FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1863. THE NEWS. The all absorbing topic of interest yea-lerdsy, wherever news channels reached, and newsmongers fathered, was the event real, result possible, and mystery still clinging about the theatre of war on the liarpahannock. The morning aspect was cheerful, derived from the later dispatches "Wednesday night, but gloom gathered fast with the first instalment of morning news, gained still darker shades as the day advanced, nntil romors began to grow ia the air, and rumored dispatches were retailed at second hand swing every possible coloring and accessory to the undeniable reverse to our cause in Virginia. But last night's news puts a better phase on the affair.

The sore bruises and hard knocks are not all en one side. The rebels are not wholly-given, tip to exultation. Hooker's noble army is strained, not stranded. "Will ght again shortly. "Was not driven over the river; and saved all its mteriiL Xet nobody make the aspect worse than it is.

If any man excitingly does so, note him as dangerous, and tell him that muzzles will be safe for Lis breed under Gen. Bcmside's dog-law. The removal of the lestricticns on the telegraph opens to our columns a full flood of telegraphic news from our reporters at the East. A dispatch announces the capture Of Grand Gulf by a portion of Gen. Grant's forces, land and naval, which co-operated in the attack.

The trial of Vallandigham concluded That asch traitor defied the Court, and denies the juria-dieton of Gen. Earnside. A failure to deal with this traitor as he deserves, would be equal to a reverse to our army in the fitld. "We write thU advisedly. The people are weary of the presence and influence of these wretches, and are waiting to see retuted the infamous slander, that the Government glare not handle these Copperheads roughly.

The case of Vallandigham will decide Tery many lesser ones. Gen. Burnside's order, to-day issued, win, we feel confident, fully meet the case. The dispatches say that the Government are about to issue an order sending South from "Washington all dMoyal persons. That will, if carried out, create frightful vacancies in some of the departments where hissing traitors by the score have been retained, despite of proof of their disloyalty and protest against their retention.

TEE LATH EIS VCe 8t21 believe in Joe Hooker At this vriting, the country supposes that his lame 13 associated with defeat that his movement was a failure, and that his generalship is en illusion. We do not know what positively were the causes of his retrograde march across the Rappahannock. "We cap afford to wait the reconciliation ot conflicting statements before we attempt to make anything but hypothetical statements to others. Meanwhile, we see in the results already certain, and in the plan of operations xsiffortune has developed, enough to i compel our admiration of the high and brilliant qualities as a commander that 5en. Hooker has displayed.

His masterly manoeuvre by which he succeeded in deceiving the enemy as to his probable place crossing his profound secrecy of purpose until a revelation to. his inferior oScers -was imperative if he would have their intelligent co-operation the celerity of hi3 movements, quite unexampled in the war 'in the East; his boldness which dared the assumption ot greit risks for the accomplishment of a great purpose; his unquestionable success in effecting a passage of a large river in the face of a foe that had spent six months in guarding and fortifying the fords bis greater success in gain-ing the enemy's flank, compelling" him to take the hazard of a combat outside of his intrenchments his plan of the cavalry raid in three grand- divisions under Gen. Stoneman, which did the enemy much serious mischief, and which, lad all gone well, would have made a surrender of the entire rebel army a necessity of the situation; his movement upon -Fredericksburg, auxiliary to the strategy, the execution of which he supervised all these things mark him as a great Commander. He Beems to have done Sol that any General could have done but if overborne in the fight by superior or equal numbers, who, cognizant of the evidences of his courage and skill that we have stated, can say that his was the fault? "We do not yet believe that he was beaten; or that in what devolved upon him, he was guilty of grave fault. He lacked 4he assistance of Sedgwick, who failed, though furnished with what seems to have been a sufficient force, to execute the part of the plan assigned to him.

