On Saturday last the War Department was advised that, with a heavy force of cavalry and mounted infantry, he was advancing on Lewisburg, with the supposed intention of pushing his way to the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad with a view of intercepting railroad communication with Gen. Longstreet, and yesterday we had a rumor that he was approaching Staunton by way of McDowell. This latter report, we are inclined to believe, is without foundation, as the passengers by the Central train last night state that le excitement existed at Staunton yesterday morning. It is probable that the information received at the War Department more nearly approaches the whereabouts of Averill and his commands and he may are this have reached Lewisburg.
