GES. HOOKER'S ADVANCE
la another part of to-day's Journal we give
mil the details of a general movement of Gen.
Hooker's army, which we have been able to
gather op to the time of going to press. It
seem that while making ffint of crossing
the Rappahannock at one point four miles,
and another six miles below Fredericksburg,
Gen. Hooker rapidly pushed the 5th. 11th and
12th Army Corps np to Kelly's Ford, on the
Rappahannock, 2-5 miles from Fredericksburg,
where they crossed and marched south to the
Rspldan, crossing that River at Germania, 12
miles above its junciion with the Rappahan
nock j then turning eastward, passed along
the Orange turnpike to Chancellorville, which
ts 12 miles south-west of Fredericksburg, thus
fairly turning the left wing of the Rebel Ar
my. In tbe meantime three other Corps were
marched to Banks Ford, where they were a
waiting orders to cross. At 4 o'clock on Sat
urday, May 21, Gen Hooker bad bis headquar
ters at Chancellorville, the 2d, 3d, 5th, lltb
and 12tb Army corps being in posit ion near
that place.
Reliable information was received at Wash
ington ,on Sunday afternoon going to show
that a terrible engagement has l etn going on
on Saturday and Sunday. The brilliant maneu
ver by which the rebels have been flunked on
both sides has been followed up by daring con
flicts, in which our troops have been extreme
ly acccesful. . During the whole of Saturday
the musketry and artillery firing was absolute
ly continuous, especially on tbe right, where
Howard's Corps was engaged.
Between midnight and three o'clock this
morning, (Sunday,) a pontoon bridge was laid
between Falmouth and Fredericksburg, and
our troops (part of the sixth corps) marched
over and took posesslon ol tbe town, driving
out tbe enemy. ,
They then advanced on the fortifications
upon tbe slope, in exactly the di ruction of the
move of General Burnside, and it is reported
that by noon tbey had reached the top of the
hills. The enemy had left this part exposed,
oot expecting an attack there. His stroops
were withdrawn to the quarters where the con
flict was already raging.
Our troopg are all behaving splendidly, and
re worthy of their .cause and their leader.
Not a single instance of misbehavior has oc
curred amongst any of our regiments.- Gt-n'l
Hooker ia constantly in the thickest of tbe
fight, and bis escape from bullets has really
been miraculous.
THE EAID INTO WEST VIRGINIA-
We have nothing definite or satisfastory
from the scene of operations in Went Virginia.
The Wheeling Intelligencer, of Saturday, con
tains the latest from that quarter. It siys:
There seems good reason to believe that the
rebels have a very considerable force, under
lmboden and Jackson, threatening Clarksburg
from the direction of Weston. Ail reports
yesterday pointed that way. The probability
is that their main strength is in that direction,
and is held in reserve tor tlio big end of the
work yet to be attempted.
The "situation" last evening was generally
understood to be this : That Jones had gotten
bis force as far as Bridgeport on the North
western Virginia Road, which is seventeen
miles from G rat ton and about five from Clarks
burg that he was then attempting to form
junction with Imbodu i and Jacksuu, prepara
tory to combined attack on Clarksburg. Tbe
aggregate strength of the rebel commanders
is variously estimated at teD or fifteen thou
sand. - Undoubtedly it is much larger than
heretofore reported. The slow and stubborn
way In which they move indicates that fact.
We have no report of what was done after
tbe encounter at Shinston. Our forces, it is
thought, fell back to Clarksburg In apprehen
sion of tbe rebels in their rear.
Concerning the wherabouts of Col. Mulli
gan and otber portions of our troops we bave
no reliable reports. We can report the road
clear from here to Manninglon, and it is be
lieved to Fairmont. Thero are now no rebels
in tbe Utter place. We shall doubtless hear
important news frotu the seat of war to day.
Matters cannot last many boors as tbey now
Stand. .
. iTbe reported destruction of the Cheat Riv
er and Fairmont bridges, on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, by the recent rebel raid, is un
true. Mr. Edmunds, tbe passenger agent of
that company and Western roads, anounces
that the trains will commence running through
from Baltimore to Wbeeing on Monday, tbe
alight damages having been repaired.
