such perfect satisfaction to the many seekers after the
BEST SEWING MACHINE, that we republish it for the
benefit of those who are about making a selection of that
most indispensable article ofmodern inventions
A CARD.
We do not deem it essential, nor find it necessary, in
order to sell our machines, to depreciate the many ex
cellent productions of our competitors; but; on the con-
trary, we prefer that parties in quest of a truly superior
and reliable article, either for fajpily- use or manufactu-
ring purposes, should make an examination and com-,
parison of our latest and most approved machines with
any and all others in the market; and to facilitate such
inquiry, we append the names and places of business of
our principal competitors, to. wit

- And we have urgently to request that ouv customers
and all others, not fully advised as to the relative merits
of tlie GROVER & BAKER machines, will, before pur
chasing, even*from us, make the examinations and com-
parisons above indicated. And if we have omitted the
names of any respectable manufacturers, we .will, on
being advised of the fact, cheerfully and gratuitously
add them to the above list. ' ■

In conclusion:
We clip the following from the editorial columns of the
Sunday Transcript
A NOVEL MODE OF ADVERTISING.-Wei notice
that the Grover & Baker Sewing Machine Company ad
vertise gratuitously the names and places of business
of their principal competitors in the Sewing Machine
line, and urge those seeking a perfect machine to avail
themselves of this list to make their own comparisons.
Aside from .the novelty of this mode of ad
thing could-be fnirer'ov’raore liberal; and inmost cor---.
fftHly e vinces that the Grover & Baker Company do not
fear the results. Since this Company have recently
brought out a series of Shuttle Stitch Machines; claimed
to be superior to any machine making that stitch, in :
addition to their celebrated machines making the Gro-
ver & Baker stitch, they certainly seem to have covered
the whole ground. We doubt very much if themode of
advertising adopted by this, house will he very often in-
fringed upon.

[Special Correspondence of The Press. ]
Fortress Monroe, May 12,1863.
>We are sweltering under, the ardent rays of the
sun, Last week the weather was quite cool, and
the sudden transition from cold to heat is very
trying and almost intolerable. About four hundred
men, belonging to the 3d Regiment New York Vo
lunteers are now embarking on the Bteamboat
Kennebec. Their term of service has just expired,
and after two years’ unintermitted service, the rem
nant return to their homes.' Many, of-them, have
'already -re-ehlisted, and I doubt hot a majority of
those Who take their departure to-day will return
to soldiering as soon as they have spent their
money. The remnants of this regiment and the
Hawkins’ Zouaves, (9th Regiment N. Y. V.,) are to
be consolidated, and the ne\? regiment will be
known as the 3d Regiment New York Volunteers.
The commanding general has issued the following
order, expressive of regret, that he mhgt part with
such brave men, and takes the opportunity to cor.
dially v thank those who have re-entered the service
oi-their country:
.Headquarters Dep’t of Virginia,
, Seventh Army Corps,
Fort Monroe, Va., May 12,1883.
To the 3d New York yolmleers (Infantry):
The Major General Commanding cannot withhold
the expression of hißdeep regret that the term of
service for which a large number of the men of
the. 3d New . York Volunteers enlisted is about to
expire, and that he is compelled to part with them.
; ln discipline,-good conduct, and in a faithful dis
charge of their duties, under all the circumstances
in which they have been placed, he ventures to say
they are not surpassed by any other regiment in the
service.
the care, vigilance, and fidelity of their
officers and their able and through
-their own just sense of-all their obligations, under
the military laws by which they have been governed,
they have earned a most enviable reputation.
To those who have re-entered the service—with
an unshaken determination to uphold the cause of
thejr country against its faithless enemies—he ten
ders his sincere thanks; and if those who are about

CONGRATULATORY ORDER PROM GEN.
. Major General Dix has issued the following Gene
ral Order:
Headquarters Department op Yieoinia,
Seventh Army Corps,
Fortress Monroe, Ya., May 6,1563,
General Orders No. .32.— The Major General
commanding congratulates Major General Peck,
and the troops under his command at Suffolk, on the
sudden retreat of the enemy to the Black water, after
a close investment of the place for more than three
weeks by a superior force, led by some of the most
distinguished generals of the insurgents. The ene
my haß sustained a loss of five guns, and not less
than fifteen hundred men in prisoners, killed, wound
ed, and deserters, while ours is limited to - a compa
ratively small number of killed and wounded.
; For this result the highest praise is due to Major
General Peck, through whose untiring industry and
good judgment during the last six months the place
has been strongly fortified, and through whose
watchfulnssc it has been held during the investment.
The same high praiße is due to the troops under his
command, and to their officers. Their courage and
vigilance, their firmness in resisting the enemy’s at
tacks, their gallantry in assaulting him in his works
on repeated occasions, deserve the heartfelt thanks
which the Major General commanding hereby ten
ders them.
The Major General commanding avails himself of
thiß occasion to; acknowledge the gallant and effi
cient co-operation of the gunboats sent by Admiral
Lee into the Nansemond, under Lieutenants Cush
ing and Lamson, in silencing the enemy’s batte
ries, in resisting the enemy’s attempts to cross the
river, and especially the assistance lent by the lat
ter to General Getty in capturing five of the ene
my’s guns.

