Four rebel conscripts came into the lines 'there, and were kindly treated. Their tale was a sirople One, unvarnished by rhetoric or flattery, and was believed by all who listened to its recital. Forced into the Confederate service, ill used, mis trusted, poor fare, and bad pay, made them conclude that they might -do better by deserting, and joining the Union army, while they were satisfied they could hot jnake their condition'worse by the exchange. PHILADELPHIA FR’iDAY, MAY 15, 1863. DEPARTMENT OF VIRGINIA. Exciting News from Cliairleston—l>eatli of Gen, Stonewall Jackson, [Special Correspondence of The Press.! . . Fortress Monroe, May 13, 1863. Three British men-of-war lie anchored in Hampton. Roads. Their trips to Charleston are made with -provoking regularity, and when they return they have little or no intelligence ,to impart; whether they give the rebels as little news we cannot cor rectly determine. H. B. M. steam corvette Rinaldo steamed rapidly up tlie Roadß this morniQg, and dropped her anchor in the middle of the stream, op posite the fort, andinclOEe proximity to her dark hulled neighbors, with the bully names—Desperate and Challenger. Through the kindness of Mr. Ainsworth, who tendered a tug, I was enabled to board her, but could procure no Charleston papers for love or money, though I learned that they had not been permitted to go past Sumpter; that the monitors were still atPort Royal, and the residue of the fleet at their wonted stations. Great, sorrow was manifested in Charleston because of General Jackson’s death; flags fluttered at half-mast, and crape displayed. No wonder they mourn—for in Gen. Jackson they experience the lobb of a host. He expired at Guinea, Va., or Sun day; the-10th inst., at S P. M. His body has since been conveyed to RichmondrThe following obituary is copied from the Charleston Daily Courier of May 11: - tidings of a personal loss that , could reach our readers would cause deeper and more general and sincere sorrow than will be felt on learning the death ofGenefal Thomas J Jackson. His wounds andean attack of pneumonia .have resulted fatally, as a despatch' informs our readers. The greatest and best men must die, and may die often when, in all human judgment, their work is but well begun. The cause lives on; and the cause for which Jackson labored and won his deathless fame; and for which dying, we doubt not, he uttered the last syllables, from lips that had been well trained to prayer, is under the favor of God beyond all necessary com plicity, with the lives or fortunes of individuals. Johnson’and Jackson! The greatest of our martyr ed generals. The cause for which they devoted their lives ,is well worthy of all the efforts, toils, and sacrifices, which may be required of. others. Let us thank God for their example, and especially for the brilliant example of a Christian hero, patriot, and general, affbrded in the life and career of Jackson. Let us honor tbeir names with due sorrow, but more fittingly and lastingly with imitation, and let us resolve, God favoring and blessing us, to Bhow that they have not fought and died in vain.” This will be melancholy tidings for his aged and patriotic father-in-law, Rev. Dr. Junkin, who fled from his home in Richmond, and iB now a refugee in your. city. The loyal father-in-law still lives ; the flag he loved so well, and for which he suffered so’ much, still waves. The rebel son-in-law is dead, and.the'Confederacy he fought for not established. Bountiful harvests are expected in the South. Harvesting is about to commence, in Borne localities immediately. A correspondent from Selma, Ala bama, Bays the product of the coming harvest will be immense. Among the Yankees captured by Gen. Forreat in his late raid were many men who were citizens of Southern States. The Courier' hopes the Governors of the several States will promptly make demands for’the retention and trial of these traitors under State laws. It will be worse than idle mockery to •turn them loose on exchange. The Columbia South Carolinian says flour is com ing down ; it is now $lO a sack. Some sharp trans actions in that line are mentioned, where flour was procured for the reasonable price of $3O or $4O per barrel. How this would startle some of our econo mical housekeepers. Gen. jLee has issued a lengthy order, dated May Bth, congratulating the troops under hia command for\ bravery, and 4 telling them their success was well earned. The steamer Spaulding proceeded thiß morning up James river. iFhev rebel force on the Biackwater town or West Point, thoughT have hearcTS’?&?fi)fe- that Longstreet would soon be there. > TUB REBEL ARMY. Richmond papers of Friday and Saturday furnish a number of interesting articles, which abound in comic falsehood. Contradiction is unnecessary, ex cept in the rebel summary of losses. To the certain knowledge of one of the most reliable correspond ents, the national forces captured, and possess over 4,500 prisoners, There can be no question that theif loss, at least, will fully equal ours. The Richmond Sentinel , of Friday, says that Gene ral Hooker took advantage of the furious storm' of ■Wednesday evening, and “• run.