Peck sent a force of infantry, cavalry and artillery acroes the Nansemond river at Suffolk tomake areconnoiseance. They advanced cautiously up the old Petershurg. turnpike, and when two miles outencountered the enemy's rifle-pits, which were thoroughly manned. The New York and 13th New Hampshire regiments made a spirited and suc- cessit] charge upon the rebel works, and car- ried them after a vigorous struggle, when the enemy retreated and fell back out of range, leaving theirdead and some wounded on the field. During this time the Drawbridge Bat- tery and our army gunboat Smith Briggs, Capt. Lee, were playiug upon the enemy, doing good execution among their sharpshooters secreted in the woods. fin the afternoon our troops came upon are- 1 masked battery situated 2% miles north of Suffolk, and at 4 o’clock Davis’s Massachusetts battery and ‘the gunboat Smith Brig¢s com- menced shelling them out. After thirty mi- nutes the rebels returned the fire, which was kept up on both sides till sunset, when the enemy’s battery was silenced. Col. Ringold, of the 103d New York regiment, was shot while Jeadjng his regiment in front, and died during the night. The chaplain of the 25th New Jer- sey Regiment was wounded. br. Smith, of the 103d New York, was shot and severely wounded yesterday by an officer 1n a fit of insanity. While the skirmishing above noticed was in progres, Gen. Getty crossed the Nansemond four miles below Suffolk and encountered the enemy, and it was rumored and believed among our officers that he had succeeded in capturing a rebel battery of eight guns and a large number of prisoners. This needs confirmation. Scouts were cent out from Suffolk yesterday on the Somerton and Katon roads, but dis- covered nothing of the enemy, and after pass- ing out about six miles returned. The enemy’s riflepits on the South (Quay road and on our !ront were vacated yesterday after- noon, and the troops Jeft in great haste, taking their baggage with them, evidently having more important business else where.

CuHicaGo, May 5.—A special Cairo dispatch states that the steamer Lady Franklin bas ar- rived from Vicksburg, which she left on Thurs- day night. On that morning Gen. Sherman, with a fleet of Hanepor, accompanied by gunboats, passed up the Yazoo and made an attack on the rebel batteries. In the afternoon several more transports followed with troops, and it was reported that Gen. Sherman landed precisely in the same place he landed when he made his former attack. Caunonading and musketry could be distinctly heard at Young’s Point, on Thursday, till long after nighttall. A gentleman who lett New Carthage on last Wednesday, states that a very heavy force of Gen. Grant’s army had been landed on the Missiseippi side, eight miles above Grand Gulf, and our gunboats had been shelling the latter | piace for several days. ARMY OF THE MISSISSIPPI. Col.

Skirmishing was carried on during the pursuit, and at the final croseing of St. Francis’ river the enemy -were badly punished. Our total loss was about twenty-five. Thatofthe rebels was much larger. General McNeil’s horse was shot under him. Our troops marched 240 miles, and drove the enemy out of this department in great dis- order, and much demoralized. Riot in indiana, Cincinnati, May 4.—On Saturday a riot oc- curred at Centerville, Indiana. Two weeks be- fore a man came to the place wearing a butter- nut breastpin.

