In Motion.
At length the Army of the Rappahannock,
with Fighting Joe at its head, is in motion.—
The National Intelligencer of the 28th says :
"We shall not be announcing anything, ire
presume, not already known in the city, when
we state generally that Gen. Hooker commen
ced, at daybreak yesterday morning, a for
ward movement. Heavy masses of artillery
and other troops were crossing the river at
sunrise."
This, we presume, is perfectly reliable, and
we may look out for srirring news in a very
short time. If General Lee's forces have not
retired from the vicinity of Fredericksburg, a
battle may even now be going en d or have al
ready been fought. -
Row the Government Rewards its De
fenders.
Forney has a long chapter in the Washing
ton Monkle on this subject, in which he eulo
gizes the generosity- of the administration
towards the brave defenders of the country.—
Wo know one or two instances in which this
generosity was manifested, which are not no
ticed by the official organ. General M'Clellan,
who twice saved Washington and defeated Lee
at South Montain and Antietam, has been re
tired from active service. Gen. Buell, who
defeated all the attempts of the rebel , Generals
With forces superior to his own, to surround
or defeat him in Tennessee, and won the hard
fought battle of Shiloh or Pittsburg Landing,
has been relieved of his command and placed
before a court of inquiry, on charges emana
ting from enemies jealous of his fame and am
bitious to take his place. Porter, than whom
a braver or more loyal soldier never drew a
sword, who defeated the rebels at Hanover
Court House and was conspicuous in all the ,
bloody battles on the Peninsula, was coavided
against the evidence by it packed court martial,
maligned by a partial Judge Advocate, and
dismissed the service by order of a weak and
unjust President. These are some of the in
stances of generous treatment received by gal
lant and loyal officers from the administration,
which Forney has overlooked. -
Humiliation and prayer.
In the President's proclamation set ting apart
Thursday, the 30th of April, as a day of hu
miliation and prayer, occurs this paragraph :
"Let us, then, rest humbly in the hope,
authorized by the Divine teachings, that the
united cry of the nation will be heard on high,
and answered with blessings, no less than the
pardon of our national sins, and the restora
tion of our now divided and suffering country
to its format happy condition of unity and peace."
To show 'what the Puritan friends of the ad
ministration think of this proclamation, and in
what manner they will probably observe the
day, we quote the following comments on the
proclamation from the Boston Commonwealth,
a paper started under the auspices of Senator
Sumner, Wendell Phillips, and others of that
class, whose organ it is. That paper says:
4 , Is it not a cool assumption of the Presi
dart that the pardon of our national sine has
any kind of connexion with the restoration of
our c)untry to its former happy condition of
• unity and peace ? Our own opinion is that if
Gcd had resolved not to pardon us at all, He
would prove it by allowing the restoration of
that old unity and peace.' That unity was
crime ; that peace worse than war."
And again:
May the tongue be withered, ere it is an
swered, that prays for a restoration of that
old state of things from which God in his
mercy seems willing to rescue us—than which
his fiercest wrath could find no more, terrible
doom for a blind nation led by blind rulers."
Yet these men, who burn the Constitution at
their 4th of July celebrations, and pray for
curses upon those who beseech God to restore
the Union and peiee, are "loyal men," "pa
triots," forsooth, while the Democracy of the
country, who, to a man, are true to . the Union
and the Constitution, are denounced as "a-al
tars" and " Copperheads," merely because
they refuse to support the wicked and treason
able measures which Sumner and others have
forced the administration to accept.
Repulse on the Coldwater.
