Enemy falling back te Hanover Junction— Burnside Attacks and Drives Them— Major Gen’! Sedgwick Killed—€ nication With Rich id Severed. [Dispatch to the Daily Chronicle.} HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THR PoTOMAQ, Tuesday, May 10—The Army of the Potomac has bad a portion of aggay to recuperate, In- dications are that the rebels will fall back to their formidable fortifications near Hanover Junction. To-day Gen’! Burnside began the attack on the left with great fury, acd an en- couraging degree of success. He had a fight the day before, in which, to use hisown words, he “whipped old Longetreet.” A courier came in trom Gen’! Butler yester- dsy. Abont 15,000 cavalry, under Gen’I Sheri- dan, Started coon after. ‘hey will engage the rebel cavalry, circumnavigate Lee’sarmy, and join Butler.- Our army could not be in a more cheerful condition. Every man is sanguine of success, And they count the days when they shall in triumph enter the rebel metropolis. The rebels, on the contrary, have lost all their old buoyancy, and seldom indulge in their pe- culiar shrill and demoniacal yells. They fight with sullen brows, like men who find even hope forsaking them, eneral Lee lately issued an order in relation to snp es in which he said communication with Richmon. was cut off, and it was im- possible to furnish the men with stores. Hill's corps had no rations issued for three days. General Lee enjoined upon his men the neces- sity of capturing supplies from the Yankees, Up to this moment they have failed to capture a single wagon. The roads are in excellent traveling order, but very dusty. I have failed to see a single wagon abandoned. Our movements since crossing the Rapidan may have seemed erratic to the soldiers, who counted the miles marched over by hundreds. All the battles thus far have been a series of attacks and repulses. Musketry was almost eutirely used. The ground beang swampy, ar- tillery was impracticable. Lee very absurdly claims a victory, when he withdrew trom our front and marched towards Richmond. Our army moved with them along parallel roads, coming in deadly contact with them at Todd's Tavern, near Sprttsylvania Coart Heuse. Gen. Torbett’s division of cavalry whipped the rebel cavalry near this place, and drove them from Spottsylvania Court House. Bat, reinforced with infantry, they drove our cavalry a short distance—the Maryland bri- gade, ith division, 6th corps, coming to their support. The fighting was exceedingly flerce. Gen. Torbett and Gen. Robinson were both ‘wounded, and are now on their way to Wash- ington. I regret to announce the death of so valuable and efficient an officer as General Sedgwick. He was shot through the head this morning, while superintending the mounting of some heavy guns in an angle the men had just pre- pared. There was no skirmishing at the time, but an Occasional sharpshooter sent a bullet in that d.rection, which caused the cannonier to wince and dodge. General Sedgwick was near by, with some of his staff, and twitted the man abont his nervousness. ‘Pooh! man,” he said, “they can’t hit an elephant that distance.” Immediately after the ball strack him, and the bicod began to ooze from hisnostrils. Hesmiled serenely, and fell dead in the arms of his assistant adjutant general. His body, and General Hays’s, have been forwarded to Washington, The hemorrhage in the rebel army has been borrible, while our own is ot no mean magni- tude. All through the Wilderness they are strewn, and the fires kindled by the bursting of shells consumed the mangled bodies of the antagonists. In these several encounters with the rebels we have lost the present use of over 35,000 men. In Fredericksburg, at this writing, there are over 12,0000f ourwounded. Sunday morning they began crowding into the town. Mr. Slaughter, Mayor of the city, and Mr. Mayer, of the celebrated heights near Freder- ickeburg, in the full zeal of their patriotic hearts, rallied a few guerillas and marched 300 of our wounded into the rebel lines. Poor fellows! theirs is asad fate. Hungry, thirsty, and weary they were when captured. How much worse are they now! Mayor Slaughter and several other promi- nent citizens are now in the guardhouse at Fredericksburg. Pontoons float on the Rap- pahannock, below Fredericksburg. To Aquia Creek, where the transports lie, is eight miles. Guerrillas abound throughont the country. A report gained credence here this (Tues- day) morning, that our cavalry had captured a train of cars near Guiney’s Station, sent from Richmond tor the rebel wounded. The track ‘was torn up. This movement across the Rapidan is the most brilliant and daring in the annals of the war. Nothing could be more dangerous than a flank movement by our army while Lee was in front with his long heavy lines. It was daring and successful. Every officer and sol- dier is sanguine The utmost confidenceis re- posed in Grant and Meade. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. ——.—___ FRIDAY’S BATTLE, Fourteen Hours of Fighting — Desperate Attempt by Lee to Break up Sedgwick's Division—Varying Successes but Final Repulse of the Rebels. {Special Dispatch to New York Tribune.] FIELD OF THE BATTLE OF THE WILDERNESS, Friday, May 6—11 p. m.