It gives a clear and concise account of the movements of both armies from this time of Hooker's advaace with " the finest army on the planat " to his hurried retreat beyond the Rap pahannock, .by which he saved his beaten anddis pirited legions from total destruction : . . - "Nearly a week has passed. since the great battle was fought, and yet no full or consecutive account of it has been obtained. The main (acts, however, are not known. All statements that seem' authen tic may be briefly related. . - Hooker's first object in crossing the Rappahan nock above the town was to get in the rear of Fred ericksburg. His second aim was to prevent a flank attack on the left by the Confederates, who, he sup posed, would march up. the banks of the river h cut his rmy at the' fords. Hence, he determined, to cross the Rappahannock above the confluence with the Rapjdan, to march through a portion of Cul pepper, aad passing the latter river at Germanna and Ely's, to keep his communication behind him, the Rappahannock on his left flank, and the Con federate army and Fredericksburg always in front of him; . On Tuesday week his troops were drawu up in full array on the hills of Stafford, in view of the town, pontoons' thrown over, and a strong detach ment sent across at Deep Run. This first step 'was a mere feint to distract attention. Next day his army disappeared, and the detachment was with drawn, while the main hodV nassed the rivers above in the order stated. Still believing that Lee's onset would be made close to the river, and on his left flank, be rapidly strengthened that part of bis line with field works, and ftea swung the rest forward to Chancellorsville. .... It appears, however, from the dispatches of the Confederate General, that his ways were not as the ways Of Hooker, nor was his attack made in the manner which Hooker had decided he should make it The Confederate operations were aimed at the right wing that reaching to Spotsylvania Court House of the Federals. Gen. Jackson, did flank them, after all; but it was the right flank that nearest Richmond riot the left flank, which Hook er' had carefully guarded with a river and field works. General Jackson appears to have turned the Yankee line somewhere beyond the Court House, and penetrating to the wilderness, a creek between Culpeper and Spotsylvania, got pertly in their roar. Attacked by the rest of the Confederates in front, while Jackson's cofps came down from the wilder ness, the finest army on the planet, commanded, though .it was, by General Judas Hooker, was shortly defeated with great slaughter, dislodged from all the positions around Chancellors, doubled up on. itself and pressed down in confusion to the banks of the Rappahannock. In this condition their rout and annihilation were nearly certain, could the attack have been continued as commenced. But the Confederate victory appears to have been marred by the news from Fredericksburg. A part of the army, supposed to have been sufficient, had been' nut to euard the old heights back of the town: Hooker had left a large force said to have been two mil corps on the opposite bill, unrer an old regu lar omcer, uenerai aedgwics by name, always bete, and commonly swimming in whiskey. What or dcrs he had, whether to pass when the sound of cannon announced the engagement at Chancellors viUe, or to wait till a message was sent him, we do not yet know. It may be assumed, however, as certain that his important part in the play was to pass the river and "carry the crest" If possible, while feee had his hands full of Hooker, and then rush, apon his rear. But such a man was sure- not to come up in time. ' After a long delay, he crossed the river, and did actually get possession of Mirye's UilL as related by our correspondent Sedgwick was now in Lee's rear, and the event might have been fatal to that General, if Hooker bad held his. own in front But Hooker was already beaten, and at that time helpless. Lee, therefore, could turn on Sedewick with safe ty. He did so, whipped him at once, sent him back to Stafford, and re-occupied Fredericksburg. It is reported that he then went to finish Hooker. It was too late I The YaokeeGeneral had gotten his. beaten army a very defensible position, sup ported by the Rapldan and Rappahannock, and had erected strong works in front The Confederate General might well pause before he attacked him there without necessity. Those who know the character of those rivers need not be told that there is no necessity to. attack an army which depends on their fords for every par ticle of supply. It is possible to defend such a po sition as that which Hooker is said to have assumed ; but impossible to remain in it This is the season of heavy showers. One of these converts those streams in an hour from insignificant creeks into terrible torrent, which would sweep off Pharoah's host Bio pontoon could live a minute on its flood. Hooker