Church Wealth In New-England.—Rev. Dr.
Holbrook writes to the San Francisco Paci
fic : 64 1, had noponception of the astonishing
wealth of New-England until I had occasion
and the opportunity to, ascertain the fact.
The number of members of. Congregational
churches who are worth from 8100,000 to
$1,000,000 is almost incredible, while you
would be astonisloid could you know how
many make return to Government of an an
nual income Of from IsBo,ooo to $lOO ,0001 ,
'There Is ones oluirah - in a'oountry village in
Massachusetts that is said to represent
seven millions .of property, and another
three, to say nothing of those in the cities."
Certainly our Congregationalist brethren
ought to accomplish something, if they
hold their wealth as• God's stewards.

The War.—The •last two weeks have been,
without doubt, the most eventftd.of the war thin
far—have witnessed the fiercest struggles of the
contest, and the victorits which promise most for
the final and speedy suppression of the rebellion.
It uitty be well to notice, Connaetedly, the move
ments of -the . Army 'of-the Potomac. - -
This gallant army, whieilt had so often ad
vanced hopefully against the enemy, fought
courageously, and endured heroically, only to
be disappointed signally, once more resumed
the " onward" march. on Monday, May 2d, un
der a new and hitherto successful leader, and oil
Tuesday and Wednesday the entire army had
safely crossed the Rapidan, and encamped in
olitss_proximity to their old an4gottists. On
Thursday * , May 6th, 'General - Meade, ,
the march, was attacked by Lee, somewhat to
the west of the 'old field of Chanoellorsville, in
.the district commonly ;designated from its dense
forest growth, The Wilderness." Our columns
were soon in battle line, and the'enemy met his
'first repulse. On this day Gen. Hays was killed.
On Friday morning, May 6th, our army ad
vanoed again and was soon 'involved 'in a fierce
contest, from 'which' the rebels 'retired, driven
from all their positions. Some time was devoted,
to the strengthening of our lines, and posting
our forces in the most advantageous way, when,
in the afternoon, Lee` directod heavy columns of
attack against different parts of ourfront in suc
cession, in pursuance of his old. tactics; and
though repeatedly repelled with dreadful loss,
effected at last a breach in our line, which par
tially-expoeed•-our 'commurticatiOffil and' trains.
Here, perhaps, was the turning. point of thd
campaign. Another leader probably would haire
retired in the night to protect his base; but
Gen. Grant, with bold but characteristic strat
egy, advanced a column threatening Lee's own
communications, and thus compelled his wily
foe to withdraw. On this day Gen. Wadsworth
fell, mortally wounded, and Gen. Seymour was
taken prisoner. •
We recapitulate ;tie na r rat ive: of these; two
days of battle, which were mentioned last week,
for the
,sake of making a connected statement at
,the ?unit iMportant Campaign of; the war..
On On Saturday, May 7th, there was, a good deal
of severe skirmishing, but no general engage
ment: . During the night Gen., Grant pushed,
fOrward toward Spotteylvania Court House, and
on Sunday morning, May Bth, Gen. -Meade en
trenched hiniself two and, a half miles from
.Spottsylvanitt. The fighting was not general or
severe. On this day Gen. Sedgwick was killed..
On Sunday night, and again on Monday, May
'9„,the enemy attacked our positions, but were
foiled in each attempt and forced to retire with
loss. -Our forces made no attack; the day being
spentin,resting and recruiting our men, renew- .
ing their exhausted my
e-104
- • , er a very heavy fire, posting him
self on the enemy's flank, whilst Warren, at
tacking in front, drove the enemy half a mile,
our forces immediately entrenching themselves
on the ground Thus secured.
On Tuesday, May 10, a fierce and bloodier'
contest than any of the preceding, raged along
our, whole line. The-.enemy -attempted.r.once ,
more to turn our,flank, but were repulsed with
fearful loss. The rebel right was held by Long
.street's corps, commanded by 4. P. Hilt and
against this:wing, in , the afternoon •Gen. Burn-.
side precipitated his entire command, the Ninth
corps, excepting the colored troops, completely
crushing , the rebel right, capturing three brig
ade* and four ,pieces of cannon. The Sixth
corps, under Gen. Wright, (Sedgwick's succes
sor,) carried the first line of the rebele
capturing twelve guns and a thousand prisoners.
The fight closed at 9 o'clock at night upon one
of the bloodiest fields of the'wai; our lines hay
lag , advanced, and Burnside occupying tong
street's entrenchments. Our losses in this one
day are reported at not lees than nine thousand.
