Chapman’s Despatch. Heapquanrens, Any OF 1u8 Potomac, Dec. 2, 1863. ‘THR FALLING BACH OF THE ARMY, ‘The public need not be surprised when the ansounce- ment te made that the Army of the Potomac, which set en six days ago, full of high hopes, and with every pro- mame of success, ia back again upon its old stamping (pound, worn, tired and weary. My last despatch was sent on Monday night iast, from the Geld, south of the Rapidan, and I hoped then tbat my Bext would be written at Orange Court House, or at least a8 far away as the wost bank of Mlwe river, ‘I belleved then that General Meade’s Plane and combinations could not bo other than sucoestfal; and the reasons for that faith you will see ‘when you read the story. ‘7up REASON YOR THE MOVEMENT. all day on Saturday and Sunday General Meade and his @erps commanders were eogaged in devising means to oust the ecemy from bis position om the western slope of ‘Mine river. it bad been demonstrated that he was tco strongly posted to warrant us in making & direct assault ‘pen his works, even though we should outoumber bim two to one, THE REBEL FoSrmoR. Lat me'@encribde his position, Mine river is a stream of Derhape ten fect in width, but very shallow, if we judge Dy whe depth of clear water, but very deop when we qom0t in the mad et ite bottom, At ite aides, extending Severa) rods vack, is a low marsh, miry and reed-grown. rom the edges of the marsh the laud rises gradually to a Beight of perhaps hundred feot. A baif mile back from either. shore these slopes are open, and in many places cultivated patches of young pines dot the slopes, apd extend back to the dense woods ‘which crown the summits.of the hills. The rup rises @omewhe-e south of the gid plank rosd, aad tows lazily Rorthward to the river, in nearly a straight line. ‘The enemy had for tified the western slope by a strong earthwork at ite summit, ip front of which felled trees and throbbery and brush fUrmed an impenetrable ebattio; (hey bad slso dug a succession of pits baif way ep the slope, within easy musket range of the creek, and another sories of the same style of defences at the @ommencoment of the abattix. His line of defences ex- fended from Ciark’s Mountain, south of the Plunk road, te the mouth of the stream, and was fully supported by Qatillery, avd was, in fact, said by military men tobe ®@ stronger position than he held at F redericksburg THE romTION OF OUR FORCES. Our own artillery was planted upon the side of the @aatern slope, a few rods down from the edge of the tim. Der, while our infantry were covered from view by the ‘hick wood. In order to successfully operate upon the @memy with jofantry, it became necessary to bridge the @treams and morase in several placee—a work you will Imagice to be both difficult and dargerous, It was done, Bowever, by the fret divisions of the Firet and Third corps respectively. OUR POMTON ON SUNDAY RVYENING. Darkness founa wa, on Sunday night, in the following Prsition —The Second corps was on the extreme le’t, in tee vioinky of Clark's Mountain, reinforced by one division @f the Sixth corps, The left centre was held by the Third eorps: the centre by tw divisions of the Firat, and the ‘Wight by the Fifth and the remaining two divisions of the Brat corps. ‘WHY THE A TACK WAH AB\>DONED, Gen. Warren was to hve attacked and turned the qmomy's right wing at three o'clock in the afternoon. ‘Tee Fifth and Sixth, under Sykes and Sedgwick, were, at ‘the meme time, to attack bis left, while the Third and First were 10 make « demonstration upow his coutre. ‘The reserves of artillery had all been brought forward and jositioned ready for action; but, for some resson, General Warren failed to connect, and night slipped in epon us, ali drawn up in lise of Battle. T at might o @hance wit ma @ in the program General Warreo Gid not deem bie force adequate to the task of torning , the ememy's right, co Be wee still further reinforced By two divisions of the Third corps, under Generals Carr and Prince, while Birney, with bie division of the same @arps, was to support the artillery. TER ATIACE AGAIN APPORFTED FOR WORDAY MORNTRG.

