'Th,. news frot ti' line of the Rappahan t)ck;, tot:hiIIb nut. inl ani :id comtuplete as we rould t.ire, is tevertheless interesting and important.

The portion of the Yanke" army under Pope n as at Warrenton on 1\ elnesday, and it is stated that its retreat in the dircction of Alexa:n-ria is entirely intereept:d. The only route iy which he euoul' reach that point is by way of the .f unetion, which is now in pas sesion of our forces. It is row prubabie that' he will succeed in forcing his way back to the Potomac by taking that route. If this statement be correct-and wehave no reason to question its authenticity-the oly road for his escape would scent to be by way of the Plains ti Middleburg. and from thence tat Leesburg in Loudoun county. Burnside with his army curls, was at Fred ericksbur; yesterday, and was reinforced by two divisions of the army lately under Mc Clellan but will never reach Pope. We have no intelligence of any heavy fight. ing, and it is somewbat surprising that our troops have met with so few obstructiois in their advance. In govermtnetit circles there scens to be not the slightest apprehension for the safety of our army. Indeed, we have reason to believe that the most lively Lopes are entertained of a triumph which will eclipse any that has been voichsafed to ur atuil3s sine tle war CommIenced.

T[he division commlantded by' Gen. Longstreet was pushing for a point which it was known the enemy desired to reach and occupy. As thme column was pressing forward, a courier, pretending to have orders from Gen. Lee, halted each brigade until he reached the lust, when Lotng street, observing the movement, desired to know what it imeant. He was told that Gen. Le~e had ordered the halt, and upon demand ingl to know the authority for the order from Gen. Lee, was pointed to the courier, who had not had time to make his escape. The man wa-s immediately arrested by Longstreet, who frustrated his designs. Hie was examin ed and condemned on the spot. Forged or- - ders to both Jacckson and Hill were found on his person, those for Longsttreet hiavinig been delivered, and he acknowledged that he had been acting as a Confederate scout for eleven months, and all that time was a traitor and a spy. He was then condemned and executed in about fifteen minutes.
