The excursion party which left Washington

THE SITUArlON.

We stated yesterday afternoon that The
Government had received dispatches of a salts,
factory character from General Meade. It ap.
pears that he has after making a heavy recon.
uoissancc tccrossed the Rapidan in safety, and
saved the glorious Army Of the Potomac from
annihilaton. Since the inception Of this last
campaign, the widest stories respecting the
Plan and ultimate purpose of General Meade
have been atioat in this city.
1t was asserted by some that he intended 10
nnd Lees amy and whip 1t all to piecee. 9th.
crs said that the capture of Gordonsvile, and
the destruction of communications with Rich.
mond, on that line. was the object Of the cam
paign. Others believed the absurd statement
that General Meade would make rapid Hank
movement and invest Richmond. and that his
next base Of supplies would he the Jane
River.
1t was averred that he had been furnished
with all the supplies he asked for and was left
by the Government to prosecute the campaign
according to his own Judgment without inter
ference from any quarter, and that fired with
emulation by the glorious successes of our
Generals in the Southwest, he was determined
to win fresh laurels at Richmond.
All these wiscacres were wrong, the resul,
shows that they knew nothing whatever of
Gen. Meadc's plans, and still know nothing of

Explanation Of the Retrogade
Movement.

HEAporARrERsARMr OF The PoroMAc, Dec.
2.-The Army Of the Potomac crossed the Rap
idan In three columns on the eoth November,
and concentrated the following day on Mine
Run. The enemy occupied the hills on the
opposite side of the stream, In full force.
His position, naturally n very strong one,
was found to be intrenchcd along his entire
line, his works being a continuation of those
on the Rapidap, to learn which was the object
of this movement.
The cnemys posi- ton was too formidable to
bo carried by assault. The great difficulty of
keeping up the supplies Of the troops at this
season Of tho year ut any distance from tho
railroad as well ns the impractibillty of the
country for military operations, prevented a
more extensive movement, and the army re-.
turned to the north side of tho Rapidau. The
falling back TO ovr present position was accom-
plshcd without loss of men or property.
The entire casualties will not exceed one
in killed wounded and missing. A
few men who forded Mill run and lay on pick
ct duty during the night were frozen aad sew
eral bodies OF rebel skermishers were snet to
their rear on stretchcrs.

A REACTION IN ENGLAND.

A marked and decided reaction In sentiment
and feeling for the rebel Confederacy may be
expected Immediately in England among the
very classes who have given direct aid and com
fort to the rebellion. The thinking, moral and
religious people Of Great Britain may not have
.vmpathzed with the insurgents, or If they
did, have corrected their error, but monied and
mercantile Adventures have invested largely
In rebel stocks, in various ways. They have
lent to rebel agents the money to pay for the
rams built by Laird d Thomas. These agents,
desparing Of getting the rams away, have sold
them to the British Government. The English
have thus possessed themselves Of three war
vessels superior to anything else in their navy,
but the individuals who advanced to the rebel
agents the pounds sterling required to pay for
constructing them will have to whistle for
their pay.
Instead of receiving the principal of the sums
advanced and share of the plunder to be Sc
"ured by the piratical craft on the high seas,
they will be compelled to pocket their losses
while the rebel agents walk off coolly with the
proceeds Of the sale of the rams to the English
Government.
Those who arc vctimized will raise tempest
that will blow away from English shores all
res,iges OF sympathy with the rebel cause.

Washington Lecture Association.

Our readers will be glad to see by the adver,
tIscmcnt which appears in our paper, that the
association which favored us two winters ago
with lectures and addresses, from some of the
most prominent Dirines, Statesmen and schol.
sTs Of this country, have made similar arrange
ments for this winter, and have already secured
the services Of some ten or eleven distinguished
gentlemen.
As the object OF the association is not to
make m2my but solely 10 disseminate ''useful
knowledge among men," 1t ought to be liberal
!y patroniSed by our citizens, and doubtless
will be, particularly as the price of admission
IA SO very low, only $3.50 for the entire course,
which will certainly embrace some ten lectures,
and perhaps fifteen. We wish the Washir on

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Full reports from the
Army OF the Potomac up TO this morning are
now here, but most Of them have been antictpa-
ted, Notwithstanding the positive order from
Gen. Meade to send of nothing until tho opo.
rntions were completed His preliminary
movements being completed and over, We add
merely the past two days operations.
OPERATIONS OF MONDAY.
On Monday General Meade was in line of
battle east of Mine River or Run, with the
rebel army in position on the opposite bank
strongly posted and intrenchcd. Rcconnos
sanccs which were made on Sunday night dis
closed the fact that Mine Run was from three
to ten feet deep.
ADVANTAGES OF THE ENEMY.
This stream has steep, craggy sides, and is
difficult of approach, whi3h facts give the rebel
army great advantages as defensive line and
natural barrier. II was found impossible 10
cross 1t with artillery and cavalry in the face Of
an energetic enemy on the other side.
LEE REINFORCED.
Appearances indicate that Lee has been con.
sidcrably reinforced, aud rumors gained ground
that part of Longstrect's corps had joined hlh.
CAUSE OF DELAY.
Delays, occasloncd by the broken character
of the ground, in getting GCn. Mcadc's various
columns into position. enabled the rchcl5 to
strengthen the naturally strong position tlcy
occupied TO such an extent that IL was thought
they would have been able to hold II against a
greatly superior attacking force.
THE ESENY's FORCE.
The extent of their camp fires Indicate that
heavy force Is behind their works, inducing
the belief that they had been heavily re enforced
by Lopgstreet, or from some other source.
MEADE REcRossEs THE RAPIDAS.
Under these circumstances General Meade
determined to return TO his old position on this
side of the Rapidan river.
THE RErRoGRADE MOVEMENT.
Early on Tuesday morning the wagon trains,
ambulances and reserve artillery commenced
10 move back by way OF Ely's and Culpeper
Mine fords, and later in the day the army com.
mcnced TO follow, and by night they were well
On their way 10 the river, meeting no oppos.
lion on the part OF the rebels.
WEDNESDAYS WORK.

whole army recrossed the Rapidan river, and |