ARM! OF THE POTOMAC,
Th€ Irisli Brigmlc-Gcn. Menglicr’s Letter
of Resignation.
Jleadquarthrs Irish Brigade,
Hancock’s Division, Couches Corps,
AiuilTvof the Potomac, May 8, 1863.
Major John Assistant Adjutant General:
I beg most respectfully to tender through you, to
the proper authorities, my resignation as brigadier
general commanding what was once known as the.
Irish Brigade. That brigade no longer exists. The
assault on the enemy’s works on the 13th December
last reduced it to something less than a minimum
regiment of infantry. For several weeks it remain
ed in-this exhausted condition. Brave fellows from
the convalescent camp and from sick beds at home
gradually reinforced this handful of devoted men.
Nevertheless, it failed to reach the strength or pro
portions of anything like an effective regiment.
These facts I represented as clearly and forcibly as
it was in my power to do in a memorial to the .Se
cretary of War, in which memorial I prayed that a
brigade which had rendered such service and incur
red such distressing losses should be temporarily
relievedfrom duty in the field, so as to give it time
and opportunity in some measure to renew itself.
This memorial was in vaim It never even was
acknowledged. The depression caused by this un
generous and inconsiderate treatment of a gallant
remnant of a brigade that had never once failed to
do its duty most liberally and heroically almost un
fitted rae to remain in command. True, however, to
those who had been true to me—true to a position
which I considered sacied under the circumstances—
I remained with what was left of my brigade, and,
though feeling that it was to a sacrifice rather than
to a victory that we were going, I accompanied them
and led them through all the operations required of
them at Scott’s Mills and Chancelloryille, beyond
the Rappahannock.
A mere handful, my command did its duty at those
positions with a fidelity and resolution which won
for it the admiration of the army. It would be my
greatest happiness, as it would surely be my highest
honor, to remain in the companionship and charge
of such men; but to do so any longer would be to
perpetuate a public deception, in which the hard
won honors of good soldiers, and in them themilita
,ry reputation of a brave old race, would inevitably
be involved and compromised. I cannot be a party
to this wrong. My heart, my conscience, my pride,
all that is truthful/manful, sincere, and just within
me forbid it..
; In tendering my resignation, however, as the
brigadier general in command ot this poor vestige
and relic of the Irish Brigade, I beg sincerely to as
sure you that my services, in any capacity that can
prove useful, are freely at the summons and dispo
sition of the Government of the United States.
That Government, and the cause, and the liberty,
the noble memories, and the future it represents,
are .entitled, unquestionably and unequivocally, to
the life of every citizen who has sworn allegiance
to it, and partaken ofrits grand protection. But,
whilst I offer my own life to sustain this glorious
good Government, I feel it to be my firat duty to do
nothing that will wantonly imperil the lives of
others, or, what would be still more grievous and
irreparable, inflict sorrow and humiliation upon a
race • who, having, lost almost everything else, find
in their character for courage and loyalty an in
valuable gift, which: I, for one, will not’beso vain
or selfish as to endanger. I haye the honor to be,
most respectfully and truly, yours,

Howard to encourage his men to future and better
exertions:
Headquarters 11th Corps,
Army of the Potomac,
Near Brooke’s Station, Ya., May 10, 1863.
General Orders, No. 9.—As your commanding
general, I cannot fail to notice a feeling of depression
on the part of a portion of this corps. Some obloquy
has been cast upon us on account of the affair on
Saturday, May 2. I believe that such a disaster
might have happened to any other corps of this
army, and do not distrust my command.
Every officer who failed to do his duty by not
keeping his men together, and not rallying them
when broken, is conscious of it, and must profit by
the past.
I confidently'believe that every honorable officer
and every brave man earnestly desireß an oppor
tunity to advance against the enemy,, and demon
strate to the army and to the country that we are
not wanting in principle or patriotism. Your en

GENERAL HOOKERS RETROGRADE MOVE-
An army correspondent of the Bouton- Journal
says:
“To rightly understand Gen. Hooker’s position,
when he determined, in the deluge Qf Tuesday eve
return, there is another consideration be
sides line fear that communication would be cut off
by highfreshetgrethe disarrangement of plans, caused
by the defection of the 11th Corps; the non-re
ceipt of newß from Stoneman; and the failure of
Sedgwick to open communication from Fredoricks
. butg. Besides all these reasons for retiring, Gen,
Hooker felt, doubtless, that he was regarded by the
people as a raßh, foolhardy man, whose lack of cau
tion had sacrificed his men. And here let me nar
rate an incident which should be known, in justice
to Gen. Hooker, as it shows that he must have felt
it an imperative duty to be prudent and cautious ;
“ When it had been determined to supersede Ge
neral Burnside, and to place the Army of the Poto
mac under command of General Hooker, the last
named officer was summoned to Washington by the
President. Arriving at the White House, the Gene
ral was shown up into the Cabinet room at once, and
was warmly greeted by Mr. Lincoln, who said, after
salutations had been exchanged: ( I am just writing'
you a ’letter, containing my views on the manage
ment of your army, and will read it to you.’ The
President accordingly read his missive, which only
lacked his signature, and then, at General Hooker’s
request, he added that, and gave the letter to the
General. Some of these days that letter will be
valuable to the historian of the war, and when I as
sert that its concluding words were ( don’t be rash—
don’t be rash,’ it will he seen that the General must
have felt it imperative on him to be cautious. Af
terward, when Mr. Lincoln came here on a visit, he
remarked : ‘They told me in Washington to hurry
up General Hooker; but when lie once gets started,
there will be more necessity for treading on the tail
of his coat to keep him from moving too rashly.’
The General has falsified this prediction, surely.”

