TTIE WAR.
There is some significance in the news .
from the front. The telegram of the Se
cretary of War, announcing the death of
General SEDGWICK, states that General
GRANT hail provided his whole army with
rations for 'Several days, and was mov
ing on without his supply trains. This
feet, in connection with the certain re
treat of LEE, indicates that the army
will be supplied hereafter by the York
river, near the head of which : its base
will be established. The failure of the
enemy to accept battle at Spottsylvania
Confirms this simposition General LEE
was forced into a heavy engagement, but
has apparently succeeded in continuing his
retreat.
Another elte. , iing statement is that of the.
fight between the forces under General
Swim' and the rebels - commanded by
BENGRL•GARD. - So much depended - on the
movements of this , portion of the enemy's
troops, that we are thoroughly gratified to
know that BEAT:TIEGARD-WaS driven; back.
toward Peterbufg. : That he is thus effec
tually prevented from joining LEE is greatly
in our favor. Of the other - reports of a&
'vantages gained onthe Peninsula, we have
no positive knowledge. There is nothing
improbable, hoWever, in any of the rumors.
Again we mar repeat, that everything is
encouraging.
Rebei Outrages.!
Yesterday we published an abstract of'
a report hy Messrs. WADE and Vroocu, of
the Committee on the Conduct of the War,
upon the Condition of the returned pri
soners at Annapolis. The examination
Dade has convicted the rebel authorities at
Richmond of a systematic cruelty to their
prisoners unequalled in the history of mo
dern war. The committee is convinced
that the rebel leaders are' determined "to
reduce on soldier's by privations anti ex-i
postue to such a condition that they never
will be able to render effective. service in
the field." To carry out this barbarous
policy they have been stripped of their
clothing, C).p0, , ,,1 to pie rigor of winter
without shelter, robbed of their money.
and deliberately starved. The same day
that we pnbliAteti this statement appeared
an account of an attack made upon our
wounded and sick soldiers by the citizens
of Fredericksburg, Virginia, which is addi
tional evidence of the brutality of the
enemy. tinder the guard of fourteen
armed soldiers, a number of disabled
men were passing through that city,
on their way to the rear, and were actually
fired upon by these people, to whom it
seems the larts of God and man are equally
unknown. That slavery has brutalized the
South, every day makes plainer ; yet there
are men in the North who even apologize
for the massacre at Fort Pillow, and talk
of the exaggeration of an infamy which has
been proven again and again. Gen. But
inn understood these things when he hung
IkitLFORD at New Orleans, and ruled the
traitors around him with a rod of iron.
Major General Sedgwicli.
Already this campaign has been fatal to
officers distinguished in either army. To
day we regret to add to the melancholy list
of our slain generals the name of Major
General JouN SEDGWICR, commander of
the 6th Army Coms,, who was instantly
killed in a skirmish near Spottsylvania.
General SE - Do-v.lex - throughout the war has
been prominently known as an able and
energetic officer. He was• twice offered
the command , of the Army of the Poto
mac, it is said, but was contented with
a subordinate position. He was a native of
Connecticut, and entered the West Point
Academy from that State in 1833. He was
a member of the. same class with - A - EN - RV
W. BENHAM, Euw. D. TOWWSEND, JosKen
HOOKER, BRAXTON BRAGG, WrrxrAm W.
ItIACEALL, Jo= C. PEMBERTON, and others
now serving in the Federal and Confede
rate armies. Graduating in 1837, he was
assimied to the 2d Artillery, ranking as
second lieutenant by brevet. He was
promoted first lieutenant April 19, 1839.
in the -111frieart war he took an active
part, being brevetted captain August
20th, 1847, " for gallant and .meri
torious conduct in the battles of Con
treras and Churubusco," and brevetted
major September 13th of the same year for
similar conduct in the battle of Chapul
tepee. He received his full commission as
captain in January, 1849, and as major in
the Ist Cavalry in March, 1855. On the
25th of April, 1861, he was promoted to be
colonel of the 4th Cavalry, and on the 31st
of August following was appointed briga
dier general of volunteers. He was appoint
ed major general July 4, 1862, and wounded
in one of the battles on the Potomac of the
- same year. In his death the country has
lost one of its best soldiers, and the army a
veteran leader.
General Wadsworth.
General JAMES S. WADSWORTH Was One
of those soldiers who was influenced by no
personal ambition in taking active part 'in
the war. lie entered the service as an aid
on the staff of General McDowELL ; was
appointed a brigadier general in 1861;
nerved as Military Governor of Washing
ton ; fought bravely at Gettysburg ; was
the candidate of the Union. party in New
York for the Governorship in 1862, and
would have been elected had the soldiers
bad the opportunity of voting ; was killed
in the battle of last Friday, while gallantly
riding at the head of his division and
urging on 'his men. This career has no
stain. It was inspired wholly by courage
and duty.
A writer in the Resting Post has given
Some anecdotes of General WApswortrn
Which deserve to be recorded_ Three
weeks ago, he saw the General in his camp
near Culpeper, preparing his division for
the field. He had the reputation of taking
good care of hiS men. At this time the
writer heard him relate the following capi
tal story, which shows the spirit of the
Man better than a - volume of biographical
comment :
g‘l remember, during the march through Mary
land, before the battle of South Mountain, we
passed over a tract of country extremely ritgged and
stony, and I raw not only men but officers walking
along with bleeding feet. The 'liens , shoes gave out
entirely. It hurt my feelings more than I can tell
you:to see the good fellows trudge along so. We
came to a town on the line of march, and I, who was
riding at the head of the column, spurred ahead to
see if there were hint some shim stores where I could
purehase what were needed for tho men. All the
ohops r ere doted ; the first men I saw were two sit-
Ulm outside of a closed shop.
cg Are there any shoe stores in tills town?" I asked.
They replied : in a gruff way, that they could not
tell—there might he and 'there might not. I told
them that I wanted to buy rlitst fur my troops, who
were barefooted. They replied they guessed I
Would'nt get many.
"At that," said the General, "I got angry. Said
I, there are two pairs of shoes, at any rate, which
I see on your feet. Take them off instantly! I
Shouted to them. They were obliged to do it.
went through the town, and took the shoes off every
mauls feet I could see ; and thus I raised about two
hundred pairs in all. One fine old fellow, a miller,
whom I met, I did not deprive of his own pair ;
rode up to him and asked if he—had any shoes he
could spare me, describing the pitiable condition of
my men. The old man Said: 'I don't know if
there's any shoes in the house or not, but,' looking
down at his feet, 'here's a pair you're welcome to, ,
at any rate. , 1 tvoald not let him take them off, but
he gave me some from his house. All the rest I
stripped,"

LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL."
WARTINC4TON7 May 10, 1864
To sift the truth from a multitude of ru
mors is very like separating the gold from
the dross, although not nearly so Certain as
the last surely inevitable process. We
lived yesterday in a maze of rumors. They
came fast and they came thick. Vague,
indefinite, unshaped, and too frequently
improbable, it was several hours before the
exact condition of affairs was ascertained.
From ten in the morning until
_four in the
aftefuoon the only ascertained fact was
that. no intelligence of disaster had even
been surmised. About four, however, Se
cretary Stanton sent his short despatch to
Senator Collamer, that "he had heard
from Generals Grant and lee. They are
on to Richmond. Lee is in full re
treat, and Hancock, Sedgwiek, War
ren, and Burnside arc close on his
heels," - which said despatch being read
by the venerable Senatorial Vermonter,
the Senate, on the motion of that working_ .
man of the body, Mr. Fessenden, of Maine,
who generally resists all adjournments, did
instantly and rejoicingly adjourn. Where
there is so much to expect, we dare not
forget, also, that there is at least as much to
overcome. Where every loyal heart paL
pitates, and every loyal appetite hungers
for the possession of a great prize, we must
not forget that every traitor hand will be
nerved to cheat - us out of that possesaion.
Wait, then, till the great orator writes vic
tory-with his pen, as he is carving it out
with his sword ; wait for Grant's own
Word—that word, so long delayed in the
Southwest, but which, when written and
sent at last, was sweeter .than the honey
of the bees of Hybla. Should we con
otter the rebel capital, and beat: back
the rebel army, capturing its columns
and cutting off its connections, we shall
then better realize the eloquence of a de
spatch from Lieutenant General Grant to
-PreEident Lincoln. What would such a
inessa,7e. prove and secure ? Look at the re
snits : The opening of the great gate lead
ing to the seceded sections to the Union
arms and Union principles, and the de
liverance of thousands from starvation and
slavery; the release of nearly six thou- -
sand Union men, so long confined in the
noisome Richmond jails, and their return .
to the hearts that have wearily ached for
them, and the hearths upon which the em
bers of hiope are almost buried in the ashes
of despair ; the established fact that the
colored soldiers will fight like heroes,
and not less so because their war-cry has
become "Remember Pillow" and "Re-
Member Plymouth," These, without count
ing a thou Sand other considerations; are
all-sufficient to give a savor of the feast at
which a loyal empire will sit should Gen.
Grant's plans prevail. When that is as
sured a new Evangelism will dawn upon
us. More millions will go into the trea
sury, and more thousands into the army ;
and the emigration that' will cover Vir
glide, and redeem and purity Richmond,
be alike a blessing to those who have
been so terribly punished for yielding to
the ruinous counsels of designing leaders,
and to those who have given themSelVes to
the good cause. OCCASIONAL.
W~ ~HINGTON.
WASHINGTON, May 10,1804.
The Rebel Ram Albemarle.
In response to an inquiry of the House, to the
Secretary of the Navy, why the construction of the
relict ram Albemarle was not , prevented, or steps
taken to guard against its action, etc., a reply has
been made, from which it appears that a number of
iron-clad gunboats,"of light draught, arein - process of
construction, and which were designed (Or service
in the sounds and rivers of North Carolina, and the
shallow interior waters elsewhere on the coast.
Most of them were, by the contracts, to have been
completed last year—some of them as early as Sep
