TOT XATE3T WAR. X732WS. The news of General Hooker's retrograde 'movement to the north side of the Rappahannock, after sustaining a loss of ten thousand teen or more a contest of three dayp, rrttirl an intpnan ia the citv on Thursday. Our latest news report the army safe at Falmouth. The artillery, ammunition 'and trains were brought over without loss The river had risen ten feet, renderings pursuit by General Lee next to impossible.

The failure of General Sedgwick to support General Hooker, owing to the overwhelming force brought against him by the rebels at 'Fredericksburg; the absence of Gen. Stone man's splendid cavalry force, which was employed on an expedition that proves to have been quite successful, sod the re inforcement of Lee by Longstreet, and the iIpUv in hrinpini? ud Heintztfman's reserves. 'sition on the other vide of the Rappahannock no longer tenable, and his withdrawn! be cirae a painful necessity. He crossed by 'the United States and links' fords in a terrific rain storn, the rudien rising of the waters rendering the use of the pontoon 'bridges exceedingly precarious. The success of General Stonetnin's ex medition is admaiea nyxne reoeii tn rusticra His forces were divided into three pquudrons one commanded by himself and the others "by Generals Avrt ill and Buford.

All performed their work gallantly by cu ting the raiload 'cotnm uoioationa betWeeu Lee's army and 'Richmond and destroying all tbe 'bridges to within "five miles of the rebel capital. One party of tbe eavatry went to Louisa Court House, coifing up the railroad there Another pushed on to Columbia and Goochland, on tbe Junes rivet, breaking the can! at the former point and capturing rebel TStores at the latter. A portion of the force tfre said to have actually got to within a mile and a quarter of Richmond. General Stone man then pushed on for tbe peninsula, and it was reported in Washington that he had got as far as Williamsburg. We leaYn from the Wheeling Inte.ltienoer of Wendesday that Iherebels are still at Weston, ia West Virginia, and that they are seven thousand strong, the forces of Jones and Imboden having 4 united.

There is another tebel column under Gen. Wilder, numbering about four thousand, hoveriof in the vicinity of Summerville, along the New river. This latter force is acting in conjunction wi'h Jenkins and threatens Charlestown. By despatches from Cairo we ascertain that our have positively, captured Grand Gulf, taking 500 prisoners, and all the guns, ammunition and stores. The rebel accounts from Jackson, Miss on the 2d, state that their troops had then falleu bxok within their imreoebments, and had then repulsed three assaults of the Union forces.

"Guerilla forces at Greenville, destroyed the transport Minnesota on Sunday; bu the gunboats scattered the enemy soon after Our gunboats at Grand Gulf stood fire for eight hours, and then passed safely on, with transports and troops. Our news from Arkansas is interesting Colonel Phillips encountered and defeated the rebels at Weber Falls on the 24th capturing all their camp equipage.

THE BERKS COUNIT CONSPIRACY CONCLUSION PROCEEDINGS. Among other things, Huber said, if you are drafted you should not accept the notices. If they come for you, load the guns with coarse salt or small shot, and bide under the fences; as soon as you get a chance, shoot at their legs, but take care not to hurt anybody. That was the way, he said, tbey did it in the other draft in Lancaster county. said that be saw Dr.

Illtg, G. Filbert and Huber at the meeting in the barn On the cross examination, witness ssid that a pari of the oath taken at' the secret meeting was to support the Constitution and the Union. He did not consider the remark of Huber about the shooting of salt or fine shot a joke, Isaao Fidler testified that he heard Oxen reidersay thathe would fight the abolitionists. George Moyer testified that Huber toll him the society was to keep from going to tbe war, if drafted; that the dollar paid in was to go towards buying guns. The District Attorney aBked for a further postponement, saying that he wished to examine other witnesses as to the force to be used in resisting the draft or any rlber law.

Mr. J. Glancey Jonen, who represents all the defendants, but Huber, siid that it must be apparent to the Dictrict Attorney that the society had not for its object the resisting of any lw by force; that it did not seek to overthrew the Government. It had been testified that the members were sworn te support the Consti u'ion and the Union, and he could sty from a full knowledge of the sentiments and feelings of the people of Berks county that there Was no intention to do auy unUirful net that they preferred submission to acts regarded unconstitutional ra'lier than anarchy. The District Attorney said that an attempt had been made in Berks county to give the affair a political aspect, and the proceedings before the Commissioner had been denounced at a public meeting.

Mr. Jones replied that there was no intention on the part of 'hose holding tbe meeting to denounce its proceedings before the Com tnissioner. A charge of a want of loyalty hid been made in the newspapers against the people of Berks, and the meeting had for its object the vindication of them from the charge. The seoond of June was'fixed for the next hearing. 8.The Steele Byou expedition came upon, on Deer Creek, tbe celebrated SheIby in Uucle Tom's Cabin.
