T tH- iS J ° Brandon, May lV— Two gentlemen rodo to Jackson to-day, and traversed the city. Tke enemy, supposed to be about 40,000 strong, evacuated tke c:ty about two o’clock, and retreated towards Vicksburg-. Firing was heard in that ’direction, £nd Pemberton is supposed to . Pc in their teat*. Before leaving, they burned (lie Onlc.Watc House and de pots, the Penitentiary, Green’s and Phil lips’ factories, Stevens’ foundry, Lenoir's hat factory, a block of buildings on State street,' including the Medical Purveyor’s and other Government offices, both of the “bridges over Pearl river, and destroyed several miles of the railroad track. It i? reported in Mobile that some of this bnrnifig was done before we retired— that the Confederate House was burned by the proprietor. Richmond, May 18.—The Cincinnati Enquirer of the 15th, says it is reported in Washington that the President has changed the sentenco of Vailttu dighani to sending him South. Apprehensions are felt in Washington of a rebel raid of cavalry on the national Capital. The planks on the Chain Bridge has been removed, and a battery stationed at tbo Aqueduct Bridge. A dispatch, dated Washington, 14th, asserts that there is no indication of a movement of the Fede ral army to the south side of the Rappahannock. The Fredericksburg correspondent of the En quirer says, on alleged authority of a Yankee General, that the enemy’s loss iu killed, wounded, prisoners, and deserters, is forty thousand. Also t hat Hooker was much injured at Chancellorsville, and had not left headquarters since the light. Modii.e, May 19.—The Register and Advertiser has a special dispatch from their reporter at Jack sou, dated 18th, which states that the Federals Rout a flag of truce, wiili thoir principal surgeon, to care for the wounded. They state that in Sat urday’s [fight tlicir loss was 6,000, amt that llpty took 16 gnus. Our troops fell back across the Big Black liver, destroying the bridge. They advanced 8 miles north, and this morning found Johnson iu lino of battle. No artillery wua lost. 12,000 fought two army corps, of 24,000, and'sustained themselves and fell back at night. Rumors— good and bad — plenty. Mobile, May PJ.—The special Reporter of the Advertiser & Register at Jackson, has particulars of Saturday’s fight from an Adjutant of tlie 15th Mississippi, from Canton last night. The battle was fought at Baker’s Creek, about ‘2O miles west •of Jackson. Wc whipped the enemy badly until he was rein forced from Jackson. I’emherton then fell back to Rig Black Bridge. Pemberton estimates our loss at 8.000; theirs three times as many. Gen. Loriug, on tho left, was cut oil. He cut Ms way through to Crystal Springs, 25 miles south of Jackson. 11 in loss is unknown. Gon. Tilghman was killed. There rc 100 refugees at Pascagoula. They arc now coming daily. Banks has extended ihe time of leaving to the 25th. TT’llahoma, May 19.—-All quiet in front. Not a word of interest. Louisville and Nashville papers, of tbo 16th, have been received. They slate that largo num bers are leaving Memphis to reinforce Grant. Louisville papers, of the 15th, have accounts of the departure of Rebel sympathizers. The sepa ration of fathoi*, mothers and daughters, with weeping arid sobbing, is represented ft3 touching. Men with families were allowed to take two hun dred dollars; the balance of tlie property to bo taken by the Government. Memphis dates to tho 15th state that General Thomas has formed 10 full contraband regiments, and expects many more. A serious disagreement has occurred between llallcck and Ilookcr. Tho former countermanded Hooker’s orders for anew movement. There, is no indication of an immediate movement iu thai district. Richmond, May 18.—The New York Tribune condemns Hooker as a failure. It is equally severe against Stonewan; says he accomplished little or nothing. The Herald condemns the arrest of Vallandig ham, and his trial by Court Martial. The Democrats of Albany have called a meeting to express -their indignation at tho arrest of Val laudigham, and to protest against Burnside’s dis regard of the notification of the Circuit Court of Ohio in regard to the application for a writ of habeas corpus which had been made. Tho steamship Cherokee has been captured off Charleston by the blockaders. The home forces arc to be organized in Hie North to repress disloyal demonstrations. Gold is dull at 159. The Vallandigliam A Halt*. We find in the World, copied from the Cincin nati Commercial, a report of tlie trial of Mr. Val iandigham before the court martial. At the close of the examination, Mr. V. submitted the follow ing protest: Arrested without process of law, without war rant from any judicial officer, and now in military custody, 1 have boen served with a chargo and specifications as from a court martial or military commission. lam not either in the land nor the naval service of the United States, and therefore am not tryable for any cause by such court, hut am subject, by the express terms of the Constitu tion, to arrest.only by due process of law, or war rant issued by some officer of a court of competent jurisdiction lor trial of citizens. lam subject to iudictmertt and trial on presentment of a grand jury, and am entitled to a speedy trial, to be con fronted with witnesses and to compulsory process for witnesses in my behalf and am entitled to counsel. All those l demand as my right as a citi zen ‘of ‘the United States, under tho Constitution of the United States. But the alleged offence it self is not known to tho Constitution, nor to tho law thereof. It is words spokeu to tho people of Ohio in an open public political mooting, lawfully and peacefully assembled, under the Constitution, and after due notice. It is the words of a cit izen, of the public policy, of thepublic servants of the ptoide, by which it was alleged that the welfare of the country whs not promoted. It was an appeal to the people to change that policy, not by force but by the elec tions and the ballot-box. It is not pretended that f counseled disobedience to tho Constitution, or resistance to law or lawful authority. 