tember—but not one has yet been delivered; and it
will be some weeks before one can be - made arena.;
ble fur service. lie, says he has, op repeated occa
sions, called the attention of Congress to the neces
sity for .a yard and . establishment where iron and
armored vessels .could be - constructed for the
Government, but the preliminary steps for such
an establishment have not yet been „taken. In the
meantime, the Department and tlfe Government
are wholly dependent on contractors, who, if they
have the will, do not possess the ability to furnish
these vessels promptly. It is his deliberate opinion
that no time should be wasted in, establishing, at a
proper place, a suitable yard where /ron ships can
be made anthrepaired. We feel its necessity in the
emerzency which-has called forth the present in
quiry, and not a single contractor is able to meet
his engagement, even for one of this class of small
vessels. In the event of a foreign war with one or
more of the principal maritime Powers our con
dition would be most unfortunate, with no Govern
ment establishment for the construction or repair of
armored vessels, such as modern science-and skill
are introducing. The correspondence of Acting
Ttear Admiral LEE and the naval officers is evi
dence that there has been no neglect or inattention
on their part, at Plymouth or elsewhere In - that
quarter. Admiral Lisa and Lieutenant Com.
mender PLvssmt, as early as April,- labl, com
municated facts respecting the construction of
the rebel rani. In September last, Secretary
Irmax.s, in addressing Secretary STANTON, Says
"Were our iron-clads now completed, available for
service in the sounds, they 'could not be sent there,
as they draw too much water to cross the bulkhead
at Hatteras. Our light-draught ones will not be
completed for some time to come. In view of all
these facts, I deem it proper to suggest the im
portance of an effort on the part of the army to sue-
prise and destroy the rebellltal and battery referred
to, or of obstructing the river by torpedoes and
piles, or otherwise, so as to prevent their descent.
This Department will be happy to co-operate, so fair
as it may be able, in adopting such steps as may
seem Practicable and adequate to secure us against
threatening disaster."
The Secretary of War replies he has sent a copy
of Mr, WELLES' letter to Maier General FOSTER,
with directions to take such action as may, in his
judgment, be best suited to meet the emergency
thus presented.
Admiral LEE,. addressing the Secretary of the
Na vy April 24th, says "Nothing can he more un
generous and unjust than to make the Navy De
partment responsible for - the occupation or surren
der of the fortified town (Plymouth.) The navy had
nothing to do with the planning, placing, or fight
lirg- the expensive and extensive fortifications which
the army has erected for the defence of Plymouth.
General Br - man told me at Plymouth, last fall,
that he did not care for the ram, and that the forti
fications ought to be sufficient to hold the place."
Naval Prize Money.
During the month of April, the. Fourth Auditor of
the Ti casury settled 3,299 Claims for prize money,
ainounting - to $606,903.i6.
The award haszhcently been made in the case of
the steamer Atlanta, captured by the Weehawken,
Clzurnerone, and Nahant. One-half of the proceeds
has been ordered to be distributed. The captors
have appealed to the Supreme Court as to their
right to the remaining half, on the ground that the
captured vessel was of superior force to the cap
turing vessels. Of this half the first-class firemen
received 5 second-ehms firemen, $44-Lit4 ; sea
men, ;i , 32.0.30 ; coal-heavers, $3320.20; ordinary sea
men, `r2-19.11; landsmen, *213.54 ; cooks, $127.01.

