HEAD QUARTEns ARMY POTOMAC, 3'
~ Oct. 15th, 1863.
DEAR GazETTE—That great and mysteri-
ous power known as “the Army of the Poto-
mac” has again med—“changed its base”
and to a good purpose. There was no oc-
casion for anxiety or alarm in this fact, fer
the order was issued before I left it two
weeks since, and whatever may have been
the popular fear or suspicion Gen. Meade has
not been ' driven an inch! Indeed, he
has evidently taken special pains to
other scaly things paid dearly for it.
In any other war than this gigantic
rebellion, the fight of the 2d Corps and
Gregg’s Cavalry on Wednesday, would have
claimed the brightest periods of the histo~
rian's pen. For obstinucy and dash, I do
- not believe it has been surpassed in any eu-
gagement-of the war, and for a full account-
of ,whiChI refer you to my account just tele-
graphed the Tribune as follows :-
“ About daybreak on‘Weduesday morning
the corps of A; P. Hill made a desperate us-
rdcr guard'of the 2d Corps and Gregg’s divis-
ion of cavalry, consisting Of the. 6th Ohio,
- 1st Rhoda-Island, 10th New ~York,'1st Massa- ;
chusetts and 1st Pennsylvania,» the 10th
New York acting as rearwpicket. Our :for-
ces'were- 'on the country read leading into
'Centreville, a little to the : northeast of Cat--
tlet’e Station. From the manner or Hill’s
assault, it is evident he deemed our retreat
from Sulphur Springs 21 panic-stricken rout.
made tej ' induce this belief. . The enemy,
opened upon us with shell, followed up by a‘
Spirited dash of his cavalry. ' But Our boys
were prepared. Getting the teamsto the
. rear, Gen. Greggchargcd his meniupon the.
rebel battery, capturing five guns,two. colors,
and about'50'0 prisoners—all North Caroli-
niuns. , ‘ ' ' '
This unexpected assault had the effect to
keep our: assaultants at bay for a season, but
it was apparent that they .were bent upon
some, flank movement. Our. forces continued
to fallback in good; order, exchanging com-
pliments, with their pursuers, until reaching
Breutsville, at about 3 o’clock, where the
rear of our trains had halted; The enemy’s
infantry was2 discovered in heavy force
emerging fromaline of woods skirting the
north bank of the railroad. Here it was
that, the 2d, Corps under Gen. Warren,
dashed in and displayed thermost Commend-
able'heroism. ' ' The discovery of either three
at this juncture wasfa- mutual 'surprise,"and
a rush was made by both parties for the cut
of the railroad, our boys getting in first and
receiving a terrific volley ‘Off musketry over
their heads. Spriuging to the crest , of the
bank, we returned a most deadly fire, which
mowed down their ranks like grass, and left
. their dead and wounded lying zi‘n heaps in
our front. = ‘ .
A portion of Hill’s Corps was still press-
ing our , rear: but so admirably were our
troops handled by Gregg and Warren, that
they were kept at bay, while weadminister-
' ed the most terrible punishment for his au-
dacious attack on our flank. We also cap-.
tured six pieces of artillery, and a large
number of prisoners, estimated in the aggre-
gate at 700 to 800, the most of which were
sent to Washington this afternoon.
Just at dusk, Gen. Sykes came to General
Warren’s‘support with his 5th‘Corps, but the
enemy had retreated in confusion to their
covering cf woods, and took good care not
to exhibit themselves again. '
While this desperate encounter was going
on, our cavalry scouts discovered that , Ew-
ell’s forces were attempting afiank move-
ment to the west of Fairfax, but the timely
discovery has thus far prevented any dem-
onstration from that quarter, and all has
remained quiet tip to Ill-o’clock tonight with
the exceptionof unimportant picket-skir
mishing. In the extreme front of our lines,
beyond Centreville, the 6th New York, the
1st Pennsylvania, 1st Rhode Island and 1st
Regular batieries were also engaged, and
to the skillful management of their pieces
are we indebted for the = remarkably few
casualties on our side considering. the des-
peratecharscter of thecontest. ,
Our" Surgeons in charge, and other officers
say our entire'loss in killed, wounded, and
missing, will not reach 400. In their skedad-
dle back to the woods, the Rebels left large
numbers of their dead and wounded behind.
Three trains left Fairfax for Alexandria
about 9 o’clock, conveying 94 of Buford’s
and Kilpatrick’s men, mostly wounded in
the Sulphur Spring fight, and 40 of Gregg’s
men,-wounded yesterday, together ’with the
remainder of the infantry wounded of the
2d corps. g ; . , , - 4
Our presentlines are well chosen, and no
doubt exists .of our ability to maintain them.
In short, Gen. Meade is ready and anx-
ious for a fightin his present position. ‘ '
iGen. Sickles and staff arrived at Gen Bird
ney’s head-quarters about 4 o’clock and was
most enthusiastically received.” -, 3 3 ,
Every one who has aright to speak for our
own army, does so, in undoubted confidence
of its ability not only to take. Care of it-
self, but strike ‘ astunning ‘blow, should it
assume the ofi‘ersive, and no more able
strategy has been developed in its manage-
ment than in the recent movements-of Gen.
Meade. ~ .
The soldiers are wonderfully exhilarated
over the results of the Ohio "and Pennsyl-
vania elections as well as the victory of our
arms on Wednesday. his wonderful what
a disgust the Pennsylvania ‘electioneering
. letter of McClellan has created among-those
in the army who still clung to him with a re.
markable affection and , admiration. By
many it is believed to be a forgery gotten up
at the'last hour by his political friends to
help a sinking cause. If it' proves to have
been genuine, fim‘s George B. McClellan, for
j “earth has no curse like love to hatred turn-
H1.” , .
Our present head-quarters. are at Centre-
ville—our line a strong one—our armyfeele
strong and is strong. God grant its power
may be successfully put forth in aid of Lib-
Yours, Joe, A B.

