WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, May 31-s p. M.
To Major General Die:
A dispatch from Gen. Grant dated at @
o'clock this morning at Howes' snop, has
just been received. 1t is as follows: The
enemy came over on our left last evening,
and attacked. They were repulsed with
very considerable slaughter. 10 relieve
Gen. Warren, who was on the left, speedily,
Gen. Meade ordered an attack by the bal
ance of our lines.
Gen. Hancock was the only one who re-
ceived the order in time to make the attack
before dark. He drove the enemy from his
intrenched skirmish line and still holds it.
have no report Of our losses, but suppose
them to be light.
Other official dispatches, not from Gen.
Grant, were received at the same time and
gave more details. These are as follows,
the first being dated yesterday, May 30,
SP.M.:
| In the course of the afternoon Warren
has pushed down on our left, until his flank
division, under Crawford, reached point
west of Shady Grove Church. Crawford,
having got detached from the rest of the
corps, was attacked and driven back little.
The enemy then threw force, which APP
pears to have consisted of Ewell's corps,
upon Warren's left, attempting to turn it,
but was repulsed.
| The engagement was short, sharp and
decisive. Warren holds his ground at a
distance of seven miles from Richmond
He reports that he has taken considerable
number of prisoners, and that there are
many rebel dead on the field. OF his own
losses he has made no report. His latest
dispatches say the enemy is moving troops
to his lefs apparently to clear the approach
to Richmond in that direction.
On our right an active conflict has been
raging ever since dark, but has just closed.
AS soon as the enemy attacked the left of
Warren, Wright and Hancock were ordered
to pitch IN, but do not seem to have got
ready until after nightfall. No report has
yet been received from them.
The other dispatch above referred to is
dated at 6 o'clock this morning, and states
that in Hancock's attack last night, Col.
Brooks drove the enemy out of a strongly
intrenched skirmish line, and holds it. The
losses are not reported.
Burnside's whole corps got across the
creek last evening, and is in full connec-
tion with Warren's. The left of Hanceck's
rests upon this side of the creek. The Sixth
corps is upon Hancock's right, and threat
ems the left flank of the enemy. Smith
ought to arrive at Newcastle by noon,
whence he can support Warren and Burn
side, if necessary. Sheridan, with Gregg
and Torbett's divisions of cavalry, is on our
left flank,
Wilson is on the right and rear for pur-
poses reported in former dispatch. The
country thereabouts is thickly wooded with
pines with good opening. The indications
this morning are that the enemy has fallen
back south of the Chickahomy. Nothing
of later date has been received by this
department.

A DESPERATE SICK MANA sick man,
on his way from Nashville to his home in
Philadelphia, stopped at the Buckeye House
the other night, and at late hour became
deranged, and under the impression that
some one was trying to rob him, he jumped
out of window in the second story on to
the pavement. The clerk found him unin-
jured, and returned him to his room, but he
again bolted out of the window. He had
about one hundred dollars in money which,
under the hallucination that somebody
wanted to steal from him, he threw away.
He was found, again unhurt by the police,
who, at his own request, took him to the
station-house. the last refuge he had against
his imaginary pursuers. The police also
found his money, which was returned to
him yesterday, and he resumed his journey
"a journey which will doubtless prove his
last one In this world.

A HARD CAsE.-Jim Mack, an old peni-
tentiarY bird arrested the other day for
burglary, was examined before the Mayor
yesterday, and committed for trial. He re-
quested the Mayor to pass sentence upon
him Immediately, and send him back to his
old quarters in the State Prison, from which
he was discharged week ago. He said he
did not like this thing of running about the
country and dodging through one horse
prisons; and beside that he was afraid some
other chap would get his cell in the Peni-
tentiary. He expressed his regret when
told that the law must have its usual course,
and he must stand trial.

THE CITY.

LOST AND FoUND.-On Saturday last Q
little year-oldcr--son Of Lucien Thrall
of the Gazette, who is now In the army-left
home on fishing excursion to the river,
and did not return. His mother, sup
posing that he had been drowned, was
naturally enough terribly distressed about
him. Nothing was heard of him until Mon
day, when officer Dewitt received notice OF
an urchin answering his description from
some station between this city and Cincin-
natl, OH the Little Miami Railroad. After
telegraphing back and forwards until yes
terday morning, the wandering boy was
placed upon the morning train and arrived
here. The mother refused to believe that
her child was still alive until she had seen
him before her, little the worse for the
wear and tear of his wardrobe by his ad-
ventures; but the mothers eye recognized
him and there was an affecting scene at the
depot, which need not be described. De-
Witt was summoned to appear as witness
in case on trial In the Common Pleas
Court; but he was so deeply interested in
recovering the lost boy, and his presence
being necessary to accomplish it, that he
neglected the summons. An attachment
to compel him to appear was issued, and
the child having been restored, he did APP
pear. Upon an explanation being given,
Judge Bates Immediately released the Off
Ger, .and also relieved him of the costs of
getting out the attachment.

Important Official Dispatch from

WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, May 3l-4 p. M.}


WASHINGTON, May 3l-4 p. M!}
To Mqior General Die:
We have dispatches from Gen. Grant
down to A O'clock yesterday afternoon.
There seemed, the dispatch says, to be some
prospect of Lees making stand north of
the Chickahominy. His forces were on the
Mechanicsville road south of Totopotomy
Creek, between that stream and Hawes'
shop, his right resting on Shady Grove.
Dispositions for an attack were being made
by Gen. Grant. Wilson's cavalry had been
ordered to destroy the railroad bridges over
the Little river and the South Anna, and
break up both roads from these rivers to
two miles southwest of Hawes' shop,
where the headquarters of our army were
established. There is as yet no telegraphic
line of communication with Washington.
A dispatch from Gen. Sherman, dated
yesterday May 30th, s A. NJ, reports no
change In the position of the armies. Some
slight skirmishing had occurred subsequent
to the affair of Saturday. No intelligence
from any other quarter has been received
by this Department.

What the Richmond Examiner
Says.

NEW YORK, May 3l.-The Richmond Ex-
aminer of the 26th speaks of the gloomy
placidity prevailing in the city, caused by
the closing of all stores, shops, &C., for the
purpose of bringing into service all the
arms-bearing men. The families of poor
militia men, it says, continue to mingle
crusts. The extortioners in the markets
continued to swell their profits and bless
the wisdom of those in authority. The peo-
pie have grown sick of wrongs inflicted
upon them within the brief space Of few
weeks, and be sure they will treasure them
up. Ht.#
