THE POTOMAC ARMY.
BACK AGAIN

ton 2d says. -- ---. -....-...-
The Army of the Potomac tonight en-
camps on the ground it left on the morn
ing of Thanksgiving. The reasons for
this sudden change of the programme
without forcing Lee to a general battle
are these: At a council of war held on
Monday night facts demonstrated that
the enemy was entrenehed hehind very
formidable earthwOrks, which they were
every moment Strengthening The fear
full loss 1t would entail upon US, and the
impossibility of succoring our wounded
before they would perish with cold in
case we attempted to carry the rebel
works by assault, were some of the con
siderations which induced the subsequent
action.
Our rations and forage had nearly run
out, and the roads were too bad TO allow
further transportation from our distant
base OF supplies. These weighty eonsid-
erations, it ia claimed, induced the Com
mander to issue an order TO fall back
\ Tonight the Army of the Potomac
rests on its old base on the line of. the
Orange and Alexandra railroad.