APPLICATION FOR A HABEAS CORPUS—REPLY OP
GEN. BURNSIDE,
[From the Cincinnati Gazette ofMay 13. ]
George E. Pugh renewed his motion before Judge
Leavitt, yesterday morning, in the United States
Circuit Court for a writ of habeas corpus, directed to
Gen. Burnside, directing him to bring the body of
C. L. Yallandigham into court, with the cause of
his arrest and detention,
The following is the petition of Mr. Pugh:
United States op America,
Southern District of Ohio, ss.
To the Honorable the Judge of the Circuit Court of the-
United States, within andfo)’ the District aforesaid:
Your petitioner, Clement L. Yallandigham, says
that he is a native-born citizen of the State of Ohio,
residing in Montgomery county, and not enlisted or
commissioned in the land or naval forces of the
United States, nor called into actual service eb one
of the militia of any State; nevertheless, on the sth
day of May, instant, between two and three o’clock
in the morning of said day, his dwelling-houße, (in
which he and his family then were,) in the city of
Dayton and county of Montgomery aforesaid, was
surrounded by about one hundred soldiers, armed
and in uniform as such, and acting under the direc
tion of Ambrose E. Burnside, a major general in the
army of the United States ; which soldiers then and
there violently broke the outer door and two inner
doors of your petitioner’s said house, and entered
the same, and then and there seized your petitioner
by overpowering numbers, and thence carried him
to the city of Cincinnati, in Hamilton county, in
the State and Southern district of Ohio, where they
imprisoned him, against his will, in a buildings on
Second or Columbia Btreet, then used as a military
prison; and your petitioner sayß that he has ever
since been and now is detained in custody, in said
city of Cincinnati, under a military guard, of which
said Ambrose E. Burnside is commander.
"i our petitioner alleges that he was thus violently
seized in his own house, in the night time, without
any warrant issued upon probable cause, supported
by oath or affirmation, and in contempt of his rights
■as an American citizen. He says, also, that since
his imprisonment, as aforesaid, a paper has h©*u de
livered to himJof..which-e true copyrisTicrewith an
piifporling. to contain a specifi
cation against him, signed Cutts,'chaplain"
and judge advocate, bn which charge and specifica

change, on eaßt Third street, in the city of Cincin
nati, Btyling themselves a Military Commission, and
assuming to exercise judicial authority at the insti
gation oi said Ambrose E. Burnside, as major gene
ral aforesaid. But your petitioner deems that he is
not subject to any such a mode of .arraignment or
of trial, and claims that all proceedings of that de
scription are, in his case, forbidden by the Constitu
tion and laws of the United States.
Therefore, and to the end that he may be relieved
from manifest oppression under color of military
authority, and that he maybe charged in due course
of law,'in this court, or some other, with whatso
ever crime he is intended to be imputed by the
charge and specification above mentioned, your pe
titioner moves your Honors to grant him a writ of
habeas corpus, directed to said Ambrose E. Burnßide,
and all persons assembled to act in obedience to his
orders, commanding him and them forthwith to
bring the body of your petitioner before this court,
together with the cause (if any) of his capture and
detention. And your petitioner, submits hereby to
whatsoever the Constitution of the United States,
in this behalf, may require. *

