Madison Court-House, and the immense rebel forces at Gordonsville and Orange were the main army, under General Lee, who had arrived from Richmond. When Jackson left Cedar Mountain he proceeded immediately to Madison Court-House, where he rejoined Ewell. Then the reunited army marched to Luray, in the Shenandoah Valley, thence northward to Berry's ford, where he crossed, while Lee was keeping General Pope engaged in front. Lee's plan was to keep Pope between the Rapidan and the Rappahannock rivers until Jackson had attained his position at Manassas (or perhaps at Rappahannock bridge); but General Pope's retreat to the Rappahannock's north bank frustrated that design, and rendered it necessary for Lee to follow up his advantage, and, by a system of feints, to take General Pope's attention from his rear and divert it to his front.

From Northern Virginia. We mentioned in our issue of yesterday that passengers by the Central read reported that heavy firing was heard in the direction of Culpeper from Gordonsville on Monday, and that the opinion obtained that a severe fight was in progress. It has since transpired that this firing was near Rixeyville, in Culpeper county, between the forces of Gen. Stuart and the advance of the enemy. The affair resulted in a very sharp skirmish, in which the enemy were driven back over the Hazel and Rappahannock rivers. What the loss was on either side we were not able to learn, but officers who came down on the train last evening attach little importance to the engagement, and regard it as a mere skirmish, and not by any means indicating a prospect of an early general battle. The firing is said to have continued at intervals from 7 o'clock in the morning until 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
