Though it is evident from all points that
the season Of activity has begun, and that
presently it Will thunder all round the war
horizon, still the chief interest centres on
the I>arpa1annock, now once more in the
rear Of the Army Of the Potomac, and be-
fore them the foe, md beyond the latter
Richmond. The movement is apparently
3 thorough one, and successful up to Satur-
day. Our forces had occupied Fredericks-
burg, for the third time in this war: By
Gen. Hooker's plan, as far as is known, he
this time gives the enemy care tor h1s
communications, if, indeed, those be not
already destroyed by some such cavalry
raid Us OUT Union troops have oeen
burning to execute. 1t IS 100 early
to write Of what may occur. 4 bat
lie is imminent, and severe ono. Ihe
foolish rumor in the dispatches that the
|. 1rlcl General Lee has only 8 sham force
before Gen. Hooker, having al his army On
,, a raid into Northern Virginia is doubly
stupid. The rebels are in force and will
make a stiff fight and Hooker and his no.
blc army expect no less. Gen. HookeTs
!,rocrcss will he watched with beating
hearts ly the natit'n.
From Rosecruns' department, the news
comes of near approach of the two great
armies, 50 near that two great battles in the
East end West must take place almost
simultaneously. Already the pickets o1
Blrckin1idge at Hoovers Gap are within
two miles Of our own, below Murfreesboro
AS proof of how the aspect is regarded
at headquarters, it may be stated that th'
military hospitals along the Ohio River haT'
been entirely cleared Of patients sen
northward to other points, to make room
for tile new and sudden influx now deemc'
near at hand Two carloads Of these pa
ti.nts are row in Dr. 1sham's charge ut th
Marine Hospital in this city.
From Western Virginia the news is cor
iiicting. One account speaks in contlden
terms Of the presence Of a stray rebel fore
north of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Threatening raid into Pennsylvania. Ger
Echcnck S conduct is criticised strongly.
The latest adyices from New Orlear
continue the previous accounts Of the goo
work in progress by Gen. Banks Matte
are looking bright in that part Of the t1e]
Of war.
Gricrson's raid into Mississippi, for bol'
ness and effectiveness, has not been e:
cec,.cd during the war, This raid busine'

New YoRB, May 3.-The Baltimore CORE

force is still north of the railroad, with twenty
pieces ofa.til1ery, probably near Brownsville,
Pa, He SAYS Gen. schenck las utterly failed
to expcl the rebels mp to that date. May lst,
though ample means are at his disposal. The
came correspondent states that the rebels
were concentrating on Friday at Bridgeport,
and has no doubt that the greater part Of
Lees army is in Northern Virginia, having
left small force behind to hold Hooker in
check.
BALTIMORE, May e.-We arc able to re-
mort positively that the crisis with tho Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad is passed. The Con-
federatcs have all left it, moving southwark,
and our military forces in strength arc follow
ing and cndcayoring to intercept them. The
extent of the injury done to the road is now

| Leila River, 800 miles distant to Baltimore.
| The damage is confined to the large iron
bridge, one mile east Of Fairmont: aud to
five important bridges within thirty miles
west Of it, and three bridges on tile Park
