Up to noon to-dsy it was understood that no | communication hed been Teceived by the Gov- ernment here from our Army of the Potomac, tater than the advic2= commented upon in yes. | terday's Star. Parties who have arrived in Washington from the vicinity of Rappahan- ucek Station, say that firing was heard yester- day in a more southerly direction than on the day Delore, when it was believed the firing was in and about the Wildernese.

So our conclusion, from the circumstances etated above, Is that Meade is gradually progressing on his way to Richmond without meeting the rebel army in force; yet | finding his march opposed at every step by suf- ficiently large bodies of rebels to make it nee ceesary to keep np heavy skirmishing all the time. | Nothing bas occurred that we can hear of throveh diligent inquiry, to create the impres- son that Meade sis not successfully carrying out precisely what we have every reason to regard as the original purpoce and plan of the current movement of his army.

The work yesterday was only preliminary for to-day, if the enemy mean fi7i/. Itean certainly do no harm now to recapit- ulate the movements of this army for the Tae forty-eight hours, which is m position ready Jor any emergency. { The army was under orders to march last Tuesday morning, but an unfortunate rain- storm eetting in the night before, rendering the Toads next to impussable, caused a postpone- ment of the day for marching. Tuesday the storm ceased, and on Wednesday a stiff breeze | and an unclouded sun, aided materially in drying the roads. Thursday morning, orders | baving been issued the night before, the whole | army was ip motion. The First and Fifth | corps moved to Culpeper Ford, ashort distance below Germania Mitl; the Second corps to j Germania Ford followed by the Sixth corps as | asupport.

H. Davis, Mrs. Dickson and Miss Dickson, who are charged by Rev. W. B. Matchett with as- With intent to kill his wife, and with conspiracy to kill her. It appeared that the witnesses for the prose- cution had been heard by Justice Row): Thanksgiving day. At that hearing th tendants’ counsel wis not present, aud the cuse ‘was postponed. At the opening of the cx yesterday, Mr, Drury, counsel for the defence, moved for the di-musea] of the case upon the ground that the case of assault and battery bad been once heard by a magistrate, who dismissed the case against the defendants, and held the prosecuting wit- nes-, Mr. Ma‘chett to bail for court, for assault and baitery, he appearing to be the assaulting party. There.wus one.assiiult. only, none he- ce, and “for that Mr. Matchett was held to answer. Mr, Matchett argued in reply that the cases ! were entirely. different, the conspiracy and assault with intént to.killhaving been subse- } quently developed. 5 Mr. Drury suggested that the conspiracy was art and parcel of the act charged upon the former eximination by another Justice. Jus- tice Rowland ruled that the assault and bat- tery case having been tried,.it should not be considered, and the case now to be considered, is the charge of conspiracy. i Mr. Matchett being sworn, testified to the effect that for a long time the defendants, who occupy part of the house with his family, have ! been annoying him and assaulting his wite anc abusing his family with a view to drive them | from thehouse. Among the aunoyances which he charged lo them was the ty iag aA dead rat to his door-knob, the throwing crement upon his window, attempting to put 1 padtock on his door. He :lso stated that the detendant< came into his room and assaalted his wite, sue being in a delicate condition, and jammed her against a bedstend. Witness further stated that Miss Muhleg said that she would muke hie wife give birth before the time, would kick her out of the honse, throw hertrunks oul, &c , &c. Miss Mubieg a'so, on tie evening atter the Jast assault, met witness’ wile, and said to her, It’s you, isit! I'l give you another dig. Your evidence won't be taken.” Having made his statement, Mr. Matchett called Mr. Alex. Ayatt to testify, who stated that Mr. Matchett on one occasion called him to witness certain things in Mr. Matchett’s house. Witness saw onlya man anda woman, and saw them through a window. Saw nothing tending to aconspiracy to kill; overheard no conversation; can’t say what room they were in. Witness climbed up stairs at the request of Mr. Matchett, saw the man and woman; saw a bottle. Mr Drary. now asked the Justice what wit- nesses testified before him, and being informed who they were, asked a postponement of the case, that he might have the witnesses again brought forward, and have an rtunity to crcss-examine them. To this Mr. Matchett objected, u; account of his wife’s delicate eituation. The Justice, however, decided to Postpone the hearing until W: 1 Bt 3 o'clock p. m.
