Wamiikoton, Auguat 2. Advices from
the Army of the Potomac have bem received
p to ton o'clock yesterday morning. Tim
Vnsuecersful attempt on the lines of rvters
Varg has been succeeded by a lull, whit h will
probably lost for some time, and exclude the
hop of any great military opcratloni for soma
days.
In Northern Virginia we shall doubrlose
have a series of tuhior operations, with a view
o expandon of the Invading foro from
the valley of the Shenandoah. Meanwhile
she failure of Saturday loot will have en
couraged Lee to make still bolder uVmonstrn
tione In this vicinity Maryland and Penn
sylvania.
Energetic measured, however, have been
taken to meet these designs; and although
details of the amount of force In the vicinity
are not allowable, It Is not Improper to say
ttiat we have on the lines covering Wash
faigton, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, a force
.oal In Itself to an army, finch appoint to.
be the military aspect of aff.ilrs both lu the.
East and West.
On Monday morning an Informal application
wm made to the enemy by the Medical Direc
tor of the Oth Corps for a truce to bury the
dead between our lines and those of Um
enemy, and to supply the want of such of
our wounded as still remained there.
The enemy demanded a formal application
from General Meade to Gcueral Loe. S ich
an application was conveyed by Major Lyd"o,
oriiornside's staff. The result of this appli
cation has not yet transpired. Our Ionsee In
Saturday's fight have not been definitely as
certained yet.

Wabhimotoh, An en -it 3 Despatches from
headquarters of the Army of the Potomac to Jilv
31, 9 P. M., ay that tha exact los-es In tho
hauls of yesterday have not hen nuVlilty ascer
tained, but as sear as cm t judged, will foo- up
about twcn:y-rWe bundred, not inchi ling the
kissing-, and many believe tho figured wl!l tarn
at to be larger.
la the hospitals of th'? 9th Corps, the let Dlvl
skin has 206; the 2d Division, 307 ; tha 3 I U.vi
sk,341; the 4th Division (colored). 623; to
Ides a Urge number lying on the field, bc'.srocu
the lines, who cannot be got off.
The 18th Corps lost nearly 300 men. while
;t Turner's Division, of the 10th Corps, hid noarly
00 killed and w mnried.
A flag oftiuenas sent out to the enemy t.
day for the purpose of getting the reme'nder otr
tke tie-Id, but it was refused, the reason not belog
given.
General Butler also sent a flag of tm ic fro n
his Hits to-day, whloh was also refused, tha
efrWr giving no renson except his orders, hlcu
were peremptory, uot to receive a dg under a ly
elreuan-tances. -
.Th.y also refuse to exchange papers, and the
sen are so clusely wa'ched by their orti :urs th a
they lave do ch .nee of exchanging, ihougb they
aie iilways willing o do so.
There inut he same good re ison fur this, and
winy belloe their lino is very weak, while others
think they have some extrusive move on foot,
and are abruid i f ts becoming known to us.
The r.ild Into Pennsylvania may bj the renin
and they wish to keep it as q liot as possible. All
tha wuDuded that have been brought It are beiug
well eared for, the medical arrangements beiug
ample.
Tbe lints of the two armies are about the me

of onr forces having arrived within shelter of our
wi Iks, (jetieral Ilartrauft now attempted to fol
low with bis brU'ade. and for the Arxr ri,.,. ,1,
tecied that he was in great danircrof being bagited,
hv reason of tbe enemy having craftily impeded

ceeded in ettricaiing the greater portion of his
troops, although he could not SHve hisioitlre er.m.

that General liartlett lost a leg at Fort Hudsou,
and ased a false one : that being broken in Ihe
last aielee, rendered it iiuoossiliie. for this callaut
,young general to move henoe his capture.
Ihus ended this first miniug operation and
attack against Ihe enemy's works. If it elfectod
tothlng else, it developed the strength of the
Itebelworka at the point where tbe attack was
mode. Our losses are not as largo as those of the

' " From Chattanooga to Marietta there is pre
sented to the eye one vast sheet of misery. The

seek shelter iu the mountains. Chios sacked,
towns burnt, iKipulation decimated, are so mny

chiefs of tills most wicked and causeless Rebel
lion, All along the roads are great wheat-Holds
iu which no sickle will enter; crops sutlteltnt to
feed all New F.uglaud are to be lost for want of
laborers.
"Tlie owners have been driven Into the Rebel
army by a merciless conscription, und the blacks
have been sent further routh. I saw enourjh of
this country to get a most vivid ami painful iin
pressionof tbe horrors of war. '1 ills Is a beau