ORES WRLOKEM AGAIN IN THR FULD, Amaw he pedente of Pe campaign | msy menihe that General Thomas Francie Meagher was a guest wb hie old Irish brigade, and wish thom went through the fights of each day. ‘THR MARPLOTS OF Tine ARMY. T cannot close thie despateh without calling attention 10 the netérious fact thas there ts a class of men counected wh tho army who will spait the best matured plane of cam paign, let them be made by whom they may. Ire- fer to a act of umprine! correspoudente who, in order to be abead, will givé to tne public all the informa- toa of which they may be possessed, ket the consequences be what they may. To illastrate:—When General Meado's army left Brandy Station, on ite late march, I was requested by (he Adjutant General of the army not to tranamit to the Hmaatp any news of the Movement, in any way whatever, patil it had culminated $0 either success or defeat, The same request was made Of all other correspondents in the army; and 40 careful wan General Meade that no news should be trans- mitted that he sent his only message to tbe Presi- dont in telegraphic eypher, amd issued strict orders that mo persons be allowed %0 ¢ross the river to the rear. T communicated this desire to the Hxnaun corps, and they faw the necessity of tts be! respected. Consequently we retained our news until wo had permission to send it, ‘while others paid no attention whatever to it; and I find, on returning, they have published their accounts of the campaign ich, though erroneous, were the best they could gather from sneaking deserters and etraggiors. Nowe of the parties whose dispatches have appeared have been seen at the front during {he movement; and, from the garbled character of the reports they heve sent, together with tho fact of their getting them through at all, it ie more than probable tbat the information was obtained at the happahanneck Station by the pumping process, ap- hed to the escort of cavalrymen who ecoympanied General Meade’s despateh to the rear. ‘The correspondent of the Agsrciated Prose and the Heasip corps are the only parties who have respected General Meade’s request. Mr. William Y oung’s Despatches. Rarramarnocn Station, Va., Dec. 2, 1863. ‘There are rumors, which may prove well authentica- ted, that General Meade ie gradually coutractiog bis lines, having accomplished in part the object of his extensive and extended reconnoissance, and that Brandy Station will be the base of suplies fer tbe main portion of this army. ‘To Dight rumor assigns three reasons for this reported movement—one, that Leo declives a battle on the south tide of the Rapidan, another, that he is attempting flark movement, with a view of bringing on the annual Bull run fight; another, that vance is impracticable, Owing to the condition of the roads and the lateness 0: the sean. ‘The establishment of a supply dopot at Brandy Station does pot strengthen the impression that Lee js moving towards Centreville. ‘The latest advices from the front represeut that the men in our ranks were never in better spirits and more anxious that a general engagement abould be brought on than now, being perfectly confident of success if a decisive battle can be fought. Rarpanannocn Stanion, Va., Dec. 2-7 P. M. Depots of supplies will be established at Brandy Btation tonight. Feveral traine with forage and subsisteuce stores jeft Alexandria early this evening, and are now on their way ap. Alexander Houston, one of the TMxnaLp correspond. , hag not been captored by gueriliaa, as. has been reported. Our Washington Despatches. Warmneron, Dec. 2, 1863, ... Tbe return of General Mende’s army to Brasdy Station, for | renewal of supplies, bes disappointed many bere, ‘who hoped the recent movement would have resulted in the annihilation of the rebel army of Virginia. ‘The retrograde movement ie accounted for by the al- most impassable condition of the rosds south of the Rapidan, and the” impossibility to supply by wagons an army of the size of Genera) Meade's over such Toads for @ distance of thirty or forty mien. ‘The return to Brandy Station was consummated to day. The condition of the roads forbids the prospect of another forward movement this winter. No mails bave been sent to the Army of the Potomae since Friday last,nor bave any been received, with the exception of a small package from general headquarters Mail communication, ft te expected, will be re established this week. Wasmnaton, Dec, 2, 1863. ‘The trains are making their regalar trips on the Orange aod Alexandria Riilroad as far out as Rappabaunock Sta- ton «The road has not been disturbed.
