he same time Gen. A. P. Hill, the ranking Major-Gen'l of his corps, was also disabled. Gen. Rodes, whose heroic conduct made him a Major-General on the battle-field, and who succeeded Hill in command, immediately dispatched a messenger to Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, who had proceeded with a detachment of cavalry towards Ely's ford, and on the arrival of that General formally turned over the command to him, with the full approbation of General Hill, whose wounds disabled him from further participation, even by conference, in the battle. It was then too late to renew the battle, and Gen. Stuart busied himself in reorganizing the command, hurrying up ammunition, and preparing everything for the struggle next morning. Riding upward and down the lines, he scarcely closed his eyes throughout the night, and saw in person that all was ready. At daylight in the morning he formed his line of battle, gave the order for his right to advance, and soon engaged Hooker with the entire corps, drivin

hen he was rendered hors du combat, and forced to leave the field? We have received from authority which places the statement beyond question the following particulars, which we briefly put on record, for the information of our readers: Gen. Jackson made his great flank movement against the right and rear of the enemy on Saturday. Getting into position, he attacked with his corps about an hour before sunset, and driving the Eleventh corps of the Federals before him, routed and pushed them nearly to Chancellorsville. His assault was made at the well-known locality of the Wilderness; and this contest will be known in history as "The Battle of the Wilderness." Soon after 9 o'clock at night Gen. Jackson received the wound which caused his death, and about the same time Gen. A. P. Hill, the ranking Major-Gen'l of his corps, was also disabled. Gen.

These details of the battles which terminated in the defeat of Hooker, and his inglorious rout, are noted down for the satisfaction of our readers, for whom the late occurrences on the Rappahannock still continue to possess a paramount interest.

may be applied with equal propriety to many thousands of Yankee birth, who are certainly not better or braver men than the Germans. The enemy was dreadfully defeated beyond a doubt, and with his demoralization and his rapidly disbanding regiments he cannot with any immediate movement menace our own Army of the Potomac, which stands now with no superior in history, ancient or modern. The victories we have recently won are clearly among the grandest on record. The enemy was assailed by Jackson, on the memorable 2d of May, in a position (as the Whig justly says,) stronger than that at Gaines's Mill, and driven from it. The Wilderness was a fastness which an army ought to hold against almost any colds; yet what do we see? A Confederate force drives out of that position an army of Yankees at least three times as numerous as itself! Is not that a great victory? Is not that something to boast of? Something to be rejoiced at? Can an army immediately recover from such a defeat as o

ly inappropriate to the condition of our worsted, wounded, and demoralized adversary on the Rappahannock. The Examiner, of yesterday, states that the spoils of the battle-fields are immensely large — including fifty thousand muskets and rifles, and a vast amount of coats, knapsacks, etc., abandoned by the enemy. This is the best evidence of a stampeded and flying army. None other escaping from the field of fight would have left so much behind. Even Northern accounts show that the army of Hooker, or a very large part of it, ran "as only men do as when convinced that sure destruction is starting them." We quote their own words applied to the flight of the Datchmen commanded by that hero of bombast, Carl Shurz, and have not a doubt that it may be applied with equal propriety to many thousands of Yankee birth, who are certainly not better or braver men than the Germans.
