Deferring our comments upon yester day’s news until a late bom, our Philadel phia special dispatch, received long after midnight, puts a phase upon the situation in Virginia which changes, happily, the previous aspects, and would have rendered out of place all comments based upon pre vious dispatches. *We can now write it that all goes well with Hooker. The evidences are that his magnificent plans are working nohly. If entire suc cess is not now reached, it is because the undertaking is an immense one, and its result, if won as in the manner planned by our General, will be crushing to the rebel plans and hopes. The rebel papers confess to heavy losses, in the battles at Chancehorsville, and give us the eagerly awaited proof ot the where abouts of Stoneman and Averill’s cavalry expedition.’ If our readers will study out the dispatches on the map we give in this issue, they will need t# be assured that henceforth in fhp w'ar the past raids of Stonewall Jack- Bon and Stuart will shine with diminished lustre. It is our Federal troopers that tave executed a movement that will enjoy imperishable fame in military annals. From their own showing the rebels ttrast be in a bad way for lack of leaders. At the outset Lee himself was sick, and the command devolved on Stonewall Jack- Eon. Now the latter is reported danger ously wounded, Beauregard has been hurried up from Charleston to com- Xuand-in Richmond, while Longstreet is calledhip from Suffolk. If our reinforce ments rare pushed forward promptly, and the material of our army does not disap point its noble leader, the poets of the Re public may as w%H be preparing their pecans for Gen. Hooker. THE NEW EXODUS. There is a homely little story repro duced often to the delight of audiences of sable minstrels, to the effect that a certain swaiu was making Jus visit memorable to the lady of his choice by singing “ Home, Sweet Home” in a dulcet and sentimental style. The unkind male parent of the ob ject of his devotions interrupted the har mony by a sudden raid into the apartment with, the exclamation as he escorted the vocalist into the street, “Young man, you arc making a great deal of noise here about your home. You declare it is your Sweet Home. Now be pleased to go to your Sweet Home.” The print of a number tea boot sole was, next morning tearfully brushed away from his coat skirts by the injured lover. We find no better parallel for the case of the unwiilinf parties to the new exodus ■under Gon. Burnside’s order. The scccsh have swarmed into our Northern commu nities, and have bred their kind here. Of too little stomach to fight with their fellow rebels, they have the rather fattened and sheltered themselves in loyal neighbor hoods, and profited by our healthy and frill channels of life and trade. We' have thus been favoved with all classes and styles of scccsh. 'Wives of rebel pirate captains, families of rebel Generals, small fry South ern politicians, and hamsters, have all come swarming into our Northern com munities. To these have been added our own natural and long practised sympa thisers with Slavery and Negro breeding. , And in the mouths of all these there has been hut one song, “ Home, sweet Home,” the pleasures of life in the sunny South, the delights of the institution that sells babies by the pound, and tickets woman hood, charm by charm, at the shambles. They have chanted loud and long the •praises and prowess of the rebellion, flaunted their treason in the faces of loyal men, insulted our soldiers, our cause, and our flag. This is all lb end. The exodus is beginning, and will reach every infected spot. These ardent admir ers of their “ Sweet home,” will he sent to it A large delegation from St. Louis, our . dispatches announce as already in store for shipment within the rebel lines. ** Let the loyal North be purified, and all who love treason and rebellion be sent where its hottest fires can reach them. Gen. Burnside, Gen. Curtis, and their officers have begun the work thoroughly and well. PILL UP TUB AB!SV. Quite timely with the serious sugges tions inseparable from, either result to the great battles in Eastern Virginia, comes the announcement in the dispatches of the first installment of appointments under the new Conscription law. The Government is preparing rapidly to fill np the army. If Hooker is forced to withdraw his haltered forces and retire on Washington, manifest ly onr cause will be in peril, unless a large force of fresh recruits are thrown Into the skeleton regiments. The army must be filled up, in that unhappy contingency, for the preservation of Ac nation. But there is no prospect that the call will assume pnch a shape. Wc rely upon Gen. Hook