Reported Occupation of Fredericks burg—Fifteen Hundred Rebels Captured— AHattie Imminent. CSpecial Correspondence of The Press. 1 • V Acqijia Creek, April 30. | THE MOVEMENT COMMENCED. You have been apprised by telegraph that our ar my is in motion once more toward the rebel capital. I have not yet had time to proceed to the-front,-to obtain the fullest information; but, through officers arriving here cn route t'or Washington, I have col_ lected pretty full details of the movement, which may'now be published, I think, without detriment to the interests of the Government. THE PRELI MIN ARIES; The commanding general has been in possess sion;of information for’ some time past,, lead ing to A thorough understanding of the designs of the enemy in his recent movements in Virginia and. North Carolina. It "seems., that the rebels are fully aware of their vulnerable position about Richmond' from contemplated movements upon their communi cations by our forees at Newbern and Suffolk, and as these movements could not be checked by the rebels whilst Gep. Hooker threatened Richmond, it seemed to be'an imperative necessity for them to dislodge our detached corps in. Virginia and North Carolina. To. this end; Gen. Hill was ordered to move upon Foster at Washington and Newbern, N. C., while Longstreet wasto recapture Suffolk and Norfolk, if possible, and Henry A. Wi3e was directed to remove- Gen. Keyes from the Peninsula. Hill found his match in North Carolina, and was ordered to join Longstreet before Suffolk. The Nausetnond river is now blockaded by rebel batteries with infan try, hovered by redoubts, and the position is consi dered so interesting as to require the presence of the' Commander-iii-Chief at that point. • 1 'ADVANCE OF /G-FN, HOOKER. It that the only sure method of reliev ing our troops.now-besieged- at Suffolk was found in a direct advance of the Army of the Potomac to ward Kiohmond. The details for this movement have! been arranged for different propitious days for some time past, but. owing to the wet weather and the horrible condition of the roads, it has beenfound impossible to move our army without incurring great risks and losses. On Tuesday last, however, it was determined to crosß the river in two columns —the one above Falmouth, on the road to Culpeper, to consist of cavalry, light infantry, artillery,'.engi neers, and artisans, under Gen. Stoneman—the other to consist of the main body of our army under the immediate supervision of the commanding general : LAYING THE PONTOONS.' On Monday night, our engineers made a selection for ft point at which our pontoon bridges could be laid in Bftfety, and the work of their construction was immediately commenced, and carried on with out serious interruption. On Tuesday morning, two bridgeß were completed, and General Meade’s army corps prepared to cross the river. THE FIRST MEN OVER. I api informed that the'first regiment of Union troops to eross the Rappahannock river on this oc casioh.was the gallant 119th Pennsylvania Volun teers, Upon arriving on the south Bank of the stream, they were at once deploy ed to the right and left through the wooded skirtings of farms to observe the movements of the enemy. In this advance the colonel of the regiment received a second honorable wound, which it is said will not prove a serious one. Before night on Tuesday five pontoon bridges had been completed, and our entire army was crossing. V THE REBELS WITHDRAWN. As our'troops advanced, during:yesterday, the rebels fell back, skirmishing with our advance guard;: :It.was soon discovered that the enemy had withdrawn his main column from the line of the Rapphhannock, and. contrabands informed General Hooker positively, that there were no troops, in great force, anywhere in our front, for a distance of twenty miles south. r THE MATAPONY RIVER. PaHing -back through the vale of the Matapony, the enemy destroyed the bridges over this stream and its .trihutarifes, but did not appear disposed to dis pute our continued advance very stoutly. During large number of prisoners were cap* %Ufe4jbut'they consist, most part, of men who could not keep r ’up with theirTellowsin the re treat, and dropped along the roads and by-paths from sheer weakness. THE ADVANCE A SUCCESS. I learn that Gen. Hooker and staff crossed the river yesterday, and that to-day our troops are marching forward, driving the rebels back from every point-as they proceed. There has been no heavy fighting yet, and no cannonade, except the filing of shells at the enemy occasionally, to dis coverhis whereabouts. - THE NATURE OP THE NEWS. Every one here seems delighted with, the news from the advance, and predicts great and decisive vic tory for General Hooker and hia excellent army. The Government officers are especially good-na tured, and seem to think that the people will take this as another proof of the ,determination and abil ity of our rulers to push on rapidly toward Rich mond. •> OCCUPATION OF FREDERICKSBURG. It is reported that the city of Fredericksburg was occupied yesterday with a strong under the direction of