I he Tiro was. commiinieutcd In thu njoiniuir buildings. All tlio telegraph wires were cut down mid thu bridges burned, to stop the passogo of troops. Thev however ar rived nt n late hour, and put n stop to the J disturbance. Htirusldi! bus ilcelareil mar tial law in Montgomery county, of which Dayton county is the cmtnty sent. The Dayton Kmpive, Vailandir.glmmV organ, has been snpprcfscd, and tho-cditor impris oned. Yallaiiditigliaiii is being tried to day before a military court. New York, 7th. The morning- papers contain no 'iiews relativo to iirmy move incuts on Sunday the lid, and Monday the till, additional to what has been telegraph ed already. Not a syllable of war news is permitted by the (lovernment to be tele graphed from Wushington for publica tion. The Herald prints the following : "Wo lenrn by n private mcssisgo that u great battle was fought on Tuesday, nnd lloolier, with hi:1 army, were driven back across tlio Rappahannock. Leo was heav ily reinforced, and the hist lint tin exceeded in slaughter those of the previous days. Nothing lias been beard fiom .Stonenuin. It Fcenn impossible to doubt thut he, with his force, will yet bo captured. New Yoil(,7th,fl-:j(),n. m. Tlio Her aid has just issued an extra containing the following, under flato of U. S. Ford, May fith, 8 ii. in. Yesterday morning three trains wcieoideied back to camp, nud bv dark the whole of the extra euisons, pack mules etc.. were at Falmouth. Tlio woun ded were hastily removed ami sent to Washington, leaving nothing on the other t-iilo but infantry and artillery. About three o'clock in tlio evening it commenced raiding ; the rivrr ro.-e with great rapidity, nnd toon overflowed the pontoons, rendering crosing impossible. The upper pontoon wus taken up and used for lengthening out others ; niter Fevernl hours' hard labor the bridges were once mote ready. Pine bows wero spread up on the pontoons to prevent nou-e in cross iug, mill about midnight tlio troops com imenced falling back. S'lielst cwrps was tlio first across, und now nearly all nic over. The 3d corps icmuined in tlio intrench ments to cover thu letreal. It is hoped that tlio army will reach this side belore tlio enemy discover the retreat, but cannon nding commenced quite fiercely at the right front, and u desperate battle is not improb nble. In any event wo cm doubtless re tire ncrns tlio river without serious low ; but if discovered in our attempt, the stnm gle will bo fierce. If unmolested. he troops can get over by noon. Tlio roads are in a'horriblo condition. Our sick ore laying on the road, but ambulances are coming up to remove tlicui. The enemy evidently mnscd his nriny on our right, with a view, it is believed, to prevent our cross'ng ubove, and attacking n ir ru'ht fn' nnd rear. The h'eli wa ter fitis miid th it movement. Tlio pon moils mid tuiins tire down near Hamilton's Glossing; sunn' fears are entertained that the rebel would make it demonstration to cross the river. Ureal numbers of our wounded have fallen into thu bunds of the enemy. Our dead on the buttle field of Suuilav. nro still unbnried, nnd the wound ed are undoubtedly dying in great numbers for the want or uttcntion. Mr. .Johnson, medical inspector of the nnny, will go over with a corps of surgeons, to take chnrcc of the wounded. He will probably go across ns soon practicable. Hooker is very mwch depressed. Last night he had a consultation with com manding Oencrnis, in which it win umod that longer stay in his present poaitimt would prove unsafe for thu unity. The rain is fulling fust ; tlio river is ris ing with greut rapidity. Falmouth, fith. Henvv cannonading is heard in the direction oT U. S. Ford. Now York. 7th. Richmond papers of the fitli say. Stoneman's force iiiimI" sad havoc with the railroad nt Hanover ) unc tion, and in other place' ; besides u large nnioiint of property, and all III" railroad bridges to within five mites of Richmond. Some papers also say Stonewall Juckson is seriously wounded. Last evening's Washington Star say, we have news from Stoneman that he di vided his force. 12,000 cavalry, into three columns: the 1st, commaml'd by hiiwelf. committed the havoc. They lost several killed. Second column, under Averil. crossing the Ruppaliannock nt Kelly's l'Jord, puohed to llrundicV Stnlion, ii"ur ( 'nl pepper, driving !h rebel pickets. He then went in the direction of Culpepper, wliere frill) rebel cavalry wero ruptured, and n large amount of Hour. He then pushed on after the retreating rebels, fol lowing to Rnppidan Station, whero they burned the railroad bridge over which "they retreated, after a sharp lirht. Richmond papers, (ith, claim that thnv took, in the engagement on Saturday, f,000 prisoner lruiu uur xuo corps. Washington, fit Ii. The object of flen. Averil's expedition seeuw to have b"fn the destruction of Ttappidan Station Hridge, which the relioN, in their retreat, did for him. After proceeding