The Evacuation of Yorktown.---In-
terestiug Particulars.
Everything connected with this clas
sic ground is now of peculiar interest.
The following items relative to its
evacuation by the rebels and occupa
tion by our troops, are very graphic.
Who would not rejoice to have been
present to see our gallant (icncral un
covering his head and calling for three
cheers whilst the "boys" were raising
aloft the " old flag " to the breeze, in
the place of the filthy tiecesh rag which
had been traitorously flaunted_on such
sacred ground—upon soil almost made
sacred by the scenes of the Revolution,
when Washington and our French
allies hoisted the glorious banner upon
the same heights.
A CAUTIOUS RECONNOISSANCI
A few hours previous to this time
our telegraph had been carried so far
to the front as the old grist mill, which
has been used as the headquarters of
the generals of the trenches. General
Jameson immediately telegraphed to
pen. Pits John Porter, director of the
siege, the intelligence which these de
serters brought regarding the evacua-
Lion. He soon received a reply in
strneting him to push forward a small
Ibrce to procure authoritative informa-
Ition as to the truth of their assertion.
'e took detachments fin the 62d
Penna. Regiment, under Col. Black,
Ac 22d Massachusetts, under Col. Gone,
'With a support of two companies of
-the First Massachusetts, under Lieut.
Col. Welles, and advanced along the
bOrder of the woods, on the command
ing bluff which overlooks the river.—
In the Morning our outposts and sen
tinels on the works we wore construct
ing, were Astonished when they missed
the .accustomed rel!el watchmen from
the walls. Our men in the trenches
evinced, if possible, as much curiosity
as those who were advancing towards
the enemy's fortifications. Thousands
of heads appeared above the top of
our parallel, and every one manifested
the deepest interest in the scenes
which were transpiring. It was only
by a stern command that the general
kept the men from rushing headlong.
heedless of all lurking danger, into the
entrenchments.
TnE NI TRIPES
Very soon the detachments reached
the ditch in front, and began to mount
the parapets. Gen. Jameson and Col.
Black mounted first. They were close
ly followed by Col. Govc, Lieut. Craw
ford and Captain Hassler, of the Gen
eral's stall'. The General jumped in
side the work, which was seen to be
deserted, and presently - it was swarm
ing with soldiers. The glorious em
blem of our nationality was raised
above the deserted battlements, and,
as its folds wore kissed by the gentle
breeze. the General uncovered his head
and called fur " three cheers for the
good old Stars and Stripes." A feeling
of profound veneration arose in the
hearts of all as we beheld the grand
flag waving over the deserted battle
ments, and planted once more on that
historic ground. Von may know that
we all reverently uncovered, and the
air resounded with our cheers. Two
companies were placed on the pap
pets, and -then we commenced an ex
amination of the works. We soon
found a Northern gentleman, who bad
reluctantly - occupied an important po
sition in the rebel army there. who
had managed to secrete himself when
they were going, and from whom we
received valuable information relative
to the mines the rebels had lain to blow
Up the works.
REASON OF THE EVACUATION
Up to within a few days since the
rebels intended to give battle here.
Finding, however, that the heavy pro
jectiles
which we had thrown over
were terribly destructive, and having
reason to believe that the batteries we
were building would, when they should
open, soon Compel them to surrender,
joined with other equally suggestive
circumstances, satisfied the rebel gen
erals that their position would speedily
I.)e. untenable, and that the best policy
for them to pursue was to evacuate.
It seems that they dreaded our gun
boats quite as much as our batteries
And our regiments. I have reliable in
tformation that they calculated greatly
upon assistance from the Merrimac.—
An order was issued, seven days ago,
,requiring the Itierrimae to report to
Alen. Johnson immediately, at York
town. But the Merrimac had well
founded fears of the Monitor, and she
did not attempt to comply with the re
quirments of the order.
