ARMY OF THE POTUMAC. pei eee Result ef 5S Hundred P Wagon Train—Seve Fight —Enemy Severety Punished—More Priso- ners Taken—Attack on the Second Corps —The Rebels again Repulsed—Estimate of Lo-ses on Both Sides—Names of Union Officers Wounded, &c [Corxespondence of the Associated Press.] HSaADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoTOMac, Feb. 6, a. M.—The result of yesterday’s eugage ment appeared this morning in our advanced lines beyona Hatcher’s Ron -the capture ot about two hundred prisoners, a train of wagons end mules with their drivers, and consigderable loss inflicted on the enemy in killed and wounded. The cavalry, under General Gregg, captured the train at Dinwiddle Court House, while on its way to North Carolina for supplies, the trip taking, as the drivers said, sixteen days for its accomplishment From this place scouting parties were sentin different directions, one of which wext up the Boynton road, where they found camps which Dad been deserted oniy a short time previous, gud where they captured a few wugons of Pegram’s division. In the meantime the rebel cavalry stationed at Bellefield were ordered vp to resist Gregg’s advance, but their force Was Dot strong enough, and, consequently, no regular fight took place. About one hundred barrels of whiskey were destroyed in the vi- cinity, but hoarmy stores were found at any place which our troops had reached. Anor- der was found posted up at Dinwiddie Coart House, appealing to the people to come for- ward and give all the supplies they could possibly epare to the Government, as both men and horses were eulfering very much. The lors in the division was only twoor three duringtheday Capt. Arrowshith, of Gen’l Grege’s staff, had his leg badly bruised by his horse falling on him. In the engagement of the 2d corps yesterday, at Hatchers Run, the loss was about 70 alto. gether, while that of the enemy is estimated at about 300 TEN vp. M.—Quite a severe engagement took Place thie afternoon between the 5th corps and the enemy on the Dabney Mill road, west of Hatchber’s Run, the result of which was not favorahle to us, 60 far as position is concerned, but the enemy paid dearly for the ground he gained. Itseems that about noon the 3d divi- eion of the 5th corps advanced along the road Jeading from the Duncan read toward the Boynton Plank Road, and at 2 o'clock had reacned and driven the rebels from Dabney’s Mills, about two miles from Hatcher's Ran, where they haderected breastworks, bat wera quickly driven from them. They, bowever, kept uparonnirg fire from the woods, until about5o'clock, when they madea most da- termined attack along the line, evidently ex- peeling to break through, and, if possible, cut off the entire division, The heaviest column came up the Vaughn road, on the lett flank, opening 4 severe fireon that part of the line. At the same time an at tack imfront was made, and, part of the di- vision being out of ammunition, they com- ™menced to give way, and in‘ short time the whole line fell back in considerable disorder, until they reached the breastworks erecied by the 2d division of the 2d corps yesterday, where they were rallied, and the retreat checked. The 3d division of the 6th corps had crossed the run just previous, anda part otthem became somewhat dem: ralized, bat soon rallied, and aided in driving the enemy ack. Three wagons, Joaded with ammunition, were on their way to the division when ‘he stampede occurred, but had got fast in a kiud of swamp, and the tongue of one of them broke. When the men fell back, the wagons were left outside the line: and, although Cant. W. F. Tremply, oronance officer of the division, did all in his power to suave them, two wagons had to be ubanaoned, the mer, setting fire to the covers before they left. u Shortiy after an attack was made on the left of the 2d corps, near the Armstrong nonse, on the Duncan read, but tne enemy were repulsed with loss. The 5th corps are helievea ‘> huve lost from three to five hundred men during the day, the others losing very few. The enemy’s loss is estimated as much heavier than onrs, owing to the tact that they were the attacking party. But no correct statersent can be given as yet, even our own casualties. General Mende was present on the field all Cay. but was not wounded, as reported. Some of his staff mude nerrow escapes. Major Pesse's herse was sbot uncer him whilehe was communicating with the 5th corps, ‘The Ist brigade cf the 2d division Sth corps is spoken of as having particntarty distin- guished iteelf during the fight. Brevet Briga- der General Wintbrop, its commander, had two horsts shot. Krevet Brigadier General Irwin Gregg, com- Teapding a brigade of cavalry, was wounded in the ankle, while engaging the enemy eariy in tbe Gay. 4 General Davies was also wounded severely in the shoulder. Major Tremaine, of General Grege’s staf, war bid!y wounded in the foot. Colonel Bankhead, of (General staff, was wounded in the hand. Brevet Brigadier General Morrow, com- Manding $d brigade. 