If the de, artment be substituted: 10
the first proposition, Mr.. Lincoln IS re-
ported to have replid that he could see
no objections to making Kansas into
separate dep: rtmeut, provided there are
no military objections. Several con,
situations have taken place upon this and
the other points between the President
and Secretary of War. Nothing is pos
itiyely known as to the conclusions ar
rived at by the President, but those
interested incline to the belief that Kan
sas will be made a separate department,
and that Gen. Schofeld will not be re-
moved, but that orders will be issued dl.

18th, publishes the following in regard
to the Army of the Potomac, "There is
infnrm".iuu from the front this morning,
that Meade's army has fulton book to
this side of the Rappahaun mock, followed
by Lees army iu great force. About a
mile from the south side the enemy
made feint of moving up the valley on
the southern bank of Robinson river.
Our cavalry under Buford, crossed at
German Ford, and took possession o:the
earthworks abandoned by them. When
cur force was across the enemy came
against Buford in great force, drove him
across the river, and crossing, pursued
him to the Rappahannock.

tillery made reconnaissance in the rear
Of Madison Court House, and was cut of
yesterday afternoon, on the road to Cul,
pepper, by portion Of Ewe''s corps,
which formed across the oply road by
which he could return. Fitzpatrick was
compelled to charge directly into the cul
de sac made by the cnemy's formation.
The cavalry cut their way through under
a concentrated fire. such as has hardly
ever been experienced by our troops dur
ing the war.
Meade displayed good gencralship,
bringing bis army base to the line of the
Rappahannock. When the enemy made
up the Valley, Meade made feint of
following him in force to attack him in
the rear, massing his troops at Raccoon
Ford. This drew back Lees army, so
that the intended fanking movement
was frustrated. Meade brought every
wagon aud all his stores with him"