Guerilla Depredations.

BERMUDA HUNDRED BA1 i DO.;O, May 0, 1834.
To Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War:
Our operations may be summed up in a few words.
With 1,700 cavalry wo have mfranced up the Penin.
sub., forded the Chielmhominy, and have safely
brought them to our present position. These were
colored cavalry ; and are now holding position as our
advance towards Richmond. General Kuntz, with
,000 cavalry, from Suffolk, on the same• day with
our movement up the James river, forced the Black_
water and burned the railroad bridge at Stony
creek, below Petersburg, cutting in two Beaure
gard's forces at that point.
We have landed here and entrenched ourselves;
have destroyed many miles of railroad, and have
got a position which, with proper supplies we can
hold against the wade of Lee's army. I have or
tiered up the supplies. Beauregard, with- a large
portion of his command, was left south of the cut
ting of the railroad by Gen, Kuntz, That portion
which reached Petersburg under Hill I have
whipped to-day, killing and wounding many, and
taking many prisoners, after a. severe and well
contested fight. Lieut. Gen. Grant will not be trou

A degpnieli from General Sherman, received at

sion of Rocky Face Ridge, and I have knowledge
that General McPherson took the Snake Creek Gap
and was within reran of Ileeaca thts morning.
You will remember that on / Saturday the, rebels
were forced from Tunnel Hill by General Thomas,
and took a position at Buziard , s Roost, in a bend
of Mill :creek., just north of Dalton. This is repre
sented to be a very strong position, which General
Thomas was unable to drive the enemy from on a
former occasion, when he advanced on Dalton.
But Resaea is a position - on the railroad about 15
miles north of Dalton; and this will plaee McPher
son with a strong force of veteran troops in the rear
of the enemy, while Thoinas - advances on the front
and General - Schofield closes in on the flank from
Cleveland.. It is probable that a great battle was
fought on that plan yesterday and may be now in
progress. General Joe Johnston commands the
rebel forces.

A RATTLE GOING ON AT SPOTTgYLVANIA
-LEE GIVING WAY
W_nsunsm•rox, Nay 10.—The Slat says a messen
ger got in last night from the army who left Spott-
SYlYania Court House yesterday at 12 Welooli, and
came on horseback to Amnia Creek, and thence
came up on a gunboat at noon yesterday. A heavy
right was going on at Spottsylvania Court House.
We held the place. At that time Lee gave evidence
of being weakened and of falling back. The mes
senger had an escort' of 150 cavalry. Guerillas
were frequently encountered on the way, and ft is
not improbable that many of the escort were cap
tured when returning to the army. Our wounded
are reported at 15,000, most of whom are at Frede
ricksburg, so thickly lying in the streets and upon
the pavements that a cavalry patrol, ordered out,
could not do duty, as it was difficult to pass between
the rows of Wounded without trampling upon them.
It is said there were between 2000 and 3,000 rebel
wounded left upon the field, who have also been
brought to Fredericksburg.
THE FIGHT AT SPOTTSYLVANIA—FIRING
HEARD IN THAT DIRECTION.
WAsamoTo - x, May 10.—It is - believed, belieVed, from the
reports which - have reached here to-night, that there
was no general cnir,agement yesterday; but, as
heavy firing was, this morning, heard in the direc
tion of Spottsylvania Court House, the contest must
have been renewed. Our forces do not occupy the
latter place, but arc within several miles of it.
Large numbers of wounded are reaching Frede
ricks-Mug, and many of the of among them are
expected to reach Washington to-morrow.

