Notwithstanding the news from the Army of the Potomac is not as full and authentic as wo could desire, yet as far as we can learn it is decidedly favorable. Tims far wo have Recounts of two days fighting, both bloody days, iu which our noble troops acted gal lantly, took possession of the field and the rebel wounded, and forced Lee “on to Rich mond.” That Richmond will fall very shortly, we regard as a foregone conclusion. In theso engagements many of our gallant officers and men fell, but the list of casual ties had not readied Washington. Grant, it appears, was determined not to bo interfered with, after ho had commenced tho fight, by the pigmies of the Administration, and ho therefore dosed up all communication in his roar. lie is determined to tako Richmond, and is not going to be thwarted in his designs ns was McCi.eu.an'. The’Administration, thus cut off Irom interfering, will int lune an opportunity of detaching twenty regiments from/Am at the critical moment. Every thing looks bright and promising tiie troops have confidence in Grant, and under his lead will capture the rebel capital and march on to other victories.

The trees recovered their original vigor, and have been fruitful bearers over since. Tar applied to young trees near the surface of tho ground will effectually prevent the borers from mo lesting them. Coal tar answers the same pur pose. Care must be taken not to cover more than a couple of inches above ground.. Gen. Banks. — A Washington correspond ent to the city daily papers, in his letter da ted May 4, says : “An evening paper herertatca, ns it claims authority, that the reports telegraphed 1 from here that the question of superseding Oen. Banks lias been discussed in Cabinet meeting, and that there is dissatisfaction with bis management, or any intention of reliev ing him from bis command, are untrue.” * Of course all such reports “ are untrue.”— True it is, by Banks’ blunders several thou sand Union troops were lost, as well as sev eral millions of dollars in treasure. But no matter for that; Banks is right politically; be iea rampant Abolitionist, and be is the fame man who declared a few years ago that lie paired “to eco the Union slide,” Its has been a d-isunioniat and Abolitionist all his life, and is therefore at liberty to make as many blunders as Vi's pleases. Ho la safe; all the Administration requires of its Gener als is to agree with Aim Lincoln Afuicanus the First in political sentiment; military ca paoitj is not thought of. , XT Forney boosts that “National bonks ore niavtUig all over the country.

RELIGIOUS ANNIVERSARIES. Paring the lust couple months most of the religious denominations of the North have held their regular annual (/.inference and Synod Meetings. ‘These meetings, hereto fore, have been regarded with respect by all good men, and have ovoreised a .salutary iiv fluonue upon professing Christians and others, In addition to attending to the business du- t’os before them, many good addresses and sal mons were delivered, and pn'ycrs. were of fered up to the T hron" of Vfraec tor nil mc?i^ The tcavlringp of Christ, his precepts and ex- ample v/err. nurtrayod, and the objects of the church and the duties of men explained and made plain. Thcn y had any official body oi n.en dared to deny the divinity of Christ, de nunciations mortmain high, would have been hurled against them, and coals of fire heaped upon their heads. Tben x had the Congress uf tho United States, at the bidding of the Picsidcnt, selected a man lor Chaplain who denied thoMhedeemcr and repudiated his gos- pel, what a howl of just indignation would have been heard from the different Confer cnee meetings. Then, however, politics did not rule the church ; then the shedding of blood was not considered a part of tho church doctrine; ihen that enemy of man, of coun try, and of morals, black, infamous, hell-born Abolitionism, had not turned men into do nums, nor were fair women taught to laugh and clap their Utile bauds with joy when u,M uf (he butchery uf a thousand men, many of thorn belonging toTho same church with themselves, ami y-iiic of them having the Mime blood in their veins, Ah 1 vo arc speaking of former habits— tho doings of funner before the “new lights” of Abolitionism had usurped the pulpit and almost everything eUo. llfjw is it now ? We have been watching, with jj» mo interest, tho proceedings of the several Conference -Meetings recently held. The Son of God had been insulted by the people's representatives in Congress, At the dicta tion of Aiuiaiiam Lincoln, a man was elec ted Chaplain of that hod}’ who denies the divinity of Christ, and tramples upon 11 is j rcceptM. He is a good negro-equality Abo litionist, however. Wo have been anxious t> see what the (Liferent Conferences, Synod* and other religious assemblages would haw to sa}’ In referene.e to this Inlidel “ raid” up on the religion we have all been taught to revenJnce. Kat wo have searched their pro ceedings in vain ; not a word of 'eondemrm ti >n has been heard. “ Traitors and cop perheads'' have been denounced, and minis ters silenced because they voted for Wood ward : “ Goui'iimcnt Lincoln” and thej ; ‘‘ majority in Congress” have been eulogized'^ ; '‘.American citizens of African scent” have I j been spoken of as superior to white men, and j whose ” close proximity” with the whites is ; considered a necessity : loud professions of | “ lojtilty to tho Government” we find inter | sperced here and there, and hints at amul i gamation received with approbation 1 Ibut, “loyalty” to the Son of God was-for gotten, omitted. These professing ministers were afraid- to denounce Congress and Lin coln, for having elevated Infidels to office and position—their political prejudices did I not permit them to do this. It is evident that many of them have taken the advice cf i the Inlidel Luklinoame, (one of Lincoln’s • foreign ministers.) and now read an “anti i slavery Lible” and worship an “anti-slavery i God.” ’ They could profess” luyahy” to Lin ; Cii ln , hut had not the courage to defend tho Smi of God, who had been repudiated by the Xation.il Congress. And jet these men— these clerical hypocrlts—those Abolitionists will dire to return to their congregations and offer up prayers to the llcdeemov ! As a specimen of the crazy doings of these Conferences, (or rather Abolition meetings,) about which wo have been speaking, wo copy tho following extract from the proceedings of the General Conference of the Methodist Church, which assembled in Philadelphia last week. They-are similar in sentiment to all the other Conference proceedings wc have noticed. 52 47 5.5 40 40 I*4 I:7’. sn 121 10!) S 2 s;s (U ;;T 27 r>\) -I: 1 . 7 >' I 7'.) j V> I -4 4-7 74 9 l!-77 114. After n Rev. Chaplain (one of Lincoln’s hirelings,) had delivered a prayer, in which he expressed the hope that “ we may contin ue to repose in the bosom of father A nu.uj am (■that means the "smutty joker/ 7 and not the old Aluaham, about whom wo read in the good Rook.) fur four years longer (at good salaries, he should have added, with, stealings into the bargain,) after his present glorious form has expired,” tho proceedings continue: " Rev. Mr. Riley of Baltimore, hero intro duced a resolution that a committee of seven bo appointed.on tho stale of the negro mom- | Lera of the church. . ( 'i'liis resolution was fillowcd by tho most rad'eal Abolition bannngues that it lias been our misfortune to listen to for some time.— All the speakers were in favor of ‘admitting 1 the negroes to seats in their conferences to take part in the proceedings. One speaker thought the white people needed the “fire” of the negroes to stir them up. Another said they must I>e brought in very close prox- ' imity with ourselves in order to elevate them, lie believed they would be far ahead of the white race if elevated. One member very feelingly stated that “ unless we do somethig to take care of the blacks they would take ■ care of themselves.” All were opposed to i any distinction and wanted thorn to occupy seats in the same churches with tho; whites. They were literally opposed to tho founda tion of African churches.” The resolution was finally adopted. Such is a fair specimen of tl.o proceedings of these political Conferences. Formerly, ministers who met in Conference, worshiped Odd and glorified Ihs Son. Aba; they wor ship Aije Lincoln and glorify the negro. Is it to be wondered at that Infidelity haa spread more daring the last three years than it hud in any fifty years previous ? The J preachers assisted to bring on the war, and they are now (of course wc do not mean all of thorn,) doing all in thoir power to contin ue hostilities and* the flow-of blood. ,Should revolution be the consequence, they mayyot feel and regret tho coarse their fanaticism led them to pursue. Lot them pause and re flect. They occupy an unenviable position before nine-tenths of tho people. The old alage that they who sow the storm shall reap Hie whirlwind, may be verified. Simon ’Cameron is talked of as a can didate Tor Vico President on the ticket with old ,Mdc. The U’.nj J’uolc thinks there is no earthly doubt t!m‘„ Simon has vice enough to grace that position. Such a ticket would ho a fine coombimui'-n of .smut and rascality —an excellent rcpsesentalion of the charac ter of the groat shoddy party. •• THIRTY YEAIIS AGO,” The following advertisement Appeared in the Philadelphia /erfoe," of tho 4th inalivnfc; GKOIKIK THOMPSON—A X 0 T lIE R MKinTS’R. -Thirty years ago Uoo.

