Rebels Repulsed in Every Attack FEDERAL FORCES HOLD THE FIELD. Lee's Railroad Communica tion Cut Off by Butler. WASHINGTON, May B.—in army cor respondent writing from headquartms, at. Wilderness tavern, on Friday even ing, gives the following intelligence of the great battle on Friday: The day has closed upon a terribly hard-fought field, and the Army of the Potomac has added another to its list of murderous conflicts. Gen. Lee's tactics, so energetically employed at Chancel lorsville and Gettysburg of throwing his whole army, first on one wing, then upon another, has again been brought to bear upon the Army of the Potomac, which has repulsed the tremendsps on slaught of the enemy, and stands to night with solidity ia-the position it as seraed this morning. The first attempt was made upon Han cock, and upon the right so weakened in numbers by the battle of yesterday, but the old-iron Second Corps nobly stood its ground. Then the enemy hurled his battalions upon Sedgwick, and once or twice gained a temporary advantage, but the old veterans of that Corps nobly rallied, and repulsed the rebels with fearful slaughter. About half-past four p. m. Lee made a feint upon the whole line, and then suddenly fell with his whole force upon Sedgwick, driving him back temporar ily, but the advantage was soon regain ed. an.l the rebels hurled back with great loss. N. r. TOTTON Night now came on. It is believed at headquarters, at this hour, that Lee has withdrawn from our front. Although the nature of the ground has been of a terrible character, most of it being so thickly wooded as to render movements all but impossible, and to conceal entire ly the operations of the enemy, yet he has been signally repulsed in all his at tacks, and nothing but the nature of the battlefield has prevented it from being a crushing defeat. The loss on both sides has been very heavy, but at this hour of writing I can not give an estimate. A. Tribune Wash ington special of the Bth says: Advices, believed to be trustworthy, represent that Gen. Butler has cut ell railroad communications south of Richmond. A Complete . Victery Announced Gen. Butler Whips Beauregard Lee Retreating Towards Richmond. Rebel Generals Killed and Wounded W A.SHELNOTON, May 9.—The National iterrublkan has an extra that official dis patches announce our complete victory over General Lee, and that the rebel army is retreating in the direction of Spottsylvania. General Grant is pursu ing. Gen. Wadsworth, of New York, is kill ed, also the Rebel Generals Pegram and Jenkins, and Generals Picker and Hun ter wounded. General Butler has whip ped Beauregard and cut the Petersburg and Richmond Railroad. A dispatch dated Washington, May 9th, 10:45 o'clock, A. M., tO General Dix, says: We have intelligence this morn ing by a courier direct from the army as late as Saturday evening, but m official reports. The general results may be stated as a success to our armies. The fighting on Friday was the most desperate known in modern times. Gen. Wadsworth was killed by a ball in the forehead, while leading his troops against one of the enemy's strongest po sitions. Gen. Webb was wounded. The condition of our army is represen ted as admirable. At last accounts, Gen. Hancock was pushing forward rapidly by the left for Sixittsylvania Court House, and yesterday heavy firing was ,heard at Acquia Creek, or from that direction. We lost some prisoners. One regi ment of Pennsylvania Reserves charged through an abattis of the enemy, but were unable to get back, and most of them were captured. We have taken a large number of prisoneri--it is sup posed more than we lost. No artillery was used on either side in the first day's fight. General Sherman was heard from last night, he would attack the rebels to-day. The Herald's correspondence from James river, dated May 7th, 6 a, headed "The Evacuation of Peters burg," says: It is most positively known now that the city has been evacuated. A tremendous fire is raging in that vicin ity, and the only solution we can give is that the rebels set fire to the extensive mills or factories located there. No Fighting on Saturday NEW YORK, May 9.—The news by specials are meagre. The Tribune has the following, dated Washingtou;.— I Twelve trains of wounded are on their way from the front. The hospitals are ready for their reception. A report from rebel sources says that Gen. Lee was wounded. The Tribune says the situa tion m4y be thus epitomized: On Thurs day A army sustained successfully fag attack from the bulk of Lee's air - 1 my.

