The Washington correspondent of the Anti.
Slavery Standard, says:-''A storm is brewing
in the upper air against Mr.. Seward. There
are good many evidences of it, but it is quite
doubtful in my mind whether Mr.. Seward will
not turn upon his enemies and STAY them. In
other Words it is quite probable that Seward
ism rather than ti-Sewardism will be trium-
plant in the end. .

LATEST FROM THE BAPPAHAN-
MOCK.

We have authentic intelligence that Gen.
Hooker has sustained reverse ia battle
fought on Tuesday, but has succeeded in plac-
ing his army in safety on this side the Rap.
pahannock. Gen. Lee having been heavily
re-eniorced, appears TO have found himself in
sufficient strength to renew his assault on
Hookers exhausted troops. and was 30 far
successful that it has been deemed prudent to
withdraw the army across the river. 1t i,
only too evident that here, as 80 often before,
the Rebels succeeded in concentrating their
forces upon the point of attack, while
those which should have strengthened the
National Army were too far distant
or too long withheld to enable Gen. Hooker to
maintain the position which he had gained by
mastery strategy, and held through two
tremendous battles. 1t must be presumed that
the effort to break Lees communications with
Richmond failed. He was able, therefore, to
bring up the whole Rebel force from Rich.
mond and points below, and Gen. Hooker il
compelled to retire from before overwhelming
numbers.
Our correspondent, who left Gen. Hooker's
headquarters yesterday, will arrive this morn
ing at an early hour, with full details, which
We shall Immediately publish in an extra.

CENSORSHIP OF THE TELEGRAPH

Several Of our contemporaries are censuring
the Administration for prohibiting the trans
mission by telegraph Of advices from the con-
tending armies on the Rappabannock. We
understand that this suppression is in accord
ance with Gen. Hooker's wishes and plans. He
entered upon his pending movement at his own
time and in his own way, and hs desires to
prosecute and finish it accordingly. But il
every casual mishap and loss is to be tele-
graphed forthwith all over the country, 1t will
be known in Richmond in few hours, and at
Lees headquarters directly afterward. It is
certainly preferable that the pon-6ehting public
should be kept o day or two in suspense rather
than the Rebels should be unssasonaby apprised
Of the full effect Of every charge they make,
and ma'e promptly aware Of each important
loss We may sustain.
