THE BATTLE at CHAXCELLORSYIILK. Drtnlla of the FtgUting on Saturday and Sunday, May 3d aud 4tl lla-gram of the Battlefield A Connected Account from Official lnfoina tiou. Correspondence uf too Boston Journal. Washington, May 7, 1863. Elated and depressed.

Cheered and chagrined. Exultant and despondin. The rebels were between two fires. Hooker had tbem just where he wanted them. They could -not retreat They would be annihilated.

The rebellioa wa3 nearly at an end. Such was the talk the feelinp. ll is now changed. The army is back in its camp. The victory that was to be, is not, It will be my endeavor to present a condensed review of the operations of the two armies, commencing with last Saturday, sifting, with what ability I may have, the true from the false, using official information.

THE POSITION AT CHAXCELlToRSViLXEi Saturday Morning. The single house which makes Chancellorsville is at a crossing at the intersection of the Gor-donsville olank road and the old Orange county turnpike. Standing on the piazza and looking south, you look directly dowu the old turnpike road a mile, to Scott's run. As you face south, the liappahannock is at your back. It is five miles to United States ford.

In front of the house and west of it, along the plank road, is a small field; all the rest is woods. In this field is an immense train of artillery, ammunition cavalry, ambulances, supplies, hospitals, and troops. Here are General Hooker's headquarters the grand center of a hundred thousand iiieu the brain which thinks for them all. Go out two miles west on the plank road, past Dowdall's tavern, and you come to the Eleventh Army Corps, commanded by Howard, mostly German troops. Howard has had them but a few days knows but little of them, atid they but little of him but there is sterling merit in both troops and commander.

His position is entrenched toward the south. It is in the woods, and the great trees are felled rolled up as a bacl-woodsman builds a log fence. Nearer to the house, on the morning of Saturday, stood the Third Corps, General Sickles; but in the afternoon a portion of it advanced, directly south, nearly five miles. Berry and Whipple, with their divisions of this corps, remain. Birney, with Berdan's sharpshooters from Whipple's division, also go south.

Right at the house, and east of it, is the Twelfth Corps, Slocums. Williams's division of this corps joins Birney and Berdan, the whole under Sickles. East of Slocuni is the Fifth Corps, Meade's. Behind Slocum, a.ncl1M'inAoTla the Second Corps, Conch, holding the .1 onomr mav not make granu rusn ana secure iu UOIILWUO Lnited States lord. The hour is Saturday afternoon almost night.

The First Carps, Reynolds, is just crossing the river at the ford. He turns his column west, and is four miles in rear of Howard. A diagram will present the position thus to the eye: ahannock. Reynold. Couch.

Berry. Wh'ppl. Metide. Chancellor House. Plank Road.

Slocum. Howard. 1 Sick lea. I Old road by which Jackson advanced from Fredericksburg. Howard has advanced from his morn ing position, and is pretty well out to ward Sickles, instead ot being two miles west of the Chancellor House, he is three miles south-west All throuch Friday night Howard has heard a confused sound south and west of him iu the woods the rattle of wag ons.

the clatter of axes, men voices, the low words of a multitude. Two days ago the entire rebel army was ten miles east, but now it is passing west. There are guesses that Lee is retreating to Gordonsville. SICKLES INTERRUPTS JACKSON TRAIXS. Sickles, looking down the turnpike, discovers the moving column ot aniinu nition wagons and ambulances.

He wants to cut it Obtains permission, moves out, opens with a battery, explodes a shell, sends in Berdan with his sharp-shooters, and cuts the train in two. He brings in a fine lot of prisoners. It is excellent He wants to move on. Asks for reinforcements. Hooker objects, for it is not known whit the contused bum means out west on the plank road.

Ha moves Berry and Whipple up a little nearer to Chancellorsville. Sickles moves on. Suddenly he comes upon the rebels in two lines, of Longstreet's force. Nearly all of the rebel army has been massed south and west of Chancellorsville, with remarkable celerity. Sickles has crossed Scott river and is ascending the hill beyond, when he receives from the thick underbrush the fire of the enemy.

