our own correspondent.] Guinea Station. 3 P. M., Monday, May 4, 1863 Many reports have doubtless reached you of the fight at "Wilderness Church." yesterday, which, in many respects, was perhaps one of the bloodiest of the war. Our loss is heavy, both in officers and men; but, through the aid of a merciful Providence, victory once more perches upon the banners of the South. The battle commenced in the neighborhood of Chancellorsville, 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

some two thousand others were captured, and five batteries of field artillery. From this fact some idea may be formed of the character of the fight, and the extent of our triumph. It is stated that Gen. Lee regards it as one of the most satisfactory victories of the whole war. There is a report that Gen. Stuart had succeeded in destroying the pontoons of the enemy last night, thus cutting off their retreat. I sent you a letter yesterday, which, I presume, the capture of the train at Ashland prevented reaching you. I hope this note, hastily written, will be more fortunate. You will hear from me again to-morrow. It is believed that the fight is for the present ended, though there is tolerably heavy cannonading going on now at Fredericksburg. B.

In the afternoon Marye's Heights were carried by the enemy, and several hundred of our men, belonging to a Mississippi regiment, captured. Five or sines of their entrenchments they captured three batteries, together with about 5,000 prisoners. The struggle on Marye's Heights is also represented as being desperate.