Governor Andrew G. Curtin ia entitled to the
warmest gratfude. of every loyal son of Penn
sylvania. Throughout this terrible rebellion
be bis stood at tbe helm true to the constitu
tion the Union and his native State, and
bas given his mind and 'strength to the cause
of bis country; At tbe recent session of tbe
Legislature Governor Curtin sent in a mes
sage, in which ho announced that bo bad ac
cepted tho offer of a high position from lb e
President of. tbe United States, and should
not be a candidate for re-election. We have
do right to object to this resolution of tbe
Governor, bnt bad he again been a candidate
w should bave supported him' far mora: cor

Gen. Banks is certifying, by bis activity as
a military leader, to the fact that be is not
ambitious merely of the reputation of a civil
ian. But having first given bis remarkable
administrative ability to tbe task of educing
order out of chaos, in and around New Or
leans, by the application of a code for the reg
ulation of labor and production, and as soon as
it was satisfactorily in operation be gave bis
attention to an important military expedition
having for its object tbe reclamation of the
rich country to tbe west of New Orleans,
whence the rebels have drawn inestimable
supplies for their army, and whose numerous
lakes and bayous afford admirable facilities
for sheltering their river steamers and for con
structing and fitting out tbeir rams and gun
boats. This section comprises the parishes or
counties of Terre Bonne, Lafourche, Assump
tion, St. -Mary's, and St. Martin's, the whole
being a rich alluvial country, traversed by
navigable streams, and abounding in lakes,
bordered by rich plantations of sugar-cane
and Indian corn, and tracts of excellent tim
ber, including live oak and cypress. It also
sustains a dense slave population, which fact
bas probably entered into tbe calculation of
Geu. Banks in planning this expedition.
At our last accounts, previous to those just
received, Gen. Bunks, after having concentra
ted bis forces at Berwick's bay, baa divided
them into two columns, one of which made a
detour to the north and west with tbe object
of flacking tbe enemy on tbe Teche river, at
Centreville, Franklin, and New Iberia, while
tbe other closed in upon them from tbe eaot.
By the arrival of the Fulton from New Or
leans we have supplementary advices to tbe
19tb instant, bringing the satisfactory intelli
gence of the success ol Gen. Banks's compre
hensive plans. The column under Generat
Banks's immc-diate command had moved along
the Teche river, occupying the towns cf Pat
tersonville, Centreville, Franklin, and New
Iberia, and entered Vermillionville. At all
these points the enemy were met in force and
driven out, a large number of their steamers
and two gunboats were burned, and an im
mense amount of ammunition and stores'were
destroyed. At Bethel Place, new Iberia, tbe
rebels were strongly entrenched, and after two
days' desultory fighting, a desperate engage
ment seemed imminent, but on tbe 13th they
evacnated their works, leaving behind them
two pieces of artillery and large stores of am
munition and some small arms. They retreat
ed westward towards Vermillionville, whither
they were rapidly followed by Gen. Banks,
who encountered thc-m at the crossing of the
Vermillion bayou, a short distauce eaut of tbe
village. Here the , rebels bad posted a force
of one thousand infantry, with strong batter
ies of artillery in ambush. As Gen. Banks
advanced fire was opened upon him from tho
whole force of the enemy, and for some time
the fight raged with fury, but resulted finally,
after considerable loss on beta sides, in tbe
retreat of the enemy and the crossing of our
troops. The former retreated towards Ope
lousas, while Gen. Banks entered Vermillion
ville, and waa preparing to advance immedi
ately on Opelousas, with the expectation of
reaching it on the night of the 19th. It was
believed the enemy would not stop their re
treat short of Alexandria, which is one hun
dred miles northwest of Opelousas, where
they expected to meet reinforcements under
Gen. Kirby Smith, and would make acotber
stand. No" definite details are given of the
loss on either side, but it is known to be large.
Meanwhile the co-operating colr.mn under
Gen. Grover had been even yet more success
ful. Proceeding up Grand Lake, accompa
nied by the gunboats, it recaptured tbe ram
Queen of the West and tbe . gunboat Diana,
and, landing three miles west of Franklin.was
attacked by the enemy, but pushed forward to
Irish Bend, near tho town, of Franklin, where
a desperate engagement ensued, tbe rebels be
ing ten thousand strong, supported by batter
ies of artillery in a forest of large trees. The
battle lasted nearly tbe entire day, but resul
ted iu tbe rout and demoralization of the en
emy, after heavy losses on both sides. An
immense amount of stores and ammunition
was captured by our troops, together with
nearly six hundred horses and mules and a
large number of beet cattle.. Tbe two col
umns then lormed a junction, in the vicinity
of Franklin, and pushed forward after the re
treating enemy in the direction of Opelousas,
as we bave already seen. The whole number
of prisoners captured thus far is about fifteen
hundred.
