GEN. r.. e. LEES DISPATCHES.
MILFORD, May Sd, 1863.
To President Dagis -
Yesterday General Jackson penetra
ted to the rear Of the enemy and drove
him from all his positions from the Viii
derness to within one mile of Chancel
lorsville.
He was engaged at the same time in
front by two of Longstreet's divisions.
Many prisoners were taken, and the
enemy's loss in killed and wounded is
large.
This morning the battle was renewed
He was dislodged from all his posi-
tons around Charlottesville, and driv.
en- back towards the Rappahannock
over which he is now retreating..
We have again to thank Almighty
God for great victory.
| regret to state that Gen. Paxton was
killed, Gen. Jackson severely, and Gen
Heth and A. Phil slightly wound,
