ARMY OF THE POTOMAC

Two Days Fighting In Virginia. Gen. se Defeated and in 'Retreat. On Wednesday there was no fighting, our army Laving crossed the RapMan withou serious opposition,. Tburs lay Lkb attacked our moving columns with his entire force.1 for the purpose of breaking the amiy in two. In this he failed. 'Not more than one-half of General Meade's array was engaged, yet the f ground was bel l in the main. Ou Friday f the fight was renewed under more favor able auspices on otir side, and the enemy was driven a considerable distance, leaving his dead and badly wounded in onr hands. Up to eleven o'clock Saturday t morning there La i I eon no iihtino-, and r t t . rw, . I.ke was believed to be rr-treah.r. Tlie result, therefore, of the two daya, fightinpr was an indecisive victory Over the rebels Indecisive in bo far that the victory cannot be considered complete until the enemy is crushed. There is a report that Lra left 3,000 killed and 10,0JO wonnded on the field, but this is probably an exaggeration; but his losea - were doubtless very heavy, as were also those of the Union army. The particulars which we publish of Thursday's battle, show that the conflict was a desperate one; and was almost exclusively a rnnsketry contest, it being- impossible, owing to the peculiar character of the ground, to use artillery to any extent. The Army of the Potomac fought splendidly, and the rebels did the same. On Thursday night Bckxsidk's Corps ar rived, having made a forced march from Manassas equaling those celebrated marches which he made in East Tennessee. This enabled Okast to hurl a tremenJious force against Lee on Friday, which resulted in driving him back Beveral mile. Grant, according to late dispatches, was pursuing. Lee can hardly receive re-enforcements, while t (ramt must be further heavily strengthened. - Sioel's corps, which- left Marlinshurg a week ago, must now be near at hand, and Gen. Smith's forces from Fortress Monroe are also expected to form a junction with Gkaxt. Weak: ened, therefore, as Lkk has been, and Grant gaining strength as he move,' there seems to be excellent ground upon which to base hopes for results that shall decisively trimnph. Gen. Hl'tlsr's movement from Fortress Monroe, which is part of General Grant's comprehensive plan, was also 'a success. He' landed snfely and without opposition at City 1'oint, f otith of the James river, and only fifteen mil4 from the recl Capital. A late dispatch reports that he had taken Petersburg. This wonld cut off commnnicatiou by the seaboard line of railroad, and jeopardize the only remaining road leading South from Kichmond. We also hear from the column which moved from Charleston, Kanawha, a week ago, under General Crook. It reache l Princeton on Saturday. A force of- twentyfive hundred rebels at that place retreated precipitately, leaving most of their equipage behind. The destination ' of this column we do not know; but by this time it has struck the Fast Tennessee and Virginia Uailroad, when it would be distant from Lynchburgh something over ' one hundred miles. Thus we see our arnues arc thundering all round Richmond, simultaneously forming a circle which is ' steadily contracting. In the Southwest our armies are also striking. ,Toii?tox ' is retreating before SukrMax, and while Thomas is striking iu front, other Corps arc moving on his flanks. It is believed that Genera .-HMiHAN targeiy oiunumoers johxstox I - , , ; me larier imvtng ix supposevi. tieen wearcend to reenforce Lv.k, under the impression that Siiekmax's army was bring depleted to strengthen the Army of the Potomac. There can now be no shifting of forces from one point to another. The rebels have concentrated in two armies. We have virtually done the same. The rebels have put forth their entire strenght. We have not done this, to the same extent; but onr forces are largely concentrated, and the indications now are j that they are equal to the work that has been undertaken. The objective points are the destruction of the redel armies. Toward this the progress thus ftr must be regarded as satisfactory, and with the determination that is manifested to .gather the fruits of victories, we may hope for a glorious culmi- ' i of the Spring campaign. , However great may be the work still before our armies, the loyal people trill find in this morning's news cause for rejoicing such as has not been presented since the commencement of the war. For further grand achieve- , inents we shall not, it now seems, have long to wait. The casualties reported are: General Hayes killed; Generals Getty and Gregg, Colonel Hoys and General Owens, wounded. General Hancock received a slight wound while rallying his men to resist A. P. Hill's onset. Two of General llurnside's staff are reported to have been killed while , carrying dispatches. . The action oa -Friday was fought under fortut labia ddiouTties by our troops.

We had proceeded about three miles on the Katfmal road east of the the town, when we com; to a cross road at which place , , . , K -, ... wereconsTttl from twelve to fiiteeu men, each of whom was armed either with a rifle, or shot Run - loaded and capped. We stepped and entered into nrtJ,m with them eonccrninff the state of the Country and the object of tlieir mect; lg. We had been there but a few minntos, when a large party came up, and in the course of aa hoar and a half soras three hundred mm had oonyregated, who were armed as before described many of titem tad rovinvcri visible upon their persons in adviiU'ia to the guns abovo referred to.- X Ulkad with them ftvcly aa to their object in congregating, and discovered that they were fully organized into a sailitary command.