1 have nev er done tli is. 1 have nothing further to submit. [Signed] C. L. Vallan mum m. The judge advocate simply remarked that the accused had the privilege of counsel and of wit nesses, It did not become hitu to enter into any* discussion as to the jurisdiction of tho court. That ’ the case had been referred to it was sufficient. The World, iu aa editorial on tlie subject, says: The proceedings against. Mr. Vallandighani will give advantage to peace lneu of whom tie is tho : recognized leader. Multitudes who disapprove of iue peace movement, prize free discission will defiantly resist this higli-bauih>d infringe ment of the freedom of speech, and thus be brought into the habit ot acting witli tho triouds of Mr. Vallandighani. A man who, as the premature alto indiscreet advocate of peace, was looked upon with dislike by a majority of the Northern people is lifted into a high place in their estimation when t';o administration makes him a martyr ofliberty by stabbing at it through his body. Jt it proceeds to extremities with him it will not excite terror but vengeance.

The General was informed of the fact, aud was offered stimulants lo pro long his existence. These he refused to take, nitd a short time after his mind commenced to wander. Among Ids last words was a reference to his men., He sard, spoaking of his Commissary: “Tell Maj. Hawkes to send forward provisions to the men.” About 1 o'clock liis wife entered the room, and took the last farewell which lie bid on this earth, and at 15 minutes past 3 o’clock his spirit ascended to its Giver. #33““ We learn that as the train was coming from Montgomery on Sunday last, having on board some 40 or 50 Yankee prisoners captured at Raymond, Miss., two of them escaped at West Point amid the confusion attending the change of cars. One is a Captain the other a Lieu tenant. Every means has been resorted to for their, recapture. Os the prisoners just received here, five are deserters from the Federal army, and two deserters from the Confederate army, captured iu arms against their own Government. These latter are se curely ironed. —Atlanta Ldtlliijmecr. jggT 1 Who is this “Maj. Gcu. Evans” captured by the Yankees at Chancellors ville. as reported by the Baltimore Ameri can V It is needless to assure any who know the facts of the case, that Briga dier General Evans (of Leesburg note) was not in Virginia, much less in that fight. Since Tier- t*. Tract*. We heard a good etory yesterday re lated by a German who was- confined in one af tks. hospitals at Nashville, v r }c~ proves conclusively that sick so-ui-.s appreciate food for the stomach more than food for the mind. A rebel lady visited the hospital one morning with a negro servant, who car , rie'd a large basket on his arm, covered with a white liucu cloth. Ijhc approach cd our German Iricnd and accosted him thus: , . o you a good Luton man . “I ish dat,” was the laconic reply oT the German, at the same time casting a hopeful glance at the aforesaid basket. “That is all I wanted to know,” replied the lady, and, beckoning the negro to follow, she passed to the opposite side of the room, where a rebel soldier lay, and asked him the same question, to which he very promptly replied : “Not by a d—d sight.” The lady thereupon un covered the basket and laid out a bottle of wine, mince-pies, pound cake, and other dcrlioaeies, which were greedily de voured in the presence of the Union sol diers, who felt somewhat indignant. On the following morning, however, another lady made her appearance with a large covered basket, and she also ac costed our German friend, and desired to know if he was a Union man. “I ish, by got; I no care what you got; I bese Union.” The lady then set her basket on the table, and our German friend thought that the truth availed in this case, if it did fail in (he other. Eut imagine ihe length of the poor fellow's face when the lady uncovered Ihebaskct and presented him with about a bushel of tracts. He shook his head dolefully and said: “1 no read English, and, pesidc, dat rebel on te nonter side of te house need dem so more as me.” The lady distributed them and left. Not long afterwards alongcame anoth er richly-dressed lady, who propounded the same question again to our German friend, lie stood gazing at the basket, apparently at a loss fop a reply. At length he answered her, in Yankee style, as follows: “l>y got, you no git me dis time ; vot you got mit dc basket ?” The lady required an unequivocal an swer to her question, and was about to move on when our German friend shout ed out: “If you got tracts, I bees Union ; but if you got mince-pie mit pound cake unf vine, I bees secesh lak te tibcl.” Kick soldiers havo little desire to read tracts when they are famished for the want of those lit tie delicacies so condu cive to the recovery of hospital patients. When our