MELANCHOLY MATHEMATICIAN OF GE
LATEST NORTHERN NEWS.

Late Northern papers were received in Richmond on
the 9th, from which is gathered the following:
The account of the fights at Charlottesville and
Fredericksburg is published in the usual sensational
style, and headed: 1.-THE rebels shattered at Chance-
lorsville-The position egnable---Sedgwick lau-
relied with success" &C. They then go speak of
what they term Hooker's great generalshp and Ma
poeonc qualities, and say their entertainments at
Charlottesville the best they ever had.
The Washington Chronicle, OF The 4th, publishes an
order from Hooker, dated the 30t expressing to the
army his heartfelt satisfaction that the operations Of
the last three days have determined that the enemy
must ingloriousy fly, come out from behind their
defenees and give battle our own ground, where
certain destruction awaits them.
The above is what the Yankees ssid before the
battles of Saturday and Sunday, after which they
changed their tune as follows:
The night attack of the rebels the most brilliant
thing of the On Sunday the fight was desperate
The rebels threw themselves the muzzles Of our
guns ammunition gave out, but the position was
held one hour by the bayOnet, and thea fell back
in order to Charlottesville.
A despatch from United States Ford (near Freder-
icksburg dated May sh Gays that Hooker is much de-
pressed and after consultation hasty return TO
camps decided upon. IL is raining heavily and
the river has risen feet The upper pontoons have
been taken to lengthen the lower ones. Amer several
hours hard work they were passable. At midnight
the troops commenced the retreat the pontoons being
covered with boughs prevent the rebels hearing the
crossing Great numbers Of our wounded are in the
enemy's hands. In Sundays battle dead I'M
buried and the wounded unattended.
The llth corps are denounced as poltroons for
throwing down their arms ans running from Rhodes
(Confederate) brigade.
The New York World says: "Nothing concerning war
matte has been tsegraphed from Washington. We
learn by special messenger that great battle Was
fought Monday, and that Hooker with the remains
of his army driven back acrossthe Rappahannock
despatch to the Cbicago Times states that raid
ing party of Confederates overwhelmed Col Mullgan
Fair Mount Va. The statement Of the Federal loss
is withheld from the public BY the authorizes ~
Washington. ~,
The Washington Chronicle says Lincoln has issned
a draft for 50e,0 900 men. ss -
The Washington Chronicle, of the 9Th, says VAL
landieham has been arrested An attempt nc re-
sistance was made, but failed. tta
The Alabama has destroyed the ship Punjaub.
The Yankees are slow confess their defeat but Il
win come after awhile. IL is about time for them

WHAT THEY sAID.-As usual with the Yankees
upon the eve of great engagement, they COM
menced to felicitate themselves with the idea that
their army had achieved q great success at Fred
ericksburg before the fight began. The New
York Herald Of the I'd inst, claims that Hooker
decided victory at Fredericksburg on
Wednesday, the goth ult., four days before the
fight commenced The victory" however, is
predicated on the fact that Hooker successfully
crossed his army, and without opposition, on the
morning of that day, during dense fog, and that
he also succeeded in capturing two of our
companies on picket duty. The Yankees must be
hard up for decided victory to believe such
tales as are dished up to them.

CoNscR1PTIoN OF FoRElaNERs.-Some two
weeks ago Mr. Clay, of Ala, introduced into the
Confederate Senate bill to conscribe aud place
in the military service all aliens domiciled in the
Confederate States, and after the first day OF
June, 1868. The bill was partly considered in
open session and then transferred to the secret
calendar. On Saturday, the 25th ult., the injunc-
ton of secresy was removed and the measure has
been defeated The danger that an attempt to
conscribe aliens would involve us in difficulties
with foreign nations, is said to have been the
argument that killed the bill.

learn that for thus neglecting their duties, they
were arrested and sent on for the purpose of in
vestigating the NATTER Greensboro Patriot.

FROM EURoPE.-Late European advices indi-
cate an arrangement between the United States
and England, growing out of the issue by Mr.
Adams, the Federal Minister, of permits or
projections to English vessels trading to the
neutral port of Matamoras. Mr. Adams had given
such permit to parties who were about to sail for
chat port with munitions of war to be used by the
Mexcans against the French, and its publication
has ELECTED much indignant comment in the
London papers.