THE REBEL ARMY DEMORALIZED
From several sources of information
I have become convinced that the lar
ger part of the rebel army was com
pletely demoralized. The three de
sertersof which I have already spoken,
who_ came inside our lines early this
morning, said that all but three com
panies of the First Virginia regiment,
whose term of enlistment bad expired,
'had thrown down their arms and pos
itively refused to re-enlist. The Ports
mouth Grays also refused to continue
any longer in the rebel service, and
for their refusal they were put in the
guard house. It is said that five thou
sand of Gen. Magruder's men threat
ened to lay down their arms. Three
rebel lieutenants, two sergeants and
twenty men were captured the other
side of Yorktown and brought in.
Since the 3d, a large number of dcser
,tem have come in, and their army is
'thoroughly disheartened and demoral
'ized. Those who find themselves in
'rhe rebel ranks arc utterly disgusted
with the rebellion.
THE TROPHIES
In Yorktown proper are about forty
guns, ranging from 12 pound carron
odes and howitzers to 32-pounders of
the old navy pattern, which throw a
100 pound solid shot. These guns are
.all left—spiked, of course. The re
,mains of two that burst are visible.
The heavy gun that burst on Friday
Jost, a deserter tells me, killed three
and wounded twelve men. Ammuni
tion is left in moderate quantities—
hospital stores in profusion—no com
missary stores of any moment. Tents

and the trail ropes not even cut; the'
magazines not even blown up. Only

of every description. Trophies abound.
The early risers secured some worthy

and stragglers are arrested.
THE FORTIFICATIONS AT YORKTOWN
The fortifications around Yorktown
itself wore of the most formidable
character. 1 have positive and reliable
intbrmation that ever since the battle
of Big Bethel, almost a year ago, and
before it, the rebels have been hard at
work fortifying the whole peninsula.
The works at Big Bethel, and those at
lloward's bridge—which were aban
doned when we marched -up hero a
month ago—required considerable la
bor. From the time of the occupation
of Yorktown, about a year ago, by the
rebel General Magruder, two thousand
slaves have been constantly employed
on the fortifications in the immediate
vicinity of Yorktown and across the
river at Gloucester. These have been
assisted by the effective rebel force,
some seven thousand men, which Gen.
Magruder has had under his command.
They were composed chiefly of Yir
ginia, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisia
na troops. The fortifications of York
town aro in the general shape of an
elongated triangle, with the river for
the base. In length they arc five
eighths of a mile. They are strong,
but not neat. They aught luive been
taken by storm with terrible loss;
could have been taken by turning their
right on the Warwick, after a severe
battle; butt hme been taken without
any loss of any kind. One man was
killed and three wounded by the ex
plosion of a shell, attached to a torpe
do in front of the works. Ile be
longed to the Twenty-second Massa
chusetts.
That immense connected fortifica
tion, with its numerous salient angles,
on which their heaviest guns were
mounted, is at once a beautiful and a
wonderful work. The ditch is deep.
but dry; the parapet is lofty, and would
be difficult to scale. This work, with
a water-battery below, commands the
river on the Yorktown side. Running
toward the right of the rebel lines
there is a long breastwork, not pierced
for guns, but having in front a ditch of
the same depth as that before the fort.
This breastwork connects an elegant
redoubt of considerable magnitude,
and another breastwork of the same
description connects another redoubt
beyond, still further to the left. On
this redoubt there had been mounted a
number of columbiads and Dahlgren
naval gnus, with one siege howitzer.
It's now occupied by the Fortieth New
York regiment, whose banners are
streaming front the walls. In front of
these works there is an immense area
of open ground, which is completely
commanded by their guns.
Trees which were standing a 3 -ear
ago have been cut down by the rebels
to give free range to their artillery.—
Deep gorges and ravines are inside
and about these fortifications. This
natural advantage Iltrnished good cov
er for their troops against artillery
fire, and rendered the position difficult
to assault. To the left of the York
town road—the enemy's right—as you
approach the town, other fortifications
had been constructed. On the line of
the Warwick road, a few hundred yds.
from the Yorktown turnpike, there is
a small ravine. An inconsiderable
stream has been made to increase the
extent of a natural swamp in front of
the works at this point. This is near
the spot where Lord Cornwallis sur
rendered to 'Washington, and the Bri
tish laid down their arms. Further to
the right of the enemy's line, along the
course of the Warwick river, there are
other earthworks which I have not yet
had an opportunity to examine.