For some days past there have been rumors
in the papers, from repel sources, that our
troops had sustained a repulse on Coldwater
river. A letter in the' Cincinnati Enquirer,
from a member of the Fifth Ohio Cavalry, da
ted at Memphis April 21, confirms the report.
and gives, besides, an account of the death of
a brave officer, Major Hayes, and a report of
the death of Col. Bryant, of the Twelfth Wis
c:nßia. On Sunday morning, the 19th, at the
head of his two hundred cavalry, he charged
400 rebel cavalry, capturing 80 men and drove
the rest across the river. After which says
the letter ,
°'hiie-railyisg ha pen to another charge,
'in riding up and._ dawn the line on his gray
. ..horse, which made him a conspicueueanark for
.the, enemy's . sharp- shoofers;.- he, - id making a
sudden turn to call the -then to follow him, re
ceived his death wound by a Minie ball through
the .small of his back, the same coming through
his left side in front. He was carried to the
nearest house, and died yesterday, and thus
fell the most gallant Hayes, the only field offi
cer the Fifth 0. V. C. ever had. Peace to his
ashes ! I am indebted for these particulars to
Lieutenant Dempster and Tom Lemmon. The
Twelfth Wisconsin Infantry and Seventh Ohio
battery (Barnap's) were with him. I have
just learned this from the Sutler of the Fifty
third Indiana, whose regiment has just been
got ready to march to the scene of action.
"The Twelfth Wisconsin and Burnap's bat
tery were driven back four miles yesterday,
and Col. Bryant, of the Twelfth, isereported
killed.
"Three regiments were sent to reinforce them
this morning, and horses for Burnap's battery,
who lost nearly every horse in his battery.
"In the camp, one mile and a half from town,
the firing of cannon has been heard all
The rebels are supposed to be 6,000 strong.
"Will write again when I learn more.
"W. S. MAY."
Call the Telegraph.
We insist upon Deacon Bergner and his set
being called before the grand jury to give evi
dence of matters whereof they pretend to have
knowledge. They have frequently asserted
the existence of societies among us, secretly
organized, and bound by oaths to compass the
overthrow of the government and render as
sistance to the rebels of the Confederate States.
In the Telegraph of Monday evening, the 27th,
it is distinetly asserted that the Knights of
Golden Circle—the name by whittle the swot
societies are known—will seize the, fffillfaircr
able
its opportunity, Aker tho -
unpreparedes2,--eff government is
guard, to make a raid
W"..aslington city from Pennsylvania, New
York, Indiana and Illinois, " for the purpose
of capturing the Capitol and handing it over
to jefferson Davis." It is further distinctly as
serted that they, Geo. Bergner, his editors and
writers, are " well convinced of the fact that
there is an order of Knights of the Golden
Circle in this city, (Harrisburg,) and that they
will hold a session this evening," &c., mean
ing Monday evening last. And it is still
further asserted that " those traitors speak
through the Tory Organ (meaning the PATRIOT
AND ihno.w) every morning." Judge Pearson
has called the attention of the grand jury to
this subject, and it is their duty to investigate
it. We point - them to those who profess to
know that such a society, organized for illegal
and treasonable purposes exists in this city,
and we demand of them that they have
those persons brought before them and ex
amined. If they fail to substantiate their
assertions—as we well know they will—
ire want the grand jury, for the credit of the
county, to make the fact known, so that the
foul imputation cast upon a large body of our
fellow-citizens may be removed, and the miser
.able calumniators be held up to public scorn.
We trust that this will be done—and then we
shall respectfully ask Judge Pearson to charge
the Grand Jury that such wholeeale Blenders,
made through sheer malignity, without the
shadow of truth to rest upon, and for the evi
dent purpose of stirring up bitterness, are also
indictable Offences, and that the application of
the opprobrious terms " Copperhead" and
"traitor" to respectable, loyal men, are well
calculated to provoke "unlawful violence," and
constitute an offense of Via the grand jury
may also take cognizance.
NEWTS, OF THE DI Y. •
The Richmond papers of the 27th greatly
deplore the loss of the battery of five splendid
Napoleon guns and one hundred and forty of
their men taken prisoners by Gen. Getty on
the Nansemond, near Suffolk. They reflect se
verely on the commanding officer.
It is believed at headquarters, Army of the
Potomac, that Gen. Hill, with the force lately
besieging Gen. Foster at Little Washington, is
falling back upon Richmond to reinforce the
army on the Rappahannock.
From the Army of the Cumberland we have
the following:
FaMIKLIN, Tenn., April 27.—An attack was
made at daybreak this morning by 700 men
of General Gordon Granger's cavalry upon
the camp of Gen. Van - Dorn's rebel Texas Le
giOn, eight miles out, towards Spring Hill,
about a mile from and in sight of Van Dorn's
headquarters.