Provost Marshal General Patrick, and the railroad to Richmond is being rapidly re paired. It is also believed that Porfßoyal, on the Rappahannock, has been occupied by our troops, and will be used as a landing for Btores. THE PROSPECTS. It is not thought that General Hooker will ad vance much further, south just at present. I will not say why, because it iB-unnecessary to allow the enemy to obtain any. idea of our future movements. Communication with another corpß of our army will be opened in a few day b a when the real merits of the present grand movement will begin to develop themselves, and some discoveries may be made that "will'surprise the public considerably. Thus far, fortune has certainly favored our. arms in this movement. Our troops have been engaged in skirmishing all day,butnobattlehas taken place, and it is thought that our. losses have been.elight. We are entirely prepared for the enemy, and when the great battle is fought, we shall be the victors, especially if we are attacked by the enemy in the progress of our advance. MOVEMENT OF THE .RIGHT WING, General Stoneman’s light division has advanced to Culpeper. The railroad: has'been repaired, and Government trains are running to that point. The reports from this column are encouraging, and we hear nothing of the complaints of inefficiency in any particular, so common in other campaigns. PRISONERS TAKEN. Some fifteen hundred rebels-were captured yester day, it is said, in the rifle pits beyond Fredericks burg. About three hundred have been sent to Wash ington for examination, as they express a desire to take the oath of allegiance to the Government of the United States. CONDITION OF THE ARMY. The Army of the Potomac' ia in. excellent con- and the health and spirit of the troops are good. The men have unbounded confidence in their present leaders, and are quite good-humored over the prospect of a great victory over the rebelß on Sunday next, not a hundred miles from Richmond. . . . • • WAL. Four Army Corps Across tlic River—A Vic tory Rumored—News Expected Sliortly. Pontoons are said to have been laid on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning across the river at Port Royal. Thursday morning, at daylight, the troops began to cross, and by ten o’clock A. M. four corps d'armSe ar* said to have crossed in safety at Port Royal: Cannonading and severe firing have been heard on this side of the river. Later, there is a report that Hooker, with 50,000 men, had won a battle. This is, of course, uncer tain, but we shall have news before long. ORDER FROM GEN. REYNOLDS. . ' Headquarters, First Army Corps, ' April 24,1863. The commanding general takes occasioa to thank the 24th Michigan, and . Brooklyn 14th regiments, under Colonels Morrow and Fowler, for the prompt manner- in which they accomplished the object of the expedition to Port Royal. The endurance, shownl>y their march of nearly thirty* Bix miles in twenty-four hours, during the very inclement weather of yesterday, proveß their value as tried and experienced soldiers, and entitles them to the high est admiration and praise. By command of Major General REYNOLDS. C. KiNGSiuma, Jr., Lieut. Col., and A. A. G-. RETURN OF GEN. STAHL. Fairfax Court House, Ya., April 30. An expedition,’under the command of General Stahl, which left here on Monday, the’27th‘instant— the men provided with cooked rations for five days —returned early this morning. The object of the expedition was to -patrol the country to the west of the Shenandoah, .which was successfully accomplished. Several skirmishes took place between thiß force and Mosfcy’s rebel command, which resulted in the capture of forty rebels, and one hundred horses. NARROW ESCAPE OF COL. TAYLOR, OF THE FIRST PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY, FROM GUERILLAS. Left Wikg, April 27, 1863.—Colonel Taylor, of the Ist Pennsylvania Cavalry, was attacked by a party of guerillas last night, and had a narrow escape. Being officer of the picket line extending down the Rappahannock; Dear Port Conway, he was riding out, accompanied by six men, for the purpose o! inspecting the pickets, when a band of some thirty guerillas suddenly fired r and. then charged upon them, killing one horse, capturing one prison er^Aßd Bbooting the Colonel’s hat away. -The men immediately put spurs to their horses, and succeeded in penetrating a dense forest, where they remained concealed till this morning, the. pursuing party at one time coming within thirty feet of them. Colonel Taylor made his way back to Falmouth this morn ing, and.was arrested- by our infantry pickets, and conducted to Major Plainer, of the 33d New York. The orderly who brought him in was a detached man from his own regiment. Of course he was im mediately released. False Statements. Baltimore, May l.—The statement that the Go vernment has purchased a large tract of land of the Canton Company of Baltimore, for. an arsenal, and that the Northern Central Pennsylvania Railroad Company have purchased of the same oompaay a portion of their real estate in East Baltimore, are alike untrue.