GEN. IVUTLER , S OPERATIONI-7, : -THE JAMES
RIVER AND RICHMOND.
NEW YORK, 31 . 410.—A correspondent says: " We
learn that General Butler commenced his march
for Richmond, fi7om the south side, early yeidorday
morning. One day's uninterrupted march trill
bring his treopS to the James river, opposite the
city. We may, therefore, expect some important
news from that quarter to-day."
The World says "We have private advices from
Baltimore of rumors which prevailed there yester
day, to the effect that an attack had been made on
Tort Darling—Or Drury's Bluff, as the rebels term
it—whieh, the report went cut to say, had been cap
tured. It was further rumored that the obstructions
in the James river had been removed by the 'devils'
and other Inventions which had accompanied the,
monitor fleet, in which case the gunboats could go
up to the RockettS and :hell gichmonil. It was fur
ther stated that General Butler had boasted that he
would be in the city of Richmond before Monday
(yesterday) night. - We give these rumors for - what
they are worth, at the same time cautioning our
readers not to idaeo any - credende in them unless
confirmed by more positive statements."
The gunboat Bhawsheen (an of l ferry-boat) was

blown up on the James river by a shot in the boiler.
The commander and a number of the crow were
lost.
. _
The officers of the Shawsheen, as published in the
Petry Register for 1364, were as follows ;
Acting, Master—Henry A. Photon.
Acting Ensign—Charles Ringot. •
Acting Master's Mate—William Rushmore.
Engineers—Acting Second. Assistant, Richard
Anderson ; Acting Third Assistant, John Wall.
The Regime says that two small gunboats were
destroyed on the James river, one by a torpedo, as
before slated, and the other by a shot fired into her
steam chest from a shine battery, [The latter was
the Shawsheen, formerly an old ferry boat; the
other was the Cohnnotiore jelleS.]
WASHIb:OI'ON. May 10.—The obstructions on the
James river have been removed.
Butler is moving on Richmond from the south
side of the river, and is within one day's march of
it. He is running a race with Grant, and the
Chances are In his favor.
Fort Darling has been captured, and is now in
Butler's possession.

