Yankee Raids.

The preparations Of the people OF W ythe
against future Yankee raids are deserving
Of imitation by all other counties of the State:
Thorough organization, providing tor sig
nails Of the approach Of the enemy, for pla
cling distractions in their way aud concert
Of plan and action, are absolutely necessary.
In those cases where it isimpossible TO pre-.
pare Instructions against the advance Of an
enemy, it must be easy at least to embarrass
and obstruct their retreat; to block up and
barricade the roads by which they come, so
that at any rate it will not be easy to get
back. Our military men would do we'll to
suggest to the people the most PRACTICABLE
means Of obstructing the roads, aud for the
rest we may trust to their natural valor and
craftsmanship.
This is an important subject. demanding
the prompt attention of both the Govern
ment and people Dispatch.

Gen. Hookers Potomac Army is across the
Rappah innock in good order, and is accomplishing
great results. The citizens are reported as Beeing
panic stricken from Fredericksburg, in anticipation
of the shelling of the town by the Unionists Gen.
Hooker, after three days operations, issued con-
gratulatory order, which read to his troops and
he ausPicious opening OF the campaign electrified
them. The following is the order:
HE4DQuARTERs ARMY OF The PoroMAc,(
NEAR FALMOUTH, April 30th, 1863 :
GENERAL ORDER NO AL
1t Is with heartfelt satisfaction that the Command
ing General announces 10 the army that the opera
tions last three DAYS have e,ermiped ibat
eremy must either ingloriously surrender or come
out from behind his deenscs and give us battle on
onr own ground, where certain destruction awaits
hIn The operations of the 5Ih, llth, and 18th corps
nave been succession of splendid achiev emeuts
BY COMMAND OF MAJ. GEN. HooKgR
A. WILLIAMS, Acting Adjutant General.
Subsequentto this the Federal occupation of Fred
erickslurg reported 1t is asserted that Hookers
strategetic movements have taken the rebel army
entirely by surprise
Banks and his army seem to be making progress in
Louisiana.
W., stern Virginia does not yet seem to be cIea-
the rebel raid.
Dispatches from Gen. Hooker have been receive
by the President He has successfully crossed the
Rappahannock, and has severed be communications
OF the enemy between Bowling Green and Hanover
Court House. The main body cf Hooker's army
crossed just below FSlnouth About 0,OGO crossed
above Falmouth, under Gen. SIocum, who made 8
detour of the enemy's position and captured some
l.5O0 rebels.
1t is said that our communications with Genera
stoneman have been cut off by guerilla bands be
tween Warrenton Junction and Bull Run, but will
soon be reinstated.
Gen. Hooker hopes TO capture all of the rebel fore
es North of the Pamunkey river, and will probabl,
move forward 10 the left of his present position.
The news thus far is most encouraging.
The N. Y Times has very full reports from three c
its army correspondents, who arrived from the 6e
of the great battles of Saturday and Sunday-ih
hottest and most saDgune of the war. The IIth arm
corps, undsr Gen. Howard, behaved badly, and 10
an important part of our position. The battle di
not close until near midnight ring the night Gen
Hooker changed his lines, reformed his army, anC
was ready for bait next day. The fight began at
O'Clock, and lasted hours; at the end of that time
General Hooker held strong po .fton and felt per
fecty safe. His right rested on the Rapidan at El
Ford, and his left on the Rappahannoek. The losse
have been very heavy both sides.
The result thus far is not decisive is believe
lhe rebels only save themselves by retreating

war news Of tn, vech.

Early last week the rebels made a dash in
to Western Virginia, cansing for time no
little excitement, which extended to Wheel-
ing, and likewise to Pittsburg. There was a
prompt rallying of militia at Wheeling, and
also at Pittsburg--.the Pittsburg militia were
subsequently discharged by order of Gov
Curtin, their services not being needed--the
dash into Western Virginia proves to be
raid rather than an invasion. The object of
the rebels seemed to be plunder--and in this
they were to some extent successful Large
numbers Of horses and mules were driven of,
and other depredations committed. Business
on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail Road was in.
terupted, and one bridge DESTROYED, IL miles
from Oakland. The bridge is already restor-
ed, and business resumed on the road
Five of the Monitors were, reported at
North Edisto, four at Port Royal, and the
Ironsides still remains off Charleston. The
Monitors have been filed with shell, and in
every department the utmost activity pre-
walls,
The Washington Star reports that there
has been battle at Cheat Mountain, Virgin
ia, in which the rebels were badly beaten and
driven back
Further advices from Port Royal report
that Charleston was to be again attacked on
the Sd of May, when the Spring tides occur.
All the Monitors except the Weehawken
had left Port Royal.
The health of the troops is suffering from
warm weather.
Rebel deserters report that new Instructions
have been placed in Charleston harbor, which
would not allow the smallest craft to pass
through.
BY way of Memphis news comes that Tus-
Gambia has been taken from the rebels-that
Gen. Dodge is now in possession, and the
rebel communication by that route cut off.
In regard to Gen. Hookers movements, We
have this information, up to Saturday night
last: On Thursday morning, the Both ult.,
there were three corps across the Rapadian,
marching straight on the rear of Fredericks-
burg Various speculations are afoat, such
as this, that Gen. Lee may have already evac-
uated Fredericksburg, and fallen back on
Richmond If this is not done. SO much the
worse for Lee. for he has no alternative but
to march out of Fredericksburg. or to fight
with the certainty that his whole army, if
defeated, would be destroyed or captured
Stoneman, with his cavalry corps, is in the
rear of any position to which Lee can posi-
bly, have fallen back, and we shall prob
ably next hear that both the Virginia Central
and Richmond & fredericksburg roads are
cut. in that case Lee must fight with what
forces he already has, for no reinforcements
can reach him before Hooker falls upon his
isolated force. We regard great battle as
not merely imminent, but inevitable - per-
haps already fought
This brings the news down to Saturday
night. Before getting to press, we shall
doubtless have very important, if not start
ling news to chronicle.

Secretary Stanton has withdrawn the ad-
vertising of the War Department from the
National Intelligencer 1t is amazing to see
any Federal patronage bestowed on that Reb-
Ell sympathizing, Government censuring

Played-out politicians often resort to agri-
culture to soothe their mortified souls. Jas.
Buchanan is now buying land in Chester coun-
ty, Penn, and is going extensively into the
cultivation of fax. tt is a natural presunp-
ton that he means to make ropes to hang the
rascals that nominated him for the Presiden-
cy, and whom he now regards as the authors
of all his woes. But for them he might have
died in peace, and been honored in memory
after fashion.

A war widow residing in Plymouth coun-
| ty, Mass, whose husband was killed (by the
reporters) in one of the battles last summer,
after deeply lamenting his loss, finally gave
up all hope of seeing him again. Time and
another suitor assuaged her grief, and finally
she married second time. But alas for con-
nubial felicity! Only five days of married
life had been passed, when the bride received
letter from her former husband, who was
recovering in hospital from the wounds
which were supposed to have killed him.

Gen. Butler is Just now the most popular

, During the Revolutionary war, French
| Major General, the Yiscompte de Fontauges,
commanded legion of St. Domingo blacks,
