THE AI AR.Wa'e A Ulcnnflo !-ioratlT Moto ntrnt. ADVANCE OF THE ARMY OF TnE POTOMAC. Washington, May 5. Tha Armv of the Potomac began its for ward march on Monday. Tho crossing of the Rupjdnn was effected without opposition, on Tuesday and Wednesday, at Culpepper, Jacobs, Geraiania and Ely's Ford. No reb els were seen, except a few pickets, who re tired ns wo advanced. If Leo intends to make a stand this side of Richmond, it is possible he may be met r.car the old bnttle uround of Chancellorsvillc, but it is tho gen eral impression tinu nc una luueu uuen. mini his position on the Rapidan to Richmond, in ori'.cr to protect that city trom tne lornn dable torco now marching upon it lrom tlic rear, and which is as likely to strike on one side of the James River as the other. Culpepper is being strongly foiljGed, and will be used as a depot for stores. It is reported here to-clay that a strong column of troops under Gen. Couch and Sigel tiro marching from Winchester up the Shenandoah Valley as a co-operating column, destined eventually to cut the Virginia and Tennessee Railroads, while Butler's force, or part of it, strikes the other railroad nt or near Petersburg, thus severing all railroad communications between Richmond mid tho South. Gen. Butler took the field in person nt the head of the army on tho Peninsula yes terday, and his host is marshalled by such leaders as W. F. Smith, Gilmoie, Terry and Godfrey Wcit.el. Tho movement assumes an expeditionary character. An immense licet ot transports, and a strong squadron of monitors and gun boats will convey it up one of those broad rivers to the gates or to tho back door of Richmond, ami perhaps the iron-ciaiis may once more try the strength of the rebel bat teries that liue the James, the ruuiuuKcy and the Rappahannock. The leeling prevails that mere is despe rate work before this army. But there is nerve nnd strengh for it. Tho iron clads lie in tho still waters off Newport News, and the fleet cftgunbonts are in communica tion with them. All tho auguries arc fa vorable. IS?" General Grant is cither the ablest and most successful General of tho age, or else the most extraordinarily lucky man that ever lived. Candid and intelligent men, can no longer withhold from him tho meed of praise duo to his unrivalled abilities as a great military leader. lie is purely a sol dier, and In this great contest, knows no party but his country, and no duty but that which truly pertains to his office ns the leader of the Union armies. We have no desire to disparage Gen. McClellan, in whose character there arc many good points, but in all that constitutes true military heroism, and unselfish patriotism, Grant overtops, head and shoulders, MeCleilan nnd all the Gcncrala on the military calendar. Neither tho blandishments of office, nor tho pomp of power, nor tho caresses and npplnuse of thc great, could swerve him nil inch from the liue of his duty. Ho is now, as he was when ho first entered the army, tho same unostentatious, hard working, bard think ing, and hard fightinrr General. Gen. STEEj.t'st Expedition. The latest accounts from Arkansas represent the return of our forces under Gen. Steele to Little Rock as an exciting race with Gen. Marrua duUc fir tho possesion of the city.

Shortly afterward, fair's Cavalry came up and these joining tho troops at the post, compelled Marmaduko to relinquish lis tmdertakim;. Ho made littlo resistance, us tho mam body of Slcclu's army was rap idly arriving.

Butler's army was in motion, aided byv monitors r.nd gunboats. The cblumn under Couch and Sigel were reported to be advancing from Winchester. Sherman's army was also moving South iu three columns. A telegram from Gen. Grant, dated Wednesday, says that forty eight hours would determine whether he was to have a bnttlo ou tho line of the Rapi dan or under tho works of Richmond.

It was not General Grant's intention to draw on a general engagement until he had learned the exact position of tho enemy and had massed his forces. On Wednesday night General Lke chanued his Iront and by 1 hurs day morning he wus ready to give battle with his whole army. General IIanukk sustained the brunt of the whole Rebel nrmy on Thursday, nnd held his ground manfully, in many "instances the Rebel fall ing back, leaving their dead and wounded in piles inside of our lines. Gcnernl Ai.exanuku Havs was severely pressed nnd sent to Hancock for help. He was ordered to hold his ground twenty minutes, but ere the time was up he was carried off on a stretcher dead. We held our line on Thursday with but half our for ces. Brought up Bi nNsiDK, made n forced march, and reached a place in the line on our right by Friday morning. His troops marched up in solid phalanx, and the negro troops were loudly cheered as they arrived. Our loss was estimated nt five thousand up to Friday lnorning, while that of the Kebels was nt least ten thousand, uencrai Barti.ett, Colonel Gcknky nnd Colonel Havs, severely wounded, ore nil the names that have reached us so far. The battle has been fought in tho Wilder ness, where it is almost impossible lor us to use artillery, and the ammunition was carried into the rear on stretchers that brought out the wounded. The battle of Friday afternoon has result cd in our success at all points. We had gradually driven them back for from two to three miles, nnd repelled every assault, ami lost but two batteries. Our whole loss it is mpos6iblo to estimate. The battle til) to tho Inst accounts still raged. The tclcirraph line was put in operation to-day down to Rappahannock Station, but the War Department do not allow any news of any kind to go over the wires from here orth. LATER FROM THE FROXT. 0 P.

