(Abridged from the Toronto Dailies.) \v e gather from the Times’ correspon- dent, that Stonewall Jackson, on Satur day afternoon, attacked Gen. Howard’s. 11th corps, with 40,000 men. The corps disgraCelully abandoned their posrtion be- hind their breaslworks and rushed, panic- stiuck, towarks headquarters. Hooker got immediately into saddle and cidcred General Berry ‘ to throw his men into the breach, receive llie enemy on your bayo~ nets, and don’t fire a shotâ€"they can’t see you.’ At the. ‘ Double’ they checked the enemy with the point of the bayonet, wno retired behind the bri'astwmks just 1 taken from Howard‘s corps. The Federal batteries opened a tremenduous fire which continued far into night. Cen. Ple’ason- ton also checked 3 flying battery of a dozen pieces, drew up his little brigade of cavalry with drawn sabres to protect the guns, Iiad them double sliolted with canis- ter and sWept the enemy‘s position mur- derously. In this charge of the rebels, they took from the cow-nrdly Dutchmen, as the Times col-respondent styles them, 12 pieces of cannon. past IIooker‘s headquarters in panic, many members ofstafi, Nllll pistols and sabros, « ,about 1,000 killed and wounded. .1 The Worlds correspbndent Says the '1 he Germans fiedi .n ..- , . - . ». not»: '-u.~‘.t..a ~ nu. .

John A. MacDonald moved a vote of non-confidence in Friday last. He reviewed the con- duct of the members of the Admi- nistration on all the most important questions. He stigmatized their bad faith on the lntercolonial Rail- way negotiations, and quoted from the dispatch of the Colonial Secre- tarv to show that the Home authoâ€" rities came to the conclusion that the Canadian Government intended to render fruitless all attempts at negociation. He showed their in- consistency and want of principle. Stoneman’s cavalry. in the rebel rear, are said to have cut the Virginia Central I road ; also, the Frederickshurg and ltich- mond road,near Milford stationsouth-west of Chancellorville, tearing up five miles of track, and capturing a rebel supply train- thus cutting off all rebel communication day night the "Federals slept on their arms; and early on Saturday morning re- newed this mosbobstinate light. A des- perate hand to hand conflict ensued. and the carnage perfectly frightful. Officers say the dead and wounded rebels cover the ground in heaps, the rebels literally throwing themselves upon the iniizzles of our guns. The engagement lasted from 5.30 to 8.45 a ni., when, being out ofanimunition, our forces fell back in good order to Chan- cellor House, where the contest was again maintained with greal havoc to the enemy and considerable loss to ourselves. The vicmity of Chancellor house Was now the theatre" of the fight, and I'lookcr maintained his headquarters there till 10 o’clock, when it was burned by a rebel shell. In the meantime l-Iookcr has es- tablished a new line. Our forces were withdrawn to that front. and at 11.30 mus- ketry ceased firing. The engagement lasted six hoursâ€"the most terrific of the war. Our artillery literally slaughtered the viii-my. Many of our batteries lost heavily, but the guns Were all saved. The enemy are now no longer in our rear, but directly in our front, between us and our forces in Fredericksburg. We occupy a fortified and entrenched position. The enemy has gained some. but at a sacrifice of five out .of seven divisions. On Sunday afternoon the reliefs made several attempts to force our lines, several remarking that the Hon. Mr. Si- cotte had, in 1858, made an un- answera-ble speech against the Double Majority, while in 1862 he joined airAdministi‘ation havrng iliat’pi'inciple lor its basis, and giv- ing a deserved castigation to Mr. McDougall and the. other Western members for their rccreancy on Representation by Population. He pointed out their UIIII'USHVIil'llllDESS in abandoning the Double Majoritv in the only case that had appeared which demanded its exmciseâ€"the Upper CariadaSeoai'ate School Bill, which they now forced on the coun with Richmond. . NEW YORK, May 5.â€"-~Tlie Washingâ€" ton Republican, in awposteript yesterday p.m., says our advices, up to noon lo'day. tare llial the vicmry of Gen. I-Iooker’s army is more complete than was at first supposed. All that the most sanguine. could hope for has been realized. \Ve congratulate the army and country upon this most important success. There are facts connected with this ,iiioveinent which cannot be at present station, but when it is completed they will develop tliemselves'and be appreciated. The Bulletin has i~siied an extra con- taining news from to day‘s Washington a speech of two hours length, on papers. _ . _ ' Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee is a prisoner in try against the Wishes ofa i'najority Washington. of its representatives. He retriark- ed that ihe friends of the Adminis- tration themselves had passed a greater vote of censure on the 'Go- vernment than any which the On- position could pass upon it. even if the motion which he then made was carried by a large majority.â€" The course of the Ministerial sup porters on the School question, plainly showed that nobody placed any confidence. in the Government, and that it was kept in power only from a fear lest the. former Adminis- tration might re-enter office if it should chance to be defeated. The whole country looks forward There is a reported capture of orer 5,000 prisoners. (By Mail to New York.) SUFFOLK, May 4.â€"--At nine o’clock yesterday morning Gen.

NEW YORK, May 5.â€"â€"A letter from Falinouth, dated Sunday, 10 o‘clock eve.- ning, states that Gen. tic-dgwii-k attacked the heights of Fredericksburg and gallant- 1y carried them by storm. capturing the 16th and 18th rebel l\’ll‘.‘l~.§jlpl i‘egiineiits,i one company of the faitioUs \Vnshington) artillery ofNew Orleans, and part of Alex- ander's battery. in all right guns and over one thousand prisoners. ' The storming force was Pratt’s Iighl~ division, aided by (,it’lll’l‘ill Gibbon. who actually planted the stars and stripes over -, the rebel works before the latter had Ceas- firing upon our charging column. Our loss is moderate, Sedgwick afterwards engaged the rebels, drove them back, and at six pm. on Sun day had advanced to the brick church . four and a-half miles on the plank road| towards Chaecellorville.

