The Two Hostile Armies on the Potomac
A Decisive Battle Probably This Day.
Our dispatches yesterday from the Army Of
the Potomac were SO diverse and conflicting
that it was not until late hour Of the night
that we could come to any conclusion in regard
to them. Our very latest information "from
the 'front.'" however, justifes the opinion that
Lees army is still detained by the food in the
Potomac on this side the stream, that he will be
compelled to fight to secure his passage, and
that In all probability he will be brought to the
test Of battle to-day which will settle the fate
Of his army.
The forces Of General Meade were all up
and in position, and within semicircle behind
the army Of Lee so contracted - to leave
him no alternative but terrible effort to cut
his way through our lines or captulation,
provided always that he has not In the mean
time secured the necessary pontoons for safe
retreat over the river during the night.
We consider, in the meantime, all these re-
ports Of reinforcements from BeaureRard of
forty thousand men coming forward to Lee a.
sheer absurdities. After tho battle OF Chancel-
lorsville Lees effective army did not exceed
forty FIVE thousand men. He entered Pennsyl-
vania with ninety thousand, and the question,
how did he strengthen his army 10 this extent

mente.
1t would be waste Of time to attempt to re-
concile our various and dlscordant dispatches
in regard to the movements OF the enemy, and
Il would be useless, when within few hours we
shall have information which will put an end to
all doubts and conjectures. We expect set.
