The great victory. Owing to an omission in printing some remarks in yesterday's Dispatch upon the last important victory of Southern arms, we were made to say the battle was fought on Saturday. The main fight after the heroic Jackson had gotten behind the enemy begun on Saturday. According to General Lee the enemy was on that day, under the combined attack of Jackson in the rear and Longstreet in front, driven to within one mile of Chancellorsville, probably a distance of four miles. The contest was renewed on Sunday morning, and the enemy "was dislodged from all his positions around Chancellorsville, and driven back to wards the Rappahannock," over which he was retreating when General Lee wrote his dispatch — at what hour on Sunday the paper itself does not show. Ere this goes to press we may have further particulars of this triumph, inferior in importance to none of the very many which have crowned the arms of the Southern Confederacy.

T that of "Chancellorsville" or "Wilderness." The latter would not be inappropriate. It was "out of the Wilderness" that Jackson drove the Yankees: equally merciful beasts of prey and plunder choose the Wilderness for a hiding place from which to deks and herds. To seek them there and end their depredations is the part of the sagacious, practiced, and brave hunter. Jackson is just such a hunter of the hordes which are infesting the homes, the garners, and fields of the South.

He crashed upon them in the Wilderness, killing and wounding and pursuing them. Thus "Jackson drove the Yankees out of the Wilderness."

ad will be repaired and in running order for the entire line this morning as we learn, and the Fredericksburg Road was ready for the cars yesterday morning. Not a bridge worthy the name was destroyed; the most important that was attacked was the bridge across the Chickahominy, on the Fredericksburg Road, and that was but little injured. Some culverts and cattle-stops were disarranged — nothing more. The plan of destroying the aqueduct of the canal over the Rivanna was frustrated by General Fitzhugh Lee. That would have been a serious injury, and that was avoided. So the Yankee cavalryman, with his long sword, saddle, bridle, cavorting around, has done nothing — save to get away, for which he has to thank the stars, or somebody else. Altogether, it is the most remarkable affair of the war. For deliberate, prolonged planning, elaborate equipment, and contemptible achievement; for the magnitude of its promises and the poverty of its performances, it is without parallel. It is n

at hand. Great Britain, through her Ministers, will require of Mr. Adams an explanation and back out from the "pass;" but Mr. Adams will be saved from any humiliation from the fact by the contemporaneous act of seizing the Alexandria in compliance with his impudent demand that the British Government should allow no vessel suspected to be destined for the rebel service to leave her ports. Could there be a more amicable and mutual settlement of threatening difficulties? As Mr. Laird said in Parliament, there is no difference in principle in furnishing one belligerent with a ship and another with guns and powder and saltpetre. But Lords Palmerston and Russell, in the language of their great countryman will, no doubt, "like scurvy politicians seem to see the things" they "dost not." Meantime, of this quarrelling and embracing of the lion, and the whatever he is of the White House, let us continue to whip the Yankees and we shall shape diplomacy to our own taste ultimately.

Mr. Adams, Yankee like, while he was very anxious to help along the Mexicans by giving safe conduct to their arms and ammunition to fight the French, wished to do it cover of his letter." No doubt of it. Opportunely, however, the way for an amiable adjustment is at hand.

," says the Times, "cannot go as suppliants to foreign Ministers to transact business." Mr. Adams, Yankee like, while he was very anxious to help along the Mexicans by giving safe conduct to their arms and ammunition to fight the French, wished to do it covertly, and not to provoke the ire of England by the act. He was also, Yankee like, exceedingly "chagrined at the publication of his letter." No doubt of it. Opportunely, however, the way for an amiable adjustment is at hand.

England and the United States. We have published recently two important pieces of news bearing upon the relations of England and the United States. One of them — the notice of the permit given by Mr. Adams, U. S. Minister, to a ship proceeding to Matamoras with a cargo of arms and ammunition for the Mexicans in their war withUnited States. One of them — the notice of the permit given by Mr. Adams, U. S. Minister, to a ship proceeding to Matamoras with a cargo of arms and ammunition for the Mexicans in their war with the French, and the comments of the British press thereon — and the other that of the seizure of the ship Alexandria, at Liverpool, on suspicion that she was intended for the Confederate service. Connecting these two events, the inference is fair that they are to compose and settle all possible disturbance that might originate fre the blockading vessels of his Government were arresting English vessels bound to the same port, on the allegation that they were engaged in trade with the Confederate States, was an insult which the British could not brook.--Of course they fired up at it, and declared that in no case could they submit to the humiliation of askin<
