Grants Victor es Complications
ston tries TO Unite his Forces
Grant Crowds him too Close.

NNEw YORK, May 23.-A correspondent
from the Army of the Potomac of the
2lst, to the Tribune, says the rebels are
in excellent condition.
A movement is on foot either to cross
the river and give US battle near that
point or else cross at Kelly's Ford and
Rappahannock Station, and drive in our
forces in that direction and thus compel
our army to change its base
Deserters state that Lee feels able to
crush our army in its present condition,
and can easily drive US into the defenses
around Washington or destroy or cap
ture it. He will find himself mistaken
The railroad to Richmond is reported
in complete running order.
A large number of officers are leaving
on furlough.
The IT16une'S Washington dispatch
says that information was received late
this evening that Grants victories on
Friday and Saturday were complete at
all points.
The Richmond papers of the Dist con-
tain details of the defeat of Pemberton
and the falling back of the entire force
northward.
Johnston was endeavOring to bring the
rebel forces together to make a stand,
but Grant pursued him so holly that he
was unable to and was completely out
generated.
The latest rebel dispatches state that
Grant was on the point of attacking
Johnston

I HAVE RECEIVED AN APPOINTMENT
i from the Governor Second Lieutentt raise

at Esquire Crisp's, on Third street, nearly oppo-
site the Court House, where may be found from
half past seven O'Clock in the morning till eight
O'Clock in the evening, except during meal hours
Persons enlisting in said Regiment will be en-
titled TO receive the ordinary bounty of One Hun
dred Dolars-twenty- dollars of it in advance
also one months pay in advance, when regularly
mustered into the service of the United States.
premium of two dollars will be paid for each
accepted recruit.
Clothing, arms, &C., will be furnished to volun-
teers as soon they mustered into the servi O.
There is a fair prospect of the 91st Regiment be-
ing mounted, Lieut.. Colonel Mehringer being now
engaged in efortsfor that purpose; and the proba-
bility is that it will be kept in and about the
region of country in Kentucky where it has been
operating for the past eight months
Further particulars may be obtained at the re
cruiting office.
The CONSUMPTION Act will certainly be put in
operation soon; and to all patriotic men it is more
desirable TO enter the service as volunteer than
as drafted man. ROBERT ROWLAND,
