Pa His speeches were models of elocu-

were breakers ahead. and that he had
better take another tack. So he disgui-

Reported victory.

WARRINGTON, May THE Republican
has the following:
The Government has information this
morning, whether from official sources or
other we are unable to learn positively at
the moment of going to press, that on
Wednesday at daylight General Grants
whole army was entirely across the Rapi
dan it marched to a plain a little be-
yond and near the old Charlottesville
battle-ground, when Lee was forced out of
his works and offered battle. which was
at once accepted. The fight became fierce
and lasted until dark, the enemy being
forced back some distance with great loss,
leaving most of his killed and wounded on
our hands.
The two armies lay on their arms all
night Wednesday, and at daylight on
Thursday the battle opened again and
ragged with the greatest fury on both sides
until dark, when it was found that the
| enemy had been forced back in the two
days fight about two and a half miles,
leaving heaps of dying, killed and wounded
on the field, to be buried and taken care
of by our troops.
We have heard various estimates made
of the number slaughtered, but at this
moment it is useless to speculate on the
subject. Every one knows that it must
have been terrible, and will speak TO the
sense when the facts are known.

The War.

The Army Of the Potomac has crossed
the Rapidan and commenced fighting on
Thursday evening. There is still much
mystery about the result SO far as it has
progressed. 1t appears Burnside was the
last crossing the Rapidan, and got them
all passed on Thursday evening. He had
not passed over long, before he had to
bring his men into action to assist others
who were busily engaged, and seemed to
be hard pressed in the fight AS soon as
the cannonading announced that the right
flank had been attacked, General Lee
advanced on Charlottesville and attacked
Hancock's corps, stationed there. For
two hours and half the battle ragged
with great impetuosity, Hancock losing
severely; the onward march of our army
was here checked for the time being, but
Gen. Meade ordered the line of battle to
be held till morning. 1t is said that Lees
army retreated back some miles and that

The slaughter on both sides has been very
great, as might be expected.
The intelligence from the Red river /:
of disastrous character The evacua
ton of Camden by Gen. Steele is con
firmed He abandoned the idea of taking
Shreveport and joining Gen. Banks A:
soon as Banks returned from Grand Ecore
the greater portion of the Confederate
army marched north after Steele, leaving
force to follow Banks. The day befor
Camden was abandoned, the confederate'
approached, and captured two hundred

thousand persons going to Pine Bluff
