WAR DEPARTMENT, I
May %, 8 p. m. {

To Mai. Gen. Dix:-The latest dates
fiom Gen Grants headquarters, received b y
this department, ir dated at the Mt Carmel
church, l m yesterday. The despatch
says everything is going on we'll Warren
has four hundred prisoners, Hancock some
300, and Wright hrs picked up some 200.
The whole number resulting from yestcr-
days operations will not fall shors of 1000.
Warren's loss is not over 800 killed and
wounded.
The prisoners captured who are in a
great purt North Carolinians, are much dis
couraged, and say thrt Lee has deceived
them. The pursuit is delayed
by the great fatigue Of the men, still Ham
cock and Warren will reach the South An
ma by nightiall.
Gen. Butler in despatch dated, Head
quarters, 7 o'clock this morning. reports
that Maj. Gen Fitzhugh Lee made an at
tack with cavalry, infantry and artillery on
my post at Wilson's Wharf, North side of
James river, below Fort Powhatan, garri-
soued by two regiments all negro troops,
Brig Gen Wild commanding. He was
handsomely repulsed. Before the attack
Lee sent flag stating that he had force
enough to take the place, and demanded its
immediate surrender, and in case the gar
rson should surrender they should be
turned over to the Richmond authorities as
prisoners of war, but if this proposition was
rejected, he would not be answerable for
the consequences when he took tho place.
Gen. Wild replied We will try that rein
forcements were at once sent, but the
fight was over before their arrival
Our loss is not yet reported.
No other reports of military operations
have been received by the Department,
since my telegram of $3.50 last evening.
