Averill, wn0 com- | manded the cavairy column sent in the direc- | tion of Culpeper and Gordonsvile, has been Telieved from command by Gen. Hooker, for | not carrying ont orders to push on to Ger- | donsville, and after destroying everything that would be useful to the rebels, then to return and rejoin our right wing. But instead of do- ing this it is said that after driving Fitzhugh Lee across the Rapidan, he halted for the night, and instead of resuming the chase next morning to Gordonsville, he returned to our army, which he joined on Sunday. His cay- alry division, itis said, has been turned over to Gen. Pleasonton. Gen. Averill has shown himself a gallant and daring officer, and his friends believe that | he will be fully exonerate himself to the tullest | in the matter. +00 Orxra.—Martha was given to a very fash- | ionable and enthusiastic house last evening, and had it not been for the terrible rain the theater would have been crowded. Madame Cordier, as usual, was extremely pleasing as Martha, and was encored in the «Last Rose of | Summer,” which electrified the audience. | Morensi was also a very good Nancy. Brigno- } li's voice showed to advantage in the solos of | the first act, less after that. A tenor with less | voice and more action would have been more satisfactory. Susini and Barili were not as ef- tective as usual. The quintett, in the tuird | act, the main gem of the opera, was finely ren- | dered. The dresses of the tenor and basso were not well chosen, and evidently belonged to | Massaniello or Lucresia, but not to Martha. The second horn was missing in the orchestra, | which was a great defect in the performance | of the overture and quintett. The choruses | were well sung. The opera, by itself, is so | pleasing, that the audience were kept in con- stant enthusiaem. PROBABLE CAUSE OF VALLANDIGHAM’S ABREST.—The correspondent of the Cincinnati | Gazette says that Vallandigham made a speech | in Columbus, Ohio, on Fast day, trom thesteps of the Capitol, to a yard full of Copperheads. | ‘The correspondent says he was as bitter and | seditious in his utterance as he dared to be, | with “General Order No. 38” staring him in | the face. He denounced “General Order {o. 38," declaring that for one he would not obe; it. Woether he was sincere in his declaration or | not, perhaps fature events will develop, at | he certainly did not possess the “backbone to | make it good last evening. He pronounced :he proceedings of the late Military Commissiciin Cincinnati, in condemning to death certain re- | bel spies found in our midst, as unconstitution- al; but ne did not say that the hanging by the minions of Jeff Davis of certain Ghio soldiers, sent by General Mitchell to destroy rebel com- munications, &c., was unconstitutional, New Mvsic.—From W.

The fact is, that Gevernor H. com- pels an obedience en the part of the Mormons to law and order, and a respect for the Federal authority, and General Cornor (in command of Camp Douglas), it is known, would not hesitate te punish any Mormon outrage by his artillery; and it is therefore desirable that the t “Saints” should get them outof their paradise.

Sippy, Jacob Sippy, Absalom Yeiser, Leander Frock, Emanuel Yeiser, Jacob Baum, Henry Frock, and Rich- ard Fauts, of Carroll county, Md., were arrest- ed @ few days ago and taken to Baltimore on a ehaige of being connected with an organization known as the Knights of the Golden Circle. | They confessed that they belonged to the erder, but had been persuaded to go inte it while ig- norant of its objects: and being willing to take the oath of allegiance were released.

