NEW YORK, May 9. .
A Washington special states that the
President and General Halleck receiv-
ed intelligence that Hooker re-crossed the
Rappahannock river at three o'clock yes
terday.
They Immediately proceeded to his head
quarters, where they spent the night and
most of the day, and returned here late
this afternoon.
The report which found its way into
print that 40 600 men from Heint7lemsn's
department were sent to reinforce Hooker
is untrue. Not a single man was sent.
The most reliable authority estimates
our loss in killed, wounded and missing at
$1,000.
General Averill has been relieved of his
command for not keeping open commune
cation with Stoneman, and following up
orders for his part of the cavalry expedi-
ton. Averilps friends are confident that
he did nothing that cannot be fully justi-
fed.
The report that a large amount of field
artillery was lost in Hooker's retreat is un-
true. It is believed that our forces brought
away more than they crossed with.
Hooker had nearly re-crossed the Rap
pahannock before he heard Of the success
of Stoneman's expedition in the rebel pa
pers.
There are but few of the wounded ar
irving The cause and delay is unknown.
The President told member of his Cab
net this afternoon, since his return from
Falmouth, that he found Hooker's army in
much better condition than he anticipated,
and he believed that the moment the wealth
er cleared off it could again make a for
ward movement if it should be so decided.
Among the improbable rumors brought
by the boat this afternoon was one that
the enemy commenced shelling Falmouth
to-day, and another that Hooker had COM
menced to cross again.