er’s success, and in that event, he must have more men and a new army, with as little delay as possible. The work ho will thus have well begun must not pause. The conscription is now near at hand, and cannot come a day too soon for the ex igencies of the nation. Wc may indeed regret that it was not among the earliest completed acts of the laic session of Con gress, that the winter might have been given to the preliminaries that since the adjournment of Congress has consumed so much time. But the machinery will soon move. This time we are to have none.of the misplaced zeal of State officers to throw new regiments, fresh military skeletons, into the field; but the old regi ments are to be filled up, their worn and broken ranks are to be infused with new life and material, fresh from the people. |FBO!S GEN. CHART’S COMMAND. The news reaches ns of a recent unsuc cessful attack by our gunboats upon the rebel stronghold at Haines Bluff, on the "Yazoo, protecting the approach to Vicks burg from that direction. The dispatches are exceedingly meagre. It would seem that a land force was to co-operate, but the misadventures of the gunboats did not en courage or enable them them to land, and •the whole force was withdrawn and the attempt added to the unsuccessful essays upon the rebel position by our forces. The account of some one in that part of the field oi -WBX IB Toy nearly fulli and tie earliest news from that quarter we may •expect J change of commanders. There is a habit of ill-success it will not do to encourage. Something decisive in that section must.mark the next few weeks or our troops will have other deadly elements beside rebel shells lo contend with. These are not palatable facts, hut they arc facts, and palates are not to be pleased when •.remedies arc uecesauy. VOLUME XVI. FROM BEN. HOOKER'S ARMY. ADVICES TO TUES DAY NOON.

Rebel Railroad and Telegraph Communications Exten shely Cut. {Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Philadelphia, May 6,1563. The New York Times of to-day gives addi tional accounts ol the battles in Eastern Vir ginia. In speaking of the capture of Fredericks burg, it says: Among the prisoners taken are the ICth and 18th Mississippi, of Barks dale’s brigade, who have usually defended tbo river passages during the past winter. There is also one whole company of the fatuous Wsishington artillery of New Orleans. A more aristocratic and intelligent lot ofSouth cm chivalry I have never seen. The officers are Capt. Squiers, Lieut. Galbreatb, and Lieut. Edward Owen, formerly of Cincinnati. Most of them appeared much chagrined at their capture,andsaldit was their first misfor tune of the kind. Four of their guns were taken, also two of Alexander’s battery. These were all the guns captured, I believe. The Philadelphia Inquirer says Fredericks burg has been re-occupied by the rebels. The bights below are jointly occupied by Union and rebel troops. A portion of them, occupied on Sunday morning by our forces, were retaken, after a desperate resistance, by fresh reinforcements from Locgstreet’s corps. An enfilading fro was commenced on posi tions of other redoubts occupied by our troops, which was, however, promptly checked by the expulsion of the rebels from* tbe entrenchments, taken with reference to the re-occupation of the rebels. It argnes that the movement on their part was in accordance with Qcn. Hooker’s It is stated that everything is in readiness for the immediate removal of stores, <fec., from Acquia Creek, if by any possible chance ihe fortunes of war should turn against us, and an advance be made In that direction by the rebels. It further says that the number of rebel prisoners already taken is upwards of 5,000. The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, of to-day, says no dispatches for the press have been sent from Washington by telegraph to day, but we know of a private diapatch received at noon to-day from a perfectly trustworthy source, the tenor of which is as follows: The authori ties at Washington are perfectly confident of Gen. Hookers success. He can maintain his position, and reinforcements to the number of 50,000 men, under Gen. Helntzelman, have been sent him. Nothing definite has been heard of Gen. Stoneman, but ho is believed to have accom, pushed the work assigned to him. Wasiuxotow, May s.— Since Saturday near ly 3,000 rebel prisoners have been brought here. Seven hundred and eighty arrived hero at 2 o’clock to-day, and were marched to safe quarters. Tbe number is already too large for convenient accommodation. Additional prisoners are to be sent up from the Rappahannock—in all, over 4,000. New York, May 6.