The Army Of the Potomac.

The Richmond Examiner indicates, in the
plainest terms, dstrust of Lees power to
resist the advance of Hooker. Indeed the
Army Of the Potomac, though It has Of late
occupied but little Of the public attention, Is
really the largest force under one commander
that we have in the field, and in respect to
equipment, discipline and morale, it is exceed
ed by none of the armies in the West. II
Numbers at least 15O 900 effective men, and
when the condition of the roads allows It to
move, 1t will probably strike the greatest blow
of the war. The rebels are perfectly aware
that they are now immensely outnumbcred on
the Rappahannock, and when Hooker decides
to make'a forward movement the enemy will
doubtless fall back on the defences of Rich
mond. It is evid emily the design of the
General in Chief so to combine the operations
of the armies in Virginia, (which together
amount to more than $50, 900 men,--that
they shall act in concert, and not only defeat
the rebel force but capture 1t.

Funeral Of Norton D. Grow.

As will be noticed under the proper
heading. Mr.. Norton d. Grow, q men,
Der of Company G. Capt. Slocum, 9th
Regiment Iowa Volunteers, died 10
this town on the Sd inst. He came
home from Memphis, Tenn, . few
days previously, where. for several
months, he had been 10 the hospital.
His funeral. on Sunday last, was at-
tended by large concourse of people.
The Good Templars. the Union League.
and tho "S.B." Society participated
in the ceremonies. The procession
marched to the beat Of muffled drums.
The scene was impressive, and reali-
cation of the sacrifices which the re-
bellion is costing was brought home
to many family. Rev. Mr.. Groa'
preached the funeral sermon, and the
Copperhsads, Of whom several were
present, must have felt the keen re
dukes which he gave them for tllei'
disunion and wicked practices.

March 25th. 1863.

March 25th, 1868.
Admiral Farragut requested that an
iron clad and two rams might be sent
down to him, anticipating danger
from below. The rams Lancaster and
Switzerland were ordered down by
Gen. EIlet, with picked crews. The
former was commanded by Lieut.. Col.
Jno. A. Ellet, and the latter by Col.
Charles X. Ellet. The rams started to
run the Vicksburg batteries at five
o'clock this morning, having been un-
avoidably delayed. The Switzerland
took the lead, and had reached mid
way between the batteries when q
shot struck the boiler, exploding il
and scalding three negroes badly, and
the mate, G.. Conner, slightly. The
vessel then Aoated down the river, and
was taken in tow by the Albatross.
Her damage is slight, and she will
be fit for service in day or two.
The Lancaster, less fortunate, was
struck soon after passing the first bat.

splitting her hull in twain, and sever.

cutting her steam pipe. She soon
commenced to sink, but fearing she
might fall into the hands of the reb-

revolver into the cotton around her
boilers and set her on fire.
Her bow went under, however, in q

missing, and was probably drowned.
The crews of the vessels behaved
nobly, and obcyed orders promptly
To this they are indebted for their
escape from death in tenfold terrible
forms.
The batteries at Warrenton opened
on the Hartford to prevent her from
going up to carry out her part Of the
programme, but with the exception OF
two or three men slightly wounded,
she escaped damage.
The rebels have planted heavy guns

abandoned as a failure, on account Of

Afterwards, on the 22d, the Albatross
made reconnaissance to Warrenton,
and destroyed an unfinished casem a ted
battery which the rebels had com.
menced, under slight opposition
from rifemen and few field pieces.
The ensuing day the Hartford paid the
same place a visit, and found about
5000 rifemen entrenched, who were
quickly scattered by dose Of shot
and shell.
This ends the adventures of the
two steamers, which we're at the foot
Of the canal when your correspondent
left.
Commodore Farragut is confident Of
his ability to silence any battery on
the river certainly himself and the
crews of all his steamers evidenced
the possession of most undeniable
pluck. All the officers and men be.
haved nobly; Pilot Carol, of Hart
ford, is especially mentioned, and
many others will be in the Commo-
dore's official dispatches which have
gone forward to Washington. The
presence of Farragut and his gun.
boats has infused new vigor and spirit
into the soldiers at Young's Point.