Ss A GRAPHIC ACCOUNT. > From ‘ile correspondence of thé New York Times we take the following interesting de- scription of the gréat battles of Saturday and Sunday: At 3o’clock on Saturday it became appareni that Stonewall Jacksou witha heavy force was executing & sudden moyementon our right, and it was at once resolved to checkmate him. Gen. Sickles was ordered to push on, and Gen. Williams’ division of Slocum’s culumn was or- dered to co-operate. Birney pushed ahead with great vigor, and with Randolph’s battéry soon sent to the rear as prisoners ef war the eutire remnant of the T wenty- third Georgia regiment, numbering over four hundred olficers and men. The column of the enemy which had been moving up this road was now literally cut in two, and Gen. Williams had commenced a flank movement on the enemy’s right, which prom- ised the mest auspicious results ~ JACKBON'B ATTACK ON OUR RIGHT. But at 5 ocloek a terrific crash of mnsketry on our extreme right announced that Jackson had commenced his operations. Thishad been anticipated, but it was supposed that after his column was cut the corps of General Howard, (formerly General Sigel’s), with its supports would be sufficient to resist his approach, and finding that he was himself assailed in the rear he would turn about und retreat to escape cap- ture. Rut, to the disgrace of the Eleventh c be it said, the division of General arz, which wus the first aseailed, almost instantly gave way. The enemy pressed his advantage, The brigades of Cois. Isushbeck and McLean cnly remained fighting, and main ed themselves nubly as long as possible. But they | too give way, though in gvod order, kgfore vastly superior numbers. General Hooker now sent to the aid of Gene- ral Howard the choicest division of his army, the creation of hi- own hand,tie famous second division of the Third corps, commanded by Major-General Berry. Captain Best seon moved his batteries on aridge running across | the road. and alter a shert but sanguinary con- test the further adyance of the enemy was stayed. Of course this disaster compelled the recall of Sickles and Siccum, who had been pursuing their work with remarkable vigor. General ‘Williams's division, returned only to find a por- tion of their works filled with the enemy, Sickles’s division could not communicate with the rest of the army at all byRhe way they ad- | vanced, and only at great risk by any other | route, NEW DISPORITIONS BY GEN. HOOKER. This was the positien at dark, and it did not look yery promising. But our energetic com- mander was more than equal to theemergency. New dispositions to'repair this disaster were at once resolyed upon. Communication was at once had with Generals Birney and Whipple, | nection of the hnes. Gen. Ward’s brigade of Gen. Birney’s division, made the attack at 11 at night, aided by Capt. Best’s guns, mussedon | Birney’s po- | sition was on the extreme left of this new line | of battle, but Ward’s terrific altadk was en- tirely successful, communication was restored, and in a charge made by the brigade, 2 portion | of the artillery lost by Howard was galiantly | This night attack was the most grand and terrific thing of the war. Malvern Hill wasa | skirmish compared with this, suve in the de- gree of slaughter. But it was successtul—the enemy were driven back nearly half a mile, and our ured men once more slept on their arms. That night's work wus ended. THE BATTLE OF RUNDAY. Now I come to Sunday. It was perfectly evident, from the position of affairs on Satur- day night, that there must be a change of our lines, Which would throw the enemy outof our rear and into our front again. Gen. Reynold’s First army corps arrived at United States Ford on Saturday afternoon. Lt was immediately. put into position on our Tight, which was drawn trom the plank road to the Ely’s Ford turnpike. This line was immediately formed by Generais Key- nolds and Meade, the latter's positien on the letthaying been relieved by Gen Howard’s Eleventh corps which, notwithstanding its disorganized condition, was so for reorganized during the night as to be fit for duty again this morning. They were assigned the position on the left, where it was probable there wonld be little or no fighting, and were protected by the strong works built the day before by General Meade’s corps. Our new line now assumed | the shape of a triangle, prolonged at the apex, the right of the line somewhat longer than the left. As the portien of the line on the right was new, time was necessary to fortify and in- trench it, and the work was carried on vigor- ously by thetFirst and Fifth army corps. it was very evident at daylight this morning that the day would bring forth a terrific battle. We knew that the enemy had been reinforcing his line all night, at the expenee, undoubtedly, of the strength of his force on our left. His in- tention wa@r, evidently, io fight for the posses- sion of the plank road, which it was perfectly apparent he must have, as that portion of it which we then held was subject tothe enemy's ascaults in front and on both flanks. But the possession of this road was not ob- tained by thernemy suve at our own time, at his severest cost, and after one of the most des- perate, tenacious and bloody conflicts, for its short duration, of the whole wer. At5o’clock a.m. the rebels could be plainly seen