New YORK, 111ay 4:—The Tribune corres
pondent. writing from Falmouth on Sunday,
at 12 o:clocir,.says:
Our /eft wing is in possession Of Freder
icksburg and of the first line of redoubts on
:the hill behind it, *odds now feeling its way
to the second line. The river was crossed,
and the redoubts - were carried with great
ease and with very slight loss of life.
The rebels have marched away in the di
rection of Chancellorsyille,(ten miles above
Fredericksburg) to attack our right wing
thcro po.ted, leaving at first only 10,000
men, and subsequently not mere than 5000

was very heavy.
The enemy have been forced to Eght on

It is believed in b.th wings that General
Stoneman's egneditiun .to .cut the railroads
between the rebels end Ilichmond has prov
ed successful, thus cutting off the only re

So confident is Gen. Ileaker at Falmouth
of success that, ;in conformity with his or

build a bridge over the Rappahannock.
Tho troops are in the finest spirits, and
everything looks propitious.
A It3tY OF Q c:I . 1100 KER DURING SATI7RDLIr
Early on Saturday morning the enemy
commenced shelling our troops, about two
miles'below Fredericksburg. A heavy fire
was also directed nn our lower bridge, with
the expectation, doubtless, of destroying it.
Our guns on the left returned the Ere rigor

AFFAIRS ON SUNDAY
FIRST ARMY' CORI'S, May 3, 13G3.—1t is
not contraband information to state that the
First division, under General Wadsworth—
the only part of the First corps that crossed
—was withdrawn from the south side of the
Rappahannock during the artillery firing.—
Captain Sillman, of Troy, chief of acting
Brigadier General Phelps' staff, withdrew
our pickets, and not A man was left behind.
Last evening there was a brilliant fire in
the rear of Fredericksburg. which appeared
to proceed from the burning of rebel en
campment 4. There was another fire in the
rear .f Falmouth, from the burning of en
cactranctiti flews Stonetnan's station.
Fredericksburg was occupied this morn
ing, about two o'clock, by our troops, the
batteries on either elle of the river corn
?nonce,' playing up-in each other about five
o'clock, and the roaring of cannon was loud
and prolonged.

the march, and the cannonading, was pro
gressing.. lie bad just come down from the
front, haring paid the 13Gth and 154th New
Yolk, the remainder of his regiments not
being accessible.
The rebel prisoner,' who went down to
Aquia creek, yesterday, were not so peal-
I tent as they should be. One of them in
passing Stoneman's station gave three cheers
for Gen. Jackson.
Susuar, May 3.—As morning dawned a
-harp fire from our batteries was opened
upon the heights behind Fredericksburg,
without reply from the rebels. General
Sedgwick has m roe I his headquarters to
Fredericksburg, and our men have taken
the first line of relouhts behind the city with
great ease and little loss. At the extreme
left, on the plain bordering., the river, the
troops stand quietly in line of battle, while
skirmishers gradu Illy a Iva.oce and fire ; to
feel the enemy's strength.
Notwithstanding reports of his disaster
elsewhere, and that his shells are few and
far between, it is neeossery to approach
t h ose formidable works with caution. A
sudden fire,. both front and enfilading, may
he unexpc...te Ily opened at a na unent when
we little expect it.
We have gond news of Stoneman's 8110•

Very heavy firing h is hen going nn since

Lternard ti iuee to Fredericksburg. During
the night Gen. Newton's and the dying di
visions =relied upon the txtber side of the
river near to Frderioksburg, and opened a
masked fire on the rebels in the rifle pits.
At the aline time our bitteries from both
sides commenced shellini the guns behind

Gen. Sumner attempted to storm in the De
cember engagement.

4th and Snow's lst.hlaryland batteries hare
unlimbered beyand.the old battle field, and
ure shelling the woods, in whieh the rebel
rearguard are secieted. There is one bat
tery.of small guns likewise in the wnod',
firing oecasioually. All along the arc be
tween the woods and the city are extensive
rifle pits, from behind which .the rebels are
firing. Our musket Ewing is likewise heavy,
the men having advanced some distance
beyond the former battle field.
llstv-pasv SEVEN O'CLOCK.—The rebels
have fled from their rifle pits above Fred
ericksburg and taken refuge in the woods
beyond. They moved off leeurily at first,
but were put to rapid flight by a few of
our shells tossed after them. There are
several batteries planted on the hills this
side of the river, which occasionally fire.
We hope to reach the summit of the bills
before noon. Everything but the reserve
rear guard and the one battery is apparent
gone. A few rebels in the rifle pits, fur
ther to the lift, have just set up a regular
wolf !howl to divert attention in that direc
tion, but we are moving steadily forward a
mid tremendous ,ehear.
SUNDAY MORNING, 8 o'olock.—Barlett's
brigade, Newton's division, consisting of the
121st New YJrk, 16th Now York, 27th and
sth Maine and 96th Pennsylvania, are
charging upon the rebel battery in front of
the Bennet Liouse, led by the 96th Pennsyl
vania. It has fired with cnnsiderable pre
cision, annoying us to a consider able extent.
Fredariokbburg is occupied by Corcoran's
old brigade and the troops of Newton's di-

Nine o'clock A.M.—After a temporary lull
musketry firing has again commenced. W.a

