THE JOURNAL. Coudersport. Pa. Wednesaav, May,11,1864 M. W. IiIcMd.RNFX, 1 WAR NEWS. WASHINGTON, Friday, May 6, 1.864. Yeiterday aftertioon at 2 o'clock, inform .ation .was receivVd by Geo. Burnside that large force of Rebels was moving south by Way of Thoroughfare Gap: ''' This was communicated by signals, ; , and 'Burnside at, once sent off a large -Area of cavalry, who came up with the enemy as they were passing through Thor oughfare Gap. .A volley from-our men brought to the ground a lieutenant, With the name 4 '3larchand " marked on'his shirt, who is -supposed, to have been , an 'aid of Lee or Stuart, as orders were found upon his per-1 son, signed by order of Gen. Lee, direct ing imboden and his, cavalry, and all the , -cavalry force in Northern Virginia, to :move at once and join Lee. These orders .are dated May 4 ; and it is supposed that the certify retreating south was not only that of Imboden's but all the. Rebel caul.'. airy in Northern Virginia, esoept probe.' 4bly a guerrilla bands and roakauders, 'ho could not in time receive die' notice. l This information shows that the state- I Wients telegraphed from New York of the ' liefeat of ' Burnside at Thoroughfare Gap are without foundation. The latest and only news from toward the front to-day is that all communication tia cut off beyond Union Mills, the rail ,road beyond that point having been abut •doned, and all Government property at -Culpepper, " Brandy Station, and other points brought back to Alexandria, even to,the late railroad bridge across the Rap pahannock. The Government has raceived positive information that there is not a v4rtl of truth in the rumors of large Rebel forces fin the Shenandoah Valley. The 'forces -which for some time past have been ope rating in the Valley have rejoined the main army under Lee, even the guerrillas having disappeared,exceptlng a• few under 'O'Neill and White. • The raid yesterday on the Baltimore :and Ohio Railroad-was merely a spasmodic attempt to interrupt communication, and for purposes of plunder. The communi 'r •cation was interrupted only for a few hours. Information has been received here that •onr army has passed safely through "The Wilderness," near Chaneellorsville, but 'nothing farther is known this morning of rite onward movement.' Rumors prevail of 'fighting, but they are founded on mere conjezture, as it is known that up to 7 o'clock on Wednesday •evening none had taken place. There are troops remaining on thislide of the .Rapidan, but it would not be prop er to state their exact location. These include -some, if not' all, of the colored soldiers. Mush of the rolling stock of the rail wad has been sent back to Washington, :as there is now no further use for it. VICTORY OP GEN. GRANT WASHINGTON, May B.—The most tel. - rt6e battle yet fought closed today. Lee's , •entire army has made repeated and fur).- -ous.assaults upon null right and left wing, , .e - ommanded by Hancock and Sedgwick, with 'temporary successes, but has been -driven book with great slaughter. Au `-attaok wits'made apout 4 o'clock this after noon simultaneously flpun our whole line, which was gallantly rapulse,d: Toward • -dark the enemy concentrated upon our extreme right, and fell suddedly upon Bcdpvickerushing in a portion of hLs line. ; .Gen. Sedgisick succeeded in, reforuiing line and scouring it against fUrther disaster, and the enemy withdrew from . bis front under the cover of the darkness "Our Army to-day has certainly achieved .a decided success. It has baffled all the -offensive effortsof the enemy The almpst ;impenetrable woods with which the battle , ,ground is covered saved the Rebels frOm tt.crushing defeat, as it enabled them to -conceal their movements almost perfeetly •until the - very moment of their execution. Ingalls's telegraphs from the 'Old Wilderness Tavern, at 11: 30 a. w. on Saturday, says that "the enemy are said :to be retiring." Gen. Butler has sent a :-dispatch from Bermuda Hundred, saying ;that he has made ht demonstration against • the railroad betwetTetersburg and Rich -blond, and has succeeded, after some pretty severe fighting, in ,breaking the commud • t - ' ASHINGTOIV, May o.—We have in. lielligence' this' amnia.- '' by scouts direct from the army as late as Saturday evening; /wCtio offioial reports The general milks May be stated as a success to our arms. 'The, fighting on' Friday was the most des - . - luau known in modern times. There is a happy rumor that' Lee's army is in full retreat to Spotsylvauia Court- Mouse, and Grant in sharp pursuit. Geo. Wadsworth was killed and not ;captured as reported this morning. Ha :led a charge, perfectly brave man as he , was, and fell at the bead of his divi,sion, pierced with a ball through the brain. The division had been repulsed twice in charges it made. To reanimate his diS. 'nraged men, Wadiworth went to the bead of it, and rode just as squarely to his death as Quintius Curtius did.