District Attorney Ball said he was requested by
Gen. Burnside to ask the court for a delay of half an
hour, when he would submit a statement which was
then being prepared in the case.
-*The court granted the delay, and in half an hour
Mr. Ball submitted the following statement, pre
pared by Gen. Burnside :
Headquarters Department of the Ohio,
1 Cincinnati, Ohio, May 11, 18G3.
To the Honorable the Circuit Court of the United Stales
Wilkin andfo)' the Southern District of Ohio:
The undersigned, commanding the Department of
the Ohio, having received notice from the clerk'of
said court that an application for the allowance of a
writ of habeas corpuß will be made this morning be
fore your Honors on behalf of Clement L. Yallan
digham, now a prisoner in my custody, asks leave to
submit to the court the following
STATEMENT.
If I were to indulge in wholesale criticisms of the
policy of the Government it would demoralize the army
under my command, and every friend of the country
would call me a traitor. If the oilicers or soldiers were
to indulge in such criticisms it would weaken the army
to the extent of their influence; and if this criticism were
universal in the army it would cause it to be broken to
pieces, the Government to be divided, our homes to be
invaded, and anarchy to reign. My duty to my Govern
ment forbids me to indulge in such criticisms; officers
and soldiers are not allowed lo so indulge, and this
course will be sustained by all henest men.
Now, I will go further. We are in a state of civil war.
One of the States of this department'is at this moment in
vaded, and three others have been threatened. I com
mand the department, and it is my duty to my country
and to this army to keep it in the best possible condition;
to see that it is fed, clad, armed, and, as tar as possible,
to see that it is encouraged. If it is my duty, and the
duty of the troops, to avoid sayiug anything that-'would
weaken the army, by preventing a single recruit from
joining the ranks; by bringing the laws of Cbngress into
disrepute, or by causing dissatisfaction in tho ranks, it
is equally, the duty of every citizen in the department to
avoid the same evil. If it is my duty to prevent the pro
pagation of this evil in the army, or in a portion of my
department, it is equally my duty in all portions of it;
and it is my duty to use 9,11 the force in my powerto
stop it.
If I weTefto find a man from the enemy’s country,
distributing in my camps speeches of their public men
that tended to demoralize the troops, or to destroy their
confidence in the constituted authorities of the Go
vernment, I would have them, and hung, if
fouod guilty, and all the rules of modern warfare would
sustain me. Why should such speeches, from our own
public men, be allowed ?
The public men, im a great emergency like
the present, should avoid the use fat party/epithets : aud
bitter invectives, and discourage the organization of se
cret political societies, which are always undignified
and disgraceful to a free people, but now they are abso
lutely wrong and injurious; they create dissensions and
discord, which just now amount to treason. The simnle
names ‘’Patriot” and “Traitor,” are comprehensive
enough.
... As 1 before said, wc are in a state of civil war, and ah
emergency is upon us which requires the operations of
some power that moves more quickly than the civil.
There never was a war carried on successfully, without
the exercise of this power.
It is said that the speeches which are condemned, have .
been in the presence of large bodies of citizens, who, if
they thought them wrong, would have then and there
condemned tli*m: That is no argument. These citizens
do not realize the effect .upon the army of our country,
who are its defenders. They have never been in the
field; never faced the enemies of their.country; never
undergone the privations of our soldier in the field; and,
besides, they have been in the .habit of hearing their
public men speak, and, as a general thing, of approving
'of what they say; therefore, the greater responsibility
retts upon-the public men and upon the public press,
and itbehooves them to be caremlas to what, they say.
They must not use license and plead that they are exer
cising liberty. In this departmoni it cannot be done.
I shall mse all the power I have to break down such
license, and I am sure 1 will be sustained in this course
by all honest men. At all events; I will have the con
sciousness, before God, of having done my duty to
my country, and when I am swerved from the perform
ance of that duty, by any pressure, public or private, or
by any prejudice, I will no longer be a man or a patriot.
I again assert, that every power I possess on earth,
that is given me from above, will be used in defence of
my Government, on all ..occasions, at all times, and in
all places witbin this department. Thereis no party, no
community, no State Government, no State legislative
body, no corporation, body of-men. that have.the
power to inaugurate a war policy that has the validity .
of law and power but:the constituted authorities of tho
Government of the United States; and l am determined
to support their policy. If the people do not approve
thatpolicy, feheyjcan changetlie constitutional authori
ties of that Government at the proper time and by the
proper method. Letthem freely discuss the policy in a
proper tone, hut my duty requires me to scop license
and intemperate discussion, which tends to weaken the
authority of the Government andarmy; whilst the latter
i.s in the presence of *he enemy it is cowardly so to weaken,
it. -.This license could not be used in our camps: the
men would be torn in piecea whowoula attempt it. There
is no fear of the people losing, their liberties; we
all know that to be tho cry of demagogues, and none
but the ignorant will listen to it; all intelligent men
know that our people are too far advanced in the scale of
civilization, education, and freedom, fa allowaßy power
on earth to interfere with their liberties; but this same
advancement in these great characteristics of our.pedple,
teaches them to mako’all necessary sacrifices for their
coun'.iy, when an emergency requires. They will sup
port the constituted authorities, of the Government,
whether they agree with them or not. Indeed, the
army itself is a part of the people, and is so thoroughly,
educated in the love of civil liberty, which is the best
guarantee for the permanence of our republican institu
tions, that it would itself be the first to opptse any at
tempt to continue the exercise of : military, authority
after the establishment of peace by tho overthrow of the
rebellion. No man on earth can lead our citizen sol
dievy.to the establishment of a military despotism, and
no man living would have the folly to attempt it. To.
do so would be so to seal his own doom. On this point
there can be no ground for apprehension on the part ox•
the people. . , . '
Itis said that wo caii have peace if we lay down our
v arms. All sensible men know this to be untrue/ vvere
'it so, ought.we to be so cowardly as, tqlay them down
until the authority of the Government is acknowledged?
I beg to call upon the fathers,'-mothers, brothers, eis-
THREE CENTS.
ters, sons, daughters, relatives, friends, and neighbors,
of the soldiers m the field, to aid me in stopping this li
cense and intemperate discussion, which, is discouraging
our armies, ■weakening the hands of the Government,
and thereby strengthening the enemy. If we use our
honest efforts, God will bless us with a glorious peace
and a united country. Men of every shade of opinion
have the same vital interests in. [the suppression of this
rebellion ;-dbr should we fail in the task the dread hor
rors of a ruined and distracted nation will fall alike on
all, whether patriots or traitors.
These are substantially my reasons for issuing ‘ ‘Gene
ral Order, rJo 38;” my reasons for the determination to
enforce it, and also my reasons for the arrest of the Hon.
C. L. \ allandigham, for a supposed violation of that
order, for ■winch he has been tried. The result of that
trial is now.m my hands.
In enforcing this order, I can he unanimously sus
tained by the people, or I can be opposed by factious,
bad men. In the former event, quietness will prevail •
in the latter event, the responsibility and retribution
will attach to the men who resist the authority, and the
neighborhoods that allow it.
. All of which is respectfully submitted.
A. E. BURNSIDE, Major General,
Commanding Department of the Ohio.
Mr. Pugh then resumed his argument in Bupport
of hia motion, and spoke for nearly three hourß. We
find it impossible to give anything like a sketch or
synopsis of bis remarks, the whole of which went to
show that the arrest, trial, and confinement of his
client was without authority of law, and that not
even Congress or the President had the right to de
prive him of his liberty, .much leas an officer .who
was merely the creature of the Government. He
contended that his client could only be deprived of
his liberty by due process of law, and then on the
presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury. He
quoted freely from the Constitution and various
legal authorities in support of his argument.
Mr. A. H, Perry followed on the part of General
Burnside, in a clear and able legal argument. He
said he had no inst ructions from Gen. Burnside, but
that the General deßired . that the question should be
fully discussed &b to his power and duties as a com
mander in the field. He said he considered the state
ment of Gen, Burnside unnecessary, but that it did
not profess to be a defence of his Course, but was
simply given to the court to make known the prin
ciples upon which he w&b acting. ,
Without concluding the argument, the court ad?
journed, at half past ten o’clock,.
GENERAL, BURNSIDE’S ORDER NO. 38.
Since the rfrrest of Mr. Vallandigham, the public
interest is excited as to the precise terms of General
Burnside’s Order No. 38. We subjoin the material
parts of the order: - ;
“Hereafter, all persons found within our lines
who commit acts for the benefit of the enemies of
the country, will be tried as spies.or traitors, and, if
convicted, will suffer death. This order includes
the following classes of persons : Carriers of secret
mails; writers of letters sent by secret mails ; secret
recruiting officers within our lineß; persons who
have entered into an agreement to pass our lines for
the purpose of joining, the enemy} persons found
concealed within our lines, belonging to the service
of the enemy, and in fact, all persons found impro
perly within our lines who could give private in
formation to the enemy; all persons within our lifies
who. harbor, protect, conceal, feed, clothe, or in any
way aid the enemies in our country. The habit of
declaring sympathy for the enemy will no longer be
tolerated in this department. Persons committing
such offences will, at once be arrested, with a view
to being tried as above stated, or sent beyond our
lines, into the lines of their friends. It must be dis
tinctly understood that treason, expressed or im
plied, will not be tolerated in this department. All
officers and soldiers are strictly charged with the
execution of this order.” - „

