Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette ]
WASHINGTON, July 16.
The Grand Army has at last crossed
the Potomac in due form, and We may
believe that the great Southwark move
ment has been inaugurated. Heaceforth,
rapid and decisive movements are to be
anticipated. and the enemy's strongholds
are no longer to remain unssssiled. The
utter rout Of the rebels in Northwestern
Yirgipie has inspired with new ardor our
oor- in this vicinity. who have been
eha6ng at the long delay in their onward
march, inspiring them with buoyant
hopes of winning still brighter lsurels
than their brethren beyond the mountains.
The formal movement across the Po-
tomac was inaugurated on gigantic scale
to-day. At an early hour the troops
were mustered in every camp, and their
arms and accoutrements put in the finest
order. The bands played their most in.
spiriting airs. and thousands of citizens
and strangers poured forth to witness
the imposing spectacle. About one o.
clock Gen. Scott and staff crossed the
river. precedin gmost of the regiments.
sight was most impressive and grand. The
The aged General seemed to have renew
ed bis youth. His snowy locks were the
only evidence of his venerable age. His
eyes sParkled with the FIRE which conf
dence alike in the justice and triumph OF
his cause had enkindled. and his almost
giant stature rendered him conspicuous
among the officers around him. The
stranger could not mistake the Chief.
The demonstration considered only as
q pageant was most successful, and the
public are nearly as enthusiastic IS over
the news of some hotly contested battle.
All seem to feel that the Rubicon has
now been passed and the war actually be-
gun.
There are at present fifty-fve Regi-
ments between the Potomac and Fairfax
Court House. The Ohio Regiments are
with the most advanced columns.
Breckinridge's speech to-day was bold,
fearless and severely denunciatory Of the
Administr alton.
As an oratorical effort it was fine. at
teacting an audience far exceeding the
capacities of the Senate Chamber. The
alleged unconstitutional acts of the Presi-
dent were the burden of his remarks. He
proclaimed his opposition to the war
and his belief in the propristy of the ulti-
mate destruction of this system of Gov
erment.
Mr.. Burnett, in the House. delivered a
speech of more more violent character.
Union men continue to arrive here to-
day. being forced out Of Virginia by the
new levy of the rebels for troops. =
Some of the late Gen. Garnett's friends
have telegraphed here for some of his
supposed relatives to have the body for.
warded, as they are all in the seeded
States.

ANOTHER "SKEDADDLE."-"Sk Skedad.

invented purposely to describe the mill.

to the subject. Run. scsmper, fly, and
all such terms. are too tame for the occa.

cisely. Our readers, therefore, may know
why we make such frequent use of the
word.
Last week, the traitors of Atchison,
Holt and Andrew Counties collected to
make an attack upon St. Joseph. 1t was
said that JEFF. Thompson had sent them
word to meet him at . stated time, to
take the city. Andrew sent her quota

E. Glass, the traitor Mogul of Atchison,
with another gang. Arrived at Oregon,
these two worthy drirers (not leaders,
for leaders 60 oefore) sent their dupes on,
while they remained behind. The seces-
sionists, to the number of some 500, col.
lected in the vicinity of Rochester, in
Andrew County. where they encamped,
to await orders. But in the night, some
one brought the report that the troops
from St. Joseph were upon them. and
about to surround them. Then began a
scene rarely witnessed. The officers told
tho men to fly. and take care of them
selves-and fly they did. strsgglers came
into Oregon early the next morning,
and continued to arrive during the day,
and the night following-all bringing
thrilling reports Of the miraculous escape
they had made. At length one revealed
the facts confdentially to friend. When
asked why they did not fight somebody.
at all events, he replied that they couldn't
find crowd small enough to attack. as
they didn't like to risk it with large
company as beginner! So ended the
"Skedaddling' expedition against St.
Joseph.

BLOCKED THEIR GAME.-Last week, iii
not at present, guards were nightly sta
toned about Forest City, to prevent some
spprehended mischief. Upon certain
night, one of the guards discovered bug
gy coming towards his post. from the di.
rec.ion oftown. Upon nearer approach,
he discovered in the buggy an active seces-
sionist of Forest, and at his feet were ly-
ing two well-flled p,liow-cases. The
sentinel commanded halt, which he en-
forced by elevating his rife and cooking
it. Upon examination, he found the pill
low-cases to be filed with powder. there
being as much as four kegs in all. Coolly
seizing the sacks, the sentry remarked that
that was the article be had been wanting
for long time. and now he meant to
take care of it. And he did con6scate it
for his own use, notwithstanding the war
like demonstrations of the traitor. The
powder has probably by this time been
parcelled ont to the Union men of the
County. There is little doubt that it
was portion Of the twelve kegs which
the traitors had stolen from . traveller,
and that it was being conveyed to those
who were preparing to march upon st.
