WAsHINsroN, May 7.-The Republican
has the following: The govsrnment bas In
formation this morning, whether from Of
icial sources or other, Wo aro unable TO
press, that on Wednesday 1t daylight Gen.
Grants whole army was entirely across
the Rapidsu, and marched 70 plain lit
tie beyond and near the old Chancellors.
Vile battle ground, when Lee was forced
out Of his works and offered battle. which
was at once accepted. The fight became
fierce and lasted until dark. the enemy be-
ing forced some distance with great loss.
leaving most OF his killed and wounded in
our hands. The two armies lay on their
arms all night Wednesday, and at daylight
on Thursday the battle opened again md
ragged with tho greatest fury On both sides.
until dark. when it was found that the enc
my had been forced back In the two days
6ght about two miles and . half, leaving
heaps Of dying killed and wounded ON the
field, to be buried and taken care Of BY our
trO0ps We have heard various estimates
made Of the number slaughtered, but at
this moment It IL useless t0speculate on the
subject, every one knows that It must have
been terrible. On Friday morning at five
O'Clock the forces wore marshalling for an
other conflict. Gen. Grant ID moving on
Lees works.
Up to this time Gen, Buraside's corps
numbering 5000 men, had taken no part
in the battle, but at $50 O'Clock was march
ing into position, to engage In the bloody
contest OF the third days battle. OF the re-
sui OF TINS days battle, we have no report,
up 10 the moment Of going to press. The
oattle commenced at O'Clock in the morn
ing. Unless Lee received reinforcements
equal to Bnrnsides corps, the battle Of FRI
day must have proved terribly disastrous
10 him. The fact that we have received no
news OF Yesterdays fighting. leads to the
