OUR GAIN.
The TriJatns's special from the Army of
the Potomac says. our gain by this move
ment SO far, is the extension cf our line
about five miles southward of the Boyd
town plank road.
A STORM PREVENTS FIGHTING.
A snow and sleet storm this morning op-
crates against fighting, but the men are i'm
proving their time by Strengthening their
position.
BFFECT OF THE CONFERENCE.
The reception Of the rebel peace commits
sioners within our lines had the effect to
slacken up desertiOn from the enemy.
The failure of commissioners is already
followed by a greater influx Of deserters
than ever. They say that when they saw
peace movements actually on foot, they
waited to see the result, as soon as they
saw it was to be no peace they started.
ADVANCED.
The T7-ibune's special, of the sth, says;
We made q gain Of five miles on our left,
being strongly fortified, this morning, and
will be able to hold it at all hazards. This
is magnificent for US, and q corresponding
loss 70 the enemy.
The cavalry are still accommodating to
the west and southwest.
1t has been developed by this movement
that Lee had sent several divisions of his
troops against Sherman, thus materially
weakening his lines.
Our army line of railroad is to be imme-
diately pushed out to Boydtown Plank
Road and will soon, no doubt, be connected
with the South Side Railroad. We are
within easy artillery range Of the South
Side Railroad already.