THE WILDERNESS.
THE CLOSE OF THE FIGHT ON FRIDAY.
[From the Tribune.
Halt or three-quarters of an hour of alternating
success end repulse, and Gen. Wadsworth orders a
charge, to recover his command from %slight waver
ing. He is cheered loudly by his men, who loved
thg gray-haired chieftain. One horse is shot under
him. He mounts a second, and spurs to the front,
hat in hand, and we should have won then. but his
men saw him fall. He was shot through the head,
killed instantly, and his body fell into the hands of
the enemy. His command fell back to their origi
nal position with comparative order. Wadsworth's
death is a heavy loss.
Prisoners came in at the rate of 100 an hour. The
day was excessively hot, and the men wore much
exhausted. We had neither gained nor lost ground,
but continued this thing long enough, and we hoped
to wear them out. At 5% o'clock Hancock was pre
paring for grand movement of our entire left. He
did not make it, for the enemy anticipated hiiii, and
he had to repel perhaps the most wicked assault
thus far encountered—brief in duration, but terrific,
in power a nil superhuman momentum.
Tile first few minutes we were staggered. Strag
glers, for the first time in this fighting, streamed
to the rear in large numbers, choking the roads and
causing a panic by their stampede and incoherent
tales of frightful disaster. It was even reported at
general headquarters that the enemy had burst en
tirely through, and supports were hurried up. Grant
and Meade seated their backs against the same tree,
quietly listened to the officer who brought - E.11.0 re
port, and consulted a moment in low tones. The
orders for sending reinfarcements were given, and
for a little time not a word was spoken in the
group of more than twenty officers. Theybut looked
into each others' them
- -
At. length Grant says, with laconic emphasis; "I
don't believe it." He was right. Long before that
Hancock had recovered from the first shock, held ground.- his own awhile, and now was gaining
forty minutes front this attack the enemy was com
pletely beaten back with tremendous slaughter, and.
the loss of some hundreds of prisoners.
It was now nearly sunset. From •one end of the
line to the other not a shot could be heard. The
day's work seemed over, Our line of to-night would
be that of last night. The auguries were good. In
two days' fighting 'we had lost heavily, but not
more than the enemy: Our assaults had been futile,
but the enemy's had been equally so ; and it is by
these massed assaults that he has ever achieved his
vietories.
The inference was clear that we had overmatched
him fighting at his best and strongest.
Men, separated in the heat of the day, now chanc
ing to meet, congratulated each other. The rebels
'can't endure another such day, and we can, was the
expressed conviction on all hands, and this state-
ment epitomizes the situation at sunset.
The sun went down red. The smoke of the battle
of more than two hundred thousand men destroying
each other with villainous saltpetre through all the
long hours of a long 'day, filled the valleys, and
rested upon the bills of all this -Wilderness, hung in
lurid haze all around the horizon, and built a dense
canopy overhead, beneath which this grand army of
Freedom Was preparing to rest against the morrow.
Generals Grant and , Meade had retired to their
tents. Quiet reigned, but, during the reign of quiet,
the enemy was forgingt Umnderbolt.
Darkness and smoke were mingling in grim twi
light, and fast deepening into thick gloom, when we
were startled out of repose back into fierce excite
ment. The forged thunderbolt was sped, and by a
master. A wild rebel yell away to the right. We
knew they had massed and were charging. We
waited for the volley with which we knew Sedgwieli
would meet the onset. We thought it but a night
attack, to ascertain if we had changed our position.
We were mistaken—it was more. They meant to
break through, and they did. On Sedgwiek's ex
treme right lay the d Brigade, 3d Division of his
corps, under Central - Seymour, who had been as
signed to it but two days before. The brigade is
new to the Gth Corps, and is known as the - Milroy
brigade, connectng on the left of Seymour bySha
lers and then P's brigades, the latter being a
brigade of Getty's division that had not been'sent to
Hancock. These troops were at work entrenching
when fallen upon. The enemy came down like a
torrent, rolling and dashing in living waves, and
flooding up against the whole Gth oOrpS. The main
line stood like a rock, but not so the extreme right.
That Ranh:was instantly and utterly turned. The
rebel line was the longer, and surged around Sey
mour's brigade, tided overit and through it, beat
aka filSt Zquiler, and bore away his right regiments.
All this done in lets than ten minutes, perhaps not
five. Seymour's men, seeing their pickets running
back, and hearing the shouts of the rebels, who
charged with all their chivalry, wore smitten with
panic, and, standing on no order of going, went at
once, and in an incredibly short time made their way
through a mile and a half of woods to the plank
road in the rear. They reported, in the,trantic man
ner usual with stampeded men, the entire corps
broken. Grant, as in Hancock's ease, did not be
lieve it. But when three of Sedgwick's staff Pod c
in to army headquarters separately, and stated how
they had ridden from Sedgwick's to keep Seymour's
men to their work, had been borne back by the
Panic,
and had last seen Sedgwick and Wright hard
to the, front, working like Trojans to kold the wit.
vering line, the situation appeared moreeritieal. No
word came in from Sedgwiek. It began to be feared
that lie and Wright, disdaining to fly, were prison
ers.
- -
Artillery moved quietly to commanding' posi
tions, to be prepared for the worst, and cool heads felt
that were the whole 6th Corps broken, the army;as,an
army, would still be invincible. Warren's corps is
instantly but in pefect composure, disposed to meet
the situation. Grant, and Meade, and Warren, are
in Grant's tent, to and from which officers come

