We learn that the Secretary of War has or.
dered that the city of Washington be cleansed
by the military force, and that Capt. Merritt
Quartermaster, is assigned to the duty of " po
liclng" the streets and placing them in q san
itary condition. If Capt. Merritt does thlt
work well, 1t will be one of the most merltori
Gus acts of his life, and the hearts of the poo,
pie will be filled with gratitude to the Secretary
of War for this beneacent measure. A small
army of men should be set about the work i'm
mediately.
1t will be seen by the official order of Col
Wisewell, military governor, upon this subject,
that the duty Of cleansing and dsinfectlng falls
primarily upon the owners and occupants Of
property, but If they fail in that duty, tho mill
tary arm will WELD the broom at their ex,
pense. The weather is hot and the process
will be summary.

From th. Army OF the Potomac.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac,
June 23, p. m.-The attack upon the Cd corps
on Wednesday, near the Weldon railroad, did
not result 80 disastrously as at first supposed.
The line was formed by Barlow's division,
being on the left; Burney's, Mott in command,
In the centre, and Gibbons on the right.
II was expected that the 9th corps would
connect on the left with Barlow, but II seems
quite gap was lefl, into which A. p. HIPS
rebel corps entered, and before our men were
aware Of II they received volley from the rear,
which created panic In our ranks and caused
rapid retreat TO the woods in the rear Of the
Sd division.
This LEFT the flank Of the Sd division unpro.
tected, and the enemy taking advantage OF II
charged through and fairly into our pits, Or
dering our men To surrender.
The troops, however, left the trenches, and
fell back rapidly, but many Of them were cap
tured and quite number killed aud wounded
before they got away.
The number Of our loss IN prisoners Is re-
ported at one thousand, while some make the
figure higher.
Our loss IN killed and wounded is probably
fifteen hundred.
Some of our officers engaged in this fight
had Just Joined their commands, after being
exchanged, and when surrounded and ordered
to surrender, they replied, "Never death
rather than the Libby Prison 20 and fighting
succeeded In getting back safe TO our lines.
AT p. m, charge was made by the Cd
corps, and the line Of works from which they
had been forced In the afternoon was recovered.
We lost scarcely a man in this advance, as
the rebels fired too high, the balls all passing
over the heads Of our men. A number of pris-
oners were taken.
Skirmlshing was kept up all night along the
line, the piCksts being at some points not fifty
yards apart.
At daylight this morning an advance OF the
entire line was made, when II was found that
the rebels had taken q new position some dis
tance further back, where they had thrown up
some strong entertainments during the night,
which they still hold.
Col. Blaisdel, OF the 11th Massachusetts,, was
killed to-day by q sharpshooter while visiting
the skirmsh line.
Lieut.. W. H. Child, OF the 45th Pennsylya-
mia, who was to have been reinstated yesterday
as first lieutenant, was shot dead by q rebel
sharpshooter on Thursday evening.
Maj. Halsey, Of the 11th New Jersey, is
missing, and is supposed to be captured.
The 9th corps moved toward the railroad,
this morning, driving the enemy before them,
and during the afternoon reported that they
were in possession Of the road, and arrangements
were at once made TO destroy II.
At 5 p. m, a large force Of rebels was seen
moving towards the front, as If 10 resist the
advance Of the 9th corps, and an engagement
In that quarter is expected tonight.
JUNE "a, O'Clock q. m.-Nothlng but picket
firing took place during last night, and very
little Is going on this morning.

THE effort of Governor Seymour to procure
the prosecution of the military officers for the
seizure and temporary suppression of the New
York World and Jo1rrGl Of Commerce has
failed. The subject was presented to the Grand
Jury, but that body had higher views of its
duty and adopted the following:
Resolved, That the Grand Inquest repre-
sent TO the honorable court that in their judg.

ject referred to in the communication of the

Gen. shsrmans Operations In Georgia.


A recent letter from Sherman's army TO a
Western paper asserts that Gen. Johnston has
been relieved of the command of the rebel
army, and that Gen. W. j.. Hardee has taken
his place. The letter in which we find this
does not seem TO be from any well-informed
source, and yet II may, nevertheless, be true,
as the conduct OF affairs lately in the rebel
army has been very different from that in the
preceding part of the campaign, exhibiting
decidedly more ability and vigor.
1t would be folly to attribute any of this to
Johnston, who is clearly one of the failures of
this war, as late English paper has remarked.
II Johnston is still in command, somu superior
must be at his elbow directing him-most prob
ably Bragg or jeff. Davis.
The management of this campaign by Sher-
man must certainly be reckoned among the
great achievements of the war. His real base
Of operations is Louisville, from which he Is
now distant fully five hundred miles.
Nashville and Chattanooga are only military
depots, and the whole of the long line of COM
municatlons from Louisville to Kenesaw Is
through country constantly exposed to rebel
attacks in every part. The protection of this
line against this danger is a constant source of
anxiety to Gen. Sherman. Thus far he has
succeeded marVclously in all his enterprises,
and more especially in guarding his line

ExAsaERATED REPORTS,

We observe that nearly all the newspaper
reports continue to eTaggsrate the results of the
affair Of the 22d, regarding our losses. One
paper, for instance, states that we lost 1000
men captured and as many more in killed and
wounded. We have official authority for say
Ing that this estimate is more than double our
losses in that affair. Besides, before the strug-
gle ended, the enemy lost as many as we did.