3d division of the oth ccTps, was wounded in the shoulder. Captain Cowdry, Agsistant Adjutant Gen- era! on General Baxter's staff, was mortally, spd Colonel Tilden, 2Utn Maine, wounded in the leg. About one hundred and fifty prisoners were taken, among whom wus Colonel Allen, of the 2itp North Caroliua, formerly an officer in the 12th regulars. The correspondent captured yesterday near Dinwiddie Court House, was Mr. Trembly, of the New York Herald. He was feeding his borse at the time, within a few rods of General Gwynne'’s beadquarters, where he was cap- tured by some rebel cavalry prowling im the vicinity. This party came in conilict with our men in a slight skirmish, during which that corresperdent mude his escape. Colonel Herring, tistn Pi sylvania volun- teers, was wounded in the aukle. W.D McGrecor. Warren's oe CONGRESSIU NAL. When our report closed yesterday, the Senate had under concideration the Post Uilice Appro- prianon Bill. ‘This bill provides that all domestic letters deposited in a post office, either whol v unpatd or stort paid to the extent of more than asiugle Tate of postage, shall be returned to the writers with the stamps uncancelled, and notice of the deficient postage due thereon; that from and af er the Ist of January, i566, the postage upon newspapers and periodicals shall be prepaid, and after that date no printed matter exuept such as is received trom fsoreign countries, or 1s epecially exempted from postage cnarges by acts of Cungress, shall be admitted into the mails unless the postage is prepaid; and aa- thorizes the Postmaster (ieneral to allow ont of the revenue of first-class, second-class, and third.class offices expenses for turuiture, sta. lionery, printing, &c; increzses the compen- eation to publishers of newspapers for printing the letier list to two cents on each letter, instead ‘of one cent, as at present: restores to the spaciat agent of the Post Office Department in the Pacific States and Territories his regular salary of $2.50, with an allowance not exceeding $5 per day for traveling and incidental expenses, and authorizes the appointmentof an additional tpecial agent for the Pacific States and Terri- tories, who shail receive the same pay and allowances for expenses; also two additional epecial agents to superintend postal matters connected with the railway service of theUnited States at the same rate. All special agents of the Post Office Department other thaa those mentioned in the precedicg shall be allowed Sour dollars per dey for traveling and inci- dental expenses. It also authorizes the Postmaster General to pay 10,000 for preparing and publishing a set of postroute maps; to appoint clerks ter the distribution of matter in railway post olfices; to cause the mails to be transported between the United States and any foreign port or ports, or between any ports of the United States, by steamship, allowing and paving therefor, if by an American vessel, any sum not exceeding the reaand United States tpland postage; and if by a foreign vessel, any sum not exceeding the sea, tage on the mails so conveved. It prohibits steamers lea: the United States from carrying letters or letter packets which have not gone through the post office at the Fort of departure, and makes it the duty of the collector of such port to require from the com- marders of vessels a8 . condition of clearance, an oath or aftirmation that he has not received such matter on board; bnt this provision shalt not apply to letters or packats which relate to the cargo and are addressed to the owner or consignee, or to any letters or packets enclosed in stamped envelopes. ‘It National Banks, to their own credit, as deputy portmastera, money orders or other funds in } corrupt éurgeons, 2mite deputy postméisters to deposit in| their charge, under the direction of the Post- Waster Generai; provides that the balance Which may 1emain unexpended of the appro- PTigvon of $100.0 0 to Meet any deficiencies in the prveeeds of the money-order system during the pr-sent fiscal year may be need to supply deficiencies in the proceeds of thesystem dur- ing the next fiseal year; prescrines panisn- T.eu.ts for maliciously injatimg the property of the Post Office Department and for stealing post office stamps, provides thatthe yearly ad- vertitements tor proposals to carry the mails of the United States shall be published tor six weeks in from cne to five newspapers ir the Svate or Territory where the mail service is to he j erformed: establishes free delivery in every city containing a population of titty thousand, the prepa) ment on drop ietters in sach places to be but one cent: and provides tor the exclu- sion of obscene publications, aud the arrest of persons guilty of mailing such matter. Mr. Collamer explained each section of the bill. Itwas not proposed, he said, to make bewrpaper publishers prepay with s‘amps Tb cenld not be done in the case of daily Lewepapers having immense circulation. The New York Heratd, for instance, mailed say one burdred thousand, or it might be fifty thousand copies, daily. They could not possibly get their papers off in time for the mailsif they had to sffix a