It seems very strange to read Of such
things 10 the third year of the war, aud in
the capital of the nation. Yet so it is, not
only there, but everywhere. ,Sympathiaers
with the rebellion have fattened 10 almost
every little city aud town on Government

have been willing to swear outward loyal

1t was thought that the rebels were probably
falling back, or that Gen. Lee had already gone
to Richmond to meet Gen. Smith, who was re-
ported being close to that place, and therefore
a move was determined on on our part, and our
| forces commenced moving at 81 o'clock on Mon
day evening.
The entire line moved forward the right con-
sisting of Gen. Birney's and Gen. Gibbons di-
visions of the I'd Corps, and Gen. Carroll's brig
ade on the left, joined Gen. Warren the latter
being in the center, with the 9th Corps forming
the left.
The right crossed branch of the River Pc
and charged on light horse battery, which was
posted to cover small bridge but which quick
ly limbered up and started off, the skirmishers
supporting it also retreating.
In the front of Warren and on the left of Han
cock quite lively engagement ensued the shell
and round shot from one of the enemy's bat
teries placed in the woods coming in rather close
proximity to some lOokers-on in an open field
in the rear of Gen. Warren's headquarters. and
causing stampede of the crowd there.
The enemy driven back about three.
fourths of a mile, and at dark the firing ceased.
A few prisoners were captured during this
skirmish They belonged to Wilcox's division
of Zen. Hills corps.
TUESDAY, May 10th.
At II o'clock to-day, the most desperate of all
the battles yet fought was commenced. 1t con-
hnued up to nearly o'clock. In logged Stub
bornness, Waterloo and Selferino pale before
the terrific onslaught of Tuesday afternoon on
the banks of the Pc. Two divisions of Burn
sides Corps held the right, the 5th and 9th Corps
the centre, and the I'd Corps the left. Our line
stretched six miles on the northeast bank of the

nition and could not.
Gen. Grant and Gen. Meade were in the saddle
constantly, personally directing movements 1t
was arranged that the entire 9th Corps should
charge the enemy's right flank, but pending the
severest onslaught made by Lee just before dark,
it was discovered that he had advanced around
our right flank and was moving down in dense
columns for last and after-dark struggle to
break through our lines and dash upon our sup
ply trains, then known to be parked on the plank
road to Fredericksburg.
This changed Gen. Burnside's purpose and he
securely held his ground and threatened the en-
emy's extreme right, while the 9Th Corps charged
his right centre, and lat o'clock) drove him
from his first line of rifle pits, capturing five
guns and between two and three thousand pris-
oners.

SATURDAY MORNING. May Z.
With the exception of the line occupied by the
9th Corps yesterday our original positions are
held this morning at o'clock.
Brig. Gen. Barlow, commanding the LIST Divi-
sion, occupied the extreme left of the I'd Corps !,
Motifs Division and portion of Gen. Gibbons
division held the centre, while Birney, with his
own division, Robinson of the 5th, Stevenson's
brigade of the 9th, and Carrolls and Owens
brigade of the I'd Corps was stationed on the
right, his line facing westward and extending
across the plank road running from Chancellors-
vile to Orange Court House.
At precisely a. an advance of the I'd Corps
was ordered, and with cheers our men charged
through dense thicket, surprising the enemy
while at breakfast, and driving them in confu-
sion from their temporary works, literally
strewing the ground with the bodies of their
killed and wounded, and capturing large num-
Der of prisoners
The Rebels, astonished at the celebrity of Han
cocks movements, were unable to rally until we
had pursued them two and half miles from the
Brock road, running in north westerly direc-
ton to Parker's store, when, re-enforced by
Longstreet, who the night previous had come up
to within six miles of the battlefield a stand
was made, and terrific musketry fight ensued
lasting until noon. Charge after charge was
made by both sides, and often repulsed up
to that time, when, owing to an accidental cir
eumstance, our tines were forced to fall back to
the Brock road
At about IL m. a thanking column of the enemy
charged on the double-quick through the inter-
val between Gems. Motifs and Wards commands
forcing back in some confusion several regiments

desperate charge was made in 'front.' and our
line yielding at lastto the terrific onslaught, fell
back contesting the ground to the Brock road,
where the troops were placed under the shelter
of temporary works constructed of logs and
abatis on the day previous. AS the position on
the right of the I'd Corps was evidently the point
which the enemy specially coveted, Maj Gen.
Birney's command was made to consist of nearly
a whole corps. Against his command has been
hurled all the morning the combined forces of
Longstreet and Hill in their persistent attempts
to pierce our line.
Pen cannot convey an idea of the gallantry
which our troops exhibited in yesterdays en-
gagement Officers and men concur in the
opinion that the muslxetry fire was even heavier,
except occasional intervals of Is or 20 minutes,
than at the battle of Antietam.
The Rebels, in their characteristic manner,
charging with demoniac yells, were each time
calamity met, and in every assault but one hur1-
ed back beyond their original lines.
AT 24 p. NJ, the enemy, massing more
charged upon the position along the Brock road
to which we had been forced to retire at noon,
and with such overwhelming violence that they
penetrated our lines at the intersection of the
road mentioned and the pike leading to Orange
Court House, and planted color on the work.
For moment the safety of the corps was in i'm
minent danger; many of our men, demoralized,
were hurrying down the pike toward the rear,
and the Rebels yelling like so many demons,
seemed confident of success.
At this critical juncture, Col. Carroll, whose
brigade had been sent for, came up on the pike
from it's position the right of the pike and
facing his command into line charged the enemy
driving him back in rout to the woods beyond
the road In his dispatches to Gen. Meade, Gen.
Hancock accredited Colonel Carroll with saving
his own corps, and perhaps the whole army, from
disaster.
Gen. Getty received a severe wound through
the shoulder in the morning Gen. Wheaton
succeeded to the command of the division.
SUNDAY, May s.

been in every engagement during this march

desperate assault was made Gen. Hancock.
His veteran columns temporarily yielded to the
shock but soon rallying recovered their line,
and sent staggering back the massed columns
of the foe with most frightful slaughter to them.
About the middle of the afternoon the distant
boom of cannon indicated that our cavalry under
Gregg had encountered Stuart, and was engaged
in desperate conflict far beyond our extreme
left advance. This encounter resulted in loss
TO us of about 800, though the enemy were hand
somely repulsed.
Burnsides corps marched rapidly and hard
during the thickest of the fight, and moved up
to our centre, and several of it's brigades took
active part in the conflict. Other portions of the
9th remained on our extreme right as support
to Sedgwick.
Up to near dark the holly and most stubbornly
contested battle swayed to and fro without ma
terial advantages to either side though in the
main, whatever advantages there might have
been was on our side; but just the darkness
was closing in upon us, the foe by admirably
executed flank movement, turned Gen. Sedg-
wick right, and in instant his rear was
covered and overwhelmed by the Rebel hordes.
Gen. Sedgwick and many of his officers exerted
themselves to the utmost to rally their men. A
of the enemy was checked.
Thus matters remained in most exciting and
uncertain state up to about 10 p. M, when the
Rebels made another dash upon our right, yell
ing the while like savages, but our men were on
the alert, and no advantages were gained, while
the Rebels were suffering heavy loss.
