THE POTOMAC ARMY.
WAsHINGToN, March II.

WASHINGTON, March H.
The Intelligencer of this morning
says Rumors, evidently founded on
misapprehension, have obtained curren-
CIV to the effect that the health of Gen.
Meade has become so much impaired as
to induce his resignation of the COM
mand of the Army of the Potomac, and
have gone 50 far as to designate his sue
cessor. We are happy to be able to
state, on good authority, that this dis
tinguished officer has entirely recovered
from his recent indisposition, and that
he has never entertained the remotest
intention of retiring from his position,
in which we will add he has secured the
confidence Of the country and army, and
where he has earned such a high militia
ry reputation. The recent visits OF Gen.
Meade to this city, as we understand,
have been for the purpose of consulta-
ton, and to give testimony before the
committee on the conduct of the war,
and not in view of any contemplated
separation from his command. He was
expected to return this morning to the
command of the army.

IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA,
NEW YoRK, March IA.

New YORK, March IA.
The Palmetto Herald, published at
Port Royal, has an account OF cavalry
reconnaissance from Jacksonville, by
Col. Henry. The advance was checked
by Ave thousand rebel cavalry and IN
ianry. Rebel Lieut.-Col. Mccormick
was killed. Our men were compelled to
fall back, but resisted every inch of the
rebel advance. We were driven about
three miles, when the enemy gave up
pursuit and fell back to Camp Finnegan,
leaving only a strong cavalry force in
our front. Our loss was one killed, four
wounded, and five captured. Rebel loss
reported by deserters, forty or nifty.
Since this affair the rebel pickets had
been driven beyond Cedar Run, by Maj.
Stevens command.
The Hilton Head correspondence OF
the World says Gen. Seymour is still in
command in Florida. The reinforce
ments are expected to retrieve the Oh
ustee disaster.

= KNOXVILLE, March 10.
There was some slight skirmishing
yesterday, beyond Morristown, in which
the rebel Col. James was killed.
The rebels are supposed to be in force
at Bulls Gap.
A Lieutenant engaged in recruiting
for the U. s. Colored Artillery, was shot
yesterday by rebel, near Louisville.
Peace has been ratified with the North
Carolina Cherokees. Those recently
captured say they were induced to take
up arms under the belief that they were
fighting for the United States. Two
were permitted to within reach of the
band and represent the case to their
chief.
Thirty of the tribe have since come in
and accepted the amnesty. Since the
return OF the Indians to loyalty the reb-
els have committed numerous outrages
on them. Twenty-Five have been thrown
into prison and the rest are concealed in
the mountains.

The Attack upon Mobile
NG YORK, March IL.

lOhh,
New Orleans advices OF the LIST, per
Western Metropolis, state that military
movements are still in progress for re-
possessing the country beyond the Te-
che.
At the grand review of artillery and
cavalry near New Orleans on the 9th
ult. the daughter of Gen. Banks was
adopted as the daughter of the brigade.
The bombardment of Fort Powell be-
low Mobile continued vigorously. Reb-
ell batteries replied, but none of our ves-
sells are hurt. The only casualty on our
side was the wounding of one man on
the Octorara.
A letter from the fleet says Farragut
intends to silence Fort Powell so as to
send his musquito fleet into Mobile Bay
By so doing he will cut off Forts Nor
gan and Gaines.
The bay is said to be obstructed three
miles below Mobile, in such manner
that vessels are compelled to pass under
guns of two iron clad ports, and bat
terry from shore. On the west side,
Mobile is defended by a complete line of
entertainments Indeed, Mobile is de-
Tended strongly at every point. The
ram Tennessee still lies in the bay.
Mobile was almost entirely free of SOL
diers-30,000 having gone to meet Sher-
man. Non-combattants had all been re-
moved from the city. A Key West let
ter has rumor that one OF Farraguts
steamers has passed Fort Morgan under
