--latest from the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Of . Great Hattie.

Latest from the RappahannOck-Rep
Of . Great Hattie.
Our latest intelligence from the Rappahan-
mock is that on Saturday morning last, between
eight and ten o'clock, heavy eannonading
was in progress on the extreme left of General
Hooker's line, below Fredericksburg, simulta.
neously with a lighter cannonading on his
right above and beyond the town, on the ene-
mys left flank, from which the inevitable con-
illusions are that the rebels in great force, are
still on the ground, and that general battle
had begun. 1
Since the commencement of General Hooker's
advance the telegraph at Falmouth has been
monopolieed by him and the government, 90
that our latest reports from the field are necos-
sarily by mail. Through this channel we shall
probably receive information this morn
ing, direct from the army, down to
Saturday evening. /, In the meantime, from
the facts before u.s. we are lex to
conjecture the events that have filed up the
important interval Of the last two days. The
city yesterday was full Of absurd rumors Of de-
feat and disaster, which we hope will be COM
pletely dispelied by Official intelligence to-day
of the greatest achievement Of the war.
On Thursday last, in his general order Of the
day, General Hooker announced to his army
that the operations Of the preceding three days
had determined that the enemy must either
ingloriously dy or come ont from behin0 his
deiences and give us battle on our own ground,
where certain destruction awaits him." From
this we are assured of two things-6rst, that the
rebels In force were still behind their intrench-
ments, and, secondly, that the only doubt in the
mind of General Hooker was whether they
would accept the issue of battle or precipi-
lately retreat. Nor do we yet know that they
have risked general battle; for the
cannonading Of Saturday morning, on both
sides, may have been only TO feel the enemy's
positions We still adhere to our theory of
a rebel evacuation, and think it likely that as
at Antietam, it may have been effected under
cover Of the night; for, considering the num-
bers Of the rebel forces engaged elsewhere,
East and West, we believe it simply impossible
that General Lee could muster an army capa-

Nor had Lee any choice except TO come out
from his intrenchments or consent to have. bis
communication with Richmond completely cut
of.
With the conclusion, therefore, that the rebel
army has retreated, or has been beaten, or is
held 90 tightly in the grasp of General Hooker's
flank movement that it cannot escape decisive
defeat, We await the definite and satisfactory
news which we expect to-day

T Santa Fe passengers for the East will bear
in mind that they strike the railroad one day
sooner at Leavenworth than at Kansas City.
The way to safe this time is to leave the old
Santa Fe road at Fort Larned, and come via the
Smoky Hill valley. If the Kansas Stage Com
pany were to advertise this fact in Santa Fe, the
outlay would return tenfold.
