Major General Dix: Despatches from the Army of the Potomac have just reached here, bearing dates to five O’clock P. M. yesterday. Both armies at that time held their posi- tions at Spottsylvania Court House, without ‘my material change. The enemy had been driven to their breast- ‘works. The Sixth corps, under General Wright, had @arried the first line of the enemy’s rifle pits. There had been heavy skirmishing during ‘the day. Our wounded had reached Fredericksburg, end during the night some were brought up to Washington. The Surgeon General reports that ample sup- plies of nurses, surgeons and medical stores have gone forward. There has been nothing heard from Generai Sherman or General Butler since my last despatch of yesterday. EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War. J Secretary Stanton to General Dix. Wasuincton, May 11, 1864. To Mejor General Dix: No intelligence has been received by this Department from the Army of the Potomac since my despatch of this morning. A despatch from General Sherman, dated at Tonnel Hill, 7:30 P.M., May 16, states that MePherson had not attacked the enemy at Re- gaca, having found their position strongly forti- Ged, and bad taken his position at Snake Creek Gap. General Sherman was in front of Buzzard Roost Gap, awaiting the arrival of a part of his forces. This despatch came by way of Knoxville ‘and Cumberland Gap, having been delayed over twenty-four hours in consequence of a heavy storm that broke down all the lines south of Nashville. No intelligence has been received to-day from Gen. Butler’s command, except that 300 rebel prisoners, including one negro, had ar rived at Fortress Monroe, from City Point, in charge of a negro guard. From Banks’ command nothing of recent ate has been received. EDWIN M. STANTON, ey of War. INCIDENTS OF 1 THE BATTLE FIELD. Mr. Prancts C, Long’s Despatches. In sue Fiewp, Near Srormyivasia Courr Hovse, May 8—Evening. SRE ADVANCE APTER THE RATTLE OF THR WILDERNESS, At four o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, May 7, the @rmy, which had been fighting almost continuonsly for two days, with somewhat equivocal success, began to Move towards Chanceliorsville, The two days’ fighting fa the Wilderness was very dienstrous to both parties, a the losses sustained by either army were about equal. ‘THE BATTLE GROUND CHOSEN BY LER. ‘The place General Lee chose for a battle ground was a ‘Very poor one in some respects, as he could not bring bis artillery to bear upon us, On the Orange pike, rauning through our line perpendicularly, the enemy had a bat ‘ery planted, and threw a fow shelis down the road oc- easionally, without, however, doing much damage. THE RANDOM FIRING OF THR REBELS, Lee must have been sadly puzzled to ascertain the exact position of onr line; for the few shots and shells Whrown from his batteries were fired at random, doing little damage to anything save the tops of the trees; and, although I passed the whole length of our line of battle several times, it was so irregular and hidden in such Imponotrable thickets of shrubsand trees I could scarcely form an opinion of its length, strength, or tho exact po: sition it ocoupied, THR WHLTMRNESS RATTLES HOW It DRGAR, General Meade, it is understood, did not wish to bring om an engagement with the rebels in the Wilderness Had tho enemy remained in his intrenehments at Racoooo or Morton's ford, it ie probable that we should have parsed them without firing a single shot, THM HORPITALE. The hospitals Of the reveral divigions At iyo Baktle the Wilderness presented a fearful picture of suffering. | Long trains of ambulances were continually bringing in men wounded 1D 'y place and in every way the ima. gination can conceive. The few minutes | spent at one of the field hospitals has left a picture of horror on my mind that will not soon be obliterated. Some lay pale and quiet, seeming almost dead; others were frightfully dis- figured by wounds in the face, and the blood oozing from their wounds formed pools upon tbe ground, Oatbs, prayers, sighs, groans and shrieks ascended together. ‘The tired and overtasked surgeons were constantly at work, probing wounds, dressing contueions and perform. ‘ng amputations, while outside the fly where they worked Jay piles of arms, legs handa, fect and fingers. To add to the discomfort of our wounded, the weather was unusually warm, and many of the poor fellows had but little pro- tection from the rays of the sun, They lay. groaning with the anguish of their wounds, and half suffocated with heat. The surgeons at the different hospitals and upon the battle field did all that was in their power to mitigate the sufferings of the men. THE LADOR ATTENDING THE REMOVAL OF THR WOUNDED, When the army