—From various publish ed sources the following is compiled: Longstrcct’s forces arc not with Lee, but are between Richmond and Suffolk. General Hooker, In answer to a question from the President on Monday night, said the matter of the retaking of Fredericksburg by the re bels, was of no consequence. Gen. Hooker keeps his lines of communication clear. Am munition and rations go forward freely, not withstanding the desperate attempts of the rebels to take Bank's Ford and cut our line of supplies. Beauregard reached Richmond with some forces from Charleston, and has taken com mand of the defences around Richmond. SECOND DISPATCH. ' [SpcdalDispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] PBXLADELrniA, May fi—lJ-p. If. The N. Y. Herald of this morning issues an extra, with the following account of tho fight of Gen. Sedgwick’s corps with the enemy: It appears that after the great struggle of Sunday, Gen. Lee detached a large body of bis rebels to meet Sedgwick. It is known that Longstreet was rapidly getting In Sedgwick’s rear. At the same time, early on Monday morn ing, largo masses of rebels appeared on the bights cast of Fredericksburg, where wc had but a small force, having sent a large portion to strengthen Sedgwick. This position was relinquished alter a stout resistance, having first removed all the guns. Some fighting oc curred above Fredericksburg, which is be lieved to have been an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Longstrcct from moving. Gen, Sedgwick was hotly engaged all day Monday, the rebels pressing him at all points. Ills men were obliged to give way before the ovcrwhclmingnjasscsof the rebels, and his dis comfiture seemed certain, when a Vermont brigade made a ferocious charge, repulsing them and securing the safety of this portion of the army. The slaughter of the enemy near Banks' Ford was perfectly horrible, whole brigades of rebels being literally wiped out. Gen. Sedgwick, however, recrosscd the river in the face of the enemy after midnight, the enemy raking our brigades with artillery, cansing great loss of life. lie succeeded in getting across in comparatively good order, and marched immediately to theUnitedStates Ford, to join Hooker’s main army. THIRD DISPATCH. [BpecialDlspatch to the Chicago Tribune.] PraxauiLriHA, May 7,ISCS—Ia. m. The Washington Star of this evening, just received here, contains the following: We have positive information from Gcn..Hooker's army up to yesterday (Tuesday) at noon. The Richmond papers of yesterday, the sth, contain various dispatches from Leo's array. One of them claims victories for the rebels on Saturday and Sunday last, when they real ly eflectcd nothing, as we know well, from a dozen different Union sources, though losing enormously In killed and as the Richmond papers admit.

C 457 Richmond Chattanooga#Tenn CO2 EXPLANATION.—The location of ChanceUorrlll near Fredericksburg. ____ Lee drove Hooker out of the little ■wilderness back of CbaccelioravUle, and on Sunday drove him from ChanccllorevUle to a position in the immediate vicinity. So far as Sunday’s change of position is concerned, it was simply a concentration of Hooker’s force in a far better position than'at Chancellow viUc, though very near it. Xt was affected with small loss to us, when compared with the loss sustained by the reb els assailing ns during the movement. On Monday afternoon, the rebels attacked onr left (Howard’s corps), and after a despe rate engagement, were completely repulsed, with great loss. Yesterday (Tuesday) forenoon, they again advanced against the same point, but were able to stand the contest but for fifteen min utes, when they again fell back, repulsed, rith heavy loss. Stoneman’s expedition proved a great sue Indeed. The Richmond papers of the sth (yesterday) say that his forces played sad havoc with their railroad at Hanover Junc tion and other points, destroying locomotives and a large amount of other valftable proper ty, and all the railroad Vridjts to icUhin Jive miles of Jiichmond. In the Richmond papers alluded to above is a dispatch from Gen. Lee to Jeff. Davis, sav ing that the rebel Gen. Paxton is killed, toncwall Jackson seriously wounded, and Gens. Heath and A. P. Hill also badly, wounded Another rebel dispatch stales that the rebel loss In killed and wounded has been very heavy. We may add that it is understood here (Washington) that the position which Gen, Hooker has occupied since moving a short distance from Chancellorsvillc on Sunday last, Is impregnable. Uc and his whole Army Corps were yester- day morning in the best spirits, and the senti ment of entire confidence in the entire result of his admirable strategy and tactics was uni versal. The following is a partial list of officers re- ported killed during the battles at Chancel- lorsville; Major Gen. Berry, of Maine, while gallantly fighting. Col. &cKnl"ht, 105 th Pa. Col. Lancaster, ITBtb Pa. Col. Stalnrook, 100 th Pa, Col. Slovens, 4th Excelsior Brigade. Lieut. Col. Scott. 