Although we have suffered by raids
on the Central and Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroads, yet the review Of the
news of the past.week sums up quite
satisfactory for us. In all the en-
eeagements between Gems. Lee and
Grant, our forces lave been success
fill, which is all we can desire. The
immense preparations made 10y Gen.
Grant, whose great power has hereto
fore consisted in vast preponderance
in men, have not availed him much in
the last seven succeeding days of bat
tie and we trust that Gen. Ice and
his noble army may still continue to
thwart his plans and desires as sue
cessfully as they have thus far.
Since writing the above we have
been shown two private dispatches ::
One, dated Milford May 18th, says:
Two more days Of hard fig citing.
Thanks to God our army is stil! vic
orlous in every engagement.
The other, dated Richmond May
llsh. Gen. Lee has rcpulsed every
attack the last two days hard fighting
Casualties on our side very small.
Richmond is safe and confident.

From Arkansas.

The news from Arkansas is cheer
ing. Gen. Price is reported as hay
ing surrounded Steele demanded his
surrender. gen. Steele agreed to the
demand on the condition that his ne
groes should be treated as prisoners OF
war, Which was declined by Gen. Price
who very properly replied that the
slaves must be returned to their own
ers. a dispatch from Lynchburg
states that it is reported that Price
captured Steele with 1000 prisoners
and that Taylor had demanded the
surrender Of Banks, who is holding
Alexandria. Without authentic in
formation we give the above (as we
have the other news of the week. as a
rurnor which is current and is some
what credited.

OUR WOUNDED.

For the past few days large numbers Of
those wounded in the late fights have ar.
rived at otaunton. They were met at the
trains by many of the Ladies' of this place,
who supplied them with various little deli
oacies prepared for them. Our hospital is
full Of these gallant unfortunatss, who have
been wounded ia defending our homes and
fresdes from the ruthless invader, and
while we can nos heal their wounds By q
simple wish, We can amcliorate their condi.

generally needed for family use, which will

CONGRESSIONAL.

We have not, on account of the failure to

been able to give summary Of the proceed

give them in our next.

FIVE dollar notes on par with new issus by
decided majority. They therefore will
be subject to the discount of5o5 per cent

EEIE GREAT liTTIE

On the morning Of the 9Th Gen
Grant threw lis forces across the Rap
id Am at Lly's and Germanna Fords.
Gen Ewcll moved by the old Turn
pike road and Gen Hill by the plank
road to oppose him. Gen. Ewell WAS
5irSt attacked, near parker's Store,
Spottsylvania county and repulsed the
enemy taking prisoners, valiously es-
timated at from 500 to 1000, end
tou, pieces of artillery. They then
turned upon Gen. IIilr and were re-
pulsed by Gems IIeth and Wilcox.
Gen. Roesar's Brigade on cur right,
successfully resisted the attack of a
division Of the cnemy's cavalry. Ros-
scr's men fought splendidly and have
added greatly to their already high
fame, won on other holly contested
fields.
We held al the positions at night
when the contest closed.
The enemy again advanced on Fri
day morning on Gems. Ewell and Hill
They were again repulsed by the End
Corps, with terrible loss in front of
Gen. Early !hsesir loss was particular
l. severe. Cons. Heth and Wilcox,
Of Hills corps occupying the centre
were compelled to give back, being
hard pressed, when Gen. Longstreet
made flank movement Oh the enc
1ny's left, which relieved the centre
and the .enemy's left and centre were
driven back some two miles from their
original position. While executing
this flank movement on the enemy,
Gen. Longstrect was wounded by q
mistake of Mahone's Brigade. Gen.
Jenkins of s. G. and Col. J. Thomp-
son Brown Of the Virginia artillery,
were killed by the same fire.
Our loss in the engagements on
Thursday and Friday is supposed to
reach ROCKVILLE the enomy's is esti-
mated $4,000. These are mere guess
ings as to the respective losses but
there can scarcely be a doubt that the
Joss Of the enemy was much greater
