X correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer
gfroa tbs annexed sketch of the late fight in Vir
ginia, beginning with the creasing below town on
Wednesday morning lest, and bringing it down
to the brilliant charge of Monday evening, when
the enemy were driven in confusion across the
river, their midnight cry being “retreat to Bank*'
lord" :
The first movement of the enemy, that is the
eroeaing below town, can hardly be said to have
been a feint. It would be perhaps more proper
to speak of it as a movement d«sgaed to co ope
rate with the main attack at Chancellors* lie. or
It 1* possible that this force was lefi in font of
Yrederiokubcrg to preveDt a rear movement on
•nr par . which, if successful, and the river once
•rowed by oar troops, at a point near towD, their
aeaess to the railway could have b <-n cut off and
their bane of supplies rendered useless to ‘hem.
To guard his rear and prateot bis base. the lore,,
Which afterwards operated offensively, w*j» at
first intended to act defensively, in all probablhty.
How it afterwards acted oa the Off jnsive. end
■■MonSsil in carrying bv storm M -rye a lie guts,
oan probably be explamed by the fact that Hook
er bad been hard pressed and whipped in the
ftwhl of Hatorday and Sunday morning u-Chan
cMlorsville, and made thia in order to create a di
version, and enable him to cover his retreat.
Obaocei orsville having been the reul point of
bottle it will be most fitting to treat of it liras.
On Thursday evening Gen. Andereo’, who was
bolding » position in front of the 0 ited States
Kina Ford, twelve mile3 above Fredericksburg,
MC ruined that the Yankees, numbering five
army corps, with at least eighty thousand men,
crossed tbe Rapid Ann at Kelly’s and Germanns
fords, having previously crossed the North Fork
of the Rappahannock at biley’a Ford, in Culpep
per county, and were advancing down the plank
reed. Geo. Anderson at once Tell back to Cban
eelloraville, and took op a line of battle in front
of thi plank road, and extending to the river,
end reaching over towards the old Catherine Fur
aaoe. Gen. Anderson, however, having too small
• feree to hold the enemy at this point, fell bacx
to a position some four miles below 0. ancellors
ville, and fronting the old mine road. On Friday
morning Gen. Anderson was reinforced on the
right by Gen. McLaws, and on the left by Gen A.
F. Hill. At thia period Gen. Jackson took com
usand, »*d ordered an udvmce, himself leading
it, and succeeded during tbe day in driving the
oadiny book, they making bat slight resistance.
On Friday night our forces rested lully two miles
beyond tne ground occupied by the Yankee forces
en tbe previous evening. The forces principally
nugaged thus far in tbit quarter, belonged to
gemma* brigade, of McLaws’ divimoD, and Ala
boae’s brigade, of Anderson’a division.
Saturday morning wore away without import
ant reaulte. There was some artillery firing and
■ little skirmishing, bat the engagement did not
beeome general until about five o clock in tbe af
iernoon, from which hour the fight raged turiona
f until about eight o’clock. Jackson, at this time
itaA thrown a force on t' eir upper fiauk, and was
driving them fiercely down upon our lower line,
Which, In tur J, was hurling them back, and ren
dering futile all their efforts to break through our
lower lines, and making it necessary for them to
give back towards tbe river.
There was an intermission in the firing from
•Ight o’clock until about nine. Hut from nine un
tU long past midnight the sound of artillery and
■sssll arms was well nigh deafening. The expla
nation waa ready. Jackson was pressing them
with a night fight. Our boys drove the Yankees,
who atoutly held their ground, until near day ;
and at early dawn of tbe holy of holies, toe tight
began on both ends of the line, and by eleven
o’otock the firing had ceased. On the upper end
of the line, near Gaancellorsville, tbe Yankees
were badly whipped, and were in fall retreat to
ward* tbe river. On tne lower line, near Fred
ericksburg, however, they had succeeded in car
rying Hsry’s Hei hts, and were rioting in the
wild excess of joy. They hnd stormed, they said,
the Gibraltar of America, and their route to
Richmond was plain and easy, little remembering
that they had burled a column of fully ten thou
sand upon one regiment in front, and thus gain
ing the rsarof the rest of Btrksdaie’s brigade.
Whilst the Yankees were felicitating themselves
•a their splendid snooesses, and imagining them
•elvts to be in the rear of our army, Gen. Lee
was so msneeuvreing as to meet the enemy, who
were now throwing themselves forward from the
town on the Blank road. About four o’clock on
Bundey evening, McLaws’ division, including
