Ey am proud to acknowledge as
brethren all who are for the unconditional
crushing ont OF this rebellion and the
maintenance of the Union, and all who
unite in crushing as traitors those who BY
thought, word, or deed would embarass
the vernment and encourage treason.
The question ut issue is between free
government and the Ivrannies and aristo-
cracries of earth; and, the wretched lead
ers who darkIy conspire for the destruct-
ion of our Union and the subversion of
our Constitution, and who forced REBEL
ion upon their people, are the mere pimps
aud tools and butchers Of monarchy in
Disguise.
1t will be a mighty struggle, but the
Constitution will prevail; the hecatombs
of victims may be offered, but not in vain,
for conspiracy, treason, murder and all
the lesser vilianies will finally come to
Judgment. Cotton, which was to have
been crowned King by European accom-
pl;cies in honor of the lscariots who be.
trayed their country to cIucifiXion, will be
d graded to ibe position of mere sub
ject; and Slavery, the mere pretense for
the wir, will make its exodus from po-
litcal Egypt through Red Sea of bloud.
1t will give gibbets and jaiIs and halters
and piiiories and exiles to its leader here
and freedom and equality and life and
vigor to tie masses Of the Southern peo-
pie. Our country, when it has flushed
this work, as it will, it will leap forward
century at single bound. The vota-
ries Of kingcralt abroad will, for their re-
ward. fad themselves p century nearer
their disgraceful doom than they would
have been but for these great trials of the
popular elements. Their instruments
here, whether on the battle field or the
meaner field Of political warfare, will be
forgotten, except for the wrongs they have
pe'petraed; and the people of this
Union, stretching onward toward hun
dred millions of souls, will be prosperous
peaceful and happy,-D. S. Dickinson.

WASHINGTON, May II.
jaime Madison Cults, the I'd Comp

Jane Madison Cults, the I'd Comp
troller of the Treasury, died this morn
ing.
Hooker detained several troops to gath
er up the wounded and bury the dead
on the south bauk Of the river.
- The number of rebels found unbu-
RED was very large. 1t is believed that
no effort was made by the enemy to bu-
nv the dead. The fact that Lee left thus
suddenly confirmed Gen. Hooker in the
belief that the rebels had been very
much cut up, and that they conteInpla-.
ted retreat if practicable. Accordingly,
on Thursday before the rain ceased Gen.
Hooker ordered forward the 5th corps,
under Gen. Sedgwick. The roads were
in terrible condition; progress was slow.
Gen. Hooker on Friday, directed his at
tention to crossing his whole army at
Banks and United States Fords. Du-
ring the day positions of each corps was
designated. Gen. Hooker was busy in
giving instructions to the various Geuer-
ais concerning the proposed pursuit and
capture of Lees army.
The question:" Where have the reb-
els gone p is going around unanswered
in the hotels to-day.
The opinion of military men is that
they have fallen back in two columns to-
ward Richmond, and others think to-
wards Gordonvlle, in the hope of con
centrating with Longstreets force in
front of Richmond. The next engage
ment will, probably, take place near the
upper Pamunky river, whltber Hooker is
moving as rapidly as possible. Many
maintain that james river will be the
next line the rebels will defend.
1t is reported to-day that our army is
on motion southwark, and that skirmsh-
ing with the rear guard Of the army had
commenced.
1t is reported that Fredericksburg and
the Heights of St. Marye contain our
troops to-day.
Troops are again arriving here, and it
is rumored that another army will move
south to support Hooker in a day or
two.

ture of Richmond is contradieted here

At an early hour Hooker completed
crossing his entire force, together with
ample supplies Of ammunition and stores,

As soon as he was across the whole
seven corps were placed in motion and
depIoyed on the right and left in search
of the enemy, who at latest accounts
had not been found in force. The com
ing week will probably witness the great
est conflict on the continent. Hooker
does not desire reinforcements. It is
not believed that Hentzeman has gone
to reinforce Hooker, but there is no
doubt that his army is in motion.
