FROM HOOKER'S ARMY.
The Advance CT Hooker's Army.
Gen. Sedgewick Leads the Pursuit.
Heintzelman's Army also in Motion.


NEw YoRk, May IL The steamer
John A. Warner arrived at Washington
on Saturday night with dispatches from
Hooker.
She left Aequia Creek ON Saturday
morning. The following is reported 10
be the substance of these dispatches: 4
At daybreak Friday morning Hooker
pushed forward two corps of his army
across the Rappahaunock. -.-
They were under command of General
Sedgewick. They gathered up the
wounded who were left on the field of
the recent battles, comprising both Union
and rebel soldiers, and buried the dead.
AT an early hour this morning Hooker
completed the crossing of his entire
army together with an ample supply of
ammunition and stores sufficient to last
eight days.
AS soon as he was across the whole
seven corps were placed in motion and
deployed right and left in search of the
enemy, who, at the latest accounts, had
not been found in forcs.
Owing to the terrible condition of the
roads, the movements of the army must
necessarily be slow for a day or two, but
the coming week will probably witness
Gen. Hooker does not desire REIN
forcements.
1t is believed Heintzelman. has gone
to reinforce Hooker; but there is no
doubt but that his army is in motion.

LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival of the Steamer Bohemian.

CARE RACE, May 1.-THE Bohemian

Diary May lst, was boarded this morning.
Her advices are FIVE days later.
MIR. Adams had made Il frank explana-
ton concerning his letter of protection
to Mexican vessels. ''-- r.
No diplomatic protest was necessary,
but it is stated that France takes offence
and asks an explanation.
Polish affairs are unchanged.
LONDON, May 1.-The Times city arti-
Gle says Notwithstanding additional re-
ports from New York of violent instruc-
tons being sent out by Seward to
Adams, it is believed that nothing of the
kind is intended to be presented by our
Government.
The reports were probably encouraged
solely with the view TO mitigate the diff
culties of the approaching CONSUMPTION
With the present feeling of the British
public, which recently found expression
in Parliament, it would be highly dan
gerous for the Washington Government
to place matters in such a position as
might render continued exercise of
forbearanee impossible on the part of the
British Government.
The Ministers announced that the
Peterhotf mail would ,be forwarded to
their destination unopened, aud that the
same course would be pursed in similar
cases.

New York, May 1.-THE Washing
Press, under date of May 10th, says:
Persons have arrived from the army
of the Potomac, leaving there on Satur-
day evening, who state that the army
was in the best of spirits, with every
thing in readiness to rt-cross the river
Some corps crossed last evening, having
obtained permission of the President to
re-cross the Rappahannock after dem
onstrating the importance of the move
ment by Gen. Hooker, and requesting
tina his communication might be prop
erlY guarded in his rear. The promise
to attend to this was given him, as well
as the positive promise that additional
means of forwarding ammunition and sup
plies should be furnished, and that Gen.
Sigel should again lead his troops.
During Wednesday and Thursday
General Hooker detailed several regi-
ments to gather up the wounded and
bury the dead on the South side of the
river. The number of rebels found was
very large, and it is believed no effort
was made by the enemy to bury his brave
dead slaughtered by our artillery during
the five days battle at Charlottesville.
Fortunately the weather was cool and
the rain served as a balm to ease the
wounded from some of their sufferings.
The fact that the enemy had left, thus
suddenly confirmed Gen. Hooker in the
belief that the rebels had been very much
cut up, and that they contemplated
retreat il that course was found practi-
BILE. Accordingly, on Thursday, p. M,
before the rain had ceased falling, Gen.
Hooker ordered across the river the lst
and 9th corps, under the Gen. Sedgwick.
Owing to the the horrible condition of
the roads but little progress was made,
and Gen. Hooker, on Friday, directed
his attention to the crossing of the whole
army at Banks and L. S. Fords. Du-
ring the day, the positions of each corps
was designated, and Gen. Hooker was
busy in giving instructions to his various
Genesals concerning his proposed pur-
suit of Lees army. The question,
where have the rebels gone" is going
around unanswered in the hotels to-day.
1t is the opinion of military men that
they have fallen back in two columns
one toward Richmond and and one to-
ward Gordonsville, in hope Of conceutra-
ting with Longstreet's forces in front Of
Richmond, once more to give us battle.
The next engagement will take place
most probably, on or near the Upper
Pamunky River, whittier Gen. Hooker is
moving as rapidly as possible
Many mention that the James River
is the next line that the rebels will de-
fend.
This may or may not be secure, as
Generals Peck, Keys and Negley may
decide.
There is report here to-day that our
army is in motion south, and that skirm-
ishing with the rear guard of the enemy
! had commenced.
1t is reported here that Fredericks-
burg and the heights of ST. Mary,s were
occupied by our troops to-day; that the
Richmond aad Potomac Railroad south
of Fredericksburg will be put in order
again as soon as it will be safe to work
upon it. --
Trrops are arriving here and it is ru-
mored that another army will advance
south to support Hooker in day or two

Death of James Madison Cults.
The Great Loss by Stonemen's Raid
Rebel Wounded Suffering for Food.

WASHINGTON, May Thames Madi-
son Cults, Second Comptroller of the
Treasury, died this morning.
The Richmond Examiner of the It'll
says the destruction of large trains of
Government wagons at Aylett's Station
and stores of grain at that place is the
most serious loss we have suffered from
the Federal raid .ar .4
The Government was deriving large
supplies from that section, and unfortu-
nately, within the last week, largely in
creased increased its wagon trains
Another orticle says, in consequence
OF active operations in the field and linn
tied transportation, the wounded on the
field and at Guinea's Depot are suffering
for food.

Halleck TO Take the Field
Great Confidence in Hooker

New YORK, May 1.-THE Post says:
We learn by special advices from
Washington that Gen. Halleck is about
to take the field in person, not, it is un.
derstood, with the purpose of relieving
Gen. Hooker from his command, but
that he may be in the very presence OF
transpiring events, and may be better
able to influence them.
The authority upon which we have
this Information is usually we'll informed.
1t is a significant fact and one which will
increase the confidence of the country
in Hooker, that he did not execute his
late retrogade movement until be had
planned his present forward one, and
had become satisfied of it's superiority to
any effort he could make at Chancel-
louisville, counteracted as it had been, by
the unfortunate detection of the 18th
corps at the commencement of the strug-
gle.
