Pf the fight yesterday we had received i nothing definite up to 11 o'clock last night. It ‘Was renewed at daybreak yesterday morning, Bad i reported to have raged with great fury during the entire day. At 10 o'clock last night mo Official intormation in regard to the result Of the engagement had been received at the ~ War Department, but we have every reason to believe that General Lee has achieved another Signal victory over the enemy. . Rumors, The city was filled with romors of every de- scription yesterday. One which seemed to Bain credence was that Gen. Lee yesterday Succeeded in getting in Grant’s rear, and there Captared a courier having on his Person a dis- patch from Grant to Burnside, ordering him to «hurry up,” or he (G@.) would be compelled to fall back from his position,” that seeing no other chance of escape he determined to cut his way throngh the Stonewall Brigade, which, Q@fter a desperate assault, he finally succeeded in doing. It was also stated that while re- peliing this assault, Gen. Walker, of the Stone- ‘wall Brigade, and Gen. George H. Stewart, of Maryland, were killed.” The Whig of the 7th says : «In some respects Richmond is in more flanger than when McClellan, at the head of me hundred thousand-men, was encam awithin five miles of the corporation limits. Dur readers are well aware of the weak point tm our defence.” sic The panic in Richmond on Saturday is shown by the announcement in the Sentinel that “the Yankee officers at the Libby, one thousand in ‘umber, are to be sent to Danville immedi- * ately.” The Sentinel of the 7th says that the different churches of Richmond were kept open during Thureday, Friday and Saturday, and thronged ‘With persons offering up prayers for the suc- ess of the Confederate arms in the battles taking place.

Subscriptions to these Bonds are re- ceived in United Btates notes or notes of National Banks. They are TO BE REDEEMED IN OOIN, at the pleasure of the Government, at any period not less than ten nor more than forty years from their date, and until their redemption FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN OOIN, on Bonds of not over ene hundred dollars annually and on all other Bonds semi annually. The in- terest is payable onthe first days of Maroh and September in each year. ° Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are recorded on the Books of the United Btates Treasurer,and can be transferred only on the owner’s order, Coupon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more convenient for Commercial uses. Subscribers to this loan will have the option of having their Bonds draw interest from Maroh Ist, by paying the accrued intest in coin—or in Uni- ted States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent. for premium,) or receive them drawing interest from the date of subscrip- tionand deposit, As these Bonds are EXEMPT FROM MUNICIPAL OR STATE TAXATION, their value is increased from one to three pet cent. per annum, according to the rate of tex levies in various parts of the country, At the present rate of promium on gold they psy OVER EIGHT PER CENT. INTERSST in currency, and are of equal convenience as a per- manent or temporary investment, It is believed that no securities offer so great inducements to lenders as the various descrip- tions of U.8. Bonds, In all other forms of in- debtedness, the faith or ability of private parties or stock companies or separate communities only is pledged for payment, while for the debts of the United States the wholeprc perty of the country is holden to secure tae prgm.nt of both principal and interest in coin. These Bonds may besatect ibed for in auras from $50 up to any magnitude, o# the same terms, and are thus made equalipervat ‘able to the smallest lender and tne targest capitalist. They can be converted into money at any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of the interest. It may be useful to state in this connection that the total Funded Debt of the United States on which interest is payable in gold, on the $d day of March. 1864, was $768 955,000. The interest on this debt for the coming fiscal year will be $45.957 125, while the customs revenue in gold fer the current fiscal year, ending June 30th, 1854, has been so far at the rate of over $10,000,000 per annum. It will be seen that even the present gold reve- nues of the Government are largely in excens of the wante of the Treasury for the payment of gold interest, while the recent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the annual receipts from cus. tems on the same amount of importations,, to $10,000,000 per annum. Instructions to the National Banka acting as loan agents were not issued until March 25, but the amount of Bonds reported sold at the U. 8. Treasury up to May7, was $44,616,100. Subscriptions will besreceived by the Treasurer of the United States at Washington, and the Assist- ant Treasurers at New York, Boston and Philadel- phia, and by the t FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF WASHINGTON, FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BALTIMORE, and by all National Banks which are depositaries of public money, and all respectable banks and bankers throughout the country (acting as agonts of the National Depositary Banks,) will furnish farther informatign on application, and afford every facility to subscribers, WANTS.