He fought against the elements, which heed no can nohading or charges infantry in lme. The waters of the Rappahannock, not the enemy, threatened the line of his communications, the roads were almost impassable and we have no doubt that the sequel will show, that, as he went out in light marching order, with only two wagons to each regiment, and probably not a large supply of ammo- xiition, he was compelled by prudential reasons that ought to influence any commander, threatened an insufficiency of the feed necessary to all men, and of powder and ball without which armies are nothing, to retire. That he took the backward step, and succeeded in recrossiug his men, remaining munitions, wagons and artillery, without molestation by the op- poring army, is proof enough that he was not even defeated in his purpose by any agencies that the rebels wielded. He was, as now appears, simply unfortunate. This is our hypothesis.

"We doubt not that it will prove to be in the main correct. The result is not what -the country anticipated. But who that faced the storm of Monday night and Tuesday could have loretold its coming or who but one who has seen the effect of such a deluge of rain, and the consequent sea of upon an army in motion an army without tents, and probably on half rations, could have estimated their worth to the nemy close to his depotf supplies. A reinforcement twentv-five thousand fresh men would not have served his purpose so well. "We teel the pam and mortification of xiiis terrible miscarriage of what was -wisely and nobly conceived but there fe in the whole chapter of accidents no cause Jor despondency or discouratrement.

The army is safe, and has been so reinforced that its losses, thougn doubtless large in the aggregate, appear inconsiderable. "We do not believe that its morale has been de stroyed, uen. iiooRer is still ia command and if in the range of possibilities ne will retrieve the disasters by which he has been overwhelmed, tie is not the xuan, still having much means at his dispo sal, to let grass grow beneath his feet. The country will hear from Joe Hooker egaio. of the be a In It VOLUME XVI.

The National Intelligencer of Washington, to-day's issue, announces a reverse to the Union arms on the Bappahacnock, saying official information received at the War Department last evening, authorizes us to state that Gen.

Hooker, after waiting in the rain near Ctancellorsville, on Tuesday, for a renewal xf battle by the enemy, recrossed the Rappahannock on the evening of that day. He waa influenced by prudential motives, springing, douKUess, in part, from the great and sudden rise of the Virginia rivers, In consequence of the recent heavy rains, threatening our supplies. We do not learn that Gen. Hooker was apprised, before making this movement, of the success winch is alleged to have attended the operations of Gen. Stoneman in breaking the rebel communication with Richmond.

If the fact had been known to him, assuming it to a fact, it may be doubted whether General Hooker would have deemed it necessary to take a step which must tend to deprive him of spmej at least, of tne advantages resulting from Gen. Stoneman' Co operitlStf expedi tion. The New York Tribune publishes an extra announcing the retreat or the Army of the Potomac, and reflecting somewhat severely on Gen. Hooker. It says the order for retreat was surprise, as it was believed to be the deter mination to march out and attack thejrebels front.

The crossing commenced at one o'clock on Tuesday night, and at three o'clock on Wed nesday, all the wagon and mule trains, and artillery had crossed, and the infantry was crossing on two bridgts at United States ford, Gen. Couch' 6 corps in the advance. The retreat was covered by Gen. Mead's 5th corps. Lee's sharpshoote rs picked off the artillery horses and any mounted officers seen.

The rebel batteries occupied all the advantageous positions, and Crtd vigorously upon Hooker's camp, but disappeared as soon as our batteries opeaed upon At a consultation of the corps commanders, was decided that the enemy was too pow. erfuL Gen. Sedgwick failed to join General Hooker, and being hard pressed, crossed the Rappahannock to revent annihilation. His experiment cost us two thousand men. The weak counsels of Gen.

Hooker's Corps Commanders shook his confidence, and in a fatal moment he gave the order to evacuate his strong position, and his fortified camp, and to retreat. The army is not panic-stricken, but greatly demoralized by this inglorious retreat. The TTorW, of this morning, says that rein forcements are pressing down to Hooker, which will enable him to outnumber any force that may be brought against him, and that Hooker will Immediately change his base of operations, but where Is unknowa. says that Stoneman' cavalry expedition was a complete success. Nothing but a bare statement of the fact of the retreat has as yet been made here (wash jiigton.) The most intense excitement prevails in tlAs city with reference to this move ment, and there Is great anxiety to get 31 clal information.

tJtcial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribnne. PjrrLADli.PHii, May 7, 1863. This evening's Washiogton Slar contains the following The storm that commenced on Monday evening and continued throughout Tuesday was at its height yesterday, evident ly warned Gen. Hooker, whose movements were necessarily made with only eight days' supplies, carried by the men, which werethen nearly consumed, and without trains, of the imminent danger that unless he promptly sought his camp, the elements would put a stop to his operations. The railroad commu nication with Acquia Creek was destroyed by the floods for twelve hours at Creak Station before he determined to cross the river.

