The Chronicie exposes various errors of state- ment in Schalk's criticisms upon Hooker’s late campaign. OUR MILITARY BUDGE ee Important from Grand Gulf and Vicksburg. LS, INTERCEPTED LETTER OF A REBEL OFFICER. ee THEY ADMIT THAT THEY WERE BADLY PEPPERED AT GRAND GULF, AND DREAD THE ADVANCE OF GRANT IN THE REAR OF VICKSBURG. 2 THE REBELS ABANDON ALL HOPE OF RE- GAINING A FOOTHOLD IN ARKANSAS, a ES, A BATTLE HOURLY EXPECTED BETWEEN BRAGG AND ROSECRANS. =o gee The following is a copy of a letter found in rebel mail bag captured by Admiral Porter on the Ist instant: Granpv Gutr. Apfil30, 1563.—Dear Ainsworth After a long silence I write again. Grand Gulf, if you do not know, is forty miles below Vicksburg, on the Mississippi, at the mouth of Big Black. We came here two weeks ago, and dave had hot work ever since. The enemy, from their gunboats, bave shelled us every day since. Yesterday our batteries gaye them a fight. The firing beat Oak Hill, Elkhorn, Co. rinth, Hutching’s Bridge, or anything I ever heard. I believe, too, they gave us rather the worst of it. We did not.sink a single boat, while they silenced one of our batteries, dis- mounting four pieces, killing Col. Wade (com- manding artillery) axd one of Wis staff, and sqme five or six men. ‘The Yankees haye a force of some thirty thousand men on the other side of the river, opposed to about six or seven thonsand of our men on this side. It is their object to effect a landing on this side of the river, and move round in rear ef Vicksburg, I fear they will make it. ~ suppose by the time you shall haye receive. ‘bis, you will have news of the Yankee cay ‘ry raid from 4uka, via Golumbns and Entery, ise, thyonzh te Natchez. This is a positive fact. They did it with about 1500 picked men—burned Colum- bus, destroyed Newton Station, moved on to the Central railroad, south of Jackson, de- Stroyed the track and depots for twenty miles, and spiked one of our biggest guns, destined for this point. The battle of Tullahoma is hourly expected. Bragg was bringing up his entire force when jast beard from, and skirmishing had com- menced. We have almost given up the idea of ever going across the river into Arkansas, as oid Pap Price promised in leaving. As for my Single celf, I don’t care a siraw—I am glad we are trom under him. He is not such aman as ‘Van Dorn. or Bowen, our present division commander. My health has never been better than at present. Health and spirits of this army good Disaffection is neyer heard, and desertions meyer occur. @ ALFRED Mitcurte. ITEMS FROM DIXIE. The Richmond Hustings Court, we see by the Richmond papers of the 7th, is yet engaged fining and imprisoning women engaged in the | memorable bread riots in that city. Wm. Padgitt, represented by the Richmond Examiner as a young fellow claiming to be but a few weeks from Washington city, was taken out of # house of ill-fame in Richmond a day | or twosince, and required to give bonds in $500 that he would clear out of Dixie and re- turn to Washington forthwith. The arrival in Richmand of ist Lieut. G. R. Andrews, and 2d Lieut. G. W. York, of ist Maine cavalry, prisoners to Gen. W. H. Lee’s force, is announced by the Examiner. Also, of $1 of the 2d Illinois. mciuding Captains W. ‘Wallace and Jacob Smith, and 2d Lieut. J. J. Fletcher, taken in Western Virginia by Gens, Imboden and Jenkins. GUESSING STRATEGISTS. No sort ef improbability seems too wild for military journalists of the New York Tribune order, and there has been no little snickering in Washington over the “guesses” of that pa- | per te the effect that Lee pushed off, on the | ‘Tuesday that Hooker made his retrogade move- , ment, to Richmond, arriving there just in sea- | son to prevent its capture by Dix, Keyes, Peck , @nd King; and that «Hooker (the Tribune is sure of this fact), with his army freshly pro- | yisioned, crossed the Rappahannock during ¥Wriday night and found but a screen of pickets . in his front and no enemy worth mentioning this side of the North Anna!” Not 8 word of truth in the whole of this rigmarole, the two armies (up te the present writing certainly) facing each quite as usual . from opposite banks of the Ra»pahannock, | nd the Confederates showing themselves in| undiminished if not increased force in their encampments there. And yet it is precisely these illy-posted “guessers” who are most prone to map out campaigns for our generals to*tollow and to dictate dogmatically as to the conduct of the war! RUMORED REBEL RAID AT POOLRSVILLE. There is a rumor afloat of a rebel raid at Poolesyille yesterday in force strong enough to dosome mischief. From what we can learn there is nothing in the story, and it seems to be a partofthesame scare that prevailed in George- town last night. From this rumor came others to the effect that the rebels crossed at Ed- ward's Ferry to the number of 25,000, and sim- ilar preposterous canards with which secesh amuses itself