On last Thursday morning, at daylight, the Fifth Corps with the Third division of the Second and two brigades of Gregg's cavalry, started South. Nothing positive has been heard from them since; but it is believed a battle was fought on Friday, at Stony Creek. The advancing forces were under General Warren.
It is very evident that General Grant contemplates an immediate movement, and we should not be surprised if a heavy battle was fought, the snow and cold not preventing, sometime during the present week.
There is a rumor from the Army of the James, to the effect that Petersburg was about to be evacuated.
