zen. Meade's headquarters early this
morning. lie left the south side of tue
Rapiian Yesterday morning. and no ser-
ous fighting had occurred up to that hour.
IL was rot then believed that Meade would
attack Gen. Lee bef,re 10 day
1t was considered possible that no battle
would be fought. as the army only carried
rations for very brief campaign. 1t will
have to fight soon er fall back for fresh
supplies
1t Is probable shat when Meade has fir
ished the work he has undertaken he will
f.Il back upon Frederick- burg. though
nothing is known upon that point.

ment had received nothing from the Rapi>

Mr.. Jewett Declines being a
y M CANDIDATE.
From the Zanesville Aurora.

-
Hon. III. j. JEwETT.-Wc have just
returned from avisit to Mr.. Jewett. who
is confined to his home in the country BY
severe indisposition.. Thefact that he has
been named by many of the Democratic
papers Of the State as their fayorite can
didate for Governor at the ensuing cleo
ton, renders it proper that we should
state the result of our inter fiew with
him.
Although wholly ayerse to receiving the
nomination for Governor, he hsd deter
mined to submit the matter to the wisdom
of the Convention, and if, in view Of his
well known opinions of policy and duty,
he was nominated by the Convention, to
assume the duties and labors Of the CAM
paign. 80 "at.2 e aai Sc aa51t'!. ls'
But since the propriety Of his nomina-
tion has been the subject of discussion,
the business interests and relations Of the
Central Ohio Railroad, OF which he has
for several years been President and active
manager, have undergone many important
changes. To protect the interests which
he has in charge, he regards it as his duty
to give to the Road and its management
his exclusive attention for some months
to come. He would, therefore, be pre-
vented from taking any active part in the
canvass, and hence desires that his friends
shall no longer look to him as the stand
ard bearer of the party through the ensu-
ing campaign. t<a

From fredericksburg.

Z New YoRK, May 25.-1he Tribune S
dispatches from Washington say: DIR.
Fritz, Surgeon Goth New York, arrived
from Fredericksburg yesterday, where he
was detained to attend the wounded, Cen
eral Lee having given orders that SO long
as one of our wounded men remained some
physician attached to his corps should
stay to attend him. Although our woun-
ded were all over the river more than a
week ago, Dr. Fritz was unable to return
until yesterday. He says that prices of
provisions at Fredericksburg are fabulous.
DR., Fritz says the rebel killed and woun-
ded on the field where Sedgwick's corps
fought, outnumbered ours three to one.
Additional fortifcations were building
behind Fredericksburg, as if the rebels ex
pected another attack like those of Burn
side and Sedgwick. eii'sl1
Most stringent orders were issued for
bidding our pickets from conversing or
exchanging papers or holding any commu-
nication whatever with rebels over the
river, on pain Of being shot. Nevertheless,
the practice continues.
IT was reported in Hooker's army that
Governor Seymour, Of New York, is about
to pay the army a visit.

Rebel Movements In Tennessee.

PHILADELPHIA, May 27--The BulIc-
tin has the following special: 80 asa
MURFREEsBoRo, May 26.-Col. Wiltler
with his mounted infantry returned this
p. NJ. from a trip in the direction of Me-
Minnville whittier he had gone in search
of the rebel cavalry under Col. Brcckin-
ridge. The enemy's pickets were encoun-
tered short distance beyond Woodbury..
The firing attracted the rebels in the Vi
cinity who collected in considera Bic num-
hers to annoy and impede our advance.
A running skirmish was kept up for sew
eral miles, twelve miles this side of Nc
Minnville, our forces came on the camp of
Breckinridge's forces who hastily de-
camped Wilder succeeded in capturing
9 prisoners, 35 horses and 80 head of beet
cattle. Having secured the prisoners and
burned the tents and baggage our forces
pushed rapidly forward skirnishing and
driving the enemy for several miles when
our forces returned to Murfreesboro.
Among the papers captured was a gen
eral order issued by Bragg on the 18th.
directing the soldiers and wagons and
baggage calculated to retard the march to
be removed to the rear. Prisoners also
say all the cavalry under Morgan arc or
dered to report at Columbia within 5 days
that the forces under Harrison comprising
5sregiments were preparing to move, and
that Morgan was falling back to Sparta
to join Wharton who is also preparing to
move. The opinion is, that Bragg will
evacuate. The railroad between Tulla-
homa and McMinnville is repaired with
the exception of thes bridge, aud trains
are again arriving on the road.
A special from Cincinnati: the 2'Sth to
the ssPress says there is large force OF
rebels at Charlotte, Tenn, near Clurks-
