we were to support,. our men were permitted to
lay down on the ground. with their bridles in
their hand§,. a permission most eagerly taken ad
vantage ef. In the. morning, amidst a pouring
rain, we encampedria a wheat field, which as it
filled with constant accessions of troops soon be
came a sheet of mud ; however, we made the best
of it, and as we mot many friends, our time pass
ed pleasantly. Capt. Murray came over to see
me, and Col. Cake's regiment was quartered in
front of me. Capt. Murray remained to supper,
and we passed several hours in the delightful
communion of friendship, cotnen tad by long years
of kind acts and good will. The next day we
were moved about three miles back, and were
here visited by our friends Capt. Edward Smith
. and -Lieut. Jnq. P. Ely, of the 19th Regular In
fantry ; and Dr. Green, the pink of gentleman
and Surgeons, of the 7th Reserves, Lieut. O'-
Rourke, and Capt. Tally, of the let Reserves, and
hosts of friends, whom we have made in the ar
my, anxious to know who was dead, wounded,
taken or alive and yet in arms. Here I became
very sick. The constant fatigue or exposure,
with a continuous diarrhoea, which is getting
worse instead of better, operating upon a system
somewhat broken already, began to produce their
effect ; my legs swelled to above the knee, giving
me some pain and great inconvenience in walking
,and riding, and it was with difficulty that was
able to accompany the regiment to this place,
here we are delightfully encamped immediately
on the banks of James' River, with the old Har
rison House close to our left, and the 3d Penn
sylvania Cavalry on our right, our rear resting
on the river—the bank of which is fringed with
trees, and affords delightful quarters to field and
staff.
The reader from Lebanon county will have ob
served that I make very little mention of my
Lieutenants. I now ?tweed to state what be
came of them which will explain my silence.—
Lient. Reinhold was sent, very sick, having been
delirious during the night, about 11 o'clock, A.
M., of the 26th, to seek for a hospital. On ar
riving at the nearest, the prospect was so dismal
that he concluded he had better try some other
plan. The Surgeon in charge, suggested that if
he felt able, he had better take the train, and go
down to the White House, where he thought he
could be comfortably accommodated. The Lieut.
who had been sent off without his servant, a great
m istake, which should not have happened if I
had bean there, took his advice. On his arrival
at that station, he found himself not much bet
ter off than before, and that unless ho got on
board of a boat, and went down to Fortress Mon
roe, there was little prospect of comfort in the
crowded hospitals at that place, Hero again a
Surgeon came to his assistance, and told him,
that the train which had just come in, was the
list, but perhaps he could persuade one of the
Engineers to take him, and ethers anxious to get
up to the army back. There was great difficulty
in accomplishing this, for the knowledge of the
attacks on our right wing on Thursday and Fri
day was beginning to circulate, and it was be
lieved that their first dash would now be for the
White House. At last they succeeded, and got
away. At the Despatch Station, Lieut. Reinhold
observed Seel% George K. Hess of my Ca. who
beckoned to hitn. Delighted at the idea of re
'
joinino the company so much sooner than he ex
pected, far be never dreamed that Hess was there
alone, he got out of the cars intending to return
for his blankets. Before he could get back to
the cars, they were MI, and be and Bess were left
to "pad the hoof," in search of the regiment.
This was no pleasant or even easy task. Nei
ther of them had any idea where it was, nor in
what direction. Hess had come down, after go
ing to the rear on Friday evening, and in vain en
deavoring to,rejoin u 3 that night or early in the
morning, with the hope of finding one of our
companies at the White House, and returning in
their ranks. Before getting to Despatch Sta
tion, he feued the rumor to be false and got out.
The Lieut. had not seen any of the movements on
Thersday.and Friday, and consequently did not
even Whew the general lines of retreat. He knew,
however, that Gen. McClellan's head quarters
were at Savage's Station, fur which place they
accordingly started. In this long walk, and in
his week condition, without arms, he was fre
quently alarmed by distant appearances of the
enemy. At length he came across a large body
of our troops, who were throwing up entrench
ments and was there treated to a distant view of
the enemy's cavalry, ivhich reminded him that
he was dismounted, and being now certain of
meeting a part of the army at his place of desti
nation,
