presence a matter of secondary importance. He cannot hope now to sweep through some of the passes of the Blue Ridge into the rear of the army, and destroy or capture its trains, inasmuch as its base of supplies will be from Aquia Creek and not from Washington, and to reach the former point he would have to traverse the whole country in front of Washington for the distance of a hundred miles. The opinion now is, that if Jackson is in the Valley with any such force as represented, that Gen. Lee, as soon as he learns of Burnside's movements, will recall him, and with his whole force fall back to Richmond. There were no, rebel forces in this vicinity, and quiet possession has been taken by our engineer corps, under the protection of a gunboat. Already the Nelly Baker, an old Peninsula acquaintance, is on the line from Washington to the Creek. Capture of rebel Prizes.

ol. Tom. Marshall, her brother is brother, who owned a large estate adjoining at the south of hers, a few months since started for South Carolina. Before leaving home he gave up the old farm and all the stock on the place to the servants — some thirty in number — on condition that they would stay and provide for two old negro women, one of whom nursed him in his infancy. The slaves, thus far, have remained faithful to their trust — alike creditable to their fidelity and to his humanity. Afraid to honor the young Napoleon. The Philadelphia Inquirer, of the 15th, has the following significant paragraph: The proposed excursion by the recruiting Serg'ts and privates (recruiting for the old regiments in this city) to Trenton, has been postponed indefinitely. It was thought that if the honor was shown to Gen. McClellan it would seem like opposition towards the Government. Col. Ruff deemed it expedient to refuse his consent. The project has therefore been abandone

he route. Taking Fredericksburg as the starting point, from whence the army can be supplied by water transportation, the distance to Richmond is sixty miles. Fifteen miles of railroad connects Fredericksburg with the Potomac at Aquia. This gives an additional base of supply. Gordonsville, at which the rebel army is supposed to be massed, is seventy-three miles from Richmond. The Virginia Central Railroad, from Gordonsville, and the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad, form a junction at Saxton's, which is thirty-five miles from Fredericksburg and forty-six from Gordonsville. The army building this junction effectually controls the railroad communication from the north with Richmond, though there is still a round-about railroad connection between Richmond and Gordonsville. Supposing the rebels to be determined to resist the approach of our army anywhere this side of Richmond, this junction would be the point aimed at by both, and most probably the scene of the first battle in

Boyle, who is in command at Louisville, received the following dispatch: "Col. Foster has routed the guerrillas near Madisonville. Ky., killing twenty-five and taking sixty prisoners, including four commissioned officers, seventy-five horses, and a large number of arms and other property. Foster is still after them." ThFoster is still after them." The second draft in Connecticut has been indefinitely postponed. It was to have taken place on the 19th inst. On Saturday last there were 9,875 men in the various camps in Massachusetts awaiting marching orders. Eighty-one of the Ozaukee (Wisconsin) rioters, who made forcible resistance to the execution of the draft, have arrived at Milwaukee, looking decidedly dejected and crest-fallen.

ications of success in its favor, and without indulging in extravagant expectations, such as the taking of Richmond in ten days, as a Washington contemporary predicts, we yet look forward to the coming campaign with the most confident anticipations. The expeditions of Gen. Milroy to Huntersville, Monterey, Franklin, and through the counties of Pocahontas, Bath, Highland, and Pendleton, Western Virginia, have been entirely successful. He captured Major Wm. Harness, Capt. Evans, Capt. Boggs, the notorious Camp, and about forty-five prisoners; also, about twenty-five horses and seventy head of beef cattle. The region is now clear of rebels. The small pox is reported to be raging at Staunton and in the surrounding country. An enthusiastic Union demonstration took place in Memphis on the 9th of November.

Sickness continues in the French fleet, and several vessels had been wrecked in the late gales, including a French man-of-war and the American barks Sheridan, Justice Story, and schooner Mary and Emma. Several lives were lost. Almonte is no longer protected by the French., and will leave the country. A grand ball was given at the Governor's palace at Havana on the 9th. It was attended by Admiral Wilkes, Consul Shufeldt, and others. The gunboat Wachusett left Havana on the morning of the 12th, and the Santiago arrived. The steamer Kensington, at Key West, reports the capture of a rebel steamer. The Edward Hawkins, from Havana for Rebeldom, with arms, ammunition, medicines, &c., had also been captured. Seven small vessels with cotton have arrived at Havana recently. Important naval preparations — Probability of an attack upon Charleston. Washington, Nov. 18. --It

ss of route. Against this, however, the rebels have the advantage of having their line of retreat fully prepared, with no bridges to build or railroad to reconstruct. We will probably have to construct Pontone bridges across the Rappahannock, but with the engineering facilities at Gen. Burnside's command this work ought to be completed by this time. Between Fredericksburg and the Junction there are no considerable streams. Beyond it, towards Richmond, the route crosses the North and South Anna rivers, affluents of the Pamunkey, but neither of these would long delay the progress of the army. We can hardly, however, except under the most favorable circumstances, expect Gen. Burnside to reach the Junction before the rebels, and if they contest the possession of that point the fate of Richmond may be settled there. The route from Fredericksburg to Richmond crosses the Rappahannock Valley and lies through a rich, level, agricultural country. The railroad, probably, has been or will b

William Bigler has written a letter declining to become a candidate for the United States Senatorship from Pennsylvania, and proposing a plan for the adjustment of the national troubles. The following important decision has been elicited by the gentleman to whom it is addressed: War Department, Washington, D. C., Nov. 1, 1862. Hon. Silas Livermore, Guthrieville, Pa.:Sir: --In reply to yours of the 27th ult., desiring to be informed on certain question appertaining to the draft, the Secretary of War directs me to say that, when a drafted man furnishes a substitute that is accepted, the two change places. The principal is liable to another draft, if made, just as he would be if he had not been drafted at first, and the substitute is bound by the first draft of the principal just as if he had been drafted

ld be fit and proper that this treasonable city should be destroyed. The preparations for attack are so perfect that there can be no doubt whatever that one or more iron-clads will succeed in approaching the town, at least within shelling distance. Fears have been expressed that the Navy Department would turn aside from its plans of attack upon the rebel ports because of the alarming reports from England in reference to the rebel iron clad fleet said to be constructing there; but Mr. Welles will not delay for a single day any of his projected naval attacks upon rebel towns because of any foreign news recently received. The loyal Atlantic cities will be abundantly defended, but none of the iron-clads destined for Charleston or Mobile, or any other rebel city, will be detained. The work of preparation has been show, such are its gigantic proportions; but it is believed by our naval authorities here that the results will abundantly justify the means, and will compensate fo

ver on Tuesday, and there are none but new troops in Charleston. Gen. Carter's brigade is encamped below the Elk, on Col. DeCourcey's brigade drill field. Gen. Ashby's home--Justice Marshalls former residence. A letter in the New York Times, from its army correspondent, gives the following description of these two placesis an insignificant little village of a couple of score of houses, there is nothing of interest to note. Passing through the town, however, I was reminded that Gen. Ashby, the gallant Confederate cavalry officer killed the past summer, had resided here. Ashby's house stood but some fifty yards from the road. I rode up to it — auined him, and who, finding the house vacant, took possession.--He informed me of a fact of which I was either never aware, or which I had forgotten — namely, that Ashby had been the local agent at Markham of the Manassas Gap Railroad, and had resided alone in the little house.
