situation may be understood from the fact that on Saturday night Grant attempted to get back over the river by way of Ely's ford, but was so closely pressed by Gen. Gordon, that, seeing he would have to lose all his artillery, he changed his plan and started for Fredericksburg. He had to march twenty-five miles, and Gen. Lee, at k-road, and is about 25 miles east of this place. The battle is not yet ended. Weather hot and sultry. [Second Disptch.] Orange C. H., May 7. --Gordon's Georgia brigade and Johnston's N.

0, of whom a large proportion are slightly wounded.--The proportion of officers to privates killed and wounded is very much larger than in any previous fight. The Yankee Gen. Hayes is reported killed, and a dead Yankee General, with the initials "H. H. C.," supposed to be Conch or Casey, was found in Ewell's front. The fight occurred in a desolate wooded country. Little or no artillery was brought into action. At one time yesterday, when the enemy were heavily pressing Hill's men, Gen. Kershaw opportunely, by double-quicking with his troops, arrived on the field, checked, repulsed and pursued the enemy, thus turning the fortunes of the day at that end of the line. The battle field extends over a space of eight miles in length. Rosser's cavalry fought the enemy all day, on our extreme right, losing heavily and gaining nothing important. Ewell captured two pieces of artillery in the fight of Thursday and 1,200 prisoners. The wounded are arriving here and receiving every at

s all that is really known relative to the contest. The situation may be understood from the fact that on Saturday night Grant attempted to get back over the river by way of Ely's ford, but was so closely pressed by Gen. Gordon, that, seeing he wou 9 o'clock yesterday morning, had his advance at Spotsylvania Court house, only twelve miles from Fredericksburg. Should Grant arrive without being interrupted, he will make that town his base unless driven from it, and will draw his supplies from Yesterday they went back to Brandy Station, set fire to the stores (principally quartermaster's) and then marched to join Grant. Scouts say that the enemy have abandoned the line of the Orange railway, and no cars are running on it. It is supposed that Grant now intends to make Fredericksburg his base. Ewell holds the road leading to Germanna, Ford, but the enemy still have two fords by which to recross the river to Culpeper if they wish. Stuart was yesterday engaged with the en

very well. All is quiet this (Saturday) morning, but we are not idle. Sallust. [by Telegraph.] Orange C. H., May 7. --Your correspondent left the front at 4 A. M., bringing the following, reliable information: Gen. Ewell again repulsed the enemy yesterday, who advanced on his front with five lines of battle. The Yankee loss is terrible, especially on Early's front. Ewell's loss is very small. About 12 o'clock yesterday the enemy having previously attacked Heth and Wilcox and driven them back, Longstreet planned and was in the act of executing a flank movement on the enemy's left wing, when, by the mistake of our men, he was fired upon. Lieut. Gen. Longstreet and staff were severely, though not mortally, wounded Gen. Longstreet in the shoulder, so say the surgeons with whom the Press correspondent conversed, and who examined his wound, and instantly killing Brig. Gen. Jenkins, of South Carolina. Our troops continued to press the enemy until about 4 o'clock,

oad known as the Port Walthall Junction, five miles from Petersburg and two miles from Swift Creek bridge. At five o'clock two brigades of the enemy, which moved out from Bermuda Hundreds some time during Thursday night, and were slowly and cautiously advancing during the day yesterday, attempted to cross the field of Mrs. Howlett's farm, immediately at the Junction, but were met with a deadly fire from six hundred of the 21st and 25th South Carolina Volunteers, commanded by Col. Graham, of Hagood's brigade. Three times the enemy essayed to reach the railroad, coming with a yell, but our men, unawed by such music and unintimidated by such apparent ferocity, met them with a steady fire, causing them to recoil and stagger from the bloody reception. They finally retreated in some confusion, and retired about a mile and a half distant, in the direction of Port Walthall landing. The disparity of numbers was too great for us to pursue. The enemy had artillery, but used it with poor
