Your correspondents with the Army of tie Poto-
mac say of the state the effect that Lee had
Issued order 20 bis troops coogratu'atng them on
their victories, and indicating intention Of invad-
/ ing Maryland that they little more than inven-
tons of sensation ouespondents-there being no
foundation for them, unless il be reports from de-
serters on which no reliance is TO be placed. Ihe
Star Of this evening afro says that no such mpres-
sion existed last evening among those necessarily
best informed in Army OF the Potomac. AS con-
irmstory, Gen. Sickles, who is on his way TO salt
water bathing place at the NORTH to remain there
few days for the benefit Of his health, which 10
quite impaired, reached here this morning direct
from his command, assures that there
movements the part Of the Rebel army up to last
night justify beliefin the correctness of such reports.
| The only change noticeable in the position Of the
Rebel army is that brigade located near Fred.
ericksburg had moved off, apparently taxing the
road to Bowling Green, while toward Bankss Ford
one or two regiments are camped in q very con.
spicuous position. Our pickets at Bankss Ford and
United States Ford, however, report Rebels in
strong force in that vicinity, many believing move
mept to our right intended by Lee. While large
humber OF Rebel pckets were bathing in the river
Another said, Yes, he's going TO visit Longstreet.'
Soon after both were arrested, and picke,' ordered
away from tie river, strict orders having been given
to that effect
Gen. Schenck and Gov Curtin had long utter
view with the President to-day. 1t is said that they
seriously apprehend an invasion of Maryland or
Pennry lvsnia.
GEN. COUCH.
While Gen. Couch is absent on furlough, some
cav he has been relieved. Gen. Hancock is in COM
mand OF his corps.
GEN. RosECRANs's ARMY MOVING.
The fact that Gen. Ro.ecrans began 20 move up
ward of week ago tends TO confirm the report that
Bragg is falling back from bis front. Gen. Rose
Grams is moving slowly and cautiously, as he moved
upon Murfreesboro, before the battle Of Stones
River. Just creeping toward those upon whom he
means to pounce when he reaches them. This ex-
treme sowness Of Gen. Rosecranss advance might,
even without the added fact tina. the enemy is retir
ing. suffice to explain the delay in joining battle.
q MURDER.
| A coldNloodsd murder was committed last night
in the camp of the list Pennsy II seems that
Cant. McManus OF Co. L, Goth New.York, was WIS.,
ting Capt. PHILIPPE Of the former regiment and in
the course of the conversation made some remarks
sbou, Capt Mcmahon Of the list. The latter being
in his tent co,e by, it is supposed heard the CONVEX
saton and at once appeared in the tent 10 his night
dres,. revolver in hand and saying, Sir, you bave
been talking about me 10 night" Immediately raised
the pistol and fired before any one could interfere.
The ball eutsred the breast near the heart and death
ensued in about al hour aitsrward. Mcmahon At
tempted TO fire second time, but WAS
prevented by a lieutenant who was present.
When tbs news reached the 18th quite an excite.
meut was created, and il was with great difficulty
the mob of soldiers could be restrained from taking
surmary vengeance. The deceased was much es-
teemed by his fellow officers aud soldiers, while hs
murderer is represented TO be Of a quarTesome dis
,os;,iop. who has not won the respect or esteem
Of ANY of his associates. The affair has thrown q
gloom over the camp, and all discussing it. The
body of deceased is being embamed and will he
sen, North to his friends.
