From the Army of the Potomac

New YORK, Oct. 29.-The Tribune's dis
patch from the Army of Potomac says:
Recent artillery and cavalry demonstrations
which have been exaggerated into formlda,
Bile engagements are regarded here as being
only an attempt on the part of the rebels
to discover our position.
On Monday night a dash was made on
our pickets near Fairfax Court House. 1t
resulted in nothing. 49, =,
Lees boosted campaign has degenerated
into a raid upon the railroad to interrupt
its reconstruction.
A Washington special to the Tribune
says:
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided that the banks Of the State OF
New York holding funds of State are sub
ject to the payment of the tax provided IN
the aot of March Sd. He does not regard
this as a taxation of State bat OF banks
alone upon the rights and property they
sevorally have by agreement of funds de-
posted.
The Herald has the following:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
October 28.-Considerabl changes have
recently taken place in relative positions in
Union and rebel armies. There is no I'M
mediate prospect of battle, the enemy is
taking good care to avoid anything like a
general engagement. The late intelligence
makes it probable his recent demonstra-
tons were feints to cover more important
but for Lees sudden change of
attitude, we should have had fight when

could lead the searching party to believe
the German family guilty, and they were
about leaving, when the woman stated that
sbs had seen several members of negro
family carrying suspicious packages up TO
their house, a short distance above
No time was lost by the searching
party in making their way to the
house in question. The negroes denied
auy knowledge of the affair, and protested
against the house being entered or search
ed. This only tended to satisfy the store
boomer of the guilt of the negroes. The
oarty entered the house, and soon found the
stolen goods, The darkles said they knew
who had informed about them, aud they
wonld make them "sweat" for it. lmmedl

should not be searched, Seeing the Sheriff
was about to enter the IL, gro seized club
and aimed blow at the officials head. The
blow was knocked off, and to save himself,
the Sheriff drew his revolver and shot the
black scoundrel dead. The house was
searched. but nothing could be found OF the
woman or boy. Officers We're sent In search
of them and number Of the neighbors JOIN

the many who are interested In this depart
msnt Of science. Prof. White then followed,
giving some sminently suggestive and praO-
teal remarks upon the best method Of teach
ing grammar.
The Association then took short recess,
and when again called togethsr, Pref. White
took up the subject of reading. The pro-
cssdings Of the afternoon were concluded
with some vs:y interesting exercises in the
department Of Physical Culture, led by Prof.
Norton, of Cleveland.
The Association met in the evening, pur-
suant to adjournment, when Prof. Norton re-
sumed the subject Of Physical Culture, DR..
Sterling followed in very interesting ad-
drsss upon the subjsOt of Respiration. A
vote of thsnks was rendered to these gentle
men for their services. Prof White then de-
livsrsd an address upon the subject of School
Government, which commanded the earnest
attention of all present. After music the

office of the company will probably bs in the

formerly an operator in the Union Telegraph

is talked OF for manager at the new office.
The selection would be an excellentOne.
The advantages afforded to our citizsns BY
the establishment of new telegraph line
here are obvious. Competition will throw
more life and energy into the business, and
insure to us more certainly the cOmmunica-
ton Of news from all points. Our old system
has been excellent, but we look for even
better things from the result of stimulating
competition.