GEN. LEE’S ORDER OF CONGRATULATION
GENERAL ORDERS No. 59.
Headquarters Armt op Northern Virginia,
' May 7, 1663.
With heartfelt gratification the general command
ing expresses to the army his sense of the heroic
conduct displayed by and men during the
arduous operations in which they have just been
engaged.
Under trying vicissitudes of heat and storm you
attached the enemy, strongly entrenched in the
depths of a tangled wilderness; and again on the
hills of Fredericksburg, fifteen miles distant, and,
by .the valor that has triumphed on so many fields,
forced him once more to seek safety beyond the
.Rappahannock.
while this glorious victoiy.entitles r you to-the
TS’el^
only giver of victory for the signal deliverance He
has wrought.
It is, therefore, earnestly recommended that the
troops unite on Sunday next in ascribing to the
Lord of Hosts the glory due unto his name.
. Let us not forget in our rejoicing the brave sol
diers who have fallen in defence of their' country;
and while we mourn their loss let us resolve to emu
late their noble example.
The army and the country alike lament the ab
sence for a time of one to whose bravery, energy,
and skill, they are so much indebted for success.
The following letter from the President of the
Confederate States is communicated to the army as
an expression of his appreciation of its success:
“Ihave received your despatch, and reverently,
unite with you in giving praise to God for the suc
cess with which he has crowned our arms.