Generals Rice and Stevenson were killed.
At the close of this day's battle, Gen. Grant
telegraphed to the Department of War, as fol
lows: We have now ended the sixth day
,of
very heavy"fighting. ' The result to this time is
much in our favor. Our losses have been heavy,
as well as those of the enemy. l think the -loss
of the enemy must be greater.- -We have taken
over 5,000 prisoners in battle, whilst he has
taken from us butifew except stragglers. Lpro
pose to fight it, out on this line, if it takes all ,
Summer."

- On the' same day, May 10th, •Gen. Sheridan
dispatched that he'had'got intothe enemy's-rear,
had dedtrayed sled miles of railroad, two loco
mhtives, three 'trains, and a large quantity of
supplies. In an'order found on some captured
rebels, Lee notifies his army that his 'conimuniL
tion with Riohnithad' was' broken,' and that they
must draw their supplied from the enemy. Thus
far not a wagon has been taken by them. '
On Wednesday; May 11th, the fighting was
again renewed, and our line was.somewhat.•ad
vanced. The details of this day's contest, which
id' described' as desperate, are meagre. A 'report,
not confirmed, is mentioned, that Lee solicited a
cessation of hostilities for forty-eight holm, to
bury the' dead, which Gen. Grant refused.
Thursday, May 12th, witnessed perhaps the
most successful conflict of the .campaign thus
far. During the preceding night Gen. Hancock
removed from the, right. tea position. between
Gerus. Wright and Durneide,'and at daylight, in
an impetuous attack, carried the first and second
lines of the enemy's works, captured the whole
of Gen,. Fol. Johnson's' and part of-Early% di
visions, comprising from three to five thousand
prisoners, together with Major Gen. Johnson,
Gen. G. H. Stuart; and .upwards of thirty can
non. The battle continued with varying success
until the' afternoon; it being found impossible to
dislodge the rebels from a. position they 'held
most stubbornly. The -position was, however,
abandoned by them 'during the night; abd'a pur
suit commenced by our 'forces, which was great
ly retarded by the state of• the roads, heavy
rains having fallen during the last thirty-six
hours. The whole of - Thursday's battle is de
soribed as having been most terrible. The pro
portion of severely -wounded was greater than
on any previous day, owing to the great nee
made of artillery. Our losses during the day
were estimated at 4,600. The battle limited from
daylight until dark, was renewed at 0 P. M., and
lasted until 8 A. M. of Friday.

During Friday, May 13th, there was no gen
eral engagement. The enemy had fallen back
fotir miles, and remained in positiott. Up to
that time our losses , were estimated at 85,000:
those of the enemy' at 50,000. During Fkiday
night a movement was made by the sth and 6th
Corps to our left, which, if successful, would
place our forces in Lee's rear, and compel him to
retreat toward Lynchburg. ' •
Dispatches have been received from Gen. Grant
to BA. M., Monday, 16th. He states that, offen
sive operations have been suspended 'until the
roads become passable. 'On Friday, May 18,
Gen: Mead issued a congratulatory order to the
army.
Dispatches from: Gen. Sheridan to ,Priday,
May 18,' have been received. Oa the 9th, he.
destroyed'at Beaver ,Darr two fine locomotives,
100 ohms, 200;000 -11ittliacon, with other stores,
amounting to 1,500,000 rations ; also ten miles
of fike railroad and telegraph. He re-eaniared
878 of our men, inoludinfOrn colonels and an
eras other officers. On "the 11th, at Ashland; fhe
destroyed one locomotive and train of cars,
three government buildings'with a' large amount
of stores, two bridged and Six miles of telegraph
and railroad. On the same day. he drove Stu
art's rebel cavalry and captured two pieces of ar
tillery. -He then captured the first, line , of dtt
fences around Richmond, .marching; his-whole
command between their first and' "secont lines.
He had a number of encounters' with the enemy
up to the 1811, in all of which he was successful.
At 8 P. 11. Friday, 13th, Oen. Sheridan reached
the left bank of Turkey Island, effecting a junc
tion with Oen. 'Butler. The property destroyed
by Gen. Sheridan in this expedition is estimated
at $10,000,000. Richmond papers of the 13th
announce the death of Gen. J. E. B. Stuart,
from wounds in battle, no doubt in the fight with
Sheridan on the 11th.
The report, to which we alluded last week,
of the capture of Fort Darling by Gen. Butler,
was premature. At last accounts the siege of the
Fort was still progressing. On Friday evening,
May 13th, Gen. Gilmore carried the enemy's
works on the right; and the next morning, Gen.
