Heavy Civil War Battle Rages as Rebels Retreat
Across New York and Washington reports describe a major engagement with heavy fighting near Spotsylvania Court House. Union forces under Hancock Warren and Burnside push the Confederate army toward Richmond, with Grave losses on both sides, Lee in retreat and Grant pursuing toward the James River. Prisoners, wounded, and strategic positions shift as Butler and Thomas advance on multiple fronts.