Pu-li’-. and Chestnut sta.; at tho Anti-Slavery Otiice, 100 North Tenth street, -rtud at the duor. It appears, therefore, that this foreign om asary (who is in tho employ of tho Loyal rhieves League,) had tho unblushing impu lenco to deliver a lecture, in which ho de- nounced us “ Copperheads” one-half, if not a mnjovitv of the people of tho North. NVhy is it that some man of stalwart arm, don t throttle the impudent scoundrel and choke his worthless life out of him ? “ Thirty years ago” ho delivered his first lecture in this same Covenantor's Church. Exactly 1 That was tho very limo tho Abo litionists of tins country commenced their as saults upon tho Union. For twenty years they were a despised faction, and wore re garded and spoken of na traitors by both Whigs and .Democrats. Henry Clay, Dan iel Weiuteu, Jackson, Silas Wblout, and other shilling lights, denounced them ns trai tors who deserved hanging. Thoir object, boldly avowed, was) dissolution of the Union, and Thompson (iho samo Englishman who now lectures for them,) then said, in his speech, that “ the dissolution of the American Union must he constantly kept in view, for this was ihc </rand oljcct.” For uttering this sentiment “ thirty years ago” in Philadel- phia, ho Wits rotten-egged and compelled to leave the city in disguise, for his life was in danger. Whether lie wore a Scotch cloak and cap, as I.incoi.n did when ho entered Washington, wo'di»rcnieinbor. After escaping from Philadelphia lie pro ceeded to Boston, wl.en ho attempted again (0 advocate a dissolution of iho Union, but I'.SNIEI, Wi p.st or “.still lived,” and the En glish Abolitionist and Pisunioniatsoon found oven Poston too hot for him, and ho was glad to escape to England with whole bones. That was the wav this infamous English emissary was received hero “ thirty years ago.” lint now he returns and sees ills cherished hope reali/.ed. He sees our dear country reeling and stnggeiing like a drunken giant. Ho secs our people cutting each other a throats—lather against son, brother against brother, cousin against cousin ; ho sees the Abolitionists whom lie. addressed " thirty years ago” in power and doing the very work he then recommended them to do. Ho could not do loss than return to this once favored and blessed land, that ho might congratulate his political friends lor carrying out so faith fully his injunctions. Great God, what must oven Englishmen think of us as a people when wo permit this monster thus to dese crate our shores 7 Ami this man Thompson—this English disuniunist —is the samo who, finite recently delivered a speech in tiie Hall of tho House, at the invitation of tho Abolition members of Congress’ Ho was introduced to the audi ence by Vico President Hamun, and Presi dent I.incoi.n “ had a seat near the distin guished speaker I” This samo rascal, who i had to leave the country “ thirty years ago” 1 disguised, for fear of personal violence, now ) makes the same speech before tbo President ! he made in Philadelphia before his escape, I and lor malting wi ie'i he was egged, and well-nigh mobbed. But now he is applauded and countenanced by the President ami members, of Congress f.jr his (reasonable sayings ; and now, instead of being kicked from one’city to another, be dines at the Executive Mansion 1 "Well may he laugh, for he lias won a victory—his fond est hope, the dissolution of our Union, ho has lived to see. Ills teachings have been crowned with success, and ho can’ rejoice as he tees cur resplendent glory, our prospects, uur bopts, cur country, pn>a from our grasp. It was fit Hint bo should again' pollute our shores with hb presence, that ho might wit ness the consummation of his devilish designs against a once happy and prosperous people. And it is meet, too, that the party who coin cided with his views "thirty years ago,” should now caress him, dine him at tho White House, and give him churches and the Hull of the .House to lecture in, so that ho can denounce "copperheads” just as he denounced them " thirty years ago." Make a note of it, that sixty-seven Re publicans by voting to lay the following res olutions o-n the table : That tho Union is not dissolved, and that whenever the rebellion in an)’ one of the se ceded stales shall be put down or subdued, either by force or voluntary submission to tho authority of the Constitution and laws, such state shall be restored to all its ,rights and privileges under the constitution of such state and the Constitution of tic United States, including the right to regulate, order, and control its own domestic institutions, free from all legislative or executive control. Voted that the Union was dissolved, and that when a state is subdued; or returns to its allegiance, it is not a state of the Union. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens’s sort of Ecccssiouism has won more adherents than we had sus pected. fUy® Wendell Phillips, in one of his late harangues in Boston, took upon the platform with, him a j'oung saddle-colored female, whom he Introduced as “ the type of the fu ture American worn an* 1 . The abolitionists were so delighted that they crowded towards the platform to caress her. - It is clear that if these crack brained fanatics had their own way, the white race would, soon bo extinct in this country, and their places filled by hy brids.

Militia and their Pay.— The bill which appropriated $700,000 to re imburse the individuals and institutions advanced money to pay tho Pennsylvania sol diers called out by tho Governor in response to n proclamation of tho President, to repot the rebel invasion by the forces' of General Lee, in 1863, and who-were in the actual ser vice of the United States, passed tho House of Representatives, afc r c M r a*hingi.on, on Thurs day, by a vote of 71 to 03, after having been amended by appropriating $15,000,000 to de fray the expenses of other loyal States in re pelling raids. WORDS OF TRUTH AND SOBERNESS. The Truth has been Kepi too long from the I'coplc.” Tho Harrisburg Telegraph of a recent date contains the followingacalhingartiolo, which wo hope .will bo generally read, and' purlieu; lardy by Republicans. The Telegraph, it is known, is ono of tiro most shameless Aboli tion papers in tbo State, whoso editors and proprietors nro all fed upon National or State pap. No paper, wo feel sure, has deceived the people and kept them in ignorance of tiro real state of affairs tnoro persistently than tho Telegraph; bat now it is getting scared ; now it says what tee said a year ago, and for which we received the coarse abuse of tho mis erable wretches who desired to hoodrvrink tho people by their lies and mock professions ot “ loyally.” Wo publish tho remarks of tho Telegraph, then, not particularly for tho benefit of Democrats, for wo have told them tho same truths over and over again, but bo -1 cause wo desire our few Republican renders to ponder over tho sentiments expressed by ’ ono of their own party organs. Wo can endorse nearly every word of tho Telegraph's article. Its intimation, however, that tho success of Grantw’iil “ end the war, ” is a great mistake, and is evidence that the Abolitionists are still blind. That Quant will capture Richmond, wo consider lie has an army three or four times as large' as the rebel General Lee, ond if ho don’t take Richmond, tho entire country will bo dis appointed. Bat that will not end the tear.— Mark that. Tho war cannot and Kill not ter minate under tho present programme of the wretched bunglers at "Washington—it is im-‘ possible. We must come hack to tho starting point, and make the restoration of tho Union and obedience to tho Constitution tho objects of the war; then the victories achieved by our soldiers in tho fudd will not bo won for nothing, and then wo nniy hope for a return of peace. But to the article from the Tele graph : “ AVo aro fast approaching the crisis in the progress of this war. A collision between the Army of the Potomac anti that led by Gen. Lee, must dechip, not merely the prow ess of our soldiers ami the skill of their com manders, but it will settle the destiny of the nation. It is useless to disguise the fact; that communities have nu\v contributed that am ount in men and money, which leave them on the verge where patience ceases to bo a virtue, and where great changes take place for better or for worse. JJcnce we must suc ceed with (he armies now in (he field, or the war will resolve itself into one of vast tumult compelling every man to intrench himself hi his own home, there to defend or perish with his family. AVe might as well he apprised of this fact no .v, as have it burst upon-us