While our arms have been almost
uniformly successful on the Scahoard
and a; the West, in Central Virginia
we have failed, generally, of making
permanent stand, back of the Poto-
mac river.
Our latest intelligence indicates a
series of bloody conflicts. The foe,
emerging from the RappahannOck,
has failed in his grand design of cut
ting in twain our forces, We Judge 10y
the reports.
Il is to be hoped our lines of forii'
fications NAV hold the foe in check
and save the Capital, and the towns
and fields of Pennsylvania, until the
400 900 fresh Union soldiers can be
sent against them.
We give what appear 10 be the most
reliable dispatches, to Monday noon,
indicating both successes and losses
to our arms.