8d WTs. Lieut. Col. Setapln, 86th N. Y. Maj. Keenan. Stn-Pa. Cav. *Maj. Strncc, 46th Pa. Capt. Ellsworth, BCth N. Y. Since the Ist edition of to-day’s went to press wo have farther important news. Stoneman’s force was divided into three col- nmns, one of which, that goinginthe tlon of the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad, he conducted in person, though the havoc worked from Hanover J unction down to within five miles of Richmond was made by a sub-division under the command of Cok Davis. One of the three columns commanded by Brig. General Avcrill, after crossing the Rap pahannock at Kelly’s Ford, pushed to Brandy Station near Culpepper, ■where he met the cn croys pickets and drove them hack in short metre. . „ It then pushed on in the direction of Cul pepper Court House, where General Fitzhngh Lee and Wm. Henry Lee were found with a rebel force of perhaps 500 cavalry, which fled precipitately hack across Cedar Mountain. At Culpepper Court House Gen. Averill captured a lot of rebel government flaar, aud then pushed on after the rctreatingLecs, fol lowing them to Rapidau Station, where they burned the railroad bridge over which they retreated after a smart fight, in which they lost Col. Rasser, late of the United States Army, who commanded one of their brigades. Our loss there was inconsiderable, and they lost several killed besides CoL Rasser; also thirty-one prisoners whom Gen. Avcrill brought bach home. According to the Richmond papers of yes- terday, Longstreet in person joined Lee some days ago, but was accompanied by none of the troops with which ho had been operating be fore Suffolk. Brig. Gen. A. W. Whipple, who was wounded In the recent engagement In which Gen. Berry was killed, died yesterday at 12 o'clock m. By way of illustrating the wildness of rebel newspapers concerning the recent events, wo may mention they claimed yesterday that Lee had actually driven Hooker’s army across the Rappahannock on Sunday. The latest information from Ac battle-field states that the aggregate rebel loss in the four days’ fighting has been far larger than ours, which Is natural enough, as they were necessarily in every case the attacking party, and followed their old practice of massing their troops very heavily against the points they selected to assail, thus presenting nume rous opportunities for our artillery to mow them down In great numbers. The Richmond papers of yesterday claim that Lee took in the engagement of Saturday took 5,000 of the 11th army corps as prison ers. . This is the corps that behaved so badly on Saturday. The object of Avcrill’s expedition seems to have been to destroy this Rapidau bridge, which the enemy in their panic did for him. After proceeding as far as Orange Court Bouse, he returned with his force to the main army, joining it at Chncellorsville on Sunday last. Another column of Stoncman’s force, under command of Gen. Buford, which left the Rappahannock at the same time, pushed on dirccUy towards Gordonsville, and positive ’information has just been received, announc ing its success in cutting the Central railroad between Gordonsville and Richmond, and also between Gordonsville and Charlottesville, thus with the achievements of the column in destroying the railroad between Fredericks burg and Richmond, completely stopping the railroad communication in any direction out from Lee’s main army, and breaking up for the time being, .the enemy’s facilities for for warding supplies or reinforcements for it from any direction. A steamer arrived this forenoon at Wash ington, with 460 rebel prisoners, taken in the late engagements. Most of them were in the fight of Saturday. Among them arc about fifty officers, several of them being Colonels. They mostly belong to North Carolina and Alabama regiments. About 1 o’clock a de tachment of Pennsylvania reserves took them J in charge and marched them to the Soldiers’ I Rest. There arc a few wounded among them, who wqfc taken on ambulances to the bar racks. Many of them were taken by General Sickles, in his brilliant dash upon the rebel lines. Gen. Mott, wounded in the late battles, ar rived In this city to-day. Gen. Sickles, we learn, was slightly wound ed In the arm, on Sunday morning. Gen. Gray was also slightly wounded. Among the rebel prisoners brought up yes terday, Isa son of Ex-Senator A. G. Brown, of Mississippi, and a f&w others who are well known about Washington. Cape. E. B.

