LATEST FROM THE ARMY.

Our news from the Rappahannock is drec
aud positive down TO Tuesday morning last al
which time one of the Editors of this jOurna
left the Army Of the Potomac. All reports Of
moyements since Gen. Hooker recrossed the
river, on the night of May 5, are wholly with.
out foundation. The army, after reaching the
north side of the Rappahannock, returned leis-
urely to its old camps, and has occupied them
ever since. Gen. Sedgwck has not recrossed
with two corps or one, or with any force
whatever, nor has any other commander or
body of troops been beyond the lines of the
camp. So much for the widely. y.circuated re-
ports with which the inventive talent Of Phil
adelphia favored the country on Saturday and
Monday. When the army does move and
whittier it goes will probably be known after
it hes started, and not before.
The troops are in good spirits. Among the
rank and file there is certainly feeling OF
disappointment at the retreat, but nothing which
can be called Generalization. 1t is difficult
perhaps for the army to understand why the
first campaign was abandoned, but they are
nevertheless entirely ready to begin another,
and will enter upon it with confidence in
themselves and their commanders.
Gen stoneman's cavalry performances have
been very extensively received as q complete
success, and it seems right, therefore, to say
that they have been exaggerated. Some mis-.
chief was done on the Virginia Central Rail-
road-a matter Of little or no consequence to
the immediate success Of tho movement with
which the cavalry was expected to cooperate
but tie Rchgg2d and Fredericksburg Bail.

TEX As.

Mr.. Francis X. Lubbock, the present Con.
federate Governor OF Texas, ran for Lieut.
Governor on the regular Democratic ticket -
in 1859, but was beaten by 1873 majority.
(Clark, Independent, 81 ,458; Lubbock, 80, 325. }
That was the first open development OF the
Disunl6n movement in Texas, the COufederates
having seized upon the machinery OF the Demo-
cratic party aud betrayed their purpose by
demonstrating n favor of reopenng the African

how Lubbock attained tie Governorshp we

election. Andrew j, Hamilton, who was elected
TO Congress by the Unionists in 80, is an un-

Member, who was chosen on the regular"
or Runnells and Lubbock ticket, blossomed into
a full-grown traitor, and is or has been Jeif.
Dayis's Postmaster General.
Lubbock delivered on the 9TH of February
his Message to the Confederate Legislature Of
Texas, whereof al official pamphlet copy has
just reached us. We learn from it that Texas
has contributed Sixty-eight thousand Five
Hundred Men to tho Rebel armies, or 4,773
in excess of her highest popular vote-which
is as if New-York had sent Seven Hundred
Thousand Men into the War He estimates
that, between the ages of siItesn and sirty,
but Twenty seven Thousand remain-in other
words, the capacity of Texas to place men iu

three months ago. Yet the Rebel authorities

augmentation, and persuasion-as best they
can to talk society back to common sense and
judcious work. In o century of machinery.
with a plenary faith in the mechanical powers,
men move in Masses and rout the Devil in a
solid column, giving themselves up to pro-
grnmmes and pet theories. However distaste-
cal mind, it is clearly better than moral ill.,
ertin, with its irresistible result of con-
fusion and public distress Benevolent
Societies. if they do nothing more,
at least force US out of semi.sumbrous
acquiescence and complacent dreams. They
do not suffer society comfortably to dcude
itself. They do not permit the strong to tread
down the weak without filing protest. They
keep our consciences tender by incessant i'm.
portunlty. A little more than thirty years ago,
Human Slavery was as sinful and as foolish as
it is now, yet it troubled the mental peace
only Of few Quakers and of Mr.. Garrison.
Since that time, with infinite difficulty, with
no end of speeches aud newspaper writing. it
has been hammered into the hardest heads
that Slavery is wicked blunder. Now the
Northern man who defends it is justly regarded
as phenomenon. But who can compute the
amount OF talking, wise and foolish, the meet

Ono hundred colOred men left lndianapo'

year earlier, this would have excited Demo-
cratic mob; now, a few muttered curses were
all that indicated repuguance to letting all
fight for the good cause who viii.
The CoPperhead feeling has been very ms

so at present. Most of the Charter Elections

New-York daily tribune., 1863-05-14

Gen. FRANZ SIGEL returned to this city
Yesterday, after On Intellectual visit to Wash
ington, which was made in the hope to serve
the Republic again in the field. We suppose
it will hardly be doubted that Gen. Sgel has
some military talent and experience which
might be made available against the enemy.
Yet he has in vain offered and asked TO be as
signed to any duty provided be might be
thought. competent, even if it were no more
than that of an aid on the staff of the General
commanding the Army Of the Potomac. How
long will the military authorities at Washing
ton continue to think they can afford to dis
pense with the services Of loyal, earnest, de-
voted, capable men, who are willing to be put
anywhere they can be useful When they
have ceased TO cherish and act on such opinions
this war will be considerably nearer its end
thau it is now.

road was so little injured that the trains were
not stopped for twenty-four hours.
Gen. Stoneman was ordered to strike that
road by forced marches and destroy it. His
forced marches consisted in taking four days
to travel forty.fve miles, from Kelly's Ford 70
Sections Junction, and the destruction was
confined to blowing up one or two cuyerts
and dsplaciDg few rails. The destruction
in other places was more extensive, but thl'
does not interrupt Lees communication with
Richmond-the essential purpose of Gen.
Stonemans expedition.
1t is idle to deny that the campaign of Gen.
Hooker, which began go auspicously, came tC
premature and Intellectual end. His losses
were considerably heavier than the published
estimates, and will not amount to less thar
sixteen thousand, killed, wounded and missing
The actual present returns exceed seventeen
thousand, but may be little reduced. Lee II
said to admit loss of eighteen thousand
which Is far greater than ours in proper
ton TO the strength of his army. Bu
why weigh out losses one against the other
II 10 success that Is Of consequence. Gen
Hooker's army, however, still largely outnum
bers the Rebel forces, and since it is undenla
bly, in good spirits and condition, let us hop
that its next movement will close the long cat
alogue Of its reverses by decisive victory.
