Lee abandoned his position during the night, whether to occupy anew onein the vicinity, or to make a thorough retreat is notdetermined. One division of Wright's, and one division of Hancock's, are engaged in settling this ques- tion, and at 7.30 a. m. had come upon their rear gvard. Though our army is greatly fatigued from the enormous efforts of yesterdiy, th> news of Lee's departure inspires the men with iresh energy. The whole force will soon be in Motion, but the heavy rain of the Jast thirty- fix hours renders the road very difficult for Wagons and artillery. The proportion of severely wounded is greater than in either of the previous days’ fighting. This was owing to the great use made of artillery. ©. A. DANA. The following dispatch was read yesterd in the House of Representatives, by Hon. Elihu B. Washburne, of Illinois. Mr. Washburne, in presenting the dispatch, said: “Tf upanimous consent be given by the gen- tleman from Ohio, (Mr. Ashley,) I ‘will state to the House the importance of the official dis- atch from Mr. Dana, Assistant Secretary ot ar. Itis dated at Gen. Grant's headgquer- tere, vesterday morning, at o'clock. He says that ine batle was renewed at 4.3) yesterday morning. Hancock, during the night, took up 8 position between Wright and Burnside, and at daylight attacked with his usual impetn- ority, forcing the front and second line of the enemy, taking the wholeot the rebel Brig. Gen. Jobnson’s division and part of Gen. Early’s, and capturing the rebel Brig.Gen. Johnson and Gen. Stewart, together with42 guns, Barn- side on the left opened at the same time, and advanced with but littleopposition, 2nd forced & junction with Hancock. ‘Wrivht attacked at7.15,and was at work while Warren was demonstrating in front to hold the enemy, who was strong in his front. The precise number of prisoners was not known, but they can be counted by thousands.’ [Correepondence Associated Press. ] HEADQUARTERS IN THE FIELD, May 13—7 a. m.— Yesterday, #s I informed yeu by messaze, ‘was one of the hardest day’s fighting we have et had—the most severe being in the forenoon. ‘he night previous General Hancock moved part of bis corps to the left of the 6:h corps, where the enemy had a strong position, and the guns from which annoyed oor batteries much, and which it was determined to take if possible. At daylight the charge was made, and although our men were met with the most destractive fire, yet they gnined the first line of works before the rebels could get out and run. The consequence was that over 3,000 prisoners were taken, 3,180 men, and 241 officers, among them Major General E. Johnson, General G. H. Stuart, brother of President Stuart, of the Sai itary Commision, besides, as is reported, ferty- two guns, (only sixteen of which I saw, how- ever,) with caissons, etc., some of which were manufactured in New York. The rebels made the most strenuous exertions nearly all day t» regain the position, but failed, each time they came charging toward it bring received with such vollies as sent them back in disorder. Burnside’s men were not so fortunate in their attempt to gain the line of works in taeir front, the 2d and 3d divisions being badly cut up while making the effort. The loss yesterday was very heavy, the rebels’ being more thanours The total num- ber of prisoners in our hands now numbers Over 7,500 since the opening of the campaign. This morning the enemy seem to have falien back, and some believe they are in fuli retreat. Our troops are being pushed forward, and we shall soon learn the facts. A-dispatch was received yesterday from Gen. Sheridan, announcing the destruction of ten miles of road, besides bridges at Beaver Dam, the capture of three trains and two lo- comotives, and the recapture of 500 of oarown men. He said he had half a day’s forage left, but was going to get more near Richmond. This news being spread throngh thearmy created great rejoicing. Among the wounded yesterday were Lieut. Col. Rogers, 1th Pennsylvania; Gen. Birney, slight Gen. Webb, slight; Capt Keyser, 14th regulars: Capt. Kelly, 69th New York. Gen. Schriver has been appointed Governor of Frederickeburg, aud has gone thither to enter upon his duties. THURSDAY'S GREAT FIGHT. [Correspondence of the New York Wirld.} The Army of the Potomac opened iteseventh consecutive day of battle this morning with brilliant euccess Advices to ni, direct from the tront state that ock’s corps on the centre, just west of Spottsylvania Court House, moved at an early hour on A. P. Hill’s old corps, and after a severe skirmish drove Heath’s division and part of Wilcox’s, captur- ing two thousand prisoners, one Major and two Brigadier Generals, and fifty field and line officers. Rumor Las placed the number mach higher, but they are believed to be the facts as near as could be obtained hastily from the front and tran: mitted to Fredericksburg. Atnire o’clock a.m. no other fighting had occurred, and it was hard to say whether a general battle ensued or not. The belief is that another one was fought to- day. Intelligence ot yesterday's situation is at hand. Heavy artillery firing and skirmishing were kept up. Burnside and Hancock maintained the posi- tion which they occupied at the close of the battleon Tuesday. it was thought that a gen- eral engagement could not be prolonged beyond to-day, but itis impossible to tell if one was fought. Those who reach here from the front are confident that one corps of Lee’s army is aeross the Po river, and that he will not risk another engagement on this side. In the general advance on Tuesday the 6th corps ca tured 1,000 prisoners of Dole’s brigade, of ies’ division, of Ewell’s corps, with 27 officers and several stands of colors, instead of three brigades, as published. It is believed that the enemy’s loss on Tues- day far exceeds that of our army, asitisknown that the casualtief in Gen. Heath’s rebel brigade wereenormeus. A prisonerstated that nothing bad ever been seen like it. The rebel dead were piled up in hears on the ground. Sheridan cut both railroads leading to Richmond at Saxton’s Junction, twenty miles from the rebel capital. He has thus effectually destroyed the road. FROM GEN’L BUTLER’S COMMAND.
