Six or eight weeks ago the Copperheads
we're full Of tho intention of ofnominating q on
Grant for President. But their tune has
wonderfully changed since then for some
reason. At the Mcclellan demonstration In
New York the allusious of the speakers to
Gen. Grant were received with "groaus.
Tho New York WorIds report is inter.
spersed with such parenthoses as these, at
the mention of Gen. Grants name" groans
and cries of the butcher | the butcher ~
great excitement, groans for Grant and
Lincoln renewed cries of Grant, the
butcheri" One speaker remarked that ''if
Gen. Grant had bagged the army of Lee,
and put down the rebellion, he might have
been President Of the United States, and
many voices " cried "no, never" ETC., etc.
The two predominating characteristics
of the Mcclellan meeting were groans and
hisses at the mention of the name of Grant
or Lincoln and loud cries for peace on any
terms, no matter what.

WAsHISsToN, May 2s.-To Maj.
Gen. Dix An official dispatch from
Headquarters of the Army of the
Potomac, at Magolick's Church. 10
miles from Hanover town, dated yes
terday afternoon at 5 p. M, has just
been received. 1t states that our
army was withdrawn to the north
side of the North Anna, Thursday
night, and moved towards Hanover
town, the place designated for cross
ing the Pamunky. AT o O'Clock yes
terday friday morning Sheridan,
with the LIST and Cd Divisions of
Cavalry, took possession of Hanover
ferry and Hanover town, finding
there only rebel vidette. The 1st
Division of TIE 9th Corps arrived at
10 a. m, and now hold the place
with sufficient force of cavalry, in
tsntry and artillery to resent any
attack likely to be made upon him
The remainder of the Corps are pass.
ing forward with rapidity.
A later dispatch, dated Z o'clock
this morning, %, from Headquarters
at Magolick Church, has also been
received. 1t reports that everything
goes on tinely-weather clear and
cool. The troops come up rapidly
and in great spirits and the army
will be beyond the Pamunky by noon
Breckenridge is at Hanover G. H.
with force variously reported from
$4,000 to 100000. Wyckham's and
Lomar's Brigades of Cavalry are also
there.
The dispatch further states that
after selling Hanover ferry yesterday
General Torbaut captured rs cavalry,
including six officers-that the rebel
cavalry is exceedingly demoralized
and fees before ours on every occa-
sion.
A dispatch from Gen. Sherman,
dated May 2sth a. m, near Dallas,
reports that the enemy discovering his
move to tarn Atlanta, marched to
meet our forces at Dallas. Our col.
umn met the enemy about one mile
east Of the Pumkin Vine Creek, and
we pushed them back about three
miles to the point where the roads
fork to Atlanta and Marietta. Here
Johnson has chosen strong line and
made hasty but strong parapets off
timber and earth. Gen. Sherman's
right is at Dallas, the center about
three miles north. The country is
densely wooded and broken and no
roads of any consequence. We have
had many sharp encounters, but no.
thing decisive. -..,s4. ..-..-.

Latest from Grant.

WASHINGTON, May, 30.--7o Ma Tor Gen.
eral Dir "A dispatch from Grant has just
been received, dated yesterday, goth, at
Hanover town, ard states that the army has
successfully crossed over the Pamunkey and
now occupies front about three miles south
OF the river. Yesterday two Divisions of
our cavalry had an engagement with the en-
envy south OF Hawes' Store, driving him
about mile, upon what appears to be his
new line. We will find out all about to-day.
Our loss in the cavalry engagement was $50
killed and wounded, of whom but A are
ascertained to have been killed. We have
driven the enemy-most of their killed and
many of their wounded fell into our hands.
Another official dispatch, dated yesterday
p. m. at 2 o'clock, details the movements Of
the several corps then in progress. but up to
that time there was no engagement. Earlier
dispatches from Headquarters had been sent
but failed to reach Washington.
May 31--4 P. Mo Major Genera
Die We have dispatches from Grant
down to o'clock yeaterday p. m. There
seemed, dispatch says, to be some pros
pect of Lee making stand north of the
Chickahominy. HIS forces were on the
Rocheville road, south of Topachany Creek,
between that stream and Hawes' shop, his
right resting on Shady Grove, disposition
for an attack being made by Grant.
Wilson'S cavalry had been ordered to de-
stroy the railroad bridges over the Little
RIVER and South Anna and break up both
roads from those rivers to two miles South
west of Hawes' Shop where the headquar.
tiers of our army were established.
There is yet 10 telegraphic line of COM
munication with Washington.
A dispatch from Gen. Sherman dated
yesterday, 80, 8 a. m, reports no change in
the position of the armies. Some slight
skirmishing had occurred subsequent to the
affair on Saturday.
No intelligence from any other quarter
has been received by this department.