he and Hess, both more or less sick, al
though the Lieut. had improved Much under the
treatment he received at the White House, moved
on as fast as they could. At length they reached
there, and there passed the night. They then
took the road through the Wl.ite_a_ak-- 9 ."" - -*
a Ll+, it, anal - May - num to toe corduroy
bridges, where they met Maj. Embich. who ad
vised them to remain there as the whole army
would pass over them, and they took his advice.
When Lieut. Lineaweavereameup with his train,
they joined the wagons, and on Sunday morning
came over to us, the Lieut. arriving in time to he
auhjeeted to the severe`•haptistn of fire," to which
we were teeposed on Monday, and which he bore
with the steadiness and philosophy of a veteran.
From that time he has remained with the compa
ny, performing his usual duties, and enjoying
his usual health.
Lieut. Lineaweaver had been detailed by Capt.
Young, as Battalion Quarter Master, immedi
ately on our arrival at the White House, and Col.
Childs had continued him in the position as Act
ing Regimental Quarter Master, which of course
detached him from duty with the company. Re
describes his journey as one of continued vexa
tion and annoyance, in which every faculty of
mind end body, was taxed to keep his train, at
once together, and in its place. On two Gem:t
eens there was same danger. Once, after the
retreat of our troops from Savage's Station, they
had a distant view of the rebel cavalry, although
unknown to them large bodies of our troops were
between the two. The sight was so unpleaSing
that they did not stay to enjoy it, but hurried on
as fast as they could, for fear of a nearer acquain
tance with those light handed gentlemen.
Again, when they got opposite to the Signal
Station, there was ajain in the road, and it be
came certain there would he no movement for sev
eral hours in the regular course of affairs. The
Lieutenant says that with several others, he
thought he would go and witness the panorama
of a real battle, and accordingly ascended a hill
between the trains and the combatants, who were
fighting on our right flank, which promised to
be a very favorable position for that purpose.—
He head scarcely reached the place, when his ap
pearance, and that of his companions seemed to
be a signal to a rebel battery, placed in a wood,
and so concealed from view, to open fire, and a
eingle round from each gun belched forth its
sheet of .flame and smoke. Ono of the shells
passed within a few feet of him. Simultaneous
ly with the rebel fire a hundred guns opened up
on the devoted wood, and deep, booming, roaring
through the air, like a mingled storm of hail and
sleet, came the enormous shells from the gun
boats on the James River. Ile says the sight
was magnificent beyond conception, as all the
abatis seemed to fall at one and the same moment
into the wood, whence the rebel fire had proceed
ed. Not another shot, proceeded from it whilst
he remained; nor could he stay long to see, for
some of the shells flying over the hill, fell near
to or amidst the train, and produced a rapid emer
gence from difficulties, which all their energies a
few moments before seemed tenable to overeeite.
Hu consequently had to betake himself to his du
ties, but aduißs his movements were not slack
ened at the
: unceremonious manner in which the
rebels received the compliment he was about to
pay them, in becoming a spectator in their teach
vaunted deeds of valor. From this point, the
trains soon after emerged on the high ground
near the Chickahominy, and pursued their way
unmolested, our own joining us for a short time
on Sunday morning, to re-peek and resume the
road in the evening, except by the usual ohita
cies in a train of such dimensions, until their final
arrival at Harrison's Landing, where we now
are. Lieut. Llna , weaver paid us a couple of vis
its, during these busy days, but they were iseces•
eerily short, and fur the twist part occupied, with
the reception and explanation of the Colonel's
orders. Throughout great part of the tithe, he
was left to act entirely on his own discretion,
and brought through his train, with safety and
expedition, except one wagon, which was smash
ed to pieces by the obstinacy and recklessness of
its driver, or the untnanageableness of the mule
team, it was hard to say which. It is a pretty
Wiens matter to the . Co. to which such an acci
dent happens, as they lose all their camp equip.
age and the officers all their baggage. In this
case, the articles were I believe nearly all recov.
ered, or, the Lieut. would have been in a sod
serape, for men will not listen to reason at such
times, although he weld have established that
the neeldent hemmed contrary to tits orders and
remonstraneiss.

