From the army in the Valley.

Reports from the army, such as reach us, indicate that there has been no change in its position since our last issue. All the information that has come to hand during the past two days gives as the assurance that there is no immediate probability of a battle. The campaign, so far as fighting is concerned, is no doubt closed in Northern Virginia.

The enemy does not seem disposed to attempt a passage of the Potomac in force in the presence of our army, and as the fall rains have set in, by which the streams in that section are usually suddenly and greatly swollen, it is reasonable to conjecture that he will hardly have the temerity to put himself between our army and the river.