In the course of all the fighting throughout Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the enemy cao not ventured a general engage ment with his army, a portion only of which were is action at any one time, and npon no occasion with aa great a loss as he Inflicted upon the rebels Nevertheless it became evi dent that this greatest storm of tire season would surely cnt off his supplies of all de scription, if he remained on the south side of the an opportunity to induce the enemy to risk a general engagement. He therefore, evidently had left him but the only alternative of returning for. the time being to where his supplies could readily reach him. Yesterday Gen. 51ilroy captured a rebel of ficer, oa whose person was found fresh disnatch from Gen.

The splendid pew transport Msjestle, worth seventy thousand dollars, now aiakiDt; her third trip, was burned lutt night at ani past ten, while lying at a wood pile, five miles below Hickman. The fire broke ont ou the boiler deck, in some mattresses, and is supposed to be the wort of an incendiary. Sue had on board fourteen hundred tons of Government freight, nearly all coiumiseary stores, aud 150 head of Government horses, all except two of which were bnrned.

Their groans, moans and frightful cries are said to have been horrifying in the extreme. One human life was lost, that ot a lame boy, who waa a cabin passenger. Most of tbe passengers were asleep when the fire broke out. The Maria DenniDg and the Ci'y of Alton were wooding near by, and came to the assistance of the passengers.

He retired to the norih bank of the Rappahannock to get 40,000 men which had not been engaged, and will now he reinforeed by 30,000 under Heintzelman.

THE SEW YORK WORLD EXTRA. New Yop.k, May 7. We learn by a special messenger that a preat, battle wais fought on Tuesday, aud Gen.

Hooker with his army was driven back across the Rappa-bannock. Lee was heavily reinforced, and the last battle exceeded in slaughter those of the preceding days. Nothing yet. has been heard of Stoneman. It seems impossible to doubt that he and his forces be captured- Ricbmond papers of the 5rh, state that S'ouemaij's cavalry destroyed all the bridges between Richmond and the Rappahannock, tore up the railroad, cut the telegraph, and ventured within a few miles of liichmond.

Consequently no communication can be had with Lee's army. cmioial lnteinerence it-ern csroneman states that after the above, be deployed his immense force, forming a line -f observation to detect rebel reinforcements. It is rumored that Lee has massed his army on our right, and Hooker will change his base. TEE NEW YORK TRIBUNE'S EXTRA. New York, May 7.

TLe N. Y.

The corps recently ei gaficd at Chnnccllorsvill Jmi recrossed, and ia inarching back to' Fa'month. Hooker's retreat has caused arreat panic at Aquia Creek.

The crossing commenced cn Tuesday nigat, covered by Meade and the Cth corps. Lee's shiirpshooters picked off our artillery horses and mounted officers. The rebel batteries occupied all fired vigorously on Hooker's cam p. A consultation of the Corps Commanders decided that the enemy was too powerful. Sedgwick had failed to join Hooker, and being hard pressed, crossed the river to prevent an-ritilation, the experiment costing 6,000 men.

This, added to the counsels of the Corps Commanders, shook Hooker's confidence, and he ordered tie evacuation cf his strong position. The armv is greatly demoralized by this inglo- rioua reFrcat. The Tri'. nne closes by saying: The army is safe loss 10.000 men, and a ranch larger number unfit for duty. The heavy rains have impaired the health of the men.

The dispatch boat, New National has arrived from below, with some particulars of the gunboat attack on Haloes' Bluff, and also the important announcement that Grand Gulf, Is at last in Federal possession. Tue transports that ran the blockade at Grand Gulf were loaded with Federal soldiers. They landed below. At this the rebels took alarm snd began to evacuate.

