Pieces.

FROM MAsHINGTuN.


A gentleman, who reached this city to-
night from the Army of the Potomac, say 8
JEFF. Davis reviewed Lees troops yester-
day.
The roads are now in tolerably good
travelling condition.
News from Chattanooga, telegraphed
from Washington to the Headquarters Of
the Army Of the Potomac, as soon as it
became known to the soldiers, was received
throughout our now moving lines with the
widest delight and cheers. They are all
enthusiastic to follow the brilliant exa npie
Of their compstriots, and will very sooD
have that opportunity.
The Heralds dispatch, from the Head
quarters OF the Army Of the Potomac, in
the field, Nov. 26th, says.
The entire Army Of the Potomac is NOV
ing this morning, and before this can
reach you we shall have had ight, unless
the enemy shall have taken the hint and
moved towards Richmond. l never saw
the army in better spirits or condition.
Another Army Of the Potomac dispatch
to the Herald, the 26th, states that the
army moves at daylight. The rebels have
only strong picket force, with some ar
tillery, below Mitohell's Ford Their line
extends along the south bank of the river,
from the vicinity of Whites Ford to Mile
Run, where it bends to the south, following
the west bank of Mile Run, which is
strongly fortified.
At the foIds below Mile Run they merely
have small detschmeuts of troops, with
artillery, 10 prevent our scouting parties
from crossing, but it is possible since the
publication of Gen. Mesde's plan of move
ment and consequent suspension of the
movement, they have strengthened these
points, and will make desperate effort to
hold them.
A battle is expected at Germsnia Ford,
or at Jacobs Mills, perhaps at both.
The corps of A P. Hill has the left Of the
rebel line, and that Of EWell the right
Hills corps was reviewed by JEFF. Davis in
person on Tuesday, and EwelPs yesterday.
Information has been received Of 8 posi-
tive nature that the rebel General POsey
died from wounds received in battle at
Bristoe Station.
Ewell has been absent from his corps
for some time, from sickness, and it was
reported in the rebel lines to-day he also is
dead. Early is commanding his corps tenn
porarily.
On Monday Gen. Gregg moved his divi.
sion Of cavalry according to orders issued
on the evening previous. He crossed the
Rspidan at Ellis Ford with his whole COM
msnd, capturing few prisoners, and driv-
ing the rebel pickets back with some loss.
When he had perfected his crossing. he re-
ceived countermanding orders, and was OBJ
liged to recross to this side Of the river.
Another dispatch TO the Herald, Of the
same date, says at Manassas artillery fir
ing was heard during the morning, which
appeared TO be in the direction of one of
the fords on the Rspidan.
There is some mud, which to . limited
extent impedes the progress Of artillery
and supply trains, but the roads are cor
duroyed, 80 nothing has been stuck so far.
It is the first time for q long period that
the Army Of the Potomac has cut itself
loose from supply stations, and moved with
its supply train laden for long march.
Never has it been in a condition to move
with 80 great celebrity as now. Every
pound Of baggage and camp equipage, not
necessary for daily use, has been sent to
the rear. The westheris magnificent.
The last supplies for the present on the
line of the Orange and Alexandris Rail-
road, were issued to the army late last
night and early this morning the Depot
Comlnisssries and Quartsrmssters, with sll
their tenLs and camp equipage, we're sent
to Alexandria.
Richmond papers Ofthe Oath declare that
war is the sole policy of the South, and
mention with considerable bitterness the
fact that one or two papers in Georgia as
well as in North Carolina are advocates Of
peace.
The Examiner states that plot among
the Union prisoners to burn Richmond has
been discovered. Two thousand eight hun
dred prisoners had been sent to DsnVille,
and q large prison is being erected in
Georgia for their accommodation.
A Washington dispatch to the Herald
states that large amount Of cotton,
amounting it is believed to two million
bales, is reported to have accumulated at
Atlanta, Georgia, belonging to the people
and rebel government. 1t is expected that
General Grant intends making q rapid
movement on that point, and it will be diff.
fcult to remove any considerable portion
OF this cotton to secure it from capture.
