THE HEGIRA FROM DIXIE.

1t appears from a paragraph In the Rich
mond Di,pdteh Of the 2lst, that there Is a great
desire TO get away from Virginia, on the part
OF many Of the Inhabitants. In a paragraph
headed Going North, !" the Dfspdteh says that
Gen. wlnder, Military Governor, would be glad
to grant facilities to persons 40 inclined, but it
Is not in his power to do 30. The DIspateh says
that people imagine they can 60 to Fortress
Monroe on the nag-of-truce boats, II they can
only get a pass from Gen. winderi but they
cannot do so, for the reason that Capt. Mulford
has received positive orders from his Govern
ment not to allow any except Yankee soldier
or q Union man to go on the boats. Persons
going North from Richmond have to do so "by
land route known to the initiated" taking
the risks of falling into the hands of the enemy

GRANTS VICTORIES.
BATTLE OF BAKERS CREEK.
Three THOUSAND PRISONERS TAKEN.
THREE BATTERIES CAPTURED
ER B A T T L E S
More Batteries and Rebels Taken,

CINcrNNATI, May 25.-special dispatches
from Gen. Grants army contain full accounts
Of the battles on the Mississippi, representing
them as a series Of bloody engagements, In
which our soldiers immortalized themselves.
The Con,msreials special dispatch dated Bat
tlefeld, Bakers Creek, May 10th, says the Fed
eral army under Grant has won another glori-
ous victory. A furious battle, lasting nearly
FIVE hours, resulted In the defeat OF the enemy
at all points, with a loss of 5000 killed and
wounded.
We captured three complete batteries and two
thousand prisoners, besides large quantities Of
small arms and camp equlpage.
Our successes are signal and complete.
Early on the morning Of the 10th, McClcr-
naDd's corps was put in motion. Hovey's di-
vision advanced across an open field at Fort
Campion hill; and, at II O'Clock, covered with
timber, hanked on both sides with ravines and
gullies, and In many places covered with an
almost lmpenetrable growth Of scrubby bushes
the rebels opened with heavy ERE from -four
gun battery and from sharpshooters In the
wood. Here the battle ragged terribly from II
O'Clock until 3.
Hovey's division carried the heights In gall
liant style, making dash upon the first bat
terry and capturing it. The rebel dead lay
thick in the vicinity Of their guns. Gun car
rlages and calssons broken and overturned,
while knapsacks, blankets, small arms and
other debris attend the struggle for the ground.
At this juncture, he.,rebels being reinforced,
Hovey was slowly driven back, but brigade
from Gen. Quinby was ordered to his support,
and the ground was speedily reoccupied and
the rebels finally ropulsed.
At the commencement of the engagement
Logan's division marched past the brow Of the
hill forming line of battle on the right OF
Hovey and sweeping everything before them to
the edge of the woods.
In front Of Logan, the battle was of tho most
desperate character imaginable. The rattle of
musketry was incessant and continued, and the
reports no blended that a single discharge was
rarely heard.
Logan captured two batteries, large num-
Der Of prisoners, small arms, &C.

The President, accompanied BY Senator Doc

administering such consolation At he was able
10 tho inmatessySThe visit was an unexpected
pleasure to the poor fellows, confined by
wounds and sickness, and the President eT-
pressed his great qualification at the improved
condition of the hospitals and the compare
lively comfortable condition of the patients.
He shook hands with over one thousand SOL
dlers, nearly all of whom were able to stand
up and respond to the salutation. He found
not more than three or four cases which are
deemed entirely hopeless in his rounds.
The eyes Of the soldiers gllstened brightly as
Father Abraham toek them by the hand, and
the interview was no doubt highly beneficial to
them. DR.. Lydell, surgeon of the Stanton Hos

THE RnBELs THREATENINo CON-
Quest.

oVEhTs .-fa
The Richmond press are StIn talking about
aggressive movements. They argue that the
Federal army win soon be 20 much strength
ened by the new enrolment and drsfl that they
will be able to fall with crushing weight upon
the forces Of the South, which have already
reached their maximum. But in the mean
time the reduction of our power by the with
drawal Of the nine months and two years regi-
ments affords them q brief opportunity, as
they think, for breaking through our lines and
making raid north OF Mason and Dlxon's
line.
In this spirit lie an article in the Richmond
Examiner OF the 2lst inst, now lying before
us, from which we take tho following para
graphs;
"Tf it will be ever possible to attempt any
thing beyond the defensive even, this would
seem to be the time. Since the fret battle Of
Manassas, the Southern army has never had
so evident an opportunity to gain yiCtory-a
gain the Southern army, ,chich has so often re-
pulsed The enemy NTH Sangui',drv effect, CANNOT
De SAID TO HAVE MADE ON ANY OCCASION OR
AT ANY TINE. A victory signifies something
more than the preventing the success Of an at
tack. Progress, conquest, or some step towards
the conclusion OF the war is involved in the
Idea sf victory. With all our glorious battles,
toe have not yet recovered single lost city or
delivered any sn,6jugdted State from The hrOl O
The inradsr. five can ever do such a thing We
must hope to do 1t shortly, for we shall never
behold our foe so weak again.
Defensive operations are, no doubt, more
facile and surer OF success In kind. While the
Confederate army is what it now is, the enemy
will be beaten whenever he crosses the Kappa.
hammock or ventures again on the James. But
defensive operations will never secure the ac'
acknowledgement Of our Independence, or end
the war. The Yankees will fight us for forty
years on the present terms. NO people are
more pertinacious; and Washington well noted
this popularity of their character, that they
arc totally fearless until they see a bayonet a
their breast, though they are remarkable fo
their pusillanlmIty. So long as the war mean
the despatch of men and money to a distance
and SO long as they fail to sec the columns o.
an invading army blackenIng their fields, lii
BY the fame Of their houses and towns, they
will be stubbornly determined to prosecute it
From the FIRST day the only reasonable hope o.
tho Confederacy has been he trGnsfer Of hOstili
ties 10 the enemy'S territory. If we cannot dc
that, the progress Of inVaSiOn, hOrcrer slOc, must
after a time, opsrUheln, US. No treaty Of peace
is possible save that signed on The eDsmv's soil,
