and Ills Army.

Saturday Morning, May 2,'1863.
_ THE RIGHT WING ACROSS.
Hooker’s army has moved. A large detaohinent
marched to Kelly?s Ford, crossed the Rappahannock
on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning' and on
Wednesday evening erhssed the Rapidan at Germa
nia and Ely’s Fords. There was no resistance at
Kelly’s ; at Germania the enemy was building a;
bridge, and so unexpected was the arrival of the
National troopß that the workmen were tasln pri
soners, and the bridge completed' for the use of the
army. 1
On Thureday evening the detachment arrived
at ( hancellorville, ten miles west from Frede
ricksburg, having accomplished a great march
in a short time and with but -little friction.
Three hundred rebel prisoners were taken and but
one man lost.; "At Ohanceliorville, a column march
ing trom United States Ford, joined the columns
from Germania and Ely’s Fords!
While this was transpiring on the right, the left
wing of the army was also in motion. On Wednes
day morning' four pontoon bridges wefe thrown
across the Rappahannock, five miles below Frede
ricksburg. Tlib men first crossed .in pontoon boats
and seized the position. The- Il9th Pennsylvania-
Volunteers were the first to cross. The enemy fired
a volley in the dark which wounded about twenty
men, among them Colonel Ellmaker, whose injuries
arc reported serious. ’
The badges were completed at daylight, and a
sufficient force to hold the position was sent oyer.
Eighty-three prisoners were captured from the 13th
Georgia and 6th Louisiana Regiments. Thepriso.a
ers reported that Jackson is in command below;■ the
report, however, is believed to be false, as more re
cent and reliable information places Jackson’s com
mand at Gordonsville.
DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE ENEMY’S
OnFiiday morning more troops crossed at United
States Ford, and marched into position near Chan
cellorville. At 2 P. M. General Sykes, with his
division bf Regulars, made a demonstration against
the enemy’s right, drove him back a mile, capturing
over one hundred prisoners. The casualties in killed
and wounded are unknown. The casualties in Sykes’
division were IeBB than thirty wounded. -
Gen, Slocum, at the: same time, moved on the
Plank road towards Fiederiokßburg, some distance
to the right of Sylcea, Here nothing was done but
slightly'shelling the woods.
AWAITING BESULTS-THE MOVEMENT A
Having felt the enemy’s position, and tested-his
disposition to light, General Hooker determined to
await the result of other movements, before making
his general attack. The army is in* fine condition,
and the men are in excellent spirits. The fact that
thelcommanding general preserved, in the profound
est secrecy, the plan of liis operations, until they
were in actual progress of execution, gives great
confidence to the corps and division commanders.
The evidence everywhere found that .the enemy is
taken by surprise, is one other source of encourage
ment.: .Thus far, then, the campagn has opened most
auspiciously. ,« •
Gen;’Stoneman has fallen far short ofthe reasona
ble expectations of his’-friends,, and beyond doubt
has’.incurred the displeasure ofthe Commanding
General. There is still, however, a prospect of his
retrieving this lost ;conAdence of his associate offi
cers, and your correspondent would much prefer to
record of him gallant deedß bravely done, than to
Write his valedictory, to honor, confidence, and fame.
Before another sun shall rise and set, the “stars ”
of this" tardy officer will shine out brightly through
the‘clouds, or disappear in total and perpetual
eclipse.'
"While General Hooker was thus quietly awaiting
results, the nervous enemy was meditating wrath
against the army encamped in Ms fr,ont. At. four
o’clock an attach was made on the right centre of
the line, and was met by General Williams, of Geii.
Slocum’s corps.. The attack gradually extended
along nearly the entire front, amounting to a recon
noissance in. force, feeling along the line from right
to left.
/•PENNSYLVANIA ARTILLERY.
Just opposite Hooker’s headquarters, the enemy
made a vigorous charge oh Knapp’s and Hampden’s
Pittsburg batteries. however, was
c.paoTßortfl-tr.
resisted and repeired'thc-yeilirig rebels.■ As the sun
went;down and darknesß closed oh theßcene; the
firing .ceased, and the enemy retired, with know
ledge either satisfactory or otherwise. By sunrise
this morning we may know his intents.
