A Race for News from
Hancock and Warren
Steamer ADVERTISEMENTS knock
down and drag out at WashinEton-
sherman advancing ON Atlanta.
New YORK, May 28.-The Herald's cor
respondent at Headquarters says that oul
line Of advance from Bowling Green is due
south towards Richmond. Lee has longer
distance to march, and the probabilities are
that we shall reach there first. Lee may, by
forced marches, arrive at the same time, but
will be so exhausted that the result of an en-.
gagement cannot be doubtful.
A dispatch dated Old Chesterfield, nea,
North Anna, 23d, 10 Pm, says: The news
from Warren and Hancock is beyond our
expectations. Both Corps effected lodgment
on the right bank Of the North Anna late
this evening. After sharp and decisive en-
gagement, each crossing, succeeded in carry
ing the enemy's rife pits and driving him
completely from his vantage ground.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Dispatches from
Grant this morning inform the Department
that the rebel army holds strong position be-
tween North and South Anna, where his
forces appear to be concentrated. 1t will
probably require two or three days to devel-
ope his intentions. The Ninth Corps has
been incorporated with the Army Of the Po-
tomac. No other dispatches have been re-
ceived from any other field of operations.

New YORK, May 27.-Our losses, accor-
ding to the Herald, on the 23d and oath, do
not exceed five thousand in killed, wounded
and missing, while that of the enemy
amounts to that number in killed and wound
ed. We took one thousand prisoners.
The Worlds special, dated on the morning
Of the 25th, says the entire army is on the
south bank of the North Anna.
New YORK, May 27.-The Champion, from
Aspinwall May 18th, with $50, 900 in treasure,
arrived.
New YORK, May IA special to the
Herald says an ARRAY occurred on Wednes-
day, at the National Hotel, between Senator
Chandler, Of Michigan, and Voorhees,, of
Indiana, in which the latter slapped the for
mer's face. Hannegan, friend of Voorhees,,
interfered, and was in turn assaulted by
Chandler. Hannegan struck Chandler with
pitcher, dragged him to the floor by the
hair, and cuffed him until the ARRAY was
stopped by bystanders. The fight originated
in Chandler denouncing Democrats in such
manner that Voorhees, construed his re-
marks as personal to himself.
CHICAGO, May PA Chattanooga dis
patch, dated May 2lst, says Sherman's head
quarters were at Kingston last night, twenty
two miles from Dalton, and sixty-two from
Atlanta. Our advance was then some ten
miles south of Kingston. There had been
no severe fighting since the affair at Resaca,
but there is continual skirmishing. Many
prisoners are taken, and deserters are coming
in who represent Johnson's army so far dis
pirited as to render a respectable stand short
Of Atlanta an inpossibility.
Johnston is reported to have fifty thousand
to seventy thousand men, inclusive of ten
thousand Georgia militia, at Atlanta, engaged
on the Notifications. Much Of Johnston's
army is composed of the same material, and
behaves quite poorly. Scho6eld's corps, it is
reported, suffered much. Numbers Of his
wounded are now at Chattanooga.
