SAN Francisco, May, 2.-The ship Rat
tier has arrived from Mannilla. There is
good trade doing with Mexican ports, prin-
cipally in dry goods and merchandise
There is also considerable activity with
the northern ports, but trade with the in
terror is unaccountably delayed. General
ly the markets are considered heavy with
little recent change from previous opera
tions. Mining stocks continue to absorb
the attention of many capitalists and busi-
ness men. The Grouterd and Cary mines
have Just declared their 4th monthly divi-
dend of 500 per foot. Well authenticated
information received from Reese river con-
firms the richness of some of the new silver
mines Just opened on that river.

Our Forces take Fredericksburg
and Carry the Rebel RedOubts.

New YORK, May 4, $50 A. M.-The
Tribune has just issued an extra, as follows:
News by mail from the Rappahannock
is up to Sunday morning. At that time
our left wing was in possession of Freder-
icksburg and of the first line of redoubts
on the hill behind it, and was feeling it's
way to the second line. The river was
crossed and the redoubts carried with great
ease and very slight loss. The rebels had
marched away in the direction of Chancel-
lorville to attack our right wing, there
posted, leaving at first 10000, but subse-
quently not more than 5000 in their works,
as was ascertained by a reconnaissance
from loves balloon. A great portion of
our Falmouth batteries We're engaged on
Sunday with the rebel batteries, firing
across the river into the city. Firing both
of musketry and cannonading on the right,
in the direction of Chancellorville, was
very heavy. The enemy had been forced
to fight on ground of Hooker's choosing,
as he promised his soldiers.
2 It was believed in both wings that Stone
mans expedition to cut the railroad be-
tween the rebels and Richmond had proved
successful, thus cutting off the only path
of retreat. So confident was Hooker at
Falmouth of success that, in con rlformity
with his orders, force had already COM
meneed to rebuild bridge over the Rap
pahannock. The troops are in fine spirits
and every thing looks propitious.

BY TELEGRAPH.
THE ADVANCE OF HOOKER.
Probably Evacuated

New YORK, May 1.-The 7fib~ne in adj
lition to what was telegraphed yesterday,
saws that on Thursday morning seen
changes movement down the river was a
feint. Late Wednesday night the Sd army
corps. which was at Four Mile Bridge,
marched up the river again and joined the
I'd at Banks ford, and early Thursday
morning the 1st corps followed in its path,
and also halted at the same ford, SO that on
Thursday morning there were three corps
across the Rapidan marching right on the
rear of Fredericksburg, by way Or OF Chan nan,
that city, and three more at Banks ford,
with the road to U. g. ford open and COM
munication established with the advancing
columns, all six in position to move direct
ly upon the rebel line of communication,
and the 7th corps still with formidable
display, of course, threatening to cross be-
low and assail the other flank of the enemy.
1t is believed that Lee evacuated Fred
ericksburg precipitately and fell back to-
ward Richmond. kilograms to that effect
were received yesterday, but were. based
upon the presumed necessity Of retreat,
perhaps, as much as upon any direct IN
formation. If it is not true, 1t is so much
the worse for Lee. He had no alternative
but to march out of fredericksburg or to
fight. with certainty that his whole army,
if defeated, will be destroyed or captured.
Stoneman, with his cavalry corps, is in the
rear of any position In Whlcn Lee can pos
sibly have fallen back, and we shall proba-
bly, next hear that both the Virginia Cen
tral and Richmond & Fredericksburg
Railroads are severed. In that case Lee
must fight with what forces he already has,
for no reinforcements can reach him be-
fore Hooker falls on his isolated forces.-
We regard great battle as not merely in
evitabIe, but imminent, perhaps already
fought.
The groundlessness of the rumors which
filed the city yesterday, may be judged
from the fact that no kilograms and no
communication of any kind, except Off
cial, are suffered to pass outside of the lines
to the North. Those which allege that a
battle was fought below Fredericksburg,
are manifestly exaggerations of skirmishes
which occurred when the troops were first
thrown over on Wednesday morning, and
circulated in ignorance Of the facts that the
whole of that movement was feint. 1t is
impossible to suppose that Hooker had di-
vided his army, meaning to attack the re-
bells on both fianks at once, and without
communication between the two wings, the
inevitable result of such strategy would
be that, with a small force, Lee would hold
one half in check while he turned his en-
tire force on the other and destroy it then
annihilate the other side. From stragetic
considerations and probabilities, our infor-
nation on that point is positive.

The Raid into western virginia

PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-1ntenigence
from Western Virginia has been recived.
All of Major Shewalter's command consist
ing of 600 men of the 9th Virginia regiment
and four pieces of artillery arrived al Pitts
burg on a special train from Uniontown,
via the Connellsville railroad at o'clock
this morning. They left for Wheeling by
boats. The military authorities seem con-
vinced that Wheeling is the object OF at
tack and troops are being concentrated
there. a @
It is stated that Mulligan lost $50 men,
taken prisoners, but escaped with his artil-
lery. The rebels at Fairmount are said to
be Il, 600 strong. @
BALTIMORE, May 2.-We are able to re-
port positively that the crisis with the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad is passed. The
Confederats have all left and are NOV
ing Southwark, and our military forces in
great strength are following, andendeavor-
ing to intercept them. The extent of the
lineis o. X. from the Monongahela river 800
miles distant to Baltimore. The damage
is confined to the large iron bridge, one
mile East of Fairmount, and to five i'm
portant bridges within 80 miles West of it.
Three bridges on the Fork Bridge branch
within 20 miles Of Grafton were destroyed.
The creek is uninjured, except at these
bridges. The telegraph lines are all re-
stored and in use. The bridges will all be
renewed within five days effecutally. 1t is
expected all the regular trains viii be re-
sumed on Monday next, and the freight
trains also. The passengers and freight
or three days at the Monongahela bridge.
It is thought that the Parkersburgh line
can be put into full order by Tuesday or
Wednesday next.