It is not yet time to say what corps are here and
how disposed. To-morrow it may be proper to make
it public. Till then, wait. -MAXWELL. - -
THE ACTIONS NEAR CHANCELLORVILLE—
- THE.STRATEGIC POSITION.
Headquarters near Chancei.i.orvii.i.e, May
I,—Writing under thiß date, the Times' corre
spondent says':
The great strategic importance of .this position
grows more and more apparent every hour. We hold
the GordonsvilJe road securely. By going half a
mile ,to the rear, we find a country road leading to
Spoftsylyania Court House; four miles to the rear
is another. Their flank is thus dangerously ex
posed, for if they retreat they are. harassed by flank
. and rear 3 if they .fight, they must fight in an open
field on equal termSj,with perhaps great advantages
"in our favor. ' .
Evidences hourly accumulate of the fact that the
enemy is totally surprised at our vigorous opera
tions, and, in a great measure, unprepared to meet
us. That he is very nervous is evident from the
manner in which he falls to digging rifle-pits in
every convenient location. If any further evidence
of this fact were it is found in the capture at
this point, yesterday, of a despatch from Gen. Lee
to an engineer officer; here, saying, in substance,
that hewasvet'y much surprised at this movement, had
not anticipated it, . and was unprepared to give him, in
structions. This despatch was dated April 29. One
more fact. McVicar captured, in his charge, last
night, a despatch ; from Gen. Lee to Fitzhugh Lee,
ordering his cavalry brigade to be at Spdttsyl vania
Court House on April 30. Thus Lee came in upon
McVicar’s rear,; who was also bound to-Spotfcsyl
vania.
THE CHANCELLORVILLE CROSS-ROADS.
Eight here let me, if I caa, give an idea of our
exact location. On your maps you will perceive
Chancellorville, a few miles west of Fredericksburg,
a true style of Virginia.village, consisting of one
house and a cross-roads—albeit, the house, in this
instance, is a fine large structure, and will accom
modate a great many wounded, to which purpose it
is already devoted.. But the cross-roads is the mat
ter of vital importance here. From this point the
plank-road runs directly west, to Culpeper, byway
of Germanna Ford, or by turnpike via ElyVFord.
The Gordonsviile turnpike diverges to the left, four
miles in our rear. The plank-road to Fredericks
burg runs nearly due east, making an elbow bend to
the south here, but regaining its easterly direction
Within.four miles. Nearly east, or about cast-north
east, funs the old turnpike to Fredericksburg, which
intersects the plank-road again, about three miles
from here. Near this intersection a road bears to
the left, and goes to Banks’ Ford,'six miles, direc
tion northeast. United States Ford lies' north
northwest, and the road thereto leaves the Ely’s
Ford road . and bears to the right, about one mile
from this point. This road winds through the tim
ber, and is very indifferent at the beat.
THE ENEMY ATTACKED BY SYKES,
At about twelve o’clock Gen. Sykes’ division was
sent forward on the left, by the Banks’ ford road, to
make an attack and compel the enemy to develop
his strength en that.bank. He moved promptly into
position, with Weed’s (now Watson’s) regular
tery. Heavy skirmishing commenced, our men
entering the field with much enthusiasm. The Bth
Pennsylvania Cavalry skirmished in the very front
l'or ; some time, and sustained a galling fire from the
enemy’s infantry, butbehavedwithgreatintrepidity.
They charged and recharged upon the infantry,- only
to be in turn driven back. Gen. Sykes then threw
forward two companies oi infantry, without knap
sacks, on: the._double-quick, who supported the
! cavalry, and checked the further pursutvof The ene-~
my. The action now became quite general between
the two forces, each seeming to be about' the same
strength. The rebel division thU3 engaged was that
of Anderson , part of Longstreet’sold corps, and eon--
aisting of the brigades of Pasey, Mahone and Wil-;
cox. ' Sykes fought the latter brigade at Gaines’
Mill, The rebels contested the -ground very vigo
rously, giving way. only when, pressed very hard.
Our troops fought for fully an hour with great spirit
and drove .the enemy from two successive and strong
positions upon ridges ofiand which run parallel with
the R appahannock. The distahee thus gained was
nearly one mile, and some fifty* prisoncrß, mostly be
longing to Virginia regiments, were captured.