to-day. Cur forees at Poolesville cons sts of three companies of Scott's 900, 8 brigade of infantry and two batteries. A FALSE ALARM, Some alarm was created in Georgetown last night by arumor circulated to the effect that some of Stuart’s or Moseby’s cavalry were making 4 demonstration on the opposite side of the river, as if preparing t+ attempt to cross. Switable provision was made to give them a hot reception should they appear, but it proved to be labor lost, as no rebs made their appearance. OONSCRIPT OFFICER CAPTURED. SS enny. of Montgomery county, Md., a rebel conscript officer, was arrested: yeater- day at Rectortown by General Stabel’s com- ; mand and sent to this city to Colonel Baker, | Provost Marshal. Upon his person were found | several papers—among them his oath of alle. giaace ta the Conf: derate Scates. | They were then occupying } confirmation. & D mad . JAMES HALL, 65 Second st, | May 12th at 4 THEIR PRESENT FORCB, ¢ —>——— AN ASSAULT BY FRENCH TROOPS BEPULSED BY THE MEXICANS. > San Francisco, May 11.—Dates from the City of Mexico to the 16th and Puebla to the 14th of April, have been received. The French had gained nothing since the 6th. the Castle of San Janvier and six blocks of the city. On the 12th Ortega wrote that the condition of the city was : unchanged, and exprefses confidence that the French could not take and hold it. The French were bombarding the convents of San Augus- tine Corner and Merced. An attempt to capture , them by assaults failed; the Mexicans cap- turing a considerable number of prisoners from one Zouave regiment. Guerillas continue to annoy the French sup- ply trains. A targe force is concentrated at the City of Mexice. Comonfort held the road thence to Puebla. Deserters informed him that many French officers considered it im- possible to take Puebla with the present force. All the houses of that city proved to be forti- fied castles. WRIT OF BABEAS CORPUS APPLIED FOR IN VALLANDIGHAM’S CASE, ESS PSE BUELL COURT OF INQUIRY ADJOURNED. ees CINCINNATI, May 12.—A motion for a writ of jrbeas corpus in VaHandigham’s case was ar- gued yesterday before Judge Leavitt, of the U. S.Cireuit Court. The argument will be con- tinued to-day. The Buell Gourt of Inquiry concluded its labors yesterday and adjourned sine die, The court has been in session one hundred and sixty-tive days. ANOTHER REBEL RAID ERN VIRGINIA. PITTSBURG, May 11.—The Rebels made a raid to Burning Springs Oil wells, and de- stroyed the wells. They burned the boats and destroyed a large quantity of oil springs on the WEST- ‘Kanawha River, thirty miles from Parkers- burg, in Wirt county, ten miles from the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad. Pittsburg parties haye suffered severely. a A Fixx STeEAMsHIP.—The steamer Nelly Pentz. recently from Baltimore and now lying at the wharf ot Morgan and Rhinehartin this city, is well worthy ofa visit from those interested in such matters, as she is as fine a specimen of the skill ef the mechanics of Balti- more in preparing ships to carry immense burdens, and in finishing them off, as ever came out ef ihatharbor. We presume she is here tor a charter from the government, as she is but recently ont of the hands of the Balu- more ship builders. A CornnxcTion.—The types yesterday made & paragraph in our article upon the approach- ing election an absurdity. Thus. we were printed as saying that the re-election of Messrs. Dixon. Douglas and Forsyth “would be the greatest possible disappointment to the seces- sionists here and the greatest blow to the Union cause in Washington”—instead of as written, “and their defeat would be the great. est blow to the Union cause in Washington.” mz Fr8m General Foster's department we learn that on the Sth instant a report reached our forces at Newbern, N. C., that the banks of | Werth Carolina had refused to pay the assess- ment made upon them by the Richmond gov- ernment, and that Governor Vance sustained them in their resolves. Moreover, the Gov- ernor again makes his threat, plainly intimated some time since to the rebel authorities, that | unless more respect be paid to the rights of the i Old North State, he will recall her troops now | in the Contederate army #7 The Memphis Bulletin says that Jackson, Mississippi, has been invested by Gen. Grant, | and the Rebel retreat from Vicksburg thus cut | off, as well us their supplies stopped. The re- { port, like all coming trom Memphis, needs w?It is understood that Gen. Buford, with his light brigade, has penetrated to the Alle- ghany ridge in Western Virginia, having de- . strojed the Richmond and Tennessee Rail- road in several places, and otherwise seriously dainzged the property of the Rebel army. If this railroad has really been cut this will prove good news indeed. &@ Various of our cotemporaries are trying hard to tell their readers that Hooker has again ‘giving intelligence to the enemy, did it happen to be true.

