VIOLENT S2Ow-SToRM. --Easter Sunday last
will be memorable for the most violent snow
storm ever known in this latitude, at this
late season of the year it began about four
0 clock on Saturday afternoon and continued
until twelve Of the following day. AT the
time the snow commenced TO fall the tempera-
ture of the earth was warmer than that of
the atmosphere, and it thawed as rapidly as
it fell. Before night, however, the ground
was covered, and the storm ragged with una
bated violence until about five o'clock, Sun
day morning, when there was short cessa-
ton. The temperature then grew warmer,
and the snow that fell afterwards soon dissoly-
cd The wind was high all night and the
snow drfted in places 10 the depth of eighteen
inches. After the storm ceased, the snow ra-
pidly disappeared and at night il had nearly
all gone-leaying the roads in the worst pos
sible condition. The weather still continues
wintry aud, as the season is becoming so far
adeaneed, it is probable when We ouce get
pleasant weather, it viii be more likely TO
continue

The Army of the Potomac.

The army of Gen. Meade and the army
Of Gen, sLeeare evidently engaged IN some
shrewd lnaheuvering at the present mo-
ment. Up to late day Lee, on the south
bank of the Rapidan, presented strong
front to the Army of the Potomac, but on
|, Tuesday last Jour cayalry advanced across
the Rpidan Us faf as Orange Court House
and founc no, signs of Rebels in any force.
When they withdrew, in what direction,
and with what object, is left to surmise =
Ii may be that they retired to Gordons-
vile. 1t is not within the limits of pro-
liability that they moved down the Rapi-
dan toward Fredericksburg or thH Lee
has devised any such strategical plan as
to draw the Army of.the Potomac to Cor
louisville, while, he attemptssa flank or rear
movement against it., Nor is it within
the limits of probability that he has
moved up, the Rapidan from his late posi-
tion, although the fact that he has all
along maintained small force, on the
north bank of the river, higher than the
position held by our army, and covering
the. important gaps of the Blue. Ridge,
through which the successive Rebel inya-
sions have poured, Indicate either that
Lee is anxious to keepus on the alert in
that quarter, or that he has designs there,
The most, simple theory is that the Rebel
army has fallen back upon, ,Gordonsville,
but it may not on that account be the
most accurate banaq. ,.yr.. 10 ..ay
. There are as yet no indications Of
Meade's policy That general was in
Washington yesterday, in consultation
With the authorities, as We are inform
ed by telegraph; aud the Post last night
had an announcement that his army
was undoubtedly moving upon Gordons-
vile, and it would surprise no one if "a
battle were fought between him, and Lee
before Sunday. .l,aa .iuop a.is u. ~.
adj We, have had too many dispatches late
ly proclaimiug that Lees army was. deple-
ted, until it would seem from some of the
accounts that he, has hardly a regiment
left. We know that these dispatches
come to the press from loyal hands, but
we greatly fear that they originate with
the enemy; and that if Meade were to
advance with an, inadequate. army, he
would find that neither EwelPs corps, nor
Hills, nor all of Longstreet's were in
Georgia, but that this, the main army of
the rebellion, has been kept up to nearly
'its maximum strength; Courage, lcaution
and skill are all needed by Gen. Meade in
this emergency. rr a.r e..it .p .
