day, leaving nothing but the artillery and in
fantry to cross on Tuesday. The fierce storm
Of that day probably saved the bulk Of our
army, which was passed over at night.
b. General Hooker's statement Of his losses
reads as If it was made by General Wads-
worth. He says his total loss in killed,
wounded and missing will not be more than
ten thousand men. If this be true, there are
several circumstances that need explaining
badly. General Sedgwick alone, ell the ac-
counts agree, lost one-third Of his force, or a.
bout six thousand men. But call il Eve thou
sand. The, capture Of fredericksburg, and
the storming Of the heights in its rear on Sun
day, lost US eight hundred men in killed and
wounded. This would leave but little over
four thousand 70 have been killed wounded
and captured in the tremendous battles Of Sa-'
turday and Sunday, when at least one hum;
dred and fifty thousand men met in deadly
conflict. If Hooker and Lee commanded Chi
nese armies this might have been possible,
but as they were Americans on both sides it.
is simply incredible. The rout Of the 1lth
corps, and the driving back Of our whole lines
for two days in succession, must have cost US
we will not say how many men, but GER
tainiy more than four thousand. Judged by
the other battles of the war, this fight ought
to have put twenty-five thousand men Aors du
conabat. General Hooker may be right in his
estimate, buff he is, the fighting on both
sides was disgracefnl.

The whole management Of the campaign
shows "a painful lack both Of capacity and
true courage, Of mental force and high sense
of honor. Our rulers are alike incapable and

Cen. Jones' Expedition to the
y Northwest.

| Mention has already been made Of the
| movements Of the forces Of Brigadier-G General
Jones, in command of our cavalry in the Val
ley, Of Virginia The command left Harrison
souburg on the 2lst Of April, and proceeded
to Greenland, in Hardy county, where they
effected the capture Of about ninety Yankees.
AT this peint the command was divided, Col.
A. w. Hartman, with the 18th Virginia regi-
ment and the Maryland battalion, moving in
the direction Of Oakland, on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. and Gen. Jones to Cheat river
tunnel and Rowlesburg, where he inflicted
some injury upon the road, but did not sue
coed in destroying the immense trestle work
on Cheat river. At Oakland Colonel Hartman
surprised and captured some sixty Yankees,
and destroyed q railroad bridge at that point.
From Oakland he went to Cranberry Summit.
where he burned the Cheat river bridge, and
then proceeded on to Morgantown,in Mononga-
liza county. From Morgantown Col Hartman
moved up to Fairmcnt, where q junction was
formed with the portion Of the expedition un-
der Gen Jones. At the latter point they cap
tured four hundred out of six hundred Of the
enemy, two hundred escaping. The fine sus-
pension bridge across the Monongahela, at
Fiirmont, was destroyed They also captur-
ed seme 500 fine horses, and as many good
beef cattle, and q large supply Of goods Of
every description.
In noticing this expedition, q correspon.
dent Of the New York Herald, in recent
number of that paper, says:
Z The rebels who had taken possession of
,Clarksburg on Monday were reinforced on
Monday night, and yesterday morning com
nrenced moving Dorthward. They crossed
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Manning
ton, fifty miles east of Wheeling and burned
Morgantown. near the Pennsylvania State
line. From thence they marched into Fay
cite county, Pennsylvania, where they were
understood to have been last evening. Their
force was stated at ten thousand troops; but
this is probably an exaggeration, unless they
contemplate moving direct on Pittsburg, which
is not impossible.
The utmost excitement prevails at Wheel
ing and Pittsburg, and also Mt Parkersburg,
the people at each place fearing an attack
from the enemy, whose strength is, as usual,
greatly magnifed. There is some ground fer
the theory, also, that all of the movements
east Of Grafton were feints. calculated to
draw all Of our troops to points east Of that
place, while they are throwing heavy body
of troops towards Pittsburg.
The military authorities have authorized
the statement to be made that the rebel troops
who are marching in or towards Pennsylva-
MIA are in trap. and that the military ar
rangements have been SO perfected that their
capture is deemed certain. Your readers will
laugh at that. as they ought to. The rebels
never run into traps. When they have 90
eomplished the object for which they invaded
Pennsylvania, they will retire in safety to
Virginia. i make this statement because /
know the facts in relation to it. Let everts
decide who is the best informed.

WHAT INVENTIONS HAVE DoNE.-The New York
Tribune, in presenting from Hunts Magazine a
series of tables showing the increase of property
in this country from 1900 to 1863, says: There
has been an accumulation of very nearly SlG,-
000 000, ,000 with an increase of income from
$50, 900 600 to nearly S2000,000,00O. In fact, it
appears that three-fourths of this accumulation
aud Increase of income have been made during
the last twenty years 1t is evident, therefore
that the power of production has received an
immense impulse in the present century, in great
part owing to the application Of steam to trans
portatiou (which has virtually multiplied capital
by causing It's more rapid conversion,) and the
invention Of labor-saving machines, with Which,
as the cotton gin, for instance, one hand can now
do the same work that required 400 hands form