Y. Commercial Advertiser) Fortrxss Mowros, May ¥.—On Toursday Gen. Dix ordered a movement to be made on | West Point, terminus of the York river and mouth of the Pamunkey; nd to this end sent | 8 conbiderable force, to aid the command of Major General E. D. Keyes, at Yorktown. The movement was rapidly and successfully ac- complished, and artillery, cavalry and infant- ry landed in an incredibly short time. As s00n as a footing was obtained General Keyes, who commanded the EL Gratien sent a detachment of two companies of the oth New York, under command of Major Wm. P. Hall, to the White House for the purpose of destroy- ing the rail road bridge such rolling stock of the York river rail road as they might find on their way. Major Hall pushed forward at & rapid rate, and on coming to the ~White House crossed the river, destroyed one train and locemotiye and burnt the bridge, not with- standing the enemy in force continuously fired upon him. On his return he recaptured Lieut. Este, aid to Col. Kilpatrick, of the Ira Harris light cavalry, and ten men who were taken prisoners by the Virginia militia during | Stoneman’s raid on the peninsula. j Besides the destruction of the bridge oyer the | Pamunkey at the White House, and the con- | struction of earthworks at West Point by Major C. S. Stewart, chief engineer of this de- partment, nothing of any note has been done, as far as I can learn. $ This movement of General Dix, however, will tend to withdraw a large force from Lee's army, inasmuch as our forces on the peninsula threaten Rebel communications to a great ex- tent; and the Rebels can have no desire taallow our troops to make an advance on their capital by way of Savage station, Gaine’s farm, &c. see ee ED VOR SUBVEYOR—Ixomranoext Cxcos- DITIONAL Union Canoipats, WILLIAM W.

HEADQUARTERS AnMy NorrHeRN Vir- GIsia, May 7, 1503.—General Orders, No. 59.— With heartfelt gratification the General com- manding expresses to the army his sense of the | heroic conduct displayed by officers and men during the arduous operations in which they have just been engaged. Under trying vicissitudes of heat and storm you attacked the enemy, strongly entrenched in the depth of a tangled wilderness, andagain j cn the hills of Fredericksburg, fifteen miles distant, aud, by the valor that has triumphed on so many fields, forced him once more to seek safety beyond the Rappahannock. While this glorious victory entitles you to | the praise and gratitude of the nation, we are | especially called upon to return our grateful {th ks to the only Giver of victory for the sig- | nal deliverance He has wrought. It is therefore earnestly recommended that the troops unite on Sunday next in ascribingto the Lord of Hosts the giory due unto His name, Let us not forget in our rejoicing the brave soldiers who have fallen in defence of their country, and while we mourn their loss let us resolve to emulate their noble example. The army and ihe country alike lament the ‘absence, tora time, of one to whose bravery, energy and skill they are so much indebted for success. i The following letter from the President of | the Confederate Siates, is communicated to the | army as an expression of his appreciation of | itssuccess: | “LT haye received your dispatch, and reyer- ently unite with you in giving praise toGod tor the success with which He has crowned our arms. «In the name of the people, I offer my cordial thanks to yourself and the troops under your command for this addition to the unprecedented series of great victories which your army has achieved. “The universal rejoicing produced by this happy result will be mingled wtih a general regret for the good and the brave whoare num- bered among the killed and wounded.” R.E. Lee, General. ¥ROM THE SOUTHWEST. Jackson, April7.