Five o'clock was the time agreed upon, and each of the corps com manders set his chronometer by that of General Grant, 0 that no mistake should take place, and that all should de in readiness at the precise moment. Minutes are of value when a combined operation 1s to be made, and this precaution was a judicious as well a8 a necessary one. As soon as the troops were in revdivess goneral orders: were read to them, detailing tho brilliant operations of General Sherman to the West, and General Butler soath of Richmond, This news fired the ardor of the troops, and each man seemed to be determined not to be ontdone by those belonging to the other commands. A wild en- thosiacm was apparent in thelr eyes, and for a moment: the mev appeared to be ungovernable, But the word of command restored order and silence, Genera) Grant, surrounded by his staff, took up a Prominent and elevated position, and the corps command- ers algo occupied eminences within view of the General- t-Chief and of each other. They were thus enabled to ‘watch the movements of the vast columns of the mighty army as they advanced tw their relative positions whence they wore to make the attack. Tho hour came, and just as the signal was abont to be givoo the enemy were discovered upon our right flank, This had tne effect of delaying the attack, as preparations bad to be made to resist this onslaught. But General Grant was equal to the émergency. Troops were speeiily hurried to the support of the right; bat Generai Barlow had already checked the rebel advance, and, sending the weloforcements back to their former positons, he stated that he had enough mea for the work before him and some to spare. THR REBELS REPULSED. ‘The hour for the assault was then fixed st half-past six, and once more the timepieces were compared. The generals separated, to take up their assigned positions and to direct their troops to victory. The signal guns boomed aloud, and twelve reports declared that the moment had arrived forthe attack. A wild cheer rang along the wholo line, and the mass advanced with a steady front—column after column, line after line, the whole moving together, In the face of m murderous fire onr troops pushed on determinedly, each corps fighting its ‘own battle, until the army was master of the field. Two thousand prisoners were taken, and when night cloved ‘the contest the Union forces were the conquerors. It is impossible at this moment to give any account of our lorses. They have been heavy, and #0 have those of theenemy, But we are victorious. General Grant is io exeellent health and spirits, and has not since the move- ment began been in the least degree disheartened or dis- couraged. He {regards a final success aa certain, and a decisive victory not far distant. tional Particulars of the Fight on Tuesaday. ‘Wasnimatoy, May 12, 1884, Derpatches from the Army of the Potomac, dated “Wilderness” battle field yesterday, say:—Probubly the most desperate fighting of the past seven terrible days took place on Tuesday. Relieving the enemy to have sent a greater part of. hin troops to Richmond, ‘an advance along the entire line was determined on at an early honr, The Second corpa, having theright of the line, had crossed the Po river the evening previous, and had met with bat slight opposition, In the morning the position of the enemy was found to be in the shape of a horseshos, and on Hino ck’s troaps advancing to atsuck them they were cowpelled to fait back. Ab attempt to break their centre was then ordored, and part of Hancock’s mea were sent to support Warren in the movement. Our right was aleo advanced, and the inove was begun in the afternoon. The enemy were driven into thelr intrenchments in gal- lant style, and Upton’s brigade, of Wright's division, Sixth corps, got into the enemy’s rifle pits, capturing twelve guns and about one thousand prisoners. Not being supported by other portions of the line, who ‘were unable to gain the tier of works in their front, this Drigade was forced to evacnate its advanced position, leaving the captured guns, after spiking them, but bring- ing off all the prisoners. ‘The enemy suttered heavy losees duringtthe fight, our shells falling into their works, and our infantry deliver dog thoir fire with remarkable precision. General Rice was wounded in the thigh early im the en- gagement, and died after bis log was amputated. General Stevenson is also reported killed. He com- Acd General Gibvon’s division bave lost altogether over a thousand men. General Robdinson’s division, after loving both its gene. ral officers and about two thongand five bunared men, bad no general to command it, and it has been brokes up and distributed among other divisions of the Fifth corns. No division of the army fought better than this one Tho Ninth New York State Militia fought gloriously, and suffered probably more than any other rogiment fo the field. After the action four officers and fifteen men were all that was left of it, except afew on detached duty. Lientenant Luper, of the Ninetieth Pennsylvania, baa his head taxea off by 8 piece of spell. About six o'clock in the evening a report was brought fn to General Meade’s headquarters that a flank move- ment was being made on our right, and, the headquarters being fn that direction, they packed up avd moved towards the centre in rather a hasty manner. ‘The report turued ont to be false, and the officer who made ft is said to Rave been censured. This day's battle was expeated tobe decisive of the contert, The fring, the correspondent adds, bos already com- menced. The rebels are in very strong position, behind earth- works, abattis and woods, and in many places it is almost impossible to penetrate to them. Burnside ts reported to be within a mile of Spotsylvania Court House, about to turn the rebel right. If be ie euceessful we shall obtain possession of the point for which the struggle has been going on during the past three daye, and then Lee must retreat, At one o’clock om Tuesday a fire raged bot ween the two armies at & point in the line, and a large number of ‘weunded of both parties were lying on the spot.

