A dispatch from Edinburg, She
nandoah Valley, says that q reconois-
sance i'll force found the enemy 1000
strong in front of us. We had very
little skirInishing up to this time. A
dispatch dated from the 9th corps
says: Lesslie's reconnaissance Tues
day evening was of incalculable benz
eft. 1t misled the rebels into the be-
lief that we intended to cut the army
in two and oblige them to concentrate
in the centre, SO that our right and
left obtained neutrality-suspicious.
"A dispatch from Gen Hunters army
says that one of our wagon trains was
fred on last Tuesday by guerrillas
and one OF, the guard wounded. Gen.
Hunter therefore ordered the houses
of two prominent secessionists burned

NEW York, May 30.
The Times special says: Grants re-
connoisance Oh Thursday showed the
rebels in full force and holding a po-
sition on our immediate front some
what in advance of Little river. The
ground was favorable to him and he
had occupied every house in fortify-
ing. If driven back from there even,
he had deliberately prepared the line
Of works at the South Anna to fall
back upon. Grant therefore determin-
ed to recross the North Anna, swing
around to and over the Paunmky and
leave Lee to enjoy his position.
A cavalry demonstration was made
to divert the attention of the enemy
while Grants movements took place.
1t proved a success, for when it was
accomplished the rebels were COM
pletely taken by surprise. The Her
dlfs correspondence says: A wounded
rebel officer says their loss in the late
battles reached 10000
Tho Times says Testers brigade,
containing the 10th Regulars, 35th,
Both, 57th and 59th Massachusetts,,
and 4th Regulars met with repulse
while crossing the North Anna. They
had crossed the river and were driv-
ing in the rebel skirmishers, when a
charge was made and instantaneously
from a concealed battery of or 6guns
the rebels opened terrible fire of
grape and canister.
The brigade cell back to the
cover of piece of woods, when in the
height of thunder storm the rebels
charged and drove our men towards
the river. Another brigade now came
up and checked the advance of the
enemy. About $50 of the brigade
were killed, wounded or missing.
WASHINGTON, May 30, 8 A. M.

ment took place between the enemy

were driven back with loss of 2, 500
killed and wounded left in our hands
and about 300 prisoners. Our loss