The rebels were surrounded, three killed and
several wounded, their camp and garrison equi
page destroyed, and two hundred prisoners,
with three hundred horses and mules, brought
into Franklin.
Among the prisoners were eight commis
sioned officers.
Not a man of our force was hurt.
The expedition was planned several days
age by Oen. Granger, anti the execution of it
was entrusted to Col. Louis D. Watkins, of the
Sixth Kentucky cavalry, one of the boldest
"gobblers" of the war, os either side.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 27, p. m.—A part
of Gen. Green Clay Smith's brigade, consisting
of two hundred and fifty cavalry, commanded
by Col. Watkins, of the Sixth Kentucky, it is
reported, this morning made a dash upon the
rebel camp of the First Texas Legion, eight
miles south of Franklin, on Carter's Creek
pike, and captured one hundred and twenty
eight rebels, including three captains, five lieu
tenants, the same number of horses, Arty
mules, one ambulance loaded with medical
stores, and burned eight wagons and the arms
of the rebels. Col. Brooks, commanding the
rebel eamp, was captured, but subsequently
escaped. The rebels formed a part of General
Whitefield's brigade. The latter is a Tennes
amen, and a native of Franklin, who acquired
road notoriety in Kansas a few years since.
Five rebels were mortally wounded. There . _
were no casualties on our side. The prisoners
arrived here to night.
Thirty-three hundred citizens, male and fe
male, have taken the oath, giving bond Co Gen.
Mitchell.
Capt. C. S. 8. Medill, of the Twenty-First Il
linois, judge Advocate in the trial of the An
derson Troop, died suddenly to-day of pneu
monia at the St. Cloud Hotel.
A startling rumor is current to-night that
Gen. Bragg was shot and instantly killed by
Gen. Breckinridge at Tullahoma yesterday.
A small party of rebels attacked the Louis
ville train on its passage from this city to-day.
The rebels killed two prisoners. No damage
was done to the track.
Leuisvms, April 27.—The Nashville cars
arrived three hours behind time. A guard on
the cars dispersed the rebels, killing three and
wounding three. Three miles north of Frank
lin, two sick Union soldiers, two passengers
and a drummer boy were wounded, the latter
probably mortally, and left at Bowling Green.
The military authorities have been arresting
for the past three days members of an associ
ation for. promoting the rebel cause sad pro
curing desertions from the Union army.
During the pale of a lot of negroes at the
Court House this morning, the Provost Marshal
notified the buyers that four were free under
the President's proclamation? They neverthe
less want on, when the matter of the four con
trabands was turned over to the District Judge,
who will take measures to annul the sale.
A letter to the New York Herald from Suf
folk, April 24, gives an aceeunt of a strong
reconnoissance made that day on the Somerton
and Edenton roads, which resulted in finding
the enemy in considerable force a short dis•
tance out, protected by woods, rifle pits and
breastworks. A sharp conflict ensued at the
rifle pits, from which our troops drove the
rebels, taking several prisoners—but when
they came in sight of the heavy breastwork,
mounted with cannon, they were halted and
finally ordered to retire, the object of the re
connoissance having been effected: Among
the wounded on the occasion, were the follow
ing soldiers belonging to the 165th. and 166th
Pensylvania regiments : Isaac W. M'Clain,
company E, 165th, thigh ; Corporal E. Snipe,
company Ai 166th, arm ; R. Flork, company
A, 166th, arm, slightly ; A. Creger, company
A; 166th, fracture of jaw ; Corporal IL Shaffer,
company C, 166th ; L. Renhouser, company C,
166th ; H. Spangler, company 0, 166th ; J.
Starr, company A, 166th ; Null, company
C, 166th, missing ; George West, company F,
165th, killed.