TO THE PUBLIC,
We can have no further bandying
of words with the Lebanon Courier
until the war is over. Then, if we
are spared, and occupy the same po
sition we do now, we shall probably
be ready for it again. We have high
er and nobler work at this time, viz:
advocating the preservation of the
Union, maintaining the inviolability
of the Constitution, the enforcement
of the Laws, and the putting down
of the rebellion. We receive no fair.
ness from the Courier, its whole aim
and end being to misrepresent us,
and place us in the position of being
a sympathizer with secessionism. To
do so it stops not in any charges with
out any foundation in truth whatever.
If, however, it will meet any of the
great questions fairly, and discuss
them on their merits, wo arc ready
for it anytime ; but we will not ban
dy words with it in which its whole
object is to deceive its readers and
place us in a wrong position. Crim
ination and recrimination are out of
place and time now. We will dis
cuss fairly Democratic principles with
it, to which it is opposed . , or we will
discuss Abolition principleS with it,
to which we are opposed, and in con.
flexion with both the best mode for
putting down the Rebellion.. Hence,
it its personalities and misrepresenta•
Lions are hereafter disregarded the
public will know why.
HIPORTANT RRESPOND
ENCE.
We publish in this paper the cor
respondence bet;•een the President
and the Representatives of the Bor.
der States in relation to his Emanci
pation Scheme. We trust no one
will fail to read it. That scheme may
truly. be characterized as a plan to
aid the rebellion and render the re.s
torotian_oLthn nassi h irk
That would be its certain effect, and
the persistent reeommendation.of it
by the President has undoubtedly
given more aid and comfort to the
rebel leaders than anything else ex
cept the radical legislation of Con
gress.
We do not
.propose to discuss the
great questions raised in this corres
pondence, but simply desire to direct
the reader's careful attention to two
points in the letter of the -.Border
State men—that showing that 'the
great strength of the rebellion is de,
rived from abolition agitation, and
that relating to the abolition "pres
sure" which the President •is unveil
ling to resist. A thoughtful perusal
of this correspondence will be profita
ble to all; and it may give to some
new ideas in regard both to the re-
bellion, and the hopelessness of its
suppression upon Mr. Lincoln's eman
cipation policy.
Ser The following sentence may
be found in the "appeal of the Presi
dent" to the Border States represen
tatives, printed on tho first page of
this paper :
"Yet, iu repud kiting it, I give dissatisfaction,
if not offence, to many whose support the coun
try cannot afford to less. And this is not tho end
of it. The pressure in this , direction is still upon
me, and is increasing. 13y conceding. what I
now ask you can relieve me, and much more, can
relieve the country in this important point."
It is a surprise to Democrats—who
have been accustomed to be called
"Traitors" by Abolition Pharisees--
to find the President thus defining
and "making history" of the qualifi.
ed loyalty offiepublican Senators and
Congressmen ! He intimates plainly
that ho is obliged to Conciliate Omni,
or the country will lose "their sup:
port," and thus we have it recorded
by the highest authority, that the
motto and determination of these Ja
cobins is, the Negro first the Union
last! We challenge any such eshi•
bitions of limping loyalty in the ranks
of Democracy. They have denounc
ed the pestilential agitation of aboli
tion and emancipation in the midst
of civil war, because its obvious effect
was and is to add strength to the re
bellion and decimate and imperil-Un
ion men South.
In- On the first page we publish the
order issued by the Government relative
to drafting. 300,000 men are to be im
mediately drafted, and if any state shall
not furnish her quota of the 800,000 vol
unteers called for some weeks ago t he de
ficiency shall be made up by a special
draft. The call foit volunteers, however,
has been supplied by Pennsylvania, s o
there will be no draft for the latter pur
pose. The County Cpmmissioners are
already enrolling pli men 'between the
ages -of 18 :and 45 years.- and as soon as

