The Army of the Potomac.

NEW YORK, May ~.
A dispatch dated Headquarters Army
of the Potomac, May 18th, saws Yes
terday was spent in making preparations
for an attack this morning, and we ex-
pect battle to-day, provided Lee has
not disappeared, which is not at all
probable,-the published reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding His army
was in strong entertainments yesterday,
in front of the Fifth corps, on the stage
road,-fifteen guns being counted in one
place, with strong lines of earthworks
wherever the openness of the country
permitted view. Last night body of
stragglers arrived here, from Washing
ton, to the number of six hundred. in
GLIDING seventeen officers; some of them
having surgeons certificates of disabili-
ty, ard others slightly wounded. Gen.
Meade has ordered the latter to be tried
by court martial.
Many designations have been sent in
within the past few days, all of which
are to be accepted for the good of the
service 1t is believed that no officer
capable of and disposed to do his duty
will resign.
1t was reported yesterday afternoon
that the enemy was moving columns of
troops and wagon trains towards Bow
ling Green under the impression that
our army was endeavoring to turn their
right.
This morning at o'clock firing OPEN
ed brskly on our right, and it is believ-
ed that Gems. Grant and Meade intend
ed to push the rebels sharply.
A large force of cavalry from the dis
mounted camp have arrived here with
fresh horses, and will be of great service
to the army in the absence of Gen. Sher-
idan's command.
.M.-From the firing, it is believed
that the enemy are falling back-the
sound comes fainter and fainter.

WAsHrsoToS, May 1860 7. NJ,
We have dispatches dated at half past
8 o'clock this morning from Gen, Grant,
Last evening an effort was made by Ew-
ellis corps To turn our right. They were
promptly repulsed by Barnes and Tyler's
division and some of Warren's troops
that Were on the extreme right, About
three hundred prisoners fell into our
hands besides many killed and wounded,
Our loss foots up little over 600
wounded and $50 killed and missing -
Gen, Grant says that probably our killed
and missing are over stated, Over 20
600 veteran reinforcements have been
forwarded to Gen. Grant. The condi,
ton of the army and his contemplated
operations are entirely satisfactory
The amy is abundantly supplied,
Under Instructions from this depart
ment To Col. Sheiver commanding at
fredericksburg and vicinity, nine per-
sons are in custody, who were supposed
to be engaged with Mayor Slaughter
The mayor had made his escape before
intelligence of the outrage reached Fred
ericksburg. The sick and wounded who
could not be transported over land will
be brought here by water transports.
Dispatches from Gen, Sherman, dated
at Kingston, 10 o'clock last night, states
that during the day he had pushed a
column beyond that place in pursuit OF
Johnston, as far as Cashville, and that
there were skirmishes in the latter part
of the day with Hardee's corps. The
cars were expected to reach Kingston
to-day. A hard fight at Atlanta is
looked for. No reports have boon re-
ceived from Gen. Butler today.
Maj. Gen. Hunter has been placed in
command of the department of Western
Virginia including the Shenandoah
valley.
The last heard from Maj, Gen. Candy,
he was at Vicksburg.
The Red River was reported to be
blockaded by the shore batteries of the
enemy at different points, but measures
had been taken by him which were be-
lieveved to be adequate for closing the
run of all such distractions and enable
him to reach Alexandria, where he will
take command of the army.

New YORK, May "a.
The Herald's correspondent with Gen.

of a midnight assault the night previous:
The pckets received the fire firmly, and
gradually fell back, when the artillery
opened on the advancing rebels with
whitening discharges of grape and can
ister Siege guns and light batteries
were brought to bear, and the rebels
were moved down like grass. Still the
rebels advanced, receiving another
Strengthening volley, when they halted.
A rebel caison was exploded, scattering
death in all directions. The gunboats
in the Appomattox also joined in she'll
ing the woods, where the rebel reserves
were stationed. Finally the rebels, find
ing our forces so well prepared to re-
ceive them, withdrew, leaving their dead
on the field numbering two hundred
and sixty-three. Ourdefences construct
ed by some of our best engineers, are al
most impregnable.

Gov. Seymour's letter ts District At
torney Hall, in relation to the seizure of
the World and Journal of Commerce says:
1t is charged that these acts of vio-
lence were done without due legal pro-
cess and without sanction of state or
national laws; if this be true, the Often
ders must be punished. If the owners
of the above named journals have violat-
ed state or national laws, they must be
proceeded against and punished by those
laws. Any action against them outside
of legal process is criminal.
The Gov. argues the matter at some
length and concludes as follows:
In making your enquiries &c, in pro-
scouting parties implicated, you will call
upon the sheriff of the county and heads
of police departments for any needed
force and assistance, and the failure to
give this by an official under my control
will be deemed sufficient cause for re-
moyal.
