'HE ADVERTISER. i T. K. FISHER. EDITOR. iBKOWNYILLE, SAT CRD AT, MAyI 1S63. r The Nercs. ' The telegraphic reports in our col- rans, vith reference to Gen: Hooker's t iovements, would lead to the belief h&t the result would be most satis '. actory. Later reports, however, :eceived at the telegraph office in this Mace, indicate that Hooker met with reverse. The reporrs are contra .ictory, and uninteresting. The sub tancc is as follows: During Saturday nd Sunday the soldiers performed -nlliant feats of gallantry, and little loubt was entertained that Hooker ould force the enemy to leave their i i r i ntrenchments, and fight in an open ield.. On Monday the battle contin ued with fearful loss to the enemy ; :uor than four thousand prisoners lave been sent to Washington, and the oss to the enemv in killed, wounded ind prisoners, is estimated at not less ban twenty thousand, but during this time the river rose ten feet, one of the pontoons was destroyed, and the others were with difficulty kept from jeing washed away ; the Federals held ' heir position on Tuesda', but without my fighting. A council of War was ield, and it was decided to recross the river in the night, that with the jigh stage of the river it was impos sible to keep up communications with their base of supplies ; that although they might for a. time retain their position, the enemy would ultimately have them at their mercy. No statement is yet made out of the loss on our side, but it appears that we have inflicted a greater damage to the enemy than we have sustained. . The Union League. The proceedings of the meeting here on Saturday, will be found in another column. It was by far the largest gathering that ever took place in the county, if not in the Territory. The Union men from the westrrn portion of the county came in procession, with banners and martial music, making a caravan about a mile in length. Be, sides these, hundreds came in from every direction. At eleven o'clock a procession was formed at the foot of Main street, and marched to the Methodist church; but hot half were able to get in the building, the win dows were taken out, the doors left open, and as many remained outside as were in. Others, who could not get close enough to either see or hear, aiaprrseaana"SCaliered over'town. All afternoon the streets, and every Btore and shop in town, were crowded. The meetiog was addressed by Messrs. McPherson, Dobbins, Mason, and Daily, The speeches of Mr. Dobbina and Dr. McPherson, though very appropriate, were short. Mr. Mason and Mr, Daily, fully sustained their reputation as orators. We heard 6cores of the; people say they made the best speeches they ever heard. The vocal music was very good. Much credit i3 due to the Ladies who participated in the singing, and to Mr. II. Dye. The idea of having vocal music wag not suggested till a day or two previous to the meeting, and there was consequently no 'time for prepa ration. We thought, however, we never hear better singing. The meeting held to a late hour, and there was not time for one-tenth of those present to sign the Pledge. It was left at the office of ;the Secre tary, Mr. Dorsey, where all who desire can sign it. Copies cf the Pledge will be printed and sent to every precinct in the county. It is hoped that every Union man will sign it. Elot In Dayton, Ohio. We learn from dispatches received here to-day that Vallandigham was arrested at Dayton on Wednesday, on charge of treason, and taken to Cin cinnati, where he is undergoing trial. After his arrest, a mob of five or six hundred of his friends collected in Dayton; gutted the odce of one of the union;' papers of that city, the Journal, burned down the building, and with it eeTeral other adjoining houses ; cut the telegraph- wires, and burned the bridce8 on all th-e railroads leading to the city. " Gen. .Burnside, at Cincinnati, was immediately apprised of these high- handed measures! he ordered the arrest of the editor of the Empire, Vallandigliam's organ, and the sup presslon of the paper. What will be done i.ith the insurgonts remains to be seen. In peaceable times 'the ringleaders would have been sentenced to the Penitentiary,, and that perhaps, would tVve been sufficient punishment But in times like , these, they should be f hpt 4.QTn UVe nad dogs. Sa bold a move, subiectinrr themselves mostlit, at all hazards, pledging'to the res cortainlv to the renaltv of death, j r would never have been made, had they not fully believed they could sustain themselves. They certainly expected by burning the railroad bridges, that they could make a stand until the insurrection would spread to other places. If they had not felt assured that their necks were safe, they would not attempted such law lesness. . "We look upon this outbreak at