From the Army Of the Potomac,

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The Philadelphia
Enquirer's army correspondent says that
Gen. Buford returned, on Monday night, to
the vicinity of Brandy Station, having ad-
vanced to within four miles Of Culpepper,
where he met, on Sunday night, Wilcox's
corps. of Hills division, with whom he had
q sharp fight, lasting twohours. He drove
the rebels some distance and picketed the
ground, but, being short of forage and sup
plies. he retreated to the main body of the
army. In this fight, Lieut.. j. A. Stevens,
of the Sth Illinois cavalry, was wounded
The LIST brigade, under Col. Chapman, OF
the Sd Indiana cavalry, which was princi-
fortv to fifty men killed and wounded
Rebel loss unknown. They left five dead
on the field. They buried several men and
carried off meny wounded. On Monday
morning the rebels retired towards the
Rapidan.
Buford, before returning, sent on de-
tachment to Culpepper, who found no reb-
els in that vicinity. The superstition is,
that all of Lees army is across the Rapi-
short distance beyond Culpepper, and to
the left Of the Railroad, as signal station,
whence they can discover the movements
of our army to advantage.
Gen. Buford found the Railroad unin-
jured to Culpepper, and it was believed to
be in good condition to the Rapidan.
The Washington correspondent of the n.
Y, Commercial says that an order has been
issued permanently relieving Gen. Heint-
zelman from the command of this Depart
ment, and placing Gen. Anger, who has
been temporarily acting, in his place. Gen
Heintzellnan has been assigned to no new
command, and probably will not be for a
long time to come. There is no reason yet
made public for his removal.
The President, seconded in his efforts by
Colonel Hoffman, of the Exchange Bureau
here, and Gen. Meredith the Commissioner,
are instituting earnest measures for the re-
lief of our suffering soldiers in Richmond.
The clothing which we have forwarded,
had reached them, and the rebels have
promised faithfully that every thing else
will be delivered. 1t is now proposed to
send then be necessaries OF life in the pro:
vision linU Gen. Meredith will forward
anything for the present, to any prisoners
in Richmond, civil or military, along with
bundles forwarded by the Government.
An effort will also be made to see if the
rebels will not parole the men held by them
for~exchange, ii they can't feed them. Nc
one can see why they should starve them to
death, when it is so easy to parole them.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE general
mainly unchanged. Gen. Buford just
passed Culpepper and reconnoitered the
enemy's position on the Rapidan.
From acquisitions and an invoice picked
up in the late rebel camps, it appears
there was no scarcity of the necessaries
of life in Lees army. Sugar was l23c per
pound; flour lOc; beef loo; bacon 81. Salt
was regularly issued to horses and mules.
Ewells and Hills corps was entrenched
nearly parallel to the Rappahannock on
Saturday, the right resting below Kelly S
Ford, and the next near Rixerville, on the
Aestanis river. Evidence also exists of
their precipitate retreat, owing to General
Meade's mastery movements.