Wilcox’s brigade of Anderson’s division, met the
advanoe column of the Yankees, under Geo.
gedgwiok, at Salem Church, four mi'es beyond
Fredericksburg, on the Flank road, and our line
Os battle was formed at right angles wi’h the
Plank road. The battle here raged tor about two
honrs, bat tbe Yankees were repulsed with con
siderable losa, ineluding some five to six hundred
Brisoners. Our line on tbe Telegraph road, meau
me, had been formed at Smock’s, about three
and a half rn'lee out from town.
Early on Monday morning Lawton’s old Brig
ade, now Qen. Gordon’s supported by Gen.
Smith’* and Gen. Hayes, all of Early’s Division,
advanced towards “Marve’s Heights,' and charg
ed them without the firing or & gua, driving the
enemy from a position from which less than
twenty-four hours bsfore he bad disloged Birks
dale’e gallant Mtßßissipplans, after a mo.-t beroie
resistance, in which tbe enemy’s loss was quite
•onsiderable. In this condition matters remained
until about fire o’clock in the evening, when a
general advaaco was ordered. At the firing of a
signal gun, Generul Eany moved upon the enemy
from the right, and Gens. Anderson and McLaws
from the left. The enemy, who held a po.ition
the Plank road, extending up and down, were
aalakly dislodged and driven with great loss irom
le held. Their resistance was slight.
The charge was grand. Karly’s men, and espe
cially tbe Louisianianß, under Hayes, walked over
the enemy as g ams over pigmies, while from
above, the men of Andersou and McLaws, who
had been constantly marching and fighting for live
daye, showed no signs ot relaxation, but marched
holdly and fearlessly up to the'r appointed work.
Th* remit wag tbe enemy was driven m confusion
towards Banks Ford, across which hs succeeded
In Bn "inttr his way during the night—not, howev
er, without serious loss in killed, wounded and
prisoners. Gen. Hoke, of the North Carolina bri
gade, in Parly’s division was wound, >1 in this
charge. Whilst this was going on, Barksdale’s
■ten were holding the stone wall, Murye’s hill au i
the heights commanding the Plauk Hoad, ro ns to
prevent a movement on our rear out from Frede
ricksburg. But this was hardly necessary. Yan
kee desire for a general advance had been satis
fled, and by nightfall the Yankees had begun to
prepare for the third and lust time to evacuate
Fredericksburg —and by day break our pickets
were la the town, which is ouce again in the hands
»t Barksdale’s men.
Though the enemy at Chancelloreviile did not
recroM the river at the United States Ford until
to-day, there has been no general engagement
■lnee Hominy—only some occasional bkirnitehing
and feint* of attack to cover up their retreat
aaross the river. Hooker, thouvh having the
ahoiee of position, did not act offensively after
eroMiep, but forutied and threw himself on the
defensive, thus forcing our men to contend
against him in this fight against vastly superior
■ambers, aided bv breastworks, fortifications and
•bstrne ions of all sorts, ltut they were of little
avail ; Juokscn turned their flank and fell upou
tkstr rear. And Jackson’s boys did their work
with all thsir might and main. They charged
tester over tbs battle Held than tney marched to
it, aad their oheering as they drove the enemy
bsferathtm broke upon the air with fine, inspii
tog sfleet.and told too plainly that our men were
terribly in earnest, and were fighting fcr boms,
tor woman, manhood and independence. In such
a Muse It were worse than base not to strike
heavy blow* for freedom and the right.
Hooter expected success. He bad planned
wall ; bat Gen. Lee has proved himself more
thai a match for him, and his spbndid army now
ttea a part dead on the souti side of the Kappa
hewoek, a part wounded on ita north bank, and
Nal her*, too, aad ala- ge part of the advance is
already near yonr etty. floeker had drawn every
maa worn the fortifications, and came prepared
With eight days’ retinae—that is, eight days’ hard
took: lores days’ nocked meat and eight days’
aattto ia a herd and eight days’ ooflee. Hooker
asade his man a speech, telling them he had ad.
vantage of position and was bound to go for
ward ; all that he asked of them was to fight. He
had summoned rvety man from the fortifications,
aad had uncovered Washington, and must have
oat iato the fight, from first to last, not a man
wader ene hundred and titty thousand.
The bravery, fortitude and endurance of our
■SB in all of these engagements cannot be too
highly praiaed nr too gratefully remembered by
th* eoeatry. It would seem invidious to make
apeeial allusion* where ell fought so well, but it
is dee to candor end truth to say that the troops
es MeLawe and Anderson were oftoner engaged