up the plank road, abouta mile and a half from the Chancellor House, which Gen. Hooker still re- tained as his headquarters, though a shell had gone through it the evening before, aud an- other had cut down a tree directly in tront of it. Our line of battle was formed with Genera Berry’s gallant division on the right, Gen. Bir- ney next en the left, Gen. Whipple and Gen. ‘Williams supporting. At 54 a.m., the ad- vance became engaged jin the ruvine, just be- yond the ridge where Capt. Best’s guns had made their terrific onslunght the night before, and where they still frowned upon the enemy and threatened his destruction. ‘The rattle of musketry soon became a long continued crash, anu in a few moments, as bat- talion after battalion became engaged, the roar surpassed all conception, and indicated that the fight would be ene of the most terrible na- , ture. Gen. Berry's @ivision, which had checked ; the enemy’s adyunce the night before, engaged. him ugain, and if it were possible for them to i turels to their name: Crxcrnwatt, May 5.—The Hon. Mr. Vallan. | add niore Jaurels to their names, then they did digham wus arrested at his residence at Dayton, | it thrice over agaim. The enemy advanced his infantry in overwhelming numbers, andseemed. determined to crush our forces. But the brave men of Sickles and Slocum, who fought their columns with desperate gallantry, held the rebels in check, and inflicted dreadful slaughter among them. Gen. French’s diy‘.‘on was sent in on the right flunk of our line a: about 7a.m., and in a short time a horde of r:. .ed, stream- ing rebels running down the rord indicated that that portion ot the enemy’s line had been crushed, At $ o'clock a. m., Geu, French sent his compliments to Gen. Hooi r, with the in- formation that he had charged the eneimy and | was driving him before him. j Sickles maintained the attack upon his line with great endurance, The enemy seemed de- termined to crnsh him with the immensity of biz forces, and, as subsequently shewn from the statement of prisoners, five whole divisions of the rebel army were precipitated upon this portion of the line, for from these five divisions we took during the day an aggregate of over two thousand prisoners. THE EXPLOITS OF OUR TROOPS, The exploits of our gallant troops in those dark, tangled, gloomy weods may never be brought to light; but they would fill a hundred - velomes. It was a deliberate, desperate, 5 to hand conflict, and the carnage was perfect- ly frightful. Cool officers say that the dead and wounded of the enemy covered the in heaps, and that the rebels seemed ~tterly re- epedions: of their lives, and threw ble Hancock who gallantly went to the relie? of the hard-pre Bickles.. i THE DESTRUCTION OF CHANCRLLORAVILLE. The engagement lasted without the slightest intermission from 5% a.m. to 8.45 8. m., when there Was @ tem: cessation on our part, occasioned by getting out of ammunition. We held our position for nearly an hour with the bayonet, @nd then, being resupplied, an order ‘Was given to fall back to the vicinity of the Chance} lor House, which we did im good order. Here the contest was maintained for an hour or more, NOt So severely as before, but with erent hayock to the enemy, and considerable loss to ourselves. The vicinity.of the Chancellor House was now the theater of the fight, and my yisits to that spot became less frequent. Gen. Hooker Maintained his headquarters there until 10a. m., when it was set on fire by theenemy’s shells, and is-‘now im ruins. Chanceilorsvilie is no longer in existence, having pertshed with the fame, but Chancellorsville is in his- tory, never to he effaced. Our new line was now £0 far established as to render it safe to withdraw all our forces on that front, which was accordingly done, and at 11.30 a. m. the musketry firing ceased. The engagement had lasted six hours, but had been the most terrific of the war. Our ar- tillery had literally slaughtered the enemy, and many of the companies had lost hea yily in men themeelyes, but the guns were all saved. The enemy was now no longer in our rear, but had been shoved down direetly in our front, and is now directly between us and our forces in Fredericksburg, and we were again in an eptrenched and tormidably fortified position. The enemy has gained some ground, it is tru-, brtat the sacrifice of the Sower of his force, five of his seven divisions haying been cut to pieces in the effort, and over 4,000 of them hay- ing fallen inte our hands. Our right wing, under Gens. Reynolds Meade, was not engaged, save the divisi Gen. Humphreys, which went into ¢ and * on the enetmy’s lett Hank and tought yi under th iNiant leader, until the: nition wa: austed.

Nothing can live within their range. OUR POSITION AFTER THE PIGiIT. Our-present position is impregnable if our troops continue to fight as they haye to-day Gen. Lee, the prisoners say. has issued aa or- der that our lines must be broken at all haz- ards. Let them try it again with what they haye left. They can, and perhaps will de- stroy themeelves by attacks upon this position. Our troeps are perfectly cool and confident. They have 1ought with great spirit and enthu- sinem, und will continue to do so. The rebel prisoners report that Ger Jill was Killed this torencon, durin, e san- guinary conflict his division had with Gen. Herry’s division.
