i.c that additional mems Tor the trurs-

Sipcl should again lead his troops.
During "Wednesday and ThurSduy Gen
cral Hooker dct0i,d several Rcpimrnts
10 guthcr up The wounded aud bury the
dead In the south side vi the river. The
iumhrr uf rcbcs found unhuricd was
very large, aud II is believed no effort
was mudc by the enemy TO bury his brave
mcn slaughtered by our artillery during
the five days Suttlcs at ChlncclIorevlllc.
Fortunately the weather was cool and the
rain strycd Hs bam TO ease the wounded
from some of their suntring.
The fact that the enemy left so sudden
IN coLirus General Hooker iu tho belief
that the rebels had bceh very much cut

Hooker was Lusy in giving instructions
10 his various Generals concerning his
proposed pursuit and capture Of Lees ar
my, The question "whcre have the rcb.

The next engagement will take plnc,

moving Us rapidly as possible, Many
maintain that James river viii be th,

This may or may not ho secure, rs

Gethcr with an ample supply Of omrnuni
ton and stores sufficient to last som
eight days,
As soon as he was across the whul
seven corps were placed IN motion, an
depioyed right and let in search OF th
enemy who,. ot the latest accounts, ha
not been found IN force. Owing to IN

General Hooker does not desire rein
agreements.