burg, the Republican papers were
spreading broadcast .an order'-(we
believe it as bogus as the handbill—)
that Gov. * Sprague was organizing
a Regiment of negroes in Rhode Is-
land and intended to take the com•
mand of them himself. This then was
PATRIOTISM. However, the real cause
of the arrest of the editors -and pro
prietors of the Patriot and • • Union is
Said to be owing to the conductors
of the Te/egraph, the Republican pa
per at Harrisburg, who had been pros-
eluted for libel, .and whose inconsist:
encies and hypocrisy had been freely
exposed in the columns of, the Pat riot
and Union. Revenge and to suppress
an out-spoken and fearless journal,
was the real motive. The Telegraph
probably also calculated that it, would
be a fine business operation to get
the Patriot and Vilion out of the way.
Perhaps it will be, and perhaps the
people will express an opinion at the
polls the second Tuesday of October
next.
)71,. Sauce for the goose is no long
er sause for the gander, in the opin

privilege of expressing themselves
freely on the conduct of the war and
the fitness of those conducting it, but
they do not accord the same privilege
to Democrats. An editor out west—.

says:
"With sueb , Generali in the field as McClellan,

We do not 'think that Secretary

that Republicanism is patriotism. If

and defied the secesh to touch it again.
The proprietor of the place pronounc
es the whole story a fabrication, and
a malicious effort to injure the repu

proprietor is a Democrat, hence the
effort to-insult and injure- him:

Golden Gate was burned at sea on the
27th ult., and - 1, 1. 0 passengers and 20
of the crew loWt: She had a million
and a half of specie on board, which,
it is thought, would be saved as the
vessel was beached. The disaster oc
curred near Manzanilla, in Mexico
about fifteen hundred miles south of
San Francisco.
Afar All the negroes that come into
our camps are "invited to work," but
do not appear inclined to accept the
invitation. Gen. McClellan employs
all he can find, and says he does not
have enough. So with other Gener
als, except those who keep negro
academics.
Ate - \Vic:Miff° did not, at the Indi
ana State Convention "advise his hear
ers against any unore . fighting against
the rebels until we see what we are
fighting for,'! as the Courier stated
last week. It knew that the,sf - atement
was false.
"JUST 46!' r
Our Assessors have hacl some sport
in enrolling the Militia.' In one or
two instances they have been order
ed to leave the house, or take a stroke
from a 6room—stick! One young mar
ried lady was enquired of how old her
husband was. "Why let mo see,"
said she, "I am twenty-three and he
is just - 23 years older than lam !"
his astonishing how old some of our
citizens have suddenly grown. The
Mt: Vernon Balmer says that the
"just 46" malady is prevalent there.
It says "as the Assessors go from
house to house taking down the
names of those between the ages of
18 and 45 it is astonishin !: the num
ber that report that they are "just
46," which of course (if correct,) plac
es them on the "retired list." An
unusual number of lame men have
been discovered, who have all kinds
of ruptures, bruises; wounds and "la.
tent defects" upon their persons. It
is discovered, too,.that an immense
number have no teeth, or what is
next thing to it, artificial ones; and
hence cannot "bite cartridges." We
imagine the family bible and the phy
sician will have to be called in to set
tle a great many doubtful cases, such
as we have alluded to."
A poor devil who signs himself
"Union" in last week's Courier asks
of the editor of that sheet whether
it be true that there is a Lodge of
the Knights of the, Golden Circle in
this place. He is seeking for knowl
edge under difficulties and the Courier
does not knew for certain but knows
that sueh things are rumored. It is
not at all a wonder that the Editor of
the Courier, who at one time was at
the head of a skulking order of men
who sought out the darkoqs of, the
town to meet in, should be willing to
help along a belief in such ,a misera
ble rumor, nor that a creature like
"Union" should be found who is base
enough to make such a statement
knowing it to be false; or frightened
enough to believe the story and while
out of his wits pen the article above
referred to ;. but it is a wonder that
this community could be so little un
derstood as for any man to attempt to
foist such a canard upon the readers
of the Courier'. Out gaper] such base
hypocrites! They must stop such
abominable lying, or take the respell.
sibility of having the public to be.
Neve either that they are fools, or

they tierive their support acrd from
which the editor above mention has
grown wealthy,—is disloyal. Leba•