stamp toeach copy. It was proposed to leave this matter to the discretion of the post- muster, and let him prescribe the rules under which the prepayment would he made. It wae probabie that be (rhe Postmaster Genera!) would orderthe prepayment to be made on a ®worn statement from the subscription books at the publication office. Mr. CoUlamer further stated that the bill, as it was reported by him, met the approval of the Postmaecter General, and wasin part drawnup under his supervision. The Senate then repaired to the Honse of Repregertatives to count the votes of the elec- ‘oral college for Pres:dent. at the conclusion of which the regular order of business was re- sumed. Mr. Somner (immediately on arriving at his desk )— I move that the Senate take up a reso- lution, which | offered a few days ago, calling yon the President of the United States tor Jorma gen relativg to @ conference with cer- tain rebets, Mr. Buckalew.—I think the Senator might Wit till we take our seats, I object. The Chair —Objection is made by the Senator from Pennsylvania. Mr. Trombuil offered a resolation, which ‘was adopted, that the Senate appoint a com- Mittee of one to meet a committee of two from the House, to wait upon Abraham Lincoln aad iniorm him of bis election. Mr. Sumner renewed his motion to take up the resoluucu in relation to the peace confer- exrce. Mr. Sherman said he opposed the resolntion Ppieviously becanse he did not believe tnat it Telated to auy matter Of a legisiative charac- ter which ougnt to be brought before Oorgress, and doubted the wisdom of calling for the in- formation, unless it was necessary to allay purlic excitement Mr. Doolittie entertained no objection to the Tesolution from any fear ‘hat, when the facts were etated, anything would be revealed to wenken the confidence of the people in the President of the United States. The Senate ought to be satisfied thatthe President of tne United States tad discharged his duty to the country. Thegrest mass of the peop!e were fatisfiea with him, and had confidence in him. He (Mr. Doolittle) did not think it wise to pass the resolution. Mr Morrill did not believe it was necessary for @ Senator to get up in the Senate to defend the Presicent. There was no occasion to bring { im euch an issue. He objected,in a mere resolution of inquiry, to be told that. if it was passed. the Senate would not have the regard for the President which it ought to have. Mr Sumper.—l shall only detain the Senate &momert._ I have henrd the speech of the Sen- ator from Wisconein (Mr. Doolittle) more thao cnee on this ficor. I will remind that Senator ef the remark of an illustrious man, the great Chiet Justiceof Engiand, Matthew Hale. Ha was accusicmed very often to say from the bench to the very ardent advocate, "Tion’t jump till you get tothe stile’? The Senator irom Wisconsin would do well if he did not jump so often hetore he gets to the stile. Sir, when Senaters on this floor attack the Pres- ident of the United States, then the Senator may rush forward as speedily as he van to de- tend bim. Mr. Doolittle did not say or mean that every prreon who voted for the resolution intended #n attack npon the Presidenr. I: was tne ta voile weap n made use of whenever a party ULGertakes to attack the Administration to ne- gin to clcss examine, and this the resolution Proposed todo. Henever haa made the charg= thut a portion of the Senate as a class was op- ro-edto Mr Linsvin. It they would refer to huis remarks of the other day they would tind that he brd leterence in what he said aboutat :acking the President to the Sena or trom Ken- tucky (Mr, Powell) and the Senator trom Onio (Mr Wade). These two gentlamen bad joined together to oppose the Administration, and to Ube tree State of Louisiana, Mr. Mcrrill interrupted Mr. Doolittle to say that what he (Mr. Morrill) regarded as parti cularly cffeneive was his classification of the Senute into two pars— radicals and couserva- tives. The whole tone of the speech of Mr. Doolitte was to ciassify Senators in this way, as if there was in the Senate a body cailed radicats. against whom the President had tobe ceferded. He thought the speech of Mr. L'oo- litte obnexions on this account. Mr. Doohtie—Mr. President, I meant the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Wade) and the Sena- tor trom Kentucky (Mr. Powell). L did not tefer io apy other Senator on this floor in the course of my remarks. My remarks were mrdei.rthem. I meant and intended them fur ‘bem. I meant alll said. I mean it now. The Senator from Ohio(Mr Wade) the other day, in speak ng of the Executive, satd the Execa- tive Jacks blovd—he has not got nerve enongh te cerry Out his position as he ought. I re- irrre¢ to this, and [ charged upon tne Senator trem Kentucky the purpose of attacking the Acwinisuation and destroying the free State of Lonisinur. Mr. Wade had very little idea of being drag- €'d intosuch a debate as this. He cared very Jintle what the Seuator from Wisconsin said ahontit Hecid notthink all he (Mr. Doolit- tle) could savon the subject was worth the time ct tbe Senate