THE BATTLE OF RESACA, GEORGIA.
Generals Hooker. ilpatrick, Manson and
Which Wounded-Three Rebel General
Officers Killed.
CINCINNATI, May 19.-The correspondent of
the Gazette telegraphs from Resaca, May 18th ::
On Sur day morning last firing commenced
as usual, but nothing Of partic ular importance
occurred until about p. m. AT that time de-
termined charge was made by Hooker's corps,
which now occupied our left, Gems Palmer,
Howard and Schofield having been shifted to-
ward the right to fill up the gap occasioned by
Hooker's withdrawal the day before. This
charge was at first believed to be successful.
The enemy were driven from portion of
their second line, and Woods brigade, OF But
terfleld's division, stormed small fort, and
took battery OF our guns. The rebels, how
ever, having massed on this part of the line
very heavily the day before, our men were
exposed to SO deadly fire from the inner works
that tt ey were compelled to withdraw. Part
of them continued to hold the small fort and
keep possession of the four rebel guns.
Notwithstanding this repulse, our line was
now advanced to what had been the first rebel
line Of works. Thus had we held our own in
the center, and gained substantial and perma-
nent advantage on both wings. For this, and
for some reasons yet unknown, the enemy
thought best to retire, and on Sunday night
evacuated Res Ca with his entire army, leaving
only three guns and some stores of meat and
corn bread. Early this morning we started in
pursuit.
i estimate our losses IN our CpefatlOnS Ia
front of Resaca at six hundred killed. three
thousand wounded and four hundred missing.
We have doubtless killed and wounded two
thousand of the enemy and taken sixteen hun
dred prisoners. Four of our Brigadier Gen.
erals have been Wounded--Hooker slightly.'
Fitzpatrick painfully, Manson seriously, and
Willigh, it is feared, MORALLY. Three general
officers Of the rebels are known 10 have been
killed.
Our trophies may be summed up at one
stand of coIors and seven pieces of artillery.
unless the cavalry mas since taken more, of
which there are some hopes.
We can doubtless pursue the enemy to Eto-
wah river with case, as the cars came down 20
Resaca to- day, the rebels not having injured
the railroad anywhere south of BuZZard
Roost. Our telegraphic communication is also
perfect to Resaca. The rebels have made no
attempt to interfere with our communications,
except by burning the depot at Madison, west
of Huntsville, last night and running Off q
dozen of prisoners. The cars run through to
Nashville, as usual.

ARREST OF THE FORGER OF THE
BOGUS PROCLAMATION.
HE CONFESSEs HIS GUILT.
WHY HE COMMITTED TIE FORGERY.

WHY HE COMMITTED TIE FORGERY
NEW YORK, May 21.-The forger of the re-
cent proclamation, purporting to have been
issued by President Lincoln, has been arrest
ed, and confesses that he palmed it off on the
journals here for gold and stock operations.
His name is said to be Howard, a newspaper
reporter.
Referring to Towards arrest the Times states
that he says he had no other motive except to
make little money on stock exchange, and it
never occurred to him that his performance
could produce any more important or serious
effect. A week ago Howard consulted Mr..
Kent, Of the firm of Kent 81 Clapp, brokers, as
to the probable effect upon the market of a
proclamation calling for 100000 more men.
Kent gave him his opinion, and subsequently
Howard showed him draft Of proclamation
which he claimed to know through secret
channels of intelligence at Washington was
about to be issued. After the publication in
the World and Journal Of Commerce, Kent at
once identified the published proclamation
with the draft Howard had shown him and
gave information of the circumstances to Gen.
Dix.
Howard " as arrested and brought to head.
quarters yesterday afternoon, where he at once
made full acknowledgment of his agencJ in
the matter, and exculpated all the newspapers
which he had succeeded in victimising from
any connection with it, directly or indirectly.
He employed another person, Morrissey, to
make copies which were sent to the press. 1t
is reported that several other persons were
cognizant of the proceeding, and also made it
basis of speculative operations in gold but
Howard, we understand, denies that any per-
SON was at all implicated with him In the
trans ction.

REVISING THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. excite.
ment has been created for some days past from
the fact that enrolling officers connected with

to military duty, many persons supposing that
a new draft was to be ordered shortly. We
learn that the officers are simply revising the
old enrolment lists, by adding the names OF
such persons as have attained the age Of 20, and
striking off the names of such as have become
over as since the first enrolment. Such per.
sons, too, as have been enrolled else where are
having their names stricken Off: and thus,
should another draft be ordered, the lists will
be more complete, and the draft will be con.