Dayton as of more importance than any reverse that , could meet General Hooker, or any of the union armiea. It is the inauguration of Civil War in the North. For months past mutter ir.gs have been heard that the K. G. , , t t n b!e opportunity to resist the Govern ment and aid the Scuth. Their wide spread treasonable organization exists in every State and Territory in the Union. We have information from the Provost Marshal's Office in Saint Joseph, and other places, that even here in the Westin Northern Mis souri and Southern Iowa, they were only waiting suitable opportunity.' If the proper authorities now have the back-bone, it can be crushed in the bud As to Valiandigham, we only hope he may meet the fite he deserves. No sensible man in the world doubts that his whole energy has been devoted to aid rebellion, in a far more effective manner than if he had shouldered a musket and entered the Southern army. The time it at handwhen every person who publicly express disloyal sentiments should either be sent into southern lines, or shot. Proceedings of the Mass 3Icc(Ing In Brownville. Editor JTtbratla A'hertivrr : On Saturday last, (May 2d,) pursu ant to call, the loyal people of Nema ha County, assembled in mass meeting at Brownville, for the purpose of ortranizinij a Loyal National League for said county. The commodious Methodist Church Jiad been appropri ately prepared for the occasion, and . by 1 o'clock was filled to overflowing. Speakers having beeen invited, the Hon. 0. P. Mason, Hon! S. G. Diilyv and Rev. II. II. Dobbins, were present to address the meeting. A choir of ladies and gentlemen of Brownville, who had kindly consented to be present and sing some national songs, was also in attendance. At 1 o'clock, r. m., the meeting'was called to order by the appointment of Dr. John McPherson, President; Messrs. S. W. Kennedy, Er Phillips, Joepli Oulcmau, -n. V. Siuitn ana William S. Horn, Vice Presidents ; C. G. Dorsey, Secretary, and W. II. Hoover, assistant Secretary. The President then stated the object of the meeting, and the business of the day was opened with prayer by the Rev. D. L. Hughes. A motion was made by Judge Wheeler that a committee of five be appointed to draft resolutions," and prepare a pledge to be signed by the members of the League, whieh motion was adopted, and ' the President ap pointed C. G. Dorsey, C. W. Wheeler, E. L. Grubb, C. F. Haywood, and W. F. Leach, as said committee. Pending the report of the com mittee on resolutions, Rev. Mr. .Dob bins took the stand, and interested the audience by a short, but excellent and pointed address. Hon. 0. P. Mason was next intro duced to the audience, and addressed them at length in his usual vigorous and animated style, urging all men to lay aside all past party differences, and unite in a firm and unwavering support of the Government in its efforts to crush the rebellion. Hon. S. G. Daily next addressed the meeting, excoriating the rebel sympathizers of the North, and ren dering it very uncomfortable for any of that persuasion, who were present, lie told such that uin a short time they would be around trying to get certificates, and making affidavits, that they never had been sympathizers with the rebellion." The committee then offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted; Whereas, After, two year3 of the most patriotic sacrifices, on the part of our people; and the most desper ate trials on the part of our army to restore our shattered Union, and maintain our national honor, our government finds itself assailed by a class of persons at home, who would yield it, Judas like, into the hands of the enemy, or sully it by a dishonor able compromise with the hosts of treason, and who tire even now trying to induce the masses to resist its law ful authority in order to gain their hellish ends, therefore, Resolved, That we hereby express our firm and unalterable devotion to our government, and its laws, and declare our determination to stand by toration of its entire authority, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. Resolved, That we look upon all proprosals, from whatever source, to give up thi3 struggle on any other terms than. the unconditicnal submis sion of the traitors in arms against their country, a3 disgraceful to those who originate, and to those who, for a moment, lend an car to them. Resolved, That the present war was instigated by the madness of men, who had received nothing but good from the hands of our benign govern ment, which they would 'destroy; men who hate liberty and love op pression, and for the purpose, not only of possessing and holding the reins of power in their own hands, but ; of extending, perpetuating and eternising human bondage, and estab lishing the worst of de?potisms on the