--No. engagement to-day and very little skirmishing. Great has slung fortifications in our front, and is supposed to be moving his main force around still more to our right.

There has been heavy fires to day, extending back several rules on the line of the Crutral Railroad, and it is conjectured the enemy are burning the track and depots.--It is also reported that the enemy are destroying the track between Milford and Chesterfield Depot, on the Fredericksburg road.
