During yesterday we were favored with a visit from an

reudered the dusty roads hereabouts little else but
ponds of soft nond.
IMPORTANT PROM TDB JAMES RIVER
prom City , Point I learn, to-day, that our war vessels
in the James river, above City Point, have run the bat—
teries at Drury'e Bluff, and it is rumored that the
Monitor has passed through the obstructions, sinking the
rebel gunboats about Richmond. If this be true, the
Monitor, by this time, le at the Bccketta.
A number of powerful gunboats havo been sent up the
river during the past two or three days, and our fleet be
fore Richmond is now Quite formidable, consisting of at
lent twenty vessels, armed with the very bast of naval
ordnance.
We muet succeed in driving the rebels into their last
ditcb, and, indeed, out or it again.
REBELS DOWN IN THE MOUTH
The Metamora arrived hero from City Point yester
day. The rebels canoe down from Petersburg with two
miserable freight care, under a flag of truce. Upon
these . care Mrs. Glreenhow, Mrs. Bailey, and ➢ire. Mor
ris, who were not a little humiliated at the carriage pre
pared for them, took passage for Eeceesia. As they
mounted the care, the rebels gave three cheers for Mrs.
Greenhow and her company. When the rebel officers
were risked what they brought down such spacious cars
for empty, they replied that they came to take the released
privateersmeu to Richmond.
Lieutenant Preston, O. B. A., was informed that these
privateeramen lisre not to be given into the charge of
the rebel Government until Colonels Corcoran, Wilcox,
Bowman, and others held as hostages, were brought forth.
Lieutenant Preston replied that these gentlemen were
in litdishury, forth Carolina, two hundred and fifty
mit, a away, and it would take several days to bring them
to City Point, and it would be hard to ask the Federal
truce boat to wait so long.
s‘ We will wait hare until they arrive, if that will bo in
any reasonable length of time," said the Federal officer
in charge of the flag of truce, and if the , hostages for
these men are not forthcoming soon, we will return t>
Fortress Monroe with your privateeremen.”
The rebels returned to` Petersburg with their three
female spies, promising to report to their War Depart
ment immediately, and return with an answer as soon as
poesible.
The rebel officers were Tory despondent about the re
cent great battle near Richmond, and acknowledged that
their low was frightful, and they also acknowledged that
their plans bad been frustrated. Their faces wore greatly
elongated about the bad news they tact recently re
ceived.
The itfaarachnsetts still lies at City Point, with the
rebel privateeremen on board, awaiting the arrival of the
released hostages above mehtloned.
OPENING OF THE PORT OF NORFOLK
Major General Dix has issued an order opening the
port of Norfolk to legitimate trade, especially with re
gard to provisions and the necessaries of life. Ice is to
be sold at the rate of one cent per pound, and other ar
ticles at the same rate for which they may be obtained at
okrronscontrort. - . he_first loacint awarted goods went
over this morning. The Union people ware perfectly
crazy when they beard this newa this morning, and the
Union feeling is already increasing.
MOVEMENTS OF OUR FLOATING HOSPITALS
The Vanderbilt arrived yesterday from the White
Ilonse with two hundred and fifty wounded and sick
soldiers. She State of Maine at‘led this morning for New
York with two hundred, and the Kennebec will sail for
Philadelphia to-morrow with three hundred sick and
wounded Union soldiers.
A REBEL COLONEL WEEPS
Col. Bretton, of South Carolina, was brought down on
the Vanderbilt yesterday, a wounded prisoner. During
the trip down be saw a wounded South Carolinian and a
Massachusetts boy suffering aide by side, engaged in an
.animated convereation. "My Gad!" exclaimed the rebel
cclouel, bursting into tears es he witnessed the scone ;
"Do you call this war? But a few hours ago," con
tinued he, "these two brave lade were engaged in mortal
conflict together, and now they are the best of friends!"
Such scenes are not uncommon—the rebels being always
surprised to observe that their wounded are so well taken
care of.
The steamboat Mystic arrived from White :House, this
morning, with two hundred - and fifty rebel commissioned
officer's captured during the recent great battles of the
Slat of May and lot of June. They will be sent North
as soon se possible. Tisey are miserably uniformed, and
but few of them have Buy marks to distinguish their
rank.
TIIE GLORIOUS NEWS

the West to General Dix last evening, and it spread.
around like wild-fire among the troops, causing the
greatest enthusiasm. The soldiers are anxious to march

