Our latest advices leave no doubt of the fact that the young
Napoleon of the
Federal army has again ‘"changed his base,"’ and is now prepared with his grand army to co- operate with the forces of
Pope along the line of the
Rappahannock.
The reports that have been industriously circulated that he was evacuating the
Peninsula, are at length confirmed, and there seems to be no longer any doubt that he has swung round to
Fredericksburg to act in conjunction with the
Federal forces in that locality for the defence of
Washington.
Intelligence from
Fredericksburg states that he arrived there on Friday, whether to assume command of the enemy's forces, or to play second to his rival
Pope, is not known.