The following dispatch is From General Ingal’s, Assistant Quartermaster General, to Senator J. W.

Gen’ls Getty, Robinson, Baxter and Torbert were among the ‘wounded, and the bodies of Gen'ls Sedgwick and Hays ank Vol Chapman were also brought up and were turned over to Dr. Holmes, Pa. avenue, to beembalmed. Gen. Sedgwick was killed Monday and therefore his body pre- sents & very natural appearance and it has been visited this morning by hundreds of citi- zens and soldiers. The bodies of Gen. Hays and Col. Chapman are much decomposed from continued expo- sure to the sun and weather. The officers who brought up (ten. Sedgwick’s body say that there is no doubt of Brig. Gen. Wadeworth’s death, but his body, up to tha time they left, had not been recovered, and it is supposed that it may have been hidden by the enemy, a8 the spot upon which he fell was in the hands of each side by turns. Gen. Sedgwick was wounded while super- intending the placing of a battery in proper position on Monday. The ball entered about half an inch below the left eye, close up to the nose, and is supposed to have at once entered the brain, as death ensued almost immediately. Among other officers reported killed, are Colonel Williams, of the Nineteenth Indiana, and Colonel Miller, 147th New York. Captain John T. Dent, and Captain J. L. Spark, of Ist Delaware; Captain J. H. Logan, of 2d Indiana, and Lieutenant J. W. Hauk, of the same regiment, are among the wounded, and were brought up last night. On Friday last, Ward’s Brigade of Birney's Division, Second Corps, who occupied a posi- tion on the Chancellorsville and Gordonsville plank road, dreve the rebels with such force out of temporary rifle-pits, that a dead rebel occupied nearly every fifteen’square foot of ground. In this onset the 20th Indiand captured the colors of the 55th Virgiuia (rebel) regiment, This attack was made on apart of Ewell’s force, and he was driven a mile from his posi- tion, when Longstreet reinforced him, and in turn our forces were driven back a short dis- tance, but a portion of Burnsiile’s command coming to Hancock’s relief, the rebels were successfully resisted, and a fearful slaughter ensued; and the Confederates were driven back, and although herculean efforts were made, they failed to regain any lost ground. Many were only shghtly vfounded and walked from the battle-fleld to Fredericksburg and from thence to Belle Plain, where they embarked. Gen. Torbert, of the New Jersey Brigade, wounded in the thigh, was also brought up. The General was sent from the battle-field in an ambulance, and when nearing Belle Plain @ party of guerrillas made a dash, captured the ambulance, and took off the horses, leaving the General in the road: but some of our ‘wounded soldiers coming along shortly atter- wards drew the General to Belle Plain, where he was placed on board the boat. “ Gen. John C. Robinson, commanding the 24 division of the 5th corps, who was wounded on Sunday morning while leading a charge on the rebels at Spotsylvania Court House—having previously led two other charges—is among the number. He received a ninie ball in his knee, inflictinga painful wound. Gen. R. has seen much service during thewar, (some forty- eight days’ fighting,) and he describes the fighting the latter part of last week as the most terrific in his experience. The General was struck twice on Sunday, the first ball striking is spur, and glancing off, it struck the belt- plate of his servant, who was immediately be- hind, and the ball again glanced upwards, striking the General near the elbow, and pass- ing through the servant’s arm. On the arrival of the boats at the Sixth street wharf, they were met by Dr. W. E. Waters, Medical Inspector, who had charge of their disposition among the various hospitals, and the officers (Captam Allen, A.Q.M., George Mattingly, Superintendent,) made every en- deavor to facilitate their speedy transfer from the boats to the ambulances, (which, however, did not arrive until an hour or more after the firet boat got up.) A company of Volunteer Reserves performed guard duty keeping off the crowd, and allowing no persons on the wharf excepting those who had business there.

