The rebels seem to have acted with signal energy
and skill from the moment that they found Hooker
in force on their right flank. Never troubling
themselves about communications or lines of retreat
they massed their forces-roed them up into a
hard ball, as it were, and threw it with deadly pim
upon Whatever portion of Hookers largely ex.
tended lines they from time to time found weakest.
Notwithstanding their heavy losses. in killed and
wounded, the rebels will claim, and Justly, great
triumph in that they have checked and turned
back the advance of the army of the Potomac.
The rebel losses in killed and wounded probably
exceed our own, and in prisoners are scarcely, If
at all inferior As to the effect of this repulse
on the progress and issues of the war, it is too
early to speculate.-N Y Tribune

Earth Peas.

All those who have raised Earth Peas or Finders
admit that there is greater profit for the labor and
cost of production than any other product Let our
planters put in large crop of them this year. it Is
not yet too late to plant. They arc first rate for
stock, besides they make "arachine OIL" good for
many purposes in the arts, and if we'll purified, As

From the Washington Chronicle. 9Th inst. !

Time only can develop the precise reasons why
General Hooker Withdrew his army across the Rap
pahannock. 1t may be that not only the swelling
of the streams by the three days rain, but some u-
terror purpose caused the movement which was so
unexpected to the public at large. We do not care
to speculate. We are content with certanties. 1t
is certain, then, that We have inficay vastly more
damage on the enemy than they have on us. The
whole amount of our wounded cannot exceed five
thousand, and our killed fifteen hundred This We
learn from reliable sources. There is no means of
telling how many prisoners we have taken, but it
is certainly more than five thousand the number
reported by Lee, and our dispatches from Suffolk
SHOW this to be over estimate The fact that the
enemy were not willing to follow as as we withdrew
70 Inc river nor able to interfere with our crossing
Is certain indication of their exhaustion They
we're unqpestionably terribly cut up. General
o'oognton reports that they acknowledge to unpre-
eeaented losses and that they suffered especially
on the other hand, We find our army in the very.
9ess or spirits. From many whom we have seen
direct from the army We learn tilatthe greatest
thusasm exists: TIE soldiers have perfect conf
dence IN their commanding general. They under.
stand why they are this side of the river, and
they are not inclined to consider themselves driven
back when they know that they lad the best of the
rebels in ever encounter, and destroyed many more
Of them than they lost They are in the best of
spirits. .a,s '.+r#,