to say itin, nor the time tt would take bim (Mr. Wade) toreply toit He (Mr. Wade) did not suppose that in anything either of them (he or Mr. Doolittle) might say on the sabject they ccuid subserve the country so well as to Jet it pase and proceed to busi- | ness. Rautit he (Mr. Voolitue) wanted tomake it appear that he was the peculiar defender of the President, and that the President could not stend unless he was braced up by him, he(Mr. Lcolittle) had @ much poorer opinion of the Fresident than he, (Mr. Wade.) He would ad- vise the President, if he was in danger of any attacks for God’s cake to select somebody that would be of some help to nim. Allucing to the charge of a'tacking the Pres- ident, Mr. Wade said he had attacked him when he thougbt he was wrong, and he would do so again. He thought the Srnate of the United States had some indepeudent duties of its own to perform, and-a Senator ouzht not to sit quietly py avd keep silent when the Presi- dent did what be (the Senator) believed to be wrorg. In conclusion, Mr Wade denounced what be termed the demagogica! appeal of Mr Doolittle assions and prejudice as anwor- thy of the place and the occasion Mr. Sumner’s resolution was then adopted; and atter the further consideration of the postal appropriation bill the Senate adjourned. In THE HOUSE, upon the conclusion of the conuntmg of the electoral vote. the House re- Fcipded tts order tor an &n evening session on the nmendatory internal revenue bill, and ad- journed. ——_+ 20 + _____ Great Swindling in New York—Arrest of Bounty Brokers, &c Colonel Biker, the War Department detec- tive, who has been in New York tor three weeks energetically engaged, endeavoring to get at the bottom of the enlistmen: frauds, has succeeded In possessing him:elfofall the proofs ot the most gigantic frauds and forgeries against the Goverrment by the substitute brokers und soldiers on Governor’s Island.

THE MODE OF RWINDLING. The most imporiant swind!+r thus far ar. re ted is the chief cle) x of the Brooklyn Naval Kendezvoue, which is located near the entranea to the navy yard. Upon being eecretly arrested avd brought into the presence of Oot. Baker, at Bis rooms in the Astor Honse, the prisoner assumed an air of injured innocence, Dutapon being confronted with incontestible proofs in the shape of numero forged dovaments, which the wily detective had secured, he turned State s evidence as the only remaining course, snd made aclvan breast of the whola afiair All, or nearly ail, of the otrer parties arrested have Itkewise made fal! confessions, in che cr two cases in the shape of affi- davits. ‘The principal mode of swindling, in the case of the forgeries, was rather complicated, snd somewhat as follows. Twenty men are enlisted for the pavy atthe Brooklyn rendes- vous. These are genuine recraits; their pa- pers are Cfficially drawn up and regularly at- tsted, and they are accordingly sent on board the receiving ebip Nerth Qarolina. Bur, a jew hours iater, Mr. John D-vitn, who seems to have been one of those most exten- sively engaged tn the forgeries, goes to the office where there men were enlisted, and, through his confederate, the chief clerk, or his areistunt, Turnier, obtains access to the regie- ter and mikes a memorandum of the twenty newly registered names, with the particalars attending ‘heir enlistment. Then, returning to Dis own office, he deliberately, with the assist- ance of a few others concerned, makes twenty duplicate enlistment papers, forges the reepee- tive pames atthe bottom, signs Ris own, affixes Dis notary seal and stamp, and the patriotic jabor 1s half completed. The next act is to forge the receipts for the bounty money, which the brokers are acenstomed to take to present for the bounty or bounties due thereon. Upon presenti..g these itis not necessary that they thculd bave accomplices in the men who teil outthe money. The forged enlistment papers and the forged signatures of the United Stites recrniting officer on board the receiving-ship are ample evidence that the men have been re- ceived The faet that the names of the recruits are identical with those upon which the money bas been already paid on opel acerie! or elee- where is not known at the office in question, and the greenbacks are forthcoming. ‘Ihe New York Express of yesterday says: * To-dey, the Colonel followed ap thisim- portant work, and his labors were eminently successtul. The publication of the arrests made yesterday has seemingly alarmed the large class who have amassed small fortunes by enlisting men for other S'ates and counties, and whoee recruits often were tobe found only on paper. Tke developments so far made ehow thatthe bounty jumpers, like Arane, bave united together in order to evade the punish- ment of their offences, and preserve the secrecy so necessary to their success. It is charged that many officials were in leagae with this class, thus securing them immunity from arrest and imprisonment. +s The intormation which Col. Baker received relative to the bounty jumpers in general of New York and Brookiyn, and which was ob- tained