'I be most Important Information I can Impart to-day, and tbe most gratifying, doublleas, to a majority of your readers, Is tbe fact that "all la quiet" along tbe front of this whole army corps, not withstanding the numerous current reports to the contrary, that haveprrvalledlnyourcttydu ring the past week, A few days ago It was ncml-offlclally an nounced that the whole rebel regular force had disappeared from our fronts suddenly anrl rnvstfrlniitlv- 1hilr kpniils Anitnlrkeia rtrfi .... , .. i it n withdrawn, and the natural) conclusion of all -who Investigated the matter was, that Jackaon .,.... ... . . . nun ui, ntiui. nine iiau gvun iu jvm it u his operations aealnst Gen. Durnslde. Last night we were relieved from ennui by Ihe repord oi scouts to tne enect mat jacKton was again pressing our irom at 1 teiegrapnea you at in, time and had hit headquarters at Uppervllle, Stuart at Salem, and other commanders with smaller bodies of troops at Warrenton, Aldie, and Waterloo Bridge. This all may be true, ana i may aaa mat tae nrst report was con firmed this morning by the coming in of another scout. While lam not prepared positively to contradict this report, ttlll I am prepared to ex press an opinion that there is no large rebel force at or near the points named, or anywhere in this section or Virginia. I hare arrived at this conclusion only arter a thorough invcatlga. tlon and weighing all th, facts presented. Jlrst, none of the scoutt report that they have teen the forces or the generals referred to, but they report eimpiy wnaioiuers,maimy secessionists, of course, have told them. If your readers will call to mind the numerout canards started In Washington by the secessionists during tbe last year, they will be prepared to pass upon the reliability of the stories told by the same class of people outside of the Union lines, w here thev are under no restraint, whatever. Again, it It not reatonable to tuppose that tbe rebels would for a momentthink of weakening General Lee In the defence pf Richmond, limply to make a feint In this direction, for If there be a large force In our front It It only to make a feint, be cause none but a crazy man would ever think of attacking Washington, defended by the large foice It Is at thla time. No official, however, Is I responsible for tbe'oplnlon herein expressed! It in my own, una iirao win amuo nnriner i mn correct or not a skirmish. VhlleI believe there Is no large rebel regular force In front, I know that tbe country about Is daily patrolled Lv White's IrretruUr band, and who bare as auxiliaries, a numerous force of bin uwnac iters, iney, true to reoei insuuct, are, great In keeping up appearances, and are liable to be met with In greater or less numbers, about anywhere outside of our line. Early yester day morning, Capt. Kbenlg, of Gen. Bchnrzt on the Warrenton plLe. When within one mile of rebel c airy was met, and for fifteen or twenty minute th, firing was quite lively.

Tfiere Is but little difficulty about citizens without passes, but it It the cltliens with passes obtained through the Influence of tome kind or lnjndl dons friend at Washington that make the most trouble.
