From MecLELLAN,s ARMY.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC.
May pa bridge five hundred feet long
over South Anna Creek, one of the tributaries
of the Pamunkey river, on the line of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac rail-
road, was burned this morning by the sixth
cavaly. This cuts off all communication by
railroad between Richmond and Jacksons
command. The fifth cavaly went to Ashland
eighteen miles from Richmond, on the same
road, and burned all the enemy's commissary
and quartermasters supplies which they had
stored there, which will be severe loss to the
rebels
The Richmond Enquirer of Saturday says,
''We are now looking to Gen. johnson with
great interest, and not without some solicit
tude He has just beautifully executed some
very judicious retreats. We are now anxious
to see him display the more positive qualities
of military commander. The time has come
when retreat is no longer strategy, but disas-
ter. 1t must therefore give place to battle.
We have no idea that jackson contemplates
retreat. We are perfectly satisfied he does
not. We verify believe that if he did con-
template retreat, he would find himself una
BILE to execute it. The temper of the army
would not allow it. The men, weary of toll
some and disastrous marches and pri-
vatiOns, almost clamor to be led against
the enemy. The march from Manassas,
and next from Williamsburg, thinned our
ranks more than as many battles would
have done. The campaign has ripened for
battle, and the battle is at hand. What we
need now at the head of the army is the clar-
ion call, and the battle shall be bold and en-
thusiastic." The same paper complains of
the high price of provisions, and calls upon
farmers to bring in their vegetables.
Great numbers of officers and soldiers are
now absent, Con pretence of sickness,) idling
away their time in northern cities and towns.
The army is on the eve of decisive BATTLE
when every man should be at his post. Let
the citizens ask such the cause of their alb
sence from the army of the Potomac, and if
the reason be not satisfactory, show them up
as unworthy associates and disgrace to the
uniforms they appear in.
Upwards of 500 rebel prisoners have been
received at headquarters from the scene Of the
late brilliant victory at Hanover Court House,
and they left this morning for fortress Mon
roe. More are still coming in.

A L lie r g h n g.
BEFORE CoRINTH, May 2S.-Three strong
reconnoitering columns advanced this morn
ing, from Gen. Thomas on the right, Gen.
Bnel on the center, and Gen. Pope on the
left, for the purpose of feeling the enemy
and unmasking his batteries. The enemy
contested his ground holly at each point, but
was driven back with considerable loss.
General Pope's column encountered the
strongest opposition, and there we lost twen-
ty-fve in killed and wounded. The enemy
left thirty dead on the field. We captured
several officers and privates. Although the
enemy disputed the passage of the creek
bridge sharply, we hold possession on the
southern side.
In some instances our advanced line of
skirmishers are within gunshot of the enemy's
entertainments. Indeed, so near are we that
prominent officers believe the enemy will at
tack us at daylight tomorrow. The affair is
considered a decided success in a military
point of view, we having gained a very strong
position right in the teeth of the enemy.
The officer killed at the battle of Farming
ton, on the 9th inst, supposed to be General
Price, was Colonel Ingraham, of Van Dorn's
staff. Prisoners report the arrival of General
Lovels army at Corinth last night
HALLECK's HEADQUARTERS, May 29.-Con-
trary to expectations, the rebels did not open
on us this morning, but Gen. Pope opened fire
on the rebel battery, which the enemy return
ed with l2-pounders.
After an hours Smelling, the rebels pulled
down the flag over their battery, hauled their
guns back, and our forces at this hour occupy
he position.

WHO WAS HE3

A capital story is told us of an old farmer in
the northern part of this county, who had been
''saving up to take up mortgage OF $4,000
held against him by a man nearer the sea shore.
The farmer had saved up all the money in gold,
fearing to trust the banks in these war times,
Week before last he lugeed down his gold and
paid it over, when the following colloquy ensued:
ssWhy you don't mean to give this $200O
in gold, do you?" said the Lenders
Eyes, certainly" said the farmer II was
afraid of the pesky banks, so I've been saving
up the money, in yellow boys, for you, this long
time" d.D }-eff AtF
ssAll right" responded the lender, s'only
thought you didn't take the papers, that's ALL"
'sTake the papers! No sir, not /. They have
gone on so since the wars been agoing, that
won't have one of the dish things about.
But the money is all right, isn't it ?" .,..t
ssYes, all right, $4,000 in gold. All right,
here's your bond and mortgage Z A 's's
And well he might have called it all right,
as the premium on gold that day was ~ per
cent, and his gold was not only worth the face
of his bond, but $40 besides, enough to have
paid for his village newspapers for himself and
posterity for at least three centuries. 1t pays
to take the papers.---lNoricalldCt Gu Gas. y g Hs
-esDont YOU mean to marry, my dear sir ya
s.No. my dear miss; I'd rather lose all the riba
I've got than take another"