VERY IMPORTANT FROM HOOKER’S ARMY. HOOKER’S RETURN. | INTERESTING FACTS CONCERN- ING IT. LEE’S LOSSES. HOOKER BRINGS OFF 2,500 PRISONERS. Hooker’s Communications Threat- ened by the Terrible Rains. ; He Re-establishes his Line of Communica- tions by Re-crossing the River, and Without Loss, Hooker's Whole Army Returned to this side of the Rap- pahannock, The reader will find elsewhere in to-day’s | Siar, an intelligible account of the occurrences near Fredericksburg since Tuesday at noon, to which time we yesterday published all the de- tails at hand. The storm that commenced on Monday even- ing and continued throughout Tuesday was at its height yesterday, evidently warned Gene- ral Hooker—whose movement was necessarily made with only eight days’ supplies, carried by the men (which were then nearly con- sumed), and without trains—of the imminent danger, that unless he promptly sought his camps the elements would put a stop to his operations; the railroad communication with Aquia Creek having been destroyed by the floods for twelve hours ut Brook’s Station be- tore he determined to recross theriver. In the course of all the fighting throughout Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the enemy had not ventured a general engagement with his army, only a portion of which was in action at any one time; and on no occasion with as great lo:s as he inflicted upon the rebels. Nevertheless, as it became evident that this greatest storm of the season would surely cut off his supplies of all descriptions, if he remained on the south side of the river awaiting 8n opportunity to induce the enemy to risk a general engagement, he evidently had left him but the only alternative of returning, for the time being, to where his supplies could readily Teach him. Yesterday, General Milroy captured a rebel officer, on whose person was fcund a fresh des- patch from Gen. Lee, «tating that his (rebel) loss had been “fearful.” The destruction of the railroad and turnpike bridges south of Fredericksburg by Stoneman’s force has surely placed the rebel army in even & worse position for zupplies than our own is at this time, as Hooker is now where his com- munications are already re-established; while their’s (with Richmond) must continue un- | available for weeks to come, necessitating them | to scatter or fall back in a body, it seems to us. On the whole, it is clear that a decisive vic- tory was snatched from our gallant troops only by the elements. Gen. Hooker brought off with him, we may add, an aggregate of 2,500 prisoners. THE HISTORY OF SEDGWICK’S MOVEMENTS. ‘A BLOODY FIGHT AND HEAVY LOSS ON HIS PART. —— HE RE-CROSSES THE RIVER ON MONDAY NIGHT. plate ios The Confederates play upon him their old game of massing their forces on our exposed points. seer res Gen. Sedgwick, it will be recollected, crossed his force on Saturday night last about two miles below Fredericksburg, and held them massed on the plain in his immediate front until daylight on Sunday morning, when he took possession of the town with little resis- tance. Throughout Sunday forenoon, until 11 &.m., the firing of the tremendous battle in which Hooker was engaged, seemed to occupy the attention of all under Sedgwick, and just as that fight ceased, a portion of S.’s force—two Pennsylvania regiments, one New York regi- thent and the 6th Maine, advanced against the enemy’s works at the left, and stormed them amid a heavy artillery fire from them, the last gun being fired just as one of our men hoisted the Stars and Stripes over them. Here it was that S. took the famous Washington battery, which he got off safely to the ether side of the river. He next took the rest of the worke—to the Tight—by a flank movement; Gibbons’ division, | that had crossed immediately in front of the | town, gallantly aiding him by storming those (works) immediately in the rear of the town. Having secured the works and the force of the } enemy in them that could not escape, Sedgwick soon massed his main force in the direction of | Chancellorsville, and remained for the night formed in line of battle with his right resting at a point about six or seven miles from Hooker's force. > Before daylight on Monday morning the enemy came back and re-occupied the works which Sedgwick had left when proceeding to attempt to join Hooker, and light also discov- ered them massed heavily on the hills to the Jeft and upon his front; their total force there | Qggregated being apparently between 60,000 and 70,000 men. Thus they were not only on his left fiank and front, but in the werks between him and Gibbon. Everything was comparatively quiet -until about 4 p.m. whea the rebels attacked from the lefty and were replied.to byl single section of artillery immediately in front of where they attacked. As their infantry moved up, Sedg- wick's artillery opered from all quarters, but could mot check their slow and steady advance undet which Sedgwick gradually fell back a | mile anda balf towards Banks’ Ford. This ‘was the main engagement of Monday afternoon, and lasted uatilO p.m. In it our loss was edout 4,000 killed, wounded and missing, ma- king the wtal loss of Sedgwick and Gibbons’ commands (inciuding those tost on the previous day) about 5,000, or half the whole lote of Hook- er's army in the fowr day's fighting. On that (Monday) night Bedgwick recrossed his forte and Gibbons’ tte north bank of the Rappa- banaock. It is evident that the Confederates played bere there old game of massing their troops ia. crushing force on our exposed points with rapid change of position, and that after throw- ing themselves with all their weight om Hook- er, they with great celerity moved off to repeat the blow upon Sedgwick’s detached force: und this factexplains that mysterious silence in front of Hooker, whilé they were thus occu- pied with Sedgwick.

