. 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

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-«

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.
