___“¢e-rurl-upon the infuriated demons of the “pF Rickdidnd and destroying bridges and . SATURDAY; MORNING MAY 9th. ‘On THE RAPPAHANNOCK.—The news from:Hodket’s command is bad. Somebody has blundered again. ‘Our soldiers have fought~ well; -performed-prodigies of volor, but have been eut up comnidersbly. -— The result of the recent forward move~ ment. across the Rappshannoek bas been guch that Hooker ‘muy ‘be ‘obliged to refire from the command in Virginia, Jike his predééessors. What of that? Generals are nothing in comparison with the great cause of huniin berty. “What if we lose five hundred thousand brave men more on en, pangttined fields in Virginia? The greatest work ‘of the present generation must be acw womplished though Mississippis of blood shall flow down from southern mountain, vulley , and plain, to the sea. The time has-come for more vigor. The country should have had five hundred thou sand men now ready in cainps of instruction South. We whould have enforced the conscription sct without delay after its piewage-t One hendted thousand men reintorcing the army of Hooker would be likely to be successful. “But why sot fave two or three bun~ dred thousand. The country, is full of ster! ing, Willing ‘men. Give them a chance. to strike for the cherished institations of our country. ; = “Let vo one despond. As disasters thicken our souls should be fired all the more with martial fervot and sublimest patriotiwm.— The time bas not come even yet, for the transcendant heroism we read of in°Grecian ‘and Carthagenian Wistory. We have come ‘to-no wuch atrait when men become. gods in the fade of danger. Human liberty is the prize for which we contend, than which no higher object can’be thought of for which to pledge life, fortune andsacred honor. There are twenty millions of Americans who give physical and sympathetic support ‘to the great ciuse. They ate tavineible. The civilized wotld must give them. moral aid? if not at once, eventually when the mists of prejudice and national spleen shall have been driven away. . aa FS “Our cause is just, and life is nothing when given in detense of right. Our buffering country needs oar support. It calls upon us; its voice shall be anawered with gladneds. Every patriot will cling closet and closer to that Goverpment which is the "mother and champion of human freedom, iv this. its hour of reveraé. Who talks glooms . ily ofconcession ? Who ought not rather to rejoice that the pure gold of patriotism is at last to come forth from the refiner’s fire? Tried by disaster we shall develop the great qualities of soul essential to sublime undertakings and the establishment of sacred, neversdyivg principles. Let us with ‘one voice shout, “to arms!’ and swear together to win the priceless boon of freedom for all mankind for all time to come, or per-’ ish amid the ruins ofa glorious Republic. _ Tue News from the. Rappahannock is mixed. An effort is mado in late dispatches to puta good face on the state ofaffairs with Hooker's army, but the aspect is bad enough. Stoneman with his cavalry appears to have * done good work, going to within two tiles communications. But-the fact that Hooker has retired behind the Rappahannock has s disheartening effect. That our forces were met by overwhslmning nunibets and driven back ia probably the fact. ‘The mesaage to _ a banking house in New York, putting the best free on the retreat possible, amounts ‘to nothing. The banking house probably held a large amount of Government paper and was in need of just such dispatches, as ~++¢was likely to depreciate in value by a reverse te our arms. The news is generally not to be taken as true in detail. It mostly comes from correspondents of newspapers, ‘ many of whom are under pay of stock-brokers in New York, who have gold to make aprofit on . The news is not As bad as was at first supposed, but bad enough. We have lost and disabled a great many men, but have probably punished the enemy severely. The loxs-an oiit side would not be much, if a correapondent's report that the army is demoralized, shattld prove nottrue. But it will take Weeks before we learn all the real facts in telatlon te the late hostile collision at — a Jackson is seriously wounded. ” ‘The latest informatian from the battleFrom our “extra” of yesterday “By Telegraph TO THE. DAILY TRANSCRIPT. New York, May 7th.—Richmond papers of May 5th say Stonemani’s forces played ead . havoe witb the Railroad xt Hanover Junc« tion. and.,.other points ; destroying large. amount of -valuable property and all the Raitroad bridges t6 within five miles of Ricb~, niond. sf — The: same ‘paper also says that Stonewall, th Last evening’s Washington Star says we havenewes from Stéteman that he divided his foree, 12,000 cavalry into 3. columns.— The one commanded, by himself committed the havee above referred to by the Richmond papers. Another, uhder General Averill, after crossing the Rappahannock at Kelley's Ford, pushed-to Brady’s station near Culpep~ per, driving in the rebe! pickets.. He then pushed on in the direction of Culpepper, where 500 rebel cavalry were dispersed and captured. A large amount of rebel flour was captured. then pushed on after the retreating rebels, follawing them to Rapi-« dan station where theygurned the railroad bridge over which they had retreated after a shatp fignt. Our loss is They lost several killed besides fer and also 30 prisoners whom Gen brought back. : near Chancellorville states that the aggre~ gate rebel loss m 4 days fighting is far larger than ours which is natoral evoughas they were necessarily the attacking party and pressed very.heavily against points. they sex lected to “Assail, thus presenting numerous. opportunities for our artillery to mow them down in great numbers. Richmond papers of yesterday May 6th claim thaf they took in the engagement of Saturday, May 2d. five thousand prisoners from the 11th cotps (Howard’s.) ~ WASHINGTON, May 6th.