*’ Theilxaminer, of the same date, declares that had Gen. Hooker been con tent to have-keid the Fredericksburg Heights , and his position on the left, Gen . Lee must have fallen back de feated. _A glorious victory was, indeed, just within our grasp. The Whig, of Saturday, confirms the.death of Vart Dorn, who died at Spring,. Hill, Tena., on the 7th in&t. ~lt makes ho reference to the cause or manner ■'of his ignominious exit. -• CAPTURED ARMS—GOSSIP OF YANKEE PRISONERS. [From the Richmond Examiner, Saturday; ] The last of the trains just mentioned came from. Hamilton’s Crossing. : In a conversation with Capt. Btakey, the mail agent, we heard some interesting details. At Hamilton’s Crossing there are more muskets piled on either side of the road than have ever;been seen together since the war.. They were left on the battlefields by the Yankees, and many thousands more there are which have not yet been collected. The number of cannon captured by our army is not yet known, but it is said to be over fifty. It is doubtful whether the pieces taken from the Wash ington Artillery were recaptured. It is moat pro bable the enemy hurried them to the rear, that they might hereafter be paraded as trophies and boasted over. The Yankee prisoners admit that they were aw* fullj beaten, but say that it was owing to the fact, which they never.cease to proclaim, that they have no generals. They believe their troops are as good as ours, but that we beat them by the superior skill' of our generals. Many of the prisoners say that Hooker fell, or waß knocked from his horße, during, the battle of Sunday. They know nothing more than that they, saw him fall. This was, doubtless, the origin of the story that he had been wounded, and had his leg taken off. One'of the Yankee officers brought to this city told a gentleman who was in conversation with him that Burnside was not beaten at Fredericksburg,:.he was repulsed, but that Hooker had gotten “ perhaps 'the d—dest drubbing that ever a general had.” All our troops are jubilant over what they consider as beyond all comparison the greatest victory of the war. They say the victory of the 13th of December was not a circumstance to it. We have omitted to mention that the Yankee offi cers sent down on Thursday night were put into the ladies’ cars, while the lop of the same cars were covered with our wounded. The scoundrels should be madeto walk to Richmond , if well enough, and if hot, to remain where they are until (he last one of our wounded ■ has beeribrought doiim. THE RESPECTIVE ROSSES. From a surgeon who left Fredericksburg on Thurs day, we learn that the surgeons in General Lee’s army make the following': approximate of our loss in the recent battles : "Wounded .7,000 Ki11ed........ . 900 Missing...,. ............................1,200 The estimate is liberal, and it is believed that our actual loss will fall below, rather than exceed, that Bum. The enemy’s loss is more a subject of conjecture, but from the number of dead that encumber the ground for miles about Ohancellorville and Fredericksburg, and the prisoners now on their way to Richmond; it is believed that it must be between twenty and.twenty-five thousand. THE LAST PASSAGE OF THE RAPPAHAN NOCK. The Rappahannock has been passed, probably for the last time, by the grand Army of the Potomac. It is scarcely possible that the successor of Gen. Ju das Hooker will again attempt to carry it on to Richmond by the mail route. Where the Army of the Potomac will next turn its dismal steps, and where it will next be beaten, is yet unknown. Tt is certain, however, that it must move somewhere. From the beginning of the war to this hour it has led the life of that famous “ Joe,” whose name and fate have been rendered familiar to the world by the most popular of living writers : “ This boy,” says the constable, “ though he has been repeatedly 'told to, ivon’l move on.” “I’m always moving on, sir,” cried the boy, wi ping away his grimy tearß with Ms arm. “I’ve al ways been a moving and a moving on ever since I was born. .Where canT possibly move to, sir, more nor I do move?” . “ He won’t move on,” says the constable, calmly, “although’ he has been repeatedly cautioned, and, therefore, I am obliged to take him: into custody. He’s as obstinate a young gohoph as I know. He won’t move on.” “-0 my eye! Where can I move to?” cries the boy. quite desperately, clutching at his hair.” ( Tnis interrogatory cry of poor Joe might be adopted and uttered -with heartfelt earnestness by the Grand Army of the Potomac, when next it is taken into custody by,tHe Hei-ald or the Times, and sternly told to move on, by Lincoln. Where, indeed! No army ever made such a variety of movemento; all have'been equally unsatisfactory. Wherever it has moved on, no matter where, or which way, it has, moved to a beating. No Booner had it come into existence, than it heard, in tones of thunder, the order, “Onto Richmond !” It moved on—to Manassas. It.has been “a movin on” con tinually since, aud to similar purpose. The Grand Army of the. Potomac has never achieved a success. It kasbetnpcriodicaUy defeatedfen’ two years; and cannot, without such lying as would hurt the con science of a prostitute; claim a single victory. The.an ?ials of history •may be searched in vain for another mili tary organization which has been/paid more;supplied more , recruited 'more, deserted more, moved on more , , been more whipped, or which has -run away such a mon - j sfreus ntimficr of times. On All these points; it may proudly claim a pre-eminence over the most famouß failures of recorded memory; What will become of it now? Must;it be thrashed any more? Are its legs equal to. yet another race? Oau 2.40 be gotten' out of it again ? i ; -. What, too, will become of Judas Hooker? He be trayed his master, like the other Judas, and like him, the only thing the “ reward of iniquity” has. gained for him, has been tbiß new Aceldama—this modern Field of Blood. Will he go out, like his pro totype, and hangbimuelf there! The prisoners say they saw him falling from his horse. Bid he, too, there “burst asunder in the midst, all his bowels gushing out?” Fortunate is he if it were so. No form of sudden death wouldnot be preferable to the iiifa mous depths of disgrace into which he will uow tumble. After betraying and disgracing McClellan Burnside, Sumner, Franklin, and everything that wears even the outside ,of honor in the Yankee army; after declaring to his nation that all their failures were simply want of generalship; after thrusting himself forward as the true man of the hour ; alter having received In superfluity every thing that the wildest fancy could crave; taking his own time; without a scapegoat or an excuse possi ble—he is to-day the worst whipped commander this continent has known.