The President says, "it is all right." Grant hns carried all his points so tar in his plans, and is succeeding beyond his expecta tions. The latest official intelligence yet received is down to Saturday noon, when it was be lieved that Lee was retreating toward Orange Court House, though not in a de moralized condition. It is rumored among tho Rebel wounded that General Lek is badly wounded. Eight thousand wounded are en route that supplies aro being sent for three thousand more. BEAUREGARD IX A TIGHT PLACE. Washington, May 8. Despatches have been received announcing the occupation of the Half-way House on the railroad by General Bcti.eh. General Braduegaiu) was at Petersburg with a largo force. This cuts off Petersburg from Richmond and places Fort Darling at our mercy. THE BATTLE OF THURSDAY. New York, Sunday, 11 P. M. The special correspondent of the Tribune write ou Thursday night from Grant's army : At any early hour this morning the Second Corps resumed its march in the direction of Todd's Tavern, reaching it before noon, and in line of battle. At noon General Wilson, with Kh.I'atuick's former division, several miles southwest of the tavern, in the vicinity of Shady Grove Church, for three quarters of an hour w as shnrply engaged with a large body of Rebel cavalry and a considerable force of infantry, by whom he was gradually forced back upou the Second Corps. Had not the nianeeuvres of the enemy prevented, night would have found General Hancock's command at Shady Grove Church, connecting witli Warren on his right. By this niaiueuvrc we would have occupied the pike running in a north westerly direction from Gcrmania Ford, on the Rapidan. The movements of Lee soon revealed his real design. An attempt to cut our centre by a desperate attack. On discovering his intention, General Warhes was directed to attack him at once which ho did at about 11 A. M. A deter mined musketry fight of an hour and a half ensued, in which Warren handsomely drove him from his position with the inflic tion of great loss. Griffin's Division of tho Fifth Corps led the attack nnd suffered severely, its loss being neatly one thousand in killed, wounded and missing. . Finding his effort to break our centre futile, tho enemy next attempted to inter pose an overwhelming force between War ren aud Hancock, the latter of whom, in accordance w ith orders, was marching his corps wipidly to form a junction with the former. Fortunately lis advance, consisting of Birney's Division, came up not a moment too soon and just in time to circumvent the Rebel General, who, at 2J P. M., commenced a terrific onslaught on the divisum of But nky, GiuiioN nnd Gktty, the hitter of whom had been temporarily detached to form the extreme right of Hancock'! command. The fight raged hotly until some time after dark and resulted in tho completo repulse of the enemy at all points. Our loss in this engagement does not probably exceed one thousand men. Scarcely any artillery was brought into requisition, the character of thu ground rendering it ufli'. The battle-field is covered with a thick growth of underbriuh and medium ni.cd oak trees, nnd it is owing to this fact that our oe are comparative ly light. Our capture in prisoner amount to about five hundred men. I omitted to allude to tho rapture of a number of the Kighteeiilh lYunylaniu cavalry on thu retiring of IIam ik k' Corp townrd Parker's Storu.

Tho termina tion of yesterday's engagement brought but little change in tho position of affairs. We have lost some ground on our right, mil the enemy gain no advantage in position by their advance. Iu the centre there was out little fighting, and there, as well ns on our left we hold our ground. Early yesterday morning, General Han cock's Corps, with Wadsworth's and Robin son's Divisions of Warren's, and three bri gades of Getty's Division of the Sixth Corps, advanced simultaneously nlong the entire length of their line, nnd after several lours' continuous and stubborn lighting, during which they pushed the enemy steadily back ward, succeeded in driving them from their front line of breastworks, and occupied them for n time. Tho troops encountered on this advance were those of Hill's Corps, out nbout noon Longstrect came up, and the enemy at once commenced a vigorous onslaught. Our men were driven back over all the ground they had gained, nnd at one point on the Brock road, left of the Plank road, the enemy actually succeeded in planting their colors ou our line of breastworks. General Hancock's lino wns thus broken. aud if the mischief had not been speedly repaired it is difficult to say what serious consequences might have ensued. But the panic among our men was oniy partial, nnd was quickly allayed. Colonel , Carroll's Brigade lay in the woods, in the ; rear of the intrenchments. near the plank' road, and on our line breaking ho instantly brought up his men to the rescue, nnd his j command charging, with loud cheers, drove i back the foe, nnd restored our broken line. In the meantime General J. Hobart Ward . promptly rallied the troops of his own bri gade, and mounting on the top of a caisson, having no horse at land road down the plank road and brought bank several regi- ments of fugitives who were hurrying off to 1 the rear. These were taken back to their : placo at the front, and the enemy were soon repulsed. I The One-hundrcd-nnd-torty-tirst l'ennsyi- , vanin and Twentieth Indiana regiments, of Ward's brigade captured during the morn- j ing three stands of colors, including those , of the Thirteenth North Carolina und the ; Seventy-firth Virginia regnilents. j General Hancock complimented Colonel Carroll in the highest terms for his prompt- . ness nnd gallantry, nnd it is said that in his ; despatch to General Meade, announcing the ' occurrence, stated that Carroll's Brigade had been instrumental in saving his line j from serious disaster. This is but one of j many important and gallant services render- j I ed by Colonel Carroll, aud to those ncquair.t- ed with his record it is n matter ot wonder ; that he has so long nnd so well served ns a j Brigade commander without being pro- ! noted to the rank corresponding to his posi-1 tion. j General Wadsworth, of the Fourth Divi- sion. Fifth Corps, was yesterday reported 1 killed and left in the enemy's hands, but it is now reported that he is still alive. j General Getty was wounded in the should- 1 cr, nnd tieneral V lienton took command ol his Division.

