The Daily Dispatch: May 2, 1863., [Electronic resource], From Fredericksburg. (search)
er.--Four in the 6th Louisiana were said to be killed, and fourteen taken prisoners. We took some prisoners — how many I could not ascertain. Up to 1 P M yesterday Fredericksburg had not been fired or occupied. I still believe the bulk of the Yankee army has gone from opposite Fredericksburg, and this crossing was made as a feint, and under the belief that a very small portion of our army was left here. 10. A. M.--Our wagons have retired, and troops gone up toward United States Ford, where the enemy crossed yesterday. At 3 P. M. Gen. Mahone drove them back, lost one company, (which was out off on picket somehow,) and fell back to his old position. The enemy came upon him, not knowing he had breastworks. He pursued them after repulsing them. Gen. Wilcox holds Banks's Ford. I could not ascertain the number of Mahone's killed and wounded. The fight occurred at Chancellorsville, about four miles from Ely's Ford. The Yankee's were reported to be at Spotsylvania C.

d Germans. These points are on the Rapidan, a few miles above its junction with the north fork of the Rappahannock. The advices received by the train last evening represent that the advance of the enemy had reached a point within two miles of Spotsylvania Court House at noon yesterday--In view of this change in the movements of the enemy, it is probable that our whole front will be changed, and, instead of the general conflict taking place in front of Fredericksburg, or on the same ground of the battle of the 13th of December, it will doubtless be fought in the vicinity of the Court-House, or near the centra of the county. A heavy artillery duel was fought on Thursday afternoon, near the mouth of Deep Run, but without any decisive result on either side. Another report states that the enemy has also crossed a considerable body of troops at United States Ford, six miles above Fredericksburg, and that a collision was expected to occur in the neighborhood of Chancellorsville.
