From dispatches received yesterday it
appears that the battle was renewed on Fri
day morning about daylight and was still
raging furiously at last accounts. The
President received dispatch from Gener-
al Lee yesterday of the most satisfactory
character. A dispatch from Major Dooly,
of the Ambulance corps, says 1.-The news is
most cheering" We may get dispatch
before our paper is put to press, containing
later intelligence. That everything is pro-
crossing favorably on the Rapidan we have
not the least doubt. The Richmond En-
1ui,er of the 7tb says that about one thou
sand seven hundred Yankee prisoners have
arrived at Orange Court House, and claims
that the Confederates were successful in the
Fridays fight, and pushed Grant back to
near Charlottesville.
Dispatches in the Richmond papers all
show that as late as Friday General Lees
headquarters remained at Orange Court
House.
Richmond papers report the following
casualties: General Longstreet, painfully
wounded in the shoulder; Brigadier Cen
eral Paul jenkins, of South Carolina, NOR
tally wounded; Colonel j. Thompson
Brown, of the First Virginia artillery, was
shot through the head and killed outright;
Colonel Warren, Eighth Virginia, Colonels
Miller, Nance, and Garther, of South Caro-
lima, were killed General Battles Alaba-
ma and Jordan's Georgia brigades suffered
severely; Colonel Randolph, of Virginia,
was killed; General j. M. Jones of Vir-
ginia was killed.
From the Richmond Enquirer, May7.l
Generals jenkins and Longstreet were
wounded by their own men, through mis-
take. General Walker, of the Stonewall
brigade, and General George II. Stewart of
Maryland, are reported killed. General

New YORK, May 14.-The Times cores
pondent from Bermuda Hundred, dated
May 10th, says, in the course of the morn
ing Gen. Butler received flag of truce
from the enemy, signed Bushrod johnson.
containing three propositions: LIST Asking
permission to come within our lines and
remove their wounded and bury their dead.
I'd. Asking an exchange of their wounded.
Sd. Asking a general exchange of prisoners
on both sides. To the first, General Butler
replied that the work was already done; to
the second, announcing himself perfectly
willing to assent and to the 3d. he replied
that no exchange of healthy and well pris-
oners could be effected until the Confeder-
ate authorities acknowledge colored SOL
diers as prisoners of war.
On the 1lth the enemy made no demon
stration except to feel our picketsfwith
their cavalry. Towards evening there was
brief engagement between our gunboats
on the AppomattoX with the Notifications
near Petersburg, shot from which blew
up Gen. Graham's steamer Brewster. The
other day shell were thrown into the fort
with great precision, and the opposing fire
was feeble.

they tore my beds and pillows to pieces, took