Patriotism and Piety.
The recently published Minutes of the
General Association of the Congregational
Churches of Connecticut, at their 154th An-
nual Meeting, held in Hartford, June 16—18,
1863, contain many interesting statements
respecting, the relation of these Churches‘to
he existing War in support of the Govern-
ment of the United States against Treason
and Rebellion.
The following is from the “ Report on the
State of Religion,” pp. 33, 34.
“The Ministers and Churches connect-
ed with this General Association _ hays"
'prov'éd themselves loyal to the Natidna‘l'
Government. In the terrible civil war
through which we are passing, every one of
these churches, without doubt, has rep,»
resentatious in either the Army or the Navy,
or in both. And in very many instances,
our goodliest yOuug men, our most , efficient
Christian laborers, have yielded to the de-
mands: of i the’ .‘Government. - ‘Aud ‘ a'very
large proportion of our Christian congrega-
tions can find, .in the roll of honored dead,
the names of beloved memberswho have
laid ddwp theirlives for their country.—
Some of ‘Our ministers, and pastors, even,
are laboring with self-sacrificing zeal and”
fidelity among our soldiers, in the service
of the Christian Commission. 2 Several have
acted as regularlArmy. Chaplains, With great
efficiency and success. {TWO pastors have
' served personally as'line Officers in the army. ‘
To these - brethren the General Association
would extend their brotherlysympathy in
their labors and sufferings 'as patrioticsol-x
diers—as also toall our dear brethren, the
members Of om churches, ,who .arenobly _
hazardin'gtheir lives in the cause of liberty

f’ INJUNCTION.—The Superior Court has
issued an injunction restraining the Sc-
lectmen cf' the town from levying the one

$300 to drafted men; and the Town
Treasurer is restrained from paying said
orders under penalty of $5,000.
. The. Whole proceedings, both with re-
gard to the orders and the tax, were
illegal, and had any unfortunate indi-
vidual received an order for $300, he
would have found it to be all moonshine—