gent and important cores. So during an hour. No

WiLnErs'EsS, oP. M., Saturday, May 7. lea
Up to this hour there hes been but little fighting to
day. Our position this morning was unchanged
from yesterdn'Y's, excepting that the right had been
bent back. Sedgvick's affair, last night, has in no
wise disconcerted the plans of our - leaders, depress
ed their hope, or impaired-the efficiency of the
army. It was bat a. disastrous episode.
This became clearly apparent when the morning
disclosed the fheethet nowhere on the line was the
enemy messed up against us ; that he had during
the night withdrawn from the battle-field, leaving
us free to occupy nearly all the ground where lay
the slain. He had retreated, however, only to an.‘
other line, Where he evidently challenged an attack.
lie has played upon cis allot to-day with long range
guns, and has kept a bold skirmish line in his front.
Large parties have been seen all day at work en
trenching just in Warren's front; 2,000 or :';,000 men
have been digging all clay upon a half mile line,
from which several solid shot have been throWn
nearly to army headquarters. Lee , s success on our
right must have been so greatly overbalanced byhis
repulse on our left an hour before, that he did not
dare risk another day on the same ground. He con
cedes by this quasi withdrawal that he cannot
longer stand the battle where he felt able to precipi
tate it.
Very great relief is felt this afternoon on account
of a report of prisoners that Gen. Wadsivorth is in
the enemy's hands, severely wounded. The cheer
ing statement is quite circumstantial, and is gene
rally credited. On the same authority Longstreet
is wounded and Jenkins killed.
During the day 1 haveridden along several miles
of front over the ground most stubbornly contested
hesterday—how stubbornly is attested by the trees
ewed and trimmed and perforated by bullets, and
by the thick-strewn dead. It is like other fields of
this war: certainly none have presented a more ter
rific scene. Nearly all the wounded had.been re
moved, but none of the dead buried.
Far down the plank-road where Hancock fought,
beyond the thickest rebel dead, lay a boy severely
wounded—perhaps not less a soldier that he was but
a boy. He had fallen the day bcfbre, when we were
farthest advanced, and had remained unmolested
within the rebel lines: They hail not removed MM.
and he was alone with the dead when I rode up.
The poor fellow was crawlingabout gathering vio
lets. Faint with loss of blood, unable to stand, he
could not resist the tempting; flowers, and had al
ready made a beautiful bouquet. Having caused a
stretcher to be sent for, I saw him taken up tenderly
and borne away, wearing a brave, sweet, touching
smile.
About 2 o'clock. the rebels made a demonstration
upon our right flank, penetrating nearly to the
plank road, and threatening communication with
Germania. However, we had cleared 'the road of
everything valuable, and removed the pontoons, and
probably did not ease to pr event the rebels from oc
cupying.
1 sin not permitted to speculate in regard to
Grant's p 15155 and probable movements. He will,
however, Make a vigorous assault yet to-night.
Lee's generalship has been magnified. His main
force was at Orange Court House. lie moved si
multaneously with Grant, and as rapidly.
Wednesday night he hell the Mine Run line.
Grant had put hie army over the Rai - Adam and roth
Corps headquarters that night were where Army
headquarters have been since. Leo menaced our
line of march, and Warren steps out and tights
him. Next Lee hurries everything to his right to
penetrate between Warren and Hancock, who was
marching - from chancellorsyille.
Foiled in the attempt, he adopts the system of
masked massed assaults. Beaten through two clays
at his own game, he last night retires, entrenches,
and invites attack where the ground Is unknoWn to
us and familiar to him. That Grant 'and Meade,
working in thorough concord and coneert, have met
and thwarted him at every turn, is sufficient cont
inent upon their generalship. This fact must be
ominous to Lee of - the hate in store for him before
this campaign will close.
I have yet said nothingas to the extent Of our loss,
or how it compares with the enemy's. • Light thou
sand of our wounded have 'already been cared for in
the hospitals. It is thought that say one.thousand
THE PENNSYLVANIA RESERVES
SATURDAY'S REPORT
remain on the field. Estimating the killed at one
thousand five hundred, and prisoners at two thou
sand, I cannot reduce the total to less than twelve
thousand. Included are seven general officers, viz :
Hays, killed; Wadsworth, killed or a prisoner; Sha
ler and Seymour, prisoners;Getty and Webb—these
last two did molt adMirahly—wounded. The ambu
lance and hospital arrangements have been perfect.
It is certain that in no previous battle have the