The Battle of Williamsburg.
The - New York lierald, publishes an
interesting letter, from which we Lake
the following:
We had approached Williamsburg
from a direction a little south of east.
on the regular Yorktown road, and
right on the road, in sight of the stee
ples of the quaint old capital, we found
Fort Magruder, a large enclosed work,
in which were thirteen guns. To the
north and south of it were redoubts,
which established a fortified line of
three miles in extent, in which the en
emy had twenty-one guns. Every ap
proach was well covered by his guns.
The approach on the front was obstruc
ted by a heavy abatis, and the trees
were felled for a mile, to give his guns
the clearest possible sweep.
Hostilities Begin
At about eight A. M. they deter
mined to interrupt our Ihrther exami
nation of their little arrangements,
and threw out a body of infantry to
their right, which soon exchanged fire
with the advance of Hooker's division.
Though it did not at first seem serious,
this fire was exchanged intermittently
for a good white. ,Some light batter
ies became engaged in it, and• drove
the enemy pretty hard, until, unhicki
ly, they got under fire of the enemy's
heaviest guns, when they, of course,
got the worst of it. Bramhali's New
York battery, in particular, had gotten
into a scrape, and a very hard fight
took place in the endeavor to save it.
All the horses were either killed or
wounded, the guns were mired, and,
though our men fought well and hard,
the enemy poured his infantry out lav
ishly- at the right time and in the right
place, and finally carried away the guns
with a most terrible chorus of yelps
and cheers.
Critical Situation on our Left
It was near noon, and the enemy,
encouraged by his success on our left,
was disposed to push harder in the
same direction. Two divisions of the
Fourth corps were now on the field,
and Peck's brigade, of Couch's division,
with two regiments otlleven's brigade
—the Seventh Massachusetts, Col. Rus
sel, and the Second Rhode Island, Col.
Frank Wheaton—in all about six thou
sand men—were pushed into the right
of Hooker, stopped the enemy's ad
vance, and perhaps saved Hooker en
tirely. Peck's position was not one
that afforded a chance for any brilliant
display ; but it required the most stub
born resistance, and he maintained it
ba.ndsemely all day, and repulsed every
attempt that the'enemy made to ad-
Yance. Ilanipered by his position in
the woods, and equally, perhaps, by his
I orders, he could not 'go on, and was
thus kept under such a fire that it is a
miracle his loss proved so small. For
a great portion of the time his men
were fiat on their faces, and many of
their wounds were received in that po
t ,ition. BM the woods all around the
place were cut to shreds with grape
shot. General Peek, late in the after
' noon, was supported by Palmer's brig
! ade, ofCasey's division, and thusformeil
' a very strong centre. Still there was
no advance, and " every one wondered."
But while thus on the left and centre.
with a modicum of reverse, we at best
did little better than hold our own.—
The right presented a more grateful
, spectacle.
The Right ,4 All Right."
Smith's division was formed on the
right front of our line of battle. and
sonic portion of its artillery bothered
the enemy at long range, while its three
brigades of infantry were held in hand
ready to participate when called upon.
They wore called upon soon. From a
native, we had learned of a good road
that led through the woods to our right,
and approached the enemy's position
upon a side from which we had not
hitherto seen it. (len. Hancock's bri
gade, with Wheeler's New York bat-
iery was accordingly sent out by this
road. Alter a long and cautious march
through the woods, and a wide circuit
which opened in full view Of the York
river, the head of the column fotind an
111n0 i,ta ble e vidence that the enemy
had expected an advance by this way.
