JOK I'RINTING. Evcry kiud of print-ins is promptly cxecuted at this office, in the best style and at the lowest prices. The fucilities of the estnblishment are of the first order; ood werkmen are em-ployed, aud additions of type and other printing materials are oonstantly being iiiade to keep fully up with the times. The Xews (As We Get It.) It was report ed that Gen Hooker's army had again crossed the Kappahannock, but no one but the editor of the Boston Journal credits the rumor. The Journal thinks Hooker is now pursuing the rebel army tow-ards Richmond.

Past experience does not show so rapid recovery as this after a repulse and retreat. The news from Gen Grant is eheering he has achieved two important sucresse3 the past week in the capture of Grand Gulf and Port Gibson. Accounts from Vicksburg look quite favorable our forces are in the rear of the cityj effectually cutting olf all retreat. It is generally be- iieveu tnat tne cuy is not ionineu in us rear. A cavalry raid that eclipses Gen Stone-, man was pertormeu ny coi urierson who has been the entire length of the state of Mississippi, destroying railroads, burning bridges and capturing towns and a similar raid has been made by Gen Dodge in Iowa.

If our cavalry can destroy the rebels' rail-road communications an important advantage which they now have over us will he doiie uway. The traitor Vallandigham wus arrested at his residence in Dayton by order of Gen Burnside for certain treasona-ble utterances, and although a copperhead mob undertook to rescue him, he was taken to Cincinnati and will there be tried by court i Miailliu. 4luueaU4GUUUIuai dll uriII at the battle of Chancellorsville, and the news came Wednesday that he died from the I efTects of his wound. -The government or- gan at Washington announces that the con-scription is to take place immediately. Gen Grant had a battle with Gen Bowen ten miles from Jackson last Wednesday in which Bowen was defeated and driven towar.ls Jackson.

The battle lasted all day. Mr Stoughton (nominated brigadier general, but not confirmed) who was surprised and captured a few weeks ago, is released from Richmond prison and arrived in Washington list week. He says Gen Stoneman coul 1 have easily captured Richmond as all the rebel army was drawn off to reinforce Gen Lee at Fredericksburg. He also says thit he was infurmed at Richmond, by rebel olhcers who were at Charleston during the late fight, that Fort Suintir was on the point of surrendering when our manitors hauled off. Several shots passed entirely through the fort, pierc'mg both walls, aml falling into the water beyond.

Gen Charles Stone, who has been under arrest since the batle of Balls has been assigned to dutj in the depavtment of the Gulf. His is a curious case. Although re-peatedly asking a court martial, he has never yet had a trial and after being in disgruce a year aud a half, is assigned to duty again, without an investigation into the causes that led to his arres. It will be noticed that our army corres-pondent says the army itself lays the blame of Hooker's defeat to the iack of reinforce-ments. The report that thirty thousand men from Gen Heintzeman's department were snt to reinforce Gen Hooker is untrue.

Not a single man was sent. Six newspaper correspondents were killed near Vicksburg on Sunday. They were Col-burn of the N. Y. World, Richardson and Brown of the Tribune, McCnllough of the Cincinnati Cominercial, Beatby of the Ga-zette and Dodmaa of the Chicago Tiibune.

They were in the tug destroyed by the hot shot from the Vicksburg batteries.

i The rebel general Lee, finding his opponents divided, hurled his entire army, first against Hooker, then against Sedgwick, then back against Hooker again. Thus Sedgwick, al-though successful in driving the enemy from the Hights, could not hold them against Lee's superior force, and was obliged retreat with great loss and it was only by the most terrible fighting that he was enabled to get the main of his force awav After Sedgwick's force was defeated, and the rebels had been greatly reinforced hy fresh troops from Richmond and the Caroh-1 the soldiers the provost marshal appoint-nas, Gen Lee pressed the exhausted and not far th5s slatp- We notice but one of reinforced columns of Gen Hooker so hard f.h? latt" Howe Cttmhridge) in the list whife old and aclive politicians sweep it is evident that the last daj or two bat-, off the bulk.

A Most Provokin Iloav. A telegram was received at this place Sat-urday evening, to the effect that Gen Keyes had gone up from Yorktown and captured the rebel capital, while the confederate army was all drawn away to the Rappahannock to dispute the advance of Gen Hooker. It looked like a thing so easily to be acconi-pltshed under the circumstances that many were inclined to believe it.

Sabbath morn- ing two more dispatches came, each confirm-ing the one of the previous evening, and adding that the Federal flag was now waving over Richmond, and that Gen Hooker's army had again crossed tho Rappahannock. What more was needed Here was an assertion, twice affirmed the next day, that Richmond was captured. We can 'assure our readers, that, although we did not fire cannon as some of our neighboring towns-men did, our people went to church very thankful in their hearts. A disnatch was received Monday saying that the glorious news received the day previous was prenia- ture, and aithoagh Richmond might have been easily captured by Gen Keyes' or auy other force after Stoneman had destroyed the commanication between there and Fredericksburg, yet the rebel capital was yet to be taken.

To ihe Editor of the Caledonian Taking it for grant ed that you have some mn 01 uie sericS OI uallles have been fouht in the PdSt week' 1 can assure u'eeli' I time our toiks had dnyen them steadilv, had the advantage position and had succeeded in every move upon the right. On Wednesday morning, Gen Hcok. er tvithdrew his army safely to this side the river, in the face of a iiuich superior force. Gen Sedgwick with the (jth eorps took the hights of Fredericksburg on Sunday but pressed on after the retreating rebels, sup-posing he had them all before him, leaving a force in the works merely as guard but on Monday morning the rebels fell upon his rear with a strong force and repossessed the works or a part, though I believe he had moved out the guns, but he was not able af-j ter that to drive them out. The Vermont 21 led the charge, goin' in with the utmost coolniss and bravery.

They lost 131 men killed and wounded, the Gth also lost 73 men. Capt Crossman of the 2d was severely wounded in the knee, his leg has since been am-putated, but is doing well now I understand. The men all express the most entire confidence in Gen Hooker and claim that he out-generalled the rebels every move and could have held his position even against the reinforcements, could he have got supplies and asumunition. Ihe rebels in one instance, massed their troops six deep and charged upon a position, ihe times coming up with the most reckless indifference, with their guns to the right shoulder shift," and some without arms, swinging their hats and screaming like so many demons. Our folks let them get within 100 yards, then opened with grape and cannister, mowing them down by hun-; dreds.

I Our folks have taken more prisoners and guns man uiey nave lost and lost much less in killed and wounded than the rebels for) the reason that their number. were mnnh uieiuson mai meir njmocrs were much; silghtly hurt The army is not in the least demoralized, but in the best possible spirits and ready at, a a io aavance, or move wlien Stoneman is in the rear of the rebels Wlth a larSe of cavnlry and we are in i uui'" leir suppties entirely Our army captured prisoners that said they were from Bragg's army, and some that said they were in North Carolina sixty hours before. The rebels admit they were reinforced by about 100,000 men if Gen Hooker could have had half the number he could have driven them back. Yours in faith, X. P.
