From Gen. Lee's Army.

All the information we have from Northern Virginia points to the concentration of the contending forces in the neighborhood of Fredericksburg, the enemy having evidently selected that route for the next "On to Richmond" demonstration.

We have a report, which is deemed reliable, that our pickets in the neighborhood of Stafford's Store were driven in by the enemy on Tuesday afternoon. Another report, not well authenticated, however, states that the Yankees, in force, have occupied Stafford Heights, nearly opposite Fredericksburg.--From present indications it is not improbable that the next trial of strength between the two armies will take place on the old battlefield of December last.