After conversing with thex freely, I became fully convinced that they were assembled for treasotiable purposes. In the meantime I cviupan.c . me "-fc- .y - aesembled as soon as possible. They were mostly in town, and responded promptly. 1 then informed the treasonable, armed mob, that if they did not disperse at once twru.uB..e "1- -"B trie sincerity m uieir uctiroiii a vw ,m . wir tie without delay; and, noiwiCistandiiitr anmerous Tioieuiaec.ari.uiu iu cuuw.,, '"o Uv'on breurbt up, tiiey began to asperse, traxelrng s a- a. .

The citizens had already sent a delegation requesting then to leave their arms behind, hoping thus to avoid bloodshed. Tiie pretended commander had refused to comply, and expressed a determination to do as he please d; but in tha meantime had halted about a half a mile from town. I at once ordered one company of the Legion forward on the road in that direction, arid proceeded immcdintely to ascertain if possible the determination of tha bestirs party. On arriving where tliey were-, I inquire d for tiie officer in command, and after a short cootk irsation with tliem, I ascertained that ho wanaxpeeti.sg to form a junction with the other party at Brazil, h ow ing complete concert of action. 1 told him and hi.- party were at liberty to go either to the town or return home, whichever they saw fit, but that no militai y display would be allowed, unless they joined the re; rular mihtaryorganiiation; and that tlieir presence wrte looked upon by the people as a liostile denioustratio n--conaeqnently they niutt disperse at once, or I sh ould nse the necessary mean to accomplish this ob iect at tlie earliest possible moment, i , At first they sei imed inclined to sUnd their ground. J ust before the co oipany I ordered up arrived they left hurriedly. Thus ended what seemed at one time to hi a more seirkius difficulty than mere words. These people scorned to well understand each other, though the cit ixons of Clar conr.tv knew but a small number of th-sm. They were mostly oa horseback. Soma were recognized who rived twenty-five .miles away. I asfced many of them t'leir nam?, but all refused to giioe their names or the names of their comrades; though so me of them were recognised, and I espectsoon to be ab'le to furnish you with the names of Several ef the lerwlers and most violent parties belonging to the gang. I fill here remark that they aero a very hard looking set. of maax not an educated, gentlemanly appearing m. oi among them, and it is my opinion that unless some of their leaders are speedily arrested we may lix i any day for startling news from Clay county.

C. ) mtrodneed the ftJIowinff resolution into the i Wayne county convention, which was adopted: I "Kesotvwl, That we respectfullv recommend t she "f r.-rt of Ua vno oouaiv, a, rrtmt inr idrt, eo,e ty baUa ou tl first 1 Monday in April, the candidate receiving the hie best j ote m any township to have that torn nship, ana the I u ,utt P f Oiff-nt candKlate. to be - i atcnehua to any district convention which mtrle held oa Repbfiran bsis adopted two rears apo. and j that we respectfully submit to the Republicans' of the r "tcr counties in tiiis diktnrt tlie proynety of a nm .iter TZZ.TT?' - vntfitm by oWnirte awilw It will besen by tlie above, that the plan of . computing by townships adopted in former congress oual nominations, was adhered to, and the additional rer mmendatiun of it was orjred for the reason that the indiTiJual who slionll receive the larjrest number of e oteo thus computed jri?Maiy, should be the nominee and be so declared, rMMmt tie aid of lie oJdtivjmei ma.Ju ri Jmtrirt coMreatHx. j This plan was good enough then, and under it: i operauun toe prestmt mcumbeat was declared to bt the nominee. ( The central .rnmitte of this count v, appoiuta 1 ia ! 13(-,0j(immeJiaU., , g jurT wm of u of countII J lm cj h wij for dJJates by popular election, leaving the tim;! blank, but recommended that the countv convention 1 held . the meeting of the State convention, to make the rx -cessars, arrangements for conducting said election,- -the chairman of said committee, O. T. Jones, presiding: over t said mef ting; concluded to take the entire chart -e of the machine and ran it ra 12,- on the earns plan here tofore adopted. According!-, on the 1st of Marci i, the 1 central oomm.ttee mat at Centerrille, and resolre : that ; th8 ' Republicans and Union m-n anl all who ai in t favor of a rigorous prosecuUoa of the war," si lould i.ir., .- ... ,r , . . . , .