ladies visit hospitals with tracts we would suggest the importance of accompanying them with a basket of provisions, and they will be better ap pi eeiated. The Polish Hevo lution. — The strug gle in Poland still continues. Nothing disheartened by the sudden collapse of the self-constituted dictator, who seems to have been anything but the man for the emergency, the revolutionary com mittee again assumed the direction, and have not yet faltered in their duly. Langiewiez, although bold enough to seize the leadership, was not capable of holding il, and the first reverse drove him into exile, whither he was accele rated by tlie efforts of personal enemies, whom he seems to have feared more than the Russians. If we may judge of his caliber by liis associations, no very high regard will result. Generals who indulge in female aid-de-camps must have a soft spot in (heir composition. The insurrection is spreading, we are informed, but of details there is a scarc ity. That the Russians have gained no important advantage is quite certain, while (tie revolutionists have had the advantage of time to recruit their ranks,’ and discipline to organize their strength. It is announced that the Russian Empe ror has offered amnesty and increased privileges, but the offer has been reject ed. It is also stated that France, Aus tria and Great Britain have combined in an effort to close the war anil gain a sep arate national existence for the Poles, but there are no indications of a move ment iu that direction. Meantime, the sturdy revolutionists wield their scythes and pruning-knives, and belch forth the thunders of war from cannon made of oak ; and the heart of the civilized world goes out'to them in the struggle which they fiercely uphold, almost, against hope. Louis Napoleon was once King of Po land in everything except the actual crowning. But that order reigned in Warsaw a day too soon, he would have donned tbo purple which he coveted in those days from any charitable hand, aud from a plotter emerged into a full Hedged revolutionist. It would seem that he should have a kindred feeling with his old fellow-conspirators, and lend (hem aid in their hour of need. England is urged to sympathy by her natural repugnance to Russian domina tion, and Austria has a stake in the preservation of the balance of power. With such weighty influence in her fav or, it will be strange if Poland does not prosper in her Struggle.-— Chicago Times. — -•-- From tho New York Freeman’s Journal.

May StH, 1863. | seen as yet, no correct account af H’e recent sevpii days’ fighting near Fredericksburg; T shall endeavor to re cite the princibhi movements of our own and the Yankee army, during those eventful days. I shall nut pretend to give; detail, the movements or engage ment;; of alt (lie different brigades of our gallant army, but such leading facts as may enable the public to form some thing like a correct idea of our hard week’s work. During ihe night of Tuesday, the2Bth nit., a considerable number of Yankees (about 250) crossed the river in boats iu front of General Early’s” position, and just below the point where Deep linn empties into the river Owing to the darkness of the night (it being very fog gy) they were enabled to cross without being discovered, and rushing upon our pickets at that point, captured nearly all of them. A large force being in readi ness on the other side with boats and bridges, in a very few minutes the Yan kees succeeded in laying down two pon toons, and by the time the fog lifted in the morning sufficiently for us to discern their movements, they had effected the crossing of over twelve thousand men, with several pieces of artillery and con tinued to pour upon us their heavy column until they crossed about twenty thousand of all arms. As soon as their movement was discovered (and consider able blame lias attached to our force on picket at that point, whether justly or not l cannot say,) General Early made active and vigorous preparations to give the Vandals a reception. Gen. Lee or dered up our artillery', vfliich had been for some time in the rear, about Chester field Station and Hanover Junction, for the purpose of recruiting their broken down and starved horses, and all the troops of the different corps were prompt ly placed under arms, and ready’ to move to such points as the movements of the enemy should require. About 7J o'clock, the fog having lifted a little, Early fell upon the enemy with violence and effect, effectually preventing his column from deploying, formed from the valley. The firing continued with increased fury uu t til ten or eleven o’clock, when the Yan kees apparently became satisfied that any further advance, without a much larger force, was not at all practicable, and gradually fell back towards and near the river. In the engagement our troops behaved handsomely, repelling a force nearly double their own and iuflicting serious injury upon Iho enemy. Our own loss was not considerable, though some of Early’s brigades suffered severely. As soon as the enemy’s movements op posite Early were ascertained, Wright’s brigade of Georgians were ordered up, from Massaponax Church, seven miles distant, to the support, of Early’s left. The brigade moved promptly, and in an hour and a half’ from the receipt of their order were in line, immediately to the left of Hamilton’s Crossing, their right resting upon Early’s left. They were not engaged, a* Early had succeeded in thrashing the Yankees, before