The 5th and 6th corps bad advanced by the left during the night, and were to baTe at¬ tacked the enemy at daylight; bat no soand of battie had been heard, and it was conjectured that Lee had withdrawn during the night. Our advance from the direction in which it was made, would compel him to fall backon Lynchburg. The rebel papers regret that our lorces under Oenerals Crooks and Averill had destroyed the great bridge over N»w River, on the Lynch¬ burg Railroad, and also destroyed a large ex¬ tent of track, and a great quantity of supplies. General Sheridan, with his force, reached Turkey Bend, on the James river, yesterday at 3 o'clock, and formed his junction with (Jen Butler's forces. GEN. BUTLEB'S MOVEMENT UPON RICHMOND.

Washington, May 11,10.10 a. m. ilojor General Di.r An ofllcial despatch from General Sheridan, dated at Bottom Bridge, via Fortrpss Monroe, i:.tb, states that on the oth instant, he marched around the enemy's right Hank, and, on the evening of that day, reached the North Anna river without serious opposi¬ tion. During that night he destroyed the ene¬ my's depot at Beaver Dam; three large trains of cars, numbering one hundred; two fine lo¬ comotives; one hundred thousand pounds of bacon, and other stores, amountn.<? in all to one million and a half of rebel rations; also, the telegraph and railroad track for about ten miles, embracing several culverts; recaptured thrte hundred and seventy-eight of our men, including two colonels, one major, and several other officers. On !he morning of <Trr- ations, crossing the South Anna, at Grand Squirrel Bridge, and went into camp about daylight. On the 11th he captured Ashland Station, destroyed here one locomotive and a train ol cars, engine nonse, two ot three Gov¬ ernment buildings, containing large amounts ol stoies; aiso, destroyed six miles of railroad, embracing six culvert?, two trestle bridges, and the telegraph wire. About 7 a. m. of the llth he resumed the march on Richmond. He found th* rebel Gen. Stuart with his cavalry concentrated at Yel¬ low Tavern; immediately attacked liim, and, alter an obstinate contest, gained possession ol tlifc Brock turnpike, capturing two pieces of artillery and driving his forces back towards Ashland, and across tbe north fork of the Chickaiicminy, a distance of lour miles. At the eame time a partv charged down the Brock road and captured the first line of the enemy's works around Richmond. During the night he marched the whole of his command Be¬ tween the first and second lines of the enemy 's works on the bluffs overlooking the line of the Virginia Central Railroad and the Mechanics- ville turnpike. Alter demonstrating against the works, and finding them very strong, he gave up the in¬ tention ol assaulting, and determined to recross the Chickahominy at Meadow Bridge. It had been partially destroyed by the enemy, but wns repaired in about three hours under a heavy artillery fire from a rebel battery. Gen. Menitt made the crossing, attacked the enemy and drove him off handsomely, the pursuit continuing as far as Gaines' Mills. The enemy, observing therecrossing of the Chickahominy, came out from his second line of works. A brigade of inlautry and a large number of dismounted cavalry arriving at this juncture attacked the divisions of fck-ns. Gregg and Wilson, but after a severe contest were re¬ pulsed and driven behind their works. Gregg's and Wilsons divisions, after collecting the wounded, recrossed the Chickahominy. On the alternoon of the 12th, the corps encamped at Walnut Grove and Gaines'Mills. At 9 a. m. ol the 13th (yesterday) march was resumed, an.-l encamped at Kotium Bridge. The com¬ mand is in fine spirits. The loss of horses will not exceed 1C0. All the wounded were brought off, except about thirty cases of mortal wound3, and these were well cared for in the farm houses ol the country. The wonnded will not exceed 250; total losses no' over 350. The Virginia Central vailroad bridges over the Chickahominy and other trestle bridges- one sixty feet in length, one thirty leet, one twenty feet, and the railroad for a long dis¬ tance south of the Chickahominy.were de¬ stroyed. Great praise is given the division commanders, Generals Gregg, Wilson, Mer- ritr, and Generals Custar and Davis, Colonels Greqrg, Divine, Chapman, Mcintosh, and Gibbs, brigade commanders. All the officers and men behaved splendidly. Half-part Twej.ve, A. M..A dispatch this moment received from Admiral Lee, reports to the Secretary of the Navy, that Richmond pa¬ pers of yesterday mention the death of Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, "shot in battle." This, no doubt, happened in the battle with Gen. Sheridan. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. Congratulatory Order of Gem Meade.
