as the Yankee hosts have been taught q lesson
of rebuke, which has deferred them from further

without price, to extend their Inequalities TO

THE LATR BATTLES IN VIRGINIA.

- 10 -
Through our special correspondent at Senate
bis, we are to day put in possession Of some
further details Of the late battles On the Rsppo
hammock From the tenor Of the dispatch, it
cannot be doubted that HOOKER has met with
serushing and disas trous defeat at the hands Of
General LEE. Bis retreat seems to have been
preciptste, as nest Of his dead and wounded
were left upon the fed.
As q large number of HOOKER's army are
two years and nine months men. whose terms Of
service expire during Nay and June, It is not
at al probable that he can recover from this dis
aster, I'll up his ranks, and be ready for often
sive operations again during the summer, unless
reinforcenents be sent him from other fields.
Thee can Hly be spared st present, so that We
may regard the next " On to Richmond as
Postponed at least uatl next fell.
TIE SUMNER CAsIPAIGE The New York
correspondent of the London Times expresses
she belief that the conscripdon act and other
strong measures passed at the close Of the Fed
eral Congress, were designed rather for the sub
jugsfion Of the North than of the South, and
that the summer viii be employed in crush
ing out :" ell exhibitions Of disloyaIiy. It is, he
believes, % prevent the d~isintegration of its
own empire, rather than the ~subjugation of the
SCUM, that immense armies ore to be raised
We cannot coincide with this opinion. We be-
leve that the design is first to consolidate the
North. and then to rush upon the South. But
vs. have 10 doubt Of the result, If in the mean
time we put forth every energy in preparation,
@hd in eounteracting these Xerxss preparations
Whatever the North may DO, we must not be
idle this summer.

eleven wounded, and eight missingi twenty
four in all. The enemy's loss is not known.
The enemy fell bsck toward Newbarn and all
was quiet along the lines below Kinston on
Wednesday. AS the enemy seem to make
these raids in force, we would suggest that if it
would not wetken the force required for the
defense Of Kiuston too much, the picket force at
Gum swamp be reinforced to at least five COM
.paniss. We do not think that six regiments Of
Yankees can be whipped with less than Eve