The crew of the Chillicothe have mostly all been sent to the general hospital, lately removed from this place to Memphis, in consequence of drugue, or break-bone, fever, contracted on the Coldwater and Tallahatchie rivers, in the Yazoo Paes expedition. Many of the seamen of the { ( tin-clads” hare also con tracted the same disease. The crew of the Baron De Kalb have not as yet contracted it extensively, because she was not so Active a participant in the expedition. The troops of General Ross have also suffered greatly from the Same disease. It is not a very dangerous disease, but is a very troublesome one, and there is no better treatment for it than to let it run its course, feeding it when the patient feels hungry. It is an established fact that the do nothing plan of treating typhoid fever, save the sus taining the system with beef-tea and wine, is the only one, and so of drugue. Both will run their course. We who have to treat ship fever, and camp fever, know that as long as our patients will eat they are in no danger. Very little medicine is re quired for moat of the fevers known as typhoid, typhus, &c. The very large, and strong, and new-planned-gun boat Choctaw Bailed from here, some two days ago, for. Admiral Porter’s fleet, below Vicksburg. If, however, the news from that locality be true, she' will not have much to do $ for it seemß by all to be a conceded point that Vicksburg, if not already cap tured, will be evacuated or capitulate in a short time. Most of Admiral Porter’s fleet are below the city, while a very large portion of General Grant’s army are at Carthage. With Porter - below .them, and Farragut above Port Hudson, and with our large land forces above and below Vicksburg, and General . Backs’ and to the rear of Port Hudson, it is not eaßy to conceive ho w the rebels can hold out much longer. High , waters have been our worst drawback. '.We have reliable information from Memphis that, - notwithstanding our troops fell back to within a distance of nine miles, we there outflanked General Loring’s command, and, after giving them a good drubbing, succeeded in taking seven hundred prisoners, besides commissary storeß, &c., &c., as well as the usual amount of negroes, made and pro vided in such cases, and who-Will be just in time to join and be drilled in some of the sable regiments that Adjutant General Thomas is having organized. It iB a mistake that we are going to have a large force of negro soldiers in Grant’s army, and for the best reason in the world, viz., they are not here, having been run back -irom the delta and coaßt to the interior of the States along the Mississippi river. The regiment there was formed at Helena, had to be run down and impressed, and, then, there was no examination of them by a medical board, but they were taken of all ages, sizes, and colors, and without much regai d to their physique. The hews from Oape Girardeau, in Missouri, and distant from Cairo about fifty miles, is that the rebels are concentrating on the Cape from Arkansas, and purpose defeating our forces at that point. The rebel force iB said to be seven thousand. Cape Gi rardeau has been reinforced by General McNeil, and it is thought that Captain J. P. Foster, of the navy, will come down from St. Louis, with a United States gunboat. The United States gunboat Little Rebel went up there last night. "We have no appre hensions about the Cape, nor never did we have about Memphis, knowing that the two attacks were but diversions to withdraw a portion of our troops from before Vicksburg. Never before since the rebellion have things pre sented so-fair a prospeet of a Bpeedy and permanent peace as now. F. ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND. [Special Correspondence of The Press.] Camp at Fort Griscom, Moscow, Tenn., - April 5, 1863. ANOTHER REBUKE TO DISLOYALISTS AT . A meeting of the commissioned officers of the 97th Indiana infantry, at this camp, adopted strong war resolutions, from which the following earnest sen tences are extracted. The resolutions were signed by all the officers, and approved by all the men of this gallant regiment: Resolved, That we have heard, with amazement and indignation, of the boldness and baseness* of the Secession sympathizers of the North, in their at tempts to destroy that Constitution and Union which makes us one of the nations of the earth, and the laws that secure to.u's all our rights of property, and personal safety, and of their encouragement of the murderers of the generous-hearted men who have left home, family, friends, and comfort, and volunteered to meet-toil; hardships,^wounds, add. death, in defence of our country, and those idgrates who would devote their own children to* endless slavery and vexation, that they might gratify a sel fish and unnatural appetite for eating dirt in the presence of a few proud and ignorant slavelords, whom they have, with true pagan idolatry, magni fied into demigods. Resolved, That we have no compromise to offer, no armistice to grant traitors, in or out of arms. No thing but immediate, unconditional submission to the Federal Constitution and Laws. Resolved, That each day, in the service of our coun try, only increases our love and adoration for its liberal, enlightened, and progressive institutions, unequalled since the dawn of history, and that we will stand by the stars and stripes, until, from the copper mines of Lake Superior, to the cane-fields of the Mexican gulf, from the canvas-whitened ports of the Atlantic, to the golden sands of the Pacific, no hand dare raise against it—or until we find bloody graves beneath its waving folds. Resolved, That' while we deplore the present civil war, yet as long as-brigands : and buccaneers are anxiouß to strike at order and justice, so long.we de light to fight; and that the land of cotton and rice has, ever since the days of Old Hickory, been a pes tiferous Bwamp, fertile in political miasmas and de structive dogmas,.and; that we are willing to take the job of effectually cleaning it up, and making it fit for healthy, peaceable, civilized habitation. DEPARTMENT OF THE OHIO. SKIRMISHING IN KENTUCKY. Cincinnati, April. 30.— A despatch dated Somer set, April 29, says Captain Alexander, with sixty picked men, and Wolford’s cavalry, crossed the Cumberland, at Howe’s ford, oh the 28fch, and com menced skirmishing with the enemy. Later in the' day, Lieutenant Colonel Adams, with 300 men, fol lowed. The combined forces advanced to Steuben ville, where Chenault’s cavalry were drawn up, but they broke when a charge was made, and fled in con fusion. Considerable other skirmishing occurred in the same vicinity, with unimportant results. Some prisoners were taken "on Saturday. A de tachment of the sth Indiana and 14fch Illinois Caval ry captured 23 rebels and 38 horses, near Jimfown, Ky.,on the 29th. ARREST FOR TREASON. ‘ Cincinnati, April 30.— Dr. N. J.

