The inteiliRence received here that the Army

ia faction, as it will tend to draw ofl a consider-
able number of Longstreet’s forces now beseig-
in« Suffolk, and give Maj Gen Dtx an opportu-
Sfy of driving tne rebels trom onr front and

^PhTpetwhoff Affair.
Of late there have been numerous rather
vague ailasione in ibe newspapers to the capture
of the Peterboff. As this case is one of consid
erable interest, ond iu not generally understood
we make the following abstract from an official
reports ..1
-The screw steamship Peterboff, captain 8
Jarmon, under British colors.'left Falmouth for
St. Thomas and Maumirason the 17th January
ulL On the 20th she was.boarded by a party
from a email schooner under the Dutcb'flag. A
steamer soon approached under theU S flag and
j find two guns ahead of ibe’Peterhofl's bow .end
then boardtd her. T*he boaiding officer, who
said he was Uoni the U S .steamer Alabama ex
arnined the Pmerhoff’s papers and allowed her
to proceed, declining to indorae hia visit and ex
a urination.
While at St. Thorn as’ harbor,' on the 25th of
February, Admiral Wilkes, of Trent nuioiiely,
arrived with the U S steamers Wachusett and
Otudia, and declared that the Alabama'should
ha*#ma'do a prire of th^Petcrhoff. Ca^it Jar
mou sailed out of .tho harbor, when be .saw the
U R,steamer Vanderbilt come up and exchange
signals with the Admiral inside, and as captain
Jarman afterwards heard, was order id to follow
him, • During that day be was-overtaken and
his vessel boarded. The boarding officer exam'
iued the Peieiboff's papers and directed that
she be kept hove to until he should visit the
Vanderbilt and return. That evening he return
ed and leported that the papers wpre quite sats
ialaciory. andT requested captain Jbriiion to go
ou board the Vanderbilt with his paper's, inform
ing him at the same time that it he refused, an
armed boat’s crew would be sent for him to' take
him by force. Capt Jarmon replied that be"bad
in charge her Majealv’a mail for Matamoras, he
was commissioned in the royal naval aemce.and
that Ilia papers were open lo inspection, but that
they, nor he should leave'the vessel, except by
force.
In about am hour the Petetboff was boarded by
two armed boats from the Vanderbilt. Captain
Jarmon, his mate and'all the passengers were
oideieddown to the cabin, and guarded by ah
armed sentry.
At Sf P. M, an officer from a boat just Ar
rived from the Vanderbilt, which had commu
nicated with St. Thomas, wont down to tho
cabin and demanded Capt. Jurmon’s papers
He refused, to give them un to any one exoept
the Britiair Consul, or hia order. 'The officer,
who waa Afterwards aaoortained to bo Lieut.
Lewis, of the U. S. Navy, took possession of
the Peterhoff in the name of the United State*,
and . another, offioer came down and reoeived
all arms belonging to crew and passengers.
About 11 P. M, Capt.. Jarmon requested
that the ma1l3 should ba delivered to her Ma
jesty’s Consul at St. Thomas, so that they
might not be delayed, hut Capt. Baldwin, of
the U. S. Navy, said that he did not feel Au
thorised to take any part of the freight out of
the ship.
Next morning, Fab. 26th. the Peterhoff
made sail for Key West, in charge of the prize
crew, and when she reached Moca Ialafad, the
U- S. steamer Alabama spoke her, the British
ensign still being hoisted oh the Peterhoff.
This vossul was loaded with goods not
Contraband of war, and her papers had been
examined and passed in London, Plymouth
and F&lmonth; but she was fired at and over
hauled in Danish waters by the V. S. steamer
Alabama, by which vessel her papers were
passed.
Oa leaving St. Thomas, she had the oertifl-
£ e of the acting Consul, Mr. Ball, and never-
ieas was overhauled just outside the port
bjy the 0. S. steamer Van lerbilt.
It was understood that the Peierhoff was
taken possession of nnder the imperative or
der of Admiral Wilkes. Tims^ by the arbi
trary oondnot of this individual, a British
ship proceeding Dorn a British port to a neu
tral, with a proper cargo, has been seized and
her crew removed by superior force, the offi
cers and seven passengers deprived of their
litjerty and guarded by armed men.”