BURGLARY
Last night a negro . mati who sells papers got interested
in a scheme for making a hail With an Indian hospital
servant, and the two burglarionaly entered the stare
of Nr. Bohn, and extracted from the till the sum of
five hundred dollars in silver. Suspicions were aroused ;
the parties engaged could not 'conceal their guilt when
questioned about the platter, and the money was anima=
Quently discovered in a bed-room in the Hygeht Hospital•
Thus the money was recovered, and the two servants
were sent to the Rip Haps to await their trial.
THE VERY LATEST
By the arrival here of the Ccour de Lion, Captain
Alexander Hamilton, from City Point, I have been ena
bled to converse with a number of -refugees, who came
from' Petersburg, which important place, they say, could
be taken by a single gunbeat, as there are no batteries or
troops there now at all. -
t. Tbe entire rebel army *aa moved forward to aid in the
attack upon our troops on Saturday last, and the rebels
were so sure that. they could whip General 'Cagey with
forty thousand teen, that they sent a heavy flanking, co
lumn down the Jamesiriver, which was to move nortrt
along the Ciickahominy to White House Point, ';where it
was to form a junction with the column opposed tot:easy,
and pitch halo flicelellan's flank and roar. The plan
was thus much more extensive than was at first sup.
posed.
, Great preparations were making among our gunboats:
for the reduction of Fort Darling.
Many or the poor mechanics in Petersburg ' era in a
starving condition, and longingly look forward to the
time when the flag of the' Union shall gnaranty .them
something to eat. vs_;
.Desertions from the rebel armies are ivry frequent,
and companies of cavalry Have been ordered to parole the
country for miles around Richmond to bring in these de
serters, who are leaving by scores.
7here are thonsenda of men in the rebel army before
Richmond who will surrender without a blow when op
portunity may, offer. The rebels put their best troops
and their best generals forward ks the battles of last
Sunday and Monday, and had Davis and other great
traitors to encourage them, but they begin to feel that
their cause is about played out, and there is but little use

lIISDBITAVIOR BEFORE THE ENEMY
A general order just issued from headquarters an. :
nouncea the dismissal from the service of the United
States of Second Lieutenant Oliver Walton, of Company -
Ist Massachusetts Volunteers, on the charge of mis
behavior before the enemy. Colonel Cowdin, of the sates
regiment, wee president of the court-martial, which was?
convened by order of General:Hooker. The charge was,
covalence and misbehavior before the enemy ;" butthq
courtmartial negatived the charge of cowardice, but
substantiated the remainder. The fact of the case
that on the sth of May, at the battle of Williamsbani l
Lieutenant Walton left his company, without Permission,
While the battle was raging and wont to the rear, aud
remained absent till next morning. The accused pleaded
not guilty. General McClellan, in conliraaing the Mediu'
of the court, sass
"The proceedings in this case are confirmed. The
Major General Commanding cannot, however, appreciate
the negative of any part of the charge. The very wit

is too light. The penalty for such conduct is Death!!

Many of the wounded rebels taken at Hanover on Tues
day last are now quartered in the buildings in this vici

will allow. 'Many are very dangerously wounded. The
majority were in the North Carolina troops. Nod of
them say Ulm were impressed into the service, and that
they are glad to be free once more, although wounded

i'AITHFUL TO THE LAST
There is one prisoner, however, whose case excites the

in. the thigh, and lain a very low condition. He roreast
all the offers from Secessionists, and remained pstriotic
to the last. When the Confoderite rag floated from
every other house intim town, his -own alone showed no
emblem of sympathy with rebellion. This excited the ire
aids neighbors, and they determined to force hint to so
knowledge the authority of King Cotton. Accordin
several of the wale Secessionists of the town collected at
his door and celled him out. He went. They ordered
him to wave the rebel rag which was in their poesession,