TH!E FIGHT SUSPENDED—HQOKER’S T AC-
PHILADELPHIA
: About o’clock, an. order was received by Gen.
Sykes. from General Hooker, to suspend the attack,
and.retire neatly ta his former position. This ap
peared inexplicable to both.officers and men, and as
the latter caine back slowly and in good ; order, fre
quent. mutterings were heard among them about.
being “on the, retreat again.” But the sequel
proved that there was. a mind over all, who di
rected what 'was beßt for them. The-cause
for tbiß movement - was the fact that General
Hooker had received information from his head
quarters that the enemy had thrown the greater part
of.his force oyer on this side of the fortifications,
and had also removed many of the guns in the lower
batteries, and placed them In position, at the upper
end of the town, thus indicating an intention of ma
king an attack on us. lie, therefore, suspended this
preliminaiy attack at ODce, which had been arranged
as a prelude .to important operations elsewhere,
and.rightly surmised that if the. enemy did really
mean to attack us they would follow up our retire
ment. At 2 P. M. he remarked : I think I can
make them come out find fight me on my own
ground.” In two hours the assertion was proven.
The enemy mistook .our voluntary retirement for a
check, and followed us rapidly as we fell back. -
ATTACK BY THE REBELS IN' FOROE
FIEROE ONSLAUGHT AND OUIUK RE
PULSE-HOOKER IN-THE SADDLE. : •
General Sykes* division had got in their old posi
tion, and pickets thrown out, when the enemy
appeared in t force .on the ridge, .at the foot of which
we lay. Our men had stacKed arms, .and were at,
rest. The whole division ? eave'the Duryea Zouaves,
were lying at nearly, nsrht, angles with the road.
The Zouaves were, parallel with the road. Q,uick
as t thought General Sykes brought his men into
line. ; the Zouaves on ; the left half wheeling into’
line'of battle like a machine.. The rebels paused a
moment on the top of the-iidge, and, as.if to nerve
them for the onset, gave one of their scattering de
moniac yells,‘and. then came down on the
quick, shooting, capturing, and literally running
over 1 our poor ,pickets,wli.o' scrambled behind all
sorts of obstructions. But in an Instant more, a
tenible crash reaounded-from the Zouive end of
the line, and down the column foiled the most
deafening .roar-of nuiaketiythat, in aUmy. war ex
cxpeiienco, has ever met my ears. It did not last,
apparently, two minutes, but its work was effective.
TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1863.
AT CHANOELLORVILLE.
CROSSING OF THE LEFT.
RIGHT.
SUCCESS.
GEN. STONEMAN.
AN ATTACK FROM- THE ENEMY.
GENERAL LEE UNPREPARED.
This attack was very fierce, and. being bo much
nearer than the previous firing had been, created
considerable commotion around the cross-roads. It
at once brought Gen. Hooker into the saddle, for the
first time during the day, and things were speedily
in shape. This onslaught was for the purpose of re
taking-this very important point. Thefirst thing
dose was the massing of artillery near the roads,
and in fifteen minutes twenty-two guns were send
ing shell into the woods, and the roar of artillery
became ten times more deafening than that of the
mußketry had been. The .work was soon done. The
contest lasted three-quarters of an hour, and the
enemy ignominiously retired.
THE REBELS AGAIN DRIVEN OFF.
. Although this attack was bo handsomely repulsed,
it proved to be only preliminary to stilllgreater ope
rations. At 4.30 P. M., 061.- Diven, who had caval
ry skirmishers on the plank ’ road, reported the ene
my advancing in force and driving* in his pickets.
He was soon discovered deploying to the right, and
Gen. Slocum protnptly metthe.moye by
Geary’s division and Hampton’s at
tack proved to be only a
next thiDg was a development still further on o.qtt r
right, which was again check-mated by-Gen. W-il-;v
liams, who, with three batteries of artillery andhis
own division, replied very effectively to the enemy’s
fire, which }vas sometimes brißk, but never heavy.
Beyond this he did not go, except to occasionally
shell our extreme, right, under Gen. Howard, v but
histroops were very placid, and the Bhells did no
damage. ;
THE THIRD' REPULSE—GALLANTRY, OF
THE .PENNSYLVANIANS—REBEL LOSS
AND SUFFERING!
