New YORK. May 5. The correspondent of
the Commercial Advertiser at Washington, dat
ing Monday afternoon, says:
Gen. Hooker sends no bulletins of his sue
cess, but leavesal here, from the President down,
to CLEAN what information they can from the
couriers of the New York Press, who pass
through with information. The Union troops
appear to have been gloriously victorious, and
although many men have fallen, the virtual de-
struction of Lees army will be fatal blow to
the rebellion.
Every one here is in the best spirits and the
long columns of prisoners, who have been
marched along Pennsylvania avenue to day, are
so many proofs of our success.

From Richmond.

RICHMOND, May u The correspondent of
the Richmond Wing gives some additional de-,
tails of the battles around charlottesville and
Fredericksburg. Hooker accomplished the
capture of Maryes Heights, by ruse. On
Saturday night, he sent large force to his;
right, but recalled them during the night, and
threw them rapidly across the river on Pom.
toons. The battle commenced at daylight.
Barksdale's Brigade checked them some time,
with vollcys of muskctry and bayonets, and
dubbed muskcts, but was forced to fall back,
before overwhelming numbers; not, however,
until the ground was piled with dead Yankees.
Our loss was 100. All but two companies of
the 10th Mississippi was captured Col. Grif-
fin, Adjutant Of Stewarts was killed. Major
Campbell is wounded All but seven of the
first company of the Washington Artillery
were taken prisoners The Yankees shouted
no quarter to the rebels. The guns of the
Washington Artillery were not rc-taken. The
most of our casualties in the battle around
Charlottesville are slight. wounds on the
hand and arms Few, comparatively, killed.
The loss of the enemy outnumbers over three
to one. The fields are literally strewn with
the Yankee dead The prisoners captured are
mostly two years and nine months men, whose
term of service will soon expire. They say
they were put in front by Hooker at every
point.
The man body of the enemy having been
driven to to the river, remain bcmmed in by
our army, and are afraid to advance and afraid
to attempt to cross.