'Po the left of the line of March there
was a wide, full dam, and there for
some distance the road had formerly
run close by the water side; but the
dam had now been so raised that the
road was flooded, and impassable fin• a
considerable distance. No time was
to be lost, and a party at once gut to
work to cut a new road through the
woods over a steep hill ; and did the
work as well as circuinstances would
permit. But the bed of the new road
was of yellow clay, and as the rain
poured down and softened it the artil
lery sank deeper and deeper into it at
every turn of the wheels. Still, all
toiled on bravely and with a will, and
finally came out to a wide open field
in full view of three redoubts of con
siderable size, but not pierced for can
non. Why the enemy had occupied
these works at all it would he difficult
to say ; for no sooner was our fire
opened upon the nearest, than the reb
els burst out of it in complete stampede
and made good time in a sate direc
tion. So they'did also from the sec
ond and third, which stood in line with
one anotheracross the plain upon which
our column advanced.
Gen. Hancock Wants to Advance
Several times Gcn. llaneock sent
back urgent appeals for more force, but
none was sent, and lie was compelled
to remain in the position lie had taken
near the first redoubt. Doubtless, the
enemy supposed this to be the result
of timidity. They, in turn determined
to advance, hoping, perhaps, to repeat
what they had already done on our
left. Out of this movement of theirs
grew what proved to be the light of
the day—a tight that was, in itself, a
hard-fought and beautiful battle; a bat
tle in which each side must have learn
ed to respect the courage of the other
Advance of the Euemy
Under cover of the wood, and di
rectly through it the enemy, compri
sing parts of two brigades, advanced
from the neighborhood of Port Ma
gruder, about, 3.000 strong, doubtless
tempted, as we have said, by the bait
of a battery of beautind field pieces.
From the sharp fire of the skirmishers
in the woods on our right came the
first intitnation of a movement in that
direction, and this put all on the alert.
By the field pieces, the great central
point of interest, every man was in his
place, and many eyes turned with deep
interest on the handsome and intellec
tual face of their commander, the ami
able gentleman and gallant soldier,
°apt. Wheeler, of the New York -Vol
unteer Artillery. Ile was not only in
his place, but it was eminently the
right place, and he was the right man
in it. Down the lines, too, of the inl.•tn
try reginents all was steady, and the
jaded men, who had bivouacked the
night before in mud and rain, and were
drabbled front head to foot with the
one, and wet to the skin with the oili
er, stood up in their places like heroes.
Still the fire grew hotter in the
woods, and in a few minutes, at a point
fully half a mile away, from the butte
ry, the enemy's men began to file out
of the: cover and form in the open field.
Wheeler opened his guns on the in
stant, and the swath of dead that sub
sequently marked the course of the
brigade across the open field beg:nt at
that spot. At the same moment also,
the skirmishers in the field began their
fire. Still the enemy formed across the
opening with admirable rapidity and
precision, and as coolly as if the fire had
been directed elsewhere, and then came
on at the double-quick step, in three dis
tinct lines, firing as they Caine. All
sounds were lost for a few moments in
the short roar of the field-pieces, and in
the scattered rattle and rapid repeti
tion of the musketry. They were
dangerously near. Already the skir
mishers to the left had fallen back to
their line, and the skirmishers to the
right had taken cover behind the rail
fence that ran from the limiso to the
woods ; but from thence they blazed
away earnestly as ever. Yet the guns
are out there, and they arc what those
fellows want ; and in the next instant
the guns are silent. For a moment,
in the confusion and the smoke one
might almost suppose that the enemy
had them ; hut in a moment more the
guns emerge from the safe side of the
smoke cloud, and away they go across
the field to a point near the upper re
doubt. There again they are unlim
bered, and again they play away.—
Farther back also go the skirmishers.
