Some 7 , miles from town the rascals shot Lloyd Andrew Castle and Albert Roby, killing the two first instantly, and wound ing the other, who feigned death and is now recovering. Lloyd Bell stood up like a brave man, as he was, after he was shot through the body, and did not fall till he was pierced with four balls. On Tuesday evening the rebels all left in the direction of Fairmont on the West side of the riv er, and We liaire seen'hone of them since, except . except, two prisoners.

It is reported that the rebel loss was 100, but nothing certain is known as to the num ber. The splendid Railroad bridge, one 'Mile east of Fairmont, was destroyed by • flalitibk. It was the best and mosCeipeu .sive one on the road. After gutting some of tbe stores at Fairmont, they left and are now said to be at Phillippi, numbtring some 5 to 80D0. • The B. & 0.

This Union has lived and grown under the brOad shield of that moral and intellectual freedom which makes earth, sea and sky subservient to our purposes as freemen.— And we cannot have or enjoy them unless we can think and express our thoughts one to another. If we cannot or dare not do this, we are among the lowest slaves.-- Therefore, -13eielqd, In the language of !lon. :Wm. Seward, Secretary of State, that "it is a habit not only entirely consistent with the Constitution, but even essential to its A:La bility, to regard the Administration at any time existing as distinct and separate from the Government itself, and to canvass the proceedings of the one without a thought of disloyalty to the other." 2. That being a peace-loving; and law abiding 'arty, we love to hear all parties express their political sentiments and leave the calm judgment of the people to decide at the ballot-box which is right. 34.

At four o'clock:the fight againmom menced, and lasted until ten o'elctek yesterday forenoon,when the enemy's batteriee, beeaglC silent and the wild est . cheerlng . commenced on our ex tremeright and ran along the ,whole line. When our informant left,the pre vailing opinion was that the enemy's ammunition was exhausted, or they had been attacked by Hooker's left wing, the force under Sedgwiek, which crossed below Frederickburg Another gentleman who was with our forces in Fredericksburg, says General Sedgwick succeeded in reachin4 the key to the whole line of monster rebel works in Fredericks burg before day dawned yesterday, Sunday, morning. The rebels opened a most terrific fire. At the first shock some regiments wavered at seeing their commanding officers falling around them, but the skillful and dashing Col. Sharley, by his cool daring and personal example, railed the column and led it into the rebel works, carrying the key. and with it the whole line, .at 'bayonet ,charge, with a yell heard above the shock of arms, As soon as the principal work of the day was ,ea#ictl, 'about eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon, the whole rebel force in and around Fredericksburg made a hasty retreat out upon the plank road towards Chancellorsville, in the direction of Lee's main army. The slaughter at Chancellorsville is estimated to be large on both sides. Among the killed is General Berry, of Maine. General Howard was wounded while endeavoring to rally some German regiments which wa vered on §unday before heavy masses pf the enemy. We captured many large guns, am mtiniti.m, stores, and, up to yester day noon, about two thousand pris. Politscrjpt Our adviees from the field up to noon to-day are that the victory of Gen. Hooker's army is more com plete than at first supposed. All that the most sanguine could hope for has been realized. The losses are very heavy. We congratuls to the army and'eountry upon the suc cess of this important movement, which is merely the precursor to still greater successes, Results of the Tot° Days flOpes. The Times sums up the news as follows: —Two of our corresponderts with Hooker's army arrived in the city on Monday, bringing ~tbp latest intelligence from the field of battle. Gen. Hooker had thrown his army across the Rappahannock, taken a po sition on the left ofthe rebel entrench ments at Fredericksburg, thus com pelling the enemy to leave his defen ses and fight on the ground which Hooker himself had chosen, and had fought t .vo of the severest and blood iest battles of the war without a4ain ing any absolqtely decisive result, bu*, achieving such successes as render the enemy's defeat certain. Reeovering himself with masterly priimptithde from what was well-nigh a crushing disaster on Saturdui , night, when Jackson succeeded in tprn ing our right wing, and routing our 11th corps, the battle was renewed on Sunday, and, though not absolntely decisive, yet has put decidedly on the winning side. The battle is to the rebels by fur the bloodiest they have yet had, while our sacrifice is much less. We have taken four thousand prisoners, with the loss on our side of not a tenth of that number. The rtsult on Sunday's operations on the left is still more brilliant.— The powerfully defended heights in the rear of 'Fredericksbutt, the at tempt to take which cost us so dear ly last December, gyve, by the move ment of ChancellorsFille, been turned, and after being gallantly assailed by Sedgtvick's corps, are now ours. The rebel army is now, tberefur, between two columns, separated but by an in terval of five miles, the one a hun dred thousand strong, the other twenty thousand. It will be straoge it, between the upper and the nether mill-stone, the accursed thing is net ground to atoino. The Late Battles. PHILADELPHIA, May . 6.—A Wash ington letter in the Press says: It is conceded on all hands that Gen eral Hooker's strategy is the deepest yet displayed by any of our Gener als., No one can divine his objects, and it is even said that, with the ex ception of his immediate staff and corps commanders, no one is con- Versant with them. His plan in occu pying the rohel - force on his right so well, until Gen. Sedgwick captured Fredericksburg with Comparatively small loss, is universally praised.— Lee was completely taken by sur prise, expecting that the movement was only a feint to withdraw his at tention from Hooker's right. So it was, but the move was so formidable, and. threatening, as it did, 'the coln tifunicition to Richmond, the Seizure of whielt was the main object of Turbside at the .first battle of ?rid ericksbiirg, that Lee `detached a consto*able • foice I„o.4'etake the beigh,t4i.

