REPORTED FIGHT NEAR SPOTSYLVANIA COURTHOUSE

It was reported last night that there was a sharp fight on Saturday near Todd's Tavern, near Spotsylvania Court House, between Gregg's (Yankee) division and two brigades of Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry - Wickham's and Lomax's. The enemy was repulsed after a sharp fight, in which we are reported to have lost two hundred in killed, wounded and missing. No estimate is given of the enemy's loss, but it is supposed to be much larger.