Our position is the same as at the cloro of yesterday's Dattle. Phere has been active skirmiabing-nearly all day, but no general engagement. Our batteriea at interval have shetied the enemy to prevent his throwing ap earth- works, which he attempted to do. ‘Tho story reached us that the enemy was going to make & general attack thie afternoon ich would be bis Onal one, and failing to break or turn our lines, that be would tive up fighting oar army hore and burry to the rescue of Richmond, The attack, ifany was contemplated, Nas not been mado.

Finanguarrers, Fret ARMY Corrs, 1s Tam Fiep, May 12—7 A. M. Major General Hancock made a brilliant captute at four O'clock this evening. An entiro rebel division, including Major General Ned. Johnson, commanding; Brigadier Goneral George Stuart, and Brigadier General Robert Jonngon, commanding brigades; between two and threo thousand prisoners, and two batteries of six pieces each fell into our hands. Taking advantage of the storm and darkness Inst even. ing, General Hancock monaged to change the port tion of his troops unobserved by the enemy, and while the darkness and fog still prevailed pounced on them + morning Jika a wolf on the fold. He took his captives completely by surprise, and, having sent bis prisoners reeurcly to the rear, turned their own gags on the enemy in the vicinity. AsIwrito this and other batteries are sending shells among tho enemy at arapid-and destructive rate. The skirmishers are also pretty heavily engaged, aud there fs every indication of another severe battle. Tho nows of General Hancock’s capture has inspired our forces with renewed enthusiasm, As the news first gpread—nd such good news always spreads rajidiy—the woods where our infantry columns lie rang with deafen- ing and prolonged shonts of rejoicing. The following from General Meade was issued last evening and was read to the troops. Its effect can be ima- gined :.

Everything looxs most promising for further enccesees, Genera) Grant has got the entire army in just the postion he wishes it, and with what ts doing in front, and on the enemy's rear and flanks, it cannot take much longer to Dring these series of battles to a final and victorious close. THE WASHINGTON TELEGRAMS. The First Despatch. Wasmnctox, May 12, 1864. Tt was General Fill’s corps that General Burnside re- Puleed so gallontiy. General Eurnsice’s colored troops were held in reserve, but were subsequently brought into action, and fought with desperation. ‘Their officers expected to have considerable diMoulty in restraining them, as they appeared to be desirous not to'take any prisoners, boing exasperated by the remem brance of Fort Pillow and the atrocities committed there by the rebels on their race, It was believed in the army that Sigel, having made forced marches , had destroyed Lee’s railroad connections with Lyochburg, and that Sheridan had done the same to hig communications with Richmond. An order was given for another advance yesterday bt o'clock A. M., when onr informant left, our centre end right were heavily engaged with the rebels, ‘The Ninth corps wes ther on the march.

Yesterday enorning the fighting was again renewed, aed was conéinned with various success until about eleven o'clock, {nen our line was somewhat advanced. 4 that boura flag of truce is reported to have been nent by Lee, who asked for, a cersation of hostilities for forty-oight hours, that helmight bury bie “end. Geveral Grant replied that he had not time to bury his own Gerd and would advance immediately, and some parte ef our line were therefore pushed forward. It ts atated that the woods were shelled, but no re- fponse was elicited from where the enemy's centre had been a fow hours before, The prisoners captured on Tiweeday and Wednesday mumber over four thousand, The rebel dead aad wounded were found covering almost every foot of ground wherever our troops surged forward and the rebels gave way. Tt is confirmed that In an order iseved on Monday— found on eome prisoners—that Goners!

Up to this writing we bave received no con\ \rmation of the rumor ip regard to General Lee above nvwntioned, but the fact that such «@ report was irrent io Fredericksburg yesterday shows the buoyan:t feeling there in regard to our position, based upos e knowledge of general fects of a hepefu! nature.
