REBEL RIGHT.
From the correspondence of the Philadel
phia Euquircr of April Ist, we make the fol
lowing extracts, which furnish an interesting
account of the recent movement of the Army
of the Potomac.:
On Saturday morning (2.lth ult.) Lee at
tempted to take the initiative_ before Peters
burg. Beaten back with tumble loss, noth
ing could more clearly show that he had be
come perfectly powerless in our hands, than
the fact that to-day Gen. Grant Jjegan
A GRAND MOVEMENT.
At four o’clock an advance was ordered.
Cheerfully leaving tiieir works behind them
the troops pushed forward and again were
disappointed. No enemy was found. Their
strong line at Dabney Mills was entire]/ de
serted, and but recently too, for the fires
still burning in the deserted camps showed
that the bird had not long flown. The new
line was assumed, and again the troops made
themselves breast works, and there they lay
to-night. Thus the day passed with the
second corps.
General Sheridan at four o’clock had his
headquarters at Dinvviddie Court House,
but there was nothing to indicate that he in
tended remaining there to-night. He may
be in Petersburgh or Richmond before day
light, for all we know to the contrary.
Generally speaking the operation's of the
day have been preparatory. No battle has
been fought only because apparently none
was intended, unless forced by Lee
It, is proper to remark that our connection
with our old lino is unbroken. To-night
there is an unbroken chain of Yankees from
the Charles City Court House road, north of
the James River, to the Dinwiddio Court
House, a distance so immense that the state
ment appeal's incredible, but that it is true
Lee will find to his cost should he molest
any part us that oxteuded line.
Toe movement ot to-day has not coma upon
the army or the country “unexpectedly. The
rapid approach of Sherman, the ne ir consum
mation of Grant s splendid combinations, the
country knew would soon necessitate acti
vity on the part of the army, and in the army
we have looked for it for days past, in con
sequence of the orders issued, and yesterday
afternoon we were certain of it, for the
marching order itself came. In the Second
Corps the hour designated for starting was
six o’clock tuis morning, and in the Filth
Corps three o’clock, Sheridan leaving his
camp near Hancock Station about five
o’clock.”
Alter the lines had got
in rosiuoN,
Nothing came of it. Not a shot had been
fired in assuming it. Not a picket, not a
scout, not a vestige of animated grey was en
countered. The ground so fiercely contested
with the Fifth Corps a mouth ago was
found without defenders. The troops seem
ed astonished. Riding through the columns,
such remarks could be beard as, “Where are
the Johnnies?” “Is the rebellion played out ?”
and others of like nature, showing that our
boys have been somewhat disappointed in
not getting up a fight on the threehold of
t heir march. At niuc o’clock,
A scorr CAPTURED,
By Gen. Smith, explained the anomaly.
During the night the Rebels had withdrawn
their pickets, and at that moment he said
the infantry of the Rebel army were up
the road and coming into position facing us.
The hours pass without change upon the
line. Still not a shot, and upon Hayes’ front
particularly not a sign of the enemy. At ten
a. m. Gen. Meade arrived and established his
headquarters at the Perkins House, near
Gravelly Run.
Meantime the Fifth Corps was moving
down the Halifax Road, and came into con
nection with Miles’ left about noon. Sheri
dan, sweeping the country still further to the
left, was not in direct communication with
the rest ot the army. At noon.
GENERAL GRANT ARRIVED
with his staff. It was the first time the Lieu
tenant General had been personally with the
armyfsince October 27, and his presence bod
ed important events at hand, and he came
with all of the little baggage that suffices him
in the field. A halt dozen wagons carry the
houseß and rations of himsLdf and staff. The
nation will he well pleased to know that
Grant is looking extremely well, and takes to
the field again as naturally as ho did last
spring. He has apparently grown no older
during the last two years he has had such
weighty responsibilities upon him. His man
ner Is the same, retiring, taciturn ,• his face
no different.
To-night he Iras established the headquar
ters of the Armies of the United States on
the south hank of Row'anty Creek, about a
mile from General Meade, and from that re
mote and uufrequented spot of Virginia can
talk to-night with Stanton in Washington, as
the telegraph is established, putting him in
communication with all parts of the North.
