The National Republican,. has the follow
ing: We arc glad to be able to state the
result OF the fighting on Thursday and Fri
day is all that tho must sanguinc friends g.
the Government can desire. The dawn OF
the day Of Saturday exhibited no evidence
of the presence Of the enemy. Gen. Grant
with great promptness took advantage Of
the fight and ordered forward movement.
1t is proper to say here, that in consequence
Of such movement nothing has been heard
directly from Gen. Grant. lie has more
import ant duties to perform. 1t is believed
that Lee is fastening to the works Of Rich
mond, not only to save the remnant Of his
own army, bat to rescue, il possible, the
whole capitol from falling into the hands oil
Gen. Butler. There is little doubt Lee
wfll have to make good time to prevent
such q disaster to Davis rebel dominion.
Every thing is progressing successfully
We are in possession CT information that
she rebel authorities at Redmond, seeing
the fate which awaits the city, have taken
measures to remove eyeryt thing Of value
from the city.
Tho ten thousand wounded men upon
he field includes the wounded OF botl
,des.
The list Of killed and wounded has no,
get reached the city.
All the dispatches from the advancing
armies under Gems. Sherman, Hooker
schoiield and Washburn are as encouraging
as could be asked.
Il is believed that no GsLtipg took placs
yesterday.
A dispatch from Gen. Butler just re.
ceived and which left him yesterday states
that a demonstration had been made by bis
iofces on tie railroad between Petersburg
| aud Richmond, and had succeeded in dcs

Grants battle Of Friday has closed up

The Army Of the Potomac''has added
another to its lit .. numerous conflicts.
Lees tsctics, encryeticalIy employed
at Charlottesville aud Gettysburg, OF

been brought to bear, but rejoice that
the Army Ct the Potomac has repulscd

The first attempt was made upon
Hancock's right, mcwhat weakened
in plumbers by the battle Ct yesterday,
but the old iron second corps nobly
stood its ground. Then the enemy
hurled battalion upon Sedgewick, and
once or twice gained temporary advan-
tages, but the old veterans Of this corps
were Dobly rallied and r.pulsed the rob.
els with fearful slaus htcr.
About hat past o'clock p. N. Lee
made fcint upon the whole line, then
suddenly feJ with his whole force uron
Sedgewick, driving him back TEN porari-
~, but the advantage was soon regained
and the rebels pushed back with great

had been ordered forward to reach him.
At tie latest dates Gen. Banks was q,

given that he designed .o'leaye that posi-

Gen. Banks to afford protection to the gun

enough, under competent command, to BID

Tie Republican has the following:
The Government has information this
morning, whether from official sources OF
other we are unable to be positive at the
moment Of going to press, that on "ednes-
day, at daylight, Gen. Grants whole army
was entirely across the Rapidan.
II marched to place little beyond and
ne ar the old Charlottesville battle gsound,
when Lee vas forced cut Of Lis works, and
offered battle, which was at once accepted
The fight became fierce, and lasted until
dark, the enemy being forced some distance
with great loss, leaving most Of his dcac
and wounded ia our handle. The two ar
mics lay on their arms all night Wednes-
day.
AT daylight on Thursday tho battle
opened again, and ragged with the grestcs'
fury on both sides until dark, when it wa
found that the enemy lad been forced back
ia the two days light about two miles and
haiti, leaving heaps Of dying, dead and
wounded On the field, to be buried AID t.
ken care Of by our troops.
We have heard various estimates mad.
of tho number slaughter ed, but at this mo
ment it ia useless TO speculate on tho sub
jet. Every ono knows it must have been
| terrible.
On Friday morning at ) o'clock the fore
| cs were lnarshalling for another conflict.