The important results already attained by
this expedition can scarcely be properly ap
preciated. Tbe most fertile portion of tbe
State, bordering on the Gulf of Mexico, bas
been wrested from tbem ; their concealed har
bors for tbe construction and secreting of ves
sels bave been broken up. and an immense
number of steamers already completed or
nearly finished bave been destroyed ; tbeir
stores of food, ammunition, and horses intend
ed for the rebel army in Mississippi have been
seized and tbeir salt mines taken ; and finally
an entire section of tbe State, amounting to
nearly one-fifth of its whole territory, hitherto
thought impenetrable and unconquerable, bas
been brought under the authority of tbe .Fed
eral Government. .Unless tbe enemy succeed
in arresting tbe advance of Gen. Banks,' at
Alexandria,, still more important results will
follow; the plan of that able officer evidently
being to strike tbe Red river, at or. near tbe
rapids at Alexandria, some sixty or seventy
miles from its mouth, and thus cut off from
the rebel army at Vicksburg and Port Hud
son the supplies they bave derived over it.
He may also be able to repeat on tbe Red riv
er, and on a much larger scale, tbe blow at
their steamers and gunboats, so successfully
administered just now .on Grand Lake; its
long and tortuous coarse being the great har
bor of all tbeir vessels intended tor the Mis
sissippi, which have hitherto elnded our gun
boats by darting into" its narrow and intricate
channels." Unlets a disaster " befalls General
Bank it would seem as if all this vast region
is about to be torn from tbe rebel grasp, and
instead of ministering to their cause as it bas
done in tbe past, will become a principal
means of reducing their strongholds on the
Mississippi through the agency of want. :
JUDICIAL DECISIONS IN PENNSYLVANIA,
BT LOCAL AXD STATE C01BT8.
A Deserter from the American Army Pronounced
a Felon at Common Law, and if t-hot by a Guard
of the Provost Marshal, when attempting to Es
cape, tbe act pronounced Justifiable The In
demnity Bill of the last Congress of the United
States declared Constitutional by the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania.
We bave recent information of the decis
ion by tbe courts of Pennsylvania of two high
ly important legal questions, which cannot
fail to be of profound interest to all the friends
of tbe Union in the mighty struggle for the
preservation of the Government. One arose
in the court of Oyer and Terminer of Berks
county, and was this : In April, 16S2, one Isaac
Morris, of Reading, Pa., was duly enlisted in
the military service ol the United States, in
tbe Nineteenth regiment of infantry. Whilst
the company to which he belonged was sta
tioned at Tennallytown, near Washington, in
June, 1862, be deserted, and after having been
lodged in the jail at Reading for some time
he was subsequently banded over to tbe mili
tary commandant at ilarrisburg, where be a
gain deserted. He was arrested in December
of the same year, and for the third time de
serted a few days after his arrest. Informa
tion was communicated to Major Kupp, Pro
vost Maishal at Reading, that Morris was a
gain at large, and that he had threatened that
be would not be arrested by the Provost Mar
shal or his guard. On Christmas day, in 1862,
it was ascertained that Morris was secreted
about tbe bouse of a woman of ill-fame in the
city of Reading. A guard of four men, under
the command of police officer William T. Ly
on, was detailed lor the purpose of arresting
Morris, and orders were, given to the guard
to take him at all hazards, without injury if
possible, but to use all necessary force. The
guard proceeded to the house where it was al
leged Morris was to be found. Two of the
guard, with Lyou, entered the house, and two
others stationed themselves in its rear. Morris
jumped from the second story window, ran in
to an alley, and was pursued by John B. Brant,
one of the guard, who called upon him re
peatedly to halt. Lyon, the officer in com
mand., then ordered the guard to shoot bim if
he did uot surrender. ' Morris continued to
run ; the guard obeyed tbe order of Lyon and
fired, killing him instantly. For this killing,
Lyon, the commander, and Brant,' the guard
who fired the gun, were indicted.
Upon the trial the counsel for the prisoners
(among whom was Hon. J. C. Knox, Judge
Advocate of tbe Eighth army corps, who bad
.been specially detailed by the Government to
assist in tbe defense ) took the ground that
tbe order of Lyon to fire was a justification to
tbe soldier, who was bound to obey tbe order,
and that, as it was the plain duty of Lyon to
arrest Morris, and to make all reasonable ex
ertions to make sucb arrest without violence,
and: there was great danger that .Morris would
make bis escape, Lyon was justified in order
ing the guard to fire. These positions were
substantially affirmed by the presiding Judge,
Hon. Warren J. Woodward, and the prisoners
were acquitted by the jury ,greatly to tbe grat
ification of all the loyal citizens of Reading
and the county of" Berks. The case was in
trinsically Luportant, for the reason that it
presented, Tor the. first time since the com
mencement of the rebellion, the question
whether a deserter, in attempting to escape,
was to be treated like a common law felon.