The position was'brilliant• l)7 ,carried by storm to-day by. Pratt's glorious light division of the Sixth Army Corps, .captuiing two whole regiments of rebels, I,lle I.f.ith and IStii . MisSisSippi, one company of the famous Washington artillery of New Orleans, and part of Alexander's ar tillery, including in all eight guns and nearly one thousand prisoners. The storming forces were aided by Gen. Upon, of the Second Army Corps, who, with a force came upon the flank and rear of the enemy, plating the AMerican Flag upon their works before they had actually ceased firing upon our chargin ,, col umn. The captures were complete. General Seegwick afterward en gaged the enemy and drove him back. At six p. m. he had ad7anced to the brick church, four miles and a half out on the plank-road toward Chancelloraville. Here he had use vere engagement with Early's divis ion reinforced by troops from Lee, but he repulsed them, and sent in another lot of prisoners. The enemy is now hemthed in be tween _Hooker and Sedgwiek, and will, no doubt, fight with desperate tenacity, to extricate himself from his desperate position, but the ad vantage seems to rest decidedly with us. •••••• Bad News from Gen.

The order for retreat was a surprise ; as it was believed to be the determin'ati6n to march out and attack the rebels in front. The crossing comenced at 10 o'- clock on Tuesday eight.

The rebel batteries occupied all the advantageous positions and tired vigorously upon Gen. Hooker's camp, but disappeared us soon as our bat teries were opened on them. At a consultation of tho Corps commanders it was decided that the enemy was too powerful. General Sedgioick jailed to join Gen. Hooker, and, being hard pressed, crossed the Rappahannock to prevent annihila r tion—his experiment costing six thou ulnd men. Gen. Sedgwiek's reptilse, added to the weak counsels of Gen. Hooker's corps commanders, shook his con fidence; and in a fatal moment he gave the order to evacuate his strong position and his fortified camp, and to retreat. The arriy was not panic stricken, but greatly demoralized by this inglorious retreat. There was no time from Friday morning to Mon day night but what Hooker could have attacked and defeated Lee's army, but ho lacked the ahili 7 ty to give the order.

I•'., Ander son Cavalry. Aged 22 years, 4 months and U days. lie was induced, when young, to give his heart to . God, and united with the M. E. Church, at Tillery chapel, Hills boro, where he lived a faithful member, his seat seldom being vacant at public preaching, in the Class Room, or at the Sabbath School. When his country needed his services, thlugh of delicate constitution, he willingly- stepped forward and enlisted in his Country's cause. But alas! his warfare was soon ended and he is gone, where the war will be heard of no more. During his service in the army he ma intained his christian character, and was beloved by all associated with him. Thus another young and promising youth has fallen a victim in consequence of this unholy rebellion, and fond parents, sisters and brothers, with a large circle of friends, are made to mourn and weep over the loss of a loved son, brother and friend. But they mourn not •as those without hope, for they have the assurance that he con tiMit•d faithful to the end. One of his comrades who, attended him to the last, has said that Sa'nuel had set a good ex ample to those with whom •be was sur rounded. God has taken him from the evils to come to a better home. The re- maips of our Brother were brought home fur interment, and on last Wednesday (April 22nd) were followed by a very large and deeply solemn concourse of r e lativ es , friends and neighbors, to the burying ground, where he now rests. Thus passed away from earth, one no• ble, pious and brave—a true friend—a christian brother—we mourn and yet look up, he lives in heaven. M. W. Z.

As a neighbor, he was valued for Lie upright and obliging character; as a husband and father; for his tender and affectionate care, and unselfish devotion to the duties of those relations. But his surviving friends do not mourn as those who have no hope. For a considerable time before his last sickness his mind had been especially occupied with the subject of religion, and during his sickness lie ex pressed regret to his family that he had not made a public profession of religion, and assured them that, if his life should be spared, he intended to do.so, and enter fully upon all the duties of the Qbristian life. Iris remains were attended to their last resting place by a large number of citizens and the Masonic Fraternity, of whose body he was a worthy and honored mem her. W. t P a tCOD4. L W.