advanced from the Wilderness our sick and wounded bad to be loaded in the ambulances and empty baggage wagons and taken along with us. It is work of considerable importance to transport from twelve to fifteen thousand wounded mem under such circum. stances as attended the present march, As many as could be transported’ were loaded in the wagons and taken along. One thousand at least—some say more— were left bebind, unable to be removed, Large numbers of our wounded men left the hospitals on foot as soon as they heard they were to be loft bebind, proferring to limp and craw] after the army; and all day yesterday disabled sol ders were dragging themselves along after our wagon traing—some substituting a patr of muskets for crutches, while others might be seen too weak to support them- selves, but each assisted along betweon two comrades, both of whom were nearly as badly off as himself. APPROACHING SPOTTSYLVANIA COURT HOUSE—THE REBELS IN LINE, About four miles from Spottsylvania Court House we encountered a considerable force of rebels, who were drawn up io line of battle to oppose our further advance. Our cavalry had been amusing them all the day previous with brisk skirmishes, and shelling them with a few Pieces of light artillery. A line of battle was immediately formed by our troops im the form of a right angle or letter L, General Hancock, with the First, Third and Fourth divisions of his (the Second) corps, commanding one angle, and Generals War- ren and Sedgwick the other. General Sedgwick com- manded a part of his corps (the Sixth) aud one division of the Second, and Genera! Warren commanded a portion of the Fifth corps. THE STRUGGIR—REBEL RESISTANCE AND OUR VICTORY. The enemy resisted every foot of the ground despe- rately; but they were driven backward gradually, and when the fighting ceased for the night we had wrested two or three miles of ground from them, and we are at present in peaceful occupation of it. Two thousand prisoners, it is reported, were captured yesterday from Longstreet, who is said to be in front of us. Moxpay, May 9, 186: To-day @ new line of communisation will be opened with Washington by the way of Aquia creek, via Frede- rickeburg. The rebel prisoners will be sent to Washing- ton, as well as our wounded, ‘THB SITUATION. ‘That the rebellion was on its laat legs we have often eon assured; but never till now has it been so apparent. Jeff. Davis knows well that he must crush the Army of the Potomac in the present struggle, or his confederacy will be irrevocably quashed. He is making almost super- human efforts to check the slow but sure advance of the Union army. VIGOR OF THR CAMPAIGN. It ts acknowledged by every one that the vigor wil which the present campaign is conducted far exoceds any former one since tho war was inaugurated. ‘Things are approaching a Gnaiity, and, although we may meet with heavy losses, aid perhaps a» partial defeat, yet if the ardor which characterizes the beginning of the pending struggle be continued victory will inevitably porch upon our baoners—a glorious vic. tory, sacred for the cause for which it was won, and still more sacred for having passed through the soloma ritual of baptism in the hallowed blood of our sons and brothers, ‘WAY WE HAVE NOT MOVED FASTER. ‘the movements of the army since the battle of the Wilderness have been much impeded by the vast numbers of the wounded we were obliged to take with, us, and if they are not sent to Washington, via Aquia creek, as it is reported they will be, some way of getting rid of such a serious encumbrance must be devised very soon; for the umber of our disabled is increasing daily. Our Army Correspondence. Wasmixatox, May 11, 1864. THE FIRST ADVANCE. The Army of the Potomac started on Wednesday, the 4th inst., crossing the Rapidan in the following order:— The Fifth corps, preceded by a division of cavalry and followed by the Sixth corps, crossed at Germannia Ford, and moved along the plank road towards Chancgllors- ville. The Second corps, also preceded by a cavalry division, crossed at Ely’s Fosd, moving parallel with the other commands and towards the same point, All the supply trains accompanied the Second cor The ammunition train and a few wagons, loaded wi forage, moved om the plank road, forming a double column with the Fifth and Sixth corps. Burnside’s command remained near Brandy Btation, and followed after the Sixth corps on Thursday. The otner cavairy division was stationed at Germannia Ford for the protection of our rear, ‘THR ORJRCT OF THE MOVEMENT was to reach Spottsylvania Court House, if possible, with- out an engagement, and where the topography of the country affords much better facilities for either offensive or defensive operations. Information