—Fonrteen hours of severe fighting to-day, and still nothing de- cisive. The position this morning was that of last night, substantially. General Sedgwick, with two of his divisions, Rickett’s and Wright's, has tought upon the right; General Hancock, with the four divisions of his cerps, viz: Birney’s, Carr’s, Barlow’s and Gibbon’s, with Getty's division of the 6th corps, has fought upon the left; and General Warren, with his fall corps and Stevenson’s division of the 9th corps (Burnside’s) has fought in the center, Burnside’s corps#thas constituted the reserve, and has marched and counter-marched incessantly, and gone im by brigades at the center and on the left, Sedgwick was to advance at 5 8. m., but Ewell,who commands site tohim, attacked at4.45, Sedgwick says Ewell’s watch must be 15 minutes ahead of his. This action on our right was spirited and well fonght At the expiration of an hour the rebels were hand- somely borne back, the firing ceased, and each side held the ground they had bivyouacked upon. Our loss was severe, and the enemy’s could not have been less. Gen. Sedgwick’s Staff were brilliant and ubiquitous shout, while the old General was the men of Antietam and Fredericksburg repeating. himself, This action barely over, and suddenly we heard from the extreme left that peculiar monotonous swell and volume of sound which tells of large numbers enzaged —s0 many thatsingle shots and even volleys of long lines are not, distinct, but are merged in the mighty noise of @ great battle. Hancock ‘was engaged. The dejails of his two hours’ steady struggle 1 do not know, but know that he did his work Freeper hy nd completely. Longstreet had joined the Rebel right, and this was a second deter. mined. eer to turn our left, and a second utter di ture. Only 10 o'clock and Lee had tried each wing and had met in each case more than he cou! overcome, and we asked ourselves what next, All his movements were silent and invisible, and unknown until he developed in the event, Wecan deliver blows over in the di- rection whence blows are dealt as—not against one who has mysterfously gashered and olsed one who has my: and poised bimgelf for a deadly spring, But the suspensé is not long.

He moants a second and epurs to the front, hat in hand, and we should have won then, but his men saw him fall. He was shot through the head, jed. instantly, and his body fell into the hands of the enemy. His command fell back to their original po- sition with comparative order. From noon until 5 o’clock a number of sharp aesaults at various points were made and in- variably repulsed, whether made by us or by the enemy. Each one of these affairs were material for a long letter, but I find it simply impoesible at this time to ascertain and write out correctly the facts in detail. Prisoners came in at the rate of one hundred an hour. The day was excessively hot, and the men were muchexhausted. We had neither gained nor lost groand, but continued this thing long enough, and we hoped to finally wear them out At 5% o’clock Hancock was pre- poe for & grand movement of our entire leit. je did not make it, for the enemy anticipated him, and he had to repel pertiaps the most wicked aseault thus far encountered—brief in duration, but terrific in power and superhuman momentum. The first few minutes we were staggered. Stragglers for the first time in all this fighting streamed to therear in large numbers, choking the roads and cauring a panic by their stam- pear and incoherent tales of frightful disaster. t was even reported at general headqaarters that the enemy had burstentirely through, and supports were hurried up. Grant and Meade, seated, their backs against the same tree, quiet- ly listened to the officer who brought the re- ort, and consulted a moment in low tones. he orders for sending reinforcements were given, and for a little time not a word was spoken in the group of more than twenty offi- cers. They but looked into each other’s faces, At length, Grant says, with laconic empha- sie, «I don’t believe it.” He wasright. Long before that Hancock had recovered from the first shock, beld hisown awhbile,and now was eaining ground. In forty minutes from this attack the enemy was completely beaten back with tremendous slaughter, and the loss of some hundredg of prisoners. it was now nearly cunset. From one end of the line to the other not a shot could be heard. The day’s work seemed over. Our line of tos night would be that of lastnight. The augnu- ries were good. In two day’s fighting we had lost heavily, but no more than the enemy. Our assaults had been futile, but the enemy’s had been equally so; and it is by these massed assaults that he has ever achieved his victo- ries. The inference was clear that we had over- matched him fighting at his best and strongest. Men separated in the heat of the day, now chancing to meet, congratulated each other. The Rebels can’t endure another such day, and we can, was the expressed conviction on all oands, and this statement epitomizes the situation at sunset. The sun went down red. The smoke of the battle of more than two hundred thousand men destroying each other with villainous salt petre through all the long hunrs of along day, filled the valleys, and rested u}on the hills of sll this wilderness, hung in turia haze all around the horizcn, and built of dense canopy overhead, beneath which this grand Army ot Freedom was preparing to rest against the morrow. Generals Grant and Meide had re- tired to their tents. Quiet reigned, but