Our forces closed in however in time to cap ture fife hundred prisoners, and all the guns ammunition aud camp equipments. The capture took place on Thursday last. It is deemed a highly important achievement, as it both gives us akey to Vicksburg aud Port Hudson. In the attach on Haines Bluff, jthe Choctaw was penetrated by three shots below the water line, one shot entering three feet below the surface of the water. Another shot penetrated her casemates, and floundered on her deck.

It was supposed to be a shell, and all hands beat a hasty retreat, except Chief-Engineer Baldwin, who ran up, seized it, and threw it overboard. One shot struck a barrel of plaster-paris, on the Choctaw, throwing its contents into the air, presenting tbe appearance of steam, at hich the Rebels jumped on the top of their fortifications and swung their hats and cheered. On Wednesday evening the tng Lilly ran against the bow of the Choctaw, knock! a hole in her, and she sunk in two minutes. The steamer Minnesota was captured by the Rebels at Greenville, on Sunday last, and burned. She had two barges of coal hi tow, and oue barge of Sutler's goods.

The coal was lost, but the Sutler's goods were niostry picked up by the Conestoga. The gunboat Cricket came up and shelled tbe Rebels away. The Cricket, and Rattler will remain at Green ville.

WASHDfSTON, May 7, 1S63. Two hundred and ten officers, exchanged by the rebels, left Richmond on Tuesday, and have arrived here or at Annapolis. Among them are General's Stoughton and Willich. They are mostly Indiana officers, and were taken at Murfreesboro. Two weeks ago the rebels procured paroles from these officers, promising them immedi ate exchange, and taking advantage of this had withdrawn even common guards from the prisons.

None were on guard save wounded soldiers who limped along their beats almost as powerless as their unarmed prisoners. Stoughton was told by rebel officers, who were at Charleston during the bombardment, that Sumpter was on the point of surrender when our attack ceased. They said that some shot had passed entirely through the fort. The first impressions of danger from British complications are somewhat lessened, nnder the light cast on the real s'ate of feeling there by fall reports of deba'es.

At the election to-day for city officers, the entire Union ticket was elected in au tne Wards. The majority for Mayor is one hun dred and forty five.

While this movement is going on, other columns consisting of the corps of Genera! Meade, the 5th, and Gen.

Stoneman, the 12th, are moving on different roads, and have taken up positions up the Rappahannock, in the neighborhood of Rank's and United States fords, 'respectively eight and eleven miles aboye Fredericksburg, and are, it will be remembered, the places selected by Gen. Bum-eide for his crossing on the occasion of the mud campaign. Btfore dawn cf Tuesday the pontoon boats Lad been taken from the wagons a couple of h.Ues below Fredericksburg, and under cover of a very heavy fog were carried noiselessly down on men's shoulders to the river's bank aud deposited In the water. They were Im-niediately manned by the troops of Russell's brigade of Brooke's division, 6th army corps, and rapidly pushed over. The rebels here, as at every ford for miles up acd down the river, were posted alongthe lhcr's margin in double lines of rifle pits, ccntuiiiiiig, pei heps, a couple of hundred men tch.

At the lower crossing they made but a ftble resistance, and in a few moments our nitn were in possets-ion of both lines of rifle i ith the loss cf half a dozen men. Indeed, a rebel Lieutenant, captured here, a dis-irgenuous joung man, told us that they had been expresely instructed not to offer very cerious resistance. Ttis beirg accomplished, the whole of Brooke's division was passed over the three poiitoon-briil ges, hich were immediately cocstiucted under charge of Chief Engineer Ef ntam, to hold the position and the bridge. A mile and a half below the position of Gen. Sedgwick's bridges, at an estate called ou liheld, Reynold's command was instruct ed to effect a crossing.

In doing this, however, they were not quite so lucky as those above them. Daylight bad come, while the ergineers were still endeavoring to get the pciitoon boats down to the water.bat the firo from the rebel sharpshooters, who were placed in rifle pits, which had been thrown up opposite them, also succeeded in delaying operations eo much that it was 10 o'clock in the forenoon before they could be got into the water, to silence the fire of the sharpshoot ers.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. WAraraeTOH, May 7, 1863. Exchanged officers, who arrived to-day, say that en Saturday, Sunday and Monday last, the most remarkable panic prevailed in Rich mond. There was not a soldier there, or in Petersburg, and the citizens and Department Clerks constituted the sole defence cf the city. Gens.