received from prisoners on tbe evenings of Thursday and Friday clearly demonstrated that Lee expected to entrap us at Wilderness, and for this purpose offered no opposition to our advonce across the Rapidan. THE CAVALRY FIGHT—WADSWORTH ORDERED FORWARD On Thursday afternoon our cavairy on the right flank of the Fifth corps met thetrebel cavalry, advancing down the turnpike leading from Orange Court House to Wilder. ness, and after a sharp skirmish were pressed back. The impression prevailed among our officers that this was but afeint of the enemy, and Wadswortn’s division was sent out across the fleids, with orders to attack the advancing rebel column on the flank; but, the skirmish. ers baving been thrown out to a considerable dis tapce in advance of the division, before our troops could accomplish their object the enemy were apprised of our movement and deployed alung a wooded crest, in line of battle, and poured into the divi- sion A murderous fire. Our men were in a marshy fleld, and wholly exposed, while the enemy's position effectual- ly secured him from view. After a desperate struggle the division broke and fell back in some disorder, which, however, was speedily checked. TH MOVEMENTS OF THE RERELS—AN ENGAGEMENT. It was then found that Ewell’s whole corps was before ws at this point, and that Hill, followed by Longstreet was advancing on the plank road from Orange Court House to Chancetlorsville, and in tine parallel to that fol. lowed by Fwell and within supporting, distance, Griffin’s division engaged the enemy on Wades. worth’s right shortly after the attack of the latter, and for about two hours the battle raged quite fiercely, each eide advancing and being repulsed aiternatoly. Night closed this strnggle, the enemy trav. ing euffered very terribly and failed in bis attempt to pierce our coturan, Our forces, however, which had been engaged, baving fought ata considerable distance from the main column, in being forced back bad left a large pumber of wounded on the fold, ADVANCR OF THE SSCOND CORTS—BURNSIDE'S ARRIVAL CAVALRY OPRRATIONS. In the meantime the Second corps bad passed Chancel- loreviile and pushed on towards Spottsylvania Court House, while the wagon trains were all collected at tho former place, Burnside came in to the support of the Fifth and Sixth corps, which slowly moved on as origi- nally intended, but prepared for another attack, At day light on Friday our cavalry Deoamne engaged with the enemy and was rapidly pushed back past the junction of the Germanoa ford and Orange Court House plank roads, which point had not yet been reached by our in- fantry. WARREN'S PROMPPTUDE—IILT AND LONGETRERT REPULARD, Just ab Hip ritical moment, however, the Fifty corve to get into line of battle in front and on the left of the rebols, while Hancock, who had reached Todd’s tavern, near Spottsylvania Court House, whecled to the right, and, marching towards the rear of our guns,camo up on the left of the Firth corps, thereby forming a perfect and unbroken line, through which Hill and Longstreet despe- rately but vainly attempted to broak. THB BAGGAGE ORDERED TO THE REAR—STRATRGY—THR REBELS IN A TIGHT PLACE Our wagon trains were then ordered back from Chan- cellorsville to the rear of the Sixth corps, and a portion of Barnside’s corps was moved around, with one division of the Sixth, to the left of the Fifth corps, which reated on the Orange Court House plank road. Wadeworth’s division, with its right advanced, pushed through the woods from Wilderness tavern to the scene, and, with Goetty’s division, formed a hook on the right of the Second corps, thereby almost surrounding the advance of Hill’s column, which, however, in the denee forest, managed to escape after suflering severely. WADSWORTH IN PURSCIT—MS DEATH. Waasworth moved on after the retiring rebels, who fought with terrible desperation, until be bad reached a Point three or four miles in advance of our line, when @ battery opened upon him, enfilading bis column aod slaughtering our men fearfully. At this point the General s killed. ERAL WADSWORTH’S SUCCESSOR, General Cutler took command of the division; but, large force of Ewell’s corps having moved across to the support of Hill, our advance was driven back. t ‘This engagement tasted from daylight until about eleven o’clock A. M., the enemy advancing upon our main body only to be driven back in disorder, while our troops sent in pursuit would follow to the rebel reserve to be repulsed fm turn, HOW THE BATTLE WAS FOUGHT. Both armies had protected thetr main columns by fel ing trees and forming almost impassabie abatis, and the fighting was done principally by divisions sent out from these lines. The movements during the entire battle were of aremarkabie