To Mcjor General Diz, New York : Despatches from General Grant’s head- | quarters, dated three o'clock yesterday after- noon, have just been received. No operations took place on Thursday. Yesterday morning, at half-past fouro’clock, General Grant made | an assaulton the enemy’s lines, of which he | makes the following report: «We assaulted at 4.30 a. m. this morning, driv- ing the enemy within his entrenchments at all | points, but without gaming any decisive ad- ‘vantage. Our troops now occupy a position i close to the enemy—some places within fifty yards—and are remaining. Our loss was net severe, nor do I suppose the enemy te have Jost heavily. We captured over three hundred | prisoners, mostly from Breckinridge.” Another later official report (not from Gene- ral Grant) estimates the number of our gilled and wounded at about three thousand. The dtoilowing officers are among the killed: Colo- nel Haskell, of the 36th Wisconsin; Colonel Porter, Sth New York Heavy Artillery; Colo- | nel Morris, 66th New York. Among the wounded are General R. O. Ty- | Jer, seriously, will probably lose a foot; Col, DicMahon, 164th New York; Col. Byrnes, 23th Mas:achusetts, probably mortally; Colonel Brooks, 53d Pennsylvania. Epwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War.

THE SITUATION, | The engagement of yesterday announced in | may be regarded as the third of the series of of Richmond. Grant, since crossing the Pa- munkey, has been gradually drawing his lines nearer to the city’s fortifications, and in so doing has twice been heayily and unsucce: fully attacked by Lee. Ox both those occa- sions the rebel effort was to drive Grant from positions the command of which enabled him to advance his limes still further, and in each the result wae the repulse of the rebels and the failure of their efforts. On this occasion Grant made the attack, and-hea driven the rebels out of the open field. The entrenchments into which he states he has driven the enemy back, are, we hear from other sources—parties coming up on the boat bringing the official in- formation—their line constructed in the Chick- shominy swamps. If our forces are able to hold their position within fifty yards of them, it is, it strikes us, quite safe to trust Grant to drive the rebels from them in very brief time. So far success has invariably crowned his atrategy and energy when So situated. The Engagement on Tuesday last. eile GRANT DRIVES THE ENEMY AND HOLDS THE GROUND. ees ALSO, HOLDS THE REBEL KILLED AND WOUNDED AND 500 PRISONERS. —— ees Advices from the army of the Potomac, dated | June2d, in the morning, are to the effect that in our cavalry engagement on Tuesday we drove the enemy from their position on the Mechanicsville road and inflicted much aam- age upon them. On the right wing the enemy with @ strong force of cavalry and infantry advanced to retake the ground, but were forced to retire in hot haste, our guns pouring heavy volleys into their ranks. The rebel attack in the afternoon on the 6th corps was handsomely repulsed. They were driven about @ mile, leaving their dead and wounded in our possession. Rickett’s division took over 500 prisoners Our loss was not seyere, A like unsuccessful attempt was made upon Gen. Warren. The rebels lost heavily. Across the Tolopotomy Gen. Hancock was attacked on his left, but not in force; the ob- ject cf the enemy evidently being to feel our position. We afterwards felt theirs, and found it well defended. it appears from the accounts that in every case of attack we got the advantage. GENERAL ARRIVAL OF MORE WOUNDED, The steamer State of Maine arrived about 10 o’clock this morning, bringing up four hun- dred and twenty wounded from the late bat- tles before Richmond. The news brought up by the Connecticnt as to heavy firing, &c., is confirmed by the State of Maine Among the wounded is John A. Huff of Co. E, 5th Michigan Cavalry who shot the Rebel General Jeb Stuart. Huff and his comrades state that their regiment was ordered to change their position and as they were about moving an officer was seen in front of the line giving orders when he asked the Colonel permission to ‘‘stop his gab,” and obtaining it he immedi- ately Joaded his piece and dropped him. Mr. Huff is an excellent shot and was formerly in Berdan’s sharpshooters, in which regiment he made many such good shots. The officer was subsequently ascertained to be Jeb Stuart Among the prisoners now at White House, brought in on Thursday, are two females, one a Sergeant in a Cavalry company, and the other a Lientenant, who were both in uniform (male attire.) The latter is said to bea remark- ably fine looking woni#n, and when taken had command of a battery which wasgiving us not & iittle trouble. CAPTURE OF A BLOCKADE RUNNER. The Navy Department has received infor- mation of the capture, off Wilmington, of the steamer Caledonia, whilst attempting to run the blockade. The Caledonia is a side-wheel steamer, with long and. high paddle-boxes. She has three smoke stacks, two forward, and one aft, with hay frames fore and aft, and has a straight stem. She is built like a river steamer and is at present painted a light lead color. The Caledonia is of 317 tons burthen, with a crew of 37 men: She was built and registered at Quebec in 1563, and was owned by A. Keitts, Jr., of Halifax, who acts as agent at (Queenstown for the Confederates, LATEST FROM FORTRESS MONROE. By 4 party from Fortress Monroe yesterday afternoon we learn that heavy firing was heard in frontyesterday. Reinforcements were being rapidly pushed forward, ten large transports going upon Thursday, and a like number yes- terday mofning. The report of the capture of Fitzhugh Lee and 500 of his men was discredited at the fort yesterday. FROM THE RAPPAHANNOCK. The gunboat Commodore Reed arrived yes- terday afternoon from the mouth of the Rappa- hannock. All the stores belonging to the Goy- ernment at Port Royal have been removed, end the transports containing the last of them were convoyed down the stream by the gunboats on Wednesday night, and on the following morn- ing the blockade was again placed at the mouth of the Rappahannock. KILLED. Capt Wm. Brevoort, lst Michigan cavalry, was instantly killed in the skirmishing line near Whith House, Va. by a bullet through the head on the evening of the Ist instant. An officer presentsays he was gallantly cheering his men on at the time. He had been in up- wards of sixty engagements. CONGRESSIONAL. —— AXXVIIIre CONGRESS.—FIRST SESSION. ee SaTurpay, June 4.
