line of the enemys works, capturing the
whole of Edward Johnson division and
part Of Early's, together with Maj. Gen.
johnson, Gen. Stuart, and from thirty to
forty cannon The'number of prisoners
is not given, but is to be counted by
thousands.
Gen. Burnside, or the extreme left,
cock. and advanced with comparatively
little opposition. His right has formed
a Junction with Gen. Hancock, and his
left is now actively engaged.
Gen. Wrights- troops attacked at us,
and are now at work.
Gen. Warren is demonstrating to hold
the enemy in front of his lines. The reb.
ell works at that point are exceedingly
strong.
A dispatch has been received from
Gen. Butler, dated, In she Field near
Chester Station, Va, May l2-3.30 P. NJ.
1t states that he is now pressing the
enemy near Fort Darling, and has before
him all the troops from North Carolina
and South Carolina that have got up.
Beauregard's courier was captured
this morning, going to Gen. Hooper, in
command of Drury Bluff He had dis
patch stating that Beauregard would
Join them as soon as the troops came up
Gen. Gilmore holds the entertainments
while Smiths demonstrates. upon Drury
and the enemy's line
Gen. Kantz with his cavalry, has been
sent to cut the Danville railroad near

GEN. WADSWORTH'S BODY
RECOVERED.
Gen. ]. E. Ii. Stuart not Killed.
Philadelphia, MAY l6.

Philadelphia, May l6.
A special dispatch to the Evening Tel
egraph from Washington SAYS surgeon
of the Slxty-sixth New York regiment
who was captured with six hundred Others
in the three days fight, and subsequently,
paroled, came into our lines Saturday with
the body OF Gen. Wadsworth, which had
been inferred, by the order of Gen. Lee in
a neat coffin.
He also saw Gen. Longstreet in his tent.
He is wounded in the collar-bone. The
wound was not mortal, but would inca
pacitate him for active duty for some
time.
Gen. j. f. B. Stuart was not down At
Richmond at the time Gen. Sheridan was
there, but was near there, and is now in
Lees army unframed.
The rebel loss is tremendous, but there
is no indication of their giving up yet
The rebel lines are well supplied by lines
of eutrenched works, and more are being
constructed.
Gen. Lee has not been wounded, as the
sargeon saw and talked with him Friday,
when he gave him permission to take the
body of Gen. WadsworIh. He is of the
opinion that the rebels would yet make a
desperate resistance.

NEW YORK. Nav /

NEW IOhh, DlAy r.
A letter from Bermuda Landing. May
10th, says The enemy did not permit as
to pass last night in peace. When dark
ness closed in, after the fearful and gallant
fighting Of the afternoon, the grey-baeks
found themselves driven across the little
stream known as Swift Creek, and our
immediate pursuit sfectually cat off by
the burning of the bridges as they re-
treated. After the enemy had. taken
position on the other side of the
Greek and were forming their lire of bet
tie, Hunts Battery, d, Fourth U. S. Ar
tillery, opened rapid fire from opposition
chosen by Gen. Smith, when full view of
rebels could be obtained. This. fire was
doubtless very destructive, and about
midnight the rebels attempted to retaliate
by capturing the guns. Silently crossing
the river in boats they cautiously climbed
the somewhat PERCEPTIONS banks~and form
ing in line about enc hundred yards in
front of the guns they suddenly dashed
forward with a terrible yell, dischmging
full volley of muskesry. Ths sleeping
artillerists were aroused by the noise and
in an instant were ready fos the assault,
being supported by heavysbody of in
antry. The assailants were repalsed
with fi1ghtful lass, being bayonetted and
pushed heller sksltez down the. steep bank
of the stream. At other points of our line
there was also heavy skirmisAing, but
morning dawned finding that nos one step
backward had been taken.

ATTACK ON THE REBEL RAM
ALBEMARLE.
Interesting Details of the Fight.