character, most expressively de- scribed as seesaw—the rebels making frantic offorts to Pierce our lines, first at one point and then another, to be driven back by our troops, who charged tmpetuously up to the rebel barricades. It is impossible now to par- ticularize the individual achievements of divisions, as these were frequently taken from one corps to support another, and at times one corps commander would ha‘ under his direction nearly one-balf the army. Occasion- ally there was considerable disorder, but nothing serious, as troops that broke and run in the wildest manner after- wards made some of the most brilliant eharges of the dey. After failing to crush our left and centre, the enemy made a sudden attack upon our right, and fora short time threatened to turn our flank, The right was slowly pressed back, and it was feared that a change of front would become necessary; but the rebels were finally checked, and abandoned all they had gained as rapidly as they had acquired it. After eleven o'clock there was very little fighting, and the day was occupled in feeling the enemy’s position and looking after the wounded, THR FIGHTING ON SATURUAY—LER'S MOVEMENTS. On Saturday there was alittle fighting, but nothing of consequence, Lee having moved off to Spottaylvania Court House, leaving behind his barricades astroug force, which at night followed op as the rear guard. seen JHE ENEMY AGAIN ATACRED. - +" Saturday night ¢ ‘our ur forces “moved down towards Spott- sy!vania Court House, and on Sunday attacked the enemy again The fighting, however, was not decisive, only a small portion of the troops being engaged. OPERATIONS OF SUNDAY AND MONDAY. Sunday and Monday were occupied in securing po- sitions, a little fighting going on at intervals, THE WORK OF TORSDAY—OUR POSiTIO: Yesterday it was expected that a grand attack would be made upon the enemy. Lee occupied a position south of Spotteylvania Court House, bis advance holding the place. Our lines confronted him on the north and west, ‘with the Fifth corps in the centre, the second on the left, and the sixth on the right, Burnside’s troops in reserve. None of the negro troops had been engaged, but they were expected to go in next, Thecavairy had been sent around Lee’s army, and information has been received to the effect that it had destroyed bis communication with Richmond by ratl, and captured a large number of prisoners, General Meade bas had exclusive control of the troops, and in carrying out Genera! Grant's plans has handlod the army with ccnsummato skill, notwithstanding the shifting of divisions and the temporary disorder which occurred from time to time. The army is in fine condi- tion, in complete order, and confident of success, Our wagon train: all safo in the rear of the troops, with plenty of supplies, and, except in tbe loss of men, the army is as formidable as ever, OvR Losses, It is yet impossible to estimate our losses, Our loes of general officers is particularly severe, and includes the following:—Sedgwick, Wadsworth, Hays and Webb, killed; Getty, Robinson, Baxter and Owens, wounded; avd Sbaler, Seymour and Neil, prisoners, The loss of the rebels is believed to be equally severe, though as they removed nearly all their wounded to Gordonsville, it is impessible to determine the number. Most of their dead were Jefe unburied. Our own wounded are being well cared for in Fredericksburg, and are being forwarded to Washington as rapidly as circumstances will permit. A pontoon bridge has been | Jsid across the Rappabanvock, and communication bo- | tween Boll Plain and the army is uninterrupted. The unusual number of slight wounds is attributed to the character of the country in which our men fought, maoy of the missiles that would otherwise have proved fatal, striking the trees aod glancing, imflicting slight injury. A CHANCE FOR OUR ARTILLERY. Very little of the artiliery bas been engagod up to yesterday, but tho openness of country now occupied by our forces will enable us to bring into action that formidable arm of our service. ‘The campaign thus far, while it has not proved ag decisive as was anticipated, 1s encouraging, and promises to be highly successful. The tndomi- table will of our army is not and cannot be broken, nor has its confidence been impaired in its lenders. We started forfSpottsylvanin expecting to got into position there without a fight. In this we failed, although Lee also failed in bis attempt to crush us by falling upon our flank, After @ desperate battle he has | been compelied to abindon his scheme and take up another pian. He now occupies the position we were seeking to secure, and it remains for us to fight the battle for which we originally set out. There is no doubt of the fact