ARMY NEWS.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY PoToMAC,
March 29-EveninO.


March 29-Evening. I
The route taken by a portion of this ar
my is the same over which it has travelled
several times heretofore, namely, the
Vaughn and Halifax roads, running south
west across Hstcher's Run. The column
started at three o'clock this morning. A
large csvsly force, under General Sheridan,
took the Halifax road toward Dinwiddie
Court House.
The infantry column crossed Hatcher's
Run, on the Vaughn road, but met with no
opposition until they reached within 8
short distance of BoydtoWn Plank Road,
where the enemy's pickets were found and
driven back. Griffia's division was sent
up the Quaker road, and about o'clock in
the afternoon division of the enemy made
its appearance, and not knowing the
strength of our force, formed in line and
charged, but the rebels were repulsed with
heavy loss.
A number of prisoners were taken, and
brought in. They said the move had been
q complete surprise to them, as they ex-
pected an attack in the vicinity Of Fort
Stesdmsn, and their troops had been mass
ed there to meet it. It is believed the
the rebels we're hurrying men towards the
south side railroad sll the forenoon, in
the hope of being able to prevent its
destruction by our forces, but great
confidence WAS felt that Sheridan would be
little ahead, and that by the next night
we would have news of its destruction at
some poiLt near Burksville. If this should
be accomplished it is claimed that the eVac-
ustion of Petersburg and Richmond must
follow. Signed MCGREGoR.

Tho armies in North Carolina are taking
a brief repose. Sherman's forces were
much in need of shoes and clothing, and
other necesssries, prior to striking the fin
ishing blow to the rebel Confederscy.
Ali is quiet at the front. The enemy
show no signs of life. Where they are
and what they ara about appears a matter
of Indifference just now.
Sherman's headquarters are to be re-
moved from Savannah TO Newborn
General Howard's headquarters are 10
be removed to this point from Beaufort.
Five hundred and fourteen bags Of mail
arrived here Sunday and Monday for Sher

The congratulations of the loyal citizens
of this section of North Caro- lins, over the
appointment of Hon. Hugh McOullocb, of
Indians, and Senator Harlan, to the 'Cabi-
net, which were recently forwarded to
Washington, conclude by saying: "These
selections by our esteemed President,
which are so satisfactory to us, represent,
the purity, skill and nobleness Of our sis
ter States of the great West"
Another batch of 500 rebel prisoners ar
rived here from Goldsboro on Sunday.
They left yesterday for the North. More
than half of them desired to take the oath
of allegiance.
A general payment of all troops in this
department has been ordered to be made
up to December 3lst.

Rebel deserters in the vicinity of Meri-

militia fail to srrest deserters he will make
a campaign in their locality and hang ev-
cry one Of them. The deserters are Or
ganized, and the legislature fear their in
fueuce. Forrest appointed his force to

VARIOUS ITEMS.

NEW YORK, March 81.
The Commercials special says: General
Grants prediction that within few weeks
Richmond would be rendered untenable is
about being verified. Much of the news is
contraband, but it does no harm to state
that the combinations are of character
that seem to assure success. The present
between Lee and joint n.
General Thomas is moving upon Rich-
mond from the southwest, with heavy
force. The enemy will be pressed so as to
give, instead OF receiJ Q battle. 20 So
LArER.-Reliable advices from the army
represent that Grants movement is certain
10 secure the possession of the South Side
Railrosd, which is the key to Petersburg
and Richmond.

We have Just seen and contemplated
with mingled surprise and disgust slip Of
paper which purpoTts TO be { style Of fifty
cent. piece of the fractional currency ofthe
United States. Its length is exactly twice
the width of 8 column Of the Chronicle,
while its width is but little more than that
of the old style. 1t SO closely resembles o
ousck medicine label that we involunta-
rily turn it over to see if it "cures corns,
bunions and the hopping cough" on the
other side. There are as many eoiors
about it as on the bsndsna turban ct
snowy negress, and on looking at its style
of execution, we do MOIST all wonder that
it WAS "eng. & print at the Treasury"
No respectable bsnk-note engraving es-
tsblishment would dare to turn out such
piece of work. On the centre of the face,
close by cloud of dust, sits fat, mis-
shapen female, covered with smallpox
blotches. Her right arm rests on hoop
through which may be seen sn owl sitting
on a pile of old clothes in the distance,
and in the right hand is grasped an UNI
brells stick. Her left hand grasps
something which 8 lively mag
ination msyj conceive TO be 3
psir of scales. One foot appears to be
done up in q poultiee. On either side she
Is hsnked by mis- .hspen blotches of bronze,
and lsthe-Work medsllions containing the
word "ffty." The figures $50" appear
in each corner, and all over the face is 8
variety Of legible general reading matter.
The backs OF the bill is printed green, and
bears the figures $50" several times in
green and bronze, together with several
small splotched figures in bronze. The
paper on which it Is printed is of dirty
white color, with veins of pale red hue

ARMY MATTERS.

NEW ORK, Marcn 81.
The TTibtoles Washington special says
An announcement having been made that
the Army of the Potomac had again as
sumed the offensive, it viii not be improper
to state that while troops of the Army Of
the James, on Monday and Tuesday,
crossed the james River and Joined Grant
In his new movement, General Grant him
self left City Point for the front on Tues
day P. NJ. Sheridan, with his cavalry, led
the advance, and by this time has probably
cut the only remaining line of communi-
cation with Richmond, somewhere between
Huntsville and Danville.
The rebels, on Sunday and Monday, had
the bulk of their army massed on their
right, either in anticipation Of an attack in
that direction or preparatory to an evacu-
alton of Richmond.
The telegraph between here and City
Point has not been working for five or six
hours, and if there has been any battle it
is unknown here. It is believed that a
heavy battle took place to-day.
The HeraLGS Washington special says it
is now understood, from the very highest
and most reliable information, that Secre-
tsry Seward was sent for by Mr.. Lincoln
TO come to City Point for consultation, and
that arrangements are actually in progress
| for q military convention between Grant
and Lee supported on the one side by Mr..
Lincoln and Secretary Seward, and on the
other by JEFF. Davis and K. NJ. Hunter.
A grand movement of the army under
General Grant was begun on Wednesday
morning. That this movement will result
in compelling Lee to an early cspitulation
of his army IS regarded in military circles
as inevitable.
A proposition to arrange for a State Con.
vention to decide whether Georgia shall
remain within the rebel COrfsderacy O. re-
tn to the Union, has been defeated in the
Legislature of that Sta,e.

The Split i'm She Fourth Ward.


We publish in our local columns, this
morning, a communication in reference to
the recent unfortunate split in the Fourth
Ward Union nominations. We under
stand that the nominees of the meeting
which was recognized by the City Union
Convention are now the only ones in the
field, the candidates nominated by the 9th
er meeting having generously withdrawn
in accordance with our suggestion yester.
day morning. Under these circumstances
it would seem superhuous to disturb mat
ters by holding another meeting. Let the
Union voters of the Fourth Ward concen.
trate their strength upon the ticket recog-
nizsd by the Convention, and elect 1t By
one of ttose overwhelming mRjoritie'
which in old days earned the banner fol