tghtiug and marohing almost without iutermis

INCIDSSiTS OX TEX LAT* RAID AND EATTLS IN
VIRGINIA.
The lccation of tbe late battle field is described
by tbe Lynchburg Republican thus: Chancellor
ville is in the oounty of Spoltsylvama, about three
miles in a direct line from the Rapidan rivsi; tbe
Wilderness, the print from which Geneial Lee’s
dispatch says tbe enemy was driven, is about five
miles distant from Chancsllorsville, in a w-sterly
direction. The Court House of Spottsylvania
county is distant from the Wilderness about seven
miles, and from Fredericksburg about twelve
miles. Chancellorsville, to which the name of the
battle will doubtless be giveu, is nothing but a
tavern stand, and is ten miles west of Fredericks
burg on the plank road leadiDg from that town to
Grange Court House. The face of the country
between the Wilderness and Chancellorsville is
Blightly undulating, with a succession of woods
and fields, alfordihg excellent ground for maneu
vering an army, particularly along the road be
tween the two planes. Back of Ohanceliorsville
and towards the Rapidan there are ranges of hills
and the country is rough.
A gentleman who walked over the ground
after the battle says that so" at least ten miles
around Chanoellorsville the Yankee dead almost
literally covered the face of the earth. From a
cusual observation he estimates the enemy’s loss
as five times greater than ours.
It is stated tha‘ an entire brigade of the enemy
had been captured at Kelly’s Ford.
At Hamilton’s Crossing there are more muskets
piled on either side of the road than have ever
been seen together siuco the war. They were
left on the battle fields by the Yankees, and
many thousand more there are which have not
yet been collected.
A surgeon who left Fredericksburg on Thurs
day, states that the surgeouß in Geu. Leo’s army
make the following approximate estimate of our
loss in the recent battles: wounded 7,000, killed
900, missing I,2oo—total 0,100. This estimate is
liberal, and it is believed that our actual loss will
fall below rather than exceed that sum. The
whole number received uc Richmond since the
battles up to that time foot up 5,000.
John Atkins, the conductor of the train on the
Fredericksburg railroad, that was captured on
Sunday last by the Yankees at Ashland has been
arrested on suspicion of disloyalty and treachery,
aud intentionally running the train into the pes
s ssion of the enemy. The suspicion against
him, it is alleged, is strengthened by the fact that
he heard the signal to stop tne train, and saw trie
fire ou the track, but neglected to check the train.
Atkins was arrested in Manchester, and resisted
oonsiderab'y.
A large number of general, field and staff offi
cers captured on the Rappahannock nave arrived
in Richmond. These officers seem to be impress
ed with considerable contempt lor thß Yankee
administration, and many of tlum express a de
termination to quit the service as soon as ex
changed.
The Examiner says: The Federal offioers of the
higher rank are res;rved and evince uo desire to
speak of tbe war, or the ovei throw of Hooker.
Those of the lower grade say it ought to end the
war, but will not. Ou trio whole, they taketheir
condition philosophically, and look forward to an
exchange in a lew days. Many of thy officers are
old regular army attaches*, and nave their
“churns” in the Confederate army, whom tcey
inquire after with a Ineudly interest.
A Fredericksburg corresp; nrient of the Enqui
rer, writes, May B'.n : Tha Yankees are certainly
all across the river, aud the old picl et lines are
resumed. On the 7th there was a fl.-g of truce,
the object of it being to call Hooker's attention
to his wounded, some fifteen hundred of which
now being in our lines, accompanied by a requ est
t iat Hooker will take them aud take care of tnem.
Our losses in killed, wounded and missiug, will
almost certainly reach 8,000. A good part
these, however, are wounded but sightly, arid
will soon be fit for duty. As many as a thousand,
perhi ps, are prisoners. Tnesa wili toon he ex
changed the cartel being already largely in
our favor The number of email arms which ni l
be gathered from the field cannot bo lersti.r u
30,000, and may, perhaps, go ns high as 50,C00.
The number is, certainly, iar greater th:.u ever
before left on the battlefield. Whilst of bhiniso's,
overooats and the like, tbe quantity is far in ex
cess of anything before known. Everything about
the field of battle indicates that the r e reat, betb
above and below was nigh a rout, and that hook
er’s army is almost panic stricken, especially the
party that recrossed at Bank’s Ford. Am this
well might be so, for Mahone had v/e!l sfieiltd
that ford, and it is said to have been a second
Ball’s Bluff aflair.
The Frederioksb.irg correspondent of the Rich
mond Examiner writes : The aero-.ma which your
correspondent has obtained from tbe county ot
King George, teem with talen of plunder, vio
lence, personal outrages, and tbe arrest of i-.ei.ci
fjl citizens. Among Jthe arrested, of' wa'oh in

