HOWEVER disastrous the bare fact of an
enforced retreat into Maryland ou the part
of Banks column may be considered, it
must be confessed that the manner of con-
Quoting it has been highly credita6le as a
military achievement In the FIRST place
there was wonderful disparity of forces.
Banks bad but 4, 900 infantry and 1900 cav
airy and l6 guns. The rebels had some
10000 men, with strong artillery supports,
and probably 1000 or 5000 cavalry. Be-
sides Banks had an immense train to pro-
tect. In spite of all this he withdrew his
army in the face of the enemy from Stras-
burg to the Potomac, and crossed safely
with nine tenths of his trains. No doubt
he suffered severe loss, but it is almost a
miracle that the entire command was not
destroyed.
1t is an axiom among military men that
there is nothing so difficult as successful
retreat The remarkable retreat of Sigel
has been theme for admiration ever since
the battle of Pea Ridge This retreat of
Banks was accomplished under even more
trying circumstances aud will doubtless
when the details come to light be found as
brilliant au achievement as that of the
'gaIlanl Dutchman"

The following important intelligence
comes from our own scouts and deserters
from the enemy, and is only that which is
reliable :-Jackson's column has been rein
forced By about ssUen thousand men from Cor
dOnSViIe and other places OF less note along
10th sides of the Blue Ridge Mountains
This, with the troops previously under his
command, swells his army to $4,000 or 2O.-
600 men. The number of his guns is thir.
ty-four. They are all field pieces, and
among them is one twenty -four FOUNDER
ritisd cannon. He has posted himselfat the
pass of the Blue Ridge, on the western side,
and is within good supporting distance
from Johnson's column in the vicinity of
Gordonsville. The position be has select
ed, AID which it is highly probable he will
defend, is an indentation or alcove at the
base OF in the side Of the range of noun
tains known as Swift Run Gap From this
circumstance You eau readily perceive that
it will be uext to an impOssibility to out
flank him, and that the only manner in
which he can be defeated is Gy stern fight
Ing or by some strategy which will draw
him from this mountain fastness.

Excitement ln CumberlonI.

There was great excitement at Cum
oeFland, Maryland, night before last in
fact, for the day previous-On account of
the supposed proximity of Jackson's rebel
army. Some of the secesh were disposed
to be jbuilant, especially one McCaig, a
prominent and wealthy citizen; aud this
symptom so enraged the loyal people thar a
riot was imminent for several hours during
thenight. McCaig's brick stabling was burn
cd and his house assaulted, aud but for the
military, his life would possibly have paid
the forfeit of his disloyal rejoicing. 1t was
the fact that regiment of Marylanders
were rePulsed aud cut to pieces at Front
Royal, that especially enraged the Cumber-
l"nders at McCaig's unnatural delight,

Yesterday the rear guard of Gen Shields
division left here, and resumed its march
to Fredericksburg. The place has reIap sed
into its former quietude, and the change in
this respect wrought by the departure Of
the troops is quite remarkable
Two days ago johnson and jackson, the
rebel generals in the valley. united their
forces with those of the rebel General
EWell, and encamped around Harrison
burg. 1t is now reported that they are
advancing towards Strasburg, slowly aud
steadily, and, according to one statement,
they are already as far as Edinbnrg. II
this is 50, they will probably try to over.
power General Banks command at Stras-
burg.
The strength of the enemy's forces in
the valley at present is about tWenty-CiV sc
10 thirty thousand men. Two drscrters
made their way here from there Yesterday.
They belonged to Ewell's column. Their
report is that Jackson has been ordered 10
retreat southwark, With the rest of the
rebel forces, but that he has expressed the
determination To die in defence of Virginia,
aud Virginia alone. They also report that
his army would not accompany him to the
cotton States even if he was willing to go
there; and as it is he has to keep extra
guards on duty every night to prevent
thousands Of his command from rushing to
their homes, which are now within the
Union lines.

wEiud in our eastern exchanges mum.
Der of despstches in regard to the move
ments of General Banks, not transmitted
to the papers here. which we deem of suf.
fcient interest to publish even at this late
day.
Under date of Washington, May IS, we
have the following:
The city has been filled with exciting ru-
mors all day in regard to the fate of the
remnant OF Cen Banks column, lett in
the vicinity of Strasburg.
After three-fifths of bis army had been
sent to reinforce Gen. Mcdowell, from the
supposed approach of the rebel forces I'M
der jackson aud EWell ut Fredericksburg,
it appears now that the superstition of Gen.
Mcdowell that Jackson and Ewell were
pressing upon his front was incorrect, and
that ut the very moment when he called
for these achievements these rebel Gener-
ais were still lowering about Gen. Banks
position, aud were not within sixty miles
or several days march of Fredericksburg.
The great cause of regret here is that
the rich valley of the Shenandoah, which
had been recovered by the advance of Gen.
Banks driving Jackson step by step before
him from Winchester to within ten miles of
Stanton, should be again abandoned to
the raids of the rebels without having uc-
complished anything.
Prompt efforts have been made to succor
Banks. 1t is supposed that by Tomorrow
Gen. Miles will have reinforced Banks with
u considerable force.
The enemy are, it is understood, adVau-
cling from Winchester upon !larper's Fer
ry. Our troops are being rapidly reinfOr-
ced.
Runor says that Jackson is advancing
to support Ewell and Johnston, and there
are also statements that still another force
is behind him. Prompt means have been
! taken to meet these emergencies, if truly
| reported.
a dispatch received tonight states that
Gen. Banks has made good his retreat
across the Potomac at WiIliumspOrt.
| Gen. Rufus SaxtOn is in command at
IEarper's Ferry.
Here is dispatch from Banks Indicating
the intentions of the rebels:

The Ministerial Defeat Im Canada.
The crisis in Canada which has resulted
in the defeat aud the resignation of the
ministry, is not without some interest to US
For some months the party which sympa.
thfses with the South, and declaims against
the aggressiyeuess of the North, has sought
to reorganize the militia on the ground
among others, that Canada should hold
itself in readiness to defend itself against
us. The ministers favored the plan. A
bill proposing to carry out their scheme
has been defeated by decisive vote
The people have thus declared that they

a LITTLE paragraph which appears else
where shows that the attack on Banks was
planned month ago Jackson having
united with Johnson in Augusta county,
was expected 10 attack Milroy on the 7th.
The attack was made day later for some
reason. Milroy was not annihilated as they
expected, for the reason that lie received
timely assistance. But they did march on
down the Valley, united with Ewell, fell
upon Banks and drove him iuto Maryland
according to programme. His official re-
port published this morning however, de-
MES that he was ''utterly cut to pieces
though he admits a heavy loss. MARY
land-my Maryland" is not theirs yet by
considerable. The news from Banks is
that the rebels are retreating again up the
Valley, why we cannot tell, unless some
movement is going on ia their rear, of
which we are not appraised.

Tue excitement at Baltimore has sub

there this time very different from what it

sign-an indication of greatly improved
