GENERAL HOOKER'S ORDER OF THE

DAY.

On the 6th inst. General Hooker issued the
Following document :
Head.quarten, Army of the Potomac, May 6.
[General Order No. 49.]

The Major-General Commanding tenders to this army
his congratulations on its achievements of the last seven
days. If it has not accomplished all that was expected,
the reasons are well known to the army. It is sufficient to
say they were of a character not to be foreseen or prevented
by human sagacity or resources.
In withdrawing from the south bank of the Rappahan-
nock, before delivering a general battle to oar adversaries,
the army has given renewed evidence of its confidants, in
itself and its fidelity to the principles it represents.
By fighting at a disadvantage we would have been
recreant to our trust, to ourselves, to our cause, and to our
country. Profoundly loyal and conscious of its strength,
the army of the Potomac will give or decline battle when-
, ever its interest or honour may commend it.

By the celerity and seamy of our movements one ad-
vance and passage of the river were undisputcd ; and on
our withdrawal note rebel dared to follow us. The eventa
of the last week way well o.use the heart of every ofsoer
and soldier of the army to swell with pride.
We have added new laurels to our former renown. We
have made long marcher, crossed rivers, surprised the
enemy in his entrenchment% and whenever we have fought
we have inflicted heavier blows than those we have received.
We have taken from the enemy 5,000 prisoners and 15
colours, captured seven pieces of artiller►, and placed ho,v
de combat 18,000 of our foe's chose* troops.
We have destroyed his desalts filled with vast amounts of
stores, damaged his cominunications, captured prisoners
within the fortifications of his capital, and filled his country
with fear and consternation. _

We have no other regret than that caused by the loss of
our brave companions, and in thu we are consoled by the
ooaviction that they have fallen in the holiest mum ever
submitted to the arbitration of battle.

General Lee, in an official order, dated the 11th
inst., announced to the Confederate army the death
of General Stonewall Jackson. It was found neces-
sary to amputate his wounded arm, and the effects
of the operation, together with pneumonia, caused
his death. In speaking of hie wound, previously to
his death, the Hichnionci Examiner says :
" We could better spare a brigade or a division,
and our baae foe will exult in the disaster to
General Jackson ; yet the accursed bullet that
brought him down was never moulded by a Yankee.
Through a cruel mistake, in the confusion, the hero
received two balls from his own men, who would all
have died for him."

the Polish provinces incorporated with Russia by
means of massacres and a social revolution. The
plan, however, has failed, except in some portions
of the districts of Wasilkow and Zylomierx, where
assassivatiuns have been committed.
" The peasants everywhere fight against the
Russians."

Orsza, on the Dnieper, in the government of