The enemy's loss, judging - from the appearance of
the battle-field, and from the manner el lighting and
the nature of the ground, cannot be ler.s than 0055
Is, indeed, undoubtedly g - renter. The whole army
believes that it has inflicted more than it has suf
fered. Our wounded, to the number of 3,000, are now
being placed in ambulances and empty wagons, and
the train, aecompented by 3,000 to 4,000 wounded,
able to walk, and a strong escort. will start for Ely's
Ford by sunset.
It is a remarkable circumstance that during three
days of battle the 'artillery reserve has remained
quietly parked three miles to the rear. The artillery'
attached to the corps has been ten times more than
could be brought into action.
The cavalry has had considerable fighting, and
has done important Service, It has hung upon our
left, has kept Stuart at bav, has attacked lien when
it Las been possible to reach
Sheridan s business was to protect our immense
steres, which wereinainly in ti n e rear toward Ulan
eel lorsville—to prevent Stuart front raiding around
its toward Fredericksburg ; in short, to take care of
that enterprising rider, and thrash him it eould
be brought to an encounter.
The imperative partof this business has boon well'
and vigilantly attended to.
Wilson's division rode into aria drove a portion of
the enemy's cavalry on Thursda y,on rho road to Ito
bert son , s tavern. Our loss was :7:0.1110 300—lhe oth
NOW 'York suffering , the most.
Sheridan seems to have taken the cavalry reins
will :e master's hand, and to be fast gaining the
confidence of the cavalry corps. I suspect a general
cavalry fight may lie contested fur down on the
enemy's right before ninny days. for I know the
destruction or rituarl'e power for 'mischief is con
sidered important to the carrying out of the
paign in the shape contemplated. By an arrival
from Washington, this afternoon, we learn of But
ler's landing on James river. The news will at
once be disseminated throughout tbp army, to give
to tint 'movement the impulse and inqdration sprtrig

li is now nearly sunset,
Naturally, May 7. There
is quite vigorous tiring, and stuns artillery, at diffe
rent points on the line, induced by an advance on
our part. I think it will not assume the proportions
of a general engagement. It is proposed, doubtless,
to learn something of the rebel position, and it may
bo for another object. Perhaps the main one is to
intium the enemy that we arc here in full force as
night sets in. I doubt if we shall be when the sun
rice's, and under this'convinced impression that there
is- to he no more heavy work on this ground, I shall
leave immediately for Washington. C. A.

Rebel Demonstrations Against Newborn
—Their Repulse by our. Gunboats.
HATTERAS, N. C., May 7.-The schooner Eliza,
Sheddon, bound for New York, has just arrived here
from Newbern, and reports that the enemy made a
demonstration on Newborn yesterday, cutting off
the railroad communication between that place and
Beaufort, and making his appearance on the south
side of the Neusc river, two miles below the city,
with a cavalry force, accompanied by a battery of
four guns, which commanded the water approaches
to Newbern for a brief period. The gunboats Com
modore Barney and Louisiana suddenly made their
appearance at the point threatened, and forced the
enemy back from the river. Nothing was allowed
to pass over the railroad from Newbern to Beaufort
yesterday, as this demonstration was expected;
therefore the enemy failed to receive a loaded train
of ears. Captain White thinks this movement of
the enemy is only a cavalry dash, and not intended'
as a general attack on Newbern.

contested election case of Deuce against Loan, the sitting
member:
Mr% BraTcE. presented his own case, contending that
there had been in ilitury outrages on the elective fran

CO:num:OJAI , loLLEom.— The
catalogue of this inStitution, just isnted, fur the year
ending - April 15th, shows it to be in a very flourish
ing condition. Four Mindful and seventy-one stu
dents were in attendance within the year, from va
rious sections of the eOnntry. Many of them are the
sons of our prominent business men, who are well
aware of the merits of its course of instruction.
The same management under which it has been
conducted for some time past, and under which it
has been so prosperous, still continues, and nothing
which experience, energy, and ability can do is left
undone to make it the best commercial institution
on this continent. Its design is to prepare young
men for active business life. The course of instruc
tion is comprehensive and thorough, and eminently
practical. It includes Bookkeepini, , in all its branch
es, for the various departments of trade i Penni n-
Ship, giving the student an opportunity of forming
a good business hand; Commercial Unkulatlon.
Law, 'Forms, &e.
Since its establishment, in 1844, over four thou
sand students have attended it, and its graduates
are among our most accomplished and successful
business men. Not contented with the advantages
it has possessed in the past, such improvements as
are adopted by practical business men are intro
duced into the course of instruction, and every facili
ty is given the student Which the present day af
fords.
Mere are no elasefez 5 eneleAndent it: taught Pepa
ratel y, so that he receives the attention and instruc
tion he especially needs, and may attend at such
hours as may best suit his convenience. On gradua
tion he is awarded a handsome diploma, with the
seal of the institution attached. The usual time re
quired to complete the course of instruction is from
eight to twelve weeks. Students are received at
any time, as there arc no vacations.
One of the first duties of every person destined for
busines:s life is to prepare kinOelf for it, and the
knowledge imparted in this institution is what every
man needs.