—The object of Averill’a expedition seems to have been the destruction of: Rapidan Station bridge which the enemy in their panic did for him. After ptoceeding as far as Orange Court House he returned with his force to the main army at Chancellorville,. joining it-on Sunday last. Another column of Stoneman’s force under command of Gen. Buford which left the Rappahannock at the same time pushed directly fer Gordonsville. Positive information has been received announcing its success in cutting Virginia Central Railroad between Gordonsville and Richmond and also between the former place and Charlottaville; this with the achievements of other columns, destroying the road between Fredericksburg and Richmond,completely stopping railroad come munication in any direction out from Lee’s main army and breaking up for the time being. the enemy’s facilities for forwarding supplies. Cricaco, May 7th.—The Washington cor. respondent says that on the whole the action of Sunday may be set down as somewhat in the nature of a-reverse to us—it continued till 8 o’clock at night. Some accounts say later still. The N. Y. Tribune of the 7th says the army of the Potomac crossed the Rappahannock at United States and Banks Fords to old camps along the Aquia railread. The crossing was effected with loss. Sedgwick at Fredericksburg was overwhelmed by numbers and barely able to escape. He sav ed his artillery and trains. Mis loss about 5000, Fredericksburg and the Hights were re-occupied by the rebels. Hogter's -retreat--caused great panic -at Aquia Creek. The crossing commenced Tuesday night and was covered by 3d and 5th corps. Lee's sharpshooters picked: off number of artillery, horses and wounded of~ ficers. Their batteries occupied all the advantageous positions and plied vigorously on Hooker's force. On consultation of corps commanders it was decided that the enemy were too powerful: Sedwick’s unsuccess. ful attempt to. join Hooker, added ts the counsels. of corps commanders, shook Hooker’s confidence; and he ordered the evacuax tion. The army was greatly demoralited by this inglorious retreat. This correspondent says, there was no time from Friday imorning to Motiday night bat Hooker could have Attacked and defeated Lee, but he lacked ability ti give the order. ‘The Triditiie closes‘ by éaying that the army is safe: Loss, ten thousand men and a much larger number unfit for dlity. Heavy rains have impaired. the health of the men. 3 The Herald says it is Fithored that Lee has massed hisarmy on ouf right, and that Hooker will change hid base. Hooker is much disheartened; but there is hope yet.headquarters says séven rebel divisions are sald to b@m front of.our army with Stuart’s covalry on our left. It is believed the rebels ate bringing up ‘feinfercements overDivision of Sickles’ corps, 3 officers and 20 privates killed, 6 officers and 124 privates wounded. Berry’s division, 12 officers and 153 privates killed and 85 officers and 841 privates wounded. ‘Third Division, Sickles’ corps. 2 staff officers and seven line officers and 79 privates killed, and J staff officer and 46 line officers and 50 privates wounded. First division, third corps, 15 officers and 84 jen killed, and--64 officers and 778 ‘privates wounded. New Yoru, 7th—The Times. Extra states that the rebel troops which reinforced Lee came from Lynchburg, via Gordonsville. That paper says had we been content with holding the heights of Federicksburg, after capturing them, all would have been well. We then-had the enemy in a tight place, following : ‘A message from Washington to a large banking house in this city brings intelligence in whith they have all faith—that no battle has been fought since Monday, May 4th-— Hobiker’s mdvement across the river was dictated.by prudence, the rise in the river Lendangering his communications: No force ef the enemy drove him in his retirement.” The message also says there were 40,000 of our men on the north side of the river that had not been engaged. that communications of the rebel army had been cut off from that city, cutting off all lines of supply. The same paper says that Gen. Peck's forces were pressing on after the reb el forces which had abandoned the serge of Suffolk. and that Keyes corps, on the Peninsula, was moving. san See « Gold aud stocks about previous quotations. Cairo, May 7th.—Dispatches brought from our fleet bring important news of the. capture on Grand Gulf, at the mouth of Big Black, by Gen: Grant, of 500 prisons ers-with all guns, stores, ammunition &é. . The place is the key to both Port Hudson and Vicksburg. Fortress Monroe, May 6.—The Nan. semond river is cleared ot rebel batteries and opened to navigation. Yesterday the rebels retreated, our forees pursuing. CHicaGo, May 7th—Dispatches from Mils liken’s Rend, La. dated Ist, says :—Information received from Grand Gulf. to yesterday morning eays gunboats bombarded place for eight hours, April 29th, and with all the transports with troops ran Past the blockade s8me night. Our loss 80 killed and wounded. Gunboat Tuscumbia badly crippled. McClernand‘s corps and Logan's division were on the march to Port Hudeon. Gen. Grant was confident of success. O=r army is in fine spirits. ; te From a dispatch to the Journal lost evening we gather better news. Secretary of war, Stanton. telegraphed Gov. Stanford yesterday, that the President and Halleck had visited Hooker's army. Not more than one-third of the.army was engaged, and the efficiency of the army isnot injured at all. It occupies its old position this side of the Rappahannock and will renew offensive operations soon. Stoneman's raid was a complete. sticces. He penetrated to within twe miles of Richmond and cut the communica~ tions of the enemy fn that direction. The news is net near so bad as was supposed, if the report of Sécretary Stanton be true. The main plan of Hooker failed but the injury: is not irreparable. Ee) Seed! Seed!!! Seed!!