For a while there was a cessation of the desultory
and spasmodic firing, which had been going on for
two hours. But at 6% o’clock a desperate charge
was made for our batteries commanding the plank
road. The rebels advanced through the woods at a
rapid pace, and got within, point-blank canister
range of our guns.‘A column, also, came up the
road -wildly... .Geary met them with great prompt
ness, and wheeling a regimentintotheroad, a deadly'
volley was poured into their advance. j At the same
time Knapp and Hampton double-shotted their guns
with canißter, and for fifteen minutes there was an
other fiery episode. Of course the,enemy were se
verely repulsed, and with heavy loss. Their killed
aDd wounded fell in the tiinber in front of our bat
teries, and the leaves and brush having been set on
fire by shells, the poor wretches are suffering a
double death.
OUR LOSSES—ACTION OF THE TROOPS.
Our losses yesterday are not yefc known. We had
about one hundred killed and wounded in General
Sykes’fight early in the afternoon. Capt. Marsh,
of the 17th regulars, was - killed. Captain Overton,
of General Sykee’staff, was wounded—not danger
ously; Lieutenant, Wells, 14th regulars, wounded ;
Lietenant Colonel •W’alker, Assistant Adjutant
General to General Couch, was wounded by a piece
of shell in the arm—not seriously.
The troops acted magnificently. Not a case of
misbehavior has come to my, knowledge.:- They go
into battle with enthusiasm, and one idea seems to
animate every one—the idea of victory.
OPERATIONS BELOW FREDERICKSBURG.
TWO MILES BELOW FREDERICKSBURG,
Saturday Morning; 7% o’clock, May 2, 1863.
-The rebels have opened the ball this morning.
Fifteen minutes ago a light battery, planted during
the night in the rear of the Bernard Houße, tossed a
couple of shell among our troops, and was imme
diately followed by their ten 10-pound Parrots
planted oh the side of the crest, three-quarters of a
mile below, which are now concentrating a rapid
fire on our lower bridge, with the expectation,
doubtless, of destroying it. Our guns ,on theieft
are returning the fire vigorously. Owing, to the
dense clouds of smoke, I am unable to.malss out all
the : batteries participating. Captain Pickett’s Ist
Pennsylvania, Captain Edgell’s Ist New Hamp
shire, Captain Thomson’s Independent Battery,
planted together on a small elevation, are among
the number.
Fifteen Minutes past Eight.— The rebels have
opened their Witworth gun and several others on
the extreme- left. Our troops are drawn tup in two
lines of battle on this side of the Rappahannock,
and have not suffered any as yet. Those on the
other side have dropped down under the protection
of the river bank, where they are safe from the ene
my’s missiles. Last night they were heard opera
ting on the railfpad, and this morning a few pieces
ofTailroad iron have been thrown. The firing from
ourforceß on the right, now directly in the rear of
the rebels, can be distinctly heard. A moment ago,
I saw one of their shells.explode above the crest.
The rebels are thus compelled to fight that wag and face
this.
The decisive struggle will undoubtedly take place
fc-day. If we have a sufficiently heavy force in the
rear, victory must crown our efforts. The weather
is very mild and balmy. But few rebels can be

Nine O’clock;—The fire has temporarily slack

A BOLD RECONNOISS ANOE —DE ATH. OF
COL. McVICKAR.
During a brilliant and daring reconnoissance on
Thursday evening, the brave Col. McVickar, of the
6th New Y.oik Cavalry, lost his life. He had gone
with his cavalry toward Spottsylvania Court House,
when, four miles on the road, he was attacked by a
large force of, Virginia cavalry. Lieut. Col. Mc-
Vickar immediately ordered a charge in columns of
fours, and drove them a mile and a quarter, losing
two captains and six men, and capturing twelve of
the enemy. The enemy then took to the woods, and
the New York boys lollowedon both roads, charging
the enemy with effect and great loss.
In this action the brave McVickar received his
death wound, and died instantly, and with him 16
men of Company F. The affair was one ofthe
boldest of the advance thus. far. The charge of 200
of our men upon Fitzhugh Lee’s brigade, and the
successful escape of our force was a fit and stirring
event for th'e openiDg of thiß grand battle.

