WASHINGTON, May 3o.-EAssociatad Press
Dispatch. l-4entlemen who arrived here TO-
night from the Rappahannock, say that large
columns OF tie enemy are in motion, and were
traced yesterday by the lines Of dust on the rear
oil their river front, where one considerable
body was moving southwark. The prepcnder-
ance OF masses appeared to be going in the d.
rection OF kelly;s Ford and Culpepper. The
Rebel infantry guard at Banks, United States
and keliy's Fords has been considerably in
creased within the past day or tuo, which is
construed i'll some quarters as a rnSe to cover
the movement Of a raid by Stuart via Culpep.
per.
Gov. Blair OF Michigan paid visit to Gen
Hooker yesterday accompanied by several la
dies and gentlemen. They We're courteously
and warmly received by the General.
1t Is believed that the enemy preparing 10
demonstrate somewhere on our line. The

rusc TO draw attention from some other point

O'Clock there had been bns lIs votes cast. OF
which about 100 were fof Mr.. Dixon: and in tn.
second precinct $50 votes had been cas-, OF
which 10 were for Dixon. This ward has been
unusually quiet, nothing having occurred to
cause tl.e interposition Of the police, excepting
8 single knock down. One man standing near
the poll, Of tne second precinct handed another
man Richards ticket and ii was immediately
TORN ny. The fret man made some remarks
and struck at the other, who hauled of and
the asssilan, measured his Length on the pave
ment. The police, however, intertered, and
order was restored.
In the first precinct of the Second Ward 1s3
votes had been polled up to haH-past two
O'Clock. of which 1t is conceded MI. Dixon and
his ticket have lGU votes, and the Richards
ticket IS votes. In the second precinct of this
ward 2Ia votes have been polled, Mr. Dixon
iunniHc tar ahead-at least three TO one.
In the first precinct Of the Third " ard, I83
votes have been rolled, Mr. Dixon being -
ahead. The Council ticket here is pretty we'll
cutup. In the second precinct l5a votes have
been polled a small majority being claimed for
mr.. Richards.
In the first precinct OF the Fourth Ward 1872
votes have been poiled, Of which 1t is conceded
Mr.. Dixon has two-thirus, or I2S. In this pre-.
cinct renewed efforts were made to vote on

second precinct go had been polled, the Rich
ards men claiming 55 votes for their ticket.
In the Fifth Ward, first precinct, there had

hour. In the second precict however, Mr..
Dixon vas about % votes ahead-131 votes be.
ing polled. In this ward the voting was very
light, and but little interest seemed to have
been taken. II is expected that the most of the

In. the first precinct OF the Sixth Ward to
that hour only 81 votes had been poiled Dixon
81 and Richards '3l; and in the second precinct
2D7, of which Mr.. Richards had received about

decidedly SO at the second precinct.

OUR OUTER LINES WITHIN ONE HUNDRED
YARDS OF THE REBEL WORKS.
NO APPREHENSION OF AN ATTACK ~ TIE
REAR

CINc1NNATI, June The Commercial has
full particulars OF the operations of General
Grants army up to the 22d ult.
When our army advanced on Eicksburg it
was confident of an easy conquest of the piace;
but the ground in the rear of the city was
found 40 broken and rugged as TO be aimos:
impossible by artillery, and the rebel fortificn-
tons, which were very formidable, being grass
grown, showing that preparations had long
since been made to stand 4 siege upon the land
side.
The main Notifications consist of chain Of
forts about eight hundred yards apart, connect
ed by deep entertainments and extending ven
miles.
Our loss in the assault on the s2d ult. was
about two thousand.
Il was the opinion that another general as.
sault would not be ordered, but tina. the city
would be taken by regular siege approaches.
The Gazette has adyices up to the 9th ult,
through a staff officer of one OF Grants Gene
rails, who left for Washington last evening.
Three assaults have been made by our forces, in
all of which they were repulsed. The last
assault was made by Gen. Sherman, with
twenty thousand men. We lost six hundred
killed and a large number OF wounded
Our outer line was within one hundred yards
of the rebel works. Our sharpshcoters could
prevent the rebels from working their guns.
The rebel works near the city ere far more
formidable than those in front.
Johnston is in the neighbcrhood OF Jackson
with about fifteen Thousand men, short of pro-
visions and ammunition.
No apprehensions are felt Of Any serious at
tack on our rear.
This officer states that Grant has taken eighty
four hundred prisoners and eight: -four pieces
OF artillery.