In a notice of the career and death of this un scrupulous reb£l, the following, which concerns his part in the outbreak of the war, is related of him ; : “When he arrived at New Orleans, with the Star of the V eat, having on; board a strong force of Texas volunteers, ‘ eager for the fray,’Van Dorn conceived a characteristic adventure, which he is understood to have applied to the Confederate Go vernment (then holding its seat at Montgomery) for permission to execute. He proposed to run up 'along side of Fort Pickens, with, the stars and stripes flying at his masthead, and pretending that he had been sent by the United States Governments to ob tain an entrance with his Texans into the fort, and tlien to take possession of it in the name and for the us * r Confederacy. But the proposition was not favorably received by the Confederate President, much to the disappointment and chagrin of Van Dorn, to whom such an adventure would have been but a labor of love.” REPORTS FROM THE RAPPAHANNOCK.

Cincinnati, May 14. —The rebel position in Ten nessee is thus described by a correspondent of the Atlanta Confederacy: “ Our right rests at McMinn ville, and the line extends thence westward to Man chester, and Shelbyville, to Columbia; it forms an arc of a large circle, curving slightly to ward the south, while the rear extends as far south as Estelle Springs. Our right flank is protected by Elk creek, Canny Fork, with its numerous tributa nes, abrupt peaks of the Cumberland mountains, and several thousand daßhing, dauntless cavaliers, under, chivalrous, impetuous John Morgan. Our left is sheltered by Duck river, and by the bravery and vigilance oi General Van Dorn and his devoted followers.” NORTH ALABAMA.

It is supposed they are destined to reinforce Grant, The Whig newspaper office was destroyed by fire this afternoon. The origin of the fire is unknown. Among the Yankees captured by Forrest, are many citizens or natives of Southern States, We hope the Governors o! the several States will promptly make demand for the retention and trial of these traitors under State laws. It will be worse than idle mockery to turn them-loose on exchange.

One that was killed said they were sent from a large war party, who would be at the Agency, a few miles above Mankato, in three days, if they did not return. “Troops have been sent to guard against any at tack, but the settlers are much alarmed. A portion of the Winnebagoes have been brought to Mankato, preparatory to removal.

