WrLLrAMsroRr, May 2e.---4 r. II,
70 the Pesiderh: ~ -
have the honor to report the safe
arrival of my command ut this place
last evening at 10 clock, and the pas
sage Of the 5th corps across the river
to-day with comparatively little loss of
men in killed, wounded and missing.
In the different contests in which my
command has participated since its
march from Strasburgh, on the morn>
ing Of the oath, I am unable now to
report, but have the great satisfaction
in being able to say, although serious,
our loss is much less than might have
been anticipated, considering thevery
great disparity Of forces engaged and
the matured plans of the enemy, which
aimed at nothing less than the capture
of our force. A detailed statement will
be forwarded as soon as possible. My
command encountered the enemy in a
constant succession Of attacks and in
well contested engagements at Stras
burgh, Middle:own and Newton. AT
a point between these places and at
Winchester the force Of the enemy
was estimated at from lO,0O0 to 90
900, with strong artillery and cayal-
ry support, and my own force consist
ed OF two brigades, less than 4,0O0
strong, all told, $50 cavalry, 10 Parrot
guns, smooth bores. The s,lhstan-
tial preservation of the entire support
ing train is 4 source Of qualification
It numbered abont 500 wagons. On a
forced march of So miles, IS Of which
were performed in one day, subject 10
constant attacks, in front, rear and
flank, according to its position, by the
enemy in full force. The panics of
teamsters and the mischances of river
passage of more than 200 yards, with
slender preparations for fording and
ferrying, / lost not many more than SO
wagons. Our troops are in good spir-
its and occupy both sides of the river.