WASHINGTON ' April 27.—The dispatches re
ceived •by the President from Major General
Grant and Adjutant General Thomas are dated
before Vicksburg, April 23. They announce
that, on the evening before, six gunboats and
twelve barges had passed the Vicksburg and
Warrenton batteries, which opened with a,ter
rifle fire upon the vessels. Baildingallivi c k s _
burg, which were,-prepared for the eccesion,
were firefttQ light up the river, and enable the
fermi gunners to see the boats.
Over five hundred shots were discharged at
the fleet. None of the barges were hit, and
only one steamer was injured badly enough to
cause her to be abandoned. She floated three
miles below Warrenton, where she grounded,
but all hands on board of her were saved.
Another steamer was somewhat injured, but
she can be easily repaired. To the credit of
the troops be it said that when some of the
crews of the boats refused to take their chan
ces in making the fearful trip, the former, be
longing to the Illinois regiments, volunteered
to do the boatmen's work, the crews having
been left behind.
The second splendid success of throwing a
great land and naval force below Vicksburg,
completely flanking the rebel position, was
accomplished with the loss of only two men
mortally wounded, and a few more, not exceed
ing ten, severely and slightly wounded.
The pilots were made the targets of the re
bel sharpshooters, who lined the shore. The
pilots, in order to prevent being splintered, in
case they were wounded, had their pilot•hou.
see removed, and exposed themselves to the
enemy.
General Grant telegraphs to the President
that he considers this movement, in view of its
importance, the terrible fire to which the boats
were exposed, and the slight loss of property
and men, a magnificent success.
Among the N. Y. _Tribune' s Washington items,
Aprif27, we find the following :
Col. Baker, Provost Marshal of the War De
partment, has evidence in his possession inu ;
plicating several persons, some of whom are
holding offices under the government, in a plot
to effect the release of certain of the inmates
of the Old Capitol prison. One of the suspec
ted had the effrontery to attempt to bribe Col.
Baker to silence, with an offer of 45.1.0,00 p.
After a portion of the money had been paid to
Baker, who handed it to the Sanitary Commis
sion, the donor, with his accomplices, was ar
rested. Three of the alleged conspirators have
been indicted by the Grand Jury now in sesaien.
Chief Engineer Wood, U. S. Navy, now on
duty in connection with iron-clad vessels, has
made a proposition to the Secretary Of the
Navy, to-the following effect, viz : He offers to
take a Monitor up the harbor of Charleston,
removing, on his way, any obstructions that
may impede the progress of ships. Or, if the
Department only desires the destruction of
Fort Sumpter, he will accomplish that. A
State Senator of California, who enjoys to a
large degree the confidence of engineers, also
offers to accompany Mr. Wood on the important
expedition named. I understand that the Pre
sident and Secretary Welles look on the pro
position with favor, but the action of the go
vernment is, of course, not known.
By telegraph, yesterday - : .••• •
NEW YORK, April 28.—The Times says a
rumor reached here last night that the Army
of the Potomac was moving. [Glad to hear it.
Now, Fighting Joe, give them fits. Let us have
Richmond, or some other country town, in two
or three days. Make your vaunting true,'.!
or subside.]
The steamer Blackstone, from New Orleans
on the 19th, and Key West on the 23d, has ar
rived. The steamer Circassian, at New Or
leans from off Galveston, brought a number of
prisoners recently captured by our blockaders
off Sabine Pass. Among them is Commodore
Fowler, who commanded the steamer which
captured the Morning Light and the Velocity.
On the 14th instant an expedition from Gen.
Dudley's brigade crossed the point of land op.
posite Port Hudson, and communicated with
Admiral Farragnt. They found the Ailmiral
in good spirits, and believing that the enemy
had but four days provisions at Port Hudson.
The ram Switzerland was still in company
with the Hartford and Albatross, maintaining
the blockade of the Rod -river, and the move
ment of Gen. Banks towards the same point
will tend materially to cut off the rebel sup
plies from Texas and west Louisiana.
NEW Yorar., April 28.—The Tribune's Hilton
Head correspondent represents the Monitors
and the army ready for another movement, and,
indeed, one seems already in progress. He
says before the close of this week all the iron
clads will be again over the bar at Charleston,
and the attack must soon come off. This time
it will be in co-operation with the land forces.