but he returned into his house, and taking down his
musket, which he. kept at band in anticipation of each
an affair, returned to' his door, and ordered the rascals
off, when they instantly dispersed, not raliehlug the show
of force by the old gentleman. For nearly a month he
was required to 'keep constant watch. The earns set,
having no reverence for age, determined on revenge, and
it was net long befOra opportnnity offered. When the
rebel cause appeared so desperate, and all classes wore
caned upon to enlist, a military company was formed in
the virlulty, and he was required to Join it. Ho openly
refuted, and it was not until he had been controlled by
force, and lathed on the back, that he took up arms and
marched for the seat of war, but with the determination
of deserting a cause so disgraceful, at the earliest roast
ble moment. No opportunity offered, and he was march
ed to Hanover, was wounded and fell Into our hands,
rejoiced at being once more under the safe care of Uncle
Sem, and hoping that be may be spared to take up arms
in defence of the Union and the old North State.
The above facts are true, and we eincerely hope that
he may survive, and recover is time to carry out his,

Charlotte. The best care is taken of him, and'hincnse is
already known among the soldiers. The marks of the
lash on his back are still to be seen. It was unfortunate
that be should have received this wound, fatal, perhaps, -
from his friends, but be utters no complaint, and bears
his pain with assumed cheerfulness.
THE. REBEL PRISONERS
The majority of those prisoners with whom a have
conversed are not the least disconcerted at their.capture.
hey say they will not again take up arms for the defence
of rebellion. They do not wish to be exchanged, except
those who havileft their families unprovided for. Sere
rat were willing to enter our army. Oat of a large num•
ber whom I asked, I found but one open-mouthed rebel.
Be said he would
.enlist again and fight ms harder than
ever, alter he was exchanged. One of them was espe
daily bitter against the rebel racers, and was greatly
excited. Be vowed , rengeance against some of their of
ficere if he ever got a sight of them. Ho looked as if he

Oar licket line remains in the same place ac far as re-
lards our right wing and centre. The left advanoing
from the dhickahominy at Bottom's' Bridge
.is being ad
vanced, and from certain indications at headquarters, I
think there will be hot work before tong but everything
Is prepared to give the rebela a thorough druhbing. As
the rebel pickets received .no amtver.to their firing they
gradually ceased the barbarous practice and there Is
oftentimes an interchange of sentiment between carious
couples.
AANCOCK'S DE.xciADE

where Ilancock , s brigade was 'the picket, one of the

turned to his post:
A GALLANT CHARGE
On Thursday night'a c.ompany of: the 43d New York
negiment were out on picket, about three-guarters of a
mile above NOW Bridge, and in charge of their, captain.
During the night the captain was very watchful, and all
went right until about ‘ midnight, when the captain spied
some' dark-looking Man ahead of him, and regarded it
with anxious eyes.. It might be a portion of a rebel
force which had mimed the stream during the night, and
Intended a surprise! It might be a rebel battery! Who
knew? After cautioning his men, he made recon
ncissance around the object, and finally ordered a ser
geant and fifteen men to charge. The order was obeyed,
and the men charged—upon a . stump covered over with
matted vines, and which the valiant captain, with.fils
cited imagination, had conjurtd into a rebel ambuscade.

