IF Gen. Foster succeeds in his mission
and carries this rebel stronghold we can
then reduce Fort Darling by erecting a
counter work. A heavy line of entrench-

concentrating sweeping fire on Drury S
Bluff, is the evident design OF Grant in his
next operation.
The capture of Fort Darling virtually

ASHLAND, May 0, 1864.
Generals Jones and Rickett wounded. Gen.
Butler whipped B~eauregard and cut the T. d
R. R. R.. Gen. Dix says we have intelligence
this morning by scouts direct from the army
as late as Saturday eve, but no official report.
General results may be stated rs a success TO
our arms. The fighting Friday most desper
ate known in modern times. Gen. Wads-
worth was killed by a ball in the forehead
while leading his troops against one of the
enemy's strongest positions, and Gen. Webb
wounded. The condition of our army was
admirable. At latest accounts, Hancock was
pressing forward rapidly by the left for Spott-
syvania Court Hourse, and yesterday heavy
cannonading vas heard at Aequia Greek. We
lost some prisoners. One Regt. of Pennsyl
uania charged through an abbatis butwere I'M
able TO get back. Most of them were captur-
ed. We have taken a large number of iris
oners; many more than we have lost. No
artillery was used on either side the two first
days fight.
Gen. Sherman was heard from last night
and would attack to day.
Washington May 9 1880 p. m. Gen Dix de
partment Just heard from.
Gen. Butler received an official report Of
Gen Lees of Friday. Our loss in killed is
not very large. Have many wounded; he
states our forces attacked.
He grieves to announce that Gen. Long
street was badly wounded and jenkins was
killed on Thursday. He thanks the merciful
God that every advance of Grant has been re-
pulsed. The general belief is here that we
have gained a complete victory.
Latest advices from Fortress Monroe says
the report of the capture of Petersburg of the
9th is not correct.
Washington, May 9th, 1864.
Communication has been opened with Gen.
Smith, who is near Richmond, and who has
been fighting yesterday and our army is be-
lieved to be advancing successfully. Freder-
ieks5urg is occupied and the Railroad is be-
ing repaired. The Star in an extra says that
Grant has a field full of prisoners, and has ad
yanced to Spottsylvania. A verbal message
received at Head Quarters by a messenger of
the arm states that tksbattle closed Friday,
the enemy having fallen back about IL miles,
eaving their dead and wounded on the field.
At 8 O'Clock Lee was in full retreat through
Spottsylvania, and when the messenger left
Hancock entering the place in pursuit. Bat
Ter reported 10 miles from Richmond.
Generals Hunter and Pickett wounded.

The War News.

We devote q large portion of our paper to
tho fullest and latest accounts Of the terrible
battles that have just been fought near Rich
mond. Up to the time of our going to press
all the rumors indicate the success OF the Fed
eral arms in all quarters. We believe how
ever that there has beeu no decisive. victory
gained. The principal newspaper correspon-
dents give the opinion that the fighting is
still going on. No estimates of he total loss
es upon either side have yet been given, but
large numbers of prominent officers upon both
sides have been killed or wounded.
Since the above was written q telegram has
been received announcing the capture of Fit.
Darling. IF this is true Richmond must soon
fall.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Republican
Extra says there is reason to believe from dis
patches already received since our first extra
to, day, that Lee was forced to fight at Spott-
s~ylvania on Sunday, and was again repnlsed
and compelled to retreat. Another statement
is that Gen. Grant had fanked him and got
between the rebel army and Richmond.
Lees report of the battle Of Thursday last
published in the Richmond papers has been
telegraphed to this city by Gen. Butler.
Lee says that Grant attacked him which
contradicts the report received here that Lee
made the attack OH our army. Lee EMPLOYS
this language: "Thank God we have repulsed
the attack of the enemy" He states that
Longstreet is badly wounded. Lee says moth
ing in his report about the fight of Friday.

holding the line of railroad between Peters
burg and Richmond preventing Beauregard
from reinforcing Lee.
