PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-The Inquirer
publishes dispatch, dated south side North
Anna, near Jericho Bridge, $50 P. NJ, which
says that the rebels are in our front. Pris-
oners have been taken during the last twenty
four hours from all three Of the rebel corps
EwelPs, Hills and Longstreet's. Over four
hundred prisoners were taken from the brig
ade Of South Carolina Reserves, under Craw-
ford, who led the charge on our extreme right.
the road leading to Beaver Dam, our troops
there successfully completed the destruction
of nearly six miles of the track Of the Viz
ginia Central Railroad, west Of Sections
Junction. We are but one days forced
march from Richmond, in a fine open coun-
try. There is plenty of good pasture for
horses, but nothing for men except that
which is brought along. The enthusiasm OF
our army knows no bounds, while the morals
of the rebels, judging from wounded pris-
oners falling into our hands, is very bad. The
weather is intensely hot.

upon Rebel Defenses.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Moseby's guer-
rillas have been devoting the last ten days to
the entire and complete destruction Of all
blocks Of houses and bridges from Union
Mills down to the Rapidan. The withdrawal
of our outposts and troops for more import
ant duty, affords clear coast for their opera
tons, in which they were aided by farmers
along the road, and whom we protected and
supported all winter
The steamer Jefferson arrived last night,
bringing number of soldiers and some guer-
rillas. The former were captured near Har-
rison's Junction. Among them is Col. Man
ming Of the Third Arkansas, and several Off
GERS of lower grades. Among the prisoners
are rebel citizens of Fredericksburg arrested
for poisoning bread and giving it to our
wounded.
New YORK, May 27.-The Philadelphia
Enquirer, giving accounts of the attack on
the rebel works and defenses Of Taylor's brig
ade, over the North Anna, says that no troops
could live under the fire from the rebel guns.
Direct assault from the front was therefore
out of the question. Our troops were marched
up in two columns, with brigade on each
side of wide interval, through which rebel
shot and shells plunged, tearing up the earth
fearfully. When our troops got within close
distance, like tigers they leaped upon their
prey, and with guns unloaded brought the
bayonet to bear upon the entrenched enemy,
killing and capturing all who did not escape.
The movement was watched by Hancock,
who expressed his admiration in the most
enthusiastic terms.
Terrible State OF Affairs in Texas

Rary-Lee again in the Order of Bat
tle-His Line Is Formed, and
Grent Battle is Probably Taking
Place.
A New Orleans correspondent says that
Gen. ]. A. Hamilton had arrived there, and
that he gives lamentable account of the
state of affairs in Texas, and that the with
drawal of large force Of oul troops will place
the Unionists in painful position. They
are already in a frightful condition. Whole
families who, year or two since, were en-
Toying all the comforts of life, are now re-
duced to beggary. Able-bodied men have
been run off BY rebel CONSUMPTION, and their
families are left helpless and without pro-
lection.
PHILADELPHIA, May IA special dis
patch from Washington says that Lee was in
line Of battle this morning on the south bank
of the South Anna, and that battle will
probably take place to-day.