The rebels are hard at work strengthening
their land defences South of Charleston.
WASHINGTON, April 28.—The following dis-
WO-hat; Inca received at the Headquarters
of the army :
ST. LOUIS, April 27, lB63.—Maj. Gen. Hai
led", General-in-Chief:—Gen. Vandever came
on the enemy's rear near Cape Giradeau last
night and attacked and routed him, taking a
large number of prisoners, horses, arms, &c.
The enemy retreated toward Bloomfield, in
great disorder, pursued by our victorious and
combined forces, under Generals Vandever and
M'Niell. (Signed.)
S. R. Cultrtss, Maj. QO4,
The bark Gen. Cobb, from Palermo, reports
that on the Bth instant, in latitude 37° long.

tured in lat. 20° north and released after give
ing bonds to the amount of $60,000. The brig
Ocean Pearl, from Porice, reports the pirate
Alabama arrived off that harbor on the evening
of April 7th, and sent a schooner tender into
port for powder and coal. She was supplied
by the Spanish authorities, and sailed the same
evening.
Intelligence from Newbern and Little Wash
ington to the 25th states that all was quiet
there.
SAN PRANCISCO, April 27.—The Legislature
adjourned at noon. Among the bills approved
is one appropriating front the State Treasurs
$lO,OOO per mile towards building fifty miles
of the Pacific railroad. This is additional to
the $2,000,000 proposed to be voted by the
counties along the line of the road.
BALTIMORE, April 28.—There are many wild
stories of rebel depredations in Western Vir
ginia, on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. Information, which is believed to
be reliable, has been received that some guer
rilla cavalry have penetrated the country to
Powelsbnrg and Altamont, but have done no
damage to ille road or Government property.
There are reports of a rebel force having gone
west, but it is believed that this movement has
been checkmated by our troops.
ST. Jonxs, N. F., April 27.—The steamer
Anglo-Saxon has been wrecked three miles east
of Cape Race. Three passengers 'arrived there
this afternoon, and report the vessel as broken
up and a great number of passengers lost. The
Associated Press yacht left for the wreck im
mediately on the receipt of the news.
Sr. JOHNS, April 28.—The steam-tug Daunt
less picked up two boats' crews of the Anglo-
Saxon between Cape Ballard and Cape Race,
and is returning to this port without landing
at Cape Race. The steamer Bloodhound has
gone to Cape Race.
ST. JOHNS, N. F . ., April 27, via PORT HOOD,
April 28.—The Anglo Saxon sailed from Liv
erpool on the 16th instant, with 800 passen
gers, and a ship's crew of 84, making a total
on board of 444. She was wrecked four miles
east of Cape Race, at noon to-day, of the 27th,
during a dense feg. Seventy-three persons
escaped from the wreck by ropes and spars.
and 24 were in No. 2 life boat, making a total
of saved of 97. Nos. 4 and 6 boats not yet
arrived, in consequence of the density of the
fog, and 7 other persons, who embarked on a
raft; are also missing. There is still a heavy
sea and dense fog.
The commander is supposed to be among
the drowned. The purser, first and second
engineers and doctor are saved, and one cabin
passenger, Lieut. Sampson, of the Royal Artil
lery, the Hon. John Young and family, are
supposed to be in one of the missing boats.
The deck broke up about an hour after the
ship struck, leaving nothing but the mizzen
mast standing. Several persons clung to the
fore rigging, till 'the fore mast fell, but no
assistance could be rendered them. Guns are
being fired at Cape Race to attract the atten
tion of the missing boats.
ST. JOHNS, April 28.—The steamer Daunt
less, this morning, picked up two boats of the
ill-fated Anglo Saxon, containing 90 people.

The steamer Bloodhound has gone to Cape
Race for the people there.
The weather is very fine and clear on the
coast to-day.
UNCLE ABE'S SCALE.—The negro is rising in
the scale of Uncle Abe's mind. He styled
them :
In 18.59, the negroes.
In 1860, the " colored men."
In 1861, the " intelligent contrabands."
In 1862, " free Americans of Afriosn de
