Loan are ih best evidence that can be ottered of the ultimate re-cs tablishmeut of the Union, for unless this feeling prevailed capitalists would not invest their means at the rate of millions per day. A remarkable con trast also is presented between Buch anan s " Lnion as it was" and now. Then, with but a small debt and in a time of peace, government had to pay a ruinous rate of interest; now, with a stupendous war and heavy debt, mil lions arc daily poured into the lap of government at five per cent! Our Country and its Destiny. The great events now transpiring ! in Virginia will, nay must, result in the weal or welfare of this country lor all time to come. With the rebel pa pers we believe this will be the lust year of the war, and it will either end in the supremacy of the National Govern ment and the re-establishment of its power over the traitorous fields of the South, or in the ruin of both. That such is our impending fate is taught by the lessons of all history, and wo to that man who disregards it. Our own faith in the ultimate success of our armies is strong, but the work be fore them is not one of an hour, a day, a week, nor a month. Let every truo patriot then bide his time with pa tience. and not expect too much. Bat tles have yet to be fought—temporary reverses may bo sustained—thousands of lives sacrificed, before the desired end can be seen to gleam on the hori zon. And we would, above all othor matters warn our readers not to bo dispirited by the blackhearted wretch es who like birds of ill omen go croak ing along the streets and by-ways pre dicting that their rebel allies cannot be conquered, whose malicious smiles almost show that they inwardly re joice at any reported rebel success, or •who even in a time like the present, when the life blood of a nation is at stake, will like demons howl at the government which is using all tho means in its power to preserve our country from ruin, its credit from the assaults of its enemies, and to secure each man in the peaceful possession of his property—for let all remember that if the restraints of Governmental law bo once broken, no living can tell what the end will be. —A great female riot occurred at Sa vannah, on the 17th ult. The women collected in a body with arms and marched through the streets in procession, demand ing bread or blood, and seizing food where ever it could be found. The soldiers were called out, aud after a brief conflict, the ringleaders were arrested and placed in jail. WAR NEWS. HEADQUARTERS AHHV or THE POTOMAC, May 4 —ti A. M.—Ti c grand movement is inaugurated at last. The Army of the Poto inao is on the march! Inasmuch us the present movement will be known—and perhaps felt—hv trie entire Re bel army in our front before the close of the day, there can be no haim in making it pub lic at once. The order to inarch was issued from Gen. j Meade's headquarters yesterday morning, and was disseminated through the army by j 2P. M. Gen. Gregg's Cavalry Division, ae cuarpaniftd by a portion of ths canvass pon toon train, moved yesterday afternoon toward Uiehardsviiie, and were engaged till late at niglit repairing the roads to Ely's Ford. Soon after midnight that division moved to the ford named, to establish a crossing. About midnight the 3d Cavalry Division, with another portion of the canvass pontoon train, ! left for Germauia Ford, five or six miles above, there to establish another mussing, j It is reported at this hour that both efforts were successful. The advance of the 2d Corps, Major Gen eral Hancock commanding, broke camp at j midnight, and moved down the Stevenshurg and Kichardsville road toward Ely's Ford. The entire corps were on the march before j 3 o'clock this morning in the sauie direction, and were expected to effect a crossing soon alter daylight. The sth Corps, under Major General War ren, commenced moving at midnight. he advance, consisting of two divisions of in fantry anil a portion of the artillery, passed through Stevenshurg at midnight, closely followed by the remainder of the corps—ail j marched towards Gerinania Ford. The Fifth Corps was closely succeeded by the Sixth, under General Sedgwick, wli ch quitted its camp at 4a. ni. Both the Fifth and Sixth Corps are understood to be crossing the Rapidan at Germania Ford. The entire movement of ilie arniv resolves itself iuto the crossing of the ivapidan river at two fords, toward the right tlank of the enemy, placing itseif crossing, on aline near ly parallel with the river, between Orange Court-House and Chance'lorsviile. At the present hour the movement is under way and there is a probability that it will be sue eessi'ully accomplished without severe oppo sition by Lee, to whom this bold push must be more or less of a surprise. It is not prob