they got into position. At one o’clock all was quiet along Early’s front,Except the occasional firing of skirmishers, the enemy being con stantly reinforced by the addition of a heavy column, which we saw crossing on both their pontoons. Our artillery not having come tip, it was not deemed prudent to push them further, and con sequently their crossing was unmolested. About noon information was received that the Yankees, in considerable force, had crossed tlio Rappahannock at Kel ley’s and Ellis’ Fords, and were pressing forward towards Germana and Ely’s Ford, on the llapidan. Two brigades of Anderson’s division—Posey’s and Ma hone’s, numbering about 3,000 men, and one battery of four guns—were, and had been for several weeks, stationed in the neighborhood of Ely’s Ford and United States Ford, on the Rappahannock, guarding the approaches to Fredericks burg in that direction. It was apparent that this small force would be entirely inadequate to arrest the approach of Hooker’s heavy column, and Wright’s brigade was ordered up to their support. At daylight on Thursday morning the head of Wright’s brigade reached Clian cellorsville, at which point Posey and Mahone liad concentrated their* forces with a view of making a stand. Major Gen. Anderson having also arrived in the latter part of the night, and having obtained further information of the number of the Yankee forces, upon con sultation with, bis brigade commander, determined to fall back from Chancellors ville in the direction of Fredericksburg, live miles, to a point Where the Old Mine road, leading from the United States Ford, crosses the Orange and Fredericks burg turnpike and plank road. The ad vance of the Yankee army was reported within a few miles, and in great force. The retrogade movement was commenced at once, Wright’s brigade in advance on the plank road, followed by Posey and Mahone with the artillery moving down the turnpike. It may be proper to state here that the plank road and turnpike run parallel—the latter nearest (he river, and not more than one half to three quarters of a mile to Chancellorsvillo to the Old Mine road, crossing where they unite, and continue to Fredericksburg, eight miles, one road. Just as Mahono’s brigade commenced .the movement, a company of one of his regiments, which was on picket at the point where the Ely’s Ford and United States Ford roads fork, three quarters of a mile east of Chancellorsville, were rushed upon in the gray twilight of a misty morning by a body of cavalry and the whole of them captured. There was no fighting at this point on Thursday. Gen. Posey also lost a few men, who were captured du ring Wednesday night, while at work building a bridge across the llapidan at Germana. General Andersen, with his three brigades, reached the Old Mine road crossing about 8 o’clock a. m., and then calmly and siletyly awaited the approach of “the best army on the planet,” as sured that the three small brigades then with him, numbering less than 5,000 men, would give a good account of them selves to their friends and their country, should the Yankees have the temerity to rush upon ‘ them in the strong position they then occupied. Hooker advanced slowly and cautiously, throwing forward a strong force of cavalry, with several batteries of artillery, strongly supported by infantry, while his main body was collected in and around Chancellorsville. To fully understand the subsequent movement, of our own army and that of Hooker, it may be necessary to explain the position of Chancellorsville and its approaches. Chancellorsville is not a town, unless a single large two-story brick residence, formerly kept as a tavern, be such. This building is situated upon the Orange and Fredericksburg road, and about four miles south-west of the llapidan river, and just where the main road from Ely’s Ford falls into the plank road. At this t point, also, the turnpike diverges from the plank road, and after passing for live miles over a succession of hills, falls again into the plank road at the cross of the Old Mine road, ten miles above Fred ericksburg, five miles north-east J'rom Chancellorsville ; on the Rappahannock miles below the continence with the Rapidan, is the United States Ford; from this ford, in a Southernly direction, runs ihe old Mipe Road, which crosses at a distance of five miles from the river the plank road at the point already des cribed, ten miles above Fredericksburg, and five miles below Chancellorsville. One and a half miles aboVe Chancellors ville, the road from Germane falls into the plank road at or near Wilderness Church. It was by (hi3 latter road, and by the road, from Ely’s Ford, that Hooker made his advance upon Chancelloisville. Let us now return to the operations of our ariisy. ! Hiring tli6 (!*• y ('i'hursdtty'* all Wriu comparatively quiet in front oi Early, and it was even thought that a portion of the enemy’s force had recross ed the river, About the middle of the afternoon, the enemy’s advance line of skirmishers had advanced down the turn pike, until having fallen upon Mahoue’s skirmishers, a brisk firing began, which continued during the afternoon with lit tle effect on either side, the enemy being very reluctant to engage us in ora strong position, and our own force being too weak to make an aggressive movement. During the night, of Thu.-s.lay, Gen. Lee ordered Jackson, with A. I*. Hill’s and Diodes’ (formerly D. 11. 