THE BATTLE OF CHANCELLORYILLE.
[From the Richmond Examiner, May 7. ]
On Thursday Hooker’s right wing had reached a
point near Spottsylvania Court House, his left rest
ing on the Rapidan, at Ely’s ford, and his centre on
Chancellorville, ten mileß southwest of Fredericks:.
burg. The hostile lines were atthi3‘time in close
proximity, and skirmishing was frequent. OnFriday
evening, about six o’clock, General Jackson at
tacked the enemy’s right flank, and r the flrst general
battle ensued. Gen. Rhodes, commanding Gen.D.
H. Hill’s old division, being on our extreme left,
began the fight. The enemy had, during Thursday
night, thrown up formidable breastworks to resist
an attack from the direction of Fredericksburg, but
bur forces advancing from a nearly opposite point,
they were, of course, worthless. The enemy finding’
himself outflanked, deserted his works without re
sistance, and fled toward Chancellorville. Night
coining on, the pursuit was discontinued.
During Saturday Jackson continued to press the
enemy’s right, whilst General-Lee assailed him in
front. On Sunday morning, shortly after midnight,
the hostile armies occupying lines parallel with the
plank road leadißg from Fredericksburg to Orange
Court House, the enemy advanced and delivered
battle. At this critical juncture General Jackson
received his wound.
After one of the most desperate and bloody fights,
which lasted from 10 o’clock on Sunday morning,
Hooker was beaten at all points, and fell back
toward Rapidan, at its] confluence with the Rappa
hannock, some 16 miles above Fredericksburg. .This
was the battle of Chancellorville.
While it was raging, Sedgwick, with an over
whelming force, advanced from the Rappahannock,
below Fredericksburg, upon Gen. Early, who, with
one division, held the heights of Fredericksburg.
After a short, but desperate resistance, Early was
compelled to retire toward Chancellorville, and
Sedgwick took possession of the; long* coveted,
heights. In this fight the enemy captured a number
of prisoners, and five guns of the Washington ar
tillery battalion. It is said that two entire compa
panies of the Washington artillery were taken..
When a reverse overtakes us, a scapegoat is never
wanting.
In this case, it is said, we could have held our po
sition, but for the pusillanimous conduct of sonic infan
fry regiments. We, however, believed our defeat at
this point to have been solely due to the odds
brought against us. The enemy’s triumph was des
tined to be short-lived. General McLaws being
sent to General Early’s assistance, in less than two
hours dislodged Sedgwick, and drove him into the
valley of the Rappahannock, recapturing (it is be
lieved) the guns before lost, whether Sedgwick re
treated to the town, or some other point below, we
have not been able to learn.
But in either event, General Bee having pushed
Hooker sufficiently to keep him quiet for the ba
lance of the day, turned hia troops toward Frede
ricksburg, determined to drive Sedgwick beyond the
river, and get rid of him. This he did j but, as we
learn, after the dearest bought victory of the day.
If our loss in the battle be as great as reported, onr
columns must have been subjected to the fire of the
enemy’s artillery planted on the Stafford Hills. In
the.series of battles our army captured some thirty
cannon, and some ten thousand prisoners, eight
thousand of which are said to have arrived at Gui
nesß’ Station. • . • / ; -
Among the casualties are the following: A. P.

THE BATEST.
Official information from Fredericksburg was yes
terday received to the following effect: Hooker left
two corps d’armee) under Sedgwick, on the Rappahan
nock, below Fredericksburg. With the main body
of his forces he crossed the Rappahannock and Rapi
dan. Sedgwick’s instructions were to cross the
river and attack Gen. Bee’s rear as soon as Hooker
should engage them in front. Sedgwick, for some
reason unknown, delayed his crossing beyond the
appointed time, and did not get. over until Hooker
was beaten, but yet- in time to prevent Gen. Bee
from pushing his victory. Hooker is at United
States Ford, fourteen miles below the confluence of
the Rappahannock and Rapidan, holding a strong
position and strongly intrenched, receiving heavy
reinforcements. s
STONEWABB JACKSON.
The death of Bieutenant General Thomas Jeffor
son Jackson (better known aB Stonewall Jackson)
is, perhaps, the greatest loss that has yet occurred
.to the rebels—the profoundest that could happen to
them in the death of one man. He was the fighting
right arm of the Confederacy, and in the crisis of the
rebel cause his great energy and enterprise were sal
vation and victory. We wonder if the Confederacy,
like Jackson, will lose its life through the loss of its
strong arm? Bee still remains, ageneral of eminent
* ability; but with Jackson departs its most active
military glory. General Jackson will always be
known as Stonewall Jackson, the stern Puritan
sobriquet which he won at the battle of Bull Run,
having long ago eclipsed his original name.” He re
ceived it” (says his father-imlaw, Rev. Dr. Junkin)
« from the fact that the hardest fight he had at Bull
Run was near to the stone bridge, which they had
blown up before the 21st of July. The Rockbridge
boys, almost all personally acquainted with him,
hence called him ‘ Stonebridge Jackson,’ which,
after the battle of Winchester, in whiohhe used
largely the stone fences which line the road and en
close the fields about three to four miles west of
Winchester, they changed to ‘ Stonewall.’”
Another version credits the origin of the title to
G enerai Bee, of South Carolina. His brigade was
giving way at one period of the battle of Manassasj
which circumstance pq distressed General liee that