1110 H WATER
The recent beery rains have caused a freshet in the
Chickahmainy, and last night the stream rose about four
feet, rendering the marshy shores almost impassable, ex
cept in a few places. Two of the pontoon bridges had to
be drawn close to the shore, to prevent them from being
carried away by the flood. In seine cases, the stream
haS the Ofloarence of a lake;the water having over
flowed the low banks, and what was once a largo clover
field la now a respectable lake.
TOE BANES OF . THE CITICICAHOMINT
On Ode aide of the Chichahominy, from New Bridge
ap, the woods extend almost to the banks, and the border
of the creek is swampy for some distance. On the other
aide of the bank it is marshy, extends for several rode,
and then gently rises to considerable height s the woods
commence at the top of the elevation, which runs inland
some distance before it begins to elope. The woods are
very dense on this eminence, and if the rebels chose they
could give UR considerable trouble in crossing i but Mc-
Clellan will doubtless outflank them. Tao only point at
which the woods extend to the stream le just above New
Bt idge, but. this will not proVe of any advantage to the
rebels. Along the edge of the aforesaid height rune a
road, and this morning a whole brigade of rebels flied
along it at quick time. Unfortunately, our guns were not
in position to annoy them ; but'a change was made, and
heavier guns sent to our front. No more rebels appeared.
A baggage wagon occasionally appeared on the road, and
a shell was always ready, but; as far as we could see, no
diunage was done.
Our artillery 61014 the creek tried the range of their
gems, during to-day, et shelling the woods on the other
side of the Cbichaliomlny, to ascertain whether there
were sny rebels within their depths. Nothing appeared
to have been disturbed by tho fire. Wherever a rebel
picket was seen during the day, there a shell was sent.
One of our pickets noticed, through an opening in the
woods, about seventy of their men, mostly lying on the
ground, in the shade. A shell woe instantly sent in that
direction, which burst aboaLten yards above their heads,
and sent them running in every ditection. The distance
was so great that it could not be seen whether any of
them were injured by the shell, bat, if there were net, it
was a very narrow escape. At New Br dge there are a cou
ple of rebel guns in position, but, thus far, we have not
succeeded in drawing their fire. It is not known why
the rebels aro so quiet, ea we have not yet had a shell
Wong the whole line above . New Bridge. It ie just as
reasonable to suppose they are preparing for al de•perate
resistance as we Met the river so that they are pre
paring to fall back. Their position, on the other aide, is
naturally' a very strong one. Before long it wilt he in
our possession.
TUE FORWARD MOVRRENT
It la not known when a general forward movemen. will
take. place. Everything is in . a state of readiness.
'Within ton minutes from the time of reception of the
older the regiment, can be in readiness to march. They
carry nothing but their haversacks and blankets, and a
regiment now requires but a small camping ground.
Each man carries a gum blanket and a woolen one; the
gum blankets form the tont!, and the woolen ones aro
wrapped around the mon. The advance may take place
at any time, but the men will he ready, and will follow
wherever their officers may lead them.
THE AMUR YESTERDAY
Reports having been circulated of repulses to our
army yesterday, and being generally credited by the
men, the following official circular was sent to each of
the regiments this morning, the regiment formed in lines
and the circular read by the commanding ealcer
"COLONEL : I would say, for your information, that
the enemy have been repulsed at every point where they
have appeared." ,
The circular was signed by the officer commanding the
brigade to which the regiment belonged.
After the reading, the men gave nine hearty cheers,
and then a tiger, for the glorious enema of our arms.
The circular was reed in each regiment successively,
and the cheering passed through the whole line from
New Bridge to near Mechanicsville. As one regimen
would finish, it would be taken np by the next in line,
and thus ended at the extreme right. What the thoughts
of the rebel° were at the time, would be hard to tell, for
the cheering could he plainly heard by them. I never
heard such hearty cheers. I have been is all lands of

