hours from 10 to l6 heavy cabre guns gunboats two
heavy guns on land and one mortar. All of their guns
from the boats, except one have ceased firing, and
the gunboats have retired round the bend eight hundred

The enemy's gunboats and batteries were constantly
hit aud large quantities of burning cotton we're struck
from them. We have lost some valuable gunners and
few Others Thank Cod loss is small so far. The

New YORK, Nov. 30-Detalled ac-
counts of the movements of the Army of
the Potomac are published in the Her.
aid, Times and Tribune, but are fully
covered by those of the Associated Press,
transmitted last night
The Triburses correspondent reports
having left the army at noon Saturday,
when it was advancing. He heard heavy
cannonading till nightfall from the direc-
ton of our left and center.
Nine of Mosby's pirates were captur-
ed Saturday at Catletts' station with one
of our officers and four priyates, Sunday
near Brentsyille.
The Tribune account says Friday
deserter who came into our lines reports
that Lee held the line of the Rapidan
last night, but fell back rapidly this Fri
day morning to his present position in
our front, distance of some l6 miles.
He also asserts that the rebels had not
used any of their artillery in response to
our assaults, but were running it to the
rear for the purpose, as he supposed, of
getting better position.
Gen. Meade entirely deceived the en-
envy as to the point of crossing. 1t is
reported that Lee had his entire army
in battle line all day Tuesday, fronting
Morton's Ford, supposing we were to
cross there. He has abandoned the long
line of formidable earthworks on the
south and southwest banks of the river.
On Saturday Gen. Meade advanced to
the front. Picket firing soon commenc-
ed, and continued at intervals up to noon.
The enemy had fallen back some two
miles, and the impression prevails here
that he is retreating. Our line of bat
tie, now, must extend about nine miles,
in the form of triangle. The whole
army is ready and impatient Large
numbers of prisoners continue to come
in this morning.
The Worlds correspondent, under
date of Nov. q, says that late in the af-
ternoon it was evident, from what could
be observed at the front, that the enemy
was making demonstration on our
right. Heavy firing was heard, but as
we had no communication, it was not
possible to get any particulars. 1t is as
certained, however, that the enemy made
a most determined attempt to turn our
right wing, and Gen. French had re-
pulsed them and taken 900 prisoners.
Gen. French is reported to have lost
heavily-it is said from 1000 to 1900
killed and wounded
Nov. ga thick fog and rain has set
in. We have advanced our picket line
at the front, but up to noon nothing more
than skirmish firing has taken place.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80, M.-Nothing
received this morning from Meade later
than furnished by the Associated Press
last night and this morning. Much diff
fieulty attends the reception of news,
there being no regular communications
with Washington.
The Presidents health has improved,
and he will soon be able to attend to off,
cial business.
The Chattanooga Post Office, will soon
be resumed under its old Post Master,
j. R. Hood. He leaves here to-day to