ruins of a demolished free Govern ment; and that it is the imperative duty of the loyal States, casting aside all minor differences, to combine all their wisdom and best experience, all their skill and bravery, all the avail able resources of men, means and credit, in concentrated and organized efforts to crush out, as speedily as possible, this wicked rebellion, and restore peace again to our land. . Resolved, That we have heard with pride of the gallent conduct of the 1st Nebraska Volunteers, in their bravery on the manv battlefields, and cheerful and patient endurance of the many privations incident to -the life of a soldier, and we do herebv tender to them our heartfelt thanks therefor. The committee also reported the following pledge, which was adopted: We, the undersigned citizens of the United States, hereby associate our selves under the name and title of the Loyal National League. We pledge ourselves to an uncon ditional loyalty to the government of the United States ; to an unwavering support of its efforts to suppress the rebellion, and to spare no endeavor to maintain, unimpaired, the national unity, both, in principle, and Territo rial boundary. The primary object of this League is, and shall be, to bind together all loyal men, of all trades and profes sions, in a common union, to maintain the power, glory, and integrity of the nation. A vote of thanks was tendered to the speakers and to the choir. The meeting was in all respects a perfect success, being the largest meeting ever held in the county on any occasion. Everybody seemed in a good humor, and overflowing with patriotism; and if any copperheads were present, they kept exceedingly quiet, and probably didn't enjoy it very much. During the meeting several national songs were sung by the choir, in a largely in the success of the meeting. The president gave notice that all who desired to do so, could sign the pledge after the adjournment of the meeting, and it then being late in the afternoon, the meeting adjourned subi ject to the call of the president. JOHN McPHEKSON, Prest. C. G. Dorset, Sec'y. , BY TELEGRAPH. FRIDAY'S REPORT. New York, 1ft- The Tribune's bull etin announces that Hooker's army has crossed the Rappahannock iu four places. The enemy was confounded and we capt ured their pickets, reserves,, and 400 prisoners. The Tribune's account states that on Monday the 11th, 12th and 15th army corps moved to Kelly's ford, they reached there on Tuesday morning. A brigade has been guarding the ford for the past two week. We crossed on pon toons, superintended by Gen Howard. No enemy was found, but a few pickets Stoneman's cavalry crossed the next morning. A wagon "train was parked near Banks' Ford and it va3 evident that a connexion would be forced from there to the troops at Kelley's Ford. From 11 to 1 o'clock, irregular firing was heard from the direction of Germauia, on the Rappadan, the enemy was trying to check the rapid march of our troops. At noon on Tuesday, the 1st, 3d and oth army corps broke camp, and at daylight on Wednesday the enemy's pickets. and reserves were captured and two bridges built 4 miles below Fredericksburg. 20 men of the 119th 'Pennsylvania were wounded. . A third bridge was construct ed, and a sufficient force to hold it cross ed two miles further down. Reynolds' first army corps constructed a bridge in the face of the enemy's rifle pits, and af fected a crossing. Our artillery fire was too severe for the enemy, who fled, leav ing ,87 prisoners from the 12th Georgia and 6th Louisiana regiments. Thiy re port Jackson commanding their right win. Gen. Couch's 2d division was in the rear of Bank's fordwithfull facilities for crossing. A jroed road has been constructed between the Ranks' and Uni ted States . fords. The corps which, Crossed at Kelley's ford, is moving to wards Chancellorsville, South of Freder icksburg. New York, May 1. Accounts which are believed to be reliable, states that in the recent raid to Morgantown, Pa., the rebels were 2,000 strong, all the cavalry under the guerrilla Jenkins. They shot Lieut Grining, of the 1st Virginia (Loy al) regiment, who was visiting his home en a furiough. They stol 50 horses and all available property. No women or children were molested. They went South on Tuesday, after sending out for aging parties, who stole hundreds of horses at other places. There is reason I to' believ.) that their object was to plun der, and enforce the rebel conscription act in West Virginia. The Tribune has received a letter from near Vicksburg which asserts that only one 'of the transports the Tigress, was sunk, in passing the rebel batteries on the 231, and she breached below the rear "of our works. The officers and crew all escaped, The other five got up safely. The Tribune