There are reports in the city that Sedgwick, with his whole force, has rt-crosscd the Rap pahannock. There is not a word of truth In the statement. Yesterday (Tuesday) Sedgwick moved against the rear of Lee’s right, which was commanded by Stonewall Jackson before he was wounded, and pierced it, and formed a junction with Hooker’s main army. Severe fighting, with great loss to the ene my, was the result of the manoeuvre. By this movement, of course, .Sedgwick abandoned the works of Fredericksburg, which are of no real value to Hooker in the execution of the programme he is evidently performing. Tho latter is satisfied with his position. Wc not only have positive information from Chancellorsville of the thorougbjexecntion of Stouemanc’s work, in cutting the railroad and telegraph wire between Lee’s army and Rich rrotd, but also the common road bridges over the Pamnnky River. Wo have the authority of distinguished officers who have arrived here from tho field, that although the fighting has been severe thus far, that severe battles are yot to be fought. Richmond papers of yesterday morning an nounce that the Yankees have cut all the rail- road and telegraph lines, and destroyed all the bridges on the traveled roads between that city and Lee, and that in consequence they were without any other nows than such as was brought by horsemen. At last accounts the fighting was terrible, and their losses severe. Gen. Paxton was killed. Stonewall Jackson was severely wounded, aud Gen. A. P. Hill was also badly wounded. In addition to the above, there are many facts which we don’t choose to state, going to show that the situation is decidedly to tbe advantage of Hooker. Those who came up from Falmouth, Frede- ricksburg and Aqnia Creek estimate the num- her of prisoners captured by our army, and seen at the different points around, to bo be- tween ten aud twelve thousand. They arc wretchedly dressed and half starv Ed, and many of them arc as young as sixteen and seventeen years of age, while many others sire as old as fifty and sixty. They seem to be delighted to gel where they can obtain some thing to cat. Many of them ask for meat, de* daring that they have not had any for a long time. They confirm tho statement of Blch- mond papers, that the rebel losses in officers and ineu have been very great. New Yoke, May G.—The Tribune's corres pondent, writing from Falmouth, Tuesday morning, says: Tho rebels have regained Fredericksburg, but cannot hold it. The reb els arc thought to have pontoons, but meas ures have been taken to prevent a raid across the river, A New York Times correspondent, with Sedgwick, gives further details of the Frede ricksburg light, bnt nothing new, except a a postscript of Monday forenoon, stating that a considerable body ol rebels had made their appearance below Fredericksburg, marching on that place to gain a position in the rcar.bf Sedgwick’s corps. This force was judged to be Longst reefs, bnt his attempt to retake the bills was unsuccessful. The librM’scorrcspondont, datinglOo’elock Monday morning, says: Sedgwick fins pressed on towards Hooker. Gibbon's division is left to guard the bights in tbe rear of Fredericks burg. They have been attacked by the rebels in large force, and are in dancer of losing their position, and abandoning Ircdericksbnrg al together. From Sedgwick’s corps, the Herald prints the following in subsfcincc: It appears that after the great struggle of Sunday, Lee detached a large body to meet Sedgwick, and it was known that LongHreet was rapidly approaching, getting In Sedg wick's rear at the same time. Early on Mon day morning large masses of rebels appeared on the bights, east of Fredericksburg, where wc had but a small force, having sent a huge force to strcngthen^Sedgwlck. The position was relinquished after short resistance, having first removed all ourguns. Some fighting occurred above Fredericksburg, believed to have been an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Longstrcet moving up. The rebels interposed no objection to our holding Fredericksburg, which wc still retain. Sedgwick was hotly engaged all day Mon day, the rebels pressing him at all points, and bis men were obliged to give way to the over whelming masses of the rebels, and his dis comfiture seemed certain, when a Vermont brigade made a ferocious charge, repulsing them, and securing the safety 01 