The success is brilliant, and you may

A dispatch to the Associated Press,
dated Headquarters near Williamsburg
May A, says: The advance under
Gen. Stoneman reached this place, two
and a half miles from Williamsburg, at.
o'clock this afternoon. As we ap--
preached the enemy's works, a regi-,
ment of cavalry was seen in line of bat
tie about a mile off. Captain Gibbons
battery opened on the rebels very eff
fective fire, but didn't change their
course. The rebels opened on us from
behind an earthwork. A portion OF
the LIST and 9th Cavalry then charged.
on the advancing foe, and hand 10 a.
hand fight ensued None of our men
were captured, but We took number
of rebels prisoners. Gibbons battery
had IA horses killed. Lieut.. De Wolf
was MORALLY wounded. One gun was
lost by sticking fast in the mud. L:out.
Benton, lst cavalry, and ten men were
others of the 9th cavalry are slightly
wounded. Tho rebel cavalry was
forced to abandon their position, but
our want of infantry prevented us from
advancing on the works. We then
fell back to await the coming of our
infantry. llancock's Brigade soon ar
rived, but it was concluded to defer
operations till to morrow. The enemy
was still retreating beyond Williams
burg, but their rear guard was very
strong.
Monday, May s..

will occupy Williamsburg carly this
morning. --.------,.

The Battle of Shiloh.

Gen. Grant has written letter in
which he wrathfully denies that his
army was surprised at Pittsburg Land
ing, and asserts that the charges
against him emanate from officers who
proved towards on the field. The
weight of testimony is most decidedly
against Gen. Grant unless his unsup-
ported word outweighs that of every
other witness. Newspaper correspon-
dents, officers and privates, all unite in
declaring that the army was surprised
and most disgracefully. Gen. Grant,
in denying it, must only speak for him.
self. He may not have been surprised,
for he may have expected the attack.
1t is certain that he had warning
enough of it., and it is equally certain
that he took no steps to guard against
it. 1t is notorious that his headquarters
were. at Savannah, eleven miles away
from the battle field, and although tele-
graphed at daylight that the army was
attacked, he paid no attention to the
message, land, in fact. did not arrive on
on the field until late in the afternoon.
Not only this, but it is said on undoubt-
ed authority that Gen. Grant was in
toxicated the night before the battle.

STOREY ON A MISUNDERSTANDING
to the Detroit Adyertiser, Wilbur f.
Storey, Gate editor of the Detroit Free
Press, while on visit to Detroit last
week, got on bender, and upon retir-
firing to his hotel, under the influence
of bad liquor, attacked one of the por-
tiers for which he was arrested. But
by some hocus pocus the matter was
hushed up, and this " fire in the rear''
patriot, managed to escape the clutches
of the law.
