MORNING REPORT.

GUINEA STATION, May 23-7 P. MA
special to the Times says that the Army Of
the Potomac is again on the march towards
Richmond During the night Hancock 3
Corps, which had held the left of our lines
from the Spottsylvsnia c. H., took up march,
moving onward toward the Ny River The
enemy this morning reached Guineas Station
on the Fredericksburg and Richmond Rail-
road, twenty miles south Of Fredericksburg,
they are still pushing onward following the
railroad and tonight the head of Hancock s
column is at Bowling Green, eighteen miles
south OF Fredericksburg The other Corps
have been to-day following the Same general
line, and are now passing the point which
this dispatch is dated
You will observe from these indications
that the Commanding General ia effected by
the turning movement of his right flank
Lee is hastily falling back to take up a
new position. It is expected that his next
stand will be on the South Ann River, although
he may attempt to beat us, while moving, by
flank, Just as he did when outAanked in his
lines on the Rapidan.
Heavy firing, in fact at this moment, is
heard across the Ny, where one of our
columns are moving, One mile south of West
Guinea Station is point confluence of the Po
and Ny rivers and at this point they have
crossed with Guinea bridges, which is now in
our possession.
Our army, now all gone to the 'front.' was
held before Spottsylvana G. H. for the past
two weeks, Our present front, while a part
is in very advantageous position, regard the
enemy's at the same time perfectly as good.
Our communications, which are via Fred
srcksburg and Aqnia Creeks Railroad will
soon be ell right from Aqua Creek to Fred
ericksburg, and undoubtedly will be put in
order south Of that point-as far as we ad.
vance.

the shadows of fate are gathering, even at
the threshold, which should blaze in all their
gorgeous coloring of hope and premise-

Of hue, the depth Of darkness, was seated up

Uneasy Lies the Head that wears .
Crown.

From shat ge can gather re have come 10
the conclusion that the couch on which
President Lincoln reposes is not strewd with
roses Independent Of domestic troubles
aud the cares, perplexities and anxieties pro.
duced by this cruel war, be has political
difficulties that cause him more grief than
all other causes combined He has fixed
his heart upon being elected President again,
Notwithstanding his repeated advocacy Of the
one term principle To thus end he has en-
ployed all the powers OF Government to aid
10 securing his denomination. The army,
navy and public treasure, have been freely
brought into requisiton. Ia Florida alone a
noble army was ieapordized, hundreds Of
lives lost, hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
spent and the aag Of the Union disgraced in
the futile attempt TO secure two Lincoln del.
egates to the Baltimore Convention. Yet,
notwithstanding the efforts of thirty thousand
federal office holders, bucked by the army
and the navy, Lincoln is in danger Of defeat
The danger comes from his former friends.
He will get the nomination at Baltimore;
that is fixed for never before did President
work so openly and so shamelessy for his
own nomination But the Baltimore con-
clave will not be the only Republican Con
venton. There will be gathering at CleVe.

enthusiasm of the abolition party, which will