sud- denly in all its fearful reality. Indeed the truth has been kept too long' lrom the people —the nation has pursued its pleasure, the speculator has accumulated bis wealth, the politician has achieved his success—and all the while the people been making their sac rifices, wives giving up husbands, fathers devoting ‘sons, to swell the ranks of the ar mies, that libcrty might bo preserved and the nation rescued from danger. For three years this has lasted, and now (he end must come. — We cannot stand another year of expense, of waste by the loss of labor ami the riot of spec ulation, suen as have marked the three years of the war. The Army of (he Potomac must end the war —or its defeat, during the cam paign 7ioir Just hciu<j inaugurated , will open the dour wide for the inc ision af the North , and thus scat forever (he doom of the Pcpnb- Wo believe that Hie great crisis of the war is now upon us. All things seem to tend to this belief. And yet strange as it may ap pear, those most interested in the business of providing against the worst that may happen are doing the least. Indeed, if the ruin of the republic should come upon ns—if the cap itals of the States North and of the nation, should fall into the hands of the enemy.it will be while the representatives of the peo ple are engaged in vain struggles politically, or projects concerning themselves pecuniar! ly ; while Congress is frittering away its time in exhibitions of blackguardism, while one half of its members are pursuing their own interests to the neglect of the public bu siness—while the speculator io oppressing and almost starving-labor—and while liccn tiousness and riot fill the land. Homo to fid dling Nero did not present a more frightful picture, than do the States, that are loyal as well as the Ssatc? that arc rebellious, exhib it to the world. ■‘When all this will end, or how it will end, God only knows, and we can only say, God sure (he liepuhlic ! The Ahupes i.v tue Bank-noteHc-keat.— S. M. Clarke, the head of the Bank-Note Printing Bureau in the Treasury Department was this day day dismissed from his place and duties by the voluntary act of Secratary Chase, upon the close of an investigation in to the abuses charged against the administra tion of his bureau.— Tribune Washington Coi\ respondent. The Chase investigating committee would do well to inquire how it happened that this man Clarke, who had been discharged from one treasury bureau on a report of a Congres sional Committee, was appointed to another, and only discharged npofl the appointment of a second investigating committee. Six months ago the attention of Congress was called to the fact that Clarke, as chief on~ gineer of the treasury extension, was compro mised seriously iu relation to fraudulent con tracts. But Mr. Chase held on to Clarke until the dangers of popular indignation, and the appointment of a new committee, com pelled him to act. Does it signify nothing that Sir. Chase has constantly appointed and persistently retained in power men of tar nished reputations, dishonest men, venal men. Do honest men always choose rascals for sub ordinates in places of trust and responsibili ty ? OC7”Tho small pox poems to bo making its appearance all over tho country. It is sup posed to have boon spread somewhat in this manner: Tho “ Government” got it by shak ing hands with an “ intelligent contraband” who took it in exchange for confederate a Office seeker’s caught it by shaking bands with tho “ Government." Getting disappoin ted in receiving positions in which to ruin tho country, they went home, and have given the disease to the people, bv shaking hands with them, in the hopes of receiving a nom ination from them. Tho people are caution ed against shaking hands with any Abolition ist who has been to seethe “Government,” These men should bo put in pest houses im mediately upon their arrival at homo, and kept there until after the election. Another Celebration at Gettysburg.