Death of MStosewrU" Jackion. |
Editors Confederacy: . .
It L> right that the heart of the nation
should bo moved by the death of one of her
noblest sons. It is well, and good for us all,
that when we meet one another in the street
and ask “what’s (ho news,” that the reply
“Stonewall Jackson is dead,” should bring a
tear to the eye, a saddened tone to tho voice,
and sinking of the heart for a moment. 1
say it is well, because it shows how truly the
people of the South appreciate real excel
lence, and how readily they acknowledge the
worth of the naan who has practically shoRn
himself willing to do his part in the work be
fore us.
I will not attempt an eulogy of the htro t-
Abier pens than mine will do him justice. .Ii
truth he needs no eulogy. . It is already writ
ten in bloody characters on our battle flag- LI
simply deore to speak a word of encouraf
menl to those of our people who are prone
toko every mishap As an indication of coming
evil, at least, if not of the speedy downfall oi
all our hu|fka; aud l am sorry that thcro arc
so many such people.
First, I would say that we’ have many Gen
erals left among us yet, quite iqaal to any the
Yankees have, and i’nlly able to meet the cn
set of whoever may be the uafortunate that
will take the place of “fighting Joe” when
he “ goes up,” as he certainly will, after tho
late engagement near Fredericksburg. Let all
our dejpondents remember that Rob tar E.
Lss is not dead, neither does he sleep; bat
with an i-nbruken front still keeps a “atone
wail” beiwi-e i onr capital and our foes. Let
them remember that the gallant Longatrcet—
(Gen. Lee’s “ tight arm,”) is still a stumbling
block_ia Hooker’s path, and that Anderson
and Hill, MoLawa and Barksdale, and a host
of stout-heart <i Southrons are yet able to do
duty; mat “J E. B.” Stuart, (blesB hia
bright cheery face. ) has not yet forgotten iiow
to dance an old fashioned reel wi'h a pretty:
girl at 10 o’clock at night, cor to grab a Yan
kee thieving tqu&d immediately thereafter—.

Then, again, we have the lead are cf our
Western Army -Joe Johnston and Bragg, and:

Forrest, tosa/nothing of il fe prtux chevalier"
Jao. Morgan, and beyoud the Mississippi wo
have Price-had Kirby Smith; and above all,
we have the blessing of Almighty God on as
■ljfhtcoua a dausb as the sun ever ebons upon.
So let nono despair. Reverees may come,
doubtless they Will; the Yankee nation is
cajling forth all its strength, hut after all.

From Mexico.
New York, April 27.—The Herald says
From Mexico we are in receipt ot official
acoounta up to the 31st of Marob, inclusive,
wh oh throw quite a 'different aspect on the
state of affairs there. From theBe .it wonld
appear that, instead of the Mexicans having
suffered a defeat, os published through French
aonroea, they have invariably repulsed thoir
{assailants before Paebio; that the oily still
baffles the French military skill and valor.—
Not being in rooelpt of anything .positive
through French ohannols einoe the 18th of
April, leads to the supposition that tho Mexi
cans havo as yet been successful in their de
fense of Puebla, and that the Frenoh are as
far from its capture as when they first invent
ed it.
Tho New Orleans Era of the 19th says:
We are indebted to Mr. Einney, United
States Consul ot Monterey, for the following:

'••Hermes” on the Lata Battle.
Hermes writing from Richmond the 7th inst,
“S* : , a : .! ; Y ’ .*
“It w&3 & victory, bnt net a crushing de
feat.” So said a staff officer, just from Guin
ea’s, in my hearing yesterday. This he ao-
oonnted for by the diep.-trity of forces and the
nature of the oountry. Tho Wilderness is
well named—tha land being thickly covered
with scrubby trees and tangled vines, making
evolutions extremely difficult.. Moreover, the
enemy was fortified with earth works-and
abattis in both of the positions, from which he
was driven. Hen e our heavy loss.
I a the first day’s batUc the enemy’s infan
try fought badly. Hays, the captured Yan-
Brigadier, explained why Hooker’s left rested
ou tne Rapidan, and when the attack began
he moved hia forces near the riror, supposing
Let’s object to be against that point, with the
view of catting id his retreat His beat troops
were there, while the nine months’ men, whose
-term expires to day, were on the extrema
right. These, w hen attacked in rear by Jack-
son, fan at once, intending not to be killed
two days befors-their time was up. This is
Hays’ explanation, which Joes not account for
the reported stampede . of Sedgwick’s men on
*
Hooker was not routed. Ho retreated in
disorder over the Rapidan to the Rappahan
nock, and partly across that, but was enabled,
by 8edgwick’s advance in onr rear, to stay his
flight.
Interesting Items from the hate Battle
The R)ch'o.on i Examiner of the 9th says:

Tha number of cannon captured by onr armyj
ia uof yet kuoWn, but is said to be over fifty.
It. isidoublful.whether the pieces taken from

is most probable the enemy hurried them to

The Y-tnheo prisoners admit that they were
awfully b, aten, but nay that U wakoTring to
the fact, which they nover oeose to proclaim,
that - they have no generals. They believe
their troops are as good as ours, but that we

