on the plank road from Fredericksburg to Orange Court-House, and extended to a point known as Wilderness Church, on the same road. The enemy had thrown up entrenchments and constructed abattis, which, after severe fighting, were carried by our troops. Early in the day their lines were broken, and in confusion their defeated forces left the field. Many prisoners were captured, some three thousand of whom have reached this point. Among them is Brig. Gen. Hays, who commanded a brigade in Gen. Couch's corps, and his aide-de-camp, Captain Echols. The prisoners brought here represent some forty different regiments, and, as usual, are mostly men of foreign birth. Among the officers whose names I have heard mentioned as killed are Gen. Paxton, of Stonewall Brigade; Colonel Walker of the 10th Va; and Colonel Mallory, of the 55th Va. The country will lament the misfortune which has befallen our army in the severe wounding of Lieut- Gen. Jackson, who lost his left arm. Gen. A. P. Hill
