THE LATEST WAR NEWS.
Tt is positively affirmed that a great battle,
seven hours in duration, was fooght on buu
day at Chaucellorsville, between Gen. Hooker
acd Geo. Lee, in which the Rebels were re
pulsed, with immense losses on both sides, and
the death of several Major Generals ou ours.
We do not vouch for the statement any fur.
ther than to say that it e*aisa to ua from a
source likely to bo well informed, and that
we know of nothiug to make it improbable,
and nothing by way of evidence to contra
dict it. The silence of the Government,which
is quite generally interpreted to indicate boo
news, does not seem to U3 suggestive iu either
way.
A reverse on Saturday was considerably
discassed on Monday. To speak of a reverse
even is using a stronger word than the re
port justified, since it only alleged in sub
stance that the enemy attacked Hooker's line
on Saturday,aud after a severe contest pierced
bis center,handled his right wing rather rough
ly, and compelled him to reconstruct his lines
during the Digbt. It may be pre
sumed that nothing less than a general'attack
could accomplish so much as this, and if a
general attack accomplished no more, the
eventual defeat of Lee's army may be deemed
certain. But to this account we attach little
or no importance. It is quite possible—it is
no more than probable —that there was fight
ing at Chancellorsville on Saturday, but in
the absence of authoritative statements, we
do not suppose it to have been a general en
gagement.
On the left, below Fredericksburg, there
was a decisive movement. Geu. Sedgwick
crossed bis whole corps, drove the Rebel pick
ets before him, advanced by a ravine, occu
pied Fredericksburg, and subsequently took
the first line of redoubts in rear of the town.
This was accomplished iu obedience to a tele
graphed order from Gen. Ilooker at Chancel
lorsville, which late on Saturday afternoou
announced an appearance of the retreat of the
enemy in frout of him. That telegram is quite
sufficient to show that he had sustained no re
verse at that time, yet the report above refer
red to date the disaster on Saturday. More
over, the Ist Corps, under Gen. Reynolds,
moved leisurely and ostentatiously np the
Rappahannock on Saturday, to Backs' Ford t
in order to induce the enemy to march out
iris forces from Fredericksburg—of course to
the rebel position at Chancellorsville. Now
if Geneva! Ilooker were hard pressed on Sat
urday, be would iu the first place have order
ed Reynolds's corps rapidly np, aud, iu the
second place, its movement would not have
been displayed to the enemy for the purpose
of tempting him to send more forces against a
position already threatened.
We have assurance/rom three points that
Gen. Stoneman has been successful in cutting
the enemy's communications by rail with Rich
mond, and we see no reason to doubt the feet.
If it be a fact, it will go far to dispel all un
certainty as to the success of the whole grand
movement of Gen. Hooker. For it must lie
remembered that Lee depended on his supplies
from Richmond on that line, and can receive
them on no other. If it were possible to trans
port them on the Gardonsville road—if there
were any means of doing it in any way—it can
be of no avail, because Ilooker holds that
road at Chancellorsville. ljt Lee lias ueither
•wagons nor horses enough to feed his army,
nor cau it be supposed that he had any con
6iderable amount of supplies on hand near
Fredericksburg. The commissariat of his cr
ray has been bard pressed to keep his meu fed
from Uichmoud. Nothing can have accumu
lated in camp. Among the rumors in Wash
ington is one that a dispatch from Gen. Lee
bad been intercepted, iu which he stated that
be was surrounded and without supplies.
It that General Lee must
fight or starve. Gen. Hooker knowing the
railway is cut, might wait at Chancellorsville
till famine forced Lee out of his trenchers in
the hope to defeat the national forces and so
recover his communications. Lee, however,
did not wait till he was forced, but, like the
brave commander he has SIIOWD himself to be,
marched at once to Chancellorsville,and flung
himself against Hooker's lines. It is hardly
to be doubted that bis whole army was hold
ing the Rappahannock line when Hooker
crossed it, and had not, as yesterday seemed
possible, fallen back to North Anna. In
these circumstances, delay is nil in Hooker's
favor. He has been deemed an impetuous
leader. Mark the consuinato judgment and
coolness with which he halted after concentra
ting his forces south of the river, and await
the attack which he knew his outgeneraled
enemy was compelled to make. He need not
hasten to assume the offensive. Let Lee dash
against those veteran lines till he has worn out
his own forces with the persistence and des
peration of his effort. While ou his side vic
tory is to the preservation—even
to the existence of his army, General Hooker
has only to hold his own. Not to be defeat
ed is for him a victory.
