Special Report.
NEW YORK, Nov. {

.. ShANI 3 LATE hON EAENI6-
The Times Army of the Potomac special
says: ..
We understand that the last movement
was simply reconnaissance in force. Gen.
Grant determined to ascertain the actual
strength Of the enemy on the left. Such
an investigation could only be effected by
concentrating a large body Of troops to
feel their way through this country, COM
paratively unknown to US, but every part
of it to the enemy. Orders were simulta-
neously sent to Butler not to attack, but to
engage the attention of the enemy on the
right for the double purpose OF preventing
them from massing against the left and to
ascertain their actual strength in that d.
rection. The enemy was found entrenched
in works. s
The results of the movement are in our
favor, we capturing 1000 prisoners, while
losing less than 1000 in killed and wound
ed, which are about equal.
The health of the army is excellent

The late treaty with Italy continues to
occupy large share Of public attention.
