Especial Correspondence Chicago Tribune.l
WAsHssroS, Monday, May top. N,
Unless, before this can reach you by mail,
you receive dispatches announcing the final
success Of Hooker's operations, you are not
likely to get any news whatever Of the move
ment, save what the mail affords.
The Government las positively forbidden
the transmission of line about tho battle by
telegraph, whether good OF bad. Yon cannot
even Telegraph to IN inquiring mother that
her son is safe, or that lie is killed. Hooker
sends no reports here, and the Government
tries to prevent any from going out from
here.
To give them Justice, 1t must be added that
they have at last stopped the shameless out
rage of permitting the Washington papers to
publish what Northern papers we're refused
to eend l,y telegraph. For the first time in
the war, Washington papers are compelled to
remain absolutely barren Of news.
EewYork papers, however, arc smuggling
their correspondents up from the army, and
sending them through direct to New York,
with ACCOUNTS which are published isnmedi-
graphed West to the afternoon papers, from
New York; though not word Of 1t can be
sent from here,
The news, up to this honr, may be summed
up thus:
The serious fighting began on the right
near Charlottesville, on Saturday. There
Was heavy skir,uishing all day, but about four
In tue afternoon two rebel Corps made sud
den onset on the portion Of our front held by
Towards Division, putting it 10 rout almost
Immediately. Hooker reformed the lines and
the ground was contested obstinately, but on
tho whole, the action may be set down as
somewhat in the nature Of q reverse to us It
continued till eight at night, some accounts
say even later still.
Sunday morning the action WAS renewed at
Charlottesville, the rebels violently attack
ing our extreme right, at or before daylight.
1t ragged all day, with results on the whole
favorable to us, but not decisive oftle final
result.
Meantime at daybreak our other two Corps
took Fredericksburg with little or no opposf-
tion, and almost Immediately: charged on the
Notifications beyond, using nothing but the
bayonet. These Notifications were held by
rebel force only strong enough to man the
guns. They kept up q destructive tlro till
our men were almost inside the intrench-
ments. We however carried the works with
4 whirl, and instantly dcployed ont into tho
plains beyond, but without meeting any seri'
ous force. Tho rebels had partially distnan-
tied their works by taking the guns to use in
their attack On Hooker ut Charlottesville.
| So matters stood last night, as nearly az
| facts can be silted from the myriad rumors
that every hour eonyulsc the Capital. To-day
| it is understood that the fight began again al
All carly hour; and the latest arrivals say thai
this must prove decisive day. Rebel pris
oncrs say TINT EGen. Early was to move thi
morning, against our force in the entrench
ments at Fredericksburg, and, if possible
drive us ont again. On our side We have in
Vulnerable stories Of Generals aud other Off
GERS Killed; but none arc Us yet well cnougl
established to be worth repeating. The feel
irg here is confident, but not buoyant. Th
President is believed to have gone down thi
morning.
LATER.-I hare Just learned on authority
think good, TINT IN Intercepted dispatch frou
Lee, to Richmond, is just received, sayin
Tint he has but 81 GOO men, and that if he Is 10
reinforced speedily, he must surrender. Th
| President is jubllant, and is praising Hookc
extrayagantly; and Stanton said within ha
au hour, that Hooker Is the great man Of th
age. Prisoners are arriving Ill the time
Tic reeling has been getting better all aftc
! n~tn.
