The Star says that from the fact that no

position, has taken care to put himself out
Of immediate fighting range, if he has
not actually moved of rapidly towards

The public may expect to hear soon Of
the occurrence Of the next fight if Lee has
not been g. weakened as to compel him to
seek the cover Of the Richmond fortifca-

Of Lynchburg and Stanton, from which
point his army has received its supplies

tinued throughout the afternoon Of the 18th,
and terminated before night fall, with vic
tory for our troops. The fight was more
terrible than in the fore noon. We added
largely to our prisoners and pun
ished the enemy more Sc
Verely than on any previous
day. We have over 5000 prisoners, while
we have not lost ever half that number,
and only three spiked guns. Every bat
terry in the corps was engaged, disoharging
five hundred rounds each. Nearly sll the
other batteries in the other corps were al
50 used. General Wright and two Of his
staff we're slightly wounded by q shell, but
did not leave the field. The wounded in the
9th Corps sum up over 800 in to-dsy's
fight. The 9th Massachusetts,, which left
Culpepper Court House with 600 muskeis,
has but SO men left. The I'd Vermont,
which had $50 muskets, has but 130 left.
The 4th Michigan which had 277 at the first

attack was to have been made at daylight,

Third Dispatch.

Several Senators and Representatives
returned from fredericksburg AMI the
front this morning.
General Grants headquarters has
been moved forward to spottsylVs.
mia Court House. Ttere had been
no fighting after o'clock yesterday
morning up to 10. Negro troops behaved
very well on Tuesday. The rebels shouted
out no quarters 10 negroes, and they re-
piled they would be very glad to fight on
these terms, and thus kept their word
They went in handsomely, fought about
twenty minutes, repulsed the enemy, and
took no prisoenrs. Grants policy has been
to use the veterans to do the heavy fight
ing, and then to pour forward his negroes
and other raw troops.
Rebel officers say that Lee announced
to his army after every days fighting that
we bsd won brilliant victory at Freder-
icksburg.
The wounded are well ca ed for. The
Sanitary and Christian Commissions, and
Medical Department have furnished
stores, nurses, and everything needful.
The road from the battle field is in bad
condition and jsmmed with long wagon
trains.

dispatch to the LEADER was received at
