The Tribune's correspondent Furnishes
the following fsets of Fridays battle:
In obedience to orders the Sd, followed
oy the 9th corps. on Thursday afternoon
crossed the Rspidan at Jacobs Mills with
10 opposition, except . shot or two from
f,w rebel videttes stationed at the ford.
On reaching the south side Of the river
these corps pursued the road leading to
Morton's ford, . mile above, when they
took a road to the left In order to strik BE
The road from Calpepper to Robertson
Tavern.
On Thursday night they rested nesr
Jones house, and yesterday m corning con-
tinued their march to effect a junction
with Gen. Wsrren's corps.
Gen. Princes division OF the Sd corps
was in the advance, and as the head Of
the column reached small clearing il
VAS greeted with volley from line o'
rebel skirmishers. The first brigade Of
the second division was thrown forward
into line, With the LIST Massachusetts, de-
ployed rs skirmishers, supported BY the
LIST and 81 divisions of the corps. The
lst Massac husetts advanced through d
dense thicket, fighting and pushing the
rebels back 10 the vicinity of Mile Ran,
when the enemy, Strengthening his line
gradually forced back our line.
Skirmishing continued till $3.50 P N.
when the enemy, with shouts and yells
charged the first line, consisting OF Gen
Princes division, the right of which FRS
tell back in some confusion, put soon raj

corps, twice IN succession calamity re-
pulsed the enemy. who were, in each in

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
Fun Account Of the Movements Of the
Army Of tho Potomac.

New York, Dec. 1.
The Tribune has the following, dated
Army of the Potomac, Saturday night.
This morning at l O'Clock our forces
were pushing forward in line of battle on
the Orange aud Fredericksburg Pike,
towards the first mentioned point, driving
The enemys skirmishers before them
This morning opened with rain storm,
but the whole army was on the advance
at an early hour. The 81 corps, which
crossed the Rapidan at Jacobs Mills,
Sad was engaged yesterday six miles from
Locust Grove on the road leading to Cul.
pepper. deployed to the left of our lines.
| The 9Th remained on the right and the
LIST ON the left of the 6 h. The Ell re-.
ained its position while the 9th deplbycd
from its first station on the left to Locust
Grove as the reserve Of the army. The
engagements of the Sd corps yesterday
will be referred to before closing.
Brisk skirmi.hing commenced as our
line reached point mile and half 10
the west of Locust Grove. Our forces
pushed steadily onward, however, driving
the enemy's skirmishers and fastening
their retreat by an occasional shell fro,n
our battery's to which the guns Of the en-
eny did not reply.
Gen. Meade aud staff came up at an
early hour to Roberts,n's tavern. The
headquarters train was ordered back out
of range. Long trains of ammunition
wagons and ambularces we're moving to
the front, and every thing indicated gen
eral engagement, should Lee fall into po-
sition. and should ihe weather be favora.
bic. The rain continues to fall at inter-
walls, but still the troops pressed forward
and the skirmishing still went on as be.
fore, the rebel line gradually falling back
until it had reached the western bank of
Mile Run. two and half miles from the
tavern, and short distance from old Yer
diefsville. Hero evidences of the inten-
ton of the enemy to dispute the passage
of the run were had; earthworks and bat
teries we're visible on the clearing beyond,
and Gen. Meade accordingly disposed
his forces along densely wooded crest of
hills east of the run. Owing to the diff
Guilty of moving artillery, aud even in.
fantry, through the woods on either side
OF the road, some time elapsed before the
formation of our line.
Night soon came on. Beyond the
firing of tina pickets and an occasional
shell from our lines, nothing of impor-
lance has transpired. :.
The army o. Gen. Meade occupies
section Of what Is termed the wilderness.
Many discredit the story that Lee will
give battle this side of Orange Court
House or Gordonsville.

Reports from Bealton Station confirm
the reports of heavy firing yesterday.
The engagement of the 81 corps on Fri
day last i, said to have been exaggerated,
especially as to the number of rebel ptis
oners taken, which was far less than sta

believed to be 800.

are not credited, on the contrary it is said
he is strongly posted on Mile Run.