had the choice, to come out and fight -for ward, or get back! to the Northern bank aa soon as possible. As his army is a beaten army, we were not surprised to hear- last night that, he had chosen the latter alternative, and retreated while still able." The Fredericksburg correspondent of the Rich mond Enquirer gives the following minute and in teresting account of the several battles from the first m'ovement of the enemy below Fredericksburg jon Wednesday evening He says: " This movement can hardly be said to have been a feint It would be perhaps more proper to speak of it as a movement designed to co-operate with the 'main attack at Chancellorsville, or it i possible that this force was left in front of Fredericksburg to prevent a rear movement on our part; which, if suc cessful, and the river once crossed by our troops, at a point near town, "their access to the railway could have been cut off, and . their base of supplies ren dered useless to them. ' To guard his rear and pro tect his base, the force, which aftewards operated onensively, was at hrst intended to act delensively, in all probability. How it afterwards acted on the offensive, and suc ceeded in carrying by storm " Marye's Heights," can probably be explained by the fact that Hooker had been hard pressed and whipped in the fight of Saturday and Sunday morning at Uhancellorsville, and made this in order to create a diversion, and enable him .to cover his retreat. Chancellorsville having beet4 the real point battle it will be the most fitting to treat of it first On Thursday evening Geo. Anderson, who was holding a position in front or the United states Mine Fori twelve miles ifboee Frederickaburg, ascertained that the Yankees, numbering ' five army corps, with at least eighty, thousand men, crossed the Rapidan at Kelly's and Germane. Fordsy having previously crossed the Nolrth Fork of' the RanDahannock at Ely's Ford, in Culnenner cohntv. and were advancing down the plankroad. - General Anderson at once leu back: to Uhancellorsville, and took up a line ot battle in lront of the plankroad, and extending to the river, and retching over to wards the old Catharine Furnace. Gen. Anderson; however, having too small a force to hold the enemy at this point, fell back to a position some four miles below Chajicellorsville, and -frootjng the old mine road. On Friday mornip" Gen. Anderson was re inforced on the right by (An: McLaws, and on the lere Dy uen. a. y. um. AUbis period Gen. Jack son took command, anil ordered an advance, him 'self leading it, and succeeded during the day in oriving me enemy oacK, tney making but slight re bistance. On Fridtfy night bur forces, rested fully two miles beyond the ground occupied by the Yan kee forces on the previous evening. The forces principally engaged thus far in this quarter, be longed to Semraes' "brigade, of McLaws' division, and Mahone's brigade, of Arfdersen's division. Saturday morning wore away without important results. There was some artillery firing and a little skirmishing, but the engagement did not become general unl about hve o cloak in the atternoon, .from which hour the fight raged furiously until about eight o clock. Jackson, at this time, bad thrown a force on their upper flank, and was dri ving them fiercely down upon out lower line, which in turn, was hurling them back, and rendering fu tile all their efforts to break through our lower lines, and making it necessary for them to -give back towards the river. There was an intermission in the firing from eight o'clock until about nine. Bet from nine until long past midnight the sound of artillery and aeaill arms was well nigh deafening. The explanation was ready. . Jackson was pressing them with a night fight Our boys drove the Yankees, who stoutly held their ground, until near day; and at early dawn of the holj of holies, the fight began on both eaua oi me une, ana by eleven o clock the . nnng had ceased. On the upper end of the line, near. Chancellorsville. the. Yankees' were badlv whiooed. and were in full retreat towards tBe river. On the lower line, near Fredericksburg, however, they had succeeaea m carrying JHarye's Heights, and were rioting in the wild excess of joy. They had stormed. tney saio, tne uioraiter ot America, and their route to Richmond was plain and easy, little remember ing that they had hurled a column of fully ten thousand upon one regiment in front; and thus gaining the rear of the rest of Barksdale's brigade. But " the best laid schemes of men and mice gang aft aglee,"-and whilst the Yankees were felicitating tnemseives on their . splendid successes, and im agining themselves to be in the rear of our army,- Gen. Lee was so manceuvering as to meet n enemy, who were now throwing themselves forwafd from the town on the plank road. About four o clock on Sunday evening, McLaw s division, in cluding Wilcox s brigade ot Anderson's division, met the