during the reign of quiet the enemy was forging a thunderbolt. Darkness and smoke were mingling in grim twilight, and fast deepening into thick gloom, when we were startled out of repose back into flerceexcitement. The forged thunderbolt was sped, and by amaster. A wildrebelyellaway to the right. Weknew they had massed and were charging. We waited for the volley with which we knew Sedgwick would meet the onset. - We thought it but a night attack to ascertain if we bad changed our position. We were mistaken—it was more. hey meant to break through, and they did. On Sedgwick’s ex- treme right Jay the 2d Brigade, 3d Division of bis corps, under Gen. Seymour, whe had been ascigned to it but two days before. The brigade is new to the Sixth Corps, and is known as the Milroy brigade; connecting on the left of Seymour by Shaler’s and then Neil's brigades, the latter being a brigade ot Geity’s division that had not beensentto Han- cock. These troops were at work entrenching when fallen upon. The enemy came down like a torrent, rolling and dashing in firing ‘waves, and flocding up againstthe whole Sixth Corps. The main line stood like a rock, bat not so the extreme right. That flank was in- stantly and atterly turned. The Rebel line the longer, and surged around Seymour’s bri- gade, tided over it and through it, beat against Shaler, and bore away his right regiments. All this done in less than ten minutes, per- heps not five, Seymour’s men, seeing their pickets running back, and hearing the shouts of the Rebels, who charged with all their chiv- alry, were smitten with panic, and, standing on no order of going, went at once, and an in- credibly short space of time made their way through a miie and ahalf of woods to the plan road in therear. They reported, in the frantic manner usual with stampeded men, the entire corps broken. Grant, as in Hancock's case, did not believe it. But when three of Sedg- wick’s Staff rode into army headquarters sepa- rately, and stated how they had ridden from Sedgwick's to keep Seymour's men to their work, had been borne back by the panic, and had seen Sedgwick and Wright hard to the front working like Trojans to hold the waver- ing line, the situation Sphpared more critical No word came in from Sedgwick. It began to be feared that he and Wright, disdaining to fly, were prisoners. Artillery moved quietly to commanding po- sitions, to be prepared for the worst, and cool heads felt that were the whole 6th corps broken, the army, 4s an army, would still be invincible. ‘Warren’s corps is instantly, but in perfect com- posure, disposed to meet the situation. Grant and Meade and Warren are in Grant’s tent, to and from which officers come and go with a certain earnest air that bespeaks urgent and important cares. So during an hour. Ne firing has been heard the last three quarters of an hour. The rebels must have ceased to advance; but how far have they penetrated, and what is the present situation ? The 6th compe flag comes in. Where is the 6th 8’ chieftain? My watch says 10 0’clock at night. A dispatch received. John Sedgwick safe. Wright safe. The tn corps holds a strong line; only Seymour’s and a part of Shaler’s Briga nae have been brokes. The enemy can do nothing more. The corps has not lost its pristine glory. ee SATURDAY’S REPORT, Spectal Dispateh of the New York T {Spec a 0 ew, York Tribune, Wipemnss, 5 p.M., Saturday, May 7, pore Up to this hour there has been but little fight- ing to-day. Our position this morning was unchanged from yesterday, excepting that the right had been it back, Sedgwick’s affair last night has in no wise cisconcerted the plans of our leaders, depressed their hope, or impaired the efficiency of the army. It was but a disas. trous episode. This became ere fee nt when the morning disclosed the t nowhere on the line was the enemy pressed up against us; they bad during the night withdrawn from the battle-field, leaving us free to cooupy nearly all the ground where lay the slain. He had Yetreated, however, only toanother line, where he evidently challenged an attack. He has played on us all of to-day with long a ins and has kept a bold skirmish line in it. Large parties have day at wok nearly to army headquarters.

The imperative part of this business has been. well and vigilantly attended to. Wilson's division rode into and drove'a por- tion of the enemy's cavalry on Thursday on the road to Roberison’s Tavern.

THE BATTLE OF SUNDAY. WILDERNESS TAVEEN, Sunday, May 3.— There was considerable skirmishing during yesterday afterncon betweén the two armies, snd late in the afternoon Gen. Hill made an attempt to get between Gen. Sedgwick om our " right amd the Rapidan, but was repulced, though at one time it was thought best to let them succeed, as they surely would have fallen into s trap. The enemy’s lines towards dark looked weaker, and by 9 o’clock p. m., it was diecov- ered that the entire Rebel army hed fallen back towards Spottsyivania Court House. . Our cavalry started tel py and by day- * light toeday our corps had commenced to more forward. I stop the courier to add that I have just heard that our cavalry are skirmishing with Gen. Lee’s rear, beyond Pine-tree church, near Spottsylvania village. Itis the impree- sion here that unless his presence is demanded near Richmond, Gen. Lee has fallen back to the North Anna river for a new defensive line.
