About 2,000 rebel soldiers made their appearance two miles beyond are pickets to-day. Our nearest regiments drew up in line of battle, awaiting their attack, but declining to go beyond our lines. The rebels made no attack upon us yesterday, but there several shells into the camp of the Massachusetts 22d. The rebels were subsequently driven away by the appearance of our advance.
