A special to tbe Tribüne, d,te.l Uuiou Mills. Va. AIny 6, at 9 P. M., eay: The grainl Army of the Potomac croseJ the Kapid.in on Weilnesday. The 21 crps moved on TuertJiiT to the mill opposite Elv'i Ford. On Wednesday morriinj: at 4 o'clock the cavalry cro-sed and drove the rebel pickets lrom opposite the height!, without of poitioD. A .-osition whs gninel und tbecorp- moved on at 7 o'clock, taking the road to Chdiicellorville, Mt which place Hancock would establish t'u heidquartcrs. The 5th nud Cth corps crowed t Germania Ford in the course of the day, taking the road to the Wilderness. Uu Wednesday n'ght Gen. Warren's headquar ters were at the Wilderne.!?, with Sedgwick on his right, and the sencrnl headquarters at Germania Ford. On Thursday morning the rebels pressed our pickets, and appeared to be in strong lorceonour right. The 5th New York cavalry had a skirnmh on the Orange Court House road, near Perkins Tavern, ami were driven with severe loss, leaving many wounded on the field. Urolith'? division was charged forward on our riht about 1 o'clock, to feel the enemy's position, and w met by rebel Uen. A. F. Hill, supported by Gen. Ewtll. An action took place iu which we captured about 3UU prisoner, though it is reported that we lost two guns. In the meanlime Hancock marched his corps to the right in order to connect with Warren, and had hardly ot into position, his right renting on or near Chancellorville, when he was attacked by Longstreet with his whole corps and part of Ewill's. Hancock, with the assistance of Getty's division, of the 6th corps, was under musket tre for two hours and a h ilt, in which his command suffered severely, but inflicting serious injury upon the iebels. Other developments showed that Lee had his whole force in our front. This knowledge of their position was of course highly important, and was thus obtained only by the greater .kill in handling our troops. It not being the purpose of Gen. ileade to advance on the enemy, he ordered the line of battle to be held till morning. The position of our troop on Thursday night was parallel with, and little in advance of the road lrom Germania Ford to Chancellorville, the two fl inks resting on those points, and general heulquarleis in the Wilderness. In the afternoon the advance of the 9th corps crossed it Germania Ford, taking a position on our right flank. Hurii-ide's re:tr arrived this morning. It wis undetstood that a general attack was to be made this morning, and heavy firing hid commenced when I left, at 5 o'clock. Heavy cannonading whs heard when 1 passed Kellv a Fold, about i) o'clock, which leads me to believe tlut we had drawn them to their defenses, as no henry gun? could be brought into action in the Jormer position. There ou:ht to be no douM that there has been a grfind victory, as Meide fhowed his strength hy a stubborn "'1 gallant defence without using hüll' the force he ha undoubtedly brought into action to day. The troops are in the highest state of enthusiasm. The Times' Wa-hinton special savs: Reliable ii.telligence from the Shenandoah Valley represents it to be entirely cler of rebel t'oops. Transports are -landing at Alexandria for Uibanu, on the Rappahannock, our future base tor supplies. The Orange and Alexandria railroad is abandoned above Union Mills Station, and all government property brought to Alexandria. Tl e Herald has a letter stating that the rebel authorities were the machinerv of the to some point farther Tredegar Iron Works South A Newport letter reports the iron el ads Atlan tic. Roanoke and Tecumeh moved up the James river some days ago. The Herald aUo reports th.it a heavy column under Sigel moved up the Shenandoah Valley from Martinsburj;.