For the Adrertiser.
To TITE EDITOIt OP THE COURIER,:
When you administered on Am ef.
fects of "Civis" and took possession
of his personal property, did you see
anything of the Dictionary which
you said he purchased at auction ?
Not seeing it in the inventory as pub
lished in your paper I was. afraid, ;as
you are now an officeholder, that,
like many other officialgs, you had got
to trying your hand la--well I don't
like to say •what, but it means in tai.
lox's phraseology—cabbaging. As I
do not, see any signs of your having
mado any use of it I suppose you
have it not. As administrator you
ought to see what has become of it.
You may find it useful, in enabling
you to understand the meaning of the
words you use. In your reply to
"Civis" you speak of the Courier hav
ing principles to advocate based on
truth and justice, and therefore as
"enduring as eternity!' From the
showing of "Civilis" in the ADvEaTi
siLa of July 23d, you have changed
your principles every year or two
during the last 10 or 12 years. At
this Pate "enduring as eternity" with
you means 2 or 3 years, which is not
the common acceptation of the mean
ipg of those words. Your principles
remind me of the Locust posts, which
the boy said lie knew would last for.
ever, because his daddy had tried them
twice in the same piece of fence. But
perhaps Civilis does you injustice in
attributing change to you, and the
folhowing lines may account for the
seeming change :
"A merciful Providence Ihshioned us holler
• , (y purpose that we might our principles swelter;
"It can hold any 'gene tity on 'em. the belly can,
"An' bring 'em up ready for use like the pe ices)
"Or more like the liiingaroo, who (with i< stranger)
"Ptt's her family into her pouch we there's Monger,
"Aiut principle precious? then, who's goM' tones it
"Wen-there's risk o'some chap's girtjii up to »buss itt"
"Bigelow rapers."
-Physiologists. tell:us that .the',.bod
les :of' men—and pigs—are entirely
changed..in. the, course- of about 7
years: 'lf this be true it must have
been! an entirely different person - from
the T. T. W. of to-day, who enter
!aired the principles ascribed to you
by "Civilis." In the hey day of Know-
Nothingism or Dark tanternisin the
T. T. W. of that day thought the for
eign born citizens very terrible fel.
lows, dangerous to the community,
dangerous to the liberties of our coun
try, in fact lit for "'Treason, strata.
gems, and spoils," filling our jails,
penitentiaries and almshouses, and as
calculated to play the devil generally.
You seem to have a better apprecia
tion of them as you have of late fre
quently spoken of them as "our loy
al and patriotic foreign born citizens."
This is pretty.strong evidence that
the doctrine of the Physiologist above
spoken of is true; as I have no idea
that you are so deeply touched with
the "Damphool" as to stultify your.
self so egregiously at different times
on the same subject. But the change
does not take so long as 7 years, in
being effected. Less than a year suf
fices in some eases. The editor of the
Courier less than a year ago said that
the only loyal and patriotic were
those who supported the Lincoln Ad
ministration in being elected to pow.
er. Granted for the nonce that this
is true. You have lately said that no
one ever doubted that the great ma
jority of the Democratic party were
loyal and patriotic. Granted also;
but don't you see that there istt great
difference between what the editor of
the Courier said last year and what
the present editor says. Not one of
your neighbors, even those whom you
accuse of Treason and disloyalty, be
lieve you to be such a perfect Ass as
to make such contradictory state
ments within so short a period of time
as one year. Don't you see that this
goes to prove that we are not the
same to-day that we were a year ago,
and that "Civilis" is wrong in charg
ing you with being inconsistent.—
You ought to advocate the above doc
trine, it will be so very convenient and
save you much trouble. '
You say in your reply to ''Civic"
that you have "hesitated to say that
"any particular individual in our midst
"is a traitor, not because we did not
"know that there are persons among
"as sympathizing with and giving aid
"and comfort to the Rebels." True, you
thought it much safer to condetun
whole party than to single out the
guilty and expose them. You were
not willing to run the risk of the in
evitable exposure of the falsity of the
charge of Disloyalty and Treason by
pointing out the individual, but pre
ferred to slander and defame persons
whom you know to be innocent along
with those whom you believe to Co
guilty.—A safe
.cautious course, but
neither honorable nor patriotic. You
have DOW departed somewhat from
this course and limit the charge of
Disloyalty to the leaders of the _
Dem
ocratic party. .L\ ow wliom do you
call the leaders ? Shall we take our
late worthy Chief Burgess as a lead,
er ? is he disloyal—is he a Traitor?—
Will you dare to say that he gives aid
and comfort to Rebels ? Perhaps you
call the Delegate to the late State
Convention of the Deinoerat:c party

kW-The Republicans are very much
put out with Hon. Francis W. Hughes,
President of the late Democratic
State Convention, because, as they
assert, he has a brother in the rebel
army. For that reason, they say, 'he
was not fit to sit at the head of a
Convention in the capitol of a loyal
State. Lincoln has two brothers in
law in the Rebel army—is he fit to
sit at the head of the Nation ? There
is this,difrerenee between Lincoln and
Hughes. The story about Lincoln's
relatives is true while that of Ilughes'
is fides. Hughes was ahead, when
hist heard from, on the score of loyal
and respectable friends.

A riot took place last Monday after
noon, between a party of colored peo
ple employed in a tobacco factory in
Atlantic street, Brooklyn, and a large
number of Irishmen, in Ivhich a great
many were injured. The factory was
fired three different times, and every
pane of glass knocked out. The po

