Special dispatch to The Boston Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec 2. The army of the Po-
tomac has fallen back to its late base at Brandy
Station, on the line of the Orange railroad
Well informed military men here say Mesde's
only mission was to threaten Lees line, in or
der to prevent him from reinforcing Longstreet.
That object hes been fulfilled, as Burnside has
been ascertained to be safe beyond all doubt.
Gen. Meade will therefore resume his position
on the line of the Rappabannocx. |; is believed
that he has performed his duty to the satisfac.
ton of the War Department.
1t is limited tonight that the Army of the
Potomac may go into winter quarters this side
of the Rappahannock.
The opinions of those posted are that Lees
whole force did not exceed IS, 600 men. He had
however, great advantage in position.

The CHANGE IN COMMANDERS OF THE ARMY
OF THE PoToMAc.-The reason given by General
Hooker for asking to be relieved from his COM
mand is quite sufficient justification for the act II
his Usefulness was at an end in that army, 1t
was, of course, high time he gave place to some
ether General. 1t has seemed quite clear to u.s.
since his defeat at Charlottesville that he was
not equal to handling to the best advantage his
army, whatever other good qualities as an off,
Ger he might possess. We presume the army
is of the same opinion, and that it has rather
lost than gained confidence in him since. What
other and more pressing reasons led to the change
we are, as yet, ignorant of, and so can speak
the change at this time only in this general way.
OF his successor, Gen Meade, we can also say
scarcely anything. He has hitherto done well,
but his capacity for managing large army sue
cessfully is yet to be tried. IT nations desire
for his give 1t to him, he certainly will
make the future Of the Army of the Potomac
something different from its past history. But
we have no data for prophecy and can hardly be
blndy sanguiue after the former disastrous ex-
periences of Generals in that army, and are al
most ready to make the remark attributed to the
President on another occasion, that we hope for
the best and are prepared for the worst"

,ment, which was stationed at Westminster,
twenty eight miles from here, were attacked yes
terday by rebel cavalry and running hight
epsued. in which our cavalry were chased to
within seven miles of this city, but few of the
detachment reporting at headquarters.
Ltaer in the evening it was reported that a
considerable force of rebel cavalry were advan-
cling toward the city on the Reisterstown road
The preconcerted signal was given, and the
members of the Union League assembled at their
different headquarters, received their arms anu
marched to the barricade. The promptness
with which the call was answered was highly
credltable to their patriotism and courage.
The American also says we are gratiied to be
able to announce that the Army of the Potomac
is in rapid and successful motion under It's new
commander, Gen. Meade.
The character of this movement is such as will
satisfy the country of the yigor, skill and good
Judgment of the new commander. We feel that
we ought not to explain this grand movement,
but assure our readers that it will give great
satisfaction.

New YORK June 80. The Tunes says let
ter to gentleman in that city has Just been re-
ceivej from which we give an extract. 1t comes
from gentleman in the quartermaster's de.
partment at Port Hudson, and is direct from
headquarters
1t says the rebel General in command of the
works at Port Hudson has offered to eapitulate
in case he be allowed to 90 out with side arms,
and other military privileges. This request was,
however, refused, on the ground that Gen. Gar
diner, having formerly been a commandant in
our forces, and having been taken a prisoner by
the rebels, had accepted command under the
Confederate States, we should prefer to bag him
and make an exhibition of him rather than that
he should have the opportunity of escaping.
New YORK, June 80 Passengers per steam
er Columbia state that the bombardment had
made but little impression on the Port Hudson
work. The cautious movement of Gen. Banks
indicated that he relied less for ultimate sue
cess on his troops, than the lack CT supplies in
the garrison. The position of our army was
such that the gunboats connot cooperate, and
all firing by them has ceased.
There is said to be large army under Ma
gruder and Breckenridge in the rear Of Gen.
Banks, whose object seems to be to surround
him or cut off his supplies. Guerrillas seem to
infest the river, and large quantity of sup
plies for Gen. Banks have been captured.

Port Hudson has not been taken Gen.
Grant was deceived by false report to that ef-
feet, given out before Il d, boat landed. The re-
port was brought by the Arazona. The firing
here has been more quiet in consequence of the
intense heat. We have gained possession of an,
other fort on the left.
CAIRO, June 80. The dispatch boat, Gen
Lyon, from Yazoo landing the morning of the
26th, has arrived r...
There had been fighting all day Thursday in
the rear of vicksburg, and at night one of tn,
rebel forts was blown up, causing terrific
csncussion. The Gen. Lyon was fired on a.
Cyprus Bend, en- her way down, by a rebe
battery. The fire was returned, and the rebel
driven off with loss of several killed anC
wounded. -. M.. ..
CHICAGO, June 80. A special Memphis dis
patch of the 18th says the steamer New Ken
lucky brings news from Gen. Logans division
at Vicksburg, which had taken an importan
fort from the enemy. He mined and blew u,
one corner on Saturday. This produced
breach in the wallss through which our troop
entered. The rebels fought with reckless cour
age, but were forced to yield Gen Logan ha
already mounted two heavy guns. Gen. Gran

COLUMBIA, Pa, June 80. S. S. Blair, train
master, left York at O'Clock this morning,
when the rebels had all left, except their rear
guard which was beginning to move Oft when
he left 1t was reported that Gen. Pleasanton' s
outer pickets had been seen within four miles OF
York The total demand on York by the reb-
els amounted to 100000. The citizens raised
$4,000 in cash and subsistence and the rebels
allowed them twenty days to raise the balance.
The citizens were all treated with respect.

