FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
THE £ APIS AN AGAIN CBOSSED BY SOME OF
OUR TBOOPS,
[Correspondence oi the Mew York Herald, ]
CtJtrEPEB, Ya,, Feb. 7. —Yesterday commenced
another epoch in the history oi the war The
Army of the Potomac moved. Let the nation ro
joue.
The order came the nightbefore, although nearly
one thousand wivesxfthe. officers and men were
in* camp. Notwithstanding that, after two or
three weeks of remarkably pleasant weather tor
the season, the morning was ioggy and cloudy,
portending rain, never did troops make readr
lor a march with greater alacrity or trudge
off ibrough the muo in higher spirits than did the
officers and men the invincible Army the
Potomac. The whole movement was under the
command of that gallant and popular soldier,
Major General John Sedgwick. Whether the
movement was devised or planned or advised by
him, it is not in the power of your correspondent
to state. Y/hetber it was well or ill advised, at
the present time it is not within, his province to
state. Time will determine and history will
record the verdict on these points.
In thp merning the roads in the open country
were tolerably dry and good; but in the'woods they
were so wet that the artillery cutthemup intonind
& loot deep at least. Of course, iu moving so large
a force all the routes had to betaken advantage ui,
and consequently some portions of it had very
heavy marching. In addition'to this about,.noon
a drizvJin rain set in, which soon made the best, of
the roads anything but favorable to locomotion.
One liivisiou crossed the with'b'-t little
opposition Batteiies were planted on the heights
whivh opened furiously; to cover the crossing
This, however, elicited ho reply from the “John
nies” until near night As aar’koess and ram and
a heavy fog enveloped the scene a sharp artillery
and musketry lire commenced, and continued for
a d hour or more.
CcLi'jfpEE, Court House, Ya , Feb. 7—9 P.
M.—The Army of the Potomac is Again back at
winter quarters.
General Kilpatrick crossed at Culpeper Ford
and scoured the country from Jacob* s Ford to near
Fredericksburg, finding nothing hut cavalry
pi.kets of Hampton's divis*on<. nearly all ol whom
they captured. A detachment of the 2d New
York cavalry went up ,o Jacob’is Ford, where they
had learned'there was a sergeant and nine meu.
They captured three of them Kilpatrick’s com
mand, having accomplish! d the purpose tor which
it was sent, returned to camp to-day at noon.
Gen. "Warren crossed the 3d Division of the 2d
Corps at Morton’s Ford yesterday, with little or
no opposition. Last evening the-2d Division of the
same corps crossed, and attempted to join the 3d
in a piece of woods at the leit of tie ford. The
rebels then opened upon them with musketry
from the right of the ford, where they had been
concealed in another piece ol woods. The night
was dark, rainy and foggy, and . the firing of
each party was directed by the. flash of the guns
of their opponent. During the night, after firing
had ceaseo, our men were ordered to return across
the river, whi< h they did without molestation.
The loss m killed, wounded and missing is re
ported at between one and two hundred:'but this
is not official, and cai-not be Our
troops have lain just this side of the river all day.
Our pickets were on the bank thissideof the river,
end the rebels just on 'the other side of Morton’s
Ford.
General Humphreys went down this evening
and ordered all our treops tack into their quarters,
as the whole object of. the recounoissance had been
accomplished. Accordingly ail the lorces are back
in camp to-night, the 2d corpsl being the only one
which has met with any loss.
CULrxrER Count House, Ya., Feb. 7—Hi P.M.
—Merritt’s Ist Division of Cavalry, which went
to Burnett’s Ford, towards Madison Court House,
met some of Stuart’s caS*alry last evening and
skirmished wi’h them this morning, the whole di
vision excepting those left on picket being on
hand. Our forces advanced and found the rebel
cavalty backed by infantry. General Merritt
pitched in. and drove the whole force b-fore him
across Robertson’s river to Madison Court House.
The con mand held the ford all day, and m
obedience to orders, came back to headquarters,
having captured eight or ten prisoners.
Our treops were ready and eager for a fight with
the enemy. They would have followed their
leaders anywhere. Nothing but cheering could be
heard all the way, both in the advance* and the
return, and the commander of the array of the
Potomac must feel flattered by the conduct oi his
treops. The 3d Division of the 2d Corps waded
aeross Morten’s Ford, althuueh there was a corps
of engineers ready to lay a bridge. They waded,
up to their waists in water to cross. Who can whip
such men as those?