11 n ‘ divi sions, to the support of Gcu. Ai. ierson, where they arrived about eight o’clock on Friday morning. This left Early alone with his division on oui right, and Mc- Laws’ division with Wilcox’s brigade of Anderson’s division, in front of Freder iolcsburg. As soon as General Jackson reached, our position, he ordered an ad vance upon the enemy—Wright’s brigade in advance upon the plank road, sup ported by I’osey—Mahone in advance upon ihe turnpike, supported by Perry— Hill’s and Rhodes’ divisions being held as reserves to be thrown upon any point where the development of the day might, demand. Soon after commencing the movement, our advanced line of skir mishers became engaged with the enemy, and hotly pursuing, drove them back until within two miles of Chancellors ville, where we came upon the main body, strongly posted in an admirable position along a line of heavy timber, in rear of a large clearing, and supported by a number of cannon, which were planted by and in the rear of a dwelling and barn on the plank road. Here the action became general along our whole front, extending from a few hundred yards to the left and south of the plank road, across that road to the turnpike, and to the north or right side of the latter road for nearly half a mile. The troops mainly engaged at this point were Wright’s and Posey’s brigades on the plank road, and Mnhonc’s and Perry’s on the turnpike. After the firing had continued for up wards of an hour, without any decisive results, Gen. Jackson ordered Wright, with his brigade, to tile off t<r the left of the plank road, and passing well round to the right flank and rear of the ene my’s position to fall upon him there while Posey would continue to push him in front. Wright passed to the left un til reaching ihe track of the Orange and Fredericksburg railroad, (near complet ed,) he passed up that road, keeping in. front a strong body of skirmishers, until he reached Wilford’s iron furnace, two miles southwest of Chancellorsville.— Here he met Gen. Stuart, who informed him that the enemy, in considerable force, were posted in the thick woods between Chancellorsville and the fur nace, and about half a mile from the furnace. Wright immediately changed hi3 direction, and, being provided with a guide from Gen. Stuart, advanced iu the direction of Chancellorsville, having now got completely in the rear of tlie force, was disputing Posey’s advance up on the plank road. Wright’s advance soon became engaged with the enemy in the thick woods, and throwing forward his whole force, ho soon Grove the ene my from the woods into the open fields around Chancellor’s house. Here en countering a very superior force of the enemy, he sent back to Gen. Stuart and procured from the latter his horse artil lery, which, coming up, was soon put in position, and opened a terrific fire upon the enemy. Wright now advanced his whole line, and soon drove the enemy flying across the field and up a steep hill, into the woods, on the opposite side. It was at this time the gallant Major Price, of Gen. Stuart’s staff, was killed, and not at Spottsylvania Court House, as has been reported in saveral of the pa pers. He was standing by Stuart’s ar tillery, giving the necessary orders, when ft fragment of shell struck him up on the leg and thigh,horribly mutilating his entire limb. It was now night, and the action ceased. But to return to Po sey and the Yankees on the plank road. .As soon as Wright began his furious at tack upon tlie enemy’s -right flank and rear, the Yankees upon the plank and turnpike roads, in Posey’s andMalione’s front, began to give way, and by night had been pressed back to Chancellors ville, their line of skirmishers and pick ets being advanced down both of the roads some eight hundred or one thou sand yards. After dark Wright was or dered back to the plank road at a point where tlie road from the furnace falls into the former. Mere the main body of our army slept during Friday night. Early Sat unlay morning, Jackson, with A. P. Hill's and X!hades’ divisions, passed up tlie left by tlie way of the iron furnace, and passing on, in clining to the north, struck the plank road some where near Wilderness Church. Anderson’s divi sion, (except Wilcox’s brigade, left at Banks’ ford,) occupied the centre of our line with Wright’s bri gade, on the left of the plank road. Mahone, Po sey and Perfy on the right, where they connected with the left of McLaws’, who had come up in the night, arid was then with his right extending across in the direction of tlie United States ford; and his left, as just stated, connecting with Anderson’s right. This left along interval between Anderson’s left and Jackson’s right, which, tlie enemy perceiving, was enabled to take advantage of, and about fi P. M , threw down a strong column and took posses sion of the iron furnace, thus cutting oft’ our con nection with Jackson, and capturing several am bulances and wagons belonging to Jackson’s train, and, it is said, taking prisoners nearly an entire Carolina regiment As soon as this movement of the enemy was discovered by Gen. Anderson, lie despatched Posey to meet the enemy, and, if pos sible, retake tim position at the furnace. Posey's advance soon engaged tlie enemy, who, appearing iu overwhelming numbers, Gen. P. was obliged to retire. Wright, with throe ofliis regiments, was ordered to Posey’s support, and soon tlie enemy gave way acrossTlie run that llows at tho foot of tlie hill on which the furnace ia situated. Late in tlie evening tlie enemy made an advance down tho plank road, with two brigades, no doubt having discovered that Anderson had withdrawn most of the troops from that point. This advance was met in tlie woods by the 3d Georgia regiment, of Wright’s brigade, which had been advanced all day well to the front as skirmishers. They check ed the Yankee advance, and finally, after two hours’ hard lighting, drove the enemy, two bri gades', back to their line of entrenchments around Ci ini icellorsvi 11 e. About sunset, or a little before, Jackson having got his men (n position upon the enemy’s right flank and rear, opened upon him, aud a to. rifle tight ensued, lasting until after dark. Tlie enemy were driven from every position, and with immense toss, until their right had doubled in on their ccn _ tre at and immediately around Chancoilorsville.