NEW YORK, May 24.-Our army il now all
gone from the front held before Spottsylvania
for the last two weeks. Our present front, while
ii puts us in a very advantageous position in
regard to fine enemy, II, al the same time covers
our communications by the way of Fredericks-
burg and Aqua Greek. The railroad between
those two points will soon be completed, and,
doubtless, placed in running order south of Fred
ericksburg as we advance. correspondent,
now with Butler, under date Of May 23d, gives
an account of midnight assault by the rebelS
On the night previous our pickets received
their fire and gradually fell back, when artillery
opened upon the advancing rebels with wither-
ing discharges of grape and canister, from siege
guns and light batteries brought to bear upon
them. The rebels were moved down like grass,
but they still advanced and were given another
slaughtering discharge, when they halted A
rebel caisson exploded scattering death in all d.
rectionS.
Our gunboats on the Appomato1 joined in
Smelling the woods where the rebel reserves were
stationed. Finally the rebels, finding our forces
10 well prepared, withdrew, leaving their dead on
tho field Our defenses were constructed by
some of cur best engineers, and are considered
almost impregnable.
1t is reported that the gunboRts of the Potomac
fotlla have removed all distractions in the Rap
pahannock. Nothing additional from Grants
army.
The Washington Republican Of last evening
SAYS that our army on Sunday noon was fifteen
miles beyond Spottsylvania Court House. and
that everything was progressing satisfactorily.
The Richmond Enquirer admits heavy losses
in the battles with Buffers forces last week, and
foots them up ut 500.
But little Is received in regard to Grants last
movements, the War Department having re-
quested the newspapers to not publish anything
on the subject at present.

FORREST UPHELD, AND APPLAuDED. - The
Richmond Examiner merely reflects the senti.
ments of its patrons when it says: Gen. Hoke
Judging from the large number of prisoners. docs
not seem to have made such thorough work as
that by which Forrest has 80 shocked the tender
souls and frozen tho warm blood OF the Yankees
The resistance he encountered was probably not
30 desperate and the blood Of the victors not so
heated. The strict laws Of civilized warfare nc
knowledge the power Of the victor to put all to
the sword in such cases. However severe such
an example might seem, II would strike a salu-
tary terror in the Yankees, which will be useful
to them in the end, and their melancholy whining
1t meeting part of the punishment their bar
barities deserve Is absurd" A correspondent
writing from Mississippi says: General Ross
has broken up q plantation near Snyders Bluff,
killing some fifty negro soldiers who were guard
ing the workmen. The killing was applaudrd.
Take no negro prisoners is the cry In which all
Join. 1t is proper. 1t is a small part of the ca.
lamty which the abolitionist has brought upon
the negro 1t is doing the negro wrong. The
white officer commanding the squad, more than
the black soldiers, deserve death, and more than
he, the Major. General who directs the movements
Of the bnck regiment. II is the white man who
is Infamous. culPable, but self-preservation re-
aures that there be no rule but that of extermin-
alton with armed negroes. 1t might be well TO
have no other rule with these white fellows"
