full. compel us to omit the telegraphic news, and
make up a summary.
a Richmond paper of the 10th May aeknowl-
edges that Grant had won a victory on the 18th.
and admits that the slaughter among the rebels
was terrible.
On Wednesday the 18th. a battle was fought,
brought on by an attempt on the part of Lee to
get at Grants trains on his right flank, which
compelled Grant to re-occupy his position of the
day before. The Union troops were moved up to
within short range of the rebel e~arthworks. from
which a murderous fire was opened on them. oc-
casioning considerable loss. but the position was
held until Grants artillery was brought TO bear.
when under its cover the troops charged upon
the first line of rifle pits and captured both pris-
oners and guns. Later dates state the attack
was made TO enable q movement of the right
flank Of the Union army on the fredericksburg
railroad, which proved successful, as it entered
and held an advanced position on the enemv's
right. After this, slight diminishing took place
until the 18th, when the rebels made q detour to
the west. crossing the Ny River, striking a point
within a quarter of a mile Of the headquarters
of Grant and Meade, where but two regiments
were posted at the time. Tyler's division was
brought up and drove the rebels back into the
woods with great loss. Guinney's Station was
occupied by Grant on the 18th. while a telegram