— * This was one of the most brilliant engagements of t he whole week’s fighting, and contributed largely to tho complete victory which we gained on Suii dny morning'. Tlie enemy on our l ight (their left) were comparatively quiet during tlie day; but whenever a chance presented, tho gallant McLaws throw iiis force upon them, and drove them into their works. And thus Saturday night closed up on us. Nothing of interest had occurred in front or below Fredericksburg, exgept that tho indica tion showed the elicmy were disposed to abaudou their position in front of Early. At daylight Sunday morning, our army com menced advancing upon the enemy from all points. We were now almost completely around him, but a single point of escape being open to him, that by way of the Ely’s ford and U. States ford roads. Soon the roar of artillery was heard in Jackson’s direction, and Anderson moved forward in front; Mahone on tlie right, with his right resting on the soulh side oMie plank road; then Wright, Posey and Perry; McLaws with his left on the plunk road, ami his right extending well across the turn pike. Tlie enemy had dug rifle pits, cut abattis in front and along his who'o front, while his artille ry, well protected by earthworks, Mas planted on every eminence and swell or rising ground sons to get a direct and enfilading fire upon all points of our advancing lines. On our gallant army moved, their ranks played upon by an incessant fire of shell, grape and canister from the front, the right and the left. On our gallant commander pressed through the woods, over the fields, up the hills, unto the very mouths of tho enemy’s batte ries, and up to the long line of rifle pits. With a terrible shont they sprang forward, aud rushing through the abattie.they gained the batik in front of thpztiS 2 “rhen tbt> confusion nn ,\ -sip.-j ThU was on our extreme left, under ‘JackSon, and that poitiou of our centre, where Wrfgfct, Po sey and Ferry were engaged. ‘iho OBeir.y still held their position on oar right, and that portion of our centre in front of Manor.©. Soon, however, McLaws pressing them vigorously, tliej gave way in liis front, aud the centre outer liiu‘of the ene my’s works were in our possession. 1 shall not at tempt to describe this terrible and gallant charge of our army. I will merely say that 1 have never during the tvholo war seen so strong a position carried so ouichiy aud with so little less. The charge of our turn v <e; lif e a 1’ ■r!b! t -* ; which boro o very thing away with it without 1.. I ing the resistance. The enemy had now concen trated a heavy tire in their inner works, eloso around the house at (.’haneellotsville, and, with their artillery, commenced a furious fire across the open field, and upon our men, who, having gained the north side of their outer iir.e of breastworks, were completely exposed to this murderous fire.— There some confusion in our ranks, consequent upon the difficulty experienced by our nun in picking their way through the fallen timber in front of the enemy’s line of rifle pits, and some time elapsed before the different brigades < “ii he reformed. During this time the army i:.;; a murderous fire upon us, killing and -v, anding >\ great many. Wrights brigade being on our right at tiiis point, was ordered by tlenejal Audi rson t.. luovo forward and dislodge tho enerny from nis strong position around the house. Hut one of liis regiments having os yet forint and, the I Georgia, he ordered it forward, and, supported by l*< se_v, swept across the field and up to the trenches around the house, dust as Wright commenced this last movement, a elomi of smoke was seen to riso from the house, and it then became apparent that the Vandals had fired it {ifeparatbry to leav ing. As Wright Hew across the field the Yankees gave way and lift!, utterly routed, down the lily’s ford road. du.it at this moment Stewart came up on our left, now in command of Jackson's corps, and the whole field was ours. At this point we captured a great many prisoners, Anderson's division alone taking more than 2,500. Wtiglit continued to push the flying Yankees down the Ely’s ford road, until his advance line of skirmishers became en gaged with a heavy body of the enemy, posted in the woods oil both sides of the load, strongly sup ported by artillery. Hero liis skirmishers were forced to fall back; and ftieii pushing two coinpa nics further to the right, he directed them to push through the-woods aud endeavor to get into the enemy ‘s rear. \ cry soon ihese two companies (of the 3d Georgia,) became engaged with a Yankee regiment, and, after the exchange ofa few rounds, succeeded in capturing the entire regiment with their