Correspondence OF the New York Herald
NEW ORLEANS, March 90 learn from
reliable gentleman, who has just returned
facts:
The steamship Clinton carried out to Brazos
Santiago Major General Lew. Wallace, who
was sent to the Rio GraIde on a special mis-
sion, supposed to concern the expulsion of our
consul at Matamoras by Maximilian, and the
return of rebel deserters by General Mejia
The result OF the consul affair is not known
1t is not even known that any explanation
whatever was demanded but the conference
with MeJla was entirely satisfactory. That
OIL Ger had simply entered into an arrangement
with the rebel General Slaughter for the de-
livery Of murderers and thieves escaping from
their respective States.
General Slaughter sent a note to General
Wallace requesting an interview which was
granted, and the meeting took place at Point
Isabel, Texas. The best feeling existed be-
tween the Union and rebel parties, and good
social time was joyed
The result was that the Clinton, bearing a
colonel of Wallace's staff. with dispatches for
General Canby, was sent back to New Oaleans

THE BATTLE ON FRIDAY.

Further Details of the Fight-Losses IN
the Fifth Corps-The X ebels Driven from
the Field with Heavy Loss.
A letter from headquarters Army OF the
Potomac, dated Friday evening, says
To-day there has been severe fighting on
some part OF the line, from morning till night,
the result of which has been the extension of
our line still further westward, although at
considerable loss in killed and wounded
The ID division OF the 5th corps, supported
by the Sd, was thrown out by the White Oak
road, west OF the Boydton plank road, and or
deret to reach and take position there After
crossing small branch of Gravelly Run, and
while about forming in line, our troops were
nrea upon Dy aeavy ne w force OF the enemy whS
rebel artillery posted in favorable positions.
Our men stood their ground for while, but
the e enemy appearing pear to be moving to the left,
back to their first position, where they were
rallied and soon checked the enemy's advance.
About the same time another attack was
made on the right flank OF the 5th CORDS, but
General Miles's division of the I'd, being
posted here, made brilliant charge and dou.
bled up the enemy, driving them a long dis
wounded on the field.
This was very handsome affair, and the
division receives the highest praise for the
manner in which it was done.
The loss on our side was about four hur-
dred, as nearly as can be ascertained, nearly
all in the first division.
The 5th corps, about noon, again took MP the
advance and drove the enemy back about q
mile and half, and long before dark had
reached the White Oak road, which they had
started for in the morning, and established
their line across the same, driving the rebels
into their strong works at Hatcher's Run
Their loss in the days work will not be far
from twelve hundred.
Among the casualties reported are Major
Mills, A. A. g., on Gen. Humphreys staff,
killed by shell; Col. Sergeant, 1l0th Penn
sylvania, severely wounded; Gen. Dennison,
commanding brigade in I'd division, 5th CORPS,
slightly wounded.
An attack was also made in front of the 9th
corps, but it was not successful.
After the rebels were driven back in front OF
the 5th crops an attack was made, with both
infantry and cavalry, on Sheridan's force,
about three miles from the Southside road,
near Sutherland station, driving them back
toward Dinwiddie, but he subsequently gained
m uch more than he had lost.
The roads are in terrible condition, it being
almost impossible TO move trains over them
The heavy rains have swollen the streams,
and the engineers are busy day and night lay
ing bridges and corduroys. -
The loss of the enemy is not known, but,
judging from the number OF dead lying in the
woods and rayfnes where the fighting oc-
CURED, it must be at least as heavy as our
own. We took about one hundred and fifty
prisoners during the day. . 3

.No opposition worthy OF name was made to