— A proposition bus already been made to cel ebrate tbo first anniversary of the battle and victory of Gettysburg on the Fourth oi July next, on which occasion it is also proposed to lay the corner stone of n grand monument to the memory of the gallant dead. The sub ject will bo finally scttlcA at an" early moot ing of the State'Commissioners having in charge tho construction of tbc National cem etery. MORALS OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. Tho morals of tho Treasury Department at Washington, may bo gathered from tho ex- tract belowl A writer to ono of tho Phila delphia papers accused tho Treasury Depart ment of employing women, of abandoned character as clerks iu that Department, and another correspondent writes to condemn the wholesale chai’ge. Ho says; “ To tho everlasting’ disgrace ot some of our high officials, a few females of doubtful character, have, through tho influence of said officials, ’obtained, employment in' that De partment.” Hero is another item which is a little “la ter” from tho Treasury Department; Alleged Evil Doings in the Treasury" Department. —-The Bepubltcan contains an announcement of tho death ot a female em ployee in tho Treasury Dopartnjent, which is said to have been produced by abortion.— She recently went to New York with a friend, who, it is said procured medicines for her.— Tho case is under investigation. Some other revelations wo might mention, but cannot do so in those columns. Suflicoit to say that the-Trcasury Departmontis a fos-’ tering sore—a mammoth concern, where thieves and female prostitutes are hired.— Beyond all question, tho most gigantic frauds have been practiced for tho last two years. — Tens of thousands of dollars have been put in circulation from Mr. Chase’s presses, of of which no account was kept, and thus tho country lias been flooded with counterfeit money, furnished by tlio U. S. Treasury I One firm in Now York received, in one day, three notes of tho samo denomination, same No. and same date, all issued by tho Treasury Department. Of pourse two of them were frauds. So wo go. A few days since a member‘of Congress,' in discussing the thieving and infamous practices recognized in the Treasury, re marked, “Clear the galleries of the ladies so that I can speak plainlyTand I will tell you the number of prostitutes who aro paid by the Treasury Department.ls it not true that God is lenient ? The corruptions of this Administration stink in the nostrils of the people and ascend to the skies, and yet wo actually find men who would, if they could, continue the same men in power four' years longer! This calamity, however, wo feel satisfied, will not bofal us, unless it bo true tiuit the people themselves have become dis honest and corrupt. The Central Fair in Aid ot Hie Sanitary Com- uiission.

Ou Wednesday night General Leo had changed his front and by Thursday morning ho was ready to give bat tle with h'ts whole army. General Hancock sustained tho brunt of the whole Rebel army on Thursday and hold his ground manfully, in many instances tho Rebels falling back, leaving their dead and wounded in piles in side of our linos.

Kaw York, Sunday, ll P. M.—The spe cial correspondent of the Tribune writes on Thursday night from Grant’s army:— I>'{n>l Indications of Battle—Mana-uvrin;/. At an early hour this morning the Second Corps resumed its inarch in the direction of Todd’s Tavern, reaching it before noon, and in lino of battle. At noon, General Wilson, with Kilpatrick’s former division, several miles south-wost of the tavern, in the vicinity of the Shady Grove Church, for three quar ters of an'hour was sharply engaged with a largo body of Rebel cavalry and a considera ble force of infantry, by whom ho was gradu ally forced back upon the Second Corps.— Had not the manoauvres of the enemy, pre vented, night would have found General Han cock’s command at Shady Grove Church, connecting with Warren on his right, whoso troops would have in turn joined Sedgwick on his right. By this manoeuvre wo would have occupied the pike running in a north westerly direction from Germania Ford, on the Ilapidan, Lea’s Designs. The movements of Leo soon revealed his real design. An attempt to cut our centre by a desperate attack. On discovering his in tention, General Warren was directed to at tack him at once, which ho . did at about 11 A. M. A determined musketry fight of an hour and a half ensued, in whioh Warren handsomely drove him from his position 'with the infliction of groat loss. Griffin’s Division of the Fifth Corps led the attack and suffered severely,its loss being nearly one thousand in killed, wounded and missing; his effort to break