tion, which is now in possession of our forces. It is not probable that he will succeed in forcing his way back to the Potomac by taking that route. If this statement be correct — and we have no reason to question its authenticity — the only road for his escape would seem to be by way of the Plains to Middleburg, and from thence to Leesburg, in Loudoun county. Burnside, with his army corps, was at Fredericksburg yesterday, and was reinforced by two divisions of the army lately under McClellan, but will never reach Pope. We have no intelligence of any heavy fighting, and it is somewhat surprising that our troops have met with so few obstructions in their advance. In Government circles there seems to be not the slightest apprehension for the safety of our army. Indeed, we have reason to believe that the most lively hopes are entertained of a triumph which will eclipse any that has been vouchsafed to our arms since the war commenced. The intelligence that the enemy has bee

From the Rappahannock — Occupation of Manassas Junction by our advance. The news from the line of the Rappahannock, though not so full and complete as we could desire, is nevertheless interesting and important. It is understood as perfectly reliable that the advance of our forces have reached Manassas Junction, where they captured some eight or ten heavy guns and an immense quantity of valuable stores.

Roach (search for this): article 1
Post-Office Robbery. --A. B. Martin, a private in the Washington Artillery, was yesterday arrested by Detective Roach, in his room at the Spotswood Hotel, charged with abstracting letters from the Post-Office in this city. At the time of his arrest he had in his possession about 120 letters, the larger portion of which had never been opened. In his pocket-book were two checks for $50 each, drawn by -- Thompson on some banking-house in Augusta, Ga. These, he stated, he found in the street. He had also a transportation ticket to Mobile and obtained a Provost Marshal's pass to leave the city on Wednesday. He was committed to Castle Thunder. His success in getting possession of so large a number of letters is attributable to his having access to the office through a familiar acquaintance with one of the clerks. This clerk, missing some letters, put the detective on the track of the robber.