Wahiuxijtos, Feb. 7.—lt was reported at
Brandy Station this morning that General .Cald
well. with bis own division and another brigade
of ihe 2d corps, captured a rebel captain and
twentj -five privates of the picket force on cross
ing at Morton’s Ford, and that the prisoneis in
formed him there were only two-*brigades ot the
rebels within ten milps of that point. There
upon General Caldwell determined to storm the
rebel works, where ten or twelve pieces of artillery
were in position. He drew the tire of these bat
teries, discovered that the works were swarming
with the enemy, and deemed it .prudent to fall
back to the protection of his rillo pits, sphere he
remained ; bnt towards night the enemwopened
upon and endeavored tj force him to retire from
that position. #e held his ground, losing about
thirty-five men killed “and wounded, aud rested
his command in the rifle pits during the night.
The cros?ing ot the Rdfrtdai. was effected by
frrding ihe river,the men trading to their armpits;
but this did not dampen tbelr ardorf=Hs they pre
ferred this method of crossing rather than the de
lay of waiting for the pontoon trains to come up.
The troops moved in light marching order, without
knapsacks.
Captain Martin, of the 4th Pennsylvania cavalry
has retnrned to Manassas from, a reconnoissanee
to Occoqnan, where be charged through the town,
discovering no enemy, but. learning that a con
siderable force of rebel infantry was there the day
previous.
Lieutenant Paul captured four prisoners about
three miles/rom the town. That section of the
country is infested with guerilla parties, aud is
-evidently the grand highway for blockade runners
both from Alexandria and the Maryland shore.
A scouting party to Aldie and Middleburg re
turned to Fairfax last evening, and report all quiet
and no enemy to be seen.
They encountered eight guerillas while\absent,
with whom they had a brisk fight, capturing three
of their number and their leader, who proved to he
Wm. E. Ormsby, a deserter from the 2d Massa
chusetts cavalry. Two men of the 2d Massachu
setts and three of the rebels were wounded. Five
citizen?, whose loyalty is doubtful, were arrested.
On their return to camp, -Ormsby was tried by a
drum-head court-martial.

annual meeting of the stockholders of this Com
-1 any washeldHhism’orningattheiroffice, No. 230
Wamntstreet. Henry Duhring* Esq., presided,
ano Philip M. Price, acted as Secretary.
Cd. *V\xn. C. Moorhead, President of the Com-
X«Tjy* thf-n read the Annual Report oftlie Mana
gers. The report states that the Directors have
been disappointed in their anticipations of having
the road completed, owing to the great difficulty
in procuring laborers, ana in inducing them to re
n ain. At the eastern end of the road the track has
reached the town of bt. Mary’s, and at the west
ern end as far as Wilcox, leaving but .twenty-four
mijes oi track yet to be laid to connect these points,
which will complete the entire line of road, 283
miles in length. On these twenty, four miles there
roains to be clone of grading a portiou of live
different sections, in all less than lorry thousand
ei:hie ysTds and on change of grade and strength
*np banks about fifty thoustnd yards. The ma
sonry of the bridges on the tweniy-four miles of
rond yet to be finished is all ready lor the
sti) erstructure and these are nearly. all
lrnmed and can be raised at an early day in the
spring. , With the preseut force on the line,all the
gn-oing*can easily be prepared to receive the track
duiing the'next three r» onths from the present
time, ai d.ibe track finished and in readiness to be
run in the early part of the month, of .June next.
Fifteen hundred and sixty-three men- (chiefly
lrur New York) were sent on the line of the road
during the year, by the contractors, at a- cost of
ov< r SI3,W*O. This number ol laborers were quite
sufficient to have completed the road had they
remained on the work, but a large -portion left
alter woikiig a few days, and some actually
deserted before reaching their destination.
. The ex'raordinary yield oi the oil wells in
Northwestern Pennsylvania still continues and
arrangements are in progress for snch additional
connections with the oil region as will, it is

she soon became excited, and ran at a lady, but
without doing any harm. Immediately some two

hooting so completely enraged the animal that she
attacked any who Jell in her way or attempted to
check her passage through the street. She ran up

THE JOHJSf M. BOTTS LETTER:'
As there have been many misrepresentations in
regard to a letter written by John M.Botts to Hon.