A severe contest ensues, and he is obliged to fall back before the tremendous fire. IIOWAP.D ATTACKED. Howard, in the woods, has heard the enemy. The pickets have been exchanging shots and that is all. Suddenly, away out on his right, where General Carl Sehurz's division is in is a rattle of musketry, mingled with the demoniac yells of fifty thousand men in mass.

They ponr through the woods, down the hill, like a stream of lava. Jackson has determined to crush Hooker with one grand staggering blow; to fall like a thunderbolt upon his extreme right He commences with Schurz, who is in flank to the advancing force, Schnrz. Jackson. It is like breaking a walking-stick by striking it on end with a sledge-hammer. Not that, but the crumbliug and flying of a stick of brittle candy.

The division melted away like a straw in a candle-flame. Howard was on the left with Gen. Devens. He rallied the two remaining divisions. For a few moments they resisted the shock, but like the fall- ing of a shattered wall, when the ma- sonry is loosened, like the washing away of a dam where the water has swept out the first grain of sand, the line dissolved.

Gen. Howard was left almost lotto. He begged, threatened, strove with all his might did ail that man could do, but the panic was on the men. Away they' went toward Chancellorsville, through Berry and Whipple, through the mixed crowd on the tifiy acre Tot of cleared land, imparting the panic to teamsters, to artillerymen and ambulance drivers. They have left eight pieces of artillery behind.

The remainder of their guns are coming dowu the narrow roadway as fast as the drivers can hurry their horses with lash and spur. A CRITICAL MOMENT. It is sundown. A critical moment in the hiBtory of this nation. It is not a cull itun stampede, wttii no enemy in pursuit; not the close of a hard fought battle, but the beginning of one, with a fierce, exultant, determined host ad vancing.

1 he river roaring in its might, just bursting through the breach, must be dammed in an instant! lhe flood must be stopped at once or all is lost There has been no moment like it during the war. It was a' critical hour that sunset hour on Sunday at Pittsburz Landing but there the torrent had been stemmed all through the day. It ws an eventful moment at Molvern Hills, when Magruder led up his whhsky-mad- of our forces; but that was the last of ajbe exhausted by seven days lighting. But nere, at. iu.

this wood, this clearing, may have been the turning point of the destiny of this nation, the welfare ot tne Human race lor all corainr time. Now is the hour for the stringing of the nerves, lhe bracing of hearts, the clenching of teeth! Flesh and blood must become adamant THE TORRENT STOPPED. Gen. Sickles, seeing the disaster, hast ened to avert it lhe fleeing artillery was thundering down the narrow road. Half way back to Chancellorsville at the entrance to the cleared field was a stone wall, extending from Scott's creek up to the woods.

There was the place to stop the stampede. He reached the gateway. With pistol ana 6word ne stoppea tne foremost piece of artillery. The others came crowning on, me arivers in a iever heat of panic, but they were blocked. Officers rallied tbem, and ttieir courage began to return, and notwithstanding the infantry was tumbling headlong over the wall, and fleeing through the woods, the artillery recovered its senses.

Pleasanton with his cavalry was in the field. Leaving the cavalry he took charge of ths artillery, turned it up ou the ridge, manned it in battery, brought np his cavalry to support it a feature novel and lau enable and in hve min utes had the foundation of a dam. Capt Best, Chief of artillery to Sickles' corps, with marvelou senergy brought his pieces into position, all pointing toward the advancing avalanche forty pieces ready to open their thunders. Gen. Hooker was at Chaucellorsville.

In an instant he was in the saddle. There was no force at hand but Berry that could be thrown instantly into the breach. It was his old command, hardened, indurated, made perfect through suffering in all the hard-fought contests of the Peninsula. With a heroism unsurpassed, equal to the imperial guard at Waterloo, amid all the disaster rout, panic and commotion, they moved into position one single block to resist the moving mass, to stop it square till Birney, Berdan and Williams could be recalled; till Slocum could change front; till the darn could be thrown across the stream 1 jacksos's advance. With yells and cheers the enemy advanced aud met the canister and shells of thirty pieces of artillery.

