New YORK, May l9.-Coucerning the
bogus proclamation arrests, the CONNER
cial Advertiser says:
On application at Gen Dix's office this
morning; our correspondent learns that no
further orders in relation TO the matter had
been received, but it was expected that the
Government would order the restriction to
be removed some time to day.
Special to the Tribune, Washington, May
l9, l2:lOPM.
Your correspondent, Bella, sends the fol-
loving, dated, headquarters, Army Of the
Potomac, May Is, 1880, P NJ. Since for
warding my last despatch this morning,
The dcsultory skirmish firing which com
menced at sybreak has grown into very
considerable battle. .
The enemy discovering our change of
pusition last night and taking advantage Of
the same, were found to have massed all
their strength on our right, designing no
doubt, one more desperate assault to break
our lines and (get through to our supply
trains.
This movement of the foe of course oc-
casioned reoccupation Of our old positions
of yesterday morning, and it was here upon
our eqtreme right, ard with the I'd and 9th
corps that the struggle has been kept up
With more or less severity up to noon to-
day.
Our troops were advanced to within
very close range of their earthworks, when
a murderons artillery lire was opened upon
US with considerable loss, but our own
guns were soou got into position, and un
der cover of their fire we charged and took
their front line of rifle pits, capturing a
considerable number Of prisoners and sew"
eral OF their guns.
At this present writing there is cessa-
ton Of firing along the lines, and the indi'
cations are that there will be No more fight
ing before this evening or TO- morrow morn
ing.
1t is estimated that the rebel loss is
considerably greater than ours, notwith-
standing the momentary advantage OF
their artillery range upon us.
The Vermont heavy artillery, just ar
rived, participated in this fight, and is
highly complimented.
1t is stated that the decisive battle is
not unlikely to be fought right here, and
that within few days at farthest.

THE PREIsDENr's MEssAoE.-We publish
on the fourth page the Annual Message of the
President, to the I'd session of tho 3sth Con.
gress. It is an interesting document. and
presents, in brief and comprehensive shape.
the condition Of our national affairs. The
state Of the Government finances we conceive
to be in an eminently satisfactory condition.
The immense income derived from the In
terual Revenue. IL beginning to demonstrate
what the nation can do towards sustaining
the war when fully aroused, and our capabil-
ity Of maintaining the struggle until favora-
bic issue has resulted. The alarm that the
Copperheads have attempted to excite, by ex-
aggerating the national indebtedness, and
predictions of ultimate bankruptcy, are here
answered by plain array Of figures, and that
fre.brand is extinguished. The President
still stands firm to the Emancipation Proc
lamation, and while he manifssts DISPOSE
ton to deal leniently with those in rebellion,
and still extends the olive branch for a return
to their allegiance, he aftirms that the day
may come when fair words can no longer be
used, and Q resort must be had to harsher
measures than have yet been inaugurated.
We hope and trust that our misguided
brethren win beed the warning. aud put stop
to The terrible war by speedy return to their
allegiance, under the constitution. Space
will not permit Us to refer to other prominent
features Of the Message. nor is it necessary for
us to do 90, as it will bocarsfully read by all
who have an interest in the mighty events
ofthe day.