Stonghton and Willich think that 530 cavalry could have taken the city, captured Jeff. Davis, the heads of Departments and leading conspirators, and liberated all of our prisoners now confined there. Two of Stoneman scouts were taken with in a mile and a quarter of Richimmd, by a few mounted rebels. Stoneiuan's operations seem to have been remarkably successful, not less in striking terror to the rebels than in inflicting serious damage. He tore up not less than thirty miles of the railroad between Fredericksburg and Richmond, and destroyed the Important bridges over the Chickabominy and Pamunky rivers.

He destroyed the locks on the canal, thirty miles above Richmond, and the others twenty miles above, thus cutting off one of their main reliance for supplies from Richmond. He captured and destroyed the rolling stock of two trains, captured a corral of 800 horses, ruining loose as many of his own exhausted ones. He took three times as many prison-ers as he lost. He met no organized resistance. Stoneman, with the bulk of his command, did not approach nearer than fifteen, miles of Richmond.

Only smaller bodies penetrated to the immediate vicinity of the rebel capital. The rebels speak of the whole r.dd as un-paralclled in this or any other war. ACCOOJT3 FROM REBEL SOURCES. Foktbxss Mohbos, May 6. The Richmond Enquirer, of May 5th, contains an account of a severe battle having been fought on Sunday the 3d at Spottsylvania, in which they admit a heavy rebel loss.

Gen. Paxton was killed, and Gen. Jackson wounded by the loss of an arm. Gen. Heath and Gen.

A. P. Hill were slightly wounded. The battle was renewed on the morning of the 4th. The Enquirer states that the loss was heavy on both sides, and claims that the rebels took 5,000 Fsderal prisoners.

While this battle was being taught, the Enquirer says Gen. Stoneman with 15,000 cavalry destroyed the Fredericksburg railroad at Ashland, and took possession of a train of cars, capturing several rebel government officers. The engineer jumped from the engine and pretended to be dead, but the Yankees awoke him and made him run the train to the village; they also destroyed two locomotives. A detachment of Yankees then proceeded to Hanover Court House, tearing up the Centra Railroad track and cutting the telegraph wires. They also burnt the Court House, and severa bridges on the Fredericksburg Railroad and destroyed the water tank at Hungary.

They were evidently guided by some one fa miliar with the country. We have obtained bis name and he is well known in Richmond. Brook Pike the Yankees exchanged their traded horses for fresh ones and proceeded across the Chickabominy, destroying the turn pike and railroad bridges over that river, and captured a locomotive which had been sent out this morning on a reconnoissance.

They have destroyed several trains ol cars, loaded with Government stores. Mujford, May 7. Yesterday General Jackson penetrated to the rear of the enemy and drove him from bis positioa in the wilderness, to within a mile of Chancellorsville.

FEEDEIUCKSBrBG TO BUFf OLK. in evea a worse position for supplies than our own is at this time, as Hooker is now where his communications are already re established, while theirs with Richmond must continue unavailable for weeks to come, necessitating them to scatter or fall back in a body. It seems to us on the whole, indeed, it is clear, that a decleiTe victory was snatched from our gallant troops only by the elements. Hooker brought off with him, we may add, an aggregate of 2,500 prisoners. Before daylight, on Monday morning, the enemy cams back and re-occupied the works which Sedgwick had left when proceeding to join Hooker.

The light also discovered them massed heavily upon the hills to the left and upon his front, their total force there aggregated being apparently between 50,000 and 70,000 men. Thus they were not only on his left flank and front, but in the works between him and Gibbous. Everything was comparatively quiet until sbovt 4 p. when the rebels attacked from the left, and were replied to by a single section cf artillery immediately in front of where they attacked. As their infantry moved, Sedgwick's artillery opened from all quarters, but could not check their flow and steady advance, under which Sedgwick gradually fell back a mile and a halt towards Banks' Ford.

