Advices from the front represent that Meade is advancing his picket lines on our front to within sight of the Rapidan river, and also that he is moving a force on our left flank, in the direction of Madison C. H. It is now affirmed, the railroad and the bridge being completed, that the bulk of the Yankee army is being transferred from Fauquier to Culpeper, preparatory, perhaps, to the forward move which the New York World tells us that Meade has been ordered by Lincoln to make contrary to his own judgment.
His Excellency President Davis and staff returned to Richmond via the Tuesday morning Central train, after spending two whole days and parts of two other days with Gen. Lee.
During his stay nearly all of the principal officers of the army called upon "Uncle Jeff," and "Marse Robert," to pay their respects.