THE ENGAGEMENT TERBIFIC, ——»—_ THE BEBEL BOATS DRIVEN OFF, —>—_ New YorE, May 11.—The Herald correspon- dent at Newbern, May 7th, says: On Thursday, the 5th inst., at half-past one p.m., the rebel ram Albemarle, accompanied by its satellite, the Cotton Plant, and the gun- boat captured by them at Plymouth, appeared at the mouth of the Roanoke river. ‘The gunboats Miami, Whitehead, Oeres and @ommodore Hull were lying in close to the river on the Sound, on perceiving the Ram designing to enter the Sound, they madc oT as if fearful of an encounter, but were only anx- fous to draw the Ram into the Sound. She and her followers pursued for about 12 miles, when the gunboats Sassacus, Wyalu- singand Mattabesett, double-enders, appeared. Our gunboats, seven in number, immediately opened fire, and a terrific engagement ensued. ‘The O.tton Plant made her escape, while the Albemarle slowly retreated up the Sound, and firing rapidly. The gunboat Bombehell was retaken, with all on board. ‘The Sassacus, having an iron prow, run at full speed upon the ram, striking tH abaft the center, but apparently doing no damage. The Saseacus had her forward rudder “knocked off and was obliged to retire closely followed by the gunboats.

Admitting that the enemy has fought in these battles with a bravery, desperation and perti- nacity unequalled on their part in the history of the war,it is true also that the Army of the Po- tomac, under Grant, has sustained itself under the shock of theee continued attacks of the ene- my, under circumstances most unfavorable, with similar unequalled courage and perti- nacity on its part. Grant heretofore has conquered by the very force of a pertinacity that finally exhausted the qnemy and he now in exchanging these terrible blows with Lee shows the same im- perturbable purpose to win. His prize 1s Richmond, and his indomitable pluck will reach it. SKEDADDLERS, Many of the officers and men brought up in the boats last night from Fredericksburg are evidently skedaddlers, as some of them can be seen lounging around the hotels to-day with hardly a scratch upon their persons. Yester- day, & captain, who had walked all the way from the battle-field, reported himself here as having been struck with ashell. He was ex- amined by & surgeon, and found not to be dis- abled, further than that his feet were some- what swoolen, which was caused doubtless by his long walk to this city. The examining surgeon reported the officer to the War Depart- ment ag having been “disabled from running,” and it is understood that he will be court martialed. THE SIXTH ARMY CORPS, This army corps is now commanded by General Horatio Wright, formerly a division commander under General Sedgwick. Gen’l W. is an officer of much military experience, and under his direction the old Sixth Corps will doubtless sustain its proud reputation for gallantry. NURSES FOR THE WOUNDED. We hear that 8 number of clerks in the Treasury and other Departments have been detailed to go to the hospitals at Fredericks- burg and elsewhere near the scene of op3ra- tions, in order to give such aid and care to the wounded as their cases may require.

He made a statement tothe effect that the expedition was under the command of Gen. Lee, of Kansas, who several times had asked that infantry be given him tosustain and cover his artillery, which was only protected by cavalry. le said that the disastrous result was due to this mismanagement.

IMPORTANT ERO NORTH CAROLI- Revel Demonstration against Newbern— Their Repulse by eur Cavalry. Hatreras, N. C., May 7.—The schooner Eliza Sheddon, bound for New York, has just arrived here from Newbern, and reports that the enemy made & demonstration on Newbern yesterday, cutting off the railroad communica- tion between that place and Beaufort, and making his appearance on the sonth side efthe Neuse river, two miles below the city, witha cavalry force, accompanied by a battery of four guns, which commanded the water ap- proaches to Newbern for a brief period. The gunboats Commodore Barney and Lou- isiana suddenly made their appearance at the point threatened, and forced the enemy pack from the river. Nothing was allowed to pass over the railroad from Newhbern to Beaufort yesterday, as this demonstration was expected; therefore the enemy failed to secure a loaded train of cars. Capt. White thinks this move- ment of the enemy is only a cavalry dash, and not intended as a general attack on Newbern. LOOAL NEWS. pele RS SaLzs or Rear EstaTe.—Last evei 3 Messrs. James C.