That he might be so treated was distinctly af
firmed by the learned Judge before whom tbe
cause was tried, and upon this ground alone
the jury returned the verdict of not guilty.
Hence it follows that deserters who attempt
to resist an arrest do so at the peril of their
lives. When this is fully understood deser
tions will be much less frequent and deserters
much more readily arretted.
The otber case to which we allude is tbe de
cision of Mr. Justice Strong, of tbe Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, upon an application to
remove out of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania t the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States the case of Hodgson against Hon.
William Millward, United States Marshal for
the eastern district of Pennsylvania. In Au
gust, 1861, the District Attorney for the eas
tern district of Pennsylvania, George A. Cof
fey, Esq., issued an order to Marshal Mill
ward to seize tbe printing establishment of tbe
Jeffersonian at West Chester, Pennsylvania, in
order thatproceedings might be instituted in
the Supreme Court of tbe United States tor
its condemnation and confiscation, under the
act of Angust 6, 1861. Tbe order waa execu
ted, and subsequently information was filed
by tho District Attorney in the Supreme
Court, and an attachment issued, in virtue of
w hich the said printing establishment was at
tached. Wm. H. Hodgson, proprietor of tbe
establishment, intervened as a claimant. His
claim was allowed by the Supreme Court, tbe
information dismissed, and the property or
dered to be restored to its owner. This waa
done. After its restoration an action of tres
pass was brought in tbe Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania by William H. Hodgson against
Maishal Millward and the deputies who exe
cuted the order of tbe District Attorney. This
cause waa tried in February last before Chief
Justice Lowry, and under bia ruling tbe jury
returned a verdict in favor of tbe plaintiff for
$525. Motion bad been made for a new trial
on the part of the defendants, which motion
was overruled, but no judgment bad been en
tered on tbe verdict. At this stage of tbe
proceedings an application , was made on be
half of the defendants to remove the cause
into tbe Supreme Court of tbe United States,
under the provisions of tbe fifth section of
the act ot Congress of March 3, 1863, famil
liarly known as the "Indemnity bill." This
applicationwaa most strenuously resisted by
William B Reed, counsel for the plaintiff, up
on tbe grounds, first, that, after a trial, and
before tho judgment, the case could oot be re
vived ; second, that as tbe order of the Dia
trict Attorney was not authorized, either by
tbe President of tbe United States or by tbe
act of Congress of Cth of August, 1S61, the
case did not come within tbe purview of tbe
act of 81 of March, 1863 ; third, that the act
of 3d of March, 1803, was unconstitutional be
cause it authorized the removal of cases into
the Federal courts which were not within the
jurisdiction of the State courts under the
Constitution of tbe United States. These
points were fully argued by Hon. William B
Reed, counsel for tbe plaintiff, and Hon. John
C. Knox in behalf of tbe marshal. On Mon
day, April 27 tb, Hon. Mr. Stroug, one of tbe
Justices of the Supreme Court of Penn'a, in
an elaborate opinion overruled tbe objections
and ordered tbe cause to b ) removed into tbe
Supreme Court of the Uuited States, and that
no further proceedings should be bad in the
State Court. This opinion, by one of the
ablest judges of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania, fully sustaining the constitutionality
of tho late Indemnity bill, is at this time of
giest significance.
We are gratified in being abla to announce
these two important and valuable decisions
pronounced by eminent judges of the local
and .State courts of Pennsylvania, and bail
them as an exhibition on the part ot the judi
ciary of that great Commonwealth to sustain
the Administration of the Federal Govern
ment in its patriotic and persistent efforts to
maintain tbe integrity of the Union and to
vindicate the authority of tbe Constitution in
putting down the rebellion.
THE POLISH INSURRECTION.
Beyond the fact that the insurrection , is
spreading, and that the Poles bave unani
mously rejected the proffered amnesty, we
have little to record direct from Poland. Bnt
in the correspondence of the English journals
with tbeir agents in Paris, we learn that there
is some move in contemplation on the part of
Austria, France and England, of a nature cal
ciliated to affect the puplic mind. The part
played by tbe French government in particular
is mysterious enough to excite inquiry. It
appears certain that au offer has been made by
the Emperor to act in concert with Austria
against Russia; but the proposition, although
not rejected immediately, has been declined,
in consequence of the' certainty of a war which
must ensue, and the' disilke entertained by
Austria of proceeding to that extremity just
now. The principal tjmptatioii holdout by
tbe Emperor seems to bave been the conces
sion of a certain portion of Turkish territory
in exchange for the abandonment of Galicia.