This as the main engagement of Monday afternoon, and lasted until 9 p. m. In it our loss was about 4,000 and miss ing, making the total loss of Sedgwick's and Gibbons comraaiids, including those lost on" the previous day, about 5,000, or half the whole loss of Hooker's army In thefur days' fighting. On that (Monday) night, Sedgwick re-crossed his force and Gibbous' to the north bank of the Rappahannock. It Is evident that the Confederates played here their old game of massing their troops in crnshirg force on our exposed points with ropid change of position, and that after throw ing themselves with all their weight on Hook er, they, with great celerity, moved off to repeat the blow upon Sedgwick's detached force, and this fact explains that mysterious silence in front of Hooker, while they were thus occupied with Sedgwick.

It is stated that General Averiil, who com manded the cavalry column sent In the direc tion of Culpepper and Gordonsville, has been relieved from command by Gen. Hooker, for not carrying out orders to push on to Gor donsville, and after destroying everything that would be useful to the rebels, then to re turn and rejoin our right wing, but instead of doing this, it is said that after driving Fitzhugh Lee across the Rapidan, he halted for the night, and instead of resuming the cbase next morning to Gordonsville, he re turned to our army, which he joined on Sun day. His cavalry division, it is said, has bean turned over to Gen. Pleasonton. Geh.

Aver- ill has shown himself a gallant and daring offi cer, and his friends believe that he will fully exonerate himself to the fullest in the matter. Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. PnrxjjKLrBxa, May 5, 1S6. The N. T.

Timet of this morning publishes an elaborate account or tne military opera tions on the Rappahannock, up to Sunday night, from which I make the following ab stract. The narrative commences thus It is Monday morning, and the army is all in motion. The vast area it covers of miles and miles lu extent. Is an animated scene of bustle and stir. The camps are broken, and the comfortable loghutsand win ter quarters in which the men have been lodged for months are abandoned.

Columns of troops are moving on a dozen different roads, carefully concealing themselves from the enemies view by marching through the woods and behind the knolls and swamps of the broken ground along the Rappahannock, Long trains of artillery, pack mules "and ambulances, add their own features of the imposing and the picturesque to the scene. The army in all its aspects, material and morale, is in splendid condition. It is larger, and the health of the troops is better, than it ever was before. Great mobility has been secured by cutting down the amount of transportation, and by employing pack mules, which go any where in all weathers, instead of our heavy wagons. which are always stuck in the mud only two wacons are allowed to a regiment.

The army is no longer encumbered with the ponderous lmpedementa which used to be the marvel of all who beheld it. In tact we now approxi mate the French standard, which enables an army to cany fourteen days provisions, with out a wheel behind it. The moral transformation is not less com plete. Nothing in this line of phenomena was more striking than the admirable secrecy that excluded all knowledge in regard to the proposed plan and movements of the opening campaign. It was a new and somewhat tantalizing sensation, for any one who has followed the movements of the army in the field will testify that, hitherto, projected opera tions have always been known and discussed by nearly everybody, even the negroes and servants in the camps, for days and weeks before they took place.

In this case, absolute ignorance prevailed. Not even the corps commanders knew what was intended, and had only their specific individual orders for the day. In this case, the speculators ot the great game of chess were blindfolded. The master player alone had his eyes open. In the great game of war, time and space are the elements with which the General has to deal.

Clearly, and for that purpose, the (Greatest mobility, with secrecy, are indispensable conditions of all military combinations. The mind of Gen. Hooker is one that will put forth all the resources of these elements. By Tuesday morning an acute, eye might begin to takein a rough outline of apian, from the disposition then made of the troops. Three of the seven corp dc armee composing the ann'y of the Potomac, namely, the first corps, MaJ.

Gen. Reynolds; the third corps, Mj. Gen. Sickles and the sixth army corps, Maj. Gen.

Sedgwick, had been moved from their camps the night before, and had taken up their position at the same point of the Rappahannock where Gen. Franklin had his crossing at the. time of the battle of Freder- ,4 1 the RappshannocK..
