General HOOker's RenOEade Movement.
C. C. Coffin, Esq, ("CarletOn y army
correspondent Of the Boston Journal,
whose truthfulness and accuracy of judg-
ment are proverbial, writes to the Journal
as follows:
HTo rightly understand General Hook
er's position when he determined, in the
deluge Of Tuesday evening, to return,
there is another consideration besides the
fear that communication would be cut off
by high freshets-the disarrangement Of
plans caused by the detection of the elev-
enth corps-the non receipt Of news from
Stoneman, and the failure of Sedgwick to
open communication from fredericksburg.
Besides all these reasons for retiring, Gen
eral Hooker felt, doubtless, that he was re-
garded by the people as a rash, ~fool-hardy
man, whose lack of caution had sacrificed
his men. And here let me narrate an in
cident which should be known, in justice
to General Hooker, as it shows that he
must have felt it an imperative duty to be
prudent and cautious.
"When it had been determined to super
cede General Burnside, and to place the
/ army OIL Inc IOlUuhI uuuDL GOMuAhuu VI
General Hooker, the last named officer was
summoned to Washington by the Presi-
dent. Arriving at the White House, the
| General was shown up into the Cabinet
room at once, and was warmly greeted by
Mr.. Lincoln, who said, after %salutations
had been exchanged: Il am just writing
you q letter, containing my views on the
management Of your army, and will read
it to YOU The President accordingly read
his missive, which only lacked his sigma
ture, and then, at General Hooker's re-
| quest he added that, and gave the letter to
| the General. Some of these days that let
ter will be valuable to the historian of the
war, and when / assert that his conclud-
ing words were don't be rash-don't be
RASH it will be seen thatthe General must
have felt it imperative on him to be eau
tious. AfterWard, when Mr.. Lincoln came
here on q visit, he remarked: 'Tbey told
me in Washington to hurry up General
Hooker; but when he once gets started,
/ there will be more necessity for treading
on the tail Of his coat to keep him from
moving too rashly." The General has fall
sifed this prediction, surely.
A fast steamer recently captured while
attempting to run the blockade, has been
reftted at Philadelphia for u navy. AZ
ter her condemnation in the prize court
the navy department purchased her, and
has had her converted into a first class
gunboat. She made, under steam alone,
before her capture, sixteen miles IN hour,
and hopes are entertained in the navy
that she soon will be sent after the AL

1t is really astonishing to behold how
many of the Democrats are troubled
about the condition Of Valandigham.
This man violated Gen. Burnside's order
in regard to expressing hostility to the
Union and sympathy for the rebels.
There was enough proven upon his rial
to show plainly that his whole soul and
interest was in the cause of the rebels,
and that at heart he was as mean a
traitor as any country could have, and
that nothing really saved him from the
gallows, by judgement Of the civil law,
but the commission of sore overt act
of treason. That he was opposed to
the government none but the most
rabid scccssionists and their northern
lick spittle sympathisers will deny.
WHY then manifest such an interest in
his case ? Who that is loy.l can do it:
What loyal raan agree in sentiment
and feeling with a seccssionists? An
impossibility He who sympath'ses
with yalandigham, has his own gar

Mark the man whose heart e rvs out in
fellow feelings wonderous kind for that
arch traitor, and you mark man who
is rot loyal to his government, and he
should be promptly told so. Make no
failure in treating him rs he deserves.
Call him traitor, for such he is, and
treat him with that continuity that all