Dalgren's men writes to the Baltimore Ai terican the following experience of a Itibhumnd prison : They marched us, seventy-three in all, past where Colonel, Dalgren lay. , I pas sed within ten feet of hiur. lle was stripped of every thread of clothing4is false leg taken off,! and his finger cut s off to get his ring. lie had three balls tikro' him, and was alunist covered with Mud. This teas about Right o'clock in the morning. There are men here in this ward who actually eat horse beef, and even dog, and were glad to get it. One:man I saw in the prison before 1 went to the hospital that had one of the dog's pairs that he eat of on the island. He said that he was going to keep it .and fetch it to our lines when he came. The prisoners on the island, although; nearly exhausted from exposure and starvation, were detailed to carry wood about.three-folirtlis of a mile. Some of them were so weak that they could hardly get around, and would refuse 'to fetch wood. As a mode of punishment for disobedinee of orders they had a wood en horse, the legs about five feet long, made after the ;style of a carpenter's horse, and the b'ench of it 'sharpened al most to an edge;; on which they would put the prisOner a straddle, tie his hands behind him ' gag him, and fasten a rope to each ankle, and stretch it both ways, until it would nearly split a roan in two. There they would keep him as-long as they thought he !could stand it, and then they would. loosen him, take . him' down, and kick him to bis quarters. There is one man in this Ward that they had in this position for nearly two hours. Every few minutes the rebel sergeant would pass by and ask him if he would fetch wood now; his answer was that he was a prisouer of war, and that he would not work. "Then sit there until you.; will," was the answer. being pretty, Funky, they kept him in this- posi-, tion until he was nearly, exhausted. • He could hardly stand or get to his quarters when they took, him down, and told him to get into his quarters. ; There was a Squad that had.been detailed to go-to the prison, where they were going to•be pa roled, an 4 one poor: folios?, that was not in the detaiT; anxious to get,alSay, stole into the ranks, hoping to be paroled. He being disoover t ed by the officer in com mand, who, having a club in his hand, struck _the poor fellow . on the head, frac turing his skrill, was death in a few hours. Anotb er struck on the.cheek, cleaving the flesh all off Ono side of his face. I saw One man shot, sitting in the window eating his breakfitst; the guard shot him through the glass, hitting him in the head, killing him instantly. It is an almost everyday occurrence- for the prisbnens to be Shot through the window by the guards: . A RAIDER; Of the Army of the Potomac.

One hundred and fifty,of tbein had to be carried from the boat on. stretchers and cars. • Their . words ..and‘ looks abundantly testify that their n3iseiable condition has been pro duced by starvation, and many are un doubtedly ,past the reach of medicine or nourishment.

NARROW Esc APE OF THE SECLETARY OF \VAR.—The Secretary of War narrowly escaped being drowned in the Potomac thursday. In crossing the ferry from I Alexandria his horses became restive, and horses and carriage were precipitated into the river. The Secretary happened to - be out of the carriage at the time. DISTILLING STOPPED IN MississlPP.t. —The Mississippi Legislature has enacted a_ law which confiscates the property and everything appertaining thereto of a dis tillery, and imposes a lino of five thousand dollars and twelve mouths' imprisonment on every State or county officer failing to report every offender. Evidently that body is intent on . stopping • the conversion of grain into grog, if • severe legislation will effect it. Three brother's named Hudgins, who took the ,04.11 after deserting from the `rebel arMy, and then found employment in one of, the government repair shops in Washington, have been discharged by Colonel Ingraham for rejoicing over the Fort Pillow massacre. Served them right. Seventy-five miles of .Pork."--Durino• * the pork season just passed, Illinois pabk ed, 1.273,390 , hogs, of an average weight of one hundred and ninety pounds. If these were placed in cars, ten tons in each car, each car, measuring two rods, it would make' a' train seventy-five !lilies Jong.. Allowing twenty cars to each lo comotive, it would take sir. hundred lo 'comotives to draw the train. A RAID BY "BOUNTY JUMPERS"- Benjathin P. Co; of.the 182 P V., wri. ring from "Camp Distribution," near Alexandria, Va., says that a squad of about sixty convalescent soldiers were sent there, from New York, recently, in company with three ,hundred "bounty ljumpers." The latter, while crossing on tho, boat, rushed upon the convalescent veterans, and plundered them of their money and everything of value they had about them. - Upon'reaching ,the camp, search was made and three or four thou sand dollars found in the possession of the deserters, together with watches, breast pins, finger rings, &c. Over a thousand bounty jumpers are now in camp, under guard, at Alexandria, and our correspondent says a "harder looking set of .men. could scarcely be found," They are, being sent to the front as fast as possible.

B. whether the orders found upon Col. Dahlgren, qa published in the Richmond papers, :ware authentic and 'authcirizedby ; him., The reply was a bitter and indignspt There is little doubt that the reason' wby Co!. Dahlgren's bOdy is not given np, is because of its shameful mutilation and unchristian burial.

Per annum, according to the rate of tax levies in various parts of the country. At the present rate of premium on gold they pay Over Eight Per Cent. Interest, in eurXeney, and are of equal,con b venienee as a permanent or temporary investment: it is believed that no securities offer so great :inducements to lenders as the various descriptions of U.S. Bonds.' In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith of ability of private parties•or stock companies or separate com munities only is pledged for payment, while for the debts of the United States the wbol. property of the country is holden to secure the payment of both principal and interest in ME These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums fronisso tip to any magnitude, on the same terma, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and the largest capitalist. Thercan be Converted into money at any mo ment, and the holder will have the benefit of the interest. It, may be usefnl to state in this connection ti4t, the total Funded Debt of the United States on which interest is payable in gold, on the 3d day of March, 1864, was $168,965,- 000., The interest on this debt for the com ing, fiscal year Will be $45,937,126, while the customs revenue in gold for the current fiscal yeetrending June 30th, 1864, has been so far at ih - e rate of over $100,000,000 per annum. Xit ill be seen that even the present gold revenues of the Government are largely in ex cess! of . the wants of, the Treasury for the pay me4 of gold interest, while the recent in cria:se of the tariff will doubtless raise the an- lima receipts from customs on the same aniciunt of importations, to $150,000,000 per attuned.
