these there are a great number of dwell

HEADQUARTERS ARMY POTOMAC,
December 8.
Another reconnaissance was made this morn
ing along the Vaughan road toward Hatcher's
Run, over the same route the cavalry went
yesterday. The force consisted of detach
ments Of several regiments Of cavalry under
Col. Kirum of the 18th Pennsylvania, and the
Sd brigade, LIST division of the "a corps. The
videttes of the enemy were driven across the
run, when sharp fire was opened on our ad-
vance from line of breastworks on the OPP
posite side. After some skirmishing to dis
cover the strength of the enemy, charge was
made across the run, and the works carried
by assault, but not until the rebels had made
good their retreat up the south,side. Our men
took possession of the captured entrenchments,
while skirmishers were thrown out on Doth
Hanks. Soon after report came tnat the
enemy were moving up and across the run,
half mile west of the road where our troops
were. and evincing an intention to attack our
right flank. Gen. Miles at once disposed his
command TO receive thrm. He also sent back
for reinforcements, which were given him at
once: but the enemy did not make their an.
pearance during the afternoon, and it was be-
iieved they fell back to a stronger position at
Armstrong; Mills, mile and q half to the
west. r..s5 81. ,5 - $1,000

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
Our fullfles Of Richmond papers up to yes
terday morning, including the Richmond Wing
Of Dee. ., arrived late tonight, owing to de-
tention OF the mail boat by the storm The
silence of most of them on Georgia matters Is
probably the most significant fact connected
with them.
The Wing of Thurday evening, the 9Th, says
cup TO late hour last night no official dis
patches had reached the War Department
from Georgia We are confident that we shall
yet announce the thorough discomforture of
Sherman" The Wing says, editorally, "If
Sherman gets through to the sea coast it GER
tainly will be a great .humiiation to the Con-
fedefacy, but 1t will not be more than humil-
iation."
The Sentinel of the 9Th has nothing in its
news columns, but says editorially, ..the inior-
nation from Georgia indicates very little pro-
gress from Sherman. He seems to be COM
paratively quiet somewhere near the banks OF
the Ogeechee River, while his cavalry is sent
out to explors an exit. Whether Darien,
Beaufort or Savannah is his object Is still in
doubt. We think Beaufort after Savannah is
Sherman's choice. If that proves impracti-
cable he will attempt Darien or Brunswick.
The Daily Despatch of Thursday, the 9Th,
says: We had no news from Sherman yester-
day. AT last accounts he was believed to be
moving for the coast and our troops were con-
centrating to obstruct his route. ~ s \.
We are glad to see from Augusta papers
that the Railroad Companies in Georgia are
going to work to repair their railroads.

We learn that the model of the colossa
statue of Maj. Gen. Berry, upon. which Sim
mons has been engaged during the summers
has just been completed, and that the cast in
plaster will be on FREE exhibition during the
week, at the Senate Chamber, New City

portrait statue ever executed in Maine, and
also the first yet modelled of general who
has fallen in the war of the rebellion. Would

which the culture of the fine arts, should be
regarded as one Of the duties Of the govern.
ment and the people ia
When chiseled In marble, it is designed, as
is already known, to stand In the city of Rock
land, as an adequate memorial OF the heroic
life aud character of the fallen general, and a
worthy tribute to his memory. He is repre-
sented in the statue as standing in the field, In
an attitude of repose, with right foot advanced,
his body resting upon the left. His right
hand holding spy-glass, rests upon stump,
over which his mantle has carelessly fallen,
while his left arm is thrown naturally behind
him. There is calm intensity in his whole
presence, and high and serene look of COM
mand pervades his massive features as he
gazes into the distance.