Colonel, Bostick, Lieut. Colonel Morwin, Ma jor and Adjutant, ami about Too men. This was the 27th Connecticut. The skirmishers were n• halted, and (ton. Lee coming upon tho field, ordered our army to form on the plank road above ChaiiceHorsville. extend ing our line in a southeasterly direction down the turnpike lielow Chaiieelloi'sville, with our centre resting about the latter point. Just then we heard that during the morning the enemy had, taking advantage of our very weak force, crossed at Fredericksburg, and driving Farksdalc, with great loss, from the town, had ad vanced upon and taken possession of Marye’s heights, capturing several pieces of the Washing ton Artillery. Gen. McLaws was ordered to uiovo down at once to the support <>t nuriisfiieleand \y il cox; tho latter being pressed back from his posi tion at Bank’s ford, had fallen back as far as Sa lem, five miles above Fredericksburg. .Moving rapidly, McLaws, with liis own division and Ma lione's brigade, of Anderson's division, reached ihe Church late in tlia afternoon, and just in time to save Wilcox, who was being heavily pressed by an overwhelming force. For an hour or more the Yankees pressed Mc- Laws heavily; his men were almost exhausted by the forced march of over ten miles, and the con stant fighting of the entire morning around Chan cellorsville; but, gallant fellows, they bore them selves like veterans, as they are, aud soon the Yan kees gave way, when, springing forward with a shout, they drovo them back with great slaugh ter. Indeed, this hiust have been iho most san guinary fight of the week, judging from the-num ber of Yankees dead and wounded left upon tho field. Our own loss at this point was considera ble, but McLaws continued to press the Hessians until night closed in around him. Meanwhile, Geu. Lee had ordered Stewart, now commanding Jackson’s corps, to pass around above and to the left of Ghancellorsville and endeavor to gain the Ely's ford road, in the enemy’s rear.— This he did after hut a slight resistance from tho enemy. Gen. Anderson, with three brigades— Wright’s, i’osey’S, and l’erry’s—was ordered to pass down the road to the right and below Chan cellors ville, and endeavor to gain the United States ford road in the enemy’s rear. This was not accomplished, owing to the thick woods and heavy force of the enemy. Anderson worked his way down as far as the Old Mine road, one and a half miles below the United States ford, where, about night, lie encountered a heavy foreo of the enemy posted on the heights above Child's house, with a battery of eight guns iu position behind earthworks. Hero lie rested for the night. Early next morning Anderson was ordered down to Sa lem Church to the support of McLaws. The ene my were massing during tho night a heavy force on McLaws’ left, evidently with a view of lorSing or turning his left flank, and making a connection with Hooker’s left ator near United States ford. This could be dune by forcing McLaws’ left, and got!ing possession of the river road, which fell in to tho Old Mine road near Childs’ house. Anderson moved rapidly down to McLaws’ sup port, reaching Salem Church, a distance of fifteen miles, by 12 m. llore, after a brief bait, during which time General Lee came upon the field, An derson was directed to move round in rear and south of Salem Church, and proceeding through the woods to form his light upon Early’s left, then nearly opposite Guest’s house, and a little above Marye’s Heights, which point Early had that morning retaken from the enemy. Gen. Leo having discovered that the enemy had weakened liis left in his efforts to force McLaws’ left, thus, concentrated a strong force upon his weak point, and at the concerted signal, just before sunset, Early and Anderson lushed upon the Yankees’ extreme left. Our men broke through tho woods and over the fields, lilco a perfect hurricane, and the Yankees gave way with hardly a struggle.— By some accident a portion of Hays’ brigade was captured, though the whole affair has been greatly exaggerated. The charge of Hoke’s brigade, Ear ly's division, and Wright’s brigade, Anderson’s di vision, elicited the highest praise from Gen. Lee, who, from an eminence, witnessed the whole fight. Anderson and Early continued to press tho Yan kees until night, when he had driven them entire ly across to the noi tli side of the plank road, while McLnwsliad not only held them in check on our left, but had, with Wilcox’s, Wofford’s aud Ker shaw’s brigades, driven the enemy some distance before him. As dark closed in, we paused for a few minutes for the moon’s rising, when our whole liue again advauced, and drove the enemy before us into the river at Banks’ ford, eight mites above Fredericksburg. We did not permit him to cross without molestation, but peppered him severely with musketry and artillery during tho whole time he was crossing, liis loss was very great, especially iu prisoners, a great number of which we captured. This was Monday evening. Tho enemy being driven from every point around Fredericksburg, Gen. Leo determined to make short, work of Hooker at U. S. ford, there fore, leaving McLaws and Early to watch Frede ricksburg, on Tuesday, at noon, Anderson, with his whole division,Svas ordered to move rapidly back to Cliancellorsvillo. This was all accom plished iu a drenching rain, and at night wo en camped at the latter place, ready for the morning’s work. During the day before, Stewart had been actively engaged capturing a