And now for a few moments the rebels
had the partial cover of the farm and
outbuildings; but they saw that they
had all their work to do over, and so
they came on again. Once more they
are in a fair open field, exposed to both
artillery and musketry; but this time
the distance they have got to go is not
so great. They move rapidly ; there,
however, is another dangerous line of
infantry; they are near to us; but we
also are near to them. Scarcely a huh
died yards are between them and the
guns when our skirmish tire became
silent; the lines of the FiXth Wisconsin
And the Forty-third New York foilned
up in close order to the right of the
battery, the long range of musket bar
reli't,ame to one level, and one terrible
volley tore through the rebel lines.
Charging Eiayonets—The Enemy Reheat.
In a moment more 'the same long
range of muskets camel() another ley
' el; the order to charge with the bayo
net was given, 'and away Went the two
regiments with 'one Owl e h eel% (1 a I.
Lint as our thus undoubtedly were, they
couldn't meet that. But few brigades
mentioned in history have done better
than that brigade did. For a Space,
which was generally estimated at three
quarters of a mile, they had advanced
under the fire of a : 1 )10tulidly-served
battery, and with a cloud of skirmish
ers stretched across their front, whose
lire was very destructive; and if; after
that, they had not the nerve to meet a
line of bayonets that came towards
them like the spirit of destruction in
carnate, it need not be wondered at.
They broke and fled in complete pan
ic. One hundred and forty-five were
taken prisoners. :Nearly five hundred
were killed and wounded. This took
place at about half-past 4, P. M., and,
as will be seen, was altogether a "side
fig ht."
General McClellan Comes Up
At exactly 5 P. M., General McClel
lan came up. In a few minutes he had
gathered around him nearly all his
general officers, then accessible, heard
the accounts of each, and seemed to see
at once, and very clearly, how matters
stood. Scarcely ten minutes had
elapsed alter his arrival on the field
before he gave the order to support
General Ilaneoek, and to press the ad
vantage already gained in that direc
tion ; and in live minutes more seven
thousand men were on the march for
that point. Night fell before they
reached it, and no More was done that
d a y ; b u t ther e , a s subsequent examina
tion proved, was the enemy's weak
point. General Al aloha!) was struck
by a piece of shell, but escaped urin
jured.
Killed and Wounded
One litindred and three men wound
ed during the day had been brought
into the hospital near headquarters,
and, under the personal supervision of
Pr. Joseph B. Brown, medical director
of the Fourth corps; their wounds
were all dressed by D P. M. Of the
killed and wounded in Hooker's divi
sion we cannot at pres.r.nt speak; but
the whole loss in the Fourth will not
exceed fifty killed and one hundred and
tbirty wounded.
What the Next flay Told Us
At daylight we found all the forts in
our front, and Williamsburg itself,
completely abandoned by the rebel ar
my, baVC 01113 - the dead and wounded.
All along the roads and in the woods
WC found the enemy's dead left un
buried, and his wounded in their death
agonies. Every barn was full of them,
and every house . in Williamsburg also,
and the enemy's loss cannot have been
less than t thousand killed and woun
ded.
OUR CORRESPONDENCE

FRIEND LEWIti :-1 propose to give
you a letter lit. publleation if you Race
room fin. it; if not your readers won't
lose much; but to begin.---When the
first authentic news of the great battle
at Pittsburg Landing reached me, I
determined to go and see ;Wont the
wounded from here, if I could possibly
get through. I left here on Friday
morning, the I lilt ultimo, and reached
Cairo on Saturday, the 12th, and had
to remain there till Sunday evening
before the boat left for the Landing.