, he exclaimed, with a world of agony in his voice,
“ Book I look! at my men falling back, while there
rfrtand General Jackson and his brigade as firm as a
stone wall!” He was shot a moment after, and did
not live to see his men rally and share the triumphs
of the Stonewall Biigade. The Stonewall Brigade
has still an organization, and was commanded at
the battle of Chancellorville by General Paxton,
who was killed in the same charge in which Jackson
received his fatal wound.
The famous rebel general waß born in Lewis
county, Virginia, in 1826. Left ah orphan at an
early age, he was enabled by a friend to enter 'West
Point, where he graduated in 1846, and was ap
pointed brevet second lieutenant in the 2d Artillery,
and served in Mexico with Magruder’s battery;
became second lieutenant August 2Q r 1847; was bre
veted captain for gallantry at Contreras and Cheru
busco, and major for gallantry at Chepultepec; re
signed February 29,1852, from impaired health, and
became a professor in the Military Institute at
Lexington, Virginia, where he married, as his first
wife, a daughter of the Rev. Dr. Junkin, president
of the ‘Washington College at that place, a loyal
clergyman of some note, who came North near the
time of the rebellion. Dr. .Tunkin’s daughter has
been dead eight years. Jackson’s second wife was
the daughter of Rev. Dr. Morrison, late president
of Davidson College, N. C., and sister-in-law to
Major Gen. Daniel H. Hill. His marriages ill us-•
irate his religious predilections; his piety was sin
cere and strong, and his religious enthusiasm waß a
great part in the purpose and action of his life. He
is Baid to have thoroughly believed in the cause for
which he fought. On the outbreak of the civil war
he was made a convert to the Confederacy, was ap
pointed colonel of a Virginia regiment, and after
the battle of M&rtinsburg became a brigadier.
From a sketch of Jackson, written early in th&
\var, we copy the following:
“Slis family , though by ho means wealthy, wad
one of extensive and influential ramifications: so
cially and politically their status has always been
high, even iir aristocratic Virginia,'and it was this
advantage, perhaps, which saved our hero from
neglect when he was turned upon the world a very
poor young orphan; for it was by family influence, ex
erted in behalf of his intellectual and moral promise,
that he was made a West Point cadet at the age of
seventeen. It was his own eoußin, Judge Jackson,
of the United StatesCourt,who escaped from Win
chester last month on the approach of Thomas Jef
ferson, recently petrified into 4 Stonewall.’
pertinacity in procuring his cadetship shows the
man. Being then a resident of Clarksburg, in West
ern Virginia, he walked from that place to Wash
ington, bearing with him letters of recommendation*
to the Congressional Representative of his district;
urging the claims of Jackson to a cadetship at West'
Point Academy. After some delay at the capital,
hia application was successful, and, with his com
mission in his pocket, he travelled on foot all the
way from the capital to West Point, there to re
ceive the rudiments of the science of Stonewall;
“He was graduated with high honors in the same
class with McClellan, just as the Mexican war broke
out, immediately entered service with Gen. Scott
as a brevet lieutenant, and was made full lieutenant
for gallant conduct in the memorable campaign from
Vera Cruz to Mexico.
“As for his outer man, he looks at least seven
years older than he is; his height is about five feet
ten inches ;-his figure thick set, square shouldered,
and l decidedly clumsy: his gait very awkward, stoop
ingVdfid*withliongstrides. Heoften walks withhis
. head somewhat on one side, and his eyes fixed upon
the ground, imparting-ferhis whole appearance that
abstracted quality which young ladies describe as
“absent-minded.” A lady, who has known him long
and well, has told me that she never saw him on
horseback without laughing—short atirrupa, knees
cramped up, heelß stuck out behindhand chin on his
breast—a- most unmilitary phenomenon. In society
he is quiet but cheerful; not loquacious, but intelli
gent and shrewd ; in religion the blueßt kind of a
Presbyterian, and extremely strict in his church ob
servances. In Winchester hefctook a very active
part in revivals, and habitually led the Union prayer
meetings.” -
A rebel writer describes General Jackßon as fol
lows : “ His appearance at first impresses you with,
the idea of great powers of endurance, strength, and ■
elasticity of frame. The expression of his face adds
to, rather than diminishes, the general effect.
There you see self-command, perseverance, indo
mitable will, that seems to know nor think of any
earthly obstacle, and all this without the least ad
mixture of vanity, aßsumacy, pride, fool-hardiness,
or anything of the kind. There seemß a disposition
to assert its pretensions, but from the quiet sense of
conviction of his relative position, which seta the
vexed question of Belf-importance at rest—a
peculiarity, I would remark, of great minds.
It is only the little and the frivolous who are for
ever obtruding their petty vanities before the
world. His face, also, expresses courage in
the highest degree, and his phrenological develop
ments indicate a vaßt amount of energy and activity.
His forehead is broad and prominent; the occipital .
and sincipital regions are both large and well ba
lanced: eyes expressing a singular union of mild
ness, energy, and concentration; cheek and nose
both long and well formed. Hiß dress is a common
gray suit of faded casaimere, coat, pants, and hat—
the coat slightly braided on the sleeve, just enough,
to be perceptible,<the collar displaying the mark of a
major general. Of his gait, it is sufficient to Bay
that he just goes along , not a particle of the* strut,
the military swagger, turkey-gobbler parade, bo
common among officers of. small rank and'smaller
minds. Itwould be .a profitable Btudy for some of
our military swells to devote one hour each day to
the contemplation .of-the- magnificent plainness ot~~
[ To military &me, whic^ rt
child, the straightforwardness of a Western farmer.
On last'Sunday he was dreesed as above, and be
strode as.common a horse as one could find ina sum
mer day. There may be those who would be les3
struck with hia appearance, as thus accoutred, than
if bedizened with lace, and holding the reins of a
magnificent- barb, caparisoned and harnessed for
glorious war. But to one who had Been him at Cold
Harbor and Malvern Hill, in the reign of shells and
the blaze of the death-lights of the battle-field, when
nothing less. than a mountain would serve as a
breastwork against the 36-inch sheila which howled
and shrieked through the sickly air, Gen. Jackson
in tatters would be the same hero as Gen. Jackson
in.gilded uniform. In my simple view, he is a non
pareil—he is without a peer. He has enough energy
to supply a whole manufacturing district—enough,
military genius to stock two or three military schools
of the size of West Point.”
“Stonewall Jackson” (wrote, we think, a dis
tinguished loyal clergyman who had seen the South- ■
ern leaders) “is a great man and a good man, though
a rebel. He believes he is right. He is well de
veloped morally; has a great intellect, and great
originality. He is bold, courageous, ignores the
usual rules, and is more like Bonaparte than any
one else in either army, but, of course, is not so
great. Every time we have been seriously threat
ened he did it. No one else has done it. He is,
comparatively, half the power of the South. I
wish he had been the commander of the Army of
the Potomac. He is a noble man, very talented,
and has great capacities as a general. The first time
. Isawhis face my heart sunk within me. The South
is strong with him. One such man can hardly be
over-estimated. Hiß moral brain, as a whole, is
splendid. He is really a religious man, and the
stronger for this.”
The following is from a Northern correspondent:
“ The interest excited by this Btrange man'is as
curious as it is uprecedented. A classmate of Mc-
Clellan’s at Weßt Point, and there considered slow
and heavy, unfavorably known in Washington as a
hypochondriac and malade he has exhibit
ed for thelast ten months qualities which were little
supposed to reside in. his rugged and unsoldierlike
frame, but which will hand hiß name down for
many a generation in the company of those great
captains whom men will not willingly let die.
More apt for the. execution than conception of
great movements, leaning upon General Lee as
the directing brain, and furnishing the. promptest
hand, the most dauntless heart, the most ascetic
and rigorous self-denial, the greatest rapidity and
versatility of movement, as his contributions to
wards the execution of General Lee’B strategy,
his recent operations in turning General. Pope’s
right, and passing with a force believed not to
exceed 30,000 men to the rear of such an army, massed
close to its base of operations, and in. the act of
receiving daily large, reinforcements, command uni
versal wonder and admiration. It is said that,
like Hannibal, he is accustomed, to live among his
men without distinction of dress, without greater
delicacy of fare, and that it is almost impossible, on
this account, for a Btranger to recognize or distin
guish him Among them. Every despatch from
his hand has, as its exordium, 4 By the blessing of
God.’ Continual are the prayer meetings which he
■ holds among his men, invoking a blessing upon his
arms before the battle, and returning thanks
servation, and (as it haß rarely failed ta happen) for
Victory after it iB over. In fact, they who have Been
him and heard him uplift his voice in prayer, and
then have witnessed hia vigor and prompt
in the strife, say that once again Cromwell is walk
ing the earth and leading his trusting and enrap
tured hosts to assured victory. It iB not necessary
to add that Jackson’s men idolize and trust their
leader enthusiastically, and have the most implicit
faith in his conduct, otherwise the bold and daring
steps which he has frequently taken, and from which
he has never failed to come off triumphantly, would
have been utter impossibilities;”
Thus far both loyal and rebel concur in Stone
wall Jackßon’s panegyric.. His crime was the crime
of his cause, whose religion and idea are based upon
moral and political wrong.

