ITEMS BY LAST NIGHTS NAIL.

There has been terrific fighting At Fred
ericksburg, and through it all, our forces
seem to have been victorious The battle was
thoroughly commenced on Saturday after
noon--was renewed on Sunday, and again
on Monday, continuing all day. Our latest is
up to Monday night. It was likely that the
battle would be renewed Tuesday, and would
be decisive. Nearly ten thousand prisoners
have been taken from the rebels. Rebel
Gen. Hill is reported among the killed.
The enemy is now hemmed in between
Hooker and Sedgwick. Tie Worlds cor
respondent says the battle was resumed on
Monday. and was most desperate affair
The rebels made series of superhuman al
tacks at all points, but we're repulsed With
terrible slaughter. Our forces have de-
stroyed the bridges in the rear of the rebels
across the Mattapcss, thus completely cut
ting off retreat to Richmond.
Major T. ]. Weed has arrived at Leaven-
worth, bringing intelligence that our forces
evacuated Fayetteville, Ark, on the 25th of
April. Col. Harrison, who was in com
mand, appears to have got badly scared,
and on his representations to Gen. Curtis
th9 retreat was ordered. 1t is said to have
been q senseless panic. Before evacuating
the place, Col. Harrison destroyed about all
the tents, saddles, ammunition and regi-
mental property of the First Arkansas regi-
ment. Fifteen hundred Union refugees
followed the command out of Arkansas
The train was seven miles long. All the
the roads leading to Kansas were filled with
the fugitives.
Gen. Blunt has received dispatch from
Col. Phillips, of the Indian Brigade, dated
April 26tb, stating that he had met Stand
waitie's command nearWebb Falls, rout-
ed them, killing some and taking a number
of prisoners. and capturing all their equip
age. He bad prevented the meeting of the
rebel Cherokee Legislature, which was to
have convened at Webber's Falls on the
26h. He also announces the killing of
DR.. Fitzpatrick, an old citizen of Kansas.
Vallandigham. the Ohio traitor and Cop
perhead, was arrested in Dayton, Ohio, on
the 5tn inst, by detachment of u S. troops
from Cincinnati. His friends had the fire
bells rung, and an attempt was made to rally
force for a rescue, but it could not be OBJ
tanned in time. He was taken to Cincinnati
The Washington Republican in a post
script Monday afternoon, says: "Our ad.
vices up to noon to-day are, that the victory
of Gen. Hooker's army is more complete
than was at first supposed. All that the
most sanguine could hope for has been real
lied. We congratulate the army and coun-
try on this most important success"
Great excitement exists at DAYTON, in
consequence of Vallandigham's arrest, and
on Tuesday crowd of 500 or 600 persons
assembled and completely Quilted the Jour
nal Office, and then fred the building, burn
ing it to the ground. The fire communica-
ted to other buildings, and tremendous
confagration ensued. Troops arrived from
Cincinnati, and quelled the riot.
Hard fighting has been going on at Fal
mouth, Virginia, in which our forces had
been victorious, up to latest dates.

GOV. CARNEY.

We see that the Governor has returned
from the East, having disposed of the bonds
authorized by the Legislature last winter, to
fill the Stevens contract, at est cents on the
dollar. They were. sold in New York, the
Secretary of the Interior refusing them.
This is piece of finanoiering that reflects
great credit on our Governor, and puts our
State where it never stood before with cap
italists. Governor Carney is coming up to
the promises and expectations of his friends.
Success is inscribed on his banner.

From FoRT LYoN-INDfAN INTELLIGENCE
The Denver Commonwealth publishes let
ter from Fort Lyon as follows: One com
pany left here ten days ago for Leavenworth,
An order went down ordering them back.
We expect an attack here and also at Fort
Larned from Texans. Col. Bent brought up
information last night that about 1.5OO
Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Sioux and Apaches
were about so miles below here hurrying
north with hundreds of horses which they
had stolen from the borders of Texas. The
Camanches aud Texans were in pursuit OF
them, and also to make an attack on LarDed
and Lyon. We have had scouting parties
out for the last three or four days, and things
look as though we were to have fight. We
have here about $50 men, including two
sections of the Wisconsin battery. IF the
Texans should succeed in taking Larned and
Lyon they would have control of the road to
New Mexico. and a good many trains that
are on the road would easily fall into their
hands. An Indian spy justcome in confirms
the information already received of a large
body of Texans and Camancbes advancing.

agate" writes from Washington to the
Cincinnati Gazette of Gen. Hooker's army:
ave know that it is an army, the like of
which was never seen upon the continent,
not even when, year ago the then young
army of the Potomac marched forth upon
the deserted intrenchments of Manassas; that
it's General has been tried in every military
grade save the one he now fills, and in every
one has royalty dterleapt the expectations
we had formed; that the enemy is inferior
in numbers and equipment al least, if not also
dispirited by half rations and chilling pros
poets. We have some weights to carry in
this contesl-the army is not in the right
place-no military man ever planned or ap
proved an advance on Richmond by way of
Fredericksburg, while few, who deserve the
name, approved of an advance on Richmond
at ALIVE are still hampered by the old de-
fusion that taking towns, instead of destroy
ing armies, is the work we have to do-the
time of some of our troops has almost ex-
pred, and they grow FESTIVE Under the pros
pect Of being detained; but after all we have
everything TO make US hopeful"