nn far us Orange Church, lie returned with his force to the main army nl Chutieellorville, joining it on Sunday. Another column, which left the Itnppa liMionck at the same tlm". puMied directly for tiordonsvllle, and positive information lms been received regarding its success lu uniting the Yirglnin Central Railroad, be tween (lordousvlllo and Richmond, nnd uli-o bilween the former place and Charlottes vlllo ; other columns udruvltiir thu road cominunleallnn lielwecn Frederlckhburg and Richmond, completely stopping railroad communleatlon in any direction out from Leo's main army: breaking up. for thu time being, the cnenr'H fadlttice lor furnUliing supplies. The Tribune fhvn the army of tlio Poto mac eroded the river at U. S. Ford, to thu old camp alon-j Acqnia Railroad. The crosMng was effected with loss. Sedgwick, at Frederlck-bing, was overwhelmed bv numbers, and lxvrely Cicaped. H'i saved his artillery anil trains. Ills Ws Is about ."i.ODO. 1'redpriek-burg. filli. The heignts are oc cupied by tlio enemy. Hooker commenced crolngTue'day night, mid was covered by the !ld and 5th corps. Lee's (hai,phooters picked oil n number of artillery horses and officers. Tliolr batteries occupied nil the ad vantageou portions, and wero piled with vigor on our forces. On consultation of coinmanders. it win decided that tlio enemy wero too powerlu'l. Sedgwleks uiisuccefsfiil attempt to join Hoolcer. added to the coun cil of the corps commanders, shook Hook er's conl'duncc, and ho ordered the evacua tion. The Times correspondent i-ays there was a time, from Friday morning to Monday night, (hut Hooker might have attacked ami dcfcntcA Lee, but ho lacked the ability to give the oidcrs. Tlio army was greatly de moralized by this inglorious retreat. Tlio Times clones bv saying that the army is safe, less 13.000 men, and a much larger number unlit lor duty. Tho Herald says it is rumored that Lon has massed his army on our right, and that Hooker will change, his bas-e. Hooker is much dibheurtcued, but there is hope yet. Now York, 7th. A dispatch from head quarters, says seven rebel divisions are said to bo in fiont of our urwy, with Stewart's cavalry on our left. It Is Relieved that the rebels are bringing up reinforcements over land. Ho keeps up n bsW front, and scums to bo well supplied with r.muiunitlon. Our lllh corps retrieved Us reputation, twice re putting the flanks of I'mo enemy. General Wluppel died on Tues-dnj from his wounds. The IM of casualties thus fur show thu following : " Mend'" cnrp. 2 officers and 21 privates killed ; hcveu officers und lfi'2 pri vates wouiidul. First division.

'The Times suvs, had we been content with holding thu bights in tlm rear of Fredericks burg, all would havu been well, as we bud thu enemy in a tight place. Sunday Night's Dispatch, Fortress Monroe. 7lh. Two Union pris oners, who arrived from Richmond to day, report that they were captured within three miles of Richmond, on the Ihl, while in pursuit of u courier with a dispatch from Oencru! Jackson to .h If. Duvis. The people of Richmond were in a terrible state of excitement. The Richmond En ifxirer, of the ftth, claims to have taken fi.OOO prisoners on Sunday, but admits u heavy loss. Of Oenernl Stonemnn's raid the sumo paper says: Ifi.flOO cuvuiry ilm t roved the Fredericksburg railroad at Ash laiiil, took possession of a train of cars, capturing several rebel Ooveriimcnt officers. He also dest roved two locomotivci. A detachment of Yankees then proceeded to Hanover Court Hoiifc. tearing up the Cen tral Railroad track, and cutting tho tele graph wires. They also burned the Court House and several bridge on t lie Frede ricksburg railroad, and destroyed the wa ter tanks. They were evidently guided by some one familiar with the country. At Urooks' Pike the Yankees exchanged horses for fresh ones, nnd proceeded across the Chickiihoniinv. destroying the turnpike nnd railroad bridges across the river. They captured u locomotive which was sent out this morning on a reconnaissance. St. Louis, 8th. A gentleman from Slireevesport reports that tho rebels have one gunboat ami thirty transport between tl;ere nnd Alexandria, leu thousand ren ds wero reported to no nt Loudon. At Danville, nine miles above Shreevwpnrt, he saw threu Texan regiments, en route for Little Rock, to join (Jeneral Price, for the invasion of Missouri. They nre 'o be mounted, nnd will leave about tlio 'Jfith of May and movo up IHack river. ienerl Rluiit telegraphed from Ivavenworth that Col. Phillips 'rocd the Arkunsim river on the night of April LM ill, and utlucked the rebel force that had been concentrated and lortified at Wells' Fulls, capturing nil their camp cquippuge. Milford, 7th. Yesterday Jackson pene trated the enemy's rear, and drove him from Ills position to within half n mile of Chiinecllnrville. He was attacked at the same time in front by two of Longslreets divisions. Jiss on botli sides very heavy. "Washington, fitli. It lias been nscer tninrd from thu front that the army lias ar rived witli nil its accoutrements at old i camp I'lilmonili. Hooker proved no Tlm demonstration of. disaster but simply n failure. Less than three-fourths of the whole, force could bo engaged, owing to llie dense forests nnd impracticable wad. Our loss in prisoners does not exceed l.fiOO. The President nnd General Halleck vwitcd Hooker's army Tue-'duj, and returned to night. Tlio nrmy is preparing for another movement. Wo will probably not know -when it is to bo made until niter it has commenced. Philadelphia. 