Monday Dec. -. IL A. NJ.
There was considerable firing yesterday be-
tween the advanced troops of the two armies
At one time the rebels showed disposition
to move upon Gen. Franklin's forces. Occa-
sionally the rebels would throw a few shells
among our troops just to remind us that they
were still there. With these exceptions ev-
erything was quiet. There was some Skin
mishing this forenoon, with considerable artil-
lery firing.
The body of Gen. Bayard left for Washing

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAC
December 15
The weather to-day has been clear and
warmer, with strong southerly wind. The
roads are in very good condition. The posi-
ton of the two armies remain nearly the same.
There was not much artillery firing this AFTER
noon by either party. Those shots the rebels
did fire were thrown into the city, The enc
my, who are in plain view, are not idle, but
busily employed in Strengthening their posi-
ton.
Most of our wounded were to-day removed
from the city to this side OF the river, as on
the renewal of the battle the rebel guns would
be likely to cause the destruction of the bridg-
es. Over 700 prisoners have been taken since
our army crossed the river.