Is the Globe asleep? Why unmind- ful of its former course, does it al- low jobbery and corruption to pass unrebuked? How different from what it was in the days gone by, when it uttered no uncertain sound, but exposed witlrcharacteristic ve- hemencei the "misdeeds of selfish. corrupt or incompetent Ministers! The following transaction deserves its attention: . ' . From the Quebec Chronicle we learn that Mr. Gall, from his seat in the House last week, revealed an affair which places the Ministry in a very unenviab‘le position,whether We look upon it asilie result of corruption or imbecility. We have no alternative but to accept. the position which this plainly indi- cates, and to believe that they are either knaves or fools : their friends will no doubt accept the latter as the n'iore creditable to ihem,though impartial men may judge other- wise of such political weathercocks ~ and needy adventurers. Messrs. Edmonstone, Allan 81‘. Co . the proprietors of the Montreal line of Ocean Sieamships, made. an offer to the late Government bind- ing thei'nselves to carry the mails for a certain sum. Will it be credited that the present admini- stration, thouin perfectly aware of this offer. agreed to give the Com- pany a sum amounting to £44000 3. year more than they had tliein- j selves is asked. The Ministry thus paying away this large sum" needlessly, while it is devoting,r all its attention to 'i‘eirenchincnt in small matters. How many unfor- tunate clerks will have to be dis- missed in order to effect an annual saving of £44,000 ! While Ministers could not deny that they were aware of the. offer made by the Company at the time they made their arrangements, it was truly despicable for them to fall back on a quibble for the. pur- pose of giving‘ytlic Statement an apparent denial. ’ Their excuse, for so it really _is+i‘ciSIIIV(es itsele into the following assertions:â€" First, they were not aware that the Company had made an oflicial of- fer of pcrfoririingr the Mail Service for the. amount referred to. Second, they :th‘I‘C not oflicially aware that such an offer had been made. We have formed a Very (,lifliei'ent opinion of the. men who now go. vern us from those who imagine that they are. such a set. of block- lieads, as to give away to Messrs. Edmonsione. Allan & Co. the large sum of £44,000 'without receiving an equivalent for it; but whether any of that money will be devoted to improve. the prospects of Messrs. McDougall, Foley and McGee, we cannot now determine. Suffice it to say, that they have much need of a share of it, and let us hope, if it does come in their way, that they will use it with discretion, for bankrupts and spendihrilts are not often safe guides in economy and retrenchment. rO't.â€"â€"-â€"‘ AN APPEAL TO THE AMERICAN PEO- PLE, AND A PROTEST AGAINST THE AMEiiICAN PEoPLic, TOGETHER WITH 'I'nnnr: LETTERS IN REFER- ENCE To THE GREAT AMERICAN QUESTION, " PEACE on WAR.” Torton'ro i i W‘.

For iii- lation to this war, as the trunk of a tree does to'its branches. The war may have sprungr frtii‘ri other sources but it was slavery which gave birth to this source. This is so obvious I to every one that we may at once put the finale to itâ€"Quod and de- monstratum. It is sheer folly to expect (we never, and'never will. hope for it) the subjugation of the South by the North; and whether Mr. Monk be right as to the [upper data to found a peace; certain- it is that the. quicker this is looked for and found by the American people the better it will be for themselves and the whole world, and" the sooner will the world acknowledge. their restored sanity.

The first is. that it is, but just that they (the North) should bear their part of the expense, asthey have alreadyreaped their share of the profits. , | The second is that, as a matter of finance or commercial policy. it. would be needless expensive to agree to pay. their share towards compensating the.

The third is that, slavery once eradicated, the great barrier be- tween North and Scuth is broken down ; and however much sepa- rated we may .-be for the present, our coriimermal and social inteiest and advantage will most certainly ultimately lead us willingly and cordially to unite again. It. will be obvious to the intolli~ (gent reader. that if the ‘boneof contention, is .thus given upon . these terms. we shall have present peace and future union ;‘and all the blood and treasure which the war has already cost will not have been spent in vain.

On Friday, May 1st. about noon, at calairiitous fire broke out in the (1Wt.‘lIIDg-Il()llse of Wm. Trench, Blacksmith, Elgin Mills. It ap- pears that the chimney leading from the. cook-stove was on a level with the slope of the roof and it is con- jectured that a spark had fallen on the shingles, which rapidly in- creased to a flame, spreading steal- thily over the dry shingles till it lwas beyond the power of man to jrestiain it. Within an hour the house was razed to the ground, so swift did'the devouring element work its work ofdestruction. Men with strong arms and willing hands were present, and though they could and did save the greater part of the furniture, yet tor want of the proper machinery they could do nothing to extinguish the fire.â€" It was most aggravating to see the good house fall to utter (and as re- gards the duty of the citizens of Richmond.

There are few things more trying to a man's tem- I per than to find that actually occur which as a probability he foresaw and did all in liispower to prevent, and yet to find himself quite. pow- erless in the hands of a community without one philanthropic motive inducing: them to co-opcrate toge- ther for the good of themselves as individuals, and for the good of so- ciety collectively. Involuntarily. and with or without his desire, every man is a member of society and amenable to all the duties and liabilities of such a fraternity; there is no possibility of flinching ; there is no exemption,no exception ; high and low. rich and poor, all are cul- pable when there is blame, and all share in the praise where there is merit.
