FROM THE RAPPAHANNocK.-One Of the
"fast'' reporters sent word, last Saturday,
that the rebel army had left Fredericksburg,
Withdrawn from the Rappahannock, and gone
no one knew whittier; and that the "stars
and stripes were flying on the heights Of
Fredericksburg" which were occupied by
Gen. Hooker's troops. This report was not
true 1t has been formally contradicted.
The rebels still occupy Fredericksburg
but an important movement has taken place
on the Rappahannock. A division from Gen.
Hookers command has crossed that river on
a accommodating expedition; and this move
ment has been conducted with such sudden
ness and audacity as to cause a sensation in
both armies. The purpose of the reconnois-
sance was to ascertain the exact strength and
position of the rebels and penetrate their de-
signs.

Fernando Woods peace meeting" did not
shake the world very much. but it did draw
forth some copperhead utterances that should
not escape attention. Thomas H. Seymour
OF Connecticut sent letter to Woods meet
ing. in which he discussed the attempt of the
government to crush the rebellion Here is a
part of what he said
''This invasion of neighboring states, with
an eye to conquest the confiscation of prop
erty, and general severe dealings with high
minded, generous, and brave people, pIlose
great fault consists in too hastily resisting en-
croachments on their rights, has my deepest
adherence, and make no apology for saving
So"
1t is plain enough that this mans heart is
on the side of the jeff Davis traitors. Ac-
cording to his statement the war to put
down treason is m ''invasion of neigh
boring states;" and the traitors who have
done everything in their power to break
DOWN the government and destroy the Union,
are "a high~minded, generous and brave peo-
pie who are sometimes hasty but always in
the rlght' The man who can talk in that
way belongs to the rebels, and does not de-
serve liberation in any loyal community. He
finds fault only with those who seek to mt
down treason, andSees in the traitors ratbertoo
much haste in resisting encroachments on
their rights, but otherwise nothing but what
is good, brave, generous, and altogether adj
mirable. Let this man go to CHS own
and stay there. He talks precisely as
his southern masters would have him talk,
although, we presume, they would have his
copperhead letters more creditable to his in

quoted, considered merely as literary pro-

The News FROM PORT HUDsoN.-On our
first page, this morning, will be found full
account of the news from Gen. Banks com.
mand. He has made an attack on Port Hud-
son, and, at last accounts, held the place close
ly invested. We have only the first reports
from the battle at that point. The next arriv-
al from New Orleans will undoubtedly bring
important news. All the reporters agree
that, in the battle of which we have
some account, one of the Louisiana regi-
ments fought with wonderful bravery, and
won general admiration. 1t is stated that
this regiment lost 600 killed and wounded
but this is, doubtless, an exaggeration which
the next reports will correct. Port Hudson,
like Vicksburg, is very strongly fortified and
may, perhaps, require a siege to reduce it.

REINFoRCEMENTs FOR GEN. GRANT.-It
has been stated repeatedly that Gen. Grant
has been ''heavily reinforced" but without
any inhmation of the sources from whence
the reinforcements were drawn. Here is one
item, however. A letter from Columbus.
Ky, dated May so, and printed in the Mill
waukee News, says "the 9th and 2Sth Wis
consin infantry regiments and the I'd Illinois
and 4th Missouri cavalry, are under orders to
leave at once for Vicksburg." We infer that
many of the scattered troops at the west have
been collected and sent down the river to
General Grant. Under the head of ''river
news" the st. Louis papers of June give
the following significant items -
'Early yesterday morning the Atlantic
with quite number Of sanitary goods aboard,
passed down. She also had the goth Iowa,
from Paducah. We hear to-day that the
