Fat ere sting Details troiri Papers of April Ist* GEft’. CRJLYFS ARRIVAL OX THE HELD. Til© First Day and Ps'lgHt. Sharp Fight at Fort Steadman and Repulse of the Rebels. SIIERBDA.Y FIAKKIISG THE 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. CHURCH DIRECTORY. [ Compiled expreeely for tho Savannah Daily Herald.] CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
