The following dispatch just received from our advance telegraph station near Kelly's or Barnett's Ford:

ADVANCE, 28th - 2.30 p. m.

General BURNSIDE:

I heard from Colonel Devin at 1.30 p. m. All quiet here. A cavalry force on the Culpeper road, 12 miles form Barnett's Ford; a force of all arms at Stevensburg, 16 miles from the ford. This, he a says, is from information gained, but he has seen no enemy, except a small scout on the south side of the river. He report General Pope, with the main body of his army, at Warrenton Junction. He has sent to Rappahannock Station and will report to me. When the scout returns I will telegraph you.

Everything is perfectly quiet in this neighborhood.
