THE SITUATION.


There is nothing new from Gen. Rosecrans' army
later than that already published. Our CORES
pcndents furnish some interesting details Of the
proceedings Of the army, but there are no new
movements Of importance to report.
From General Meade's army we learn that the
enemy have been concentrating heavy force
around Madison Court House. that on Fri
day night and Saturday morning they moved
out Of town in a northwardly direction.
A division Of infantry, a large body Of
cavalry and considerable artillery were occasion
ally seen by our signal men through openings in
the forest, which generally conceal the road. The
object of the movement could not at that time be
determined. IL appears that one Of General Xii.
patrick's cavalry brigadss attempted reconnois-
sancc on the south side Of Robertson's river, when
they were met by large body Of Stuart's
rebel cavalry. A fight ensued, continuing an hour,
when our troops fell back upon the infantry re.
serves. After another severe contest the infantry
were compelled to give way, and considerable
number of them were captured. A detachment Of
our cavalry then dashed upon the enemy, rotaling
nearly all the prisoners. Our entire force was
then pushed back toward Culpepper, skr.
mishing on the way and contesting every
foot Of ground. Heavy firing in the after.
noon Indicated that the contest had been renewed.
Mountain was nearly cut of, but the entire party,
with their property, escaped. This shows that
there must have been some hot work in this di.
reotion.
There is nothing later from Charleston.
We publish this morning o carefully pre-
pared map Of the republic of Mexico, show
ing the whole extent of the national terrific.
~ and the inhnitessimal part thereof now merely
touched by the French. Nothing can possibly
moro clearly show the emptiness Of the Frencl
claim that they have conquered the country. Tht
truth Is that they only hold military line, and
very dangerous one. from Vera Cruz to the city o.
Mexico. II 10 also important to know that other
din1oulties are threatening the French. They
have come to an open rupture with the church par
ty-the only one that has ever supported them
and one Of the regcnts--Ormaeehea Bishop o.
Tulancingo-has consequently resigned. In thu
meantime Juares ia every day growing stronger
