Nothing further was learned until the arrival of the train late in the afternoon, which brought down a confirmation of the dispatch, and the additional statement that they had stolen their dead from the field under cover of the night. No better evidence need be desired of the completeness of the victory on Saturday than this sudden and unexpected withdrawal of Burnside from the south side of the Rappahannock. It is a frank admission of a defeat and, whatever his future movements may be, this "change of base." will be regarded as a confession of the inability of his own forces to meet successfully those of the Confederacy. A gentleman who came down on the cars last night says that great disappointment was felt among our troops when they learned that the enemy had withdrawn without a second time offering battle. The general desire among the men was t

Our victory of Saturday must have been a tremendous one? It seems to have sickened him thoroughly. He has changed his base. The Yankee can change his base, but he cannot change his base nature. What now becomes of the comparison made e expect to learn that they have taken advantage of the opportunity before the operations of Gen. Burnside are fully developed to retreat ere retreat is rendered perilous or impossible." It seems, however, that the retreating has been done, not by the rebels, but by the Yankees.

There is a considerable difference, however, we venture to suggest. The first crossing, in May, wa cases was there much real opposition, or many men killed, whereas Burnside suffered severely in the passage. Again, it was May and July whenred severely in the passage.