that Lee has received reinforcements since the fighting commenced. There are rumors that Lee is retreating towards Han- over Junction, but of this there is nothing contirmat ory. THE WASHINGTON TELEGRAMS. The First Despate Wasmivaron, May 11, 1864, Despatches from tho Army of the Potomac speik General Wright, who succeeds the late General Sedgwick, 8 an able soldier, and who will uot fail to secure the con fidence of those over whom he is placed. No movoinent of the army was intended to be made on Monday; but a brief period of rest would be given to the soldiers after their heavy labors during the past week All was very quiet along the lines until Jate in (he alver hoon on Monday. It was thonght that the rebels were” probably falling back, or that General Lee bad already gouo to Rielumond to meet General Smith, who was reported as being close to that pla our part, and our forces commenced moving mb bal past {ive o'clock on Monday evening. Th jecond Despatch. Wasnrrotom, May M1 B. M. Nothing bas been received hero of any reverse to Geveral Grant's army. The impression prevailed in tho army yesterday that General Lee was about to cross the North Anna rivor. ‘Tho entire line moved forward, the right consisting of General Birney’s and General Gibbon’s divisions of the Second corps, and General Carroll's brigade on the joining General Warren, the latter being in tho centre, with the Sixth corps (orming the left. The right crossed a branch of the river Po and charged on alight horse battery, which was posted to cover 4 small bridge, but whieb quickly limbered up and started Off, the skirmishers supporting it also retreating.

A few prisovers were captured during this skirmish. They belonged to Wilcox’s division, of General A. P, "8 corps. 18 believed, bowever, that General Longstreet’s corps ‘was the only onefin our front, and that he was left there to impede our progress as much as possible while General ‘Lee was attending to General Smith. Arobel cavairy brigade is reported as having been ceen on the morth side of the river Rapidan on Monday, near Fredericksburg. As Fredericksburg is in our possession the trains of the ‘wounded have boen sent thither to be forwarded to Belle Plain, and theoce by transports to Washington, ‘Messengers wore sent forward to stop all the boats going up the Pot: mac river, that they might load up with the wounded, The Third Despateh. Wasuineron, May 11, 1864, Gen. Robinson suffers much from his wound, which is tn the koeo, His division was in the advance on the Spottsylvania road, from Todd’s Tavern, with Geo, Phil. Sheridaa's cavalry, and had driven the rebels about six miles, car- rying two positions they had endeavored to hold. On reaching a cross road the rebels made a determined stand behind a temporary breastwork of rails and tea, and were massed in strong force, the groater part of their position boing hidden from view by dense woods. An attempt was made to carry this position; but it failed; when General Robinson rode up ia front of bis men and said “The place muse ours,” and asked the men to follow bim, Tho men replied with Joud and enthusiastic cheers, and, forming in line, rushed to the attack in the most gallant style. Aterrible fire of musketry from the rebels met them In the face, and, Geveral Robinson being wounded and searcely able to keep his seat in the saddle, the column was forced to fall back. ‘The whole affair cost us about three hundred men, and the loss of the services of one of the ablest and bravest generals in the army. The Pennsylvania Reserves were afterwards led against the same position; but they mot the same fate as General Robingon’s force, and the attempt was abandoned for the night. Colonel Locke, Assistant Adjutant General to General Warren, was seriously wounded in the face on Sunday, while riding along the line delivering orders. One of tho most repulsive spectacles presented in the late encounters was that of somo bodies found partially consumed by fire, the unfortunate men having been burned to death, These fires were started by men who had been cooking , or through some heedless carelessness, and, the leaves and busks lying around being very dry, the flames spread with great rapidity, jextonding over acres. Of ‘course the wounded left on the ground suffered the ad- ditional torture of death by fire. A number of our wounded were on Monday still on the Wilderness battle field. ° On Monday night, about eleven o’clock, the rebels in front of General Warren’s corps made an assault ona line of rifte pits hastily constructed. Our men gave them a volley and fell back for the pur- pose of drawing them on to a second line. The ruse was successful, and as the rebels advanced they were re coived by a destructive