BERMUDA HUNDRED, May 1S.-The Director
of Transportation of Wounded informs me
that nearly fire thousand eff our men were cap
tured, wounded and killed on Monday. Near
ly the whole Of Heckman's brigade are either
killed, wounded or missing.
Our forces have fallen back to within five
miles Of this place. They are no longer
menacing Fort Darling.
Midnight Attack by the Rebels.
BERMUDA HUNDRED, Va, May 1s.-About
twelve o'clock last night the rebels made a
demonstration on our front, which lasted until
about three O'Clock this morning. The scene
of the engagement was about a mile and half
from General Glllmore's headquarters. The
rebels retreated. badly whipped, leaving a
large number Of dead on the ground. We had
but three killed and four wounded. The rebels
were thoroughly punished for their temerity.
BERMUDA HUNDRED, May 1s.-The army
now occupies the old position, the one which
it first took about five miles beyond. 1t is no
longer in front Of Fort Darling.

CHEERING NEWS FROM THE FRONT.

CHEERING NEWS FROM THE FRONT.
I'VE have information through a gentleman
whom we know to be entirely reliable, who
left Meade's headquarters last evening, that
Gen. nj. few minutes before his departure,
stated to him that our entire loss In the en-
eagement of the day before was about five
hundred in killed, wounded, missing, and
stragglers, which latter include the few pris-
oners taken by the rebels.
This estimate OF General MS did not in
clude Burnside's losses. which according to
information leaving the front a few hours after
our informant started) amounted to one fourth
Of the whole loss, bringing our loss up to six
hundred and fifty, all told.
General Meade was entirely satisfied with
the result of the days movement, as while
securing for us the indispensable information
concerning the Rebels position and force it
was designed to obtain, we inflicted a much
larger loss in killed, wounded and prisoners,
than we incurred.
The information obtained by the movement,
doubtless caused some changes in the pro.
gramme for yesterday.
There was no fighting Of moment yesterday,
though it is highly probable that heavy ac-
ton has taken place to-day.
The Third Division Of the Fifth Corps had
some fighting yesterday in reconnaissance Of
the rebel works beyond the Pc river, and lost
some in killed and wounded. The Division
subsequently rejoined the main army.

PHILADELPHIA, May 20.-Oincinnat papers

brilliant victory by Gen. Averill on the right
OF the main body of Crooks army.
On the 10th Averill reached point within
four miles Of Wytheville where he encoun-

Gen. Sam Jones, and fought them four hours,
driving them-killing and wounding many and
capturing some prisoners.
Under cover of darkness the enemy retreated.
Our loss was one hundred and twenty killed
and wounded and none missing.
Near Blacksburg Gen. Averill commenced
destroying the railroad, which was most efec-
