The Great Struggle.

The following paragraphs constitute
synopsis of the daily telegraphic re-
ports from the seat of war:
WAsHIN GToN. May 10.-A messen.
ger just arrived from Spottsylvania,
reports that at noon yesterday fight
was going on at Spottsylvania c. Ii.
We held the place. Lee evinced
weakness. Our wounded reported
$4,000, mostly at Fredericksburg, ly-
ing so thickly in the public streets
that cavalry could not patrol without
trampling. Between 1000 and 5000
rebel wounded also in Fredericksburg.
Sec. Stanton announced that Gen.
Butler had established himself upon
Sacred Soil south of Richmond, divi-
ded Bcauregard's army, whipped the
part commanded by a. p. Hill, tore
up the Petersburg Railroad track,and
cleared the Rebels out of the Chick
ahominy country. Ger Butler thinks
Beauregard will not trouble Grant
by reinforcing Lee.
Information was received here this
afternoon of the death of Maj. Gen.
Scdgwicll, who was shot near Spott-
sylvania, by a rebel sharpshooter.
The ball entered near the left eye.
There is great scarcity of food in
Richmond, it having advanced 10 star
vation prices. Citizens have resort
ed to cellars as the Vicksbargers did.
The rebels admit heavy losses. They
were driven from Spottsylvania CHI.
towards Cane river.
The distractions in James river
have been removed. Fort Darling is
now in Gen. Buffers possession.
Government received dispatches
this morning that there is desperate
fighting before Dalton, Ga, between
Sherman and the rebel Joe Johnston.
They are fighting for the possession
of a ridge, which is the key to Dai-
ton. Everything was geing well.
1t is believed that Lee hesitates to
plant himself within the Richmond
fortifications, fearing that Grant may
fasten his Vicksburg gripe upon him,
he (Lee) believing that were he once
cooped up in Richmond, a half a mil
lion of men could be raised in a week
in the North to besiege that place. !
A general advance of our army
was made at 5 p. NJ. yesterday. We
have captured a large amount of
stores. The rebels are removing our
Libby prisoners to Danville.
BALTIMORE, May 1O.-Advices state

Prisoners In RiChmond.

We have long suspected, that the accounts,
narrating the starvation and other cruelties,
inflicted on the Federal prisoners in Rich
mond were fabulous. True, The stories we're
eagerly gobbed up by the abolition press and
disseminated ove- the country with fanatcal
zenl. Democratic journals were more chary
in giving their credence TO these rumors,
knowing the Southern people to Do Americans
and Christians.
The attempt OF the abolitioniats to exasper-
ate sectional anlmOslty into irrecOneilable ha-
tre1 is deprived OF its venom by recent state
ments of unquestionable authority Mr. Hart,
the correspondent Of the New York Hera Il.
in a simple narrative of the actual treatment
he received, gives the lie direct to the iuven-
tlons by which the radical press has endeavor-
ed to halluclnute its readers into frenzy of
passion against their Southern brethren We

People do not all know the extent to
which they are taxed by the depreciation
of greenbacks When gold is 1859, every

There is a misapprehension in some
minds as to what the Supreme Court de
cided, in Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM's case. 1t
did affirm, as Black Republicans would
have the people believe, the validity of
BURNslDE's infamous tribunal, but simply
that it could hear no appeal and take no
recognition from a court OF the sort just
as it woUld reject an application from HEE-
NAN to review the brutal award of a prize