that portion of the afmy. The slaughter of the enemy here and near Banks’ Ford was perfectly ter rible, whole brigades of rebels being wiped out. Sedgwick, however, recrossed the river in the face of the enemy, after midnight, the enemy raking our brigades with artillery, causing great loss of life. He succeeded in getting across in comparatively good order, and marched Immediately to the United States ford to join Hooker's main army. The New York Tribune publishes an extra with about the same account as the above. Regarding the operations about Fredericks burg, it is generally agreed'that the rebels have re-occupied Fredericksburg,' and hold the town. The bights below are jointly occu pied by us and the rebels. A portion of the bights occupied by ns on Sunday rooming were retaken after a desperate resistance, by fresh reinforcements from Longstreet’s corps. FROM THE RIGHT WING. New York, May 6.—The New York Trib- Hue's correspondent with Hooker, writing at sunrise on Monday, says; The guns arc’al ready thundering on our left. It is believed that to day will prove the most disastrous to the rebels. Over eix thousand rebel prisoners have been brought in. They report that Jackson Is la command of the rebel army, and that rein forcements hare been sent them from North Carolina and the Peninsula. Our loss Is heary. The rebel General Hill was killed. Another correspondent witn Sedgwick's Army Corps, dating Monday morning, says: The battle opened at daylight, and is still going on, on the hill at the extreme left. Gib bon's division of the 2d Corps, returned to Falmouth last night, and Hill’s brigade has gone over. All non combatancs are leaving, except Surgeons. The cracking of musketry nears we. and rifle pits are even being erected on our side of the river to protect the bridges. The New York Tinua correspondent with Hooker, writing Sunday night, says: General Howard hoe been rc-organizing the 11th Army Corps, which has- been placed on dutv again. The headquarters of Hooker, to-night, are under a tree. The Ucra W’scorrespondcnec, Monday night, says: Heavy firing in the direction of Cnan ccllorsviUe has been continued ail the mom ing. There has been a great battle there. Large reinforcements had arrived to the one my, apparently from Richmond. A Washington correspondent says that Hooker took from 6,000 to 15,000 prisoners, and lost about G,OOO. * Hooker is represented to be in a good po sition. * The following is from the BerdUTs extra: Our messengers from Hooker's army bring details of his movement to Monday night, ana the movements of Sedgwick to 2 o’clock Tuesday morning. Hooker maintained his new line on the edge of the woods,* and a short dislanoe north of ChancellorsvlUe,cross ing the main road leading to the United States Ford, without important change. There was no fighting there until late Monday afternoon, when a division of the sth corps advanced . towards Fredericksburg, meeting the rebel skirmishers In the woods, and driving them back. The main body pushed on, meeting large bodies of rebels in double line of battle. Bau an hour’s fighting ensued, our batteries compelling the rebels to fall back in disorder. The division then returned to our main line, and rested, having ascertained, the enemy’s position. Hooker, on Sunday night and Monday, en trenched himself, and is abundantly able to resist any rebel attack. The fighting on Monday was not as general or sanguinary as was anticipated, it was thought that Tuesday’s battle would be de cisive. The Impression among the pasaea- CHICAGO, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1863. gers from Aqnia Creek was that Hooker would hold his own. The news is very indefinite, up to Tuesday at 3p. m., beyond the fact that many thou samib on both sides had been killed and wounded, and that the fight had been in pro gress place last "Wednesday. It is also thought that, although the rebels have re occupied Fredericksburg, it was a part of Hooker’s plan, and that they would either be bagged or be annihilated. • RmLADELimA, May &—3 p. m.—The BuXU tin says: A private dispatch has been reccivedat noon to-day from a perfectly trustworthy source, the tenor of which is as follows; The authorities at Washington are perfectly confident of Hooker’s success. He can main tain his position. Beinforcemen's to the number of SO,tXX), under Helntzelman, have been sent him. The Inquirer contains the following from Washington : The news from Hooker Is conflicting and meagre, the Government not permitting the news to be divulged. The news from the extreme right Is satis facioiy. Heintzelman is said to be near with reinforcements from Washington. FROM WASHINGTON. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Wabbikgtok, May 6,1963. Recruiting has been commenced for the colored regiments designed to be raised in this district. A beginning was made of con trabands, thirty of them responding to.the call last night. There was a public meeting at Ashbury (colored) chapcL Speeches were made by white persons, and the result of the effort thus far is the number of 150 names on the roll. [Special Correspondence Chicago Tribune.} Washington, Monday, May 4—Op. m, Unless, before this can reach you by mail, you receive dispatches announcing the final * success of Hooker’s operations, you are not likely to get any news ■whatever of the move* ment, save what the mail affords. The Government has positively forbidden the transmission of a line about tho battle by t clegmph, whether good or had. You cannot even telegraph to an inquiring mother that her son is safe, or that he is killed. Hooker sends no reports here, and tho Government tries to prevent any from going out from here. To give them justice, it must be added that they have at last stopped the shameless out rage of permitting the Washington papers to publish what Northern papers were refused to send by telegraph. For the first time in the war, Washington papers arc compelled to remain absolutely barren of news. NewTork papers, however, arc smuggling their correspondents up from the army, and sending them through direct to New York, .with accounts which are published immedi ately on their arrival. This news is then tele graphed West to the afternoon papers, from New York; though not a word of it can be sent from here. The news, up to this honr, may be summed up thus: The serious fighting began on the right near Chancellorsville, on Saturday. There was heavy skirmishing all day, but about four in the afternoon two rebel Corps made a sud den onset on the portion of our front held by Howard’s Division, putting it to rout almost immediately. Hooker reformed the lines and the ground was contested obstinately, but on tbc whole, the action may be set down as somewhat in the nature of a reverse to us. It continued till eight at night, some accounts eay even later still, Sunday morning the action was renewed at Chancellorsville, the rebels violently attack ing our extreme right, at or before daylight. It raged all day, with results on the whole favorable to us, but not decisive of the final result. Meantimc at daybreak our other two Corps took Fredericksburg with little or no opposi tion, and almost Immediately-charged on tbc fortifications beyond, using nothing but the bayonet. These fortifications were held by a rebel force only strong enough to man the guns. They kept up a destructive fire till our men were almost inside the intrench ments. TVc however carried tbe works with a whirl, and instantly deployed ont into the plains beyond, but without meeting any seri ous force. Tho rebels had partially disman tled their works by taking the guns to use in their attack on Hooker at CUanccllorsviUe. - So matters stood last night, as nearly as facts can be sifted from tbe myriad rumors that every honrconvnlscthe Capital. To-day it is understood that the fight began again at an early hour; and the latest arrivals say that this must prove a decisive day, ifebcl pris oners say that [Gen. Early was to move this morning, against onr force the entrench ments at Fredericksburg, and, if possible, drive ns out again. On onr side we have in numerable stories of Generals and other offi cers killed; but none areas yet well enough established to be worth repeating. The feel irg here is confident, but not buoyant. Tho President is believed to have gone down this morning. Lateb.—l have just learned on authority I think good, that on intercepted dispatch from Lee, to Richmond, is just received, saying that be has but 35,000 men, and that if he is not reinforced speedily, he must surrender. The President is jubilant, and is praising Hooker extravagantly; and Stanton said within half an honr, that Hooker is the great man of the age. Prisoners arc arriving all tho time.

