The Rappahannock lines. The Central cars came through without interruption yesterday, and we could hear nothing to confirm the report, so industriously circulated on Sunday, that the Yankees were threatening another demonstration upon the road. Passengers bring a report that a skirmish took place on Saturday not far from Gordonsville, and that the enemy hastily retired after a brief show of resistance.

Taking a fresh held. Simultaneously with the return of Lincoln from his late visit to McClellan's camp, appears an order making Gen. Halleck Chief in Command of the Armies of the United States. This is the third change which the Yankees have made in their Commander in Chief since the beginning of the war. First, it was Old Scott, "the first Captain of the age;" then came George R. McClellan, the "Young Napoleon;" and now it is Halleck, who has hitherto received no special designation, exGeorge R. McClellan, the "Young Napoleon;" and now it is Halleck, who has hitherto received no special designation, except that conferred upon him by a New York correspondent of the London Times, "Major General of the Liars," and which he soon after illustrated by asserting that Beauregard, who outgeneraled him in such an astonishing way at Corinth, had lost fifteen thousand stand of arms and twenty thousand in killed, wounded, and prisoners !

Brownlow writes to Washington that he fears Kentucky will soon be occupied by the rebels. A Washington dispatch, dated July 20th, to the Chicago Tribune, says that McClellan is greatly dissatisfied at Halleck being put over him. No good feeling exists between him and Pope.
