft is believed that his visit hus been one of great Importamee, end occasioned the holaing of a Cabinet Coune.1.

They were mot by General Burnside, and an important congultation wis hold in regard to the future operations of the army. Immedi ately afterwards the steamer returoed to Washington With its distinguished passengers. So quietly was this conducted that scarcely any one knew of the visit, either here or at Wagbington, except the parties themaelyos. There is no news of importance from the army in addition to what has been communicated to you by mai} and telegraph by the numerous corres. pondents of the Henao with the army. As railroad communication with the army has been re-established and the pontoons, whose nov-reception at the time pro mised has 60 seriously delayed the forwara movement of the army, have reached their destination, there cannot, I suppose, be much longer delay in resum!ng the onward march. It is true that the enemy have availed them selves of this delay to concentrate a large force on the south side of the Rappahannock, and that the crossing of the river seems likely now to prove rather a serious matter, ‘They manifest a disposition to contest the passage of the river, and there may be a heavy artillery fight before the crossing 1s effected. Gen. Burnside will, without doubt, make such dispozition of his forces as shall insure success in the movement whenever it i¢ attempted; and perhap it will be as well now that the grand defext of the rebel should be upon the banke and in the immediate vicinity of the Rappabannock Supplies of clothing and shoes are being landed here to- day and ferwarded to the army to make up any deficiency which may yet exist, and to render the troops as comfort able as possible under the circumstances, ~ ‘The One Hundred and Second Pennsylvania regiment, Lieut. Co). Kincaid commanding, are encamped here and doing guard duty. The genial and whole-souled philanthropist, Clement Barclay, Eeq., of Philadelphia, passed through here and went to Washington on the steamer Nellie Paker this after” noon. He has boen on a visit to the troops above here» and now returns to Washington on business connected with their welfare. He reports a deficiency of medica) supplies and comforts ‘or the sick, and a part of bie busi- ness to Washington is to make such representations as sball ingure a sufficiency of these to be forwarded without delay. The late severe weather has of conrse cansed considerable sickness in the army, which a prompt appti- cation of needed remedies and comforts will very much | relieve, and eave to the service many soldiers who must otherwise be sent away for treatment.
