erald has the following editorial: The reports which we publish to-day of the movements of Gen Hooker's army indicate the near approach of the most important, and, perhaps, the decisive struggle of the war.

He is moving on an interior line above or west of Fredericksburg, to turn that a squad or two of riflemen, is it not possible that Lee, anticipating this flank movement of Gen. Hooker, may have played upon him the old rebel game of Manassas and Corinth. We are aware of the farch, involving the destruction of all surplus baggage. It is possible, therefore, that while Gen. Hooker has been waiting for the roads to dry his enemy may have given him the slip, though all our ion direct from the field leads to a different conclusion. At all events, this advance of Gen. Hooker is now the all-absorbing question of the day. The hopes and the fears of the country are now

d disastrous defeat at Chancellorsville. There is only one real reason, and that the simplest possible. Our army didn't fight as well as that of our enemies. We had every possible advantage. Our numbers more than doubled theirs, till Longstreet's reinforcements came up, which didn't then bring their forces up to 100,000 to oppose our 130,000. Indeed, it would now seem that Longstreet didn't come up at all. We had the advantage of position and no inconsiderable amount of entrenchment. Gen Hooker's plan was admirably arranged and excellently carried out, until the fighting took place. He exposed himself in the hottest place of danger and set an electrifying example of heroism to the whole army. The terrible loss of life among our Generals shows that on the whole they were not found wanting at their posts of duty. We had men enough, well enough equipped and well enough posted, to have devoured the ragged, imperfectly armed and equipped host of our enemies from off the face of the

He had been plundering the houses among the mountains. Gen. Couch has received a dispatch confirming the report that the rebel cavalry were at Gettysburg. The force that went to McConnelsville, in Fulton, to 25 miles from Chambersburg, helped themselves to whatever they wanted in the stores, collected together a large number of cattle and horses, and then moved off towards Hancock, Md. A small mounted force rode into Frederick, Saturday, paroled the sick soldiers in the hospitals, took a few horses, and left. No attack has been made so far on Harper's Ferry. Three thousand laborers have been called into service, and negroes freely impressed, for the thorough fortification of Baltimore. Nothing definite is published in regard to the movements of Gen. Lee's army, or of Hooker's.
