to friends at home, dated as late as the 29th

By letters from the Captain Uieutenant

informed that the Yankees have entertain

structions by night operations, and actually
made the attempt last Wednesday night
with their Monitors and two gunboats, Of
which the OHawa was one. 'Vioient
squalls of rain and wind" are given .as
reason for their having turned back before
reaching the distractions, Of which our
Yankee neighbors have apparently so whole
some dread and so high an estimate. The
attempt, they say, was to be made again on
the night of the 29th ultimo, Saturday, and
as it was not done, it is to be presumed that
stormy weather again interveued, between
the Monitors and our distractions, which
stand intact We notice the Captain Of
the Ottawo was sick on the Goth. How.
ever, this did not prevent him from writing
model lettersfur his friends, inhislong and
minute descriptions of his daily life and
events, and in the expression of his ardent
conjugal affections.
From this efusion we learn, as was anti
eipated, that very many Of their officers in
the feet "are breaking down and being sent
home continually, from the ipcessant wear
and tear on them 10 this hot climate."

'obstruotions, the Passaic got aground, and

times would be too tame a matter even to
Epeak Of in q private letter. Just now,
nothing could be more important, as, if the
rise was Of sufficient magnitude, it would
greatly retard or efFectually prevent a re-
treat Of the rebels. A dispatch in The

LATER AND BETTER.

LAEEh AND
Dispatches received by Colonel AnsOn
stsger yesterday and last evening from
the very highest authority, say that Meade
fought Lee for three days, and that the
latter was thoroughly defeated and was in
full retreat, hOtiy pursued by Meade. Lees
army is completely demorauzed, while our
own is in the very highest spirits.
A column of Federal troops under Cen
eral French had passed up the Potomac to
WillismspOrt and destroyed rebel pom
toOn bridge and train. This fact is of the
utmost importance, when taken in cOnnec-
ton with the fact noted elsewhere that the
Potomac is unusually high. Williamsport
is the point at which Lee would naturally
endesvor to re-crOss his defeated army.
9s destroy the pOntoon train is to cut off the
R,ans Of the escape Of the rebel army. This
sshisVement is further important IS show
Ing Cwhst we had not dared to hOpe) that
. large Federal force had gained the rear
Of the rebels and are ready to dispute their
passage Renewed confidence in the de-
BtructiOn of Lees army will be gathered
from this fact.
Lee is reported fOrtifying a gap in the
South Mountain range, which he must pass
In his retreat; no fear need be felt from
Ehis report. On the contrary it gives us
greater hope. If he was victorious he
would not stop to fortify.

twas reported upon the streets yester-
day that we had captured l68 guns and
1900 prisoners, and that the dispatch had
been received by Colonel stager. Such
dispatch passed through as a special to
a western journal, but vas not supported
By evidence. It may Be true, Jut there is
- yet no warrant for asserting it to be q
fact.
In short, the situation is all that eoa5d be
6sBed or hoped. For this, let US all rejoice
and give thanks. "

The contest of arms between Meade AID
Lee was the only topic of conversation
yesterday. The city was excited to a very
high degree over the dispatches which were
received. These reports were, almost en-
tirsly, encouraging for the Union cause.
The rebels won 8 partial victory on
Wednesday, having driven that portion Of
the Federal army which attacked them.
On Thuraday, the rebels took the offensive,
and were roPulsed with great slaughter.
On Frldsy they were also repulsed, their
loss Of life being frightful. On Saturday,
the contest wsI renewed, but the details
have not yet resSAeJ Us. We have good
authority, however, for saying that on
yesterday, Lee pas in .tisIE retreat and pur-
sped By Meade. The question now is, will
the rebels be allowed to safely gain the
south bank Of the Potomac? If they are,
the victory viii hardly be half won. Nc
Clellan drove Lee out of MARYLAND last
year, but he did not destroy his army, and
before the Federal army was ready for an
other attack, Lee had recruited his forces
and was again ready to attack or be attack
cd. We trust that nothing Of the kind
will be allowed now; but that the victory
msy be made decisive one by the destruc-
ton Of the rebel army. It is well to drive
him, but it is better to crush and capture
