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.

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.

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 last purchase made by the Rail
road Company of the Canton Company, datoa as tar
back as 1663 and 1854.

Our Prospect Better than* Ever,
[Special Correspondence of The Press.]
Mississippi Sciuadrc-h, Gfcmo, April 26.
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.

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.

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

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.

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 -

The New York Evening Post of to-day says*/ "• •
It tea very gratifying evidence of the generally sound
condition of the. market, that* although, on the whole,
prices are augmenting, still the rising flood is continual*
ly checked by a temporary ebb, and the tide of specula
tion seldom runs sohighas to burst'the bounds which
separate financial stability from panic and disaster.
wall street has been agitated with various conflicting
rumors respecting the movements and success of General
Hooker, but stocks have not been yery much influenced,
and gold Las fluctuated but little.
As we go to press gold. stands at 151J£, having sold as
high as 152 and as low as 151. Exchange has been active
this morning at 166@167.- jThe rates of foreign bills,
which have hitherto ruled lower than the relative value
of specie, will most.probably regain before the close of
the present month,their usual value as compared with
gold. • ‘
The market opened quiet t hut firm, and an irregular
tendency towards a further general’ enhancement' of
prices ■was decidedly/apparent.
