On that day our forces, which had been previously holding the line of the Rapidan river, on its north side, from above Cedar Mountain to its mouth, retired to Culpepper, after a sovore and gallant skirmish with the enemy on the south side of Robinson river, Up to that day it was observed that the ecomy had been massing their forces at Madison, and itwas thought that they moved northwards; and from that day till the 18th or 19th our army moved steadily in its retrograde course towards Washington, fol- lowed closely, tt was supposed, by the whole rebel army. But that was a mistake, At every point where our army halted and turned upon their pursuers, the lat- ter wore found to be in inferior force, and were easily vanquished. The battle at Bristoe Station is only one illustration of this fact. Had General Meade been allowed * to halt and mass his whole army on the heights of Con- treville on the 15th, and to remain there in line of battle on the 16th and 17th, as ho wished to do, the weakness of General {00's army would have been exposed. For in that admirable defensive position, equal in every re: tothat of tho Cemetery Hill at Gettysburg, tho rebets ‘would not have dared to attack him. The alleged attempt of General J.o0 to get-in General Meado’s rear by way of Chantity and Fairfax on the 16th, about which s0 much noise was made in the papers, wits only a stratagem, and & vory ‘‘woak Invention of the enemy’ at that, as Generul Meade ascertained by the proper military moans, Tho troops theu at Washington could easiy bave kept open the. communication between Cen- trevitie and the capital; but, under real apprehen- ons for the safoty’of the latter andentirely groundloss ones for tho safety of the Army of the Potomac, General-in-Chief and the War Department ordered General Meade, ov the 16th or 17th, to withdraw the army, not indeod within the immediate defences of Washington, but to a line that amounted ina military sense to the samo thing. And thus matters remained until the 19th. On that day and the 20th the reconnoissances sent out in all directions proved thatthe main body of the evemy ‘was not at Centreville, por at Munassas, nor at Aldie, nor at any point east of Ran Montains. Coionel Webster, ‘of this city (member of Congress), and his regiment, the Seventh Marviand, was captured by General Stuart's cavalry in Thoroughfare Gap on the 19th; on the 20th Geveral j.ee’s army was at Warrevton, and om the 21st Our troops in pursuit of the robel forces) entered that place ‘without opposition. The rebel forces, under General Lee, had crossed Hedgerman’s rivor (a branch of the Rappa- hanuock), at Sulpbur Springs, only a few hours before. Dut all these manoeuvres, extending from the 10th to the ‘20th ivst., had given General Lee teu days in which to execute the real movement alluded to abo ‘The mags of General [2e's army, assembled at Madi Previous to the 10th inst , did not move northwards from that place. As soon 23 tho Union army retired to Colpepper the bulk Of Gencral Lee's forces moved back rapidly to Orange Court Hovs», and {rom thence were transported by rail- road to Abingdon, im the southwestern part of Virgtuia, by way of Gordonsville and Lynchburg, in order to ope: rate, first, against Burnside, east of Knoxville, and, secondly, in conjunction with Genoral Bragg, against the Union forces at Chattanooga. ‘The number of troops thus sent away from General Lee’s army amounted, according to my information, to three divisions of ten thousand men ineach. They probably arrived at Abingdon abput the 15th or 18th inat., where they joined the fifteen thou- gand troops already there under General Jones. The whole force 0! forty-five thousand troops then probably advanced against Burnside’s,outposta at Bristol about the 20th iost., and the result Of that conflict we shall no doubt hoar in a few days. ‘Ihe loss of these threo divi- sions from bis Mirowdy depleted army reduced General Lee's forces to about fifty thovsand mon, and it was with this force that he compelled General Meade to retreat to Washinton. Liearn also tffht this movement of rebel troops from Virginia t+ tho Weat is made under the personal super vision of Jeff. Davis, avd that it includes every available soldior in Virginia that can be spared. In order to do this Richmond, of course, is eft comparatively defenceless. Indeed, it is stated that there aro no troops at alls at or pear Richmond, and ‘hat the force along the railroad be- tween that city and Wilmington bas boen reduced to ten thousand men. It is thereiore evident that the rebels have decided to hazard the whole event of the war upon the campnign now in progress at Chattanooga. But ta dou his they have left their capital undefended, and this affords na, therefuro, a splendid opportuuity to’ cap. turo Kichmond and end ‘the war; for when Richmond falis Charleston wik speedily follow.

(From the Richmond Whig, Oct. 27.) Rosecrans has been relieved from the command of the Army of the Cumberland, and Major General Uly: 8. Grant takes command of that department and of the Army of the Tennessee (Grant's old army), the Army of the Cumberland (Rosecrans’ late army) and the Arnty of Kentucky (Burnside’s). | Thomas, the reoerade Virginian once ultra secessionist, takes the immediate command tod by Rosecrans So much we learn from a Now York paper, which, on the strength of the announcement, bursts into the follow. ing hyperbole:—“It now remains to the great aud uncon- querable hero of the Mississippi valley—who has defeated more armies, reduced more strongholds and conquered mors territory than all our (Yankeo) other generals put together, or than any general since the days of Napoleon tho First~it remains for Mujor General Grant to over- come the rebels now intrenched among the mountaing of tho West, as he has already routed them through the length aud vreaath of the great river of the West.” ‘These are sounding sentences and not deficient in capi- tal jetters. Let us look a little into tne history of the new Ulysses. A regimental quartermaster in the old army, he was famous only for his love of strong drink. His first appearance in the present war was at Belmont, where, in conjunction with MeClernand, he surprised a Qeufeaerate camp and would haye grined a victory if reinforcements had not arrived and whipped him back to his boats. With the exception of McCiellan’s little fuccesses in Western Virgifia, this was the frst affair in which tne Yankees bad not been disgracofully beaten and routed. Grant was therefore promoted and placer in command of 30,000 or 100,000 men gathered in front. of Sydney Johnston at Bowling Green. The winter floods enabled the enemy to carry the inadequate de. fences near the months of the Cumberland and Ten- nessce rivers, to land men at pleasure below Fort Donel- gon and toattack it simultaneously by land and water. The garrison at this place was very small im comparison with the investing force, nnd the lines of fortification, in many places, weak. ‘A keroic defence was made. For three days the enemy was repulsed with fearful slaughter, bis losses in dead alone being ®early as large as or wholo garrison. Tbe place was not carried by as. sault, but cipitu'ated. Very many of the mea remon- strated against the surrender, and few now doubt that, by propor management, the whole of them could have cut their way out without serious resistance. In these two fights—at Belmont and Donelsen—the great Ulysses was Ip one instanee defeated positively, and in the next gained a victory: of which only a Yankeo would or could boast. The acquisition of territory was large, it is trus; ‘but this was due less to Grant’s gonors ip than to the imbecility of the Confederate authorities. Grant’s next appearance wasat Shiloh. In the Gust day’s fight he was surprised and shamefully beaten; on tho second day, Bue'l, who was Gravt's superior, and had arrived with heavy reinfe ents, took command, and to bim is duo the credit, as it is, of attacking dis- organized army, halt tbe size of his own, and of tailmg signally to male it do more than ah at leisure a part of the enormous spoils which it won the day be. fore.