our conlrefur tile, the enemy next attempted to interpose, an overwhelming force between Warren and Hancock, the latter of whom, in accordance •with orders, was marching bis Corps rapidly to form a Junction with the former.. Fortunately his advance, consisting of Bir noy’s Division, came- -up not a moment too soon and just in time to circumvent the Re bel General, who, at 2£ F. M., commenced U terrific onslaught on the divisions of Birney, Gibbon and Dotty, the latter of, whom bad boon temporarily dotaobod to form the o tremo right of Hancock’s command Tu Bghl raged hotly until somp timo alter dark and resulted in tho complete ropnlso of th enptny at all points. Our loss in this enoW ment does not probably exceed ono thousand men. 4 Nature of the Halite Ground. Scarcely any artillery was brought into re quiaition, tho character of the ground roiulor ing it useless. Tho battlo-fiold is covered with n thick growth of underbrush and me dium sized qak trees, nnd'it is owing ( 0 t},;, fact that our losses are comparatively ijto,' Our captures in prisoners amount to about five hundred men. THE BATTLE OF FRIDAY. From tho Washington Republican, 7lb. Boforo stating what wo know of tho (irtj, ing yesterday wo take tho earliest opportune ty to say hero that tho statement publishod upon the outside that'tho battle opened on Wednesday was n mistake. It did not com. menoo until daylight on Thursday moraine" The offer was not ours, but was furnishej to us just as wP published it. With this 01- coption, tho result of Thursday’s battle » M ' as wo stated. On Friday nlorning Qcnctel Burnside’s Corps joined in tho conflict. Of the result of tho battle oh Friday wa aro able to state that tho Government has in formation through mossoUijers from Generals Grant and-Meado, who arrived this mombm at Rappahannock - Station, that Leo’s array was defeated dhd driven back three miles whon tho fight ended, tho number of killed and wounded being large, tho enemy’s shin being left upon'the field of battle. The messenger expressed tho opinion Hat the battle.was not decisive, but would be re-- suraod to-day. Ho gave no names of killed j stated that Gonorals Grant and Meade were quite sanguine of final success. This Bnln , feeling with regard to tiro result, we aro hap. py to say, is entertained by tho Government hero. No doubt ia entertained that there Ims beta desperate fighting to-day, although nodetniij have reached tho city up to the hour of going to nrcss. Wo have no later information of operations before Richmond by General Butler than tliak published in our Extra at noon. Washington, May 7, BP. M. lioutcant General Grant, on crossing the Ilapidan, tier cred his communications with this city. The stores and munitions remaining in llio depots at Culpepper and at Brandy Station, wore sent to Alexandria, with everything portable along tho lino of railroad, including (he bridges. Yesterday the cars only ran to Unhm Mills. Tho correspondents with the army, who had made propositions for sending informa lion in by special messengers, had ta rtiovo forward and we have not even their recital, flic accounts of the passage of tire Kapidau published, have been male up in this city from the recital.*? of returned omrtp followers. General Grant was evidently determine! not even to bo 'connected with Washington by a telegraph wire, ami this o.numaneam.'nt of the campaign is regarded as hopeful. . General Lee has doubtless fallen back to wards Richmond, concentrating all his forces and recalling detached parties who wore old towards the mountains. General Butler is known to have arrived at City Point ami helms made a diversion fit West PoihL General Burnside's veteran® are tiro rear guard of the advancing host.— Unlovss a battle is fought this Week wo shall have a siege of Richmond, winch cannot but he suceesfttl, for wo have men and guns, with eninecring and artillery talent to direct thoir movements. Meanwhile the Union forces in Oorgiahavo also advanced, in obedience to flic concerted plan, and victorious columns are doubtless' well advknccd ’ into Western Virginia, to oc cupy that fertile source of supplies. Anoth er week will more clearly define tho plansnt Gen. Grant, and will doubtless add to bis glory. ■ OFFI'CTAL DESPATCH FPvOM Tl|BsfICTUST.V HX 01- WAR. V /}y if* ttcurval John A-.
