The Army OF tho Potomac all rlght.

Says the Fortress Monroe correspondent
Of the New York Commercial:
learn from the very bss: authority and
on most direct statement, that the move.
ments Of the past week are lust what Gen .
Mcclellan desired, and although much val
uabe life has been lost the advantage
gained has been enormous. To-day we are
in better position to advance successfully
than We were two weeks ago. The news
fem headquarters, which is up 10 ten
o'clock last night, Is Of the most cheering
kind.
The enemy were eoraered ia q place
where they supposed we were weak, and
brought under triple Gre, aud were con,
seqncutly slaughtered terribly. Oar gun
boats haye been at work for the past two
days, and with heavy rife aud smooth
bored guns have annoyed the enemy in a
manner they little thought for. Our loss
has been large, but that of The enemy has
been far greater. They have fought US
nearly three to one, butOur falling back has
been effected ia excellent order aud With a
view to place ourarmyin position which
General Mcclellan has desired.