MAJOR GENERAL DIX TO HENRY A. WISE.
Headquarters Department op Virginia,
Seventh Army Corps,
Fortress Monroe, Va., April 28, 1863.
To General Henry A, Wise, or the Commanding Officer
of the troops on the Chickahominy: ,
JSir: The town of Williamsburg has been occu
pied, asyou are aware, by the troops under my
command as a picket station or outpost of York
" town. A largeportion of the inhabitants are kqown
not to be well disposed to the Government of the
United States. They have, nevertheless, while qui
etly pursuing their domestic avocations, been unmo
lested, and-have beeh; permitted to supply them
selves with the necessaries and comforts of life at
Yorktown and Fortress Monroe. The Inßahe Asy
lum at Williamsburg has been put' under the super
intendence of an army surgeon, and its three hun
dred helpless inmates, supplied, at the expense
of the United States with, everything necessa
ry to their comfort, and with the remedial treat
ment-they require. While exercising these offices
of humanity, the troops at Williamsburg have been
several times attacked by your ibices, not witha.view
to gain and hold possession of the place and to as
sume the guardianship which has been extended to
the inhabitants and the tenants of the asylum by uaj
but ior the purpose of harassing those who were
—poi-foiTOiner-thio-gonorouBj!eadce._: On the 3lSt ult.
your forces entered and endeavored ro~taKe~pbSses~"
sion of the town, occupy ingeeveral houses and firing
upon the troops, and in this, as I am informed, they
were aided by some ofthe inhabitants, who have
been living for nearly a year under our. protection.
More recently your forces entered the town and took
possession of it,' placing our employees in the Insane
Asylum under pai ole, carrying off some of the ser
vants, and Ueprivingits inmates ofthe care to which
they have been accustomed, arid which; their help
less condition renders indispensable. You have, by
withdrawing your forces, left the asylum again to our
charity, and compelled Major General Keyes, the
commanding officer of the troops at Yorktown and
Fort Magi uder,to supply it with'food to save the pat
ients from starvation.
These raids, under the peculiar circumstances, are
in violation of every dictate of humanity. Having
no result, and apparently no object but annoyance
and a useless sacrifice of life, they are also in viola
tion of every principle of honorable warfare. I have
directed MajorGeneralKeyes to reoccupy the town,
and that the aggressions referred to may cease, Igive
you notice, in case of any repetition of them—
l. That the inmates of the asylum will be-sent to.
Richmond, and the United States relieved of thebur
den of their support.
: 2. That any house which may be taken possession
of for the purpose of firing upon the troopß stationed
there; will be razed to the ground 3 and
3; That any citizen of Williamsburg not belonging
io a regularly organized corps, who shall be found
co-operating in these attacks and rising in arms
against the occupying troops, will be put to death as
a violator Of the laws of civilized warfare.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN A. DIX 3 Major General.
! As the above letter was transmitted to the rebel
lines ODly a'tlay or two ago, it is hardly timetoexpect
an answer yet. Wise or his successor will have to
submit tlie letter of General Dix to the rebel autho
rities at Richmond, and from that source the answer
thereto will be framed and returned to these head
quarters.- •-
•••; That Major General Dix will do all he. says in his
correspondence may be taken as a Gospel fact. Never
was humanity more grossly outraged than by the in
human and brutal raid of the rebels upon the devoted
town where.three hundred poor, helpless, insane, and
idictß received the beneficent care of an indulgent and
; generous Administration ; . and -our warm-hearted
General, than whom no,one is more humane, will
wreak a terrible vengeance on the rebellious hordes,
who neither' respect nor care for the exercise of the
finer feelings. If General Dix’s propositions are ac
cepted, and Williamsburg is vacated altogether by
the enemy, the town will be in as flourishing a con
dition as in times,of.yore. If .it is not vacated, the
ancient site of Willinm;and Mary College, f tlie Alma

Gen* Kwrllrat’s Mississippi Raid-Daring
Enterprise «if Col* Grierson—Expedition
■Down tike Mobile and Ohio Railroad—
Another Expedition from Rosecrans
Rebel Communications Destroyed*
• Cairo. April 28th, 186 s.
