The Army Of the Potomac.
rrs rnYsreAI AND MORAL STATE,

The rebel pickets opposite our lines have
recently been unusually civil to our men.
I hear that they express great desire to
exchange their paper money for our Treasury
notes. They gladly give four dollars for
one of ours, and even more; and they jump
at the chance to exchange their money for
gold at the rate of eight dollars for one.
Those who desire to effect these exchanges
say that "greenbacks" are carefully boarded
on the other side they are easily carried
and concealed, and many are laying them
up, it is said, against good time coming"
which may not be far of.
We hear nothing now of the scurrilous
language which the rebel soldiers formerly
wasted upon our pickets. Their feeling
have softened, apparently they have acquir-
cd n respect for the men whom they have
met in so many battles; and if the army
had accomplished nothing else, it has at
} least proved to the boastful southerners
that the men of the free states, the Yankees
of New England and the middle states, are
as brave and steady soldiers as the bravest
wants to meet.
WOUNDED CoI.oR-BEARER.
A touching incident in the great battle
of Gettysburgh will show you how this
spirit manifests itself The color-sergeant
of the Sixteenth Vermont fell mortally
wounded At once dozen meu rushed up
to seize the colors and bear them forward.
The poor wounded sergeant (whose name l
have not been able to get) grasped the staff
with both his clenched hands, his eyes
were already dimmed with death he could
not see who it was that tried TO wrest his
charge from him. Are you friends or
enemies 2" he cried out I'VE are friends,
was the reply, give us the colors." Then,
friends" said he, II am mortaly wounded ;
let me hold up the flag till l die'--and so
saying, he fell back-dead. Surely. nobler
soldier than this poor fellow never lived.
This army isno longer apolitical machine.
McClellanism, never very strong in it, has
died out 1t was kept alive for some time,
mostly from spirit of opposition: it has
now no existence. The army is for the
country, and for no individual. 1t fights
and lives for the flag at its head; for the
Union, which it means to see re-established
They say: "When Uncle Abe removed
General Mcclellan we thought it was a
mistake, but we have done more and better
| fighting under other generals, and less
digging. When the President issued his
Emancipation Proclamation we were down
on him, but everybody knows now that he
did just right; when he began to arm the
blacks we were very mad, but now We say
the more black troops the better"

Friday. lie overlook the rebels under
Jackson and Williams on Saturday, at Blue
Springs.
The rebels occupied strong position, and
were supposed to number six thousani.--
Our cavalry held the advance until o'clock
p. NJ, when the first division charged the
rebels. The firing was sharp and destruc-
tive to our men. The rebels used only one
battery. They were driven from the field at
sundown, but darkness rendered the pursuit
impossible.
The rebels are now rctreatinI on the
Greenvile road. We lost 60 killed and
wounded. The latter were placed on the
cars to be sent to Knoxville. Gen Burnside
is pursuing the rebels, and everything looks
encouraging.