Lours, May 9.—The Democrat, of this morning, publishes the following: The expedition of Gen. Steele towards Shreveport, has ended with his return under rather exciting circumstances to Little Rock. A gentleman; conversant with the facts, arrived here and commu nicates a'statementto the fellow.tng pur port: ' General Steeleleft LI ttle Rock with some twelve thousand infantry and threethou sand cavalry, the latter under General Carr. Arkadelphia was captured with out difficulty, and the force moved for ward to Camden. A subsistence train of one hundred was cut off and captured by the enemy, together with the escort of four hundred and eighty men, who suddenly found themselves in the hands of a superior force, and made but little resistance. At Camden, General Steele soon found the rebels, about eight thousand strong, of cavalry, in his rear. Two hundred and forty wagons, dispatched from Cam den toward Pine Bluff for stores, with an escort of sixteen hundred men, were captured by the enemy. The steanier Palamo with 20 tons of ammunition for Steele and his army, was sunk 40 miles below Little Rock, by coming in dalli sion with another steamer. The pilot who had charge of the boat was put un der arrest on suspicion of treachery, but was subsequently released. Gen. Steele found no stores to subsist his troops, and had to reduce their allow ance to quarter rations. As his move ment was to be co-operative with the manrone-of Banks, Which fatted, there remained no course but to return to Litle Rock. Gen. Price undertook to retard Steele's retreat from Camden, while Gen. Mar maduke with a stropg force • set off for Little Rock. General Steele, to act for the safety of the Arkansas capital, with its Union population and millions of dol lars worth of federal starea andfor the res cue of his army, broke through Price's lines,and set out to get to Little Rock in time to save it from General Marmaduke. He also was making every exertion to reach and bag the proposed gamt at Sa bine Fork, and it became necessary to give Gen. Price battle, which was hand somely done. The rebels were well mounted, in fine condition, , and the fight was protracted and bloody, lasting three or four hours, but resulted in the complete repulse of the enemy, leaving General Steele to resume his exciting race with Marmaduke. The latter approached Little Rock, throwing shells into the city on the after noon of the first, shortly afterwards Carr's cavalry came up and joined the troops at the Post, and compelled Marmaduke to relinquish his uridentaking. • He made but little resistance as the main body of Steele's army was rapidly arriving. The Legislature was in session, and probably not one of its members, if caught would have been - spared by the exasper- i ated foe: During the entire march from Camden the troops were constantly skir mishing with the enemy, who hung upon their rear and flanks, strenuously endeav oring to impede their advance. There were uo ambulances for the wounded. and they had to be left in the hands of the residents on the road. The captured escort of sixteen hun dred men were composed of the 38th lowa, 43d Indiana and 77th Ohio. forty five suceeded in escaping. Our informant represents Gem Steele's cavalry as being deplorably deficient in horses, our men being sometimes' com pelled to use unbroken mules, in many instances, Or to try to use them for cav alry horses Price's horses are• still lin gering in the vicinity , and were strip ping the often desolated country anew. Bad News from the Red Rivet, Steamers Fired on by Rebel Batteries GI naral Steele at Little Rook. Demand for the Surrender of Alexandria. Great' Loss of Wagon Trains and Artillery. Our Killed, Wounded and Pris oners, 10,000. C.urto, May 8,113.80 r. M.—The steam er White Cloud, from Red river, report the rebels in force on both sides of Red river, with batteries planted above and below the falls. She was tired into be low the mouth of Caneriver, but no one was injured. The gunboat "Admiral" fared worse, being badly ?crippled; six of her crew were killed and wounded. The gunboat Juliet No . 4 was very much disabled, and had to be towed to Natchez. Rebel shells exploded inside, riddling the boat, completely. There were eighteen killed and many wound ed. A transport was so badly damaged as to have to be towed to New Orleans. The enemy attacked Greenville, a small town opposite to Alexandria, but were driven back by the gunboats. They have driven in our pickets it both places several times. The federal forces near Alexandria are reported at 35,000. The rebel force is quite heavy, under Generals Kirby Smith. Magruder, Tay lor and others. The Cloud reports that a flag of truce with u demand for the surrender of Al exandria, was sent to Gen. Banki the day the boat left that place. The steamer Gen. Grant has arrived at Memphis, and reports having learned at Pine Bluff. that Gen. Steele, with his whole force, had arrived at Little Rock, still followed, having lost all his wagon trains, and the greater part of his artil lery. No fears of an attack on Little Rock are entertained, it being strongly fortified. The wounded were being brought to Pine Bluff, which is also for tified, and is ronsidered defensible against attack. The body Of Capt. Bradford, of the 13th Tennessee cavalry, tnassacred at Ft. Pillow; has been found, and bore evidence of violence; it has been remov ed.