HARRISBURG, June 80. All is quiet. The
rebels have retreated beyond Carlisle. A cit
zen of Carlisle, who left there at II o'clock to-
day, arrived this afternoon. He states that all
the rebels, 5000 strong, left there for Gettys
burg. On his way he met nothing but cavalry
pickets. The citizens of Carlisle were com
PEELED TO furnish rations to the rebels, so far al
their means would permit.
Yesterday there arrived at Carlisle 100 pris
oners which the rebels captured at Gettysburg
1t is believed that the main body of the rebel
is in the vicinity of Shippensburg.
The danger of Pennsylvania and the North i
still imminent, everything depending on tn
encounter between Lee and Meade If our ar
my should be defeated we have no hope excep
in large armies to be raised in the North n
effort should be spared to hurry forward larg
military organizations everywhere.
| HARRISBURG, June 80. A skrmish took plac
at o clock this afternoon near Merchandising
between our cavalry advance and some rebel
who had two pieces of artillery. We had tou
guns. The firing was kept up some time, whel

New YORK, June 80. The Times has the fol-
lowing dispatch from the headquarters of the
army of the Cumberland at Manchester, Tenn.
dated the Goth, 10 A. NJ. 1t is feared that
Bragg's army is Withdrawing from Tullahoma
to Chattanooga, and that we shall not be able
to get the fight out of him which the men and
officers have been expecting. Our movements
to the present point have really outfanked Tul'
ahoma. Troops were thrown forward this
morning to harass their flank and rear.

BALTIMORE, June 80. The American saws W,
are not at liberty to give the precise position O
the army of the Potomac. Suffice it to say bott
railroad and telegraph communication was re
sumed with Frederick and Harper's Ferry Thu
morning, and that the rebel raiders who occu
pied Montgomery County yesterday and Sun
day found it necessary yesterday afternoon t,
make rapid retreat from those places.
There was no enemy last night between tn
Frederick road and Potomac river.
Gen. Meade, as soon as he took command, is
sued orders for general movement, and inf
few hours relieved both Baltimore and Wash
ington of all present fear of rebel invasion. W
apprehend there is not rebel in arms within
thirty miles of Baltimore, and none on this sid
of the Potomac within similar distance O
Washington.
BALTIMORE, June 80. Martial law is declares

The latter think that II 10 an outrage sgsinst

the rebels, who have not hcsltatcd TO employ
every internal means In their power TO destroy
the lives OF Federal troops. l. ...I..I.
II SO happens that the Government has posi-

Rsvslat,ons OF a Rebel M.,l-B.u

Among the captures by our troops at Cum
berland Gap was a large rebel mailbag, the
contents of which have afforded both amuse-
meat and instruction to those WAC have exam.
ined them. Among other things, the letters
confirmed beyond all question the fact that the
Georgia troops are as dissatisfied as any In the
Confederate service. Out of the large number
of Georgia lerters In the mail but two displayed
any confidence whatever In the rebel cause.
Onc gentleman wrote home for his wife not to
sell his two pigs for Confederate money, as II
was entirely worthless. Another says; II
this war amt closed soon, there will be no men
lett. We can't fight Sorld-ful or mem the
South can stand 1t much longer-our men arc

have never seen men so out Of heart. You had
better set your house In order, for by Christmas
we shall be back In the Union. II peace don't

spirit displayed In all or nearly all these letters
"A spirit of utter despair for the rebel cause,
and willingness to take the Union on any

NEW YORK AGITATED.

The Mayor OF Boston has thrown the city Of
New York into . state of cbuIlitiop. The
worshipful chief magistrate Of tho Hub"
very ingenuously told the Russian sdmi-
raj, In his letter inviting the Russian officers
to visit the good city of Boston, that Rus
sian vessels visit that city for trading pur-
poses more frequently and numerously than this
city Of New York. This has agitsted the New
Workers. They were willing the little city Of
Boston should be visited by the Russians, but
that the Mayor should blurt out to them
the fact that this provincial town has more than
twice the trade with Russia that New York
enjoys, Ii dicourtcous, uncalled for and alto
gether wrong! Tho Mayor of Boston, aftei
making such an expose, will hardly be com
plmcnted with the freedom OF Gotham.