The report was current here this afternoon that an attack was made yesterday evening or last night upon a large body of Yankees who ‘were moving up the south bank of the Rappa- hannock to unite with the main body of Hook- en's army. They were, according to the report, routed with heavy loss. The Contederate loss was 100 killed and wounded, chiefly Louisi- anians. Up to 12 o’clock m. no confirmation of the report has been received at the War De- partment. GorvonsvILLE, VA. May 1.—The enemy have advanced in strong force and now occu- py Culpeper U. H., and are near the Rapidan. Our troops are gradually falling back to Or- ange C. H. and this place, im good order. It is believed that a large body of the enemy’s cay- alry have gone from Culpeper to Madizon C. H. Firing was heard all day yesterday in the direction of Fredericksburg. One of the up trains last night got off the track near Freder- icks Hall, causing considerable delay. Forty- five Yankees, including two captains, go to Richmond by the train that carries this. They were taken near Stevensburg, Culpeper coun- ty, onthe 29th, and represent forty different regiments. The Whig atho states that a dispatch (not of- ficial) “ was received last night that a battle was fought yesterday on the Rappahannock, in which we were victorious and captured 5,000 prisoners.” Major Channing Price, of Gen. Stewart's staff, Killed in action, The Enquirer of May 5th has a dispatch from Gen. Lee, dated Milford, May 3d, wherein he claims that Jackson and Longstreet, on the 2d, penetrated to the Federal rear and drove him from all his positions from the Wilderness to within one mile of Chancellorsville, and that subsequently the Federals were dislodged trom all their positions around Chancellors. ville and driven back towards the Rappahan- nock. The same despatch acknowledges the wounding of Gen. Jackson severely, and of Gens. Heth and A. P. Hill slightly. The Enquires also has the following, which was received at the War Department: * GORDONSVILLE, May 4.—Dr. W. S. Norfolk left Chancellorville at3 p. m. yesterday. He reports that the fight wasstill going on at Fred- ericksburg. Gen. Jackson occupies all the fords except Ely’s, and had taken 5,000 prison- ers, and prisoners are still coming in. Our men are in fine condition. Our loss is heavy. All seems quiet in front. No enemy at Cul- peper. The Enquirer says the Yankee force lately engaged in raids upen the railroads was com- posed of twenty-eight regiments, 15,000 men, under Gen. Stoneman «The detachment of so large a body of men,” the Enquirer thinks, “while a battle like that just fought in Spott- sylvania is progressing, will remain one of the inexplicuble maneuvers of Yankee strategy.” The amount of injury done by this force the Enquirer sums up thus: “Three engines haye been partially destroyed, the rails torn up at several points on the lines, creating a delay of transportation of possibly two or three days.” The railroad bridge over the Chickahomiay was destroyed, and Col. Davis force then made its way over the Pamunkey at Old Church, and went on towards Gloucester Point or the Rappahannock. Another party under Col. Wyndham, passed through Louisa county towards Columbia on the canal, and being followed by Gen. H. F. Lee, were overtakened and dispersed, with the loss of 30 prisoners and 6 lailled. The destruc- tion or injury of the canal was prevented by Gen. Lee, who was unable to follow them up on their retreat from the low and jaded condi- tion of his horses.” Another party acting in concert with those operating at Ashland, visited Hanover Court House and burned the depot, doing no other injury worthy of note. They then proceeded down the north bank of the Chickahominy, directing their course towards Williamsburg. The Whig of the same date has the following: A telegraph operator, who arrived at Fred- erick’s Hall station near noon on Saturday, reports that the enemy (1,000 strong) came into Louisa Court Hense that morning at 3 o'clock, and tore up the railroad track for a distance of four miles, in the direction of Richmond. He left them still at the work. He states that reinforcements were coming to them very rapidly. At Trevillian’s, five miles higher up the road, they appeared 10,000 strong. 