PROWESS OF HOOKER’S ARMY.
The reader who has run through as many
scores of reports of the late battles on the
Rappahannock, as we have, is bound to con-
* cludo that Hookor's army showed less spirit
and prowess Ulan the Federuls have heretofore
exhibited at any important engagement in tho
war. • There was little heartiness or persistence
in their fighting. They were driven from
strong positions with ease by far inferior num
bers, and surprise is frequently expressed by
'the army correspondents at the facility with
which they were routed ami the slight occa
sions which proved sufficient to infuse an ap
parent .panic. Tho stampedes described by
the Herald and tho World equal, if they do
not exceed, that at the first battle of Manassas.
That they were not as protracted and extern
«vo was due only to -the proximity of a place
ofreluge under Hooker’s trans-Rappahannock
batteries. '
It is not impossible that this state of facts is
due in part to Hooker’s nico and ecconotnical
arrangement by .which the men whose terms
of service was just .expiring, were placed in
the front and in the most exposed positions.—
Aware of the motives which prompted this in-
- vidioos distinction, these troop3 might have
been in all the worso humor for a fight, and
as thoroughly bent on saving themselves ss
Hooker was in-exposing two. It will be seen
that a N. Y. Regiment whoso term of service
lacked only one day of being out,- is reported
to have mutinied on tho North bank of the
river in their rout© the field and shot all of
their own officers but ono. If this js true, we
may fairly suSpect that the. same feeling was
Bhared more or less by all the other expiring
regiments, and a discontented and demoralized
vanguard might very easily disconcert the less
experienced troopp behind them. . ' *
- But if. we.look for more permanent causes
wo may doubtless find them in the fact of the
constant change in commanders of the North
ern army of the Potomac— tho steady succes
slon of defeats it has encountered—tho lack of
"confidence in its leaders, and probably also in
the material of .the army itself which is re
ported to bo made up in such great part of
foreigners, that it is rare to hear the English
spoken -without brogue.^ "Wo think there is
good ground for encouragement in the condi
tion of 4hl? Grand JtJnion - Army. JVe wish
‘the- Yinkee armies df the "West‘were in as
"skaky a state.

VALLAND1GHAM.
The Reported Verdict in the Case of Vallaniligam
[From the Washington Chronicle, May X2.J
We understand that the members of the court-
martial, which has been trying C.L. Vallandigbam,
at Cincinnati, Ohio, have agreed on a verdict, and
submitted itto Gen, Burnside,to be approved or dis
approved by him.' The majority of the court, we
learh, hpve sentenced Mr. Vallandigham to the
Dry Tortugas for two years. Tho minority, it is
said, were in favor of sending him South, with the
injunction not to return until the war was over.
[The “Dry Tortugas” is a largo fortification.now
in course of construction by the Government c n
Tortugas Islands, off the coast of Florida, near
Key West, and aHpersons sentenced are forced .o
labor on thb worlA, without any discrimination
to^their formerfrank or station. A number of sol
diers are now under sentence of one and two year >,
for various MApf insubordination,]
In the “sit^HRi” article the Herald thus notic s
this matter
With regard to the case of the Hon. C. L. Vallan
digham, recently arrested on a charge of using
•treasonable language at a public meetingjat which
two military officers, disguised as oivilians, report
ed his speech, and testified against him, a repprt
was circulated and published in a Washington pi
per that the decision of tho court condemned him
to two years’ imprisonment and hard labor
at the Dry Tortugas off the coast of Florida.-
Now, as the proceediugs of a court martial arec-i-
cessarily secret, unless promulgated by tho coi i-
manding genera] who orders the trial, and as ; 11
the members of the court urn solemnly sworn Dot
toreveal any portion of what transpires, and inas
much as general Burnsidehas neither approved nor
disapproved of the finding of the court up to this
time, it is difficult to imagine how the vote of the
majority or the minority of tho court as stated,
could be known. It is fair, therefore, to conclude
the story is premature, to say the least of it.

Little that is satisfactory has been received from
Gen. Grant. He met the rebels under Gen. Bowwn,
at Ciinton, Mi=a., and after a well fought engage
ment, defeated and fo.ced them back upon Jack-
son, but uiscovering-that heavy columns ol trod pa

he judiciously retreated toward the river. Joseph
E. Johnston is eipected by the rebels to reach

lulls, their hopes lor a Southern Confederacy are
dashed forever.

The New Fla*.—The Savannah News says:
Speaking of the 'new flag, wo omitted to
mention that it has been displayed by Captain
Cercopuly on the steamer Beauregard for sev
eral days. If our correspondent R. will take
a look at the well proportioned flag now. flying
from the flag staff of that steamer, wo’ think
he will at once ground all objections to the
new ensign, which is tasteful as' it is unique,
and significant os it is simple. As tho symbol
of the white man’s cause, long may it float in
triumph over a virtuous, free and chivalric
people.
In this, connection, we may mention that
Capt. Cercopaly has been presented Gen.
Beauregard with a hanasorue Union Jack or
battle flag, we presume in acknowledgment ot
the compliment paid the latter by Capt. C. in
naming his steamer tho Beauregard. This
beautiiul union flics at the stern of the Beaure
gard, and will be borne as proudly and bravely
by Capt, Cercopuly on his now steamer as was
the first Confederate flag borno by him on the
little.Ida in ‘defiance of tho phot and shells of
the Yankees."

Chaplain of tho Sixty-third North Carolina,

Down in these swamp lands Of Eastern North

enterprising workman would cut these up by

and by nn easily contrived knife give them a
proper shape, he could ihuko.a small fortune,
as well as confer a htpefit'on the public, by

General Robert Anderson, of Sumter notoriety,
was in Washington. A gentlcu in, saluting
him, at W.llard’si asked if the report wa.- true