advance column of the Yankees, under Gen. Sedgwick, at Salem Church, four miles beyond Fredericksburg, on the plank road, and our line of battle was formed at right angles with the plank road. The battle here raged for about two hours, but tho Yankees were repulsed with considerable loss, including some live to six hundred prisoners. Our line on the telegraph road, meantime, had been formed at Smock's, about three and a half miles out from town. - Early on Monday morning Lawton's. old brigade, now Gen. Goadon's,- supported by Gen. Smith's and -Gen. Hares' -all of Early's division, advanced to wards Marye's Heights, and charged them without the firing of a gun, driving the enemy fraaaa posU tion from which less than twenty-four hoars before he had dislodged Barksdale's gallant Mississippiansr after a most heroic resistance, in which the enemy's loss was quite considerable. In this condition mat ters remained until about five o clock in the evening, when a general advance was, ordered. At the firing of a signal gun, General Early moved upon the ene my from the right, end Gen's.' Anderson and Mc Laws from the left The enemy, who held a posi tion on the plankroad extending up and down,' were quickly dislodged and driven with great loss from the field. Their resistance was slight The charge was grand. Early's men, and especially the Louisi anians, under Hayes,, walked over the enemy, as gi ants over pigmies, while from above, the men' of Anderson and Md-Aws, who had been constantly marching and fighting for five days, showed no signs of relaxation, but marched boldly and fearless ly up to their appointed work. The result was the enemy was driven in confusion towards Banks' Ford, across which he succeeded in making his way during tho night not, however, without serious loss in killed, woundea and prisoners. Gen. Hoke, of the-North-Carolina brigade, in Early's division, was wounded in this charge. Whilst this was go ing on, Barksdale s men were holding' the stone wall, Marye's hill and the heights commading the plankroad, so as to prevent a movement on our rear out from Fredericksburg. But this wa3 hardly necessary.- Yankee desire for a general advance had been satisfied, and by n'ighllall the the Yankees had begun to prepare for the third and last time to evacuate Frederic ksbure and by day break our pickets were in the town, which is once again in the hands of Barksdale's men. Though the enemy at Cancellorsvillo did not re- cross .the nver at the United States ford until to day, there has been no general engagement since Sunday only some occasional skirmishing and feints of attack to cover up their retreat across the river. Hooker, though having the choice ot position, did not act offensively after crossing, but fortified and threw himself on the defensive, thus forcing our men to contend against him in this hght against vastly superior numbers, aided by breastworks, for tifications and obstructions of all sorts. But they were of little avail ; Jackson turned their flank and fell upon their rear. And Jackson's boys did. their work with all their might and main. ' They charged faster over the battle field than they marched to it. and their cheering as they drove the enemy before tnem crone upon the air with line, inspiring effect, and told too plainly that our men were terribly in earnest, and were fighting for home, tor- woian manhood and iiidnuiaiwiw. " nr-aaoh m 'teaoSer Rr were worse than base not to strike heavy blows for freedom and the right Hooker expected success. He had planned well ; but General Lee has proved himself more than a match for him, and, his splendid army now lies a part dead on the south side of the Rappahannock, a part wounded on its north bank, and some here. too, and a large part of the advance is already near your city. . Hooker had drawn every man from the fortifications, and came prepared with eight" days rations L e., eight days hard tack; three days cooked meat and eight days cattle in a herd and eight days coffee. Hooker made his men a speech, telling them he had advantage of position and was bound to go forward ; all that he asked of them was to fight He had summoned every maa from the fortifications, and had uncovered Washington, and must have put into tho fight from firat to last, not a man under one hundred and fifty thousand. The bravery, fortitude and endurance of our men in all of these engagements cannof be too highly praised or too gratefully remembered, by the coun try. It woald seem invidious to make special al lusions where all fought so well, but it is due to candor and truth to say that the troops of McLaws and Anderson were oftener engaged than any other troopa, they being engaged in fighting and march ing almost without intermission for rest or refresh ment, from Thursday night until Tuesday mornigg, a period of four days and nights. While ta D. li. Hill's old division, commanded by Gen. Rhodes, ami