AFFAIRS ON THE MIS ~ SISSIPPI. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.} Caibo, Hay 6,1663. The steamer Hannibal City arrived from be- low to-day. She left Young’s Point on Fri day morning. Her pilot reports that in the attack on Haines’ Bluff on Thursday last, the gnnboata were repulsed with more or less damage to several of them. The Choctaw was crippled inherwheel, and her turret was penetrated by a sixty-four pound shot. Onr loss in killed and wounded is reported at eighty. Our infantry force was not landed, and the whole fleet was coming out of tho Yazoo River, when the Hannibal City left on Satur day. The steamer Era was fired into by a body of rebels at Greenville, Mias t with two pieces of artillery, one twelve and one elx-ponuder. She was struck seven times out of twenty eight shots fired. She, however, ran by the battery, and reported to the Mosquito boat, which was at anchor above. Before the gun boat could get down, the steamer Duke of Argylecame up, having a twelve-pounder on board. With this, she greatly surprised the rebels, who took to their scrapers. The gun boat afterwards came down and threw a shell in the direction the rebels had taken. Gen. Steele's brigade was in Greenville not more than a week ago. As soon as he moved out the rebels moved In. In a skirmish back of Helena, last Thurs day, the 3d lowa lost Sergeants Riggs and Ewing, company K, and John Macy, and an other private, company A, killed; mortally •wounded, Corps.

Adjutant Lowe, son of the ex-Goicmor, was slightly wounded in the leg, and taken prisoner, but subsequently re taken. A foraging party of Fedcrals from German town, on Saturday, brought in fifty head of cattle, and sixty mules. The hands captured on the gravel train ncarGrand Junction, have been retaken by a squad of Federala. Provisions in abundance are going down to Memphis. Before this yon aye probably aware of the arrest of C. L. Valiandighain yesterday mom ing, by a force of 150 soldiers. He was brought to Cincinnati and placed in the care of the military authorities. His friends at this place felt somewhat gore over the perfor mance, and in the afternoon every horse and buggy belonging to the sympathizing* gang were occupied in ferrying in fresh recruits to aid in setting the city on fire and tearingdown the State Prison, in order to make away with Brown, who murdered Boilmeycr and the re cent editor of the Empire, At S- o'clock the mob gathered around the Journal office and fired at least two hundred shots into the building. Fortunately there was no one in the office when tho firing commenced, else, perhaps, there might -have been a severe loss of life. At half-past 8 o’clock tho building was set on fire, and tbe flames spread rapidly to adjoining buildings, causing a great de. struction of property. All tbc city bells then commenced to pcaL The city was all in an uproar, and for a time one would suppose that the army of the Poto mac had. been here, men, women and children having lined the streets and sidewalks in all directions. At half-past nine the telegraph wires were cut down and obstructions placed upon the railroad tracks running from this city to Cin cinnati and Colnmbns, in order to stop the passage of troops to this place, but all to no effect, for tho troops arrived, but at a very late hour; 115-men from Cincinnati and 103 from Columbus, which arrival immediately put a stop to all farther disaster. Wm. T. Logan, editor of the Yollandigham organ here, was arrested at Philadelphia and scut to Cincinnati, there to abide the same late with the chief conspirator himself. The soldiers are performing the work of reforma tion rapidly, and have succeeded to-day In capturing some ten of the riugleadeto,besides several others strongly imbued in sympathiz ing with the work of treason. The loss of properly is variously estimated, but snppo posed to be somewhere in the neighborhood of *250,000. The butternuts concerned in the riot ore to be taxed, each equivalent to his means, until a sum is raised to defray the loss connected with their hellish impunity,besides a term in the penitentiary.

He was to review and address the troops at Helena yesterday. The release of Senator Green and George TY. Wall, late of the Constitutional Convention at Cairo, has caused quite a sensation here. If the dispatch from Cairo be correct, these men have placed themselves in a most humil iating position. The nfiair, however, proves that the order of Gen. Burnside is having a most salutary effect. A gentleman from that part of the State, In forms me, however, that he fears the release of these men will have a bad effect there; that it will encourage the Copperhead wing of the Democratic party in their opposition to the Government, and especially to the conscrip tion, which In that case, will have to be en forced at the point of the bayonet Hon.
