Maysville weekly bulletin. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1864-1866, 1864-05-19
From the Cincinnati Times May l7th.

NIGHT by telegraph is to the effect that the
contending armies of the last are at present
in aamud bound" condition. LEE has fall.
len back only to such distance as viii Sc
cure him strong position, where it is evil
dent he intends to make another strong eff
fort to oppose further advance of the Fed
eral armies. -
In the meantime Gen. GRANT is imporov-
ing the time by arranging his army in q
more suitable manner for another hotly
contested engagement. HANCOCK now
holds the extreme right, Burnside aud
wRIGHT the center, while WARREN is on tn
left. The headquarters ofthe army have
been moved somewhat in advance OF their
late location.
LEE is reported to have been reinforced
by troops from Georgia aud North Carolina.
Whatever truth there may be in this. We
cannot well imagine that he could have re-
ceived aid from any other quarter.
Gen. SHERMAN has had severe engage
ment at Resaca His loss is said to be about
three thousand. He has, however gained
great advantages over the Rebel army
Resaca is situated in mountainous portion
of Northern Georgia, and it caa hardly be
expected that the Rebels should be routed
from their strongholds there without the
loss of life. 49,
Information relative to Rebel Generals
said to have been wounde is contrad ictory
of former reports. Gen. STUART is not kill
led; LoKGsTREET is not mortally wounded,
and LEE is not wounded at all. 49,
Everything seems to be in favorable con-
diton with Gen. BUTLER. The enemy's
guns in the earthworks near the fort had
been silenced at the latest advices from that
quarter. General BUTLER commands in
person.
The fact that Gen. HoKE's forces now
hold Fort Darling, is evidence that nearly
the entire Rebel troops, except JoHNsoN's
and PoLK's armies are in the defenses around
Richmond. HoKE was the capturer OF Ply
mouth, North Carolina, and com mander Of
all the Rebel troops in that State. When
the force in Virginia is destroyed, JEFF DA-
Wis will have no army to fall back upon.
Our total losses in the late battles of the
East, exclusive of those of BURNsIDE's corps
is footed up at u 500 killed, wounded cap
tured and missing.
Soldiers are being hurried to the front
from all quarters. The Eighty-sixth Ohio
which has been doing guard duty at Camp
Chase, and the One Hundred and Twenty
eight, which has been stationed at ohnson's
Island, have been ordered to move.
By the arrival of the City of London we
learn that the Secession sympathizers in the
British Parliament are trying to raise an is
sue with the Ministry in relation to the per-
mission given the United States troops in
Minnesota to enter British territory. The
Justice of the case that they merely express
their willingness to produce the papers, aud
do not trouble themselves to make any la
bored explanations. The facts are simply
that band of the plunderiDg aud murder
ing Sioux had stationed themselves just
north of the line which separates Upper
Minnesota from the British possession, re-
turning whenever they could get chance
to commit any depreciation, and then retreat
ing to their refuge again. Application was
made and permission granted for our soldiers
to chase the red rascals to their fancied ref
uge and take them into custody.
10 O'CLOCK DISPATCHES.
Our dispatches received this morning state
that the Rebels are Strengthening their line
in front of GRANT. The Federal command
er is, however, shifting his position in such
a manner that the new line of dsfenses may
not be of much avail.
Generals MEADE and WRIGHT, it seems,
made narrow escape on Saturday last
while riding beyond our lines. A sudden
attack was made Immediately after on our
left, she final result was that we regained
the ground SO unexpectedly occupied by
the Rebels.
An immense estimate is furnished Us as I
to the strength of the Rebel army. LEE is
reported to have under his immediate COM
m and about $50 900 men. We are inclined
to doubt the statement.
The Richmond Examiner of the 18th has
the following: =. !
ssteele's army, 600 strong. surrendered
to Dick Taylor at Camd den. Arkansas. on the
18th. Price had demanded the surrender
of Alexandria,