HEINDCCES MANY OF THEM TO REENLIsT
THAT PORTION OF THE EIGHTEENTH ARMY
CORPS IN SOUTH CAROLINA DESIRE
TO RETURN TOTHEIR OLD COM
MANDER GEN FOSTER

NEwRERS, n. c., May .a-On the 9. tn inst
Major General Foster visited the camp of the
nine months men, and made an eloquen speech
TO each regiment. He told the soldiers he could
not part WitA them. that they must not leave
him and our red cause at this stage of the
rebellion. He said that he would give them al,
the advantages accompanying their re-enlist-
ments, including Through OF thirty days to
each regiment, and arran ge matters that
ready 10 return, which proposition seemed to
meet with general favor.
General Foster then called upon the nine
months men for new artillery regiment Of
twelve companies, hundred and fifty men
each. This regiment was organized upon the
spot, and the officers appointed, some reyi-
mentS offering 10 furnish three companies for
this new command which will be ready for
ser vice in q short time.
The desire for that portion Of the Eighteenth
Army Corps now in South Carolina TO return
here under their old chief, where they can
have active service. is arousing the syrnpa-
thies of the whole department in their behalf
Numerous letters are continuously reaching
General Foster from officers and men now
separated from him against the express orders
OF the President, contain appeals for their
return, OF the most affecting character. Aside
from the general order to re-enlist for the war
il their wishes are granted, rather than have
any i'll feeling existing between the two depart
ments, Foster is willing 10 furnish Hunter with
two black regiments for each white regiment
returned.

OUR MILITARY BUDGET
INV ASTON RCMORS.


Yesterday OF the " feverish Sun.
days" III the way OF sensation ruHors, TO the
effect that Lee, with his :a!ked-of army Of inya.
sion, was making his appearance at points
widely apart, now at kelly's Ford, now at
Thoroughfare Gap, and now ut Harpers Ferry.
The only one OF the runors that finally took
any reliable shape was that Of 8 raid en- the
Orange and Alexandria railroad by Moseby's
gang OF guerillas, which were, no viewer, speed
lily scattered by Stahi's command.
From what we can ascertain positively from
the front, there seems TO be no doubt that the
Cohiederates are shifting position, and the in
dica,ions that they have moved consid-
cradle force up river in the direction OF Gull
pepper. Persons who have heretofore prophe-
sled accurately as to the moves OF the Confed-
e-a.es. Indicate Il belief that third battle upon
the bloody ground OF Manassas may occur
shortly.
Yesterday there were to be seen but few rebel
.the fronting Falmouth, and Bafksdale's
Mississippi Brigade, (i3th, 18th, ts:h and 2is,
regiments, which were drilling On Thursday
in the vicinity Of Fredericksburg, show now
no sign of their presence.
Whatever the rebels mp to, they will not
catch our commanders mapping, most ass urediy.
In relation TO the reports in regard to the ap-
pearsnce of the Confeder;ites in the Shenan-
doah Valley, the Baltimore AMERICAN of this
morning says:
ssOur city was full Of rumors on Saturday OF
the temperance Of Rebel troops III the Shen-
anaoah Valley, and the driving ia OF the pick
cts at Harper's Ferry. Persons who cam g di-
rect from the Ferry before day on Saturday re-
ported an attack momentarily expected, but it
all turned ou' 70 be a few struggling guerillas
who fired from the bushes on some OF our pick
cts, and 10 enemy was found by the scout sent
out within ten miles Of the Ferry, and none had
been heard from in that vicinity. We learn
from Gen. Schenck that he is in Geographic
communication with the different commands
IN all portions of his De;.ar:men: from Wheel
lng New Creek, Winchester, Cumberland and
Harprrs Ferry, and that the utmost quiet pre-
yaNed. There was noteyen runocs among the
people. and extensive cavalry reconnoisances
through all the mountain passes, from VIM
Chester ard down the line Of the Potomac to 8
point opposite the mouth OF the Monocacy,
failed to discover any signs or even reports OF
tle enemy. There was some bush wheckers
discovered and caught, but hing to indicate
the presence or approaca o. any considerable
Iurce. In fact All was quiet along our lines on
the Upper Potomac and in The Shenandoah
Isi!ey up 70 eleven O'clock last night.

The ELECTION To-DAY.-The Chronicle to-

man in Washington, by its Introduction for the
first time here OF that particular style Of pot
house strategy which consists IN springing
reckless charges upon political opponents on
the very day of the election, when too late to
be answered.
1t is filled to-day with reckless fabrlcations
OF this sort, but the result at the polls thus far
indicates that it has go FAR overshot the mark
as 10 have actually caused many persons OF its