Neither, therefore, in the news which we
have received by mail, nor in the sileuce which
the Government preserves, nor in the relative
positions of the two forces, do we find cause
for other than confident expectation of de
cisive success. It may be presumed there luu
been heavy work, the result of which we do
not know ; but we regard it as very probable
that the general engagement may have been
postponed, or that if a serious battle has taken
place, the news is only withheld because Gen.
Hooker did not choose, in the circnmstauces
explained above, to coavert a repulse of the
enemy into an immediate rout. In common
with the nation, whose pulses leap with ex
pectation, we regret that it is deemed wise to
suppress whatever truth is know, but we ven
ture to expect authentic intelligence at an ear
ly hour from other sorces than the telegraphic
wires.
Wheeling papers, of Saturday, make
the situation in West Virginia on Friday
about thus: That Jones (Rebel) had got his
forces as far 89 Bridgeport, on the North
Western Virginia road, which is seventeen
miles from Grafton, and about five miles from
Clarksburg; that he was there attempting to
form a juuction with Iraboden and Jack
son, preparatory to a combined attack on
Clarksburg. The aggregate strength of the
Rebel commanders i 3 variously estimated at
10,000 and 15,000. Undoubtedly it is much
larger than heretofore reported. From Pitts
burg we have some particulars of the defeat
of Col. Mulligan at Fairmount yn Tuesday
last. It appears that the Colonel attacked a
small force under the Rebel leader Jones, and
was getting the better of him when the enemy
was re-enforced by two strong columns ap
proaching in different directions, and under
the concentrated lire, our troops were com
pelled to give way. One of the columns un
der Imboden came dowo byway of the Ev
ansvilie Pike, and the other, under Herman,
byway of Indian Creek, so that Mulligan's
little force was neatly surrounded. lie fought
from 11 till 4 o'clock, however, and only re- j
treaten when fairly overpowered by the ene
my, who had fully 20,000 men in the fight.
In view of the danger of Pat kersburg, Colonel
D. Wood had declared Wood county under
martial law.
figy- From Rebel sources mainly we have
important news from the South-West. Gen.
Dodge has gone 11 miles beyond Tuscumhia,
and on the 29th was fighting the Ilebt-1 Gen.
Forrest. Dodge took possession of Courtland,
.Ala., on the 26th. Dispatches from Jack
son, Miss., of the 29th say that Gen. Grant
was at Union Church, on the Natchez and
Ilazelhurst read—near by east from Natchez.
A train of transports had reached Ilazelhurst,
and it was supposed that the Unionists were
about to attack Natchez. Light-draught
boats were moving up the Yazoo river, for
what purpose is not stated. Gen. Banks had
taken Alexandria, the principal town of Rap
ides Parish, La, oa the Red river. Another
Rebel dispatch from Jackson says that a com
munication with Grand Gulf had been re-es
tablished ; that after six hours canonading at
Grand Gulf, the Union gunboats withdrew.
The boats fired 3,000 shots ; only three Reb
els were killed, one of them a colonel, and 22
wounded. Two gunboats were apparently dis
abled. The boat was three miles below on
the west side. Union forces were on the Louis
ana shore opposite Grand Gulf.
We have information from Little
Rock, Ark, that the returu of Gen. Sterling
Price to the command of the trans Mississppi
Rebel Department is infusing some life into it.
Many of the soldiers who left Hindman in dis
gust ure rallying to the standard of Price,
whose undeniable ability, manifested iu his
Missouri and Arkansas campaigns, renders
him the most popular leader with the Rebels
of that region. lie will probably give the
National troops some trouble. The enemy
west of the Mississippi have been whipped too
many times to become very formidable again ;
but be is uow gaining important aid from
abroad.