New YORK, May Is.
Interesting details Of the late attack
upon the rebel ram AlSemarle, are con-
tanned in the Herald's correspondence
from on board the Sassacus. The ram
came down the Roanoke River accom- pa
MED by two other steamers on the alter
noon of the 5th inst. The Miami and
other picket boats falling back before
them. One of the rebel steamers on see
ing the Mattapony, Sassacugs and Wyolu-
sing ranging towards the ram turned
about and skedaddled. Our three gun
boats made for the ram and her remaining
consort, the Mattapony giving her a.
full broadsde followed by the other twe.
who gave her the same dose, but no dam
age was perceptible to the ram. The con-
sort was captured by broadslde from
the Sassacuss and was anchored. The
Sassacuss was then got urlder-a Roadway
of ten to eleven knots and ran on to the.
ram, striking fairly amidships on the STAR
board, forcing her side down so that the
water flowed over her deck. She was
thus kept, the Sassacus pushing her be-
fore hes, in hopes to bring her ports under
water, or at least to keel, her full until
other vessels could attack her on the OPP
posite side. If this could have been done
she would have been captured as she
could not use her guns at all. The Sassa-
cuss kept constant fire upon her and.
put two shots into her forward port. She
finally worked clear of the Sassacus and
the first shot from her, the muzzle almost
touching our boat, entered abaft the stem,
passed through the vessel. The second
went nearly through the vessel, diagonal.
", from starboard side abreast the fore
mast. went clean through starboard boiler,
and engine room, smashing things general.
". The steam filled the ship instantly,
but the men kept to their posts like heroes.
Our guns firing continuously into her open
ports, hand grenades we're thrown into her
hatch, and our men who were stationed'to
repel boarders, poured in such murderous
| musketry fire as to drive the rebels from
their guns and compelled the ram to,close
her ports The traitors flagstaff was shot
away, and steaming slowly away, firing
as long as our guns weald bear in her,
we were carried out Of action. The ram
.hsn retreated, followed and rerse 1ated by
the other vessels WITH an incessaut fire
until night.

Particulars Of Thursdays Fight.

NEW lChh, MAY To-
The Herald's 9Th corps correspondent
says the fight continued through the af-
ternoon of the 18th and terminated before
nightfall with victory for our troops. The
fight was more terrible than in the fore
noon. We added largely to our prisoners
and punished the enemy more severely
than in any previous day. We have over
5000 prisoners while we have not lost
over half that number and only three
spiked guns. Every battery in the corps
was engaged, averaging over 500 rounds
each. Nearly all the batteries in the
other corps were also similarly used
Gen. Wright and two of his staff were
slightly wounded by shell.
The wounded in the 5th corps sums up
over 900 in to-day's fight
The 9th Mass. which left Culpepper c.
H. with 600 muskets has but 90 men left.
The I'd Vermont which had $50 mus
kets has but 100 left.

Official Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, May l5.-9 A. NJ,
To Maj. Gen. Dix:
An official dispatch from the battlefield
at Spottsylvania yesterday morning at
$50, states that during the preceding
night, Friday, movement was made by
the Fifth and Sixth corps to our left, and
an attack was to have been made at day
light, but no sound Of battle had been
heard from that quarter. This maneu, er
it is said, if successful, would place our
forces in Lees rear and compel him to
retreat toward Lynchburg. No cannon
nor any sound Of battle was heard yester-
day morning at Belle Plain or Fredericks-
burg, which affords grounds for inference
that Lee had retreated during Friday
night, and before the advance of the Fifth
and Sixth corps.
Nothing later than $50 A. M. of yes
terday has been received from the army
by this Department,
All the wounded that had reached Belle
Plain yesterday evening have arrived
here.
The surgical report from the headquar-
tiers Of the army states that the condition

No Battle Friday.--The Enemy Re-
sreated.-DaitOn, Ga. Captured.
WASHINGTON, Nav IA.

To Maj. Gen. Dix:
Dispatches from Grant dated yesterday
evening at six o'clock are received. The
advance of Hancock yesterday developed
the fact that the enemy had fallen back
four miles. There was no engagement
yesterday. We have no accounts of any
general officers being killed in the battle
ofthe preceding day. A dispatch just re-
ceived from Sherman, dated, Near Resa-
ca, 18th, says that by flank movement on
Reseca, Johnson had been forced to evac-
uate Dalton, and our forces were in his
rear and flank. No intelligence has been
received from Butler, the telegraph lines
being cut. Dispatches from Sigel report
him at Woodstock. The rumor that he
had broken the railroad between Lynch
burg and Charlottesville is not true
Grants army is well supplied.