Smith achieved another success on the right,
compelling the enemy .to retire into-three square
redoubts, upon which our artillery was brought
to bear with effect.
Gen. Ames is in a position to confine Beaure
gard to Petersburg. A reinforcement sent out
by Beauregard toward Drury's Bluff, was forded
to return. • • •
Gen. Kautz's cavalry force has destroyed sev
eral miles of railway track on the Norfolk and
Petersburg, and the Weldon railroads, including
several - bridges.
Gen. Butler is reported to have succeeded in
removing the torpedoes from James River. • A
chart showing their looation was found on a man
who was shot, while attempting to explode one.
Gen. Sigel was reported to be at Cedar Creek.
His design was probably to effect a junction
with Gen. Grant. Gen. Crooks is said to have
taken Lewisburg, the rebel forces retiring.
Of General Sherman's operations in Northern
Georgia, we have very imperfect :details. On
Tuesday, May q, the Fourth Corps, Gen. How
ard, broke camp, marching to a point three miles
north-east of Ringgold, where they threw up en
trenchments on the afternoon of the 4th. May
s th and 6th, Gene. Hooker's and M'Rherson's
corps marched to the right, 'for a flank move
ment on the rebel left. On the 7th, Gen. Howard
moved to a position'•north-west of Rocky Fteact
ridge, Stanley's division moving on the enemy's
left flank, in front of Tunnel Hill, whilst Gene.
Johnson and Davis' .divisions entered the town.
On the Bth the enemy was driven three miles.
At 3 P. M. ' and again at 6 P. M., our, troops at
tacked a rebpl position, but were repulsed with a
less of 250 killed and wounded:—another Sab
bath disaster. The rebels at, this point were
commanded by the notorious John Morgan.
On Monday, May 9, our troops carried certain
portions of Rooky Face ridge; at another point,
the assault.was unsuccessful. On the , same day
Gen. DPP/ter:lion Occupied Snake Creek .Gap, six
mile's' from Resat% and .thirty miles in the rear
of Dalton. He was permitted to seize this vat
point to, the enemy-without serious opposition.
M'Pherson also destroyed the railroad south Hof
Dalton.. At the same time, Gens. Schofield and
Howard moved from Cleveland, thue flanking the
rebels on both rig& and left. 'During the 11th
and 12th little fighting was done, the rebel posi
tion at. Dalton being too strong to justify an at
tack" in front. The result. of the flank move
ments, however, was, that Dalton was evacuated
by Johnston.
Our latest intelligence from Gen. Sherman is
contained in an otlioial bulletin from Secretary
Stanton; tietedAiy - 16,..t0 the effeCt that' on the
16th, after two days' hard fighting, the rebels
were forced to evacuate Resaca also, and at-mid
night on the 16th, Sherman's forces were in rig
orofts pursuit.
•
The news of Gen. Grant's successeititad reach
•ed the army •of the Cumberland, and inspired
universal enthuidasm. Gen. Sherman has or
dered that no person, unconnected with the mil
itary, be allowed to proceed south of Nash
ville. It is earnestly hoped that the order will
not be construed to apply to delegates of the
Christian and Sanitary Commissions.'
Expeditions under Gene. Averill and Crooks
are understood-to be well advanced upon their
*ay to South-western Virginia, to tap the rail
roads leading from Riohmond to the South-west,
and thus still more to isolate the doomed capital
of the rebellion.
From Gen. Banks' command, the intelligenoe
is not full, and suoh as it is, not the most agree
able. Banks is at Alexandria, strong enough to
resist any;attaek. M'Clernand arrived there,
with reinforcements, on the 26th of April. All
•the tranaports are below the Falls and safe M
Alexandria'. There, are eight gunboats above
the 'Falls. 'The Eadport was - bloWn up on the
,27th, to prevent her falling into the hands of the
rebels. Three transports and a gunboat, the
Signal, were fired on and destroyed, whilst at
tempting to pass a rebel battery, twelve miles
below Alexandria, and another gunboat, the
Covington, was set on fire to prevent the rebels
from obtaining it. One of the transports de
stroyed; the Emma, 'had a guard of colored
troops. Their fate is not certainly known,
though the rebels are reported to have forced
the crewintolhe hold, and then set the' boat on
fire.

during the last few.years of -herlife, yet waited
with calm resignation , till he who bought her
with his;blood shouldbid her come up higher.