fire, which drove them back in disorder; but, finding our mon still retiring, they fol- lowed them up and charged on our third line. ‘There the whole line gave them such a raking fire as al- most to demolish thom, and, springing after them, charged and drove them back in disorder. ‘Their loss was very heavy, while ours was light. took a number of prisoners. On Sunday Goneral Burnside began the attack with great fury and an encouraging degree of success. The Fourth Despatch. Wasnixarox, May 11, 1864. It is reported that Iast night our headquarters were two miles in advance of Spottsylvania Court House. A general advance was ordered for five o'clock yester- day (Tuesday) evening, and the firing from that hour to sundown is said to have been very heavy. It Is stated that Grunt bas captured a large amount of rebel commissary stores, The Fiith Des patch. Wasurvaros, May 11, 1864. A rumor has been put tn circulation that Grant's army is falling back upon Fredericksburg. It is without founda- tion, It is based only on the fact that Grant has de- tailed a strong guard to protect the line from Fredericks- burg to his present position at Spottsylvania Court House, to protect from rebel cavalry raids the wounded being Drought to the rear and supplies being forwarded to the front. It is true that the fighting since Thursday last hos deen almost continuous, and the most terrible ever known in the annals of war. The losses aro uuprecedented, but both sidos bave lost equally, aod the universal testimony of wounded officers returned is that our soldiers have stood up to the fight as courageously as the rebels, with all their maddened desperation, One fact is patent: Grant has steadily gained ground. His unwounded men are as fresh and as full of spirit as at the beginning, his supplies are aninterrupted, aod his co-operating columns have accomplished ail that was ex pected. Intelligent officers who ieft the front yosterday state that the position of our army entirely commands Spott - sylvania Court House. A furtous assault was made upon our lines yesterday morning, aud was repulsed, the lines remaining un- moved. Preparations were then beiog made for the final attack upon Lee, with unlimited confidence in its com plete success. It is known that Lee's supplies of every description are limited, and his opportunity for reiaforcements com pletely cut off. The Sixth Despatch. Wasminctox, May 11, 1864. Drs. Gordon Buck, Hamilton H. Smith, Fionell, Sands ‘and Detmold, of Now York city, and delegations of sur. geons from Boston, Philadelphia and other cities, have gone to Fredericksburg to tako care of our wounded and relieve the army surgeons, 80 that they can attend to their duties in the field, The remains of Gen.

Gen, Kovinson, wounded in the battle of Sunday morn. ing at Spotsylvania Court House, reached here (his morning. He ts cared for at the residence of his brother , Capt. Revingon, The wound js a severe ono in the left kneo, It is thought amputation will be necessary ‘the remains of General Wadsworth have arrived, and are in charge of members of his family here.

Notwithstanding tho military movements on James river, the oxebango of prisoners is still going on. Tho exchange is now made at Aiken's Landing, ten miles below Ricbmond, The Seventh Despatch, Wastiwuton, May 11, 1864 Colonel Leftoy Store, commanding a br gade in Wads worth’s division, has arrived here, having boon injured by a fall from his horse whils laaping over a rebo! bar- ricado ‘The Colonel's brigade was in ten separate en gagements with tho enomy, and bas suffered heavily.

He was wounded in the thigh while in command of the First brigade, Sbird division, Sixth corps. Lieutenant colonel Chapman’s remains will arrive ia New York to-morrow morning, He was shot through the heart while leading his command (the Fifty-seventh New York Volunteers) during the battle in the Wilder- ess.

Sedgwick, of Now York, and several members of the Connecticut delegation in Congress and other friends. A. W. Wardley, Esq., bas generously tendered the use of a special car to take the body to New York. The Body of General Wadsworth. ‘Wasmixarox, May 11, 1864. Thore is a mistake about the arrival of General Wads- worth’s body. It is not known certainly whether he is killed. Colonel Sharp has not possession of the body. He may be wounded and a prisoner, The rebel despatches say he was killed. Arrival of the Wounded at Washington. Wasnuxaton, May 11, 1864. During the last twenty-four hours abont seven thou- sand men from the Army of the Potomac, who were wounded in the battles of Thursday and Friday, have arrived in Washington, Compiratively fow of them are suffering severely from their injuries, and many will soon be returned to the army.