—Amofficer who left Natch- itoches Saturday reports that Banks’ army has been divided into three columns—one fortifying the town of Opelousas, one at Atchafalya and one at Baton Rouge. Bunks has seized all the negroes and stock on the Goyernor’s plantation. Gen. fa Smith has arrived at Alexandria from Agkausas with reinforcements—Walker’s ‘Texas brigade. Gen. Smith is confident of his ability to drive Banks back to Berwicks. Three powerful Confederaie gunboats are at Alexandria, aboye the falls. The wheat crops in Texas are unprecedent- ly promising. Gen. Magruder’s headquarters have been qenones to San Antonio. Five gunboats passed Natchez on Sunday night, and four ascended Red river. DEATH OF GEN. VAN DORN. Official information has been received con- firming the death of Maj. Gen. Van Dorn, at Spring Hill, Tenn., on the 7th inst. ¥ROM FREDERICKSBURG. The last of the four ambulance trains due on Thursday, reached the city at 11 p, m., bring- ing 1,100 wounded, whieh makes the whole number received since the battle up to that time foot up 2,000. The EHzaminer thinks there is getting to bea much too free admixture ot the bayonet in all the affuire of lifé. There seems to be a growing opinion amongst the officers that the common- est affairs cannot be performed without it, CATTURRD ARMS—GOBSIP OF YANKEE PRIe SONERS. The last of the trains just mentioned come from Hamilton’s Crossing. In a conversation with Capt. Blakely, the mail agent, we heard some interesting details. J At Hamilton’s Crossing there are more mus- kets piled on either side of the road than haye ever been seen together since the war. They were left on the battle fields by the Yankees, and many thousand more there are which hays not yet been collected. ‘The number of cannon captured by our army is not yet known, butis said to be over 50. It is doubtful whether the pieces taken from the Washington Artillery were recaptured, It is most probable the enemy hurried them to the rear, that they might hereafter be paraded as trophies and boasted over. The Yankees admit that, they were awfully beaten, but say it was owing to the fact which they never cease to proclaim that they have no generals. They believe their troops areas good as ours, but that we beat them by the superior skill of our generals. Many of the prisoners say that Hooker fell, or was knocked from his horse during the battle of Sunday. They know nothing more than thal they saw him fall. This was doubtless the origin of the story that he had been wounded and had his leg taken off. One ofthe Yankee officers brought to this city, told a gentleman who was in conyers mn with him, that Burnside was not beaten at (redericksburg, but repulsed; but that Hooker had gotten, perhaps, the d——dest drubbing that ever a General had. All of our troops are jubilant over what they consider as beyond all comparison the great- est victory of the war, They say the victory of ihe 18th of December, was nota circamstance to it, From a surgeon who left Fredericksburg on Thursday we learn that the surgeons in Gen. Lee's army make the following approximate estimate of our loss in the recent battles: Wounded, : a7, : 9,100 ‘The enemy's loss is more a subject of conjec- ture, but from. the number of dead that encum- ber the groand for miles about Ubancellorsyille nty and twenty-five lying !—E4. Star.} HANNOCK. The subjoined Generai, Field and Staff eff. rived at the Libby prison up to yesterday af- ternoon. These officers seem to be impressed with considerable contempt for the Yankee administration, and many of them express @& determination to quit the service as soem as exchanged. Wm. Hayes, Brig.

The siege of Suffolk, which was kept up only some three or four weeks, enabled Gen. Lomg- street to gather up, besides large quantities of corn, over a million and a half pounds of bacon: At present market prices this would bring up- wards of $2,000,000. The Enquirer reports the following casual- ties in the Maryland Battery, Capt. Wm. De- ment: Killed—Dr. Philip Duvall of Anne Aruadeit county, Wm. Robey of Charles, Nehemiah Poilett of Somerset. Wounded—Lieut. John Gale of Somerset, Albert Tolson of Prince George's, Sergt. Alex. Young of Frederick, John Sharp, Richard Sleidham and Charles McNeil of Baltimore. The Fredericksburg correspondent of the Enquirer makes the ridiculous allegation that the number of Federal small arms which will gathered from the field of battle cannot be less than 30,000, and may perhaps go as high as 50,000; while the quantity of blankets, over- coats, and the like, is far in excess of anything before known. * oa MAK: : — and behind Frederickaburg, and the prisoner: LATE TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. | EN.
