HoNE AeAIN.-Rev James s. Dickerson,
who has been to the Army of the Potomac
as delegate from the United States Chris
tian Commission, mnistering to the
wants of the gallant men of the Union army.
returned home on Tuesday afternoon last.
He has rendered good service in his humane
and christian mission, and given additional
eyidence-if indeed any such were at all
necessary-by this last and crowning act
whereby be has again made manifest his
deep devotion to the cause of our country,
and his ardent attachment to liberty and
Union. When duty called, he promptly re-
sponded, and hastened to the scene of
carnage and bloodshed, and upon the field of
strife bound up the wounds of the stricken
ones and gave words of consolation to the
dying heroes. He has endeared his name
among the noble christian patriots who
have done so much in the present struggle
for the perpetuity of our free institutions
by words and deeds-for our brave volun-
teers, and to create sound and healthy
loyal public sentiment. He deserves the
gratitude and praise of the loyal men of our
State for his services.
Rev. William Aikman of this city, re
tnrned on Wednesday, from Fredericksburg
where he has been for some time past, at
tending to the wounded, lie has seen many
heart-rending scenes of the horrors of this
dreadful war forced on the people by the
traitors of the South. Like true, chris
tian patriot he has lent his assistance il
this hour of need and bound up the wound.
of those who have been manned by III,
bullets of their enemies. Forgetful Of his OWL
comfort and denying himself the pleasures
OF home, like good Samaritan he has
labored night and day in the hospitals Of
Fredericksburg. Many poor soldier fount
comfort through his kind Offices aud atten-
tion. We welcome both these gentlemen
home again, to receive the thanks and graft
tude of their friends and fellow-citizens.

the North Anna, following closely Lees army.
The 9th and 9TH Corps marched by way of
Harris store to Jerico Ford, and the 9th Corps
succeeded i'll eifecting a crossing aud getting
into position without much opposition. Shortly
after, however, they were violently attacked,
and handsomely repulsed the assault, which was
without much loss to us. We captured some
prisoners. Everything looks exceedingly favor
able to us.
Another dispatch, giving in detail the move
ments Of our corps, and speaking of the rebel
assault on Gen. Warrens position, says SHE was
attacked with great vehemency, and | have
never heard more rapid or massive firing, either
OF artillery or musketry" The attack resulted
III destructive repulss of the enemy. AT the
position attacked by Gen. Hancock, the rebels
were enirenohed, and in considerable force be-
tween the creek he had crossed aud the river.
and made pertinacious resistance to bis onset,
but before dark he had forced them from their
WORKS, and driven them across the stream.
II Is also said that in tLesa engagements the
slaughter OF the army was very great. Our
losses were incousidsrable. The rebels charged
against our artillery, aud suffered especially
from canister.

at 8 O'Clock has also been received. 1t states
the enemy have fallen back from the North Annu
aud we are iu pursuit, Negroes who have come
in say that Lee is falling back to Richmond
Other official dispatches from Headquarters

are pushing forward after the retreating army.
Ten. Warren captured a good number of prison
ers last evening, but has not had time 10 count
them or ascertain his loss
Gen. Hancock, in stOrming the rifs-pits this
slde OF the river, last evening, took between 100
and 2OO prisoners, aud drove many rebels iuto
the river, where they were drowned
General Warren also captured some official
papers, aud among them an order calling out all
the boys IL years Of age, to garrison Richmond.
The ambulance men and musicians are nlso
ordered into the ranks.
General Sheridan WAS at Dunkirk this morn.
