New YoRK, May 9.-The New York
World S Washington social states that
the President and Haikck received in
,elligence that Hooker was re-crossing
the Rappahannock, yesterday. They
Immediately proceededro his headquar-
tiers at Falmouth, wher they spent the
night and most of III day, returning
here late this afternoon
The report which to,Sd its way into
print that 10000 men sere sent from
Heintzelman' department to reinforce
Hooker was untrue. iot single man
was sent
The most reliable estimates of our en-
tire loss in iii ed, wouded. and prison
ers places il not in excss Of 5000.
Gen. AveriIl has bee relieved of his
command, for not keepls open commu-
nication with Stonema and following
orders for his part in tie cavalry expe-
dition. Averills friene are confident
that he did nothing tharsn not be fully
justified.
The reported loss of "a large amount
of field artillery in HokG's retreat is
untrue 1t is believed that our forces
brought away more thar they crossed
with.
Hooker had really re,p,sed the Rap
pahannock before he harc, through the
rebel papers, of the slcces of Stone
man 5 expedition.
But few wounded ar arriving here.
The cause of the delay is Unknown.
The President told a number of the
Cabinet this afternoon, sn@ his return
from Falmouth, he found Iooker's army
in much better condition than he antici-
pated, and believed the moment the
weather cleared off it could again make
forward movement, if it shall be SO de-
cided.
During the improbable rumors brought
by boat this afternoon, was one that the
enemy commenced Smelling Falmouth
to-day, and another that Hooker COM
menced to cross again.
