To-day Gen. Burnside began an at
tack on the left with great fury, with
an encouraging degree of success. He
hal fight the day before in which, To-
use his own words, he whipped old
Lon:street.'
"a courier came in from Gen. Butler
yesterday. The cavalry under Sheridan
started soon after. They will engage
the rebel cavalry, circumnavigate Lees
army, and join Butler.
'Our movements since we crossed
the Rapidan may have seemed e:ratic to
soldiers who have counted the miles
marched over by hundreds The battles
thus far have been series of attacks
and repulscs. Muskets were almost en-
tirely used. The ground being swampy,
artillery was not used.
Lee very absurdly claims victory,
when he withdrew from our front and
marched towards Richmond. Our army
moved with them along parallel roads,
coming in deadly contact with them at
rodds Tavern, near Spottsylvania; but
reinforced by infantry they drove our
cavalry back short distance The Ma
ryland brigade, 4,h Division. 9th corps,
coming to their support, the fighting
was exceedingly fierce. Gems. Corbctt
and Robinson were both badly wounded
and are now on their way to Washington.
'.The carnage in the rebel army has
been horrible, while in our own It has
been of no mean magnitude. All through
the wilderness rebels sre strewn, and fires
kindled by the bursting Of shells. con-
su ID ed the mangled bodies of our enemies.
I'm the several encounters with the reb-
els We have lost the present use of over

I, Gen. Dix:
A dispatch received from Il e Army OF
the Potomac, D o'clock Yesterday after
noon, states that both armies held their
positions at Spots-ylvania, without materi-
al change. The enemy have been dive n
to their breastworks. Tne 9th corps un
der Gen. Wright, had carried the first
line Of the e.eny's rifle pits. There was
heavy skirmishing during the day.
Nothing has been heard from Sherman
or Butler since noon of yesterday.
WASHINGTON May Ill 2. VI.
Nothing has been received here of any
reverse to Grants army. The impression
prevailed in the army yesterday, that Lee
was about crossing the North Anna River.
PnILADElPHiA, May IL.
A special displtc to the Bulletin from
Washington, says, Heavy firing was
heard yesterday from Gen. Buffers head
quarters. The iron cIads were engaged.
Washington telegraph., 1864-05-25

LATEST RUNos.-A private letter from
Camden informs us that letter had
been received from an officer of Gen.
Marmaduke's staff, who had seen it sta
ted in Memphis papers of the 18th and
ST. Louis papers of the 18th, that Grant
had fallen back about 20 miles, and was
calling loudly for the 100 days men.
STILL LATER.-Another letter from an off,
Ger in Camden to Gen. Ashley at this place ds-
ted 23d May, says: 81 have just come from
Gen. Prices, whilst there a courier arrived
with Federal newspapers. Dispatch from A.
Q. NJ. of Marmadukes command to Major. Erin.
ker says: ''You can rest assured Lee has given
Grant terrible logging no time to give par
ticulars."
The Chicago Times OF the 18th Cor 18th
says Grant has fallen back to rest, and recupe-
rate his army, though promising to take them
to Richmond certainly by the 1st June. This
paper speaks of t,co ,useks of terrible fighting,
in which they acknowledge a loss of $4,000
graduating themselves highly from the fact of
Lee having been compelled to fall back four
miles, and that they captured fron 1000 to
1000 prisoners. 1t acknowledges the position
to which Lee had fallen back, to be infinitely
stronger than the one from which they claim
to have driven him.
There is some attempt to hide the fact, that
Grant had fallen back, but that is the only con
clusion we can draw.
Sherman has driven Gen. Johnston out of
Dalton. but that is matter of minor import
snce just now.

FROM LOUISIANA On the 18th Gen.
Taylor was twelve miles west of Marks
vile, between Banks and the Mississippi
river. On the l1th at o'clock, P 3D.,
the Federals commenced moving from
Alexandria Oh the river road. Battle
probably came off on the 14th. Five
gunboats had got over the Falls by
building dams. Two gunboats and
three transports were stopped going up
by our sharp-shooters at Ft. DeRussey
Col. Jack Scott captured one regiment
on the Amite river, and took Baton
Rouge.
By private letter dated Natchitochss,
we learn that the enemy evacuated
Alexandria on the 14th. Before leaving
they burnt the greater part of the town.
The river commenced rising about the
18th, and has been rising steadily since.
This is due in a great measure to the
Mississippi, which is said to be very
high.
The dam that the Yanks built at "the
Falls" worked well, as all the gunboats
got over. They destroyed many Of their
heavy guns. The head of tho Federal
army on their retreat reached Mensura
at S A. NJ. on the 10th, where they
stumbled on our whole force. A battle
ensued, in which the enemy suffered
very heavily. We have no particulars.
Shreveport, May l9.-Gen. Taylor
had heavy skirmish with the enemy
near Mensura, in the parish of Avoyelles,
on the 18th, and the morning of the 10Th
inst, damaging him severely. Our loss
was small. Enemy retreating in the
direction of Simsport, Gen. Taylor in
his rear. Nothing. from the boats.
Thus it seems, that with the best luck
on his part, Gen. Banks will only sue
ceed in getting handsomely kicked out
Of the department with the frazzled euds
Of an army, if he escapes at all. That
will do fer us.