It is not to be supposed that the Turks would
consent to this, unless in the ensuing war Rus
sia could be shorn of Circasia, and various
other countries be given to Turkey in ex
change. Nor would this be a stultification of
the last great struggle with Russia, for of
eourse the world knows that the object of the
Allies then was not so much to preserve Tur
key as to put a stop to tbe constant aggressions
of Russia,' which was most effectually done.
To include Italy in sucb an alliance as tbe one
now proposed it would be neccessiry to bold
out to her as an inducement the acquisition of
Venetia, a thing impossible, without giving to
Austria another large slice of Turkey. Italy
might, however, be induced to join tbe alliance
by Austria and France assenting to the annex
ation of Rome.
The defeat or retirement of Langiewicz has
given an entirely new insight into the motives
and mainspring of the Polish insurrection.
We lead that in Vienna the system which has
been urging the Polish hero to claim the dic
tatorship is openly canvassed and examined.
It is believed iu that city that Langiewicz, who
had evidently been backed by the moderates in
oposition to Mieroslawski, the Democrat, bad
Obeyed in this step a forged order of the
Comife Central, t'nd, thinking that the call was
made in the name of bis country, bad resolved
to begin by tbe bold step of proclaiming him
self Dictator. This committee was founded in
Paris in 1831, by General Lafayette, during
one of the mauy Polish fevers with which
divers French Governments have inoculited
tbe people. It is composed of men of all par
ties, differing in political opinion, In social
position, in age and in religious belief, who
take advantage of the Polish cause to advance
their own fortunes and political aspirations.
It bas kept Poland continually before the eyes
of France, and has heen a great annoyance to
the Russian envoys in Paris. But to what ex
tent it bas really benefitted Poland and' the
Poles is a matter of uncertainty. If we may
credit tbe above statements of the Vienna cor
respondent, it bas been the ruin of Langie
wicz and bis brave compaions in arms.
Lessons for Copperheads. The people of
Northumberland county understand how to
treat copperheads, If we may judge from an
incident related by the Millonian. That pa
per says that at a recent copperhead meeting
in Lower Augusta township, while a sap head
ed lawyer from Danville was spouting sugar
coted treason, a Democratic farmer arose and
declared be would not bear such stuff and
brought down a fist which shivered a desk
upon which it landed! Another old farmer
said be wanted Jeff. Davis condemned at least
at much as the President of our Union! "A
bout tbia time tbe copperheads blew the lights,
and adjourned. '
, As we anticipated", the "snaiks" who do up
tbe editorials of . tbe Copperhead organ in our
town, upon being convicted, by their own ut
terances, of favoring an "unconditional peace,'
bave resorted to special pleading to avert tbe
condemnation which tbey evoked opon thenv
elves ; and attempt to palm off some of tbe
result ot peace, as condition" of the same.
But this wont do ; and haviBg the fullest confi
dence in the intelligence of the community,'
we feel assured that tbey will place a proper
construction upon tbe subtile language with
which tbe ."sriaiks" expect to beguile the
public. . . J ...

A Copperhead Smashed. While tbe branch
train en tbe Hoilidaysburg railroad was con
veying a load of passengers to court in that
place according to the Hoilidaysburg Whig,
a rich incident occurred. In the front part of
the car several rebel sympathizers were busily
engaged discussing our National affairs abu
sing in . unmeasured terms the florts of tbe
Government, to put down tbe rebellion, and
fn sucb loud tones as to be beard all through
the car. A gentleman who bad been listening
to the conversation went forward and read to
the party a paragraph from a morning paper,
as follows :
'You are promised liberty by tbe leaders
of your affairs, bnt is there an individual in
the enjoyment of it, saving your oppressors T
Who among you dare speak or write what he
thinks against tbe tyranny which has robbed
you of your property, imprisoned your sons,
drags you to the field of battle, and is daily
deluding your country with your blood !'
"Them's my sentiment exactly," exclaimed
one of the sympathizers.
"Sir," said the gentleman, "That is the lan
guage of Benedict Arnold in his proclamation to
the cittzeus and soldiers of the United States ap
pealing to them to turn against George Wash
ington." This ended the conversation.
Those who denounce the war as calculated
to bring about disunion, should go preach
such doctrine to those who are fighting to that
end. The fact that they preach such doctrine
to those who are in favor of maintaining the
authority of theGovermuent over every foot of
soil belonging to the United States, and who
are fighting for that end, marks them as
friends to the rebel cause, whatever pretended
claims to Unionism tbey may set up Ex.
