PHILADELPHIA, July Z.
High authority states that not more than
half Of the remaining force Of Lee can
easily be got over the POtOmoc, and if
troops are pushed forward, all escape can
be cut of. The State troops are in CO.
operation with Meade, and fresh regiments
are continually arriving at Harrisburg
1t is confidently believed here Rich
mOnd will fall next, as our forces are be-
lieved to be pushing for that point, and
are said to be within two and a half miles
of that city.
The Army Of the Potomac is in better
condition, so far as ardor is concerned
than when it fought and won the battle of
Gettysburg, and no doubt is entertained
by its leader of his entire ability not only
to conquer but to capture the main body
Of the rebel ioroe.
WAsHNGrON, July Z.
Military men here speak in the warm
est terms in praise Of Meade's plan
of bIttle at Gettysburg, diagrams Of
which have beea received at the War De-
partment. No point of his whole line Of
battle was over fifteen minutes march from
his reserves.
General Benham on examining the plans
to-day said it was the most perfect posi-
ton he had ever known.

Messages for the Associated Press received
from Frederick to-nget say that information
which can be relied on comes from the front this
morning Of the following purport:
The POtomas has checked the passage OF the
rebel army. A small portion of Lees transport
alton has been crossed on RATS from Williams
burg and ShepardstOwn. The stock sWGm over
His wounded in tho ambuanc train has also
crossed, but his supply train, with his cavalry
infantry and artillery are on this side.
His first line Of battle has been fOrmed IN the
Antietam Field. Should this prove true, and it
is certain he cannot receive reinfOrcements, he
will be obliged to trust his army to the arbitra-
ment Of Bloody field.
Our forces are gradually concentrating in that
direction.
The hopes and prospects Of annihlsting the
entire army Of Virginia are bright.
The best possible spirit animates the officers
and men.
At the latest adyices Lee was concentrating his
forces by every available route. He, yesterday
morning planted his batteries on every road by
which we should be lkely'to approach.

Arch Bishop Rennek died suddenly this morn

The Americans special Frederick letter, dated
this morning. SAYS it is no longer a question
whether the POtOmac is fOriable, but whether
any bridge the rebels may have would stand be-
fore such food.
It speaks Of active army operations. Our cav
airy are constantly picking up prisoners, and
sending them in by hundreds also capturing or
burning rebel trains.
The rebels are abandoning their wounded
whom they place in wagons taken from farmers
along the road.
Lee is detained at the river. His case will be
most desperate, if not hopeless.

TIE MEDINA TRAGEDY-We clip the fol-
lowing from the Herald of last evening:
Further facts in relation to the horrible
tragedy in Medina have come to light. It
has been aseertained that Mr.. Coy was not
in Cleveland for some time previons to the
murder, and that the money stated to have
been drawn by him here, was drawn on a
check at the Merchants Bank and sent to
him by another person. The envelope which
had contained the money, and which was left
behind by the murderer, bears traces of blood.
The marks of blood on the fence, which were
taken as proof of there being two persons en-
gagged in the deed, turn out to have been
caused by the man who carried out the body
of the child. The fendish murderer seems
to have well planned the hOrrid deed, and to
have covered up his traces with considerable
skill.
There was a narrow escape for one who
would undoubtedly have been fourth vic
tim to the tragedy. A little boy, playmate
of young Coy, had intended to go over to
Coy's house to sleep that night, but his
mother objected to his going, on account of
the lateness of the hour. Had he gone, he
would, no doubt, alse have been sacrificed.
The utmost excitement still reigns in Me-
dina, and every effort is made to trace out
the perpetrator of this unparalleled murder.
The County Commissioners have increased
the reward offered to 81 900, and have also
voted to advance 500 dollars to the detectives
engaged in the pursuit.

YESTERDAY, man known as Ward, who
calls himself Z" Artemus Ward" and lyingly
claims to be the author of the humorous
letters Published over that signature, was ar
rested at Camp Cleveland for selling fraudu-

selling worthless bills issued by the Adrian

was at my house, some two weeks ago, you
will recollect that I bought two pairs of
glasses for six dollars gave you ten and
a one, and you gave me back a five on the
Valley Bank Of Hagerstown, Maryland,
which is worthless. Taking you to be an
honest man, I think you did not intend to do
it. Now all want is to have it made right,
for am not able to loose it. Drop me line
at Carey, WyandOtte county, Ohio.
With respects, yours,