While at Cairo two or three boats came
down with wounded aboard. The
first boat 1 boarded was the."). A. Jan
uary, bound for St. Louis with six or
seven hundred wounded ntcn. The
poor fellows were lying around on the
boiler deck, sonic on cots, some on
blankets iii every conceivable position,
and wounded in as many different
ways. Some wore shot in the head,
some in the feet and legs, sonic dying,
sonic groaning, and others hopeful and
smiling. On the way up we met sev
eral other boats freighted in the same
way. We reached the Landing on
Tuesday, the 15th ult. 'l'lle fight had
conic off on the Gth and 7th. There I
learned that most of' the wounded from
this place were in the Hospital at 'Sa
vannah and doinn. well. I also learned
that the only relative 1 had in the
fight—a nephew—had been dangerous
ly, if not fatally, wounded and sent to
Evansville, Indiana. I was obliged to
remain till Friday, the 18th, before I
could get a boat down the river. I
spent the time in visiting friends and
looking over the battle-field. I saw
much to interest me, but little that I
could add to the description of battle
fields, so often attempted, but never
described. This field being the ground
occupied by our troops since the fight,
was, of course, more carefully cleared
than is ordinarily the case I presume,
and, except for fresh (Fares and half
burial horses, the ground looked little
different from the camping ground of
an army any place; but tlie timber
(with which the entire battle-field,
with a few exceptions, is densely cov
ered) showed the signs of the awf u l
contest that raged there during those
two dreadful days; many trees are cut
through and through with large shot
and pelted with rifle and musket shot
as if with hail. The. question Out ari
ses in one's mind is not how so many
were killed and wounded, but how any
escaped. There is abundant evidence
that the ground was desperately con
tested by both sides—indeed, it was
two hard 'blight battles—two armies
whipped Grant's on Sunday and
Beauregard's on Monday.
If any of your readers are anxious
to know how a person feels at the
sight of the wounded and dying, I can
only say for myself, that the impres
sion on the mind is not unpleasant.—
A man's sensibilities arc not affected
in proportion to the numbers he sees,
at, all, and any man can pass around
among loads of Wormded and dying, in
a short time, as composed and com
fortable as anywhere else. On the
battle-field the sights of fresh 'graves
in such numbers, blunts the sensibili
ties, and men who, a few months ago,
would shudder at the sight of a coffin
or a newly made grave would *it, and
chat on one or step over the 'other
without a passing thought. The hard
cSt sights I saw during my trip was
in the Hospitals, after the wounded
had been there, and until only the
worst cases were left, when pain, weak
ness and disease together, Were pres
sing the brave fellows down, and where,
in spite of every effort to prevent' it,
the stench of the rooms was almost in
tolerable. This, to my mind, is much
inore affecting than the sight of theticad
and dying on the hattte-held.
Alter our late fights at Dobelson and
Pittsburg Landing, many of the citi
zens lui'Ve gone to look after the-woun
ded. froin this and ()dia States; 'but
the majority of' sticli: . as far as'l' cuittld
learn, turned their attention to seeing
sights, hunting relics, such as shot
guns, revolvers, knives, and canes,
leaving the wounded to the tender
mercies of the hospital, nurses, and in
sonic cases, when they pretended to
take care of the wounded, getting
drunk on the liquors intended ior 'the
sick and wounded,—hilt Such ;s war.—
God grant it may soon come to an end.

DIED,
On the 28th of April, 1862, on the
steamboat Hawkey° State, near Bur
lington, lowa, FRANCIS M. Boers, of
Co. I, 50th liegt., Illinois Volunteers,
aged about 24 years.
The deceased was a native of Huntingdon
county, Pa., but removed to Warren county,
Illinois, with his parents in 1851, with whom
he resided until last October, when a sense of
duty to his country induced hint to volunteer
in the ranks, and go forth to aid in putting
down this unholy rebellion. 110 was in the
tight at Donelson, but escaped unhurt. At
the battle of Pittsburg Landing on the 6th of
April, he was shot twice—the first ball pass
ing through the left thigh, making a severe
but not dangerous wound. He was nest shot
through the right thigh, the ball shattering
the hone in its course. lie lay where he fell
until Monday evening, when he was carried
to the, river in an ambulance, and placed on
the ground, where he again remained ex
posed to the rain till the afternoon on Tues.
day,.without attention. Ile was carried to
the Hospital at St. Louis, where he was found
by his friends, but died before reaching home.
His body was taken home and buried on
Wednesday, the 30th ult., at North Hender
son Church, where a funeral discourse was
delivered to a large and attentive audience
by the Pastor of the Presbyterian church, of
which the deceased was a member. P.