folks to the ferry•boat. A numberof
both parties were arrested, and it was
not thought that there would be any
further trouble.
Battle between Gen. Banks
and-Stonewall Jackson.
HEAD -QUARTERS, 6 miles below
Culpepper, Va, Aug. 10, 1862.
A battle was fought yesterday, between
Gen. Banks and Stonewall Jackson.
Gen. Bayard, of Gen. McDowell's corps,
with his cavalry brigade, had been en
gaged before in the extreme advance
near Rapidan river, in skirmishing and
manoeuvring, taking some prisoners, and
ending with a slight loss, baffling the eP
forts of a large force to surround and cut
him oil,
Yesterday morning he was engaged
for some hours before Gen. Banks came
up, and with four regiments of cavalry,
the Ist Penna., Ist Maine and Ist Rhode
Island, delayed and embarrassed the ene
my's advance:
The rebels; under Jackson and Ewell,
had crossed the Rapidan , in ':forces, and
their advance guard, 15,000 strong, was
attacked by Gen. Banks, yesterday after
noon; about six miles south of Culpepper
Court House.
Heavy losses on Toth Sicles
The fight was almost wholly with ar.
.
at first, but the infantry became en
gaged apout 6 o'clock, and a determined
and bloody contest followed.
Gen. Banks' right wing, under Gen.
Williams, suffered severely.
The rebel position was in the woods,
while the troops which attacked them
were obliged to cross an open ground.
It was not till about six o'clock that it
became evident that the rebels were at
tacking us in force. Previous to that
there had been rather desultory cannon-
ad Mg.
The whole rebel force suddenly attack
ed us in overwhelming numbers at all
points. Nearly all their regiments had
full ranks.
At 71 o'clock Gen. Pope arrived on the
field, from Culpepper, accompanied by
Gen McDowell, with a part of McDowell's
corps.
The rattle was then substantially over,
Gen. Banks holding the ground that he
had occupied at the beginning.
After the arrival of Cen. Pope there
was an artillery contest; continuing at in
tervals till. nearly twelve o'clock. The
night was unusually clear and the moon
full.
The rebels planted a battery against
McDowell's centre, where Generals Pope
and Banks were bringing both of them
under fire.
The Generals and their staff were so
near the reb el lines, being actually in front
of their own lines, that a sudden charge
of the rebel cavalry was made from the
woods, a quarter of a mile off, apparent
ly with a view to capture them.
The attempt was repelled by a vigo
rous fire from McDowell's troops, and the
Generals and their staffs left the field un
der a cross fire from the rebels and their
own troops.
The fire of the rebel batteries was af
terwards silenced.
Gen. Pope, on arriving:, sent fresh troops
to the front to take the place of General
Banks' exhausted columns.
The enemy did not renew the attack;
except by artillery.
Our troops were under arms and in
position all night.
Gen. Banks was on the field through
out the action, and constantly under fire.
His handling of his troops and personal
gallantry is highly praised by his officers:
The bravery and good conduct of the
troops were conspicuous during a large
part of the fire: When overpowered by
numbers, some of the regiments retreated
in disorder.
Gen. Geary was severely wounded and
has had an arm amputated.
Col. Knight, of the 46th Penn. is dan
gerously wounded.
Lieut. Col. Selfridge was severely
wounded.
Major Matthews had his arm amputat
ed.
Adjutant Boyd was se4rely wounded.
(All of the 46th Penn )
Col. Donnelly, of the 28th New York,
was fatally wounded; Lieut.-Col. Brown
had his arm amputated. Major Cook
was killed; both are of the 28th New
York.
Col. Chapman, of the sth Connecticut,
was wounded and taken prisoner.
Lieut. Col. Stone; of the same regiment,
was killed.
Major Blake, of the same regiment, was
wounded and taken prisoner.
Major Savage, of the 2d Mass., is prob,
ably killed. He was left on the field in a
dying condition. Capt.". Abbott, of the
same regiment, was killed.
Gen. Banks was rather severely hurt
by an accident. A cavalry- trooper ran
against him, and he was struck heavily
in the side. Nevertheless he remained
on the field, and is on duty this morning
with his command.
The 2d Mass. was in the hardest of the
fight, and suffered severely.
The sth Conn , 27th Indiana, and 46th
Penn. regiments are badly cut up. Lieut.
Ramsey, of Gen. Banks' staff, had his
horse shot under him:
Gen. Wilder, of the rebel forces, was
wounded.
The losses are very heavy on both
sides, and it is supposed that not less than
2000 or 3000 were killed and wounded,
or are missing, on each side.
Some prisoners were taken by, both
sides.
Jackson and Ewell were both present
in the battle.
Reinforcements to the amount of 18,000
men reached the rebels last night, at about
the same time ours arrived.
Skirmishing in front is going on this
morning, but the troops on both sides are
so much exhausted by fatigue and the
immense heat, that no serious encounter
is expected to take place to-day.
