Gen. Hooker Rccrosses the Rappahan-
mock.

II appears from the dispatches published this
morning, that 10 about one week from the time
General HooKFR crossed the Rappahannock
with his army, he recrossed the same stream
and returned to his old camp on its northern
bank.
The week that the Army OF the Potomac
spent on the south side of the Rappahannock
was an eventful one. Two great battles were
fought on Saturday and Sunday, May I'd and 3D.,
at or near Chsncellorvile, place some ten
miles west by south of Fredericksburg, where
General HOOKER had established his hesdquar-
ters and massed q force Of seventy. five or
hundred thousand men.
The slaughter In these two days must have
been great on both sides, as both armies fought
with energy and desperation. TIE fighting was
renewed on Monday, and on Tuesday night,
May 5, our army recrossed the Rappabannock
While the rebel losses must have been heavy,
our own are stated in dispatches at from ten to
fifteen thousand. A single cJrps (SEDewicK's)
is said to have lost five ttousand. But as to
real losses and actual results we must await
further and more authentic accounts. For the
latest dispatches we refer the reader to our
telegraphic column.

The French War in MexicO-The Siege
of Puebla.


The latest French accounts from the city Of
Puebla in Mexico inform rs that between April
6 and April the French troops bad taken Io'-
session Of the Plaza de Armas and the Cathe-
dral, having at the last date rnder their control
one half Of the city. A Mexican dispatch, on
the other hand, coming BY way of San Francisco
from place sixty miles southeast Of Acapulco,
states that during the same period-from April
6 to April 9-,be French troops had suffered
severe defeat, and had been compelled to re-
treIt to Choluls-
French dispatches received at Havana and
dated Apsil IL, state that the French command
er, General FoREY, was entirely satisfied with
the result Of the operations at Puebla, OF the
final Issue Of which he had no doubt. II was
said to be believed at Vera Cruz that the Eng
lish packet which was to leave May 3, would
take out the news of the fall of Pueb'a.
Although these latter reports rest mainly on
hearsay, the New York Tribune has no doubt
that 90 much as concerns the siege of Puebla
will turn out to be substantially correct. Il

The June Convention.

On the llth day Of June the Democratic par.
" hold their State Convention for the nominA.
lion Of State officers. As very much depends
upon the head Of the ticket, the Democracy
should be careful In choosing the Individual
who 10 to assume that responsible position. A
good and pure man should be taken, ono who ID
sound, orthodox and truety. Many such we
have. Another fact should not be lost eightof,
and that is, TO choose man who can make
good canvass, who Is popular with the Demo-
cratic masses, tohom no sentiment entitled 70
,usioht IN our payty can be induced TO oppose. II
is no less duty incumbent upon the Demo-
cratic reople to consult availability, sthan purity
of principle-aud if both combine, our success
is certain In the State. The people OF Ohio
have become tired of Abolitionism, and are
seeking relief from its terrible deepotism. And
the Democratic party is the only means through
which this dreadful Moloch can be dispensed
with. l
Let the Democracy therefore choose ticket
which will be unobjectionable to any and pop
ular with all. Let conflicting opinions be har
monized 60 far as possible; and II any promi'
nent candidate feels that he cannot combine the
whole conservative Democratic people, let him
give way to one who can. Let private prefer.
ences give way to the good of the party and
the country--for ceIt,inly the good OF the Dem
ocratic party is the good of the country
Let unity of action and of purpose mark The
proceedings of the June Convention-let har-
mony exist-let the men least Objectionable
to all classes of our people be selected as can
didates, aud victory will perch upon the Demo-
cratic banner next October, aud Abolitionism
sueak back to it's covert, tyranny be stripped oi
its power, aud free press, free speech, and
freedom from despotio tyranny be again en-
loved by this people. e.-Cleymont Sun.

EplroR ONO STATEsMAS: Sir-I noticed II
the Ohio State Journal few days ago, q letsel
over the signature of N. G. Briggs, of thii
village, in which he (Briggs) denounces thu
Statesman 10 the severest terms, calling 1t
secesh paper, etc., etc., and wound up by say
ing that il the Siatesman was Democratic pa
per he was no Democrat. Great God! Does
N. G. Briggs expect to mako anybody believe
that he is, or ever was a Democrat? II he ex
DC cts to draw the wool over anybody's eyes In
that way, he will find himself sadly mis-
taken. We have known him number oil
years, aud know him to be radical Abolition
let. When read this notorious letter OF the
long cared gentleman, it reminded me OF the
following fable: =.
"a vain ass once found lions skin, into
which he cfept with great self-complacency,
thinking to have great sport OF the expense OF
the people; and for time great sport he had,
for the people all ran from him with great fear.
But when he thought to turn their fear into
horror and dismsy, he opened bis mouth to roar,
and behold, there issued from his shaggy lips
nothing but the bray Of an ass."

We copy the following from the Cincinnati

TRIAL OF VALLAHDIeHAM.-Mr. Vallandlgham
was, this morning, brought before the Military
Commission for trial. The Court is composed
Of General Potter, President; Capt Cutts, Judge
Advocate; and Colonel DeCoursey. Lieutenant
Colonel Goodrich, Major Van Buren, Major
Brown, Major Fitch, and Capt. Ludig.
The charges aud specifications were then
read, which are based on his recent Columbus
and Mt. Vernon speeches. Mr.. Vallandigham
asked a continuance Of the case until he might
prepare written plea. This, he was informed,
would not be granted; and he was asked to plead
guilty or not guilty. He refused to plead either
way, denying tho Jurisdiction of the Court
The Court thereupon entered plea for him OF
not guilty. Messrs. George E. Pugh, George

New Candidate for Governor of Ken
tuckV. .r

New Candidate for Governor of Ken
lucky.
Hon. Joshua F. Bell, Of Danville, Kentucky,
has declined the nomination fer Governor of
that State, rendered him by the Louisville Un-
ion Convention. He Was nominated as far back
"a the 18th of March, and as he has delayed
reply until the present time, he has doubtless
given the subject very mature reflection and
consideration. In bis letter of decension, be
expresses himself 10 favor of vigorous prose-
cution of the war until the rebellion ceases, but
IL opuosed to all forms Of slavery emancipation
-even the compensated form recommended orig
iuslIy by President Lincoln. On the recep-
tion Of the letter, the State Central Committee,
consisting of George D. Prentice, Esq James
Guthrie, and others, proceeded to nominate Hon.
Thomas e. Bramlette, of Adajr county, for
Governor, and he Immediately notified them Of
his acceptance. The new nominee enjoys In
high degree the confidence Of the authorities OF
Washington As candidate therefor, he will
be less acceptable than his predecessor to the
people Of the State, with great majority Of
whom the National Administration Ia decidedly
unpopular. -aE
At an early period OF the war, Mr. Brsmlette
was In the volunteer service, as Colonel of the
Third Kentucky Infantry, but subsequently re-
signed his commission 10 accept the office OF
United States District Attorney, position he
stil holds. A few days ago, he wac appointed
by the President BfigadeF General, with au-
thority to raise militia force, which was TO be
similar, we believe, to our M. 8. M. organiza-
tlon in missouri. His apparent Identification
with the Administration will hasten the nomi-
nation Of candidate by his opponents. Joshsa
F. Bullitt, Esq, of Jefferson, and ]. H. Harney,
editor of the Louisville Democrat, have been
solicited to run. The latter is understood to
have no wish to make the canvass, and prefers