able that any serious engagement will be fought to-day. Cavalry skirmishing atid artillery dueling are likely to make up the day's fighting, unless the enemy contests the advance in force. Thus tbe.event for which the country and the army have waited for weeks tranpires. All night the sounds of preparation and de-' parturo have been heard upon the roads, and in the encampments, now almost desert ed. The rattle of forage wagons, the lowing of cattle, the slow movement of auibulan ces conveying sick to the rear, the clang of galloping hoofs, and, later still, the deliber ate and ponderous tumult of thousands of armed men moving into line and thence away over the hiils toward the enemy, have filled the hours. The Battle of Thursday The Tribune's letter from the army, da ted Thursday night, says : Early this morning the march was re sumed in the direction of Todd's tavern, which point was reached before noon, and the troops placed in line uf battle at noon. Gen. \\ ilson, commanding Gen. Kilpat riek's former cavalry division, made his whereabouts known by a brisk cannonad ing several miles southwest of the tavern and in the vicinity of Shady (.!rove church, where for three quarters of an hour he was sharply engaged with a large body of rebel cavalry and a considerable force of infant ry, by whom he was gradually forced back upon the 2d Corps. Had not the man oeuvres of the enemy prevented, night would have tound Gen Hancock's com mand at Shady (drove church, connecting with Gen. Warren on his right. By this mantcuvre we would have occupied the pike running in a gorthwestern direction from Germania Ford on the Rapidan. The movements of Lee soon revealed his real design. Gen. Warren was directed to attack him at once, which he did about LI a. m , and a determined musketry fight of an hour and a half ensued, in which Warren handsomely drove him from his position, inflicting great loss. Gen. Griffin's division, of the sth Corps, led the attack, and suffered severely, near ly 1,000 being killed, wounded, and miss iug. Finding his effort to break our cen tre futile, the enemy next attempted to in terpose an overwhelming force between Warren and Hancock, the latter of whom in accordance with orders, was marching his corps rapidly to form a junction with the former. Fortunately his advance, con sisting of Gen Birney's division, came up just in time to circumvent the rebel gen eral, who at 'Jd p. ni commenced a terrific onslaught on the divisions of Gens Birney, Gibbons, and Getty, the latter of whom-hai been temporarily detached to form the extreire right of Hancock's command.— The fight raged hotly until some time aft er dark, and resulted in the complete re pulse of the enemy at all points. Our loss in this engagement does not probably exceed 1.00(1 men. Scarcely any artillery was brought into requisition, the character of the ground rendering it useless. The battle-field is covered with a thick growth of underbrush and medium-sized oak trees, and it is owing to that fact that our losses are comparatively light. Our captures in pris oners are about 500. ben General Hancock's corps retired towards Parker's store, 3UO of the 18th 1 ennsylvania Cavalry, under Major Brin ton, sent to relieve the pickets, seven miles below, on the Spottsylvauia road, wefe at tacked by a large body of rebel troops, and driven back to Todd's tavern, in con fusion, and quite a largo number were ta ken prisoners by the rebels. A great and perhaps decisive battle will be fought to morrow (Friday). All are enthusiastic over the success of to day, and speak confidently of the movement. GENERAL SHERMAN'S COMMAND. 1 p to Monday morning nothing had been heard from General Sherman at the War Department later than Thursdav.— At that time the army under General Thomas had advanced from Chattanooga. The centre was a' Ringgold, the left wing at Catoosa Springs, the right wing a' Kidd's tauvatd It was expected that a battle would bo fought on Saturday at Tunnel Hill. CJEXEKAL STEELE'S COMMAND. The War Department has received no official notice of General Steele having fal len back to Little Rock, but it is believ ed, from information derived from other sources, that he has done so. The disas ter of General Ranks and the fall of Red river render movements in advance impos silde, aud the difficulty of obtaining sup plies rendered a retrograte movemeut ex pedient. GENERAL RANKS' COMMAND. At the latest dates General Ranks was at Alexandria, and no intimation has been given that he designed to leave that posi tion. Positive orders from General Grant required General Ranks to afford protec tion to the gunboats in the Red river. UENERAL SIOEL. General Sigel, with his force, occupies the Shenandoah \ alley, and is in position to threaten the enemy from that quart er and eo oporate with General Grant, as circumstances may require. Official Dispatch from the Secretary of War. By Telegraph to General John Dix A'. Y. WASHINGTON, May 8, 9 a. m.