ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. A Brief Rest—Lee Reported Again Retre: ing—Another Advance Ordered—The En- emy Forced Back. [Associated Press War Correspondence.} Dispatches trom the Army of the Potomac speak of Gen. Wright, who succeeds the late Gen, Sedgwick, as an able soldier, and who ‘will not fail to secure the confidence of those over whom he is placed. No movement of the army was intended to be made on Monday, but a brief period of rest given tothe army after their heavy labors of the past week. All was very quiet along the lines till late in the afternoon. It was thought the enemy were probably falling back, or that Gen. Lee had already gone to Richmond to meet Gen. Smith, who was reported as being close to that place, and therefore a move for- ward along our entire line was determined on and commenced at half-past five o’clock, the right consisting of Gens. Birney’s and Gib- bon’s divisions of the 2d corps, and Uarroll’s brigade on the left, joining Warren’s, the latter being the centre, with the 6th corps on the left. The right croseed a branch of the Po river and charged on a light horse battery which was posted to cover a small bridge, but which quickly limbered up and started off, the skir- mishers supporting it also retreating. In front of Warren, and on the left of Gen, Hancock, quite a lively engagement ensued, the shell and round shot from one of the enemy’s batteries placed in the woods coming in rather close proximity to some lookers-on in an open field in tne rear of Gen. Warren’s headquar- ters, and causing & stampede of the cowards. The enemy were driven back about three- fourths of & mile, and at dark the firing ceased. A tew prisoners were captured. ‘hey be- long to Wilcox’s division of Hill’s corps. It Is believed, however, that Longstreet’s corps was the only one in our front, and that he was left there to impede our TOgTess as much &s possible. « However,” adds the cor- respondent, ‘we shall know in the morning.” A rebel cavalry brigade is reported as having been seen on the north side of the Rapidan, on [ Monday, near Fredericksburg. As the latter place is in our psseesion, trains of wounded ave been sent thither tobe forwarded to Bell one and thence by transports to Washing- n. Messengers have been sent forward to stop all boats going up the Potomac, and to load them with wounded, : The Latest—General Warren Handsomely Whips the Enemy. BATTLE-¥IELD, May 10.—Last night about 11 o'clock the rebels in frontdf General Warren's corps made An assault on a line of rifle-pits hastily constructed. Our men gave them a volley and tell back, for the purpose of drawing them on to a second line, The ruse was successful, and as the rebels advanced ‘they were received by a de- structive fire, which drove them back in dis- order. Bat finding our men still retiring they followed and made a charge on the third line. Here the whole of our line gave them such a raking fire as almost to demolish them, and springing after them, we charged and drove them back in utter disorder. -Their loss was very heavy, while ourowk was light. We also took a number of prisoners. On Tuesday General Burnside began the attack on the left. No particulars of this battle, however, have yet been received. Gen. Grant Steadily Fighting his W: Lee Endeavoring te Check his Progr Another Battle Expected—Grant Makes a Flank Movement, and Gains an Ad- vantageous ition. New York, May 11.—Carleton, the intelli- gent and thornneghly reliahle correspondent of the Boston Journal, makes the following re- port: NEAR SPOTTSYLVANIA, May 10, 10 o’clock A. M.—We have had five days fighting, and the prospect is for more. Lee is determined to dispute every inch of the way. Longstreet’s corps was moved down from the Wilderness to secure favorable ground at Spottsylvania. Lee’s whole force is reported to be in front. Last night the 3d corps, holding the right, made a flank movement across the Po river, andare in a position to attack the enemy to- day, and there is a prospect of a great battle unless Lee retreats. The 2d corps had closed the fight last night. General Birney held the right and Gibbon the center, and Bartar the left. The rebels were driven from their position and ground gained, which will enable Gen. Grant to make a favorable disposition of his forces. Everything is favorable. There is no trouble about supplies. Communication is open with Washington, and our woundea are sent to Fredericksburg. a SUNDAY’S FIGHT. [Correspondence Daily Uhronicle.] The Sth corps has suffered fearfully. It has been in every engagement during this march— indeed, what corps has been idle? They marched most of Saturday night, and were just in time to fight Ewell, near Spotsylvania. jartlett’s brigade, of Griffin’s division, was in advance, and was shelled considerably. As usual, the rebels, who are acquainted with every inch of the country, fell back toa suit- able spot, where they calmly awaited our coming. The rebels posted their artillery near a emallron. Battery 0, 3d Massachusetts, and D, Sth United States artillery, were plant- ed at the forks of the road, so they could attend to the rebel batteries near Nye Run: Robin- son was on the right, Griffin on the lett. The battle became general and soon waxed warm. The fight continued from 8 to 12a. m. About two houts before dark a division of the 6th corps came to the assistance of Warren, who was sey oara pressed by Longstreet and Ewell. ‘e have been on this side of the Rapidan one week—a longer period than ever before. There has been a erent deal of quick marching performed and eavy fighting. We have fifty miles to go over before entering Richmond. Uommunication being open to ‘Washington, a new suppl of provisions can be obtained, the men res: d, the wounded cared for. If we advance as far every week 88 we did this last one, Richmond will surely be reached by the 4th of July. Whata fearful price it would cost? It would bea terrible iumph. Grant could say, like the Greek foes Pyrrbus, “Another such victory and am undone.” FROM EUROPE, Ne Recent Fighting in Denmark—Meve- ments of Garibaldi—W hereabonts of the Pirate Alabama.
