SrorrTsyLvanta, May 13-—a. m. Tion. EB. M. Stanton, Secretary of War. Lee abandoned his position during thenight, whether to occupy a uew one in the vicinity, or to make a thorongh retreat is not determined, @ne division of Wright's, and one division of Hancock's, are engaged in settling this qnes. tion, and at 7 30 a.m. had come upon their rear guard. Though our arny is greatly fatigued from the enormous efforts of yesterday, th+ news of Lee's departure inspires the men with treshenergy. The whole force will soon ba tn motion, bat the heavy rain of the faust thirty- six hours renders the road very difficuls for wagous and artiliery.. The proportion of severely wounded is greater than in either ot the previous days’ fizhting. This was owing to the great use made of artillery. G. A.

Washburne, of Illinois: Mr. Washburne, in presenting the dispatehy Sai “Ifunanimots consent he given by the gens tieman trom Ohio, (Mr. Ashiey,) I will state io the House the importance of the official dis- Pateo irom Mr. Dana, Assistant Secretary of y Itis dated ay Gen.

Gen, Johnson's division and part of Gen. Early's, und capturing the rebel Brig.Gen. Johnson and Gen. Stewart, together with 42 guns. Burn- side on the left opened at the same time, and advanced with but littie opposition, and torced a junction with Hancock, ‘Wrieht attacked at7.15,and was at work while Warren was demonstrating in front to hold the enemy, who was strong in his front. The precise number of prisoners was not known, butthey can be counted by thonsands.” [Correspondence Associated Press.} ERALQUARTERS IN THE FIELD, May 13—7 a, w.—Yesterday, as I informea you by message, ‘was ope of the hardest day's fighting we have yet bad—the most severe being in the forencon. [fhe night previous General Hancock moved part of bis corps to the left of the 6th corps, where the enemy had a strong position, and the guns from which annoyed our batteries much, and which it was determined to take if possible. At daylight the charge was made, and although cur men were met with the most destractive fire, yet they gained the first line of woris before the rebels could get ont and run. The consequence was that over 3,U(#) prisoners were taken, 3,150 men, and 241 officers, among them Major General E. Johnson, General G. H. Stuart, brother of President Stuart, of the San- itary Commission, besides, as is reported, ferty- two guns, (only sixteen of which I saw, how- ever.) with caissons, etc., some of which were manufactured in New York. The rebels made the most strennous exertions nearly all day t> regain the position, but failed, each time they emia iTging toward it being received with Such volites a5 sent them back in disorder. Kornsice’s men were not so fortunate in their attempt to gain the line of works tn taeir front, the 2d and 3d divisions being badly cut up while making the effort. Tne loss yesterday was yery heayy, the rebels’ being more than ours The total nnm- ber of prisoners in our hands now numbers over 7,500 since the opening of the campaign. Thie morning the enemy seem to have talien back, and some believe they are in fuli retreat. Onur troops are being pushed forward, aud we shali soon learn the facts. A dispatch was received yesterday from Gen Sheridan, announcing the destruction of ten mules of road, besides bridges at Beaver Dam, the captmre ot three trains and two lo- comotives, and the recaptureof 500 of ourown men. He said he had lialf a day’s forage left, but was going to get more near Richmond. This news being spread through the army created grent rejoicing. Among the wounded yesterday were Lieut. Col, Rogers, 1ith Pennsylvania; Gen. Birney, slight, Gen. Webb, slight: Capt. Keyser, 1th reguiars: Capt. Kelty, 69th New York. Gen. Schniver has }een appointed Governor of Fredericksburg, and bas gone thither to enier upon his duties. THURSDAY'S GREAT FIGHT. [Correspondence of the New York World.} Tie sry of the Potomac openeditsceventh consecutive day of battle this morning with brilliant’ success. Advices to-night (fhursday) direct from the front state that General Hancock's corps on the centre, just west of Spottsylyanie Court House, moved at an early honr on A. P. Hill's old corps, and after a severe skirmish drove Heath's division and part of Wilcox’s, c aptur- ing two thousand prisoners, one Major and two Brigidier Generals, and fifty field and line officers. Rumor bas placed the number much higher, but they ere believed to be the facts as noar as conld be obtained hastily from the frout and transmitted to Fredericksburg. Atnine o'clock a.m. no other fighting had Occurred, ani it was hard to say whether a general battle ensued or not. The belief is that another one was fought to- day. Intelligence of yesterday’s situation is at hand... Heavy artillery fring and skirmushing were kept up. Bornside and Hancock maintained the posi- tion which they occupied at the close of the battleon Tuesday. it was thought theta gen- eral engagement could not be prolonged beyond to-day, but itis impossible to tell if one was fought. Those who reach here from the front are confident that one corps of Lee’s army 18 across the Po river, and that he will not risk another engagement on this side. in the general advance on Tuesday the 6th corps captured 1,060 prisoners of Dole’s brigade, of Rhodes’ division, of Ewell’s corps, with 27 officers and several stands of colors, instead of three brigades, as published. Itis believed tnat the enemy’s loss on Tues- day far exceeds that of our army, as itisknown that the casualties in Gen, Heath’s rebel bricade ‘wereenormous. A prisoner stated that nothing had ever been seen like ft. Therebel dead were piled up in heaps on the ground, Sheridan bad cut both railroads leading to Richmond at Saxton’s Junction, twenty miles from the rebel capital. He has thus effectually destroyed the road. FRQM GEN’L BUTLER'S OOMMAND.

Fortrxss Mongos, May 12-2 p. m.—The steamer. Hero, with two hundred sick and wounded, has just armved from Bermuda Hundred, from which the following news is derived : There was no fighting yesterday. Our forces fell back towards the James river come three miles, and were engaged during the day in throwing up entrenchments. Gen ler intends entrenching from the Appomattox to the James, a distance of some six miles. Peourseard was reinforced during Tuesday night with two brigades from Lee’s army, as near as can be ascertained. The James river was obstructed = afternoon by our forces near Turkey Bend sinking anumber of schooners and barges. This ¢) chnatly Binrences the rebel iron-clads. Our whole force moved at 4 a. m. to-day, Probably are engaging the enemy at this time. 1t would be well to give publicity to the fact that no citizen is permitted to come into this department without a special pass from the Secretary ot War. One hundred and seventy rebel prisoners, including three officers, were brought here last t, taken in the recent engagements near Petersburg. They will be forwarded to Point Lookout to-night. Brg. Gen. Geo. J. Stannard and -G. W. Hooker, A. D. C., arrived here and left for the front yesterday. It is expected Gen. Stan- nara will commanda division under Maj.Gen. Smith. LATER.