It as a terrible fire. There stood Berry's division as firm as a rock. Again and again the rebels dashed against those veterans only to be hurled back, dashed in pieces, to reform and roll np again like the waves upon the rocks of Nahant An hundred shots a minute were thun dered from those thirty cannon one unbroken roll of thunder, sweeping away the rebels as a housewife an army of emmets into the fire! They quailed, halted, fell back. The torrent was stemmed. The grand coup d'etat of Jackson bad been checked.

Coolness, nerve, pluck, endurance, had won the day seemingly bad turned tbe tide of destiny. JACKSON PUSHED BACK. In the night Whipple and Berry and Birney advanced. It was not enough to stem the tide it must be moved back. NUMBER 190.

It was a fierce and successful assault They recovered a portion of the lost ground, and gave Hooker time to reform his line for the great' contest of Sunday, TH'-: LINE OX SUNDAY HORNING. The line was nearlv in the form of a letter V. There was but little danger ot an attack from the east, and Howard, who, with almost superhuman exertion, had reo: Lis corps, was placed on the while Mead was sent over to the right. Couch was also moved toward west, but kept a position to strike in either direction. hooker's plan.

Hooker's plan was to fight a defensive battle. He knew the enemy must attack him or retreat It was his intention to receive i iie attack, let Jackson do his utmost tili exhausted, and then be would begin tin- advance, bring in his fresh divisions, and cut the retiring force to pieces. All of his movements from the luomeut of leaving Falmouth had been with ohjaet-itt Reyiu-lds was on the extreme right, at -iLo. upj -of -th Jeft Lj.g 0f the V.

Howard was on the right and Couch in the center. Rappahnn. k. Ford. iteynlds.

Mead. Couch. It was not exactly a but a triangle, with the left leg longer than the right, with nearly all the troops on that leg. The rebel advance was from the west, directly along the turnpike, Reynolds and Mead were north of the turnpike. Sickles on it, and slocum exteding one division eouth of it Hooker selected his old case hardened corps to meet the shock.

Berry, of Sickles' corps, was on the north side of the turnpike, Birney of it both divisions advanced from the general line: Whipple of Sickles' corps, was behind Berry, and Williams, of Slocum's corps, behind Birney. The other division of Siooum's (Geary's) formed the southern -nlf of the other leg, joining on Howard. The art ilery under Best was massed ptKQ. i.Huaoiptis, beeieys, bmith OsbandV, f.nd two sections of Dimmick of the fifi acre lot Birney and Berry were at ti.e western ede of the lot, with two Dimmick battery in the road. TUK FIGHT ON SUNDAY.

It was tiriy Sunday morning when Jackson a anced about half-past five. The force his stroke was intend' 1 to break the lHl leg of the V- close to the joint, thus V. In the annals of this war there has been no greater manifestation of desperation than that shown by the rebels this Sunday morning. They came through the woods in solid mass, receiving in their faces the terrible hail storm which burst like the fury of a tornado from Berry's and Birney's lines, from "Whipple's and Williams' which were at once advanced to the front The batteries the forty pieces of artillery under Best, hurled in the grape and canister. The advancing column was cut and gashed as if pierced, seamed and plowed by invincible lightning.

Companies and regiments melted away, yet still they came. Berry and Birney advance to meet them. They were terrible shocks. The living waves rolled against each other as you have seen the billows on a stormy sea. The enemy, as if maddened by the obstinacy of these handfulis of men, rushed np to the muzzles of the cannon only toe swept back, leaving long lines of dead, where the grape swept through.

The rebel commanders pushed on men to the sacrifice, carrying the one all-animating idea of this rebellion, to win at whatever cott Sickles 't for reinforcements. Hooker, instead of sending them down the road, ordered French and Hancock, of Couch's to advance past Mead and attack the imy in flank. Couch was in the centes of the V. Instead of going down totht- they marched through into the wet, came with great force upon the divisioi which Jackson had thrown down towa-o'clock, an-put the em Mead. It was about seven in a half hour's time ther i to flight But blCK the tremeu'i driven in.
