gDuring the past week the news
from the several. divisions Of our
Grand Army has been as favorable as
could be desired. -
On Wednesday the 25th Grant was
South of the Northanna river, which
he crossed in the face Of the most de-
termlned opposition. Lee took up a
very strong position, which he had
previously fortified, on the Southanna,
expecting Grant to attack him with
in his entrenchments. On Thursday
night, making some show of attack,
in order to occupy Lees attention,
Grant quietly recrossed Northanna,
moves his army to the South. and
strikes the Pamunky at Hanovertown
which the left wing of his army eros
sed. HIS headquarters we've then
(Friday at Monohiche Church, six
teen miles from Richmond. 2 This
masterly movement of Grant shows
that he is master of the situation. If
Lee enters Richmond his fate is seal
ed. Buffers force was within thirty
miles of Grants army on F.iday, and
probably by this time have formed a
junction. II. Lee could not fight Grant
on open ground, he will hardly be
able to cope with the united forces of
Grant and Butler. 81

SCENES AT WASHINGTON.

DIV. Vorhees, a copperhead men,
ber of Congress, made an assault up
on Senator Chandler, of Michigan. in
the dining hall Of the National Hotel,
Washington, few days since, in con-
sequence of some remarks made by
Chandler to DR.. Clark and a lady with
whom he was taking dinner at side
table, relative to the course of West
ern copperheads, which Vorhees con-
sidered as personal. Voorhees, struck
Chandler on the face, when the latter
closed with him and would have
soundly drubbed him but for the in
reference of another Michigan cop
perhead named Hannegar. who struck
Chandler on the head with a heavy
milk pitcher, stunning him with the
blow, and following it up by a second
blow from a chair. The affray was
repetition, on a small scale. of bull
ly Brooks attack on Charles Sumner.
Hannegsn is a son Of Senator Hanne-
gan, who in a fit of drunkenness shot
his brother in law dead. and who, as
Minister to one of the European
Courts, disgraces the nation by his
drunken brawls.
The son has followed in the same
track, and was arrested not long since
for shouting for jeff Davis on the
streets of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., of
insulting any body who
chanced to pass. After apologisfng
in the papers in a most abject and de-
basing manner, he was liberated, and
is next found displaying his copper
headism by attacking Senator Chand-

EFFrom Gen. Crooks army we
have nothing of special importance
1t is in camp at Meadow Bluff, and
has been largely REINFORCED. by old
regiments, whose places have been
filled by the National Guards oi
Ohio.
The chief difficulty Gen. Crook
has to overcome, is obtaining sup
plies. The country is destitute OF
every thing like food for man.
Grass is abundant for the horses
d mules, but on long forced marches
if confined to it alone they soon
become unseryicable. His army has
been obliged to subsist on short ra-
tions, but is now receiving large
supplies from Gauley.
Every thing indicates another
forward movement and Gen. Crooks
is not the man to delay it very
long.

divisions of cavalry, took possession
of Hanover Feuy and Hanoverton,
finding there only a rebel vidette.
The 1st Division Of the 9th Corps
arrived at 10 A. NJ and now hold
the place, with sufficient force of
cavalry and infantry and artillery to
resist any attack likely to be made
upon it The remainder ofthe corps
are pressing forward with rapidity.
A later dispatch, dated Z o'clock
this morning, the 2Sth, from head
quarters, says Maganick Church,
has been relieved.
1t reports that everything goes on
finely. Weather clear and cool -
The troops came up rapidly and in
great spirits, and the army will be
beyond the pamunky by noon. r.
Breckinridgtis is at Hanover Court
House with . force variously repor-
ted frem 5000 to 10000. Wickham's s
and Lemassesf tbrigades of cavalry
are also there.
The dispatch further states, that
after seizing Hanover Ferry, yester-
day, Gen. Terbent captured seventy
five cavalry, including six officers;
that the rebel cavalry is exceedingly
demoralized, and fed before ours
on every occasion.
A dispatch from General Sherman,
dated May %. six A. NJ. near Dallas,
reports that the enemy, discover
ing his move to turn Altoona, mar
ched TO meet our forces at Dallas.
Our forces met the enemy about
one mile west of the. Pumpkin. Vine

about three miles to the point where

Dallas, the center about three miles
north. The country is densely wood

consequence.
