It is said to be the design of the rebel leaders to concentrate 300,000 of the their last troops at Cordounsville, including 30,000 order to invade Pennsylvania capture Philadelphia, and to hold that city and Baltimore during the winter. They boast of having 300,000 other troops, which they say are sufficient to defend Mobile, Charleston and Savannah, and to operate in Kentucky and went of the Mississippi.

It this respect it will be seen that the movement was necessary, preliminary to placing the army in a portion for an advance, wh it does not in the least betray the plan on which that advance is to be finally made from Lovettsville. General Burnside threatens equally the rebel flank at Winchester and their line of communication via Front Royal. Our cavalry and light artillery, under General Pleasanton, are reported to have occupied Leesburg last night, the rebel cavalry force there retreating before our advance; but I cannot now verify the report from any one acquainted with the facts. In relation to the rebels we have numerous reports, all tending to one conclusion — that the main portion, it not the entire army, has fallen back beyond Winchester. One fact may be said to be certainly established; that they have dest
