GEN. HOOKER TO HIS AREIY.

A dispatch from Headquarters Army Of
the Potomac dated the 11th contains the
following order, issued By Gen. Hooker:
Headcuarters Army Potomac, May, 9Th.
General3 Order No. 49.-The Major
General Commanding tenders to his army
his congratulations on the achievements Of
the last seven days. If it bas not accom-
plished all that was expected. the reasons
are we'll known to the army. 1t is sufi-
cient to say they were ofa character not to
be foreseen or prevented by human sagac-
ity or resources.
In Withdrawing from the south bank Of
the Rappahannock before delivering gen
eral battle to cur adversary, the army has
given renewed evidence Of its confidence in
itself aud its fidelity to the principle it rep
resents. In fighting at disadvantage We
would have been recreant 10 our trust, to
ourselves, our cause and our country =
Profoundly loyal and cunscions of its
strength, the army of the Potomac will
give or decline battle whenever Its inter-
ests or honor may demand. II will also
be the guardian Of its own history and its
own arm.
By our celebrity and secrecy ofmovement
our advance and passage of the river was
undisputed, and on our withdrawal not a
rebel ventured to follow.
The events of the past week may swell
with pride the hearts of every officer and
soldier of this army. We have added new
laurals to former renown. We have made
long marches, crossed rivers. surprised the
enemy in his entrenchmen.s, and wheney-
er we have fought We have inflicted heav-
ier blows than we have received. We.
have taken from the enemy five thousand
prisoners, and fifteen colors captured, and
brought off seven pieces of artillery, and
hors ducombat eighteen thousand Of his
chosen troops. We have destroyed his
depots filed with vast amounts of stores,
damaged his communications, captured
prisoners within the Notifications Of his
Capital, and filled his country with fear
and CONSERVATION. We have no other re-
gret than taat caused by the loss Of onr
brave comrades, and in this We are consoied
by the conviction that they have fallen in
the hottest cause ever submitted to the ar
bitrament of battles.
By command of
Maj Gen. HooKER.

are numerous and industrious.
Women are the most efficient creatures
on earth, whatever they do. II they are

struction or capture of the rebel priva-

There are no new movements Of the ar
my Of the Potomac, nor has there been
since they recrossed to the north side Of the
Rappahannock, May 9Th. The troops are
represented in good fighting condition and
spirits, slightly disa appoin,ed at the retreat
but not at all demoralized.
The rebels are left minus Of two Cen

Dorm and Lieut. Gen. Thomas j. jack

May 9th, by an enraged husband whose
wife Van Dorn had seduced. jackson,
known as "Stonwall" was one Of their
most dashing and successful leaders. He
was shot in the arm and hand at the battle
of Charlottesville on the Sd inst by two
of his own men. Amputaticn of the arm
became necessary when pneumonia set in,
and the great rebel chief went to hell, at
the age Of 81 years.
Vallandigham has had his trial and is
sentenced to 60 South among his brother
rebs.
One hundred and sixty Rebel prison

To TnE MIssoURI.-We lately visited
the leading city, the "Great Western
Bend" town and "St. joe"
Leavenworth is doing large trade and
is advancing in improvement and wealth
rapidly. Several business houses (and
one in particular belonging to Gov. Car
ney) are going up which would do credi,
to St. Louis or Chicago. Her business
men too are mostly liberal and ac: i've, and
while they pocket their quick returns do
not entirely overlook the interests of the
country around them. Leavenworth has
already secured the larger share of the
southern Kansas trade. ga
In the way of building, Atchison is do.
ing but little this Summer. We noticed
one iron-front substantial looking building
being erected on Commercial street.
Overland freighters are being supplied to
some extent by the merchants, and retail
trade and business in all the established
callings seemed to be brisk.
Like a man with the measles or small
pox, the business Of Saint Joseph shows
itself in spots. There are many apparent

scattered through the city which give to

How colored Soldiers are to be Treated.

The following letter from Gov. Andrew of
Massachusetts is in reply to questions addressed
him BY Mr. Downing, concerning the position of
coiored troops in respect TO pay, equipments,
bounty and protection, compared With that Of
white volunteers:
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS,
~7~-~ Exeeutue Department.
Boston, March %, 1868.
GeorgeT. Downing, Esq, New York:
DEAR Sir: In reply to your inquiries made as
to the position of colored men who may be en-.
listed and mustered into the volunteer service
of the United States, Iwoud say that their po-
sition, in respect TO pay, equipments, bounty. or
any aid and protection, when SO mustered, viii
be precisely the same, in every particular, as
that Of any and all other volunteers.
desire further to state to you, that when
was in Washington, ononc occasion, in inter-
view with Mr. Stanton, the Secretary of War,
he stated in the most emphatic manner that he
would never consent that free colored men
should be accepted into the service to serve as
soldiers in the South, until he should be assur-
ed that the Government of the United States
was prepared to guarantee and defend, to the
last dollar and the last man. 10 these men all the
rights, privileges. and immuaites that are Civ
en- by the laws Of civilized warfare to other sol
dicrs. Their present acceptance and muster in, &,
as soldiers, pledges the honor of the nation in
the same degree, and to the same rights with all
other troops. They will be soldiers of the I'm
ion-nothing less and nothing different be-
lieve they will earn for themselves an honorable
fame, vindi eating their race and redeemin g
their future from the aspersions of the past
am yours truly Jouy A. ANDREW.