by himself personally, and the detec- tyes under his conircl. wasso perfect ag to Jeave no way for the guilty parties to escape. Their antecedents, forged papers, and their of- Lees, haunts and residences are known to him. Some of those who were arrested were simost Gumfounded at the evidence presented againat them, vhich included papers that left doubt of their guilt. Having disposed of these parties by sending them to the Old Capitol prison, Col Baker resolved to. day to yisit other qrarters, where members of the same class abound.” The Express gives an accountof the Volonel’s visit to Brooklyn, and his investigations in Hudson avenue, during which a number of partes were arrested, but whose names are at present withield from publication, and adde: “Yesterday all the papers of the parties arr: sted on 2 charge of bounty jamping were stived by Col. Baker. Among these bank books ana certificates of credits and stocks were jound. One bank book issued by the Long Isisnd Rank, belonging to Richard Daiten, s! owed he had $60.00 to his credit in tnat in- stitution. Dalton is a young man who was in partnership with John Fay, at the corner of Udson avenue and York street, Brooklyn. Both are now in custody. “Jobu Fay is said to be worth #200,000, which is invested in real estate, banks, and stocks, in Brooklyn, aud this city. The money found in tne bark bas been stopped by Col. Baker, and st is deemed probable it will be given o: to the authoriies of Brooklyn, who are ssid to have paid it for recruits who disappeared, “Col, Beker is vt present in possession of seven hundred certificates ot enlistments—the men they represent not heing in the serviee, ‘bis morning Col. Baker received a number of letters, suid to be dated from Hndson avenue, Brooklyn, :nforming him that if he crossed the ferry or ventured into that neighborhood, his life would be taken. Two of the letters had nam:s attached to them. While in Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, he was followed by an ex- ciled crowd, Who were sufficiently awed, bowever, Rot to indulge in any attempt at violence. The Colonel was prepared for any emergency.” Financrau.—From yesterday's N. Y. Gom- merciai Advertiser: The cold market is upnsuallydall There is nospeculation in the Room, and operators fre waiting for something to turn up upon which they can either buy or sell. The price is weak. ‘The supply of money is in excess of the demand, and the rates must be reported still tending downward. There is no difficulty in borrowing, on call, on good collaterals at six percent. Commercial paper is compara- tively scarce, and more dieposition is shown to buy the better grades. First-class names can be easily negotiated at seven per cent; for paper bot strictly A 1, 8a? per cent. is the tur- Tent rate The stock market shows symptoms of 8 re- action from the improvement of the last few Gays. Theie is a lack of confidence in the permanency of the advance, and the turn is new mM favor of “sbort” sales. The expecta- non of news from Sherman has a depressing effect upon prices generally, and indications favor the supposition that we shall hayean unsettled market antil the probable fate of Charleston is ascertained, Gover:ments are rather stronger. Five- twenties rose }, and Ten-forties 4; Sixes of 1881 fell 4. The Evening Post says: ‘Tbe spasmodic movements recently devel- oped in the stock market are attributed to vari- oue circumstances. First, the ease in money and the cessation of the peace rnmors have river more stability to financial affairs gener- ully. Secondly, the opinion prevails tnat the rest sound and dividend paying railroad sbares bave been unduly depressed. For this downward movement several causes are as- sigued. With the approaching close of the war, it has been urged by man, that all prices will go suddenly down toa specie basis, and that railroad shares will sell at prices approx- imatingto those of 186%. Moreover, tne net eurripgs of the roads are less adequate to pay dividends, as the expsnses of operation are very much enhanced. These gloomy views of the future prospeets of our railroads are not, however, universally held. There are per- sons who urge that, as the termination of the wer will op: to our industry and commerce once more the rmpoverished but fertile South, a stimulos will be given to our toternal trade, and & million of men being at ence set free trom the upprodu tive pursuits there will be an increase of business rather than a falling off, and the transition from war to may thns be made with few, it any, of severe financial convulsions which, in ether sour- ines Jess happily circumstanced, and posrs- fed of lower recuperative powers, have often aitended theciose of & vVASt military strug - gle, and the return of industry and capital to ibeir old and peaceful channels. The latter of these opinions seems to be gradnaily gaining power in Wall street, and the consequence is that the panic which bas so long ragedin the stock. market, has been succeeded by a steady and intermittent, thongh not very lively, ap- ward movement in the prices.