CCLLORSVILLE
From a surgeon who left Fredericksburg on
Thursday, we learn that the surgeons in Gener
al Lee’s army made the following approxi
mate estimate of our loss in the recent bat
ties:
height*, aad were twice repulsed by
Walton’s Artillery ani the brave Miiaissjp
plans, they bethought them of sending a flag
of trace, nnder pretence of asking leave to
collect' thsir dead—made use of the timo th
gained to make a hew disposition of thsir
force, which they oculd not otherwise have
done; then rapid-y withdrew their treaoher-
009 white flag, and—the hill was flanked and
carried. To be ante, it was stormed again
and recaptured next morning by three bri-
gudea of Eorley’a division; but the only tem
porary success of the eucuiy in all this long
struggle W03 gained by a base triok, unwor-
Ihy of soldiers of any nation 9 ; but to tftel
smart Yankee thoroughly oong'enial. Oh,
for a chivalrous foe worthy of Coafodsrate
[steel!
OTHER HATTERS.
A correspondent of the Enqui'sr waiting from]
Frederickburg the 8:h says:
Yesterday there was a flag of truce, the ob
ject ui it being to call Hooker’s attention to his
[wounded, somo fifteen hundred of which now
I in ? ur lines, ai compacied by a request
Hooker will take them and take care of
them. A response to the flsg ia promised ibis
morning, when we shall doobih-ssget some par*
ticulars of tile Yankee loss. They said ) ester-
day that they had no papers. s
Our loss in killed, wounded and missing, wil
almost certainly reach 8,000. A goad part ol
these, however, afe wounded but slightly, am
wUjMou ba fit fhrtowy. ' Ad’ Mahp’Ea a lhousl

This estimate is liberal, and it is believed
that onr actual loss will fbU below rather than
exceed that sum.
. The enemy’s loss is more a subject of con
jecture, but from the number of dead, that en
cumber the ground for miles abeat Chancel-
lorsville and behind Fredericksburg, and the
prisoners now on .their way to Richmond, it is
believe! that it must ha between twenty and
twenty-five thousand. *
What will Become of the Army of the
F|otojiac.?—-The. Rappahannock has been
passed, probably, for the last time, by the
grand army of the Potomac. It ie scarcely
g issible that the saooessor of General Judas
ooker will again attempt to oarry it on to
Richmond by the mail route. Where the w>
my of the' Potomac will next turn its di mal
steps, and where it will next be beaten, is yet
unknown. It is certain, however, that it must
move somewhere.
The Grand Army of the Potomac has never
achieved a success. It has been periodically
defeated r or two years, and cannot, without
auch lying as yould hurt the conscienco of a
prostitute, claim a single victory. The an
nals of history may be searched in vain for
another military organization which has been
paid more, supplied more, recruited mire, de
serted more, moved on more, been more whip
ped, or which has rim away such a monstrous
number of times. On all of these points it
may proudly c'aim a pre-eminence over the
most, famous failures of recorded memory.—

YANKEE TBEACHERY—THE Wa Y THEY CATTY RED
MlRYVS HAIGHIS.
The Enquirer, of (in 9th, says: '
Hive our people at last begun to find out the
Yankee ehaiccter and designs I • Shall wc ever
fully understand that mean and foul genera
tion f
Nothing is to be looked for at the hands of the
enemy we iiave to deal with, except the vilest
treachery, the blackest lying, the direst extrem
ities of murderous (erocity. There is no “peace
party” at the North at ail; that grumbling and
mouthing of “peace democrat*” is, in part,
treacherous; at any rate it ia wholly powerless
and , is permitted to expend itself in idle talk
purposely to deceive ns. The public eclat, which
woe allowed to surround the arrival of certain
regiments in New York to be mustered out of
service, was another ieiat, intended to make us
belieye that Hodker'6 army‘was moling away.
The yery assurances that they have been shout
ed actors the Rappabaunpck, by their pickets to
ours—that their men wets going home and
would not fight—were calculated falsehoods, tor
the common Yankee is a common rogue, and
they take Confederates for innocent fools.
Eren after the firet crossing of the river
tho other day opposite- Pratt’s, when tho ene
my’s pickets were formed within speaking
distance of oars, and the battle was actually
begun, the rascals repeated those encouraging
assuranoes, aad called out, “Don’t firo cn us;
ice are not going Are; we are going home in a
day or two I” In ehort; the whole conduct of
those wretches in peace, as well as their tao-
tias in war, is of a piece with these foul uses
which they constantly make of the flag of

jesty Gov, Andrew, numbering, ail told, for
ty-eight black souls. In his hands,. whioh
were encased in a pair of buff gauntlets reach
ing two thirds of the way to his shoulders, he
swung right and left a dirty looking broom
stick. The legion was formed two abreast, in
tho middle of the alley, lt was headed by
the boo y officer, immediately behind whom

to keep wretched time. A ahadanrith a tin
horn was upon his left, while the cheek of a
grinning gorilla waa laid lovingly upon, a vi

About the middUi of the colutr-n, and tome
four feet fr-.m it, marched, one upon eAch aide,
the first and second lieutenants, attired some
what after-the style ot the captain, and bearing
themselves about the same. They stemed
