At 0 o'clock yesterday, Friday morning,
Sheridan, with the 1st and I'd divisions of
cavalry, took possession of Hanover ferry
and Hanovertown, finding there only rebel
vcdette. The lst division of the 9th corps
arrived at 10 A. NJ, and now hold the place
with sufficient force of cavalry, infantry and
artillery, to resent any attack likely to
be made upon him. The remainder of the
corps are pressing forward with rapidity.
A later dispatch, dated Z O'Clock this
morning, the 2sth, from Headquarters,
Magahick Church, has also been received.
1t reports that everything goes on finely
The weather is clear and cool. The troops
come up rapidly and in good spirits, and

demoralized, and tlees before ours on every
occasion.
A dispatch from Gen. Sherman, dated
May 2Sth, 9 A. NJ, near Dallas, reports that
the enemy discovering his move to turn
Altoona, marched to meet our forces at
Dallas. Our columns met the enemy about
one mile east Of the Pumpkin Vine Creek,
and we pushed them back about three milss
to the point where the roads fork to Atlanta
and Marietta. Here Johnston has chosen a
strong line, andmade hasty but strong para
pets of timber and earth.
Gen. Sherman's rights at Dallas, the cen
tire about three miles north. The country
is densely wooded and broken, and there
are no roads of any consequence. We have
had many sharp encounters but nothing
decisive.
No other dispatches from any other field
of operations have been received to-day.

HEADQUARTERS, II A. M.-May 25.-At
the same time Birney's division carried the
rebel rifle pits and North Anna bridge, our
right wing, under Warren, advanced, cut
ting the Virginia Central and establishing
himself at Noel's Station. The rebel line
forms two sides of triangle; its apex be-
ing opposite Oxford, where Burnside cross
ed on the night of the 24th. From the apex
of the rebel line, its right line extends in
north-easterly direction, crossing the Fred
ercksburg railroad at an angle of forty-five
degrees and covering the junction; its left
wing extends in south-westerly direction,
cutting the Central railroad and facing
north-westward. Hancock confrOnts the
enemy's right wing on our left, and extends
his line parallel with that of the enemy
across the Richmond & Fredericksburg Il
Potomac railroad. Burnside's line is in
position opposite the apex CT the enemy's
works. and faces south-ward. The enemy's
works in front of Hancock can only be car
ried with great loss.

The CALVIN TERCENTENARY.-On the
9th Of this month 1t was three hundred
years since the great theologian, John CAL
vim, died. In Europe the anniversarywa
very generally celebrated, and as the two
great Presbyterian Assemblies Of the Uni
ted States were in session at the time, it
was suggested that they also commemorate
the event. Calvin was born at Noyon, in
Plcardy, in 1903, Luther being, his senior by
25 years. His parents were Roman Cath
olics, and remained in that faith until their
death. He was educated in the same faith
at Noyon and at Paris, with. the idea of be-
coming priest. In early manhood, having
obtained 'living," he changed his religi-
GUS views, greatly under the influence OF
Luther's writing and preaching, and from
this period he impressed his genius upon
some of the most powerful denominations
in the world. In the opinion of Bancroft,
our American institutions bear powerful
races of the mind of the great Genevan
theologian, and Ranke, the Berlin historian,
goes as far as to say, "Calvin is the virtual
founder of the United States of America"
His influence on the world has certainly
been tremendous, and those Churches which
owe their system Of theology and church
government to him, can most appropriately
celebrate the tercentenary of his DEATH Il

NEAR HANOVER JUNCTION, May 25-9
A. M.-Therc has been no general engage
ment thus far, although our advance be-
yond and the possession of the south bank
of the North Anna has been retarded by
the presence Of the enemy. Skirmishing
continued through the entire day, and
there was hardly an interval during which
artillery was not engaged on either side.
Hancock, before night, had thrown his en-
tire corps across the river on the left near
the railroad, and our position was taken
one mile and half in advance of the river
along Bull Marsh Creek.
The Ninth army corps commenced
crossing late in the day, and was all over
last night. Preparations were made for an
assault on the enemy's works towards eve
ming, but the sky rapidly darkening with
clouds which gathered and burst in the
most furious storm of thunder and light
ming and rain, and the most sublime dis
charge of heavy artillery in the clouds SUI
perseded the attack which was to have been
made, This morning the sky was clear,
and the weather warm.
Warren holds position along the Cor
louisville road on the right. We have sew

seem to have abandoned without very OBJ

large railroad trestle bridge across the
North Anna. Grants headquarters are be-

They have been circuiting around Rich

WASHINGTON, May 29-The Secretary of
the Treasury has directed the Assistant
Treasurers of New York, Philadelphia and
Boston, to receive per cent. legal tenders
with undetached coupons at full amount of
face, and June coupons in payment for the
1910. The subscriptions to this popular
loan continued to flow in at the rate of a
million day, and if the new internal rev.
enue and tariff acts were in full operation
the revenue from the sources would, it is
thought, pay the entire expenses of the
Government. To provide in the meantime
for the pay of the army and for the ex-
penses of the great military movements now
in progress, bonds of the loan of 1881 to
the amount of $500 5000 or $75, 100000 will
probably be offered through Assistant
Treasurers and National Banks to the
highest bidders. H. ..s -...r.. r.r.

When their occupants were driven from

the enemy were rapidly moving their whole
army on our right flank, and had been since
daybreak, the force in our front being a
mere handful who had been left to keep up
appearances. AS soon as this reconnois-
sance was over everything and everybody
was on the move with us.
