There has been no battle, and the exact i>osition of
Lee's army is unascertained, or at least is not known in
this city. It appears certaiu, however, that Lee has not
crossed the Potomac.
The information received to-night is to the effect t hat
reports came in from our cavalry yesterday evening that
the enemy had massed a force at Manassas.
There were vague reports that the enemy was straitened
tor supplies, and, having signally failed to secure
them from Gen. Meade, Iias again turned his attention
and face toward the Lower Shenandoah Valley, and to
our posts on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Trusty j
parties have been sent out to ascertain the truth of j
these reports.
Rebel Infantry pickets made their appearance last
night in the vicinity of Chantilly, which indicates the
presence of a heavy rebel force in that vicinity. But j
Gen. Sedgwick drove them back to Frying Ban from
his front.

reconnoissance went ont as far as one mile from Bristoo
?mrt found nothing bat a few rebel cavalry scouts.
Rumors Antinttod to muMpfy to the effect that a rebel
column was moving toward Point of Bocks or Harper's
Ferry. But after careful iLqniry by private parties, no
information has been obtained to confirm those reports.
The following was to-day received at the headquarters
of the army in this city:
Ci.ABksitrp.on, Saturday, Oct. IT.
Gen. Sullivan reports that his cavalry scout from
Martinsburgh yesterday encountered a detatchment of

Washington, Oct IS 1S63.
Washington has been filled with rumors and excitements
throughout the day.
Belief in the progress of a great battle within eighteen
miles of the city was very general, but no engagement
has taken place. ^
Th.. rphel tniprillas are nrosccntinir an active cam

Chattanooga, Oct. 2,lStw. j
Amy of the CtMiiKKi.AM)?\ ou have made a grand
and successful campaign ; yon have driven the rebels
from.Middle Tennessee. You crossed a great mountain
rang?, placed yourselves on tho banks of a broad river, 1
crossed it in the face of a powerful opposing army, and i
crossed two other great mountain ranges at the only
practicable passes, some forty miles between extremes.
You concentrated in the face of superior numbers;
fougkt the combined armies of Bragg, which you drove
from Nhelbyville to Tullahoma, of Johnston's army from
Mississippi, and the tried veterans of Longsireet's corps,
and br two day? held them at bay, giving them blow
for bow, with "heavy interest. When the day dosed. ;
you held the field, from which you withdrew in the face ;
of overpowering numbers, to occupy the point for which
you iet out, Chattanooga.
Ycu have accomplished the great work of the carapaiga;
you hold the key of East Tennessee, of Northern
Geoigia, and ot the enemy's mines of coal and nitre.
Let these achievements console you for the regret you
expeience that arrivals of fresh hostile troops forbade .
your remaining on the tlekl to renew the battle; for the
right of burying your gallant dead, and caring for your
brave companions who lay wounded on the field. The !
lost* yon have sustained, though heavy, are slight con- j
sidetiug the odds agahi9t you, and the stake you have
won.
Yon hold in your hands the substantial fruits of a victory,
and deserve, and will receive, the honors and
plaudits of a graceful nation, which asks nothing of even
those who ha :e been fighting us, but obedience to the
constitution and laws established ror onr own common
benefit
The General commanding earnestly begs every officer
and soldier of this army to unite witn bim In thanking
Almighty God for His favors to ns. He presents his
hearty thanks and congratulations to al\ the^officers _nd
apldiers Of this command for their energy, parenCe and
perseverance, and the nndntinted courage displayed by
those who fought with such unflinching resolution.
Neither the history of this war, nor probably theannals
of any battle, fnmlsh a loftier example of obstinate bravery
and enduring resistance to superior numbers-when
troops, having exhausted their ammunition, resorted to
the bayonet, many times, to hold their positions against
such odds?as did our left and centre, comprising troops
from all corps, on the afternoon of the 30th of 8ei*ember,
at the battle of "Chickamauga."
