Boston, May l0,-3 A. M. The Herald Ex-
ira is out, and contains the following SPECIAL
dispatch:
New YORK, May 10. Our private advices
from Washington and Fortress Monroe render
1t highly probable, nay, almost certain, that
Richmond Is now IN possession Of the Union az
N.Y. We know that pending the operations
on the Rappahannock. all the troops at Suffolk.
Norfolk and Fortress Monroe were nut aboard
OF transports to be conveyed up the York Riv-
er to West Point, where Gen. Stoneman was
waiting with his cavalry ready for march on
Richmond
The understanding on the 18th at Fortress
Monroe was that if Stoneman succeeded in cut
ting the rebel communications the light trans
ports were to sail and a bold attempt to capture
the capitol of the rebel government News
came on the 9th that Gen. Stoneman had sue
ceeded, whereupon the troops were sent up
the York River as designed
At last accounts every thing was 10 our ia
vor. To crush Hooker Richmond has been
stripped of guns and troops aud even our caval-
ry could have taken it, had 500 men made a.
BOLD dash upon the city. Although they were
within two miles of the corporation limits of
the city they returned again, under orders. -
From the detenceless condition in which thew
found Richmond, it was clear that there was no
reason why our army should not capture it. At
last accounts they were marching on, and we
f1rmly believe it is to-day in possession of our
troops. As yet, of course, Government has no
othclal notification of the taking of Richmond.
and hence the silence Of the wires from Wash
ington.
~ A battle may be fought before the place is ia
ken, but the rebels can muster no such force as
will be brought against them. Between Keyes
anq Dix forces and the aIeinforcements from
Washington at,least 10000 men are engaged in
this great movement The recent visits Of Sec.
Seward and Gen. Halleck to Fortress Monroe
and Suffolk are now explained. 20. 4.

BosToN, May IL. The Journal edtorially
says the story that Gen. Reyes. entered Rich
mond, underwent all sorts of versions, until at
last it was reported that the rebel Gen. Lee
bad submitted terms of surrender.
1t might he sufficient to say that all this is too
good to be true, but IN fact, there is no tounda-
ten for it that we are aware.
The rumor was probably born of the convic-
ton that there was few days ago an opportu-
nifty for the achievement in question had it been
known in season, but, as it is, Richmond re-
mains to be taken.
Another ramon that our army has again
crossed, or is crossing the Rappahannock is bet
ter founded, and is In all probability true.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2 Il The Bulletin of this
city has the following highly important news :
We learn from the editors of the Philadel.
phia Inquirer, that one of their correspond, nts
who has just returned from Washington informs
them that Gen. Hooker re-crossed the Kappa
hammock in force yesterday, the men carrying 8
days "a tons with them. nG
We also learn from another source that is
vouched for as reliable, that Gen. Reyes has ia
ken Richmond, having advanced upon it VIA
Yorktown, and that the federal flag DOW floats
over the rebel capital sII III ~ 151 IGal
IF this intelligence is true it proves that Gen,
Hooker's falling back is ruse, and that the
real advance upon Richmond was to be made
while Lees army was on the Rappahannock.
If SLOVENIAN has cut off the Communication
of Lee, as is reported, it will be a work of time
for Lee to reach the rebel capitol, and in the
meantime Hooker Is upon his heels
We have confirmation from a perfectly rela-
BILE source that Gen. Hooker has recrossed the
Rappahannock. 9a.t...,. ........
Gold has been falling rapidly to-day, and this
fact has probably resulted from the important
movements reported above.
