Second Dispatch.
WAsHIEGrON, May 17-9 N.
The town has been full Of conflicting
rumOrs Of disaster to-day and reinforce
ments to Lee, repulse to sigsl, and the
like, but they are all without any known
foundation. There has been no fighting
for the last three days. The roads are in
3 bad condition, and the weather still un-
settled. The prevalent impression is that
Lee has been reinforced, but there is
nothing authentic on the subject. Lees
exact position seems not we'll understood,
portions Of his lines being we'll masked in
heavy woods. There Is not much expects-
ton here Of further collision for day or
two yet.
sIeEL NOT HEARD PROM.
Sigel has not beed heard from since he
left Woodstock. There are stories that
Breckinridge, OF ming from the West, has
repulsed him and then moved on to rein
force Lee, but this is not believed. Other
stories, that Bssuregsrd has moved part
Of his troops around to west Of Richmond,
thus avoiding Butler and making long
detour to reach Lee. On the other hand,
there are rumOrs that Fort Darling has
surrendered to Buffers combined land
and naval attack, but they too are without
confirmation

General Wsdsworth's body has been re-
ceived, and is expected to arrive here TO-
day. The rebels permitted flag Of truce
to get it.