great many of the straggling Yankees and perfecting arrangements for the last final and decisive blow, to be struck oil Wednesday. The rain continued to pour all night Tuesday, aud, on Wednesday morning fell iu such torrents as to prevent our movement before nine o’clock. But, then, lo! the Yankees were gone. Taking advantage of the stormy night, Hooker had withdrawn the shattered remnants of his ar my, and was now safe on the “other side of Jor dan,” ‘(Rappahannock.) We caplured a great ma ny prisoners, who were found lost in the woods, and got possession of a quantity of small arms, ammunition, ate. And thus ended this great week’s work. Is the country satisfied? The force of the enemy must have amounted to at least 130,000 or 150,000 men, ours to less than 50,000. — We have captured some 10,000 prisoners, took 25,000 or 30,000 stand of small arms, and killed aud wounded at least 15,000 or 20,000 of tho ene my. This, we think, a good week’s work. A. Provisions. —The fall in the juice of provisions, which we prophesied some months ago, is being realized, and the humbug of scarcity which we then .de nounced is being exploded, and is going the way of its predecessor panics about arms and powder, &c. &c. The fact is, there is a vitality in our cause which has defied the arms of the national enemies, the frights of panic makers, and the dev ilish cupidity of extortioners. The Con federacy rises grandly above them all, and marches on to its destiny under such a halo of patriotic faith and hero ism as has never bel\>re lighted a young nation to acknowledged in dependence and security. The great imaginary danger is past. We have plenty to eat, and Heaven smiles upon us in the rich promise ot’ abundant harvests, Bread is going down, and meat is going down. The Hour specula tor who holds on to his monopoly of the staff of life for thirty days longer will “go under” beyond the reach of redemp tion, and all the friends of humanity will pronounce upon the justice of the retribution an emphatic “amen.”—Mo bile Register.

The Captain told him he might a- well stop the disturbance, as lie had ibe force to arrest him and would certainly do so. ViillumUghaui then said he was not dressed. The Captain told him lie would have time to dress liimsclt ; but he re doubled his shouts for the police, when an attempt was made to force the front door. The door resisted the efforts of the soldiers, aud Yailaudighaui flour ished a revolver at the window, aud tired two or three shots without effect. A side door was (hen forced, aud the squad, findino*ali the doors in the house fastened, broke open four of them before they reached the apartment occupied by the individual with whom they had busi ness, who was soon taken and escorted to the train, which was in waiting. Some of Vallandigham’s friends, hear ing what was going on, rung the tire bells, with the intention of gathering a crowd to rescue him. Dili few persons appeared, and they gave no trouble. Vallandighani was brought to the city and lodged in the prison of Columbia street, between Sycamore aud Broadway, where no one was permitted to see him without an order front Gen. Burnside. The official charges against Vallan digham set forth that off or about the first of May’, at Mr. Vernon, Ohio, he publicly’ addpoae<l a large meeting of citizens, declaring that the war is an in jurious, cruel and unnecessary war, —a war not being waged for ibe preserva tion of the Union, but for ihe purpose of crushing out liberty, and establishing a despotism,—a war tor the freedom of the blacks and enslaving of the whites, and that if the administration had so wished the war could have been honorably ter minated ; that peace might have been honorably obtained by listening to the proposed mediation of France; that propositions by which the iSoutlierii Stales could be won back, aud be guar anteed their rights under the Constitu tion, were rejected the day before the battle of Fredericksburg. lie is also charged with having said that order No. 38, of Gen. Burnside, was a base usur pation of arbitrary authority, and that the sooner the people informed the inin ions of usurped power that they would not submit to such restrictions, the bet ter. He declared also his purpose to defeat an attempt to build up a mon archy on the ruins of our free govern ment, and that he believed the men in power were trying to establish a despot ism. The decision of ihe court-martial in the case of \ r alhindigbam was submitted to Burnside—by whose order he was ar re gted—on the Brb. It will not be made public until published in general orders. Arrivals. —Yesterday the Confeder ate steamer Antonica, Captain Robert Thayer, and the British steamer Norse man, Capt. Applebee, arrived here from Nassau. The latter left on Thursday, and the former on Saturday. While nearing Ibe Bar, the Antonica was fired at sharply by the Ironsides aud another Yankee vessel, and one of the shells came near her stern. Mr. J. Bowen came a passenger in the Norseman, and Mr. F. P. Gleason in the Antonica. The steamer Ella and Annie arrived out on Saturday. Left iu port, steamers Calypso, to sail next day ; Victory, Banshee and others. Capt. Lockwood, formerly’ of the Kate, Las purchased a steamer in Havana, and is shortly expected fit Nassau. Tlffe steamer Eagle, from this port, had not reached Nassau up to Saturday, and she may be the vessel which the Yan kees arc reported to have captured near here, and from which they obtained late papers.
