Hancock Attacked near Chancellorsville by Longstreet with his whole foree and part of Ewell’s. —_—_ + Our Troops Admirably Handled. sli General Burnside Joins Grant. Bates The Great Battle doubtless Fought yesterday ————— In our first edition we gave from tke bulletin of the Independent Line a dispatch from New York, giving the purport of a special dispatch to the New York Tribune, concerning the fight- ing near Chancellorsville. The Associated Press dispatch below gives additional particu- lars embraced in the same dispatch: Nzw Yor«, May 7.—The Tribune has the fol- lowing special dispatch : On Wednesday night Gen. Warren’s headquarters were at the Wil- derness; Gen. Sedgwick on his right, and head- quarters at Germania Ford. On Thursday morning the Rebels pressed our picket, and appeared in strong force on our right. The 5th New York cayalry skirmishing on the Orange Court House road were driven’ in with a severe loss, leaying many wounded on the field. Gen. Griffith’s division marched forward on our right, about 11 o’clock, to feel the enemy’s position, and were met by the Rebel Gen. A. P. Hill, supported by Gen. Ewell. A severe action took place, in which we cap- tured about 300 prisoners, though it is reported that we lost two guns. In the meantime Gen. Hancock marched his corps to the right to eonnect with Warren, and had hardly got into position, his left resting on or near Chancel- lorsville, when he was attacked by Longstreet with his full corps and part of Ewell’s, Gen. Hancock, with the assistance of Getty’s division of the 6th corps, held his position under a musketry fire of two and a half hours’ duration, in which his command suffered se- verely, and inflicting much injury upon the rebels. Other developments showed Lee to have his whole force on our front. This knowledge of their position was of course highly important, and was thus ob- tained only by the greatest skill in the handling of our troops. It not being the purpose of General Meade to advance upon the enemy, he ordered the line of battle to be held till morn- ing. The position of the troops on Thursday night was parallel with and a little in advance of the road from Germania. Ford to Chancel- lorsville, the two flanks resting on those points, and general headqnarters being at the Wilder- ness. Meanwhile, in the afternoon, the advance of the 9th corps crossed Germania Ford, taking positicn on our right flank. Gen. Burnside’s rear arrived this forenoon. It was understood that a general attack was to be made this morning, and heavy firing had commenced on cur right when I left, At5o’clock, heavy cannonading was heard, and when I passed at Kelly’s Ford about 9 o'clock this forenoon, This Jepds me to be- lieve that we had driven to their defenses, as no heavy guns could be brought into action on the former position. Thare onght to be no doubt that there has been a great victory. Gen. Meade showed his strength yesterday by stubborn and gallant defence, without, using half his command. He has undoubtedly brought into action his force to-day. The troops are in & high state of enthusiasm. From the West. pei eA, FIGHT WITH FORREST AT BOLIVER, TENN, - —>—_ THE ENEMY WHIPPED, — FORREST RETREATS TO MISSISSIPPI, * GEN, STURGIS IN PURSUIT, GEN, STEELE’3 MOVEMENTS IN ARKANSAS, Catko, May 6.—The steamer Killman has ar- rived with one day’s later intelligence. Advices from Memphis state that the ad- vance of Gen. Sturgis’ cavalry, under Colonel Karge, 2d New Jersey cavalry, 70U0strong, with two pieces of artillery, encountered a brigade of Forrest’s men, 1,000 strong, near Bolivar, on the south side of the Hatchie, on Monday last. A severe fight took place, lasting two hours, and resulting in the enemy’s being driven from the intrenchments and retreating across the river through Bolivar, destroying the bridge behind him. It is reported that Forrest was present in the fight, and itis believed that he is beating a rapid retreat in Mississippi. Gen. Sturgis is in hot pursuit. Our loss is two killed and ten wounded. On the 25th, the train returning to Pine Bluff was captured by the enemy. It consist- ed of two hundred and forty wagons, together with an escort, under the command of Uol. Drake, comprising the 26th Iowa, 77th Ohio, and the 43d Indiana, with four pieces of artil- lery. Gen. Steele lett Oamden for Little Rock on the 26th, being ont of supplies. On the 30th he crossed Sabine river, Before crossing he was attacked by the rebels, under Fagan. During the evening a portion of the rebel cavalry crossed the river above there, and proceeded within eight miles of Little Rock. Officers recently from Little Rock report that place and Pine Bluff safe, the latter being strengthened by 300 men, under General An- drews In the attack while crossing the Saline river, Major Atkinson and Lieut. Henry, of the Sth Indiana, were killed. The loss was heavy. 1 From the Peninsula. pate roeesra RECONNOIS8AN CE TOWARDS RIOHMOND FROM WILLIAMSBERG, —_—— New York, May 7.—The Herald bas a Yorn. | town letter of the 4th, stating that Uol.

On the return, when six miles east of Brahamerille, after dark, several torpedoes exploded in a dense wood, and sever- al men and horses were hit but nobody killed. ‘The rebel authorities are removing the ma- chinery of the Tredegar iron works from Rioh- mond to some point further Soath.

A Nashville letter to the Herald says that Sherman’s army would move on the Istof May, and that a battle would take place in the vicin- ity of Romie within a fortnight. The Herald report says that a heavy column of troops, under Gen. Sigel, moved up the Shenandoah Valley from Martinsburg some dayeago. Gen. Averill is co-operating from another direction with his cavalry command.

A cotemporary publishes this afternoon as information received by Government, state- ments that & great victory was achieved by General Grant on Wednesday and Thursday, driving the enemy two and a half miles, with immense loss to the enemy, and that Gen. G. was following up that victory on Friday morning by an assault on the enemy’s works. ‘We should be very glad to be able to confirm this news, but have to say that after diligent inquiry we are satisfied that Government has received no such information, or any intormation of more decisive results than that furnished py the Tribune dispatch elsewhere. The fact that Meade was able to stand the brunt of the Confederate onset with a portion of his command is considered a hopeful indi- cation, and we hope soon to be able to announce a decisive victory; but we shall not trifle with our readers by manufacturing bogus victories for an hour's sensation. The moment any reliable information is re- ceived we shall issue it in a supplementary edition.