TAB DAY GREW TIRESOME
On the Second Corps' front. One, two,
three o’clock came and still no signs of an
enemy. Reconnoitering parties were sent
out in front of each d.vis'.on. hut. failed to
discover any traces of the foe. The troops
grew listless. Some sat on the slight breast
works they had thrown up, playing cards,
some pitching quoits; some re id,all wished for
something to do. General officers too were
in the same sta'e of inactivity, laboring under
that excessive inconvenieuce of not knowing
exactly wliat to do with themselves
THAT NIGHT,
a r ter the day’s lull aud portentous stillness,
tue Storm broke forth with all La fury. The
! rebels made another desperate attempt to
storm Fort Steadman. Massing heavy col
umns early in the eveuing in front of Fort
Steadman, about ten at night with one of
tluir peculiar yells they bolaly advanced to
the a>sault, seeking to break the lines of the
Ninth corps. The battle which lasted all
night was terrific, bloody and severe. The
rebels were caught in a trap, and but for the
darkness of the night would have been
slaughtered unmercifully. As it was, they
were repulsed, discomfited and disheartened,
and retired with heavy loss, while our loss,
owing to the peculiar disposition of our
forces and previous knowledge that an at
tack would be made, amounted to only four
killed and twenty-four wounded. Thus was
inaugurated the last grand movement of the
Army of the Potomac.
The enemy appear to be prepared to de
fend the Boydtown Plauk Road, in front of
which they have a line of works erected.
But however well prepared they may be in
our present front, the probability is that they
will be flanked. Sheridan is on our extreme
left at Dinwiddio Court House and beyoud,
and the bold raider i* not there for nothing.
There can be little doubt that be will at
tempt to cut the lino of communication be
tween Lee aud Johnston, viz ; the Dauville
Railroad, and there is also little doubt that if
he does attempt it he will do it.
FORTRESS MONROE.
Special Correspondence of the Philadelphia Enquirer.
Fortress Monroe, Ya., March 30.
GEN. SHERMAN’S VISIT TO FORTREB9 MONROE.
Last Monday morning at the hour of eleven
o'clock, the despatch steamer Russia arrived
hero from Morehead City, N. C., with Major
General William Tecumseh Sherman on
board, accompanied by several members ot
liis staff, Brevet Brigadier General Dodge,
Chief Quartermaster of the Department of
North Carolina, aud a few other ftfleers at
tached to his army, en route North, for the
purpose of enjoying a short furlough. As
the Russia with her distinguished passengers
reached the shore, an immense crowd of
civilians and officers immediately assembled
on the Baltimore wharf, to catch a glimpse of
the able commander and great “flanker’’ of
the West. Owing to the strong tide, which
was rendered by the prevailing Westerly
winds unusually swift, the steamer was a
considerable time in making a landing at the
wharf.
During this incidental delay the General
was walking up aud down the hurricane
deck of the steamer, restlessly and impa
tiently, apparently anxious for the moment
when he would bo released from the inquisi
tive glances of the numerous bystanders.
At last, with th« assistance of several tugs,
the steamer was secured to the wharf, and
after spouding a few moments in conversa
tion with newly made acquaintances, aud
bidding farewell to those of his officers
bound north, the General embarked on the
steamer Blackbird, and in a few moments
was far out of sight, steaming rapidly up the
James river, on his way to Lieutenant-Gen.
Grant’s headquarters. Genoral Sherman ap
peared to bo in the best of health and spirits,
aud seemingly has suffered but little from
the fatiguing march of his forces through
Georgia and the Carolinas.
In anticipation of the General’s return
from City Point, a number of the officers at
tached to the Third Pennsylvania Artillery,
with the post band, assembled in the com
modious oflioe df the Quartermaster's De
partment, to extend to him a serenade and
the hospitalities of Old Point.
About ten o'clock on the evening of Tues
day, the United States gun boat Bat, arrived
from City Point and anchored in the stream,
and General Sherman, a few moments after
wards, quietly landed on the beach fiom a
small boat, and proceeded Into the fort,
where he was met by his brother, Senator
John Sherman, of Ohio, and a few friends.