Trimble's division, led by Gen. Colston, Early's division, led by Early himself, and A. P. HHl's, men under their favorite leader, the country is indebted. The cavalry, too, claim a share of this glorious work, for while the infantry were thus being en gaged, one brigade under Fitzhugh Lee met the enemy-near Spotsylvania Court House and succeeded in whipping and driving back to Chancellorsville, certainly two bripdes of cavalry, and perhaps four, killing the Colonel "of the 6th N. Y. Cavalry and two Captains, and taking some sixty prisoners. . The battle fieldf which reaches from Fredericks burg to a point above Wilderness, some twelve miles up from town, and out to the river, with the exception of about two miles between Salem and Zoar churches, tttests the skilful aiming and dead ly destruction of our artillery. The Yankee dead ancLvounded are strewn over the entire country. Yet had it notAave been one of the most thickly wooded sections of land in. Virginia, the Yankee loss wotdd have been far greater, Over this same' field of battle are scattered in immense quantities, blankets, overcoats, canteens, knapsacks, haversacks, cartridge boxes, and any quantity of rifles, muskets, and various other equip ments of the soldier. Our boys,, however, found but little to eat. The Yankees had well nigh de vdured the commisaariat, still a good quantity of hard tack, ith sbme good cooked meats and cof fee, were found in the Yankee haversacks. We also captured some freshly slaughtered meats, and some corn and oats ; all of which are quite valua ble, and just the articles we heeded. Fredwicksburg, on this occasion, did not suffer " severely as she did before, though the Yankees managed to steal a .good deaL Private bouses, I believe, were in no instance entered, where the families were present, and the town was not shelled, nor were any citizens arrested or carried off in the town. A few were arrested outside, but in every instance I believe, ,tbey were "rescued by. our own soldiery. ' ; . Hooker commanded ic person at tne Chancellors ville fight, and occupied a position- near that place daring the fight Hooker has made a good fight He has manavuvrcd well, and done better, than any other Yankee General ; but Hooker is not the equal of our commander-in-chief. Gen. Lee, during thia fight, has displayed the highest qualities of an able and successful commander. To him the country Is indebted for the most wonderful qualities of the soldier and tactician. . He has so manoeuvred and combined as to surround the Yankees twice,, and drive them back to the river, when they supposed on Doth occasions, that they bad gotten into his rear, and were about to surprise him ; whilst Geh. Jackson has outdone himself, and exhibited the highest characteristics of a strategist and a skillful General, fully confirming all his past renown, and adding new laurels to the many already won in the service of his country. Our losses are fully 5,000, whilst those of the Yankees are confessed to b fully 15,000, and about thirty pieces of artillery We have captured Tory near 8,000 prisoners, and havo lost I suppose 1000 prisoners. These results of the tight point moss conclusively to a most brilliant Confederate victory. We have -captured one Brigadier General and any quantity of field and staff officers. Among the killed on our side are Gen. PaXton. of the Stonewall brigade; Gen. Nichols was wounded in u teg, naving previously lost an arm ai Win chester Gen. McGowa was wounded slightly ; Geo. Hoke was wounded in the arm. Gens. Slocumb, Howard and O'Neill, of the Yankee army, are re partedtillea, and " Fighting Joe" is said to be slightly wounded."

It is gratify ing to know that most of our wounded are but slightly injured, the number of flesh wounds in arm and band greatly preponderating over those of a graver nature. The enemy's loss is variously estimated at from twenty to thirty thousand killed, wounded and pris oners. Of the latter We have taken from seven to ten thousand.

Stonewall Jack son's entire command, led by Jackson hi person, got to the enemy's rear lattf on Saturday evening, and commenced the attackimmediately. ' We were soon closely engaged and drove the enemy pell-mell down toe plankroad. the tight continued until twelve o'clock at night with fearful' slaughter, and the surrounding' woods- were lit up with the blase Of artillery and infantry fire. This fight waster- nnc; but Sunday was the awful day. We have tost many men, killed and wounded. Lane s bngaue was badly eut op. Having a heavy breastwork and battery to charge, it made four charges before it was taken. Various, other charges were made by regiments composing this brigade, in which they suffered severely. CeL Thos. J. Purdie of the 18th, was killed. CoL E. Gv Haywood of the 7th, CoL C M. Avery of the 83d, and Cot W. M. Barbour of the 87th, were wounded. Lt CoL Junius L. Hill of the 7th, was killed.