—We have no official reports from the front, but the Medical Director has notified the Sur goon General that our wounded were be sent Washington, and will number from 0000 to 8000. The chief Quarter- Master of the Army of the Potomac has made requisition for seven days' grain, and for railroad construction trains, and states that the enemy is reported to be re tiring. This indicates Gen. Grant's advance, and affords an inference of material success on our part. The enemy's strength has al ways been most felt in lus first blows, and their having failed, and our forces not on ly having maintained their ground but pre paiing to advance, lead to the hope of full and complete success ; for when either part fails, disorganization by straggling and desertion commences, and the enemy's loss in killed and wounded must weaken him more than we are weakened. A dispatch from Genera! Sherman, dated at tive p m. yesterday, states that Gener al Thomas had occupied Tunnel Hill, where lie expected a battle, and that the enemy had taken position at Buzzard's Roost Pass, north of Dultou. Skiimishing had taken place, but no real fighting yet. There is nothing later from Gen Banks. You may give such pub icity to the infor mation transmitted to you as you deem proper. It is designed to give official ac curate statements of what is known to the Department in this great crisis, and to withhold nothing from the public. (Signed) EDWIN M STANTON. Secretary of War. - A despatch from Cairo states that the enemy captured on the 25th ultimo Gen. Steel's wagon train while returning to Pine Bluff. The Red river advices states that Com modore Porter was endeavoring to get the gunboat Kastport off a sand-bar some six ty miles above Alexandria. A later des patch says that he was unsuccessful, and accordingly blew up the gunboat. The iron clads Fort Hindman, Joliet and two transports, despatched to assist in relieving the Eastport, were attacked while returning to Alexandria by the enemy, who lined the banks of the river on both sides, and fired upon them from a twelve pound battery, and it was found necessary to destroy the transports, which were burned. Several of the crews of the iron-clads were killed and wounded. Official Despatch from General Butler Detailing his Movements on the James River. OFF CITY POINT, May 5, 0 P. M. Lieut. Gen. Grant, Commander in- Chief: We have seized Wilson's Wharf Landing. A brigade is there; Fort Powhatan Landing, with two regiments same brigade. liave landed at City Point, Hicks' Division. The remaining brigade and battery and the re mainder of both the 18th and 10th Army Corps, have been landed at Bermuda Hun dred above the Appomattox. No opposition thus far—apparently a com plete surprise. Both army corps left York town during last night. The Monitors are all over the bar at Harrison's Lauding and above City Point. The operations of the fleet to day (Thurs day) have been conducted with energy and success. Generals Smith and Gilmore are poshing the landing of the men. Gen. Graham with the army gunboats led the advance daring the night, capturing the signal station of the rebels. Col. West with 1,800 cavalry made demonstrations from Williamsburg yesterday morning Gen. Kantz left Suffolk this morning with 3,000 cavalry for the service indicated in a conference with the Lieutenant General. The New York flag of'truoe bo it was found lying at the warf with 400 rebel prisoners which she had not time to deliver. We are landing the trocps during the night, a hazardous service iu the face of the eneuiy. (Signed) B F. BUTLER, Major General. Friday's Doing's. Gen. Grant has won the first move in the tremendous game, and though there is hard work and severe fighting yet to be done, he starts with a decided success as the initial movement. The forcing of Lee to retreat on Richmond is a mortal as well as a stratcgetical victory. It gives Gener al Grant the advantage of pursuing the campaign on the plan of his own choosing, and to the gallant Army of the Potomac it gives the triumph of having forced Gen. Lee and the Rebel army to retreat Iron) a position naturally strong and which they had strengthened with fortifications. The accounts of Friday's battle are not yet full enough to speak accurately of its princi pal points. It was however, undoubted ly a victory for us, in that it demonstrated General Grant's ability to bold a position that menaced Lee's communication with Richmond and forced upon him the neces sity ul a retreat. Our own accounts speak of the battle as a series of attempts, all of which were