Undi-r this notion of the committee the nomim tin? election was hold. Iu Wayne, Mr. Julian had no ( position, sndtMit of S20 rotes cast at that comina ting election, be received but 1528 a majority scrato: hing his name off tha ticket. Hia friends however con tended that the county had declared lor him, and tho entire vote, eompntrd bg toKwAipi, was awarded him. In Henry, Randolph, anl Delaware, notuiurtiug elect: ons were held, and he received enough votes, hg umh h,t ia there counties, (on tho "basis" never yet rosciu led and ahvaya horetofore acted on, to secure the no ruination to him. Fayette neither held a nominating e lection or convention, and its wishes were not cons lilted; while Tnion gave its nominating vote to Mr. Bi kle. At the last Wayne county convention, the com niittce on resolutions rejected a proposition to ignoru the oi l plan Of nominating introduced by J.B.Julian, .Esq. in 1S50, substituting the popular vote system by the district at Inrrfu, and when the central committee met on the fifth of March last, the instructions of the conrention were strictly adheod to and carried out TO i EXPIiKSS TILE CHOICE OF, W AY"E COUJTTy " only, in its selection of Candidates fur County ofl.ces, and "for euMiintaU for eowjrcm from the 5lt district. ' ' The following is an extract from tlie regulations s dopt- -ed by thecomuittce, bearing on t'tU point: A poll shall be opened at each .of tlie usual voting precincts of tiifs county, on the first Mnndar ia Apr.l next; for the purpose of nominating candidates, to be supported or me I mon voters oi the Countr, at the Octolier election, for ! offices ofCountv Treasurer, Sheriff.

' We notice tliat Randolph county, whose majo rity the mends of Mr. Julian note claim should con trol the choice of all the other counties in the district, simplv passed a resolution to tjrpreu it choir for a candidate for congress, coifnty officers. Ac. Its resolution w as very similar to Wayne's. This ilitri-l-mnjorig-claim is a dernier resort an aftorthong'it of Mr. J.'s friends. Fearing that Wayne county would give n overvrhelming majority for Gen. Meredith, they ignored before the election came oi the very plan tiiey mno no fie reel v contend should be adopted, and on the atrength of which Mr. Julian tries to forom himself on tho I'ncondiuonal Union men of tha diiirict, by issuing an ad dress, thaaking them for the nomination and felicitating hims-.-if for receiving it I ! If impu lcnce could be more properly designated by any other word than Julian, we have not as yet seen it ! We learn that the central committee of this countr, on Saturday last, re-adopted the old established precedent J. B. Julian, Esq., recommended four years ago, and under which plan all past nominatins for Congress in tiiis "burnt disfrict" have been made: computing the rote by townships taking the vote received by Teetle for Secretary Htiiaas a basis in each township, and giving onj vote to every 100 cist at that election, and one vote for es5h fractioa over fifty. "This is right. A' few words concerning the Arrest of , Gen. Meredith. At the battle of Gittysburgh, on the first of July last. Gen. Sol. 31ereixth, commanding tlie left wmg tit the advance division of the Army of the Potomac, was struck by a shell, his horse killed under him, anl internal iajurioa of the mwst serious character inflicted from the effect of which he was carried from toe field in an exceedingly critical condition. He was left in the upper room of a imill frams house near the field of battle, and after having' recovered sufSciehtly to bear remoral, he was taken to Washinjm City, and there remained natil he was or Wed, by the Srgeja In attendance, to go home and in tiie quiet of his familv, and by the aid ef such attention as U was impossible to obtain in an army hospital, seek a restoration of his health and strength. a He came home, remained until October, and again reported himself at Head Quarters of his command near CentrevBie Virginia, ready fr doty.- In Deeembev-a rvdapse into the eonditwm, tint had ucciled the injuries received at Getty sburgh, took place, and tha Army Surgeon, again sent him home, with instructions to report bis condition, through the proper medical officers, once in twenty days. In obedience to thfces directions be again took leave of his command, rame ame, and remiee4 here until tbe I-ith of last anoath.'. Oa the second of April, adiapttch appeared ia several aewspapers, stauag that General Meredith bad been Ae latched from, the Amy af the Potomac, and ordered to report to Cairo. . Another dispatch stated that he was ordered to Si.' Louis ; aad aaither that Chattanooga was his destination. Receiving no official orders, be rerwirted himself to the Adjataat General ef the Army at Washington City the Ut or April, tha day of toe expiration ef hie Ust ortonjrh. . From the Adjutant General's oSce, be went ta ins room in the hotel, and being troubled with a alight hemorrhage of thelnngs, be called in the Surgeon in charge of sick 'and wounded officers, and nbmitted himself Into his charge. - Tbe Bert mnrnin? aa officer from tbe War Departmrnt, called npon hiaa, and said that ba should consider himself under arrest, .for visiting the City of Washington without leave. An explanation of tha caase of the arrest was instant: demanded, and aa instant release foQowed. A proper examination into the ease, by the medical officer of tbe Department resulted ia assigning Gen, McKznrra- to dirty at tha Peat at' Cairo.

It is believed that no serurittrs offer so great indaae. : ;

ments' to Tenders as the various desoriptions of U. S. Itouds. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of private parties or stock companies or separate communities only ia pledged for payment. while for the dwbU.of the United States tbe whole