[Great applause.] Men say he has faults—faults whichsomeof his predecessors did not have, [Ap plause and Perhaps he has, but in my opinion a diamond with a flaw is better than a pebble without. [Renewed applause,]. I. do not set one defeat against him ; I think, as my Lord Bacon says, “that a soldier’s honor should be of a strong web which r slight matters won’t stick to.” I believe Hooker is of that kind; He means to fight j he knows howto fight, and these two are new ele ments at the head of the army. [Applause and three cheers for General Hookeri] Now, on the other side of the Rappahannock—why, ho w pleasant Hooker’s reign has .been! Instead of that cradle lullaby, that we used to hear a . year ago, there comes how to us—all is not quiet on the banks of the Rappahannock; [Applause and laughter.] On the other side there are three elements. Lee means to fight.; he knows how to fight; he iB deadly in earnest. The Government, when it sent Hooker to the front, sent there a man who mean? to fight, who knows how to fight; and when last week they sum moned Sigel to his side—[applause]—they put ear nestness to the front also. I look upon it as the first, drop or the coming shower. We have had men that neither know how to fight, nor meant to fight no ability. Now we have, got ability. To match the other Bide we want earnestness, ideas, a willing ness to sacrifice everything; a readiness to accept the issue, And courage and an industry in thinking. —Speech in Neiv York on Monday. .

The enemy’s army has not been able to advance a single foot, in spite of .their efforts. We maintain our line in the blocks of houses,. Oav troops feet a perfect conviction that Puebla will.not be taken by the French army., With this conviction they rest upon their arms, constantly pointed against the enemy, loaded with thr*e bullets, and armed with the bayonet.- . The French army, according to prisoners and our spies, is convinced that it will not take Puebla, because every house is a barricade, and every block a castle. The entrenchments of our first line of defence are ten meti es thick. Every block, outside and inside, has two linos of these entrenchments. Tho second line of blocks of houses is fortified in the same manner, and so with the third. - • The peaceable portion of the population carry on their business under the projectiles of the enemy, for they are accustomed to them, after 30,000 which have been show ered upon the city and its defenders. The fires which they cause are extinguished immedi ately. - • . In the city there are eaten every kind of fresh meat, and other fresh provision?, which are brought from out side, deceiving the vigilance of the besiegers;-.. Of the other articles of food there is of all kinds, and the best furnished tables have had to make but few reductions. •Charcoal is scarce,.but the beams of the buildings that have been destroy ed, and those'that have made a heap of ruins, are more than sufficient.

As tlie enemy’s forces Wetl sepfluuted by large spaces of ground, Col- Brincourt ordered liis attack in such a man ner that, while he cut oif their retreat by occupying a bridge, he could be fighting them in detail- His plan succeeded admirably.

Yesterday,tat noon, the enemy was observed in the plain' Eituatcd between AtlixcoSand the declivity of San Jaau Tianguismsnaico,'and a fight took place between our cavalry and a part of the in/antry with the enemy’s force, composed of artillery, cavalry, and infantry.. In the beginning, the enemy succeeded in obtaining some advantage over our cavalry, on which account I or dered the batrallion of infantry sent to their support to fail back to the position which I bad previously selected to give or resist an engagement. Then the enemy formed in infantry column, advanced upon onrposition as far as the. foot of the declivity of Tianguisman&lco, opening upon us a fire of artillery. > This was not answered for half an hour, with the hope that they would advance within musket range; hut not having done so, their fire was answered by our artillery, and immediately they retreated to Atlixco. The result of the combat was that we remained masters of the field, there having fallen into our power about 500 head of cattle, mules, and horses, about 300 sheep, about SO Arabian liOxotJ, and several arms. Such a result could not be obtained, as was’natural, without some misfortunes, of which I.will inform you when 1 receive the accounts of the commanders of the forces that fought on that day. \~ •. , In virtue of the instructions that you wore pleased to give me, I returned last night to this place, where I ar .rived.&t 10 o’clock.--'Liberty and Reform/ MIGUEL.MaRIA ECHEAGARAY, Sax Buexaventdea, April 15,1563—5 A.

They afterwards opened a breach iu the block or the hospital, where a French column entered, which was met.by our forces, and, after a rather severe fight, the French had to run away from the block, without being able to collect their dead, wounded, and arms, owing to the severity of our fire. They; have five or six blocks in the vicinity of San Javier, but they have not been able to penetrate any further'; and Gonzales Ortega, Conimander-in- Chief of the Army of ihe East, has determined, that, if they take Puebla, it shall be its ruins, disputing every, block with them as if it were a fortress.
