MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Army Of the Potomac.

Washir .,ton, Dec. 4.
The Star under the head of THE Army
of the Potomac and its hesitating Gene
ra.s," says go long as our army in this
quarter continues to be guided by its
present counsels in the field it is now clear
that it will fail to command public conf
dence. The movement amounted only
to reconnaissance in force. Its purpose
was certainly to give Lee battle wherever
found. There can be no mistake of this
fact, though it is now sought to be denied.
We know further that the season for &C
tive operations under active commanders
in this section has not closed, as is being
represented by more or less newspapers.
And if Leereiying on continuance of the
chronic hesltancy that has affected the
counsels of Gen. Meade, ventures to re-
intorce Longstreet considerably from his
own army, which be has YET time at least
to attempt, the Government will promptly
seek to make him pay dear for his temer-
ity. as our army of the Potomac is az
ready al this moment to move again as it
was.

Governor Curtin bias submitted for the
approval of the President plan for rails.
ing troops in Pennsylvania. which it i,
said, if acceded to. will place that State
among the foremost in filling the reg pired
quota.
The opposition members of the House
of Representatives, about Fifty in number,
had free conversation tonight at the
Capitol. Representative King was the
only Border State man present. The
Border State men also had convention
tonight. No definite action was taken
in reference to the election Of officers OF
the House.
All was quiet in front of the Arm y OF
the Potomac to-day.
Last night the enemy made recon nois-
sance in force, consisting Of artillery, in.
fAntry and cavalry, and crossed at Rae
coon Ford, with the probable intention of
aseertaining our strength and position,
but they were repulsed BY detach ment
of our cavalry corps. and rapidly retreated
to the south side of the Rapidan, re-occu.
plying Culpepper with cavalry force.
