get through save by running the gauntlet
through country already swarming with
gnerillas. A courier. however. got thro'

Meade seems to be gradually pushing the
rebel army on Gordonsville, and il is be-

highly encouraging. and If successful, a
new base of supplies will be established in
few days. from which the army will op-

Confederacy.
p. M.-The Army of the Potomac
has finally severed its line OF communica.

Constant skirmishing between the two
armies has been going on ever since Fri

yesterday at Rappahannock Bridge from
the direction Of the armies, but it is not
definitely ascertained that any general en-
gagcment was fought.

At daylight this morning. Gen. Meade's
army began forcing the passage OF the
Rapidan at Germania Ford and two other
points. A hard fight occurred at Germs-
mia Ford. where the rebels had massed
their forces. The fighting lasted along the
line for about three hours.
The whole army is now on the soutll
bank Of TIE Rspidan. The line OF the Or

abandoned, and supplies for the army will
hereafter reach it by way of Aqua Creek.
Falmouth. and Fredericksburg, and work