Shipping lists are now open for the new light-draught gunboats Clifton and Kenwood. REPUBLIC OF MEXICO. The Campaign In Mexico—A Spanish Ac The Epoca of Madrid, of April 13, publishes the fol lowing letter from Vera Cruz: Comonfort and Ortega do not agree. The cause of their dissension is that President Juarez has placed .Comonfort under the orders, of Gonzales Ortega. Generals Traconis, Parte Arroyo, Iglesias, Barreiro, and Parra have been cashiered. Parra has been con fined in the island of Los Caballos. The reason of these measures is a'plot which has been discovered in favor. of Comonfort. The reactionist Arquelles has entered Mexico at the head of three hundred horse, and arrived as far as , the Place de Guardiola, about one kilometre from the palace of the Govern ment, where he disarmed a corps de garde. Zaca tecas, Aguaß Calientes, Lagol San Pedro and San. Juan del Rio are in the possession of the reactionists. General Doblado is besieged in Guada lajara. The whole territory of Guanajuato and Nichoagan are in the hands ofMeji. General Almonte has left Orizaba, with General Forey, for Q,uecholac, where the commander-in-chief intends establishing his headquarters. The army which is before Puebla, and which extends from Huamanta to Nopalucan, Quecholac, Aculcingo, and Teca machulea, numbers 21,500 bayonets and 4,600 cavalry. General Bazaine, who is at Nopalucan, has received orders to descend byTiascala into the valley San Martin, an d, until he has taken up a position at Ocotlan and Cholula, so as to cut off the retreat of the enemy, General Forev, with the main body, will continue to menace Puebla. That city cannot resist long. The garrison only numbers 10,000 good troops; the others. are raw recruits, who will desert at the first opportunity. All the notable families have left Puebla; Los Fwob have gone to Mexico, and the reactionists to Cholula. The battalion of Turcos, attached to the escort of General Forey, has arrived at Orizaba. At Perote the fort is occupied by a French company, And two hundred natives from Zucapoascla, who are greater devils-than the Turcos themselves to fight. LATER. Tile French Driven out of Puebla at Bayo-' net-point —Severe Figlitlng and Great Slaughter* San Francisco, May I.—The German Democrat of this ; city publishes a letter dated sixty mileß southeast of Acapulco, Mexico, April 15th, giving, the following highly important later news from. Puebla. The letter says: “An express from, the city of Mexico, on the 9th of April, hasjußt arrived; On the 6th and 6th of April, the French, after severe fighting and great slaughter, succeeded in retaining a portion of Puebla. On the 7th of April, the Mexi cans repulsed them with still greater slaughter, driving them at the point of the bayonet beyond: the outposts of the oity. “ The French then retired to Cholula, seven miles from where they were fortifying them selves.” There is no means of knowing whether tliis news comeß from a reliable source. ■ The bark Amazon has sailed for Hong Kong.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MOSEY MARKET. Philadelphia, May 1,1863. The impression seems to be very general that gold has found iis true value. The steadiness of the market fox' a week past, daring which time good and bad news of an exciting nature have failed to move the market ma terially, is taken as an argument that 150 is the value of sold in currency. The knowledge that Geh. Hooker ‘ was moving on the Rappahannock, - coupled with fears for his suc< ess, and the late reverse at Charleston, has had the effect of keeping gold from declining, while the enormous success of the five-twenty loan had the oppo site effect, and prevented, an advance. Bat when the news is verified that a great’victory has been won at Fredericksburg, and the result of to-day’s'subscriotions to the five- twenties is announced, we : shall see how far. these theorists were right. All tlie gloom of desponding war-critics, coupled with powerful bull interests in Third ana Wall streets, have failed to produce an ad vance movement in gold, and a considerable fall may be expected if victory is vouchsafed to us in Virginia. The promise of quick and deathly blows from Rosejrans and Giant, and those now falling from the hand of General Banks, will settle the question as to the value of gold - Business was active on the street to-day. Gold ranged at 153@151K; steady. Government securities are in large demand. Money is becoming a perfect drug, and goed hr rrowera are naming their own rates. The brilliancy of the day’s sun has been wfll reflected in tils figures o? the subscriptions to the five-twenty loan, which'footed up at 4 P.