consequently says the report that four of them were sunk and two disabled, is untrue. PiTTSDxrao, 1 Great excitement to day, in consequence of reports from Mor gantown that the rebels defeated Col. Mulligan at Fairmount, were returning to Morgantown in force, having received reinforcements from Beverly.. This informtion was contained in a letter fram Maj4 Shoemaker to Gen. How. A letter from Col.. Shoemaker confirms and ?ays unless reenforcements are immedi ately sent from here the whole district will be at the mercy of th enemy. A ineeiing was held at Gen. How's office, at which Gen. Pitrpont. Gen. Wiley, Col. Cross and the Commander of tho Post here and several of the most influ ential citizens wers present. After ear nest discussion, it was decided nothing cculd be done, for want of proper au thority. ' ..The tea 'o'clock train to-day from UniontowQ, brought Sergent Boston of the Provost guard, who went a3 far as Morgantown, he states that the rebels number 4,000. A special messenger arrived here last night from Greensboro, 10 miles from Morgantown, with intelligence that Mul ligan had attacked a unall force under the rebel leader Jones, and was getting the better of him, when the enemy was re inforced by a large force unier Imbo don by Evansville Pikes and by Hermann by Indian creek, so that Mulligan's force had to retire. No troops have left for there ,but two regiments'fully equipped cculd be'sent immediately, should Gov. Kirkham order. Philadelphia, May 1. The Bui letin extra has the1 following: We have no dispatches relative to move ments of the army beyond the Rappa hannock,' but are able to assure our readers that everything is going on favorable in Gen. Ilookor's army. Later. Though not from official sources, it isreported that Hooker with 50,000 men had battled with the rebels bcyong the Rappahannock. W e have no particulars, but the Union troops are victorious. 'New York, April 28. The Trib une's Hilton Head correspondence, of the 20th? represents the Monitors and army ready for a movement, and in deed one seems actually in progress. He says before the close of this week all the ironclads will again be over the bar at Charleston, and an attack mu3t soon be mado in connec tion with the land forces. WAsnrNGTON, May 1. The Nation al Republican, of this afternoon, pub lishes semi-official dispatches from General Banks, dated near St. Martinsville,- 17, from which it appears that when he left Baton Rouge three regiments of Colored troops remained for its defense. As the results among others, General Bank's expedition is accomplishing a march of over 300 m'loa, Lotting the enemjr iu three battles, two on land, and one on Grand Lake, dispersing th3 rebel army, and utterly destroying the rebel navy. Also capturing the soundries of the t?nemy at Franklin and New Iberia, and demolishing their salt works ten mile3 west ot the. latter place, capturing a camp and equipage of the enemy, also several guns, 2,100 prisoners, and so deranging the plans of. the enemy, that they cannot for some months, if ever, organize. Our losses in the two land battles, are between 0 and 7 hundred- The despatches say that we have not only destroyed the army and navy of the enemy, but captured their stores. Wc have also their best officers in our possession. Cairo, May 1. Steamer arrived to day with dates from Miliken's Bend to Sunday evening. Nearly the whole army at that poiut is in motion. They march across tents and bag gage left behind soldiers taking six day's rations. Two tugs, having in tow four barge3 of hay, run the batterie3at Vicksburg Saturday night. They were not fired on. It is stated on what is considered reliable author ity, that; Gen. Austerhaus now occu- pies Grand Gulf. It is thought there are sanitary stores atMilliken's Bend of which considerable quantities run the blockade. SATURDAY'S REPORT. New York, May 2. The Tribune's correspondence says a gentleman who left h redencksburg W ednesday evening represents the citizens as fleing iu every direction. It is believed the city will be shelled and all property destroyed. A complete panic prevails through the whole country. Stewart's whole cavalry force were in Culpepper watching Stone man. - They have all been intercepted by infantry, and if Stoneman bestirs himself, he will capture the whole concern. A brigade at the United States ford, barely escaped, leaving all their camp equipage behind. ., : Wheeler's brigade marched out from Fredericksburg, intending to check the advance of Hooker's army, but hear ing the magnitude of the advent, ordered back his brigade, which fled panic strick en back to their fortifications. Generals Lee and Jackson are in command at Fredericksburg. Longstreet is at Suf folk. A. K. Hill and Piketr are in N. Carolini. Four brigades