Thirty thousand foreign muskets were recent
ly received at Matamoras for the use of the
Rebels west of the Mississippi. Three or four
thousand have already reached Price at Lit
lie Iloek, and the remainder are on the way
to him, overland, through Texas and the In
dian Territory. The immense contraband
traffic between the Rebels aud Matamoras
shows the importance of our holding the Rio
Grande ?r'm El Paso to its mouth, which
could be done by a small force. The block
ade will never be complete without it.
Ou Saturday a Copperhead riot occur
red at Centreville, Ind. Two weeks before a
man came to the place wearing a Butternut
breastpiu. The sheriff took the obnoxious
breastpin from him. The man's friends gath
ered at Abington on Saturday and visited
Centreville for the purpose of punishiug the
sheriff. The friends of the latter got the bet
ter of the rioters and dispersed them. Being
reinforced, they made a second attack on the
town in the afternoon, shouting for Jeff Da
vis as they rode in. The Union people over
powered them and captured 27, who are now
| iu jail, chargad with disturbing the peace and
I campiug with arms in their hands.
THE LANCASHIRE OPERATIVES.—A move
ment is going on in England to assist the Lan
cashire operatives to emigrate. It is believed
that there will not be a full supply of cotton
for some lime to come, and that it would be
better to reduce the sarplas of labor. The
Spectator says that " three millions sterling
would perhaps enable in to export a hundred
thousand persons, and so get rid of the worst
of the pressure;" and other journals, as well as
1 such writers as Rev. Charles Kingsley aod
Rev. Sydney Goldolphin Osborne, urge that
both private aud public charity 6hould be de
voted freely to this object.
Republican County Convention,
The Republican County Convention met at
the Court House in Towanda, May 4, 18G3,
and was called to order by electing L. P.
STALFORD, President, and JOHN BEARDS
LEE and A G. MATTHEWS, Secretaries.
On motion, the Convention proceeded to
nominate candidates for Delegates to the
State Convention to be held at Pittsburg,
July 1, 18G3.
Geo. Landon, John A. Codding, M. C.
Mercur, and Dummer Lilly, were nominated.
On calling names of Delegates, M. C. MER
CUR and GEO. LANDON, receiving a majority of
all the votes, was duly declared elected as Del
egates to the State Convention.
On motion, James Fee, P. 11. Back, John
A. Codding, L. P. Stalford, and James H.
Webb, were elected, by acclamation, Confer
ess for the Senatorial District, with instruc
tions to support lion. G. A. GROW, as Sena
torial Delegate.
On motion, J. B. lline3, E. R. DeLong,
Cyrus Cook, F. C. Overton, and G. D. Mon
tanye were appointed a Committee to prepare
and report Resolutions.
Resolved, That we look upon the leading measures of
the National Administration, as embodied in the Presi
dents Emancipation Proclamation, and the legislation ot
Congress, as eminently wise and proper and adapted to
meet the great and pressing emergencies ot the times.
That we cannot consider those as entirely loyal who
would render nugatory the one, nor embarrass the
prompt and cordial execution of the other. That we con
.sider a hearty and cordial co operation with the consti
tuted authorities as highly essential to success, and that
we reprehend that fauli finding and captious disposition
which overlooks that great crime which has deluged our
country with blond, and environed us with so many per
ils. to carp at minor points of difference, as little short
of treason, and calculated to embarrass the successful
termination of the war, and afford " aid audconitort to
the rebellion.
Resolved, That as the Rebellion is the legitimate fruit
and consequence of that relic ot barbarism, slavery—that
as it has beeu concieved. commenced and curried on lor
the sole purpose of strengthening and perpetuating the
institution of slavery—that as the Constitution has been
violated, and the government rebelled against, for the
same unholy purpose. That as all our present troubles
are directly traceable to the determination to make .Sla
very— not Freedom—poramouut, it becomes a privilege
as well as a duty and necessity, that future generations
should have a guarantee against the recurrence of the
evils which have fallen upon us, and under which we tiow
suffer.
Res Iced. That wc believe the success of the candi
dates to be placed in nomination at Pittsburg, on the Ist
of July, to be of the highest importance, in sustaining
the Government. That we invite the political co-opera
tion of all those who are ready to support these candi
dates, as calculated to advance the best interests ot the
country.
