Forbes Dead.
Press Dispatch.


ARMY or THE POToMAC, Feb. =, s Z. NJ
-Nothing of interest has trauspired Oh
the lines today, although the weather
has been more favorable than for several
days past, The troopsare busy building
works along the newly established line,
which will take some days to complete,
when they will commence erecting new
quarters. This will not be difficult
job, as there is plenty of excellent tim
Der in the neighborhood, and the men
have got so used to the work.
Lieutenant Col Fremain, wrongly re-
ported as Major Fremain, of General
Gregg's staff, and of ths 10th New York
cavalry, was badly wounded i'll the eu-
gagement of Monday, died last evening.
He was a gallant officer and much re-
spected and loved by his comrades in the

sistance Of the cavalry division, who fell
from his horse aud was badly injured 4

Tho Line Covering Hateher's Kun TO
be Permanently Held
Press Dispatch.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-The Herald's cor
respondent of the 9Th says that inclem-
ent weather had subsidized, and the brig
ade surgeons report no men as having be-
come disabled by the storm. 1t also
says it is now definitely settled that the
line as now occupied covering Hatcher's
run is to be permanently held, that this
movement which has thus successfully
been accomplished may have other III
terror objects is doubtless true. One
thing is certain, it Will fully occupy the
boasted army of Northern Virginia, and
will prevent General Lee from sending of
troops to reinforce the armies opposed to
Sherman's operations, and enable that
gallant leader to carry out with ease the
programme laid down for him
The fifth corps correspondent says the
results of the movement begin to mani
fest themselves, and it is now clear that
they are greatly to our advantage, and
that in the successful lengthening of our
line and the fortifyimg i'll progress, a de
cisiva and brilliant victory has been
gained aud the battalions of the enemy
we're hurled in vain against our columns
to prevent our establishing 0nA1 mt
line We are move farther toward the
South Side railroad the rattling of the
cars on the track of the road and the
shrill whistle of engines, can now be
plainly heard IL is saying good deal
and don't think it is saying too much
that the entire rebel army in cur
front can't drive Us from our present po-
,ition, and furthermore for them to with
draw any considerable force to aid in the
defenses of Charleston would be extra
hazardous now, compared with what
such withdrawal would have been be-
fore the present movement.

Mr. Linc0ln's Reply 10 the Southern
Comnai..ioncrs-No Hope, Now. OF
Pence.

From the Richmond Sentinel Feb. H.
We see and feel around us that there
are no more reconstructiOnists, no more
submissio iouists, no more peace men. \
terrible reaction is inaugurated. The
spirit of 1861 is revived. We are invig-
grated with the resolve TO conquer or
die. Deserters will return To our ranks,
and those who del ay to do 50 will be
hunted aud shot down in their lurking
places like beasts of prey. Concert Of
action, Jealous cooperation Is all that IL
needed to insure success, and the insult
ing reply Of LincJlu to our com
missiOners will beget these on the in
slant Every man now sees aud feels
that fate worse than death awaits him
if we do not win success. Under such
circumstances it should lie Easy to emu
late, emulate if not surpass, Roman Vir-
tue. Our cause is not near SO critical
as was that Of the Romans after their
stunning defeat at Cannac. We have
sustained no great defeat whatever. In
the past year We have slain thrice a>
many Of the enemy rs We have lost, and
won back from them half the territory
that they held of ours. There is no
cause for panic, none for despondency.-
Some of our people had, indeed, become
tired of the war, but they only needed,
to stir them to renewed cXsrtlons, such
threats and insults as Lincoln has now
supplied When spring sets in, our ranks
will again be filed up. Our enemy may
be less successful III recruiting his own.
which are more depleted than ours His
draft may be a failure. Or should ho
get the men for whom he bids lie may so
increase thereby his national debt as to
preciptate his impending bankruptcy,
and render him no longer able To contin-
ne the war Should he, however, sue
ceed both in procuring men, and delay
ing for the time his financial shipwrcck,
the newly aroused indomitablc spirit of
our people will secure to us ultimate
success. He may capture more cities,
but the country will remain ours, no mat
ter how many posts he may hold, here
and there The immense extent of our
territory will dissipate his numbers, and
destroy his strength He may march
hither and thither through that terrific
ry, occupy il, just 80 long as he is march
ing through il; but, save in the charred
remains attests his barbarity, and inten-
sify our hate, his track will be as that of
a bird through the air, of a ship over the
waters. Our people will rise up behind
him, everywhere, more defiant and un-
snbdued than ever.