Ten minutes past alas o'clock..—The ar
tillery on both sides have again opened, and
are firing at each other rapidly.
Burk? division bospitsl has moved back

shells bursting near it.
Our troops are well protected behind the

One circumstance srery_efeditOje. ti4Gen*.;
Hooker is the absence of

newspaper correspondents; and of course
partook of their usual ekliggeration. We
shall scarcely, before g 09.4 press, obtain
a correct idea of the situation.-
In addition to the news we give,,the pa
pers of - Friday contain assurances that Gen.
Hooker hay accomplisheil his retreat suc
cessfully. His loss in the entire expedition
is set down at 10,000, killed, wounded and
prisoners, while that of the enemy is sup
posed to be much heavier. We lost eight
guns and captured an equal number from
the enemy. Of course this failure will en
courage the sympathizers in the north in
their opposition to the Government, but we
trust that the very first shadow of resistance
will be so fearfully punished that never
again in all the land will the foul traitors
dare to raise even a voice in favor of this ac
cursed rebellion.
THE BOARD OF ENROLLAIENT.--Tho mem
bers of the Board of Enrollment for the 9th
Military District of Pennsylvania. (being
Lancaster county,) received their commis
sions from the War Department, dating
from the 13th inst. The Beard is consti
tuted as follows:
Capt. A. W.' Bolecius, Provost Marshal
for the District.
Eli Overdeer, Commissioner of the Board
of Enrollment..
The Provost Marshal is President of the
Beard, and the law under which they are
appointed requires them to enter upon their
duties as soon as practicable.
The above are all excellent appcintimente,
and wo doubt not will meet the approbation
of the public.
ELECTION t,F COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
COMMON SCLIOOLS.-A. Convention of the
Soh )ol Directors of Lancaster county met at
the Court louse, in Lancaster, on Monday

Geo. M. Kline muved that a convention to
be composed of one Director from each dis

purpose of considering the heat means of
securing uniformity in text books.
After debate the first M. mday in June

vention adjourned.
TUE TVJENTY-TIIIRD ProrstA.:—We copy
the following mention of the conduct of the
gallant 23rd Regt. P. V. in the storming of
the heights at Fredericksburg, from the cor
respondence of the New York Times. .Just
what our boys would do:
Unfortunately, it so happened that the
Twenty-third Pennsylvania was in line of
battle in the open field, within range of the
rifle pits on the bill. From those pits a
tierce eruption of musketry suddenly broke
forth, and took the Twenty-third by surprise;
but they stood there, bravely and glorious.
ly ; not a man moved a foot. But when the
tire held up for a moment, then this magni
ficent Twenty-third answered it, not with
fire, but with one magnificent cheer.
We are happy to learn that Co. I, came
out without loss.
MerstAirran Suoas.—Sboea are an im

They invariably wear out their shoes at the

other parts are a quarter worn. Children's
shoes with Metal tips never wear oot at the

one pair with theta will more than out-wear
three pair without them. We believe all
the shoe dealers keep them.

Tux 122nd tit TEM LATE BATTLE.—The
Lancaster Express of Wednesday evening
published the following list of casualties in
the 122.1 Regiment. P. V., which is entirely
composed of Lancaster County men, furnish
ed by its special correspondent, Mr. 3. R.
Sypber. There may have been other losses
since, but we have no doubt that the list is
complete up to the time of writing. We
have no intelligence from the 23rd, 61st,
135th and 150th regiments, all of which have
Columbiana in their ranks. Speaking of
the conduct of the 122nd the Express cor
re.pondent says t
The Lancaster boys in the 122nd did no
bly, and covered themselves with glory, and
reflected honor upon the County and State,
Cul. Franklin fought his brigade splendidly
all through. The officers' Posses were kill-
ed early in the action, and all •" went in
on foot.

LATE AND IDIPORTANT FROM
THE RAPPAHANNODIL
Retreat of General Hooker.
TIE RECRO3SES TUE RAPPAHAN
NOCK..
New. YORK, May 7.—The Tribune pub
lished an extra, with dates from the Army
of the Potomac of the Gth, which states that
the army had recrossed the Rappahannook
at the United States and Banks' Fords.
The order for retreat was a surprise, as it
was believed to be the determination to
march out and attack the rebels in front --
The crossing oommenoed at 10 o'clock on
Tuesday night. At 3 o'clock, on Wednes
day, all the wagon and mule trains and ar
tillery bad crossed, and the infantry was
crossing on two bridges at United States
Ford, General Conch's corps in the advance.
The retreat was covered by General Aleade's
sth corps.
The News Confirmed.
WAN:lmmo:e t May 7.—The following ap
pears in the National Intelligenoar this
morns ng:
Official information received at the War
Department last evening authorized us to
state that General Hooker, after waiting in
the rain at Chancellorville, on Tuesday, for
a renewal of the battle by the enemy, re
crossed the Rappahannock on the evening
of that day. influenced by prudential ma
tives; springing. doubtless, 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
apprized, before making this movement, of
the success which is alleged to have attend
ed tho operations of Gen. Stoneman, in
breaking the rebel communications with
Richmond.
If this fact had been known to him, as
suming it to be a fact, it may be doubted
whether Gen. hooker would have deemed
it necessary to take a step which must tend
to deprive him of some at least of the ad
vantages from Gen. &caveman's cu-opera
tive expedition.
Reinforcements aro pressing down to Gen.
Hooker, who will thus outnumber any force
brought against him.
Another Account.
The New -York Herald has issued an ex
tra, containing a letter, dated United States
Ford, May Gth, 8 A. M., saying: --Yester
day morning the trains were all ordered
back to camp, and by dark all the wagons,
extra mules, &c., were at Falmouth.
The wounded wero hastily removed to
Washington, leaving nothing on the other
side but the infantry and artillery. The
rain fell in torrents, washing assay the
bridges and threatening the pontoons. The
river rose rapidly and one of the pontoon
bridges was taken to strengthen the other.
Pine boughs were spread upon the pontoons,
to prevent noise, and at midnight the troops
commenced falling back.