8th. List evening's Wash ington, Sinr says it is understood that (Jen oral Hooker estimates his loss nt 10,000 killed, wounded nnd missing, and also that ho brought away all his nmterhl from his lute position, and that while so unfortunate as to Jose sonio artillery, ho took ug many prisoners as lie lost. New York. 8th. A special dispatch pnya Gereral Stouphton says that on Mon day morning fanners rushed into tlio city witli news of Slonemiin's appearance in the suburbs, nnd that our cavnlry nre gob bling up everybody ns prisoners. The hells were rung' nnd fearful consternation prevailed. Stoiighton states that Stone man went in sight of Richmond, and four of our men were captured within a mile und a quarter of that oily. General banks has issued oiders com manding nil registered enemy.- to leave his Department, on or before tin lfilh of May. He has r.No mado death tho penalty for furnishing supplies to the enemy. Monday Night's I)ipatch. From Sentinel IMr., Monday, llth, inst.j Philadelphia. May nth. The linlh'tln of thN oltv publishes the following : -We have highly Important Intelligence this evening. We U'livu from the editor ot" the Enquirer that one of their correspondents who has jut rntiirncd from Washington. N informed that Hooker reenwed thuRippnlmtiiiock !a force yesterday, the men carrying eight days rations. We also learn from another souicu that N vouched for u rellibK that General Keycs has taken Richmond, having Advanced upon it via Yorklovvit and tlm the Federal r lag no.v noni over tne reu-1 Capitol. If this Intelligence Is true. Hook er's falling buck was a rue. nnd the real attack on Richmond was to bo made whlle Leu's onny was on tho Rappahannock. If Stoneman has cut o!f Loo as is reported it will bu the work of timo for Lee to reich tho rebel Capitol. In tho meantime Hook er is on bis heels. Wo heard a confirmation from a reliable source that Hooker had reerowed the Rap pahannock. Gold has been falling rapidly to day. and this fact probably resulted from the im portant movements rcortcd. We have no quotations of tho price of the precious met al, since tho reception of this important news. Thu telegraph is silent concerning this important intelligence, which is al ready exciting tlm utmost enthusiasm. Philadelphia, lth. It is reported that private advices have been received In this city from Fortress Monroe, stating that 10. 000 troopi arrived there on the 5th as rein forcements, and immediately moved for ward for an attack on Richmond. There Is no doubt but that Hooker has recroscd thu Rappahannock. It is also stated that (Jen. Stoneman wns lying at tho Wlilto House, on tho 5th, receiving reinforcement! from transports, via York river and immediately tending them forward to Richmond. The people of this city ore in tho highest State of excitement over the glorious news. Chicago, midnight, May Dili. I nond yon everything received up to this time with regard to the reported capture ut Richmond. Springfield, Illinoin, Dili. The follow ing was received last night : Grand (ulf. Miss., 3d. We gained a glorious victory nt Port Gibson, Miss., on the 1st. The en emy are in full retreat nnd our forces in close pursuit. The Illinois troops, us usual, behaved with their greatest gallantry. Tho loss on our side is liiO killed und 500 wounded. We have tnken 1,000 prisoners. Tht enemv's loea is much greater than ours. Signed Richard Yates. Washington, 0th. The following ha been received from Grand Gulf to General Halleck : we landed ut Rolingburg. April :10th, nnd marched directly to Port Gibson, nnd met the enemy. 11.600 strong, -l miles south of that, place, ut 2 o'clock on the morning of the 1st, engaged and fought thorn all day, entirely routing them, with tlio low of many killed nud wounded. Our low is about 100 killed nnd fiOO wounded. The enemy retreated towards Vieksburg, destroying the bridges over tho Huyoa Pierce. They were rebuilt und the pursuit continued to the present time. Four field pieces and some stores wero captured, und thu enemy destroyed many stores. The country is the most broken und difficult to operate in of any that T ever saw. Our victory is complete, nud the enemy is thor oughly demoralized. San Francisco, May 10th The steamers Urother Jounthun from Victoria and Orl- ' vsabti from Panama, arrived lut night.
