THE ARMY OFTHE POTOMAC.

The n. Y. Tribune has the following from
the Army Of the Potomac:
Sour news from the Rappahannock is direct
and positive down to Tuesday last, at which
time one Of the editors Of this journal left the
Army Of the Potomac.
All reports Of movements since Gen. Hook
er recroSsed the river on the night OF May 9TH,
are wholly without foundation. The army:
after reaching the north side OF the Kappa
hammock, returned leisurcly to it's old camps,
and has occupied them ever since. General
Sedgwick has not recrossed with two corps or
one, or with any force whatever, nor has any
other commander or body of troops been be-
yond the lines Of the camps. So much for the
widely circulated reports with which the IN
ventive talent Of Philadelphia favored the
country on Saturday and Monday. When the
army does move and whittier it goes will prob
ably be known after it has started, and not
before.
The troops are in good spirits. Among the
rank and file there is certainly feeling OF dis
appointment at the retreat, but nothing which
can be called decentralization. 1t is difficult
perhaps for the army to understand why the
first campaign was abandoned, but they are
nevertheless entirely ready to begin another.
