FRIDAY,s BATTLE

New YORK, MAY 9.-The Times has
the following:
WASHINGTON, May 5, lMidnight. -
Your special correspondent, writing
from headquarters, at Wilderness Tav-
crn, Friday evening, gives the follow
ing intelligence ola great battle on Fri
day:
The day has closed upon q terribly
hard fought field, and the Army of the
Potomac has added another to its list Of
murderous conflicts.
Lee'stactics,so energctically employed
at Charlottesville and Gettysburg of
throwing his whole army, first upon
one wing and then upon the other, has
again been brought to bear; but l re-
joice that the Army of the Potomac
has repulsed the tremendous onslaught
of the enemy, and stands to night solid
ly in the position it assumes this NOR
ming.
The first attempt was made upon
Iancock's right, somewhat weakened
in numbers by the battle of yesterday,
but tho iron old Second Corps nobly
stood its ground.
Then the enemy hurled his battal-
ions upon Scdgwick, and, once or twice
gained temporary advantage, but the
old veterans were nobly rallied and re-
pulsed therebels with fearful slaughter.
About halfpast four in the afternoon,
Leo made feint npon the whole line,
then suddenly fell with his whole force
upon Sedgwick, driving him back tenn
porarily, but the advantage was soon
regained and the rebels hurled back
with great loss. I
Night now came on and it is believed
at headquarters, this hour, that Lee
has withdrawn from our front, al
though the nature of the ground has
bccn of a terrible character, most of it
being so thickly wooded as to render
all movement impossible, and to con-
ccal entirely the operations of the enc.
my. Yet, he has been signally repuls.
ed in all his attacks, and nothing butt
nature Of the battlefield has pre- vented
it from being crushing defeat. The
loss on both sides has been very heavy,
but at this hour of hasty writing | can
not give an estimate.

Tnn RAN.

, AS usual, after several days heavy
6khting we have had several days
,hsAyy raining. The time which elaps-
ed between the battles Of Thursday
and Friday and the rain Of Tuesday
and Wednesday, was about the same
as that which elapsed between Nc
Clellan's battles on the PeninSula and
the heavy rain which followed. These
things have been so closely connected
in the history ofbattles, that they must
sustain to each other the relation Of
cause and effect. After the seven
days fighting on the Peninsula, there
was an Indian Summer, dense haze,
hanging over the hills in this section,
and lasting for seven Or eight days
The like was never known before in
the month of July, and the phenome-
non needs accounting tor.
We shall be happy if the rain does
not interfere with Gen. Grants opera
tions. 1t would be unpleasant to have
the capture of Richmond delayed on
account of rain. Nevertheless a show
or Of rain sometimes determines the
fate of empires. Hugo says, speaking
of the battle OF Waterloo, in order to
change the history and face of Europe,
Providence needed only little show
er of rain. We have, however, an abb
ding faith, that whether it rains or
shines, Richmond will be captured
and the rebel Confederacy wiped from
the face Of the earth.

money, an article in quest of by the