THE NEW YORK UNION' LEAGUE CLUB
HOUSE.—The house of the Union League Club—
the residence of the late Mr. parish, oh Union
square—was opened last evening, for the first time,
to its members and their friends. The house has
been newly decorated and furnished, and was fitted
up for the occasion with banners and shields, bear
ing the names of. the great battles of the rebellion,
in admirable taste, and was gay with a profusion of
the choicest flowers; 1 The crowd that filled the spa
cious rooms were entertained with music anti occa
sional speeches from Mr. Bancroft and other distin
guished citizens. This new club is an association of
gentlemen, and ao far is a private association. It
is, however, a growth of the times orginating in the
necessity that was felt of having some such organi
zation in which unswerving loyalty to the country
should be the first requisite of membership, and
where incivism should not be tolerated, but
should be marked as disreputable. It is hardly ne
cessary to add, that it represents the highest charac
ter ol the city. It would be well if the example
thus set should be followed on a smaller scale in the
formation of ward clubs, organized on the same
principle, and within the meanß of all classes.
Great good maybe done by such associations in the
establishment ofj reading-rooms, in bringinggloyal
men iDto intimate social relations with each other.
The club house may be made the nursery of public
virtue, as the grog-shop has hitherto been the fruit
ful source of political and private vice.—A T . Y, Tri
