Hill’s rebel. corps was then moving towards thé Potomac in the di- rection of Leesburg. . It 1s, to be presumed that whatever rebels that may be en route in that quarter were duly “felt” with cavalry and supporting infantry in the course of the night. | There seems to be little reason to suppose that Hill is about to operate so far to the’right with any considerable force; more especially as the | change in the weather immensely incréasés | Lee's difficulties in supplying his troops in, the ivmg. since exhausted territory | be now oceupiés. Upon the information at | hand we are inclined to believe that Lee will not, under present circumstances, leave the protection of the Bull Run mountains, west of Leudon county; any advance hitherward from them being an apparent utter impossibility in the current storm.

P. Hill's) had moved from our frent'in the diréction of Leesburg. A beavy reconnoissance was immediately started in the direction of Aldie, the reconnoi- tering party moving light, without knapsacks, and the enemy will make little by their motion, should they be undertaking any surprise game in that direction. There was more or less skirmishing amopg the pickets on either side, and several casualties are reported. On Wednesday, at one o'clock, an attack was | made upon our baggage and transportation train about a mile anda half to the leftof Brent- ville. Tho third and part of the sixth corps ‘were in the rear, and they succeeded, after a few well @irected shots, in compelling the rebels to abandon their attempted demonstration upon the train. Yesterday there was skirmishing all along j the lime of our army, and some firing also upon the old Ball Run battle-fleld, but there ‘Was no general engagement. Our army last might was in line of battle. The whole bag- gege and transportation train wassent tothe rear, and the sutlers were ordered to Alexan- dria. . {The Skimainnieg youtaraay wee palavipauy for position, and the report is, that in every inatance Meade has succeeded in® getting the advantage.’ SEE SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS, ‘The Medical Director was advised this morn- ing by telegram from Headquarters Army of the Potomac, that abeut 400 sick including a small number of wounded would be sent from Fairfax Station at 11 a. m. to-day. 3 ERS OF WAR. ‘thidehuedbarne ninety-two prisoners of ‘war, chptured om Wednesday last, near Bristoe Station, reached the city last night, and were tape to the Old Capitol by order of Capt.

The | rebels lett their killed and wounded on the field- In all over seven hundred prisoners fell into our bands, 8 portion of which have arrived in the city. Our killed, wounded, and missing during the skirmishes the entire week falls short of 1,000, The movements of the army of late have been strictly of a military character and every step of a retrograde nature was buta bait for the over-anxious Lee, who has been completely outgeneraled by the Union commander.

The enemy after 4 spirited contest, was repulsed, losing a battery of five guns, two colors,and four hundred and fitty prisoners.

Acon- siderable number of rebel dead and wounded tell into our hands; the latter not being inclu- ded in the foregoing aggregate of prisoners. The march from our late to the present posi- tion was accomplished in the most perfect or- der, and without loss of wagons or other Pprop- erty. ‘The enemy were held in check atevery point | where they attempted a surprise or attack, The force3 which attacked General Warren werea portion of Hill’s corps. Some of the prisoners state that they had marched from Hanover Junction, near Richmond, since Sat- urdsy last. THE LATE FIGHTING, Six Hundred Rebels, Five Cannon and Two Colors Captured—Great Bravery, of our Censcripts—They Fight Splendidly. (Dispatch to Philadelphia Inquirer] On Monday General Meade crossed his whole force to this side of the Rappahannock, but finding no enemy in force in his front, he ordered three or more corps to recross the Rap- pabannock ona reconnoissance in torce, and marched as far as Brandy Station. A few Rebels were met, and some skirmish- ing took place, with little or no loss on either side, the Rebels retiring as our troops advanced. Believing Lee contemplated a movement on his right flank and line of communication, Gen. Meade then ordered a retrogade movement, and his troops recrossed the Rappahannock, mov- ing on both sides of the railroad towards War- Trenton Junction. This occupied Tue: ' .ue ary Moving up to Ci un and Uat- lett’s Station. On Wednesday the march was resumed, and the Second Corps, which brought up the rear, came suddenly on a force of rebets in front, at Auburn, near Catlett’s Station. The rebels bad posted: a battery onahill, and opened on the First Division of the Second Corps, Gen. Caldwell, the last of the rear guard. "Ricwatts’ Ist uecaeyivanin Battery, attached to Gald- well’s division, took a position, forci: it to retireon the main body, which was following on our left and rear. The rebel force was Heath’s division of A. P. Hill’s corps. This fight insted from eight t eleven o’clock Wednesday mofning. The bat- tle ended, the march was resumed, and when the Second Corps, in the afternoon, had reached a point between Kettler and Broad Run, onthe same ground Gen. Hooker fought on Pope's retneat, they encountered a 1: force of Heath's and another rebel division formed’ in ane of battle parallel with the railroad. The rebels again Spened the ball. with cay- fantry. Gen. Warren, commanding the Second Corps, soon placed his divisions in position, vigorously charged the rebels and put them to flight, ca) turing 600 prisoners, a battery of six fine rifled guns, and two stands of colors. One of the guns was disabled and conld not be gt away. fhe others were taken away by hans The. caprece of the battery was made by vol- unteers m all three divisions of the corps, and was a most reer achievement.

Two stands ot colors were captured by Corporal Thos, Cal- len, company I, 82d New York regiment, who took» them from the color-bearer of the 28th North Carolina regiment. At the'close of the fighting in the morning General, Caldwell had the dead and wounded all brought off. The same thing was done in the afternoon by ‘General Warren, all our dead being buried and the wounded brought away. All ‘our traing were safely withdrawn. T oss in the Second Corps, in these two battles, amounts to between five hundred and six hun- dred killed, wounded and missing. The loss of the Rebels is believed: to be much heavier in killed and wounded, exelusive of the six hundred prisoners captured, who were marched past General Meade’s headquarters this morning, on their way to ‘Washington.

A FALSE RUMOR. f The New York Times of yesterday contains the tollowing Washington despatch: «The command of the Army of the Potomac, | of course, is fatal. Gen. Meade in histurn has been compelled to give place tosome other man. His removal from command seems to have been determined on. His successor is said te be Major Generai Daniel E. Sickles.” There is nofoundation whatever for any part of this story. On the conirary, we hear from those on whose sources of intorm&tion we have every reason to rely, that the President ex- presses great gratification with the manner in which Gen. Mcade has conducted the recent movements of hisarmy. JOHN MINOR BOTTS UNDER ARREST, John Minor Botts was arrested on Monday last at his home at Brandy Station by the Uon- tederate cavalry. It is presumed it is a set off to the arrest of several prominent Culpeper men, now at the Old Uapitol, sent in by Gen. | Meade as dangerous men. 1t may have proceeded, however, from the gossip of the correspondents of the New York papers, respecting his entertaining Union offi- ccrs at his house, haying reached Richmond.

He believes that the organs of an Administration do more harm. than good, and whoever aspires to be his organ goes it without his sanction or even permis- si We take it that the Herald correspondent about hits the facts in the case.

A SENSATION REPORT.—The Baltimore American says: s¢We learned yesterday from military gentle. men from Harper’s Ferry that the rumors of rebel advances in the Valley have turned out to be entirely unfounded. Captain Cole on Wednesday returned from a scout as far as Front Royal, having found no enemy, and heard of none, except a few small guerrilla parties. He picked up and brought in as pris- oners fifteen rebel stragglers, including twe officers: Neither Imbaden, Jackson nor Jones were or had been at Winchester or in the neigh. borhood. In fact, the whole excitement has turned out to be one of those occasional base- less panics which are so common in that vicin- ity.
