position, he attacked with his corps about an hour before sunset, and driving the Eleventh corps of the Federals before him, routed and pushed them nearly to Chancellorsville. His assault was made at the well-known locality of the Wilderness; and this contest will be known in history as "The Battle of the Wilderness." Soon after e the order for his right to advance, and soon engaged Hooker with the entire corps, driving him from all his defences, huddling his shattered troops in upon Chancellorsville, and finally routing him completely, and sending him, thoroughly defeated back to the river. This desperate contest, in which Jackson's unfinished work was completed, to the full satisfaction of the illustrious soldier, took place in close vicinity to, in, and all around Chancellorsville. It will be known as "The Battle of Chancellorsville." These details of the battles which terminated in the defeat of Hooker, and his inglorious rout, are noted down for the satisfaction of our read

at will increase the confidence of the country in Gen. Hooker, that he did not execute his late retrograde movement until he had planned his present one, and had become satisfied of its superiority to any effort he could make in the field of Chancellorsville, contracted as it had been by the unfortunate defection of the 11th corps at the commencement of the struggle. A letter from a member of Sickles's corps dated on the 10th, giving an account of predations for an intended move, says: ck on Charleston will be resumed. Some of the iron-clads are lying at Edisto Inlet, off Folly Island, while another is still receiving repairs in our harbor. Frightful Carriage. A member of Sickles's corps, who was in the fight at Chancellorsville, writes: Through the mercy of Heaven, I escaped harm in the terrible carnage of Saturday and Sunday. Our corps bore the brunt of the battle both days, repulsing Stonewall Jackson on Saturday, whose command numbered 40,000 men, and on

The late victories — rumors. The late defeats of the Wilderness, Chancellorsville, and Fredericksburg No. 2, are not such as are recovered from in a day, and, therefore, the rumors of Yankees crossing above and below Fredericksburg, and of demonstrations at several points in the Tide water, and above it, were manifestly inappropriate to the condition of our worsted, wounded, and demoralized adversary on the Rappahannock. The Examiner, of yesterday, states that the spoils of the battle-fields are immensely large — including fifty thousand muskets and rifles, and a vast amount of coats, knapsacks, etc., abandoned by the enemy. This is the best evidence of a stampeded and flying army. None other escaping from the field of fight would have left so much behind. Even Northern accounts show that the army of Hooker, or a very large part of it, ran "as only men do as when convinced that sure destruction is starting them." We quote their own words applied to the flight of the Datchmen

The wounded and sick. --It appears from official data that 7,100 wounded men have been brought from Chancellorsville to Richmond.--Since that battle 1,900 sick have also been sent to Richmond. It is expected that during the next thirty days one-half of the wounded will be able to return to duty. In the battle the proportion of slightly wounded to those fatally injured greatly exceeded that of any previous contest between the Confederate and Abolition troops.
