WAsHINGTON, March 29.-Oficers wounded

nothing more than an extended skirmish, owing

but In this affair the Rebels first line of battle
fired at random. Most OF the yolIeys went
high over the heads of our men. The onIv
damage our troops sustained was from the
second Rebel battle line, which was posted be
hind breastworks.
In front OF the Second Corps during the heat

cording to the statements of prisoners cap

gone, and add that our troops begin to seesit

Letters from the Army Of the Potomac, dated

day. stats. that on Sunday the rebels were
drawn up In double line of battle along their
front, from the Appomattox river to Hatcher's
Run, in anticipation of an attack by our forces.
On that day there was considerable skirmish-
ing, sometimes very heavy in front Of the I'd
and 6th corps, and there were expectations of
battle by Monday or Tuesday.
Our troops were massing on the left prepara-
tory to another movement on the Southside
railroad Most OF Gen. Sheridan's cavalry
were encamped in or near Hatcher's RIM The
rebels were also massing large bodies Of troops
on their right to offset the movement on the

Sea Fish ina our Rivers.

The subject of providing for the pas
sage of migratory sea FISH, like the sal
mon and shad, through our rivers Is
now before the Legislature of Massa-
Chuseetts, at the instance of the Legis-
latures Of New Hampshire and Vermont,
the people of which States are greatly
interested in it, 1t is well known that
the upper waters Of the Merrimac and
the Connecticut formerly abounded with
these fish, which formed Il very import
ant source Of supply and luxury They
assembled the rivers in the spring in
myriads, in search of spawning places,
passing up over falls and dams of four
and five feet in hight without any diff
tiGulty. But the dams at Lawrence on
the Merrimac, and at HolyOke, on the
Connecticut, have entirely cut off this
migration, which it is believed might
be restored by works at a moderate eX-
pense, at these and few other places
with no damage to the manufacturers
interested in the use of the dams.
If this be sO-and the point will
probably made clear to the Legislature
it would certainly seem that the request
of the petitioners ought to be granted.
These rivers are in the nature of great
highways, and if in any respect they
contribute to the wealth and service of
the people of New Hampshire and Yer
mont, our use of them ought to be as
little injurious thereto as the nature of
the case will admit. The manufactur-
ers Of Massachusetts are greatly indebt-
ed to the comfy of New Hampshire for
the privilege Of erecting a system of
dams at the outlets OfCertain lakes in the
latter State, by which they secure an in
valuable supply Of water in the dry sea-
son and it is not reasonable to suppose
that they will not show equal liberality
in return, should the opportunity arise.
But such facts as the payment by the
Essex Company, since l848, Of so large
a sum as 500, 600 to the owners of fish
rights for the injury caused by the dam
at Lawrence, would seem to show that
our own citizens have q material inter-
est in the restoration of sea fish to our
rivers, which would alone be worthy of
consideration by our legislators.
The whole question, therefore, will
probably turn on the point whether
passage for fish can be constructed over
the dams referred to without such Diet
riment as would neutralize all the ad-
ysntages to be gained. Those who have
looked into the subject are confident that
this can be done. Ia England the ex-
pedients adopted in such cases are eth
er roll-way extending space of TWEEN
ty or Thirty feet on the dam, or, when
the height is considerable, a fish-ladder,
as it is termed. This is a fume about
four feet wide, from the top of the dam
to the stream below on an inclination
of one foot in seven, with stops at suita-
BILE intervals, af'ording pools or resting
places for the fish in their assent. Such
methods have worked successfully
abroad, and we see that they are at
tracing attention in Maine and else
where in this country The whole sub
ject is certainly worthy of careful ex-
animation. Boston Journal.
