and Second regiment N. Y. S. V., is worthy of commemoration, as evidence of the fighting qualities of the Nationals, and as an act of personal strength and bravery: After several days' severe fighting between the United States forces under General Hooker, and the confederate forces under General Lee, the morning of Sunday, May third, 1863, found the One Hundred and Second regiment, N. Y. S. V., forming a portion of the Twelfth army corps, lying in the trenches on the extreme left of the Federin number, as prisoners, under guard to the rear. The rebel flag was one of the confederate battleflags, made of coarse red serge cloth, about four and a half feet square, having a blue Saint Andrew's cross running from each corner; three white stars were in each limb of the cross, and one star in the centre, making thirteen stars in all. The flag was sent to General Hooker by his order; the sword was presented to Captain Green by his brigade commander, for his good conduct during the battle.

ment. He advised his superior officers, and was directed to enter the house and investigate. This was done, and on opening a door he discovered a party of four or five persons, one of whom was seated by a telegraph instrument, sending messages by a submarine wire across the Rappahannock. They were all arrested, and as their offence is of extraordinary atrocity, a just and speedy punishment will, doubtless, be at once meted out to them. This punishment, according to the laws of war, is death by hanging. The danger that would have resulted from a continuance of this means of conveying information, it is, of course, impossible to estimate; but it must also be borne in mind that General Hooker has displayed the most extraordinary reticence with regard to his plans, so that any facts about a movement that could have been revealed by the wire, would, a short time later, be made known to the enemy by deep-throated cannon, announcing the opening of the ball. --Philadelphia Inquirer.

at a separate space, and guarded two roads, a position of honor, given, as I was assured by General Hooker, as a compliment to the regiment, We were unsuccessful at Chancellorsville, but through no fault of General Hooker's. It would have been a glorious victory, had it not been for the defection of an army corps, and this was due to the bad conduct of its officers, and not to any lack of couragenecdote of the counter-cheering of the rebels and the Twenty-fourth at Fitz-Hugh's Landing.) General Hooker, at Chancellorsville, exhibited splendid generalship. I was told by a prisoner, a rebel colonel — a fact never before printed, I believe — that General Hooker succeeded in transporting thirty thousand men across the Rappahaunock and Rapidan, and right into the centre of the rebel position, without their obtaining the least knowledge of it. In fact, General Hooker succeeded in dividing the rebel army, cutting off Stuart from Lee, and obliging the former to cut his way through in order to

economy. Yesterday morning a party of rebels approached the river opposite Falmouth with a seine, and immediately commenced preparations for a little piscatorial recreation. The officer of our picket, acting in compliance with orders, called out his guard, and ordering the men to prime their pieces, hailed the would-be fishermen after the following manner: Hello, over there! What are you going to do? Fish, was the brief response from one of the party. Don't you know that General Hooker has forbidden fishing in the river? inquired the officer. Yes, but we thought you'd have no objection as long as we kept on our side. But we do object, replied the officer, and if you put that seine in the river I'll order my guard to fire on you. A short consultation among the rebel party ensued, and in a few moments they withdrew, taking their seine with them. Communication between the pickets is no longer allowed, but occasionally a brief conversation is indulged in. A picket

erward. Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock A. M., we were again on the lookout. Now we see more crossing the ford — looks at first like a brigade, but lengthens evidently into a division, and about noon was certainly a corps, supposed, from the report of prisoners, to be Longstreet's. It stretched — artillery, cavalry, infantry, and wagon-train — over a line of four miles, and as the last of their train disappears beyond the Dunkers church, where fell the gallant Mansfield, and where Hooker showed his bold front to the enemy last fall, another column appeared, coming from the river. Our captures to-day amounted to some twenty rebels and two sutler's wagons. We took infantrymen belonging to Eighth Florida, Sixteenth Mississippi, Third and Sixteenth Virginia. Thus you see, Messrs. Editors, we are getting along pretty well. I forward you these particulars as an eye-witness and participator in the honor of most of the captures. The line of the enemy's march for the last two da<

General Joe Hooker. Supposed to be sung by one of his Division, on the summit of Look-Out Mountain, subsequent to its capture, November, 1863. the camp fire bu — for a fight he's the cooker, With three cheers and a tiger, we'll drink to Joe Hooker. The old proverb it runs, “Every dog has his day,” But some dogs have two chalove champagne, toothsome sweets, and good mutton, It is only for fighting that Hooker's a glutton; And with him, at no hardship should private repine, For though temm Richmond were read; And at Look-Out, when counted all out of the fight, 'Twas Hooker who triumphed, 'twas Joe stormed the height. “If a man's got fight in him, lau stern path of duty, showed, led on, the way; Three cheers and a tiger! 'Tis Joe Hooker, the man Who as chief or corps leader will do all he can, And as long as he s man Who as chief or corps leader will do all he can, And as long as he serves our dear country we know Just the spot where to find him, Joe Hooker, our Joe.