By the time this letter reaches you it will be no
longer contraband, I preaumefto throw a little light
on the nature and extent of the “raid’* which has
just been made under the orders of Major General
Hurlbut, commanding the 16th army corps, upon the
rebel lines of communication between Vicksburg
and Gen. Johnston’s army. If your readers will -
take a map of Mississippi, they will see that be
tween the head-waters of the streams which flow
west,'toward the Mississippi river, and those
which flow , east, toward the Tombigbee, there runs
a ridge of country marked by the to wns of Ripley,
Pontotoc, and and leading to the line of the
•Mississippi Railway, which connects at Meridian
with the Selma and Meridian Railroad,and the
first link in the long chain between the rebel fortress
of Vicksburg and the rebel strongholds in the moun
tains of Eaßt Tennessee and Georgia. On the 17th
instant, General Hurlbut, acting in concert with
General Rosecrans, despatched a force ..of cavalry,
under Colonel Grierson, of the 6th Illinois cavalry,
with orders to follow this ridge as far south as Can
ton, where he was to burn the great depot of rolling
stock accumulated at that point, thence to follow
the line of the Mississippi and Decatur , railroad,
burning all the bridges on his way, and particularly
the Important bridge over Chunky creek, near New
ton, and so to reach Meridian. From this point, if
successful so far, he was to strike for the high bridge
over th'e Tombigbee river, on: the Selma and Meri
dian railway, and return to Memphis by way of Co
lumbuß, in Mississippi. The Bweep of this “raid,”
it will be seen, is only to be compared for extent and
importance to the dash of Carter through East Ten
nessee, and its results, if successful, promise to be a
_great “demoralization M of. the rebels in regions
hitherto unvisited by'our aruiß,'-iv"£njrio%i«-in.t.oßrjin»
of the planß of G-eneral .TdHhstonp'wtiwtcrror
they may be, and such an isolation of Vicksburg
from the forces in it 3 rear as must materially ad
vance the objects which General Grant is so ener
getically pursuing.
Simultaneously with this expedition, a movement
of a somewhat similar character was set on foot by
order of General Rosecrans from Tuscumbia, where a
detachment from his army joined a small force frpm
the command of General-Hurlbut, The direction of
this expedition I think itbest to suppress, as no news
from it has yet reached me. From General Hurlbut’s
Mississippi “ raid” I have such news, down to the
23d instant, as warrants me in believing that it is
likely to have alreadyresulted in a.brilliant success,
which will entitle Colonel Grieason to the admira
tion'of the country. New&.of its results’ia pretty
sure to come in upon the South before this
can come to hand, and the rebels of Mobile and
Montgomery have doubtless come to tke conclusion
that “somethingis happening.”

Incidents of Uic Fight at Cape Girardeau.
A correspondent of the Missouri Democrat , giving
an account of the late battle at Cape Girardeau,
mentions the following: ,
“ One of the interesting incidents of this affair was
the answer of Colonel Strahan, on behalf of General
McNeil, to the rebel flag of truce, demanding the
surrenderof the town, and allowing half an hour
for an answer. In returning the written answer.
Colonel Strahan remarked to the rebel officers :
“ * I want you to set down twenty-nine minufceßto

minute to give his answer, and he expects to hold,
the poat of Cape Girardeau himself/ ”
The same correspondent gives the following addi
tional incidents :
“ Among those that were killed was Christopher
Johnson, Company G, let Wisconsin cavalry, his
leg having been shot off* near the thigh. The cool
ness ahd nerve evinced by this young man, on- the
brink of death, was remarkable beyond anything we
ever, heard of. He was struck by a BhelJ, which
nearly severed the leg from bis body, leaving it dan
gling by a narrow piece of the flesh and skin. Gath
erings the severed member up in his arms, he endea
vored to get into an ambulance without assistance,
and announced his determination, and actually did
perfonn the feat of carrying the shattered limb in
his arms a distance of-two-miles, to the hospital,
after being assisted into an ambulance.
“One of the rebels stated thatthe firstgun fired
from the Cape, shot off both Ills arm, and that of his
brother, one losing the right, and the other the left
arm!”

