ts real storm broke forth above Banks's ford, and culminated in the splendid fight and triumphant victory at Chancellorsville. Gen. Lee said the enemy's position could not have been stronger. They had three lines of entrenchments. It is said McClellan was there superintending the ditching. In every attack our men were successful. The enemy were driven in panic from their breastworks. General Posey's command alone took three miles of entrenchments. On Friday, McLaws's troops attacked and our improved artillery.--Major Latimer, with two batteries, drove the men from a Yankee battery opposite the Bernard House and made them abandon their guns. Major Braxton, at Chancellorsville, twice compelled the Yankees to leave their guns. McClellan's boast of superior artillery is exploded.

ese he met at Cross Keys and Port Republic on the 8th and 9th of June, when he obtained another decided victory. The following characteristic dispatch announces his victory: Near Port Republic, 9th, Via Staunton, June 10th, 1862. To S. Cooper, Adj't Gen'l: Through God's blessing, the enemy near Port Republic was this day routed, with the loss of six pieces of his artillery. (Signed,) T. J. Jackson, Major-Gen'l Commanding. This, for the time, closed his operations in the Valley, and his command was ordered to join Gen. Lee, which it did in time to participate in the series of battles which delivered Richmond from the siege under which it had been laid by McClellan. In all these battles Gen. Jackson bore a conspicuous part, as he did subsequently at Cedar Run, Manassas Plains, Harper's Ferry, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. At Chancellorsville fate ordered that his useful career should be closed, and over his loss a bleeding country is now called to mourn.
