day last there has been no general engagement. On Saturday night the enemy withdrew from the front on our left, and moved their troops over to the Telegraph road, seizing the Massaponax, and massing a considerable force on our front. During the day yesterday Gen Anderson swung his forces around on our right, (the enemy's left,) and found the enemy "clean gone."--This required new dispositions on our part, which were accordingly made. In making this advance for the purpose of reconnaissance Gen. A.'s forces recaptured thirteen caissons and twenty-one gun carriages. These were the caissons and the gun carriages which were taken from Johnson's division on Thursday last. The enemy, it is supposed, hauled the guns away in wagons, and left the caisson and carriages for want of horses to take them off. To-day I rode over the battle-field in front of Fields's front and found a large number of dead Yankees scattered everywhere about over the field. As usual, their clothing had been

tteries. Our loss is put at about three hundred and fifty in this engagement. During this same evening Gen Anderson sent a force across the river at the Telegraph Road bridge, but this force meeting a superior force of the enemy was compelled to return this side. Our loss however, was slight. Yesterday evening Mahone, who was commanding Anderson's division assented Laidley's brigade of the enemy, who had crossed at Oxford Mills, capturing some sixty prisoners, among them an via of Gen L's. About the same time the enemy attempted to make a lodgment for his sharpshooters in front of Rodes a division, but Rodes's skirmishers quickly drove them off. To day there has been nothing done save slight skirmishing. I still incline to the opinion that Grant is too much worsted to make an immediate fight, and the fact that he is entrenching and fortifying substantiates it. As showing the extent to which the Yankee army has been cut up in the recent engagements, I give y

and during the afternoon two heavy columns of the enemy, with large trains, were observed passing down the pike towards Petersburg. It was conjectured that the trains were either carrying supplies for the moving columns, or they were being sent to Petersburg to be loaded with supplies for Lee's army or the forces in Richmond. At any rate the capture or destruction of any of the trains was an object very desirable at the present juncture of rebel affairs, and it was determined to attempt it. Gen R S Foster, Chief of Gen Gilmore's Staff, took command of the force, consisting of Onderdonk's Mounted Rifles, a battalion of the 4th Massachusetts cavalry, two regiments of negro cavalry, and a portion of the 11th Maine infantry. A night expedition. Gen Foster started with his column at about nine o'clock in the evening, and moved quietly out to our picket lines, and a few hundred yards behind, when he halted, stationed pickets on different loads to guard against a move to cut him o

the right and centre. Lieut Col Fambliss reports General Wallack severely wounded in the action at Reasca. [third Dispatch.] New Hope, May 28th, (via Marietta.) --Gen Cleburn's division engaged the 4th army corps under Howard, about 1 o'clock this morning, and, after a desperate contest, signally repulsed the enemy, with a loss of between five and seven thousand. We captured between 150 and 200 prisoners, exclusive of wounded, and immense quantities of arms and accoutrements. Gen C says the enemy's dead were piled thicker than he ever saw before. Between 500 and 1,000 dead were left close up to his front. Their line of breastworks in front of Loring's command was abandoned. Our loss will probably number four or five hundred. Skirmishing is still going on, and the enemy's left gradually giving way.

A New Order of Affairs at Memphis. --Gen C C Washburn, the new commander at Memphis, has issued the annexed order: The practical operation of commercial inter course from this city with the States in rebellion has been to help largely to feed, clothe, arm and equip our enemies. Memphis has been of more value to the Southern Confederacy since it fell into Federal hands than Nassau. To take cotton belonging to the rebel Government to Nassau, or any other foreign port, is a hazardous proceeding. To take it to Memphis and to convert it into supplies and greenbacks, and to return to the lines of the enemy, or place the proceeds to the credit of the rebel Government in Europe, without passing again into rebel lines, is safe and easy. I have undoubled evidence that large amounts of cotton have been and are being brought here to be sold, belonging to the rebel Government. The past and present system of trade has given strength to the rebel army, while it has demoralized

Interment of the remains of Gen M Jenkins. --We find the following relative to the burial of this brave young officer, in the Charleston Courier: The remains of the lamented Gen M Jenkins were interred on Sunday afternoon at Summerville, in the graveyard of the Episcopal Church at that place, alongside the resting place of his mother. The body arrived at Summerville at a quarter past three o'clock, under an escort of State Cadets from the Arsenal Academy of Columbia. The coffthe village brought in beautiful wreaths and numerous bequests of flowers and strewed them in profusion upon the coffin. The remains were followed to the grave by several members of the family, including the deceased widow, his father in law, Gen D F Jamison, and his two brothers Major J Jenkins and Dr. Jenkins. Upon the arrival of the remains at the village, and during the passing of the procession, the church bells were toiled, and every expression of grief and sympathy exhibited by

ll goes on favorably, and there are few who extrinsic any doubt of the final result. From Gen Lee's army. The following dispatch from Gen. Lee was received at the War Department yesterday. Headq'rs Army Northern Va.,June 1st, 1864, P. M. Honorable Secretary of War: There has been skirmishing along the lines to-day. Gen. Hoke and Gen. Anderson attacked the enemy in their front this forenoon, and drove them to their entrenchments. This afternoon the enemy attacked Gen, Heth, and were handsomely reprised by Cook's and Kirkland's brigades, Generals Breckinridge and Mahone drove the enemy from their front, taking, about one hundred and fifty prisoners. A force of infantry is reported to have arrived at Tunstall's Station from the White House, and to be extending up the York River Railroad. They state that they belong to Butter's forces. Respectfully, B. E. Lee, Gen. The skirmishing along the lines is represented to have been very heavy, par

r date of the 15th instant, gives the following interesting items from Florida: There cannot be many Yankee troops now in Jacksonville. We captured in a skirmish last week seven of their cavalry, or rather mounted infantry, they having dismounted their cavalry there and sent the men to Virginia. The reason assigned by the prisoners was that the old cavalry deserted too often. It is evident that the coast has been stripped of all the veteran force to reinforce Grant in Virginia. Gen P Anderson, who commands the district of Florida, has his army well in hand, and is most right. In the matter of details and furloughs, and means to have all the strength of his command on the spot. The news from the East is that the enemy have landed a cavalry force near camps, and also a force below at Augustine. Their object is to gather up the cattle, deserters, and traitors, and if not soon driven back will prove a damage to us.--A force now gathering will no doubt make their trip