At midnight he re-embarked on board the
Bat, which immediately got under way and
steamed southward.
The object of this unexpected visit by
Geu. Sherman was of course involved in deep
mystery, especially at a time when his army
was supposed to have been battling with
Johnson's army in the vicinity of Goldsboro’,
and his whole attention occupied in directing
its movements. His interview at the front
with Lieutenant General Grant will doubt
less be productive of the moat important
results, and combinatory movements of the
two graud armies, it is presumed, will at
once take place, with the view of the total
defeat of the last remaining army of the Re
bellion and tho disemberment ot’ the Con
federacy.
Already Grant's army is In motion, and the
army of Gen. Sherman in North Carolina,
will quickly follow, once more on ihe war
path to victory, as soon as its gallant com
mander readies it
JOHNSTON’S LOSSES
In the battles of the 19th and 20th, near j
Bantonsville, will undoubtedly reach an ag
gregate of five thousaud. The Fifteenth and
Twentieth Corps buried of rebel dead, aud
collected wounded, a total reaching two
thousand five hundred. The small squads
of prisoners taken by tho Seventeenth and
Fourteenth Corps, when put together, foot
up a total of thirteen hundred. Tho entire
number has been seut to Newbern; so there
can he no doubt as to the accuracy of the
estimate. Among these prisoners Is a scion
of the house of Rhott. He was captured at
Taylor’s Hole Creek, inside Kilpatrick's
skirmish line. Ho drew his revolver on his
captor when first summoned to surrender;
the member of the house of Kilpatrick took
cool aim with bin‘Spencer,’ aud the represen
tative of the blood and chivalry of South Car
olina dropped his revolver and gave himself
up, to save his bacon, very like a common
mortal. A Huger, too, is among the motly
sroup5 roup of prisoners, late a lieutenant in Joe
ohuston’s army.
Miouler at Pcrkstdrg, S. C.—CapL Da
vis, of the tug 0. T. Shepard, reports that
on his last trip np tho river he fell in with
two negro boys in a canoe at Williamson’s
Landing about three and a half miles above
the city. The negroes said that they had
just left Purisburg, being driven out by the
murderous band of the cut-throat Michler,
who is in that vicinity raiding about, plun
dering and shooting the negro inhabitants.
Some colored men recently killed two of
Michler’s men, and put a bullet through the
hat of Michler himself. He has about twen
ty men with hhp, and according to accounts
keeps the neighborhood in a State of
and disturbauee.
Important Circctab of the Provost
Marshall —We call the attention of evil
doers to the important circular of Col. Robert
P- York, Provost Marshall of the District of
Savannah. The walla of public and private
buildings have been defaced by placards pot
ters, etc.; this nuisance must cease, and the
walls that have suffered now speak forth
“post no bills.’’ Another heinous crime has
been the defacing of tombs, destruction of
fences, plucking of shrubbery etc., at the
Cemeteries. Sacred spots where rose trees
had been planted and nursed with tender
care to deck t 'as graves of loved ones, have
been robbed of the flowers on them. We
hope never hear of a transaction of
this kind. Any offender detected, need not
expect meicy at the hands of the Provost
Judges; they may excuse ignorance, but a
malicious intent will not screen the offender.
Nhw Police Badge —The badge formerly
used by the Police having been counterfeited
and ignorant persons having been imposed
upon, Col. York, the Provost Marshal, who
is very attentive to tho wants of the Police,
who are men of character and responsibility,
has adopted anew badge that will be
worn Id the future by all members of the
Police force. The badge is a strip of pink
ribbon, on which is printed in clear type, the
letters U. 8., over an American Flag and
under the Flag the word “Police;” immedi
ately under the latter the original written
signature of Robt. P. York, Provost Mar
shall. The persou who may in the future
attempt to act the bogus policeman, will
suffer tho extreme penalty of the law, aud
our citizens cannot but feel grateful to Col.
York for his untiring exertions for good or
der.