' THE EXCITEMENT
about the great battle, supposed to be now fighting
somewhere along the Rappahannock, runs very high
afternoon, and is all the more intense; from the
fact that the telegraph, upto this hour (three P. M.>
remßinß silent. Some little talk and conjecture are
occasioned by the report of General Mulligan’s de
feat in Western Virginia} but people generally
seem resolved not to comment upon anything until
something d'finite is beard from Hooker; and pa
tient crowds have been standing expectantly around
the bulletin boards of the newspaper offices ever
since ten o’clock this morning. It is noticeable that
General Hooker and the Government together, have
managed very effectively to put a. stop to the trans
mission of premature news privately, as well as
publicly; for the officers’ families residing in this
city have received none of those significant private
telegrams with which they were duly warned
of all the previous great battles in Virginia. Some
merriment is excited amongst the newsnaper people
here by the promulgation of General Hooker’s new
order, requiring all the telegraphic war news in the
papers hereefter to have the full names of the cor
respondents sending it printed with it. This saga
ci°Ps order, I am afraid, will wofully cut down the
war* telegrams of Borne of our reliable journals,
unless they publish the interesting war news in
vented and made up in their offices over the handy
Dames of John Doe and Richard Roe. It is, I sus
pect, to suppress this, sort of news that the re
doubtable “Joe” issues his order; but, a*yousee
there is a way of getting around it, and if the Gene
ral fails to whip the rebels, the editorial fraternity
will be very apt to make him suffer for his rigor
with them. It_is needless to Bay that all manner of
rumors are floating;about town this afternoon, the
one particularly leveled at ; Wall street being that
Dee haß defeated our army and driven half of it
into the river. The speculators cannot bear the

is out, but attracts scarcely any attention. The
public verdict against shelved generals can seldom
be reversed.
THE ANNIVERSARIES,
which commence with that'of the Presbyterian -
Board of Foreign Missions to-morrow (Sunday,)

CENTRAL PARK
is just beginning to be pleasant again, though a
friend who has returned from a ride thither informs
me that the dust there' tx-day is almost, equal to a
heavy fog. The mall is in an excellent condition,
and since the commencement of clear weather it has
been numerously frequented by the owners of ex
pensive horseflesh, and the various fashionable Di
Vernons who take particular pleasure in edifying
the poor, plodding pedestrians with specimens of
their skill in teaching sleek palfreys to prance. The
most fashionable riding habits are made with a
basque-waist of blue military cloth, lapping m&scu
linely open in.front, to display a pretty little neck
tie and plaited kerchief, and sufficiently slashed with
sqlferino trimmings and brass buttons to look mili
tary. Hiding hats are varied to suit wearers, the
English “pork-pie,” with a feather in it, alterna
ting with a fanciful French-rimmed hat, supposed to
he something like those worn by the court
ladies in the days of Madame Pompadour. We
have Bomc really fine equestriennes among our
fair New_ Yorkers, but no young Lochinvar has
yet appeared upon the mall to vindicate his
sex in horsemanship. Indeed, our masculines
never did take kindly to the saddle; they seem to
know instinctively that the present civilian costume
of mankind has a very footmanish look in the stir
rups, and when they have fine horses they want; to
ride behind them, in spider-like wagons, at a pace
sufficiently “killing” to .repel the foul aspersion r
a livery turnout. They can hardly be blamed for
this peculiar bent of their equestrian dispositions;
for a broad-bloth coat and stove-pipe hat on horse
back, beside a.“postilion” fancy basque and “pork
pie” apotheosis, give a spectator the impression of a
respectable groom in attendance on his young mis
tress. It is no unusual sight tp see a gaily-dressed
Di Vernon prancing along on a glossy steed, while a
genuine groom, or “tiger,” rides at a respectable
distance behind her, on a dignified coach horse, with
white gloves, broad hat-band, boots with yellow tops,
and silver buttons on his coat; and this veritable
groom has a look of far more intense respectability
than it is possible for any modernly-dressed gentle
man to present on horseback. - ,
THE OPERA
is to venture upon another season with us, com
mencing on the coming Monday evening, when Max
IVlaretzek proposes to make our American public ac
quainted with Verdi’s new opera of “ Aroldo.’*
This composition, as you are -probably aware, is
founded upon the story of a Saxon Knight of Kent,
who returns home to his castle from the crusades
to find that his wife has permitted one Godwin, who
ie a chivalric adventurer, to make love to her in her
husband’s absence. The-first discoverer of the in
tiigue, though, is a stern old Baron, the father
of the compromised lady, who thereupon challenge*
Godwin to mortal.combat. The duel has just com
menced, when Harold, the crusader, chances upon
the combatants, and so gains his first knowledge of
his lady’s reproach. He therefore takes the quarrel
upon hiznself, and is about to finish the battle with
Godwinj when his wife makes her appearance and
implores that no blood shall be shed. Overmastered
by her prayers, but enraged at her dissimulation,.