It is believed that Gen. Bragg, with such reserves, local forces, invalid lorees, &e., as can In; mustered, has been entrusted with tho defence of Rich mond, and that Lee hesitates to plant him self within the fortifications, in dread that Grant may fasten his Yicksbtirg grip upon him, he (Lee) believing that were he once cooped up in Richmond, a half million of men could be raised withiu a week at tile North to go down for a thirty, sixty, or ninety days' siege of tho place. There seems to be no doubt tllut the suddenness nnd silence with which Grant's movements were made, disconcerted the rebel plan of Hinging Longstrect upon Grunt's right flank and rear the moment that advance should be Washington, May 11 10 r. m. The latest dispatches received from Gen. Grant nt Headquarters represent everything encouraging. A dispatch was received hero to-day by Gen.

We nre entirely up setting ul! of Lee's well concocted plans, and arc steadily driving him before us. Our losses have been heavy, but the rebel loss outnumbers ours. Another general attack will take place nt five o'clock this afternoon. The world has never heard of war before, and the battle fields of the past few days defy description. A dispatch has just gone through which reports that Grant has llanked Lee both on right nnd left. Durinir the terrible battlo renewed yester day, Lee was driven across the North Anna J river, with Orant in close pursuit. I cannot send yon anything more to-night.

The Second Corps had closed the fight lottt night. General Birrey held the right and Gibbon tho centre, nnd Barton the left. The rebels were driven from their position and ground gained, which will enable Gen. Graut to tnitke a favorable disposition of his forces. Everything is favorable.

Democrat of this morning publishes I the following: 1 The expedition of Gen. Steele toward ShreveHirt La ended with hia returu, under rat her exciting circumstances, to Little llock. A gentlemen conversant with the facts has arrived here,, and communicates a state ment to the following purport: Gen. Steele left Little Hock with some 12,000 infantry and d,000 cavulry, the latter under Gen. Curr. Arkadelphia was occupied w ithout diffi culty, and a force moved forward to Camden. Between Arkatiulphia and Camden a sub sistence train of 180 wagons wus cut off and captured by the enemy, together with the escort of 480 men, w ho suddenly found themselves iu the hands of a superior force, and made little resistiee. At Camden, Steel soon found the Ilebels, about 8,000 strong, cavalry, in his rear, and 240 wagons, dispatched from Camden to ward Pine Bluff for stores, with an escort of 1,000 men, were captured by the enemy. The steamer Alenio, with twenty tuns of ammunition !br Steele and his army, was sunk forty miles below Littlo ltock, by com ing in collision with another steamer. The pilot who had charge of the boat was put under urrest on suspiciun of treachery, but subsequently wus released. Steele could find no stores to subsist his troops on, nnd had to reduce their allowance to quarter rations. As the movement or Uen. Steele was to be co-operative w ith the main one of Gen. Banks, which had failed, there remained no course but to returu to Little Uock. Gen. Price undertook to retain Gen. Steele at Camden, while Gen. Marmaduku set oil' for Little Hock, Steele to act for the safety of the capital of Arkansas, with its I'nion population and millions of dollars' worth of I'nion stores, and for the rescue of his army, broke through the lines of Gen. Price, and set out to get to Little Hock in time to save it from Marmaduke, who was also making every exertion to reach aud bag (he proposed game, At Saline Ft fk, it became" necessary to give Price battle, which wus liMid-omcly done. The Kebels wero well mounted, and in tine condition. The tight was protracted and bloody, lasting for tlirvo or lour hours, resulting iu the complete repulse of the ene my, ami leaving Sicele.to resume his t xci ting race with Marmaduke. , Mariuaduko approached Little Bock, throwing shells into tho city ou the after noon of the 1st iustaut. Shortly al'lerwurd, Carr's cavalry tame up, and these joining the troops at the post, compelled Marinudue to relinquish hut undertaking. He inud.i littlo resistance a the main body of Steele's army wu rapidly urriving. The Alkansas la-gialutiire was in stksioii, and probably not one of it members, if caught, would hae been epurcd by the ex asperated foe. Dining the entire mureh from Camden our troop were tniistaiilly kirmiahing with llio enemy, who hung uM.n their reur and flanks, sliitiuoiuly endeavoring o impede their progress.