GeorgeS. Smith, Treasuswof the Virginia State
Government, declining the position of U. S. Sena
tor from Virginia, Mr. Smith furnishes the
original letter for publication, in order thathfr.
Eotts may be set right before the country.. Itis as
follows:
Arncm.*, Culpepper county, Va , Jan. 7, 1865
Dear air: 1 have received tte letter o£‘Blr. S. in.
which he urges in vety earnesttermsjthatl’shonld
accept a seat in the Senate of the United States, at
the hands of the Legislature now in;session in
Alexandria; an election, which he seeing to think I
have no right to decline, as the friends ofthe Union
everywhere desire it.
Permit me to say, my good sir, that I duly
appreciate the honor designed,'which is far be
yond anything, that I bavereasop to expect, now
or hereafter, from any other source ; buthigh and
dignified as is the position of Tnited States Senator,
which inordinary times is one that might reason
ably satisfy the ambition of any moderate man,
yet in the present condition of the conntiy, and of the
Slateofwhich lam “nWtsetereandtothe-maTmir
bora,” I could not with propriety, and with my
convictions of duty, accept any appointment at the
hands of either of the numerous governments, now
exercising legislativepowers overany of the dis
membered fragments of what once constituted
the .proud and revered old commonwealth of
Virginia. 1
In taking the position I have done, in reference
to the rebellion, I have beenactuatedby .no sordid
considerations, and by no selfish desire to advance
my political or personal fortunes; but it has been
f reed upon me by the dear, unclouded-, conseien
iicuj a*id orenchelming convictions of my; best
judgment, free fiomall passion, prejudice or am
bition . . . - • •
From the present aspect of affairs, as they
appear from the stand-point I occupy, it looks as
it the day was not very far distant, when (if ever)
I may be of some service m healing those dissen
sions and distractions (growing out of the grossest
misrepresentations and frauds) that now divide
the nation, the State, and almost every locality,
to a greater or less extent; and which* though
smothered for the time, have never- vet been
extinguished: hut this can ontybe done, V/of cW,
by adhering firmly and consistently to theopinions
ana principles of a long life, which have‘“grown
with my growth and strengthened with my
strength,” until they have become a-partof my
second nature: in other words, I must permit no
shadow of suspicion from any quarter,.to attach to
my unselfish patriotism, or the disinterested
integrity of *my purpose, which the acceptance of
office might subject me to.
The extent of my aspirations for tha present, is
to return “good for evil, ” to this once-venerable
and venerated, but now poor, down-trodden,
shattered, heartlessly sacrificed, and dilapidated
old “Mother of States,” that has been reduced to
herpresentmiserable condition, by herleadiagand
trusted statesmen, who, v.-ith miscalculation upon
misclaculation and blunder upon blunder,-wi f h
every prophecy and promise unfulfilled,have been
groping their way in Siberian darkness, and with
the most inexcusable ignorance, after a phantom,
engendered by a corroded and. diseased imagina
tion, which was excited by a heardess selfishness,
and insane ambition to perpetuate their own
power, that has been without a parallel in the his
tory of the world. -
I ein aware that my councils for the last, three
years have been spurned and derided, and my
person even threatened with violence, by- many
who once looked with a more charitable and
friendly eye upon my suggestions and advice.
I have reason to think, this hallucination is
passirg off, and is being rapidly dissipated by
tbe terrible ordeal to which the fortunes of the
South have been subjected, and it may be, at
least I am not without nope, that at a future day,
I may in some way stand as a lak between tbo
North and the South, by which the chain that
once bound them together, may • again con
nect them, andtb this complexion it must come at
last; for neither passion, nor prejudice, nor suf
fering, nor want, nor hunger, nor pride, nor
strife can endure forever, and the time must come
when men will look at things as they are,.and no
longer close their eyes at bright mid-day,- and
swear the sun does not shine, because they desire
to shut out the light.
For these and many other reasons not necessary
to enumerate here, I must beg to be excused' for
respectfully declining the high position tO'Which it
is proposed to elevate me.
Very respectfully, your ob v t serv’t,