Resolved. That our brave soldiers in the field are wor
thy of a nation's highest gratitude and respect. That we
tender our heartiest sympathies to tlr.se who have come
home alter shedding their Mocd for their country, or
who languish from disease contracted in the service—
The dead, who
" Sink to rest
With all their country's wishes blest."
and their relatives, deserve and receive the nation's grate
ful remembrance.
Resolved. That the present condition of the country
demands that loyal men shall unite in a common purpose
and effort to put down the rebellion, which has already
wasted so much ol the Mood and treasure of the tuition.
That the call of the Union State Convention is eminently
wise and proper,and we respond to it as we have already
responded to every effort to unite the loyal men of the
country upon a common platform, in support of men and
measures which shall strengthen the Government in its
effort for the suppression o! the rel ellion.
Resolved, That our Senators and Representatives in
the State Legislature have faithfully represented the
wishes of their constituents, and are entitled to the cred
it uf having ably and diligently performed their duty.
On motion, the Convention then adjourned
(Signed by the Officers.)
MR. EDITOR :—I notice with surprise that
a large number of copies of a news paper
headed the Patriot ami Union , are now in
circulation at Towanda. The paper is one
of the worst traitorous publications in the Un
ion. In that sheet every prominent Union
man North and South receives unmeasured
abuse, nhile not one word is utterred against
those who are in open rebellion, in open war
on our government, and doing all they can to
ruin the country. No lover of his country
should receive such a sheet, or place it in Lis
family. No man can read such a production
with any complacency or even patience, unless
he is tainted with treason.
The last week's sheet of this publication
abuses the llou. DANIEL S. DICKINSON, of
New York state, for turning re. .j-:de and de
serting John C. Breckbride, aud for his ap
pearing before the public ornamented with a
badge. DANIEL S. DICKINSON is an honor to
his country. It is true he made otic sad mis
take iu supporting that treble traitor, J. C.
Breckinridge—a traitor to his GOD, his coun
try, and to his own State. But Mr. DICKIN
SON makes dire amends for this mistake, and
uses all his powers in support of cur Govern
inent. lie appeared bt'tore an audience in
New York with the emblems of our nationali
ty on his person, and he spoke as a patriot
who loved the flag lie bore on h;3 person. The
flag of the Union is hated by oil traitors, and
it must be expected that they will abue such
men as DANIEL S. DICKINSON for wearing such
an emblem. Look at the abase heaped upon
him ; " The renegade Daniel S. Dickinson,"
"this miserable trimmer," "infidelity to par
ty." A renegade, a trimmer, and an infidel
to party, bpcause he made speeches in 1860 in
favor of J. C Breckinridge, and is now where
he always professed to lie, a lover of our coun
try. John C. Breckinridge, and his contempt
ible advocates, are the renegades—the miser
able creatures who abandoned their principles
and are now engaged in the ranks of the
Southern rebellion ; or, if possible, more mean
ly assisting them, by word and pen in the
North. I say, fearlessly, that handling such
a dirty sheet as I have exposed, is tampering
with treason.

HORRIBLE MCRDF.R —On Friday last, Mr.
Lory Chase, of Abington, was shot and in
stantly killed, while sitting by the window in
his owu house. Chase was ttied last year and
ncqu'tted of the murder of his neighbor, a Mr.
Wood, who was found hanging by the suspen
ders. Recently there has beeu a difficulty be
tween younger Woods and a female servant of
Chase's, supposed to be instigated by her cm
! ploytr, and a letter was fouud nailed to his
barn, declaring that unless she settled it,
Chase should not live twenty days, and the
time bad about expired.
The murderer is uot known. The shot was
so near that pieces of window glass were
blown into hid fac e.—Record of the Timet,

MR. EDITOR :—The editor of the Argus
adopts an article from the flippant editor of
the Montour American, in answer to my re
marks in your paper two weeks ago. From
the whole tone of the article of the Montour
American, copied into the Argus, I supposed
the paper a secession sheet, but the editor of
the Argus endorses the loyalty of Mr. BROW
ER, and adopts his sentiments. I did think
the abuse of Governor CURTIN and the ap
plause of Mr. HOPKINS, proof of disloyal feel
ings. We are in a desperate war with u des
perate enemy. In such a struggle, I discard
all side issues and matters of minor impor
tance. Every prominent actor in the defence
of our country, it appears, must receive a cer
tain, or rathefj a very uncertain amount of
abuse. Goveruor CURTIN has done more to
sustain the war than any other Governor iu
the Union, and ought to have, at least, es
caped abuse from parties, claiming to be loyal.