4 All the trains at and west of Gordonsville have been stopped, and none are between Beaver Dam and that point. So the enemy cannot injure us much in the destruction of cars, All the stores that were at the railroad station accessible to the enemy had been re- moved. It will therefore prove to them a fruitless movement, except the injury to the track, whicn can be repaired in less time than it will take them to tear up the rails. There are no bridges nearer than those over the Ri- yanna river and Moore’s creek, which are about 2 miles east of Charlottesville and 19 west of Gordonsville. Up to last evening we could gather no addi- tional facts in connection with the raid upon the Central. Information was brought to the city yester- day that the Yankees were at Ashland tearing up the track of the Richmond and Fredericks- burg Railroad, and burning the bridges. ‘The ambulance train failed to arrive, though it is known to have passed the Junction in time, and it is believed that it was captured. It is understood that the bridges on this route were guarded, and it is believed that the ope- rations of the Yankees will not extend further than what may have been done at Ashland. A report was current last evening that the Yankees yesterday visited Deitrick’s store, on the line of Goochland and Henrico counties, 16 miles from Richmond, and sacked the prem- ises. It is stated that they were worn out with fatigue, and apparently unable to proceed fur- ther. Other rumors are not worthy of notice, absence of confirmation, except the appearance of the Yankees at Peake’s store, on the Central Railroad, yesterday evening. The Central train arrived from Hanover Junction last evening about 7 o'clock, bring- ing 850 sick soldiers and 69 Yankee ers, The latter were captured in county on Friday last. es The Whig has the following despatches: TurLanoma, May 1—Gen. Forest met the enemy near Moulton yesterday, and repulsed him ina hand to-hand fight. The enemy are in full retreat; Porest is in full pursuit. -Al quiet in front. ANOTHER DISPATOH. Ozarranoces, May 1.—All quidt in front. ‘The enemy are within their eatrenchmests on Stone River, A special to the “Rebol” trom Hunteville, dated to-day,says ised Spoteyivania at Danville, fifteen miles from Decatur, and is | pursuing them. Our loss will not exceed 50. Our pickets are now beyond Courtland. The Battle at Grand Gulf, Miss. JacKsom, Miss, May 1.—The enemy ad- vanced and fighting commenced at Grand Gulf this morning at Wo’clook, and continued un- til 4, when the enemy w&s repulsed, The bat- tle was renewed at @ o’clock. Theenemy captured Wade's (Vs.) Battery, which was retaken by our troops this evening. The enemy has been driven a mile from the battle-field, and firing has ceased. Loss heavy on both sides. Gen. Bowen's horse was struck four times in a charge on the enemy. NATCHEZ, Miss., May 1.—A gentleman who lef} Alexandria, La., on Wednesday morning, brings intelligence that Banks ris not now, nor has he been nearer thas 50 miles of that place. He also reports that Gen. Moulin, with 1,500 cavalry, gained the enemy’s rear, and captured and destroyed 175 wagons belonging to their ordnance train. We make up the follgwing from the Whig's summary of news: e ‘What we at present kmow to have occurred is that the enemy crossing over the main body of their forces some miles above Fredericks- burg, had formed aline upon Gen. Lee’s left flank, and that he bringing up the principal portion of his army from and below Freder- icksburg, had faced them ina line nearly at right angles with the position hitherto occu- pitd by him. This afiorded the enemy an op- portunity to send a cavalry force to their rear and right to cut the Central Railroad. m the West in the Enquirer Dispatches fro! Gn St quire Jackson, Miss., May 2. ur troeps with- drew to their entrenchments at Grand Gulf. The enemy made three furious assaults and were repulsed. Parties of troops are at points where they will probably repulse or capture Grierson. Grierson has destroyed the Goy- ernment tannery near Magurlin. From Snider's Bluff. Jackson, May 1.—A dispatch from Snider's Bluff, states that theenemy maintained a steady fire yesterday on our works at Grave Yard Hill, temporarily disabling one gun. Deserters state that Sherman is in command on the flagship DeKalb. He has only ten regi- ments, averaging 3,000 men. The preeent dem- onstration is a feint. They also report two men killed on the turretted boat Choctaw. Over forty shots siruck the Choctaw. GENERAL HOOKER’@ ESTIMATE OF HIs LOSSE8. General Hooker, it is understood, estimates his losses in the late battles at about ten thous- and men, all told, killed, wounded, and mis- sing. It is believed that the rebel losses (which their officers admit were terrific) were nearly if not quite double this amount. ABIT OF BRAVADO, The rebels made a futile attempt two or three times on yesterday to shell our camps at Falmouth from the opposite side of the Rappa- hannock. They found their little piece of bra- vado was costing them powder and shell te no purpose, and finally abandoned it, ARRESTS IN GEN.
