28 NOVEMBER 1863, Page 2

The American war news is almost nil. General Meade has

again crossed the Rappahannock. On the 7th November he drove in the enemy's outposts at Rappahannock station, capturing, it is said, 2,000 prisoners, and now occupies Culpepper, the Southern army resting on the Rapidan. In Tennessee, General Burnside's outposts were similarly driven in, he losing 600 men ; but he reports him- self impregnably intrenched near Rogersville. At Charleston, Fort Sumter held out gallantly, the Confederate flag being shot down about twice in every twenty-four hours and always replaced.
