WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The Army of the
Potomac is on the move and in a direction
which indicates the abandonment of the
Warrenton route to Richmond. Winter
quarters are probably in view, and the pre-
sent movement may be step in the direc.
ton of a quiet abiding place for the troops

collided with a three masted propeller, sup.

Baltimore. The Louisiana was badly dam

sunk, as she's she quickly dsap PE ~
respondent gives the following details OF
the late battle at Wauhatchie. The attack
was thorough surprise movement and
was met by only very small portion OF
the enemy's command. These had to srs-
tain separate independent fight for near
ly2 hours, against heavy odds, without
Notifications of any kind, besides we knew
little of the topography of the ground in the
immediate neighborhood. We had just
arrived that night and even received orders
to be under arms at daylight. Although
Gen. Hooker sent reinforcoments with or
ders to press forward and make junction
with Geary at the earliest possible moment
still such reinforcementsd did not participate
in Geary's fight. Had the reintorcements
! arrived in time, and still more particularly
had Gen. Rockers orders been literally
and promptly obeyed it is not at all impro-
bable that We would have captured good
ly portion of one whole rebel Brigade. Ts
Three times the enemy made an attack,
boldly charging on Geary's centre, to try
and capture his artillery, and each time
they We're driven back signally and with
! heavy loss. The fighting by our men was
of the coolest and bravest character, and
! every attempt to Outtank our small force
was checked at once. AT last the enemy
was commanded to retire; all their wound
ed that could walk We're taken off the field
the rest being left behind. One ditch con-
tanned about 20 men and officers, these
We're all shot in line. In all we took a.
bout rs wounded. On the field in front o.
our line we found so wounded rebels. Nc
small number of rebel dead still in sight
and are scattered in the woods to the right
and left. We took prisoners from the 1st
3D. Sd, 4th, 5th 9th and 9TH South Carolina
regiments, the Palmetto sharpshooters anG
Hampton's Legion. All these We're of Jen.
kin's Division. Capt. John II. Bowen, 1t
W. f. Norwood and 1t. F. II. Malin were
taken with part of their commands. We
have taken quite a number of rebel non.
commissioned officers. "-
On our Side the 18th n. Y. Col. Orland
the l09th Pa. under Capt. Giber and the
ll1th Pa. Lit. Col. Walker, We're in line or
the front centre, and did the hardest fight
ing-they We're the regiments that repulsec
the enemy's attack both on our line and the
artillery. The 18th New York and 149tt
New York were on the extreme right line
and had some fighting but no very serious
engagement. The Goth Pa, Col. Richard
son, was doing picket duty for the entire
command, and in the first of the attack
s. met with some slight loss. Some of oul
pickets fell in with regiments in line of bat
tie, in detachments, and continued to fight
. there. - Lsrl-s gE 81
