the most vociferous cheers and enthusi-
asm.
A fugitive from village on the Orange

Gordonsvillc, came into the camp of the
Ira Harris cavalry, o-day. He states that
there were forty thousand rebel troops in
town when he left, and that they contin-
ued to pour in wildly and huniedly, under
the impression that the Uuiou army was
in pursuit of them. Gen. johnson, and
other rebel officers, were dining at the tav-
ern when he left. He states that the road
from Rappahannock to Manassas is strew-
ed with muskets, kpapsacks, haversacks,
blankets and provisions, flung away in the
retreat, and that numbers of soldiers lay
faintipg and exhausted by the roadside.

Gen. Hooker was of the opinion at o.
clock to-day, that the rebels had not aban-
loned Fredricsburg. The firing from Az
liza Creek batteries last night, seems to
confirm the opinion.

II. ST.. LOUIS, March 15.
Brig. Gen. Pope, in dispatch to Gen
Halleck, says:
Our success of New Madrid has beer
even greater than was reported. Twenty
pieces of heavy artillery, consisting of "a
Founders, and rifled 80 Founders, two bat
teries of field artillery, an immense amount
of fixed ammunition, several thousand
small arms, hundreds of musket cartridges.
three hundred mules and horses, tents for
an army CT 10000 men, and an immense
quantity of other property of not less val
ue than one million dollars, has fallen into
our hand. Their men only escaped.
The enemy's whole force is demoralized
and dispersed in the swamps on the eppo
site side of the river.
The enemy abandoned their works so hur-
riedly as to leave all the baggage of their
officers and the knapsacks of the men,
their dead unburried, their suppers on the
tables, and candles burning in their tents.
A furious thunder storm which ragged
all night enabled the enemy to get across
the river without being discovered.
Our heavy battery, was erected during
the night of the 18th, thin 800 yards
of the enemy's works, and opened on the
l5thinst.; "a hours after the guns were
delivered tc US at Cairo.
During the whole day of yesterday, our
lines were drawn closer around their works
under furious fire of go pieces of artie-
ry. The fear of an assault on their works
at daylight induced them TO fly preciptate
ly during the night.
Many prisoners have been taken, also
the colors of the several Arkansas rcgi-
ments. Our loss is about so killed and
wounded. rsr
Hollins was in command of the fleet,
and Cons. McCann, Stuart, and Gnatt,
were in commond of the land forces.
The gunboats went down the river.
Gen. Pope has 25 heavy guns planted
in the enemy's works, which command ev-
ry part of the river.

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, March IA. {
Soldiers of the Army of the Potomac
for long time l have kept you inactive
but not without purpose. You were to
be disciplined, armed and instructed. The
formidable artillery you now have had tt
be created. Other armies were TO move
and accomplish certain results. | have
held you back that you might give deatl
blow to the rebellion which has distracted
this once happy country. The patience
You have shown. and your confidence in
| your General, are worth dozen victories.
These preliminary results are now accom-
plished. l feel that the patti Mt labors Of
many months have produced their fruit
The army of the Potomac is now real
army, magnificent in material, admirable
in discipline, and aimed. Your comman-
ders are all that could wish. The mo-
ment for action has arrived, and know
that can trust in you to save your coun-
try. AS l ride through your ranks l see
in your faces the sure prestige of victory.
| feel that you will do whatever | ask of
you. The period of inaction is passed. l
will bring you face to face with the rebels,
and only pray God may defend the right.
In whatever direction [ may move, how
ever strange my actions may appear to
you, ever bear in mind that my fate is
linked with yours, and all do is to bring
you where | know you wish to be, on the
decisive battle field. 1t is my business 10
place you there. l am to watch over you
as a parent over his children, and you
know your General loves you from the
depths of his heart. 1t shall be my care,
as it has ever been, to gain success with
the least possible loss; but l know that
if it is necessary you will willingly follow
me to our graves for our righteous cause.
God smiles upon US. victory attends US,
yet would not have you think that our
aims are to be obtained without manly
struggle. l will not disguise it from you
that you have foes to encounter, brave foe
men well worthy of the steel which you
will use so well. l shall demand from
you great and heroic exe:tions, rapid and
long marches, desperate combats and pri-
vations. We will share all these together,
and when this sad war is over, we will all
return to our homes and feel that we can
ask no higher honor than the proud con-
sciousness that we belonged TO the Army
of the Potomac. (Signed)
@ GEO. B. MCCLELLAN.

GEN. Fremont was displaced from an impor-
tant command in the West because Of serious
charges preferred against him. Before he has
trial on those charges, SO that the world may
know whether he is guilty or innocent, he is
given another command, To say the least of it
this seems to us like very loose way of doing
business. We believed Fremont innocent, but
should like to have had him publicly declared
so' Until he was, he should have refused any
position at the hands of those who originally
had him superssdei

able TO learn from. different sources.
REBEL PANIC WITHOUT CAUSE. s.
The retreat was we'll conducted in a
quiei way until Monday noon, when the
rear guard became panic stricken and fed
in confusion. The railroad bridge below
Manassas was fired about noon by mistake,
and when those remaining heard of it, the
last remaining engine which could have Ia
ken all the best of the stores, was blown
up and the cars fired. Then they scat
tered every man for himself, and in the
panic but part of the buildings were fired,
and but part of the tents; among the
"left" were dozen cassions-the horses
belonging to them having died, therefore
they could not take the guns by the COM
mon road. -, --.r-.-.,
WHAT REBELS WERE PERMITTED TO DO.
The rebel General Stuart was at Gaines
vile last night, with the rear of his army,
moving swiftly on, impressing all the slaves
and driving them on to work on the new
Notifications. Numbers of men suspect
ed of Union sentiments, have also been car
ried away.
RAILROAD DESTROYED IN SIGHT OF Nc
CLELLAN's ARMY.
This morning about tea, the first bridge
north of Manassas junction was fired, on
the road to Strasburg, via. Manassas Gap.
The smoke could be distinctly seen from
here. After while another fire showed
that another bridge was going; and so on,
until near two o'clock did the fires success
lively start up. The last one was burning
near manassas Gap at p. m. The road
is consequently destroyed. The work was
done by the party starting from near the
Junction, and, riding rapidly along, firing
each one in succession.
