NLw YORK, March -.
The HerLd's Washington despatch says
an advance was made by the centre Of our
army Of the Potomac On Thursday upon the
rebels, 10000 strong, on the road between
Manassas and Warrentou Junction, driving
them several miles towards Gordonsyille.
The Bridges and truck of the railroad were
all destroyed and torn up, hut our troops
were pursuing the enemy as rapidly as cir
cumstanc1s would permit.
The excursion, part of it, went out on the
Manassas Gap Railroad about miles beyond
the Junction, cutting away the fallen trees
and clearing away other distractions from
the track The road otherwise is in perfect
order and the water stations are uninjured.
They also proceeded on the road to Cor
d1nsville as far as Bristow's station at which
point the bridge over Broad River is des
troyed.
The following despatch has been received.
MANAssAs, March 2Sth.

Correspondence of The Cecil Wing

BALTIMorE, Oct 81, 1862
Mr. EDITOR Under the existing state
of the affairs of the country now, allow me
to speak through your valuable paper, of
one Department, which, unlike other De-
partments are being praised, both by the
press and officially, never has received one
item of praise, though due it. by the prompt
ness and accommodation Of those in its EN-.
ploy. mean the medical Purvcyor's De-
partment, Of the sth Army Corps. At its
head, and az the Medical purvcyor. stands
an old and valued friend Of the Union GOV.
eminent Dir. Charles c. Cox, who at the
commencement Of these great national
troubles stood among the FIRST in the profes.
sion in this city. Never has Government
had chance to find fault ever ready and
willing. He has served mis- country well
in this capacity. Long may he live to reap
the fruits of his patriotism. Under his able
dirccuous, with corps of good and steady
clerks of whom John I. Graham, well re-
mcmbcred Union man, stands as chief clerk,
assisted by W. W. Goldman, Jr, Invoice
and return clerk ; Edward A Read, ms order
aud pay clerk John s. Parker, as assistant
Invoice and return clerk X. Livingston, as
requisition and return clerk and John Nc
Carly, as messenger. With a corps Of able
and willing clerks at the store house, Hnder
tDe eHarGc Oh JOHN Turner, among WnOln
the most prominent are, Messrs. Henry
Chaplin and Irving \. Parmcntcr.
In the whole Department all but two are
soldiers in the army and having to work for
the benefit of our poor, wounded and sick
brothers early and late. In my judgment,
this Department merits % little praise, as
well as other Departments. Can say more !;
let those Surgeons who have so many, many
fines been accommodated at this Depart
ment, attest to the truth of the forgoing.
And Furthermore let me speak before clos
ing, of the many blessings aud comforts
granted to the poor, sick aud wounded sol
dicrs, by thatblcssed band. Of sisters, Who
under the name of the West End Union
Relief Association, have been among all
spreading consolation and comfort to many
a needy one. May God bless them all al