repulsed, to break our lines and force us back. General Lee's report of the operations, published in the Rich mond papers, and telegraphed to the War Department by General Butler, on the con trary, speaks of advance being repulsed. The rebel retreat is a substantial fact that carries its own evidence of the result of the fight. Id high officers the Rebels suf fered severely. General Lee "grieves to announce" that General Longstreet was severely wounded, General Jenkins killed and Generals Pegrani and Stafford wound ed. On our side we have Generals Wads worth and Hays killed, and General Webb wounded. The official despatches from Generals Grant and Meade show that Lee com menced his retreat on Friday night, and that on Saturday our army started in pur suit, General Hancock passing through Spottsylvania Court House at daylight. At noon on Sunday the general headquar ters wire twenty miles south of Friday's battle-field. The rebel army was on the direct road to Richmond. We had occu pied Fredericksburg, to which the wounded had been sent, and from which the army would draw supplies. Of the proportion ate losses in the battles cf Thursday and Friday we have no accurate figures. The rebels left their dead and many of their wounded on the field. We have taken two thousand piisoners and also lost some, the balance probably being in our favor. The movement under General Butler, on the south side of the James river, is also progressing favorably. Our forces have not tnuved towards Petersburg, and of course do not occupy that place, as re ported. It is still asserted however, that the rebels have evacuated the city after setting fire to the extensive mills and fac tories there. General Butler's forces had, after some severe fighting, succeeded in destroying a portion of the railroad between Richmond and Petersburg, and burning two bridges. Other important operations were also in progress in that direction. Latest News! BY TELEGRAPH. WASHINGTON May 9, 1864 Dispatches have just reached here from Gen. Grant —they arc not fully deciphered —he is "on to Richmond !" We have taken 20,00 prisoners. EDWIN" M STANTON. Fighting at spottsyivania. The Star says: A messenger got in last night from the army, who left Spott syivania Court House yesterday at t velve o'clock, and came back to Aquia Creek, and thence came up on a gun boat. At noon yesterday a heavy fight was goiug ou at Spottsyivania Court House. We held the place at that time. Lee gave evidence of being weakened, and of falling back. , The messenger had an escort of one hundred and fifty cavalry, and guerrillas were frequently encountered on the way, and it is not improbable that many of the escort were captured when returning to the army. Our wounded are reported at fifteen thousand, most of whom are at Fredericks burg, and so thick lying in tl e streets and upon the pavements that a cavalry patrol ordered out could not do duty, as it was difficult to pass between the rows of wound ed without trampling upon them. It is said there were between 2 000 and 3,000 rebel wounded left upon the field, who have also beeu brought to Fredericks burg. Gen- Butler's Movements &c. WASHINGTON, May 10—8 30 pm. Extras just issued contain the following: Secretary Stanton produced another sen sation in the Senate and House today, based upon, and supported by a telegram l'rotn Gen. Butler, that the latter had established himself finally upon the Sacred Soil south of Richmond, on the line of the Petersburg and Richmond railroad, des troying the bridges on the same; had divided Beauregard's army; whipped A P. Hill, commanding a division of Beaure gard's forces, and his cavalry forces had formed a junction with hiui—they having swept the Chickahominy country and cleared out all the rebels therein. Gen. Butler's black troops have success fully crossed the Black Water and separa ted Beauregard's army. Gen. Butler declares that he will whip that portion of Beauregard's army which is now south of his position. He thinks Beauregard will not trouble Get). Grant by reinforcing Lee. This offi cial information confirms the announcement already made up to the hour of issuing this extra. Nothing has been received to day from Gen. Grant, which is certainly good evi dence tbat the contending hosts are moving on. Information has been received of tho dffath of Major General Sedgwick, who was shot in a skirmish near Spottsyi vania. A ball entered his eye and passed through his head, killing him instantly. Q|her despatches report the capture of Fort Hurling by Gen. Butler—the destruction of the rebel ram Albemarle by the U. S. iron-plated gunboat Sar cacus—of a desperate battle raging in Georgia between our forces under Sher man and the rebels under Joe Johns ton. Dated at PHILA., May 10, 1864.