I will say, explicitly, that I never wrote or
used the argument the editor of the Montour
American attributes to inc. I never said Mr.
TRACY was responsible for Mr. HOPKINS' opin
ions on the war, politics and every thing else.
I never said that Governor CUUTIN'S efforts
in behalf of the Union justified him iu any
other acts of his administration.
Again : the editor's reference to Mr. LA
PORTE'S vote, is his owu supposition, and I
leave it with him to handle in his own way.
1 said nothing about it. i thiuk association
with Mr. HOPKINS in politics is dangerous. I
do not, however, intend to be drawn into ir
revalant or side issues ; but I object to any
man making arguments for me, and then refu
ting them to his own satisfaction. The aba
sive epithets of the article I care nothing
about. The editors who use them, give proof
positive that they cannot reason, or they wott'd
not resort to vulgarisms, such as " braying
donkies," " ass," " dead cock," &e. Such ex
pressions only show a want of good breeding,
and a contempt for decency.
Mr. Editor, I will now say that I agree with
you in what you say relative to Mr. TRACY'S
position as a Member of Congress. Tite pub
tic have a right to ask Li in for an explanation,
and they will expect a full, fair and explicit
avowal of his principles, and the coarse he in
tends to pursue. This explanation all parties
are entitled to. Mr. TRACY has no tight to
take offence at such a request. He is now u
member of the most important brand of our
national Legislature. Far be it from me to
say a word to hurt the feelings of Mr. TRACY.
He is bt th a ready writer and speaker, ami
he is, on ordinary occasions, not backward in
doing either. I will show your readers why
this explanation should be promptly made at
this time. The enemies of our Administration
have heretofore claimed Mr. HAI.S and Mr
TRACY, as elected by, and belonging to their
partv, and with those voles, they expected to
i. ' to destroy our Government, or in their
' \ n > it'ds, to 'rase the tyranny of Mr. LIN
COLN to the ground." Mr. HALE has, howev
er, come out nobly in support of our Govern
ment, and disappointed the expectations of the
traitors, and they now cling to TRACY as their
last hope. The editors of the Putrid
and Union, iu a late number of that paper,
expresses doubts about TRACY'S supporting the
secession party "on all vital measures." Un
der such circumstances, I think onr Member
elect to Congress, ought to define Lis position.
I will not insult him by saying that I have a
donbt about bis open and honorable support
of Mr. LI NCOLN'S Administration.

THREATENED INVASION —The south wester:)
border of Pennsylvania has beeu thrown into
considerable commotion by the report of an
extensive rebel raid. The rumor was that
8,000 were on the advance to Union town,
under the command of those notorious guerril
la chiefs luibodeu and Jenkins. It was said
they had destroyed the track of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad and were even threatening
Wheeling. Then the banks shipped their spe
cie to Wheeling and many of the citizens
made preparations to leave. But subsequent
dispatches have dwindled down the invasion
to a guerrilla raid, some 1200 or 1500 strong,
in pursuit of stock and provisions. Col. Mul
ligan, of Springfield fame, gave them a sharp
resistance at I'hillippi, and Col. Latham ut
Buckhannon.
i, By the arrival of the Etna, from Liv
erpool, April 22, and Queenstown, April 23,
we have four days later news from Europe.
The English Government has declared its in
tention to prosecute the builders of the Rebel
pirate Alexandta. The organs of the English
aristocracy threaten again with new schemes
of an English and French interference i the
American war. The uneasiness in Europe
about the Polish question is steadily increas
ing, and the belief is gaining ground that it
will lead to a general war. It is thought that
first Swedeu will be drawn into it, and that
trie war will soon assnme larger dimensions.
Ail offensive and defensive alliance between
France and Sweden is already talked of. The
throne of Greece has been formally accepted
by Prince William of Denmark.