are 3 miles above the city with orders to fall back to the rifle pits on the approach of the Yan kees. The train from Richmond yesterday failing to arrive at Fredericksburg yes terday it is believed the railroad has been cut by a portion of our cavalry sent out for that pur pose. Troops from Gennania Pass and United States ford have joined. Thus far all's well. " ' . N. Y. May 2, The, Commercial Ad vertiser says, we have received informa tion from a source which we know u en titled to a high degree of credit which induces hope that Gen. Hooker has cut or the retreat of the rebel forces from Fred ericksburg, and that they may be captured or destroyed. While our columns hive crossed the Rappahannock and others re main before the city, it is believed Gen. Stoneman's cavalry have gotbetweeu the rebels and Richmond, and will cut off their supplies, and arrest their retreat in that direction. It is also understood that a strong diversion has been made from Suffolk in the direction of Richmond, and that it is by no means impossible that the rebel capitol may, before the close of an other week, be invested by Union troops. Chicago, May 2. Memphis dispatches of the.30th says Grierson'i cavalry, which started from Western Tenn. has penetra ted Central Mississippi, threatening Col umbus and Grenada.

There are facts connect- j up 5 miles of track and capturing a rebel supply train, thus cutting off all commu nication with Richmond. Our news this morning from the Rip pahannock b most cheering. Severe fihtin: had been going on for two days. The rebels had been repulsed at every point, and Gen. Honker was confident of complete success. The following is the very latest: New York, 8:30 a. m., May 3 The Tribune has just issued an extra as fol lows: Our news by mail from the Rappahan nock up to Suuday morning say, at that time our left wing was in possesion of Fredericksburg, and. of the first line of redoubts on the hill behind it, and was feeling its way to the second line. The river was crossed and the redoubts car ried with ease and very slight loss of life. The rebels had marched away in the di rection of Chancellorviile to attack our right wing there posted, leaving at firt 1Q.000; but subsequently not more than 5,000 to 7,000 in their works, as was as certained by a rteonnoi;ance from Law's balloon. . Thvi great portion of our Fa!n:ou!h batteries were engaged on Sunday wi:h the rebel batteries, firing acrois the river and city. Ihe firing' both or muMce'ry and cannon -.ding on the right in the di rection of Chahcellorsville, are very heavy. Thb enemy have been forced to fight on ground of Hooker's own choosing as he promised. his soldiers. Tt was be lieved in both wings that Stoneman's ex pedition to cut the railroad between the rebels and Richmond has proved success ful, thus cutting. off the only path of re treat. So confident was Hooker at Fal mouth, of success, that in conformity with his order a force had already commenced rebuilding bridges over the Rappahan nock. The troops are in fine spirits and everything looks propitious. New York, May 3. The following is from the correspondence of the Tribune, dated Head Quarters Army of the Poto mac, April 30th: The 5th, 11th and 12th corps are in possession of Chancellorsville ten miles west of Fredericksburg. After crossing west of Fredericksburg at Crooked Run, a small stream three miles beyond the river, we encountered the enemy, .drove him before us and captured a number of prisoners without damage to U3. Our col umn then moved rapidly on until it ap proached the Rapidan, and when within a mile of it our men were fired upon from rifle pits. Becoming intimidated they fled and were charged by. us when a sharp skirmish ensued at Germanic Mills, where a bridge was in process of erection by the rebels with a view of aggressive move ments. After a lapse of about fifteen minutes, the enemy, consisting of 12S men surrendered, with one man killed and several wounded. Our loss was one killed. By 10 o'clock the 11th corps had crossed and was encamped. and this morn ing started on the march to Chancellors ville. On approaching Wilderness, about five miles on the way, Gen. Slocum's col umn was fired upon by artillery, which resulted harmlessly, and did not check our advance. Half an hour afterwards'a messenger reached us from Gen. Mead, informing Gen. Slocum that he had occu pied Chancellorsville and wes waiting for him to form a junction; Orders were given to advance on the receipt of this cheering intelligence, and not long after wards the General's staff entered the place. Two rebel brigades had been threthe night prnvious,aud an attempt had been made to throw up earthworks, but oui sudden appearance caused them to evacuate. We move on Frtderiks burg to-morrow.