The siege of Suffolk, which vsas kept uo only
some three or four weeks, enabled Gen. Wong

The following Yankee officers were to bo sent
North, from Richmond, by flag of truce, on Tues
day : Two generals, six oolonete, seven lieuten
ant colonels, eight msjorf, sixty captains, and
sixty-one lieutenants.
The Petersburg Express, remarking upon the
death of Gen. Psxtou, of the Stonewall Brigade,
says it is a singular fact that every eomuiauder of
thiß brigade, except Jackson, has been successive
ly killed in battle. First, Winder, at Cedar Run,
then Starke, at Antietam, and now Paxton, at
Chauoellorsville.
On the 2d instant, one hundred Yankees who
were posted in a church at Greenland, Hardy co.,
Virginia, were surrounded by a body of our
troops under Gen. Jones, and captured. Eflcxts
were made to dislodge them, but they fought des
perately, and refused to surrender. Finding all
ordinary neacs for the dislodjment of the Yan
kees ineffectual, it wag resolved to “smoke them
out.” Gen. Jones set their retreat on fire, and
they only surrendered when the roof yi the burn
ing'fort was about to fall in. One of our meu
was killed, and several wounded, one of them
mortally.
The R chmond Euqnirer thus narrates a gallant
exploit of Major Myers. It seems that on .April
23, four reg rnents of Federal infantry, two regi
ments of cava'ry and six piscrs of artillery, came
tjStrasbarg Ya., Th'y ascertained that Maj.
Myers, with a portion of his force, was at Fisher’s
Hill, about two miles South of Strashurg. The
Vaukees comm need shcliiag onr boys, and con
t nued a most furious cannonade for some time,
but without effeot. Major Myers then sent a par
ty of some s'x or eight of his veterans within a
quarter of a mile of the enemy’s stronghold, hop
ing thus to induce them to follow. The ruse had
the desired eflect. About two regiments of cav
alry charged this little band, who playfully main
tained their ciaxance, occasionally turning and
firing upou their pursuers. Major Myers, in the
meantime, had about one hundred ’demounted
cavalry in ambush ; and when the Yankees, with
a shorn, charged up Fisher’ Hill, a most murder
ous hre was opened upon t em by the and smounted
m-n, tilling fiitcen and wound abtut fi'iy. M-j ir

The Petersburg Express suggests that we
ought to provide lor tee quick reconstruction and
repairs ot railroad bridges and trestle work that
may be destroyed by the enemy, by adopting the
Yankee plan or having duplicate frameworks aDd
timbers raady to replace suoh structures as soon
as destroyed. On the meet exposed and impor
tant lines of communication, they have every
bridge numbered, and the material for rebuilding
is instantly sent oat as soon as required. The
suggestions of the Express are excellent, and
ought to be acted on at once.
It is no disparagement to other great Generals

Lee and his army of Northern Virginia may now

stood so often and so long in such tempests of
