The Daily Dispatch: November 2, 1863., [Electronic resource], From Northern Virginia. (search)
From Northern Virginia. The information received yesterday from our army in Northern Virginia indicates a season of quiet and inaction, except what is being done by raids of our cavalry in the lines of the enemy. There was a report among some of the passengers on the Central road last night that Gen. Stuart had made a dash upon the enemy on Saturday in the neighborhood of Warrenton Junction, the result of which was the capture of a large number of prisoners; but the report seems to lack the chief elements of confirmation.

Wit rest of the day to provision the troops, but the cavalry, under Gen. Stuart, continued to press the enemy's rear guard towards the Rappahannursued towards Brandy Station. Near that place the commands of Stuart and Lee united, on the afternoon of the 11th, and after a severe en the following day, and some skirmishing occurred at Buckland. General Stuart, with Hampton's division, retired slowly towards Warrenton, in o moved from Auburn and attacked him near Buckland. As soon as General Stuart heard the sound of Lee's guns he turned upon the enemy, who, afr a stubborn resistance broke and fled in confusion, pursued by General Stuart nearly to Haymarket, and by General Lee to Gainesville.

bramble and high weeds waving triumphantly over the land. A lone caviller rides in vain in pursuit of a few ears of corn for his faithful and jaded steed, and returns in despair to his bivouac to brood over the evils of war. This is the condition of the country now occupied by Meade. How long he will continue to make the Upper Rappahannock his line for military operations I am not prepared to say. Should he remain where he is during the winter, he will receive some hard blows from Gen. Stuart, who never falls to harass the enemy when an opportunity presents itself. John Minor Botts, a miserable traitor, has been endeavoring to arouse the sympathy of some of the army in his behalf by telling them how much he has suffered by some of our troops stopping only one night on his farm. This individual, during the occupation of Culpeper by the enemy, gave entertainments, and invited the most prominent officers to his house; and from what I have heard I have not the slightest doub

ing brief summary of the news they contain, which is not important: Operations of Meade's army. There is no news from Meade's army, which, it is said, is confronting Lee's army, which is said to be this side of the Rapidan. Only a few of Stuart's cavalry are beyond the Rapidan. The Philadelphia Inquirer says: On Monday Kilpatrick's cavalry was at Pony Mountain, only a mile or two southeast of Culpeper, and on Monday night he saw no fires there, but large and extended fires sent ut Gen. Hardee has been assigned to Gen. Polk's corps, and relieved General Longstreet on Lookout Mountain. The latter has gone with 16,000 troops, part of cavalry, to East Tennessee. The balance of the cavalry have gone to Iuka. Cheatham's and Stuart's divisions have returned, and Bragg has now three full corps — Hardee's, Breckinridge's, and Buckner's — a total of sixty thousand men, at a low estimate. A stupendous movement is on foot, which will make an epoch in the history of this war

to occupy Frederick and the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, with the balance of his forces, estimated at four thou-thousand, to remove and escort public property to Washington. On the 29th the army was put in motion, and on the evening of that day it was in position, the left at Emmetsburg, and the right at New Windsor. Buford's division of cavalry was on the left flank, with his advance at Gettysburg. Kilpatrick's division was in the front at Hanover, where he encountered Gen. Stuart's Confederate cavalry, which had crossed the Potomac at Seneca Creek, and passing our right flank, was making its way towards Carlisle, having escaped Gregg's division, which was delayed in taking position on the right flank, by the occupation of the reads by a column of infantry. On the 30th the right flank of the army was moved up to Manchester, the left still being at Emmetsburg, or in that vicinity, at which place three corps, First, Eleventh, and Third, were collected under the

k safety in disordered flight down the western slope of the ridge, and across the western ridge of the Chickamauga. We have taken not less than 5,000 prisoners, and perhaps 10,000. Gen. Hooker will probably intercept the flying enemy in the vicinity of Roseville and the region east of it. There are reports that we have taken a whole corps. Among the casualties are Lieut.-Col. Espy, of the 68th Indiana regiment; Maj. McCawley, of the 10th Iowa; Col. Omars, of the 90th Illinois; Lt.-Col. Stuart, of the 90th Illinois; Maj. Walker, of the 10th Missouri; Maj. Welsh, of the 56th Illinois; Maj. Innies, of the 6th Iowa, wounded; Maj. Irwin, of the 6th Iowa, killed. Full reports of the killed and wounded cannot be obtained, as most of the killed were in General Sherman's corps, and remained at dark in the hands of the enemy. The list will be telegraphed to-morrow. The prisoners say that Bragg was on the ridge just before they were taken. The successful storming parties con

last session. Two prominent schemes are before the public. The one is the scheme of the Bank Directors who lately assembled at Columbus; the other that of Mr. Stuart. Both have been discussed in this paper, and we do not intend to enter afresh upon the examination of them. Both of them have many good points, although if we were compelled to choose we should prefer the plan of Mr. Stuart. But they both have the funding feature, which to us is a decided objection. We greatly prefer a tax, with no after claps. We wish to see this debt wiped out as we go on, and no burthen thrown upon posterity. If our Congress would march boldly up to the question, and take the bull at once by the horns, the financial difficulty could be settled in a very short time. Mr. Stuart estimates the circulation at $650,000,000, and the property of the Confederacy at $4,000,000,000 specie valuation. As the currency now stands, that is equal to $64,000,000,000. Now, we propose to raise a sum of $6

No reports have yet been received at Gen. Pleasanton's headquarters. Some of Stuart's men made a dash on the rear of the 5th corps trains, destroying about twenty of our wagons. The whole army is this morning advancing in line of battle, and sharp skirmishing is going on in front. The enemy withdrew their skirmish line two . S. Smith, wounded; Col.
