Philadelphia, 9th May.— The Bulletin of this city publishes the following highly important intelligence : — " This evening we learn from the editor of the Enquirer that one of their correspondents, who has jast returned from Washington, informed him that General Hooker had re-crossed the Rappahannock in force yesterday, the men carrying eight day's rations. We also learn, from another source, which is vouched for as reliable, that Gen. Keyes had taken Richmond, having advanced upon it via Yorktown,and that the Federal flag now waves over the rebel capital. If this intelligence be true, General Hooker's falling back was a ruse, and the real advance upon Richmond was made while Lee's army vas on the Rappannock. If General Stoneman has cut ofi General Lee, as is reported, it will be a work of time for Lee to reach the rebel capital, and in the meantime General Hooker is on his heels. " Gold has been falling rapidly today, and this fact has probably resulted from the important movements reported. It is reported that private advices have been received in this city from Fortress Monroe, stating that 10,000 Federal troops arrived there on the sth instant, as reinforcements, and were immediately moved forward for an attack on Richmond." New York, May 11. — A special telegram to the Post, from Washington, says the reported capture of Richmond by Keyes is contradicted here. Grafton, Va., May 11. — The rebels under Jackson, Imboden, Jones, and Jenkins are retreating towards the Southwest mountains. There are now no rebels on the line of the railroads in Western Virginia. Washington, May 11. — It is stated that the rebels have already a large force engaged in building the Orange and Alexandria Railroad Bridge over the Rapidan, destroyed in tho late raid. Information from the Nanseniond represents the river clear of rebel batteries and sharpshooters. The steamer is running to Suffolk as usual. New York, May 1 1. — A special telegram to the daily press says General Dix's corps de armee, with a heavy column, under General Naglee, from North Carolina, will soon be threatening the rebel lines of communication south of Richmond. ftew York, May 12.— A Fortress Monroe letter of the Gth says an advance is imminent, as several thousand troops from Suffolk arrived yesterday and to-day they are in transport, and will proceed up the river to White House. The gunboats have cleared for the Panunkey River. Philadelphia, May 12. — A special telegram from Washington to the Post says Hooker's army has not rec?o>sed the river. His personal arrangements, however, indicate that he expects to be engaged in some new enterprise soon. An officer who arrived from Falmouth this morning, also states the army of the Potomac had not left that place. General Hooker has issued a general order, tendering his congratulations to the army for the achievements of the last seven days. He says, if it has not accomplished all that was expected, the reasons are well known to the army. It is sufficient to say, they were of a character not to be foreseen or prevented by human sagacity or resources. In withdrawing from the south bank of the Rappahannock, before offering a general battle to the adversary, the army has given renewed evidence of its confidence itself, and its fidelity to the principles it represents, in fighting at disadvantage. We have the credit to have taken from the enemy five thousand prisoners, fifteen colors, and captured and brought off seven pieces of artillery ; placed hors de combat eighteen thousand of his troops ; destroped his depots, filled with vast amount of stores, damaged his communications, and filled his country with fear and consternation. The Richmond Enquirer notes the rebel surgeons' report stating the rebel loss to be nine hundred killed, seven, thousand wounded, and twelve hundred prisoners. The same paper has the following from Jackson, Mississippi : — " It is reported that Grant's army had been divided into three columns, and are fortifying the town of Opelousas ; one remaining at Atchafalaya, and the other at Baton Rouge. Banks has seized all the negroes on the Governor's plantation. Five Federal gunboats passed Natchez on Saturday night, and four ascended the Red River." Washington, May 12. — A report was current yesterday that the enemy had left his formideble position along the i heights, but close observation last evening disclosed the fact that their numbers there had not been diminished. At the time of our crossing to the north side of the river, it is believed that only two divisions of the enemy's forces remained in our front, near Chancellorville, as its rear guard. Notwithstanding reports, we had not recrossed the Rappahannock up to Monday a noon. The Richmond Enquirer of the 7th ' says that Colonel Edgar's battalion, 800 strong, at Lewisburg, Greensbury county, were surprised by a thousand Yankee cavalry, late on Friday night last. Edgar rallied his men and beat the Federals off, killing eleven and capturing seven wounded and four not Wounded.

A special telegram in the Herald, says the Richmond Dispatch of the 9th, publishes official information received, announcing the death of Major-Geneial Van Dorn, at Spring Hill, on the 7th.
