Hooker, who appssrs to have been thoroughly
e0utCuaded end bBwiidsrod by Lee, seems q.
least to have abandoned th3 hops Of looking
into the valley, and has crossed the Potomac.
We suppose his cavalry win attend his mov5-

party from Gen. StahPs brigade esnped at New
BAldmors, visited the Wsrrens9a Springs, on
the Rappahaunock, six miles this Side Of War