Harold sheathes his sword and renounces his wife.
The old Baron, however, kills the perfidious Godicin.
All the characters being thus brought to misery,
they take measures to seek the relief of .new scenes,
Harold and his family priest, who had been with him.
in Palestine, retire to monastic sackcloth and ashes
at some distant place on the seacoast, and the Baron
flies to a foreign land with his disgraced daughter.
Time passes on, and the Baron and his daughter are
on their way back home again, when they are ship
wrecked upon the coast where Harold and the monk
are located. The family party are thus brought
together again, and after a while there is effected a
general reconciliation, with which the opera happily
ends.
THE BROADWAY RAILROAD WAR
still exhibits more “consummate strategy” than
definite results, and the parties on either side seem
to he contented that the ending should be what our
military critics call a question of time. It yet re
mains to be seen what judgment Governor Seymour
will render on the corrupt bill of the Legislature,
after the able manner in which it waa argued pro
and con before him yesterday. A. T. Stewart, of
course, still leads the opposition, and, in any event,
deserves well of this’ city for his truly Herculean
exertions to. preserve the street of which it'is so
proud from infamous confiscation to a gang of auda
cious speculators. We are all hoping that the pre
sent contest between the city and the State on the
question, will avail to at least defer the s railroadfora
year or two; or until we can elect legislators to re
voke the bill.
THE PRIZE FIGHT,
to take place between the two brutes known as Co
burn and; McCoole, on the' sth, is creating a. great
—e ui-r» o _c_of__this_ city, and the
gamblers and other personages of their &x&mp~are —
betting freely upon the result. As far as I can as
certain from the outside talk about the matter, the
largest betting is in favor of Coburn, who is sup
posed to possess greater powers of endurance, if not
more “ scienee,” than the other brute. I understand
that a majority of our City-Fathers, who would at
any time rather get drunk at a beastly prize-fight
than hear of a Union victory, have sent in their ap
plications'for tickets to admit them to the show*.
This is not at aU surprising in the men who passed
resolutions of condolence with Fitz John Porter.
WORKS OF ART,
like books, are meeting with liberal appreciation
here just now, and extensive sales. The exhibition
of the National Academy of Design is constantly
thronged with fashionable company, and many of
the finer pictures on the walls have been. purchased
at good prices. On Thursday evening we are to
have an auction sale of all of Leutze’s recent works,
including his striking picture of Lafayette visited
by his family in the prison of Olmutz; Ichabod
Crane and Headless Horseman, of Sleepy Hollow ;
the “Unexpected Friends,” representing an impri
soned knight liberated from durance vile by hiß lady
love: an oil sketch of Leutze’s great picture in the
Capitol, representing Emigration to the West, and
various other fine examples of character and land
scape painting. Some of your Philadelphia con
noisseurs should attend this sale, for Leutze-3 pic
tures will probably be more valuable fifty years''
hence than those of any other American artist. .
THEATRICALS
are about as lively as ever in this dramatically-*
abused town, where our only alternative from the
rubbish of the French third-class theatres is an oc
casional new comedy from some penny-a-liner of the
minor press, or an old comedy revamped under a
new name. ITo-morrow—that is to say, on Monday
evening—Miss Bateman will reappear at Niblo’s as s
Leahs a new comedy styled “Lost and Won”-will
be produced at Wallack’s, and a burlesque thing
called “Tibby; Or, The Cat in Crinoline” (asuffi
cienily vulgar title), will be introduced at Laura
Keene’s. Mr. J. S. Clarke iB doing very fairly at
the Winter Garden with a translation, by De Wal
den, called “Luck,” and a shortened version of the
“ Toodles.” STUYVESANT.