From Walilnffton. Wasuixuton, May 7. A recently passed law makes provision for the permanent settlement of the Indians of Utah in the Unitah Valley. It appropriates $3U,0U0 for agricultural improvement, to enable it to become self sustaining. The President has to day appointed Urigadier General Edward R S. Canny Major General of Volunteers, and ordered him to the command of all the troops west of the Mississippi river. No iulormatiou has been received here in relation to the reported capture of Decatur, Alabama, by the rebel Forrest and the massacre of the garrison. It ia believed to be canard. The Republican has the following: The Government has information this morning, whether from official sources or other we are unable to learn positively at the moment of going to press, that on Wednesday at daylight General Grant' whole army was eutircly across the Rapidan. It marched to a plain a little beyond and near the old Chancellorsville battleground, when Lee was forced out of his work9 and offered battle, which was at once accepted. The fiht became fierce and lasted until dark, when the enemy being forced back hoint distance with reat la?s, leaving most of his killed and wounded in our hands. The two armies Uy on their arms all night Weduesday, aud at daylight on Thursday the battle opened again and lago"1 with the greatest fury on both sides until dark, when it was found that the enemy had been forced back in the two days about two miles and a half, leaving heaps of dying, killed and wounded on the field to be buried and takeu care of by our troops. We have heard various estimates made ol the number slaughtered, but at this moment it is useless to speculate ou the subject. Every one knows that it must have been terrible. On Friday morning at 5 o'clock the forces were marshalling for another conflict. General Bumide's corps, numbering 30.000 men, had taken no part iu the battle, but at 5.30 was marching into position to engage in the bloody contest of the three days battle. Of tbe result of this day' battle we have no report up to the moment of going to presn. The battle commenced at 6 o'clock in the morning. Unless Lee received re inforcements equal to l.un. side's corps, the batt'.e of Friday must have proved terribly disastrous to hirn. The fact that we have received no newsof yesterday's figtinj; leads to the belief that Lee is endeavoring to get away to Richmond. It is evident that the rebel forces about Richmond cannot be spared to reinforce Lee, as they have discovered ere this that they have enough to attend to there, probably from two attacks upon the city by Gen. Butler's forces. Up to five o'clock this afternoon the Government had received no information of more decisive results than was furnished by the Tribune dispatch, published this morning. Therefore the report. of a creat victory achieved by General Grant on Wednesday and Thursday, and the pursuing of the enemy on Friday and Saturday are, to say the least, not reliable. Major Generals French and Kevs have been mu:tered out of volunteer service by order of the President. As the down train from Brandy Station was on the way down this morning, when about three miles this side of Bull Run, it was fired into by guerrillas concealed ia the woods. A volley was returned by the guard on the traiu. The city has been inten-ely excited all day with the news from the Army of the Potomac. The early publicafion seeming to excite the public euriosity concerning military events. The thoughtful came to the conclusion that a single encounter would not determine the contest, and a series of battles may have to be fought before there will benny decisive re?u!t. It was telegraphed Lence or the Independent Telegraph Line, but refused by the other lines, doubtless for prudential reaons very probably that a creat victory was achieved bv General Grant on Wednesday and Thursday, he driving the rebels two and a half miles with immense loss, and that he was following the movement by aa assault on the rebel works. The Star in noticing a similar statement of an afternoon contemporary, remarks, we should be very glad to be able to cooarm this news, but have to say, after diligent inquiry, we are satis fied that tbe Government has received no auch information, or any information of more decisive results than furni.hed by the Tribuue dispatch elsewhere. The fact that General Metdewas able to starjd the brunt ot the Confederate onset with a por tion of his command, is considered a hopeful indication, and we hope soon to be able to announce a decisive victory. Tbe above contradiction of the statement is be'ieved to be base! on reliable information. The statements which were received here todav, which are entitled to belief are, that General Lee made a tremendous and violent attack on Pierce, hoping thereby to drive our forces, and to secure a victory, but General Hitchcock's corp came to the relief, and under a murderous fire lormed in line of battle and thwarted the iie-iirr. of the rebels. The loss was heavy on both fides. General Sheridan was profitably engaged in another part of the field, and left the chief in commmd a message that he bad routed Stuart's cava'ry. The attack of Lee was on our advance who, doubtless, anticipated a victory by bis onslaught, before the Qi body could advance to the field of battle. The appearances on Thursday were that hostilities were renewed on Friday. There was a large attendance of ladies and gentlemen at peaker Colfax' residence, on the occasion of tbe presentation to hi a by hii Indiana friends, of a costly piece of silver. The Senate couhrtned Delar.o T. Saoith and E. P. Tury to be Tai Comraiaioners for tbe State of Tennessee; Charles K. Wells to be Potmaater at Milwaukee; M. Crawford to be Commiioner of Internal Revenue for tb Dütrict of

Oregon, and Abraham Bennett, of Kansas, to be Acent lor the Indians at Kickapoo Agency. The excitement in this city to-night to learn further particulars of the great fiht between the armies of Generals Grant and Lee is of the most intense description. All aorta of rumors prevail up to this hour. It is stated that th Government baa received do official information in regard to tbe great battle. General Grant haa cut off communications between his lines and Washington; and no one can pas his lines except bis own special couriers. Our loss in killed and wounded is said to have been about 4,000, including manv officers of distiDction. It is said to-night that General Hayes was killed in the fight on Thursday, and that several other generala were wrowjded.

Front Frtrea yionroe. Fortress Moor, May 7. Port Royal papers of the 5th state that Florida, Georgia and South Carolina are nearly depleted of troops, who have been sent to Lee's army. Admiral Dahlgrcn had just arrived at Hilton Head. A torpedo was discovered in the St. John's river oa tbe 3d inst., with a dead negro attached to it. A creat female riot occurred in Savannah on the 17th ult. The women collected in a body, with arms, and marched through tbe principal streets in procession, demanding"bread or blood." They seized fool wherever it couid be found. The soldiers were called out, and after a brief conflict the ringleaders were put in jail. The rebels were making demonstrations at Charleston, but had been abelled out by our gunboats. Fohtrfss Moxeoe, May C On Tuesday night about balf of the large fleet of transports that have been hing iu the Roads for ome time were ordered to Yorktown, and commenced embarking troops. On Wednesday the rest of the fleet went up. took on board the remaining troops, and came back. The whole fleet then proceeded up James River, passing her last night. The movement was conducted with the greatest gecresy and quietness. The fleet advanced up the James River, preceded by the army gunboats under command of Gen. Graham. During the day and last night a very successful landing was effected, and no resistance had been met with up to 4 o'clock this morning. Xo casualty ha3 occurred. Our movement was evidently a complete surprise to the rebels. At last advices our forces were being rapidly landed and pushed forward. We have landed at W ilson's Wharf, Fort Powhattan and Bermuda, one hundred miles above the Appomatox rirer. Our monitors and gunboats are all over the bar at Harrison's Landing and above City Point. The operations of the fleet have been characterized by great energy and success. From etv York. Nkw- York. May 7. A special dispatch received by the Post, dated Washington, 7th, nay: The story of the second defeat of Ranks is not credited here. 1 1 is said that a count of the House shows that Mr. Loan, of Missouri, will be declared entitled to his seat. Reports from Dalton, Georgia, state that only 35,000 rebels are there, and that Johnston is reinforcing Lee. The Commercial's special says: The Ordnance Department has contracted for 70,0t'0 sets of infantry accoutrements. These nre to be delivered in New York at $5 and in St. Louis at $5 50 per set. Since permis.-ioti was given to regular soldiers who re-cniist to select any State to which they may choose to be credited as a part of its quota, and to receive its bounty, large numbers have been secured here by agent from New England towns and cities.
