From General Lee's army.[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Outpost Army Northern Va., November 2d, 1863. Meade still lingers in Fauquier, while Gen. Lee halts on the Rappahannock, and, Macawher like, is "waiting for something to turn up." Meade has disclosed to the world the startling fact that he can conduct a retreat better than he can an advance. The little fame he won at Gettysburg is like foliage of the forest in autumn, descending rapidly to rise no more. He soon n repairing it for ten days or more, and make but little progress in its reconstruction. The country now occupied by Meade, once fertile, prosperous and happy, is now a vast territory of ruin and desolation. Dwellings prior to the war inhabiteturns in despair to his bivouac to brood over the evils of war. This is the condition of the country now occupied by Meade.

Lee's movements mean, though we should think that Meade discovered them pretty plainly in that race to Washington. An army correspondent of the Herald itively obtained; but it is fair to presume that he has a motive, which is evidently not to give Meade battle; for it were he has had many fair opportunities ere this. It would appear that he rather fears an advance on Meade's part; for otherwise he would not so diligently destroy the railroad or throw up fortifications. This would indicate weakness on Lee's part, no doubt caused by the loss oelligerent attitude, until the truth leaks out from a heavy battle in the Southwest, and then if Meade should advance his fortifications would serve him to check sufficiently long to make good his re