[Specie]. Correspondence of The ?reef.]
GENERAL 14COLELLAN'S GEADQUARTERE,
, • June 1, 18e2. s
This Sabbath morning I was portitted to visit Me
chanicsville, the . extreme right wing of oar army. The
fight at Hanover was•ten - miles further to the right, but
this . fiandet is the right wing, as our forces have entirely
withdrawn from the vlcinitylof Hanover, and, between
here and the outposts, 'lye miles, distant on the Virginia
Central Railrolul, there are nothlisg but pickets and ve
dettes. Mechanicsville, as I wrote some time since, ii
held by a strong force, part of which is Gen. Slocum's
brigade. To name the others would be telling too much,
The 96th Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded by Col.
Henry 1,. Cake, is encamped in the very front of this po
sition, eagle the nearest regiment to Richmond of the
whole army of the Potomac, being but four and a half
miles distant. This honorable post was assigned to It
early this morning, upon its being relieved from picket
ing. It is thennly regiment of citinne of the Keystone
State which is near at hand—Col. Ball sr's 95th, a Phila
delphia regiment, being one nine in the rear, with Gen.
Stoneman's command, and Gel. Gosline's 95th, the'i Phi
ladelphia Zouavee," being two or three miles to the left,
in Gen. Newton's brigade.
At Mechanicsville, this afternoon, there was orate en
interesting time. In - front of our lines there are several
batteries, all commanding the hills and woods across the
Chlekabominy, and preventiog the rebels from destroying
the bridge across the river about 200 yards distant, which,
to their vandal eyes, whilst it remains without damage, te
a great eye-sore. About three o'clock two brigades of
rebel troops, and a long train of wagons, were espied
wending their way from northwest to southeast along
the nest of the first hill. They were two 'miles distant
front us; and cavalry men were prancing about on the
hillside, nearer the river Soon, a rebel battery came
along, unlimbered their guns, and, by theaid of a Rims,
we could amity see the gunners training their placer.
Fin being anticipated, the Federal soldiers clustered in
gionps behind their gnus, and in the edge of the . woods.
'So far as I could tell, cone of our troops were auffiolently
exposed to be visible to the enemy, strict orders being
given, and rigidly enforced, that no man should venture
beyond the shelter offordeal by the wood. The rebels
had six guns vielble, and placed them la pairs at three
different petitions, each about one hundred yards distant
from the.otber, just in front 'Of their lines. The bri
gade halted a moment, and then retired to the woods
the rear, and the baggage train whipped up
and drove swiftly scrods the open apace in front of
the batteries. They need not have hastened their pace.
Federal cannon never y.:,t disgraced the cause they
fight for, by shelling baggage trains, whatever may be
he example set them by rebel guns. In five minutes,
the last wagon disappeared behind the trees on the left,
• and at that instant two companies of infantry left oar
camp, marching at quick time down the road towards the
bridge. One turned into the field on the left, not twenty
yards from the bridge, and, presenting full front to the'
enemy, baited there. The other continued on down the
road, and stopped near the bridge, three or four noon
crossing, and boldly invading the enemy's country ' ' ,
thousands of soldiers from both armies obicdtring them
with the intenseet interest. Directly, off goes the rebel
gun, farthest to the right of the six, and a cloud of white
sou&oe flirts np into the air, followed by another, nearer
to us, from the bunting shell, whose fragments plash into
the water just above the bridge. _The lazy report comes
to us long after, such is the distance and the time taken
for the sound to travel. The gun has undershot its mark,
and the company still stands in the road, patiently
wrist Ring the pleasure of their rebel majesties on the dis
tant Off goes the middle gun of the six, and the
first gun a second time, both almost at the same instant,
the aliens curvetting through the air, one plunging into
the weeds, the'other into the water, in front of the brave
soldiers, but still flying wide of their mark, and doing no
harm, unless it bo the ploughing up of a equate yard. or
two of Virginlia; fi*.tlie barking of a few Virginia
tiers. A fourth gun 'blazes out, at the extreme left of
the battery, and then tke middle one again, and then the
extreme left a second time. All three shells falling into
the water, and htirtiging there, give the old bridge a
shower-bath. No one is hurt, and a cheer from oar
troops announces their safety.
Thee far, the game has all bsen upon one side, and our
artillerists have stood idly beside their guns, watching
the bid shooting of their opponents. The word is given,
and find on our right and then on our left Federal bull
dogs commence growling. Shell after shell goes whirring
through the air, all bursting In and over the wood into
which the rebel brigade retired. Not ono misses its
mark, and two come into rather close proximity to the
rebel batteries, They stand a moment, giving us a part
ing salute by a ball which, for all the good it did to
them, might as well have never been shot, as it burst
*hitt a mile from any Federal troops. Then they
Stopped, end never fired a shot afterward, the gunners
leaving their cannon and beating a swift retreat in the
wood. Not a rebel wee to be seen where, an hour before,
they were swarming, and for twenty minutes afterward
our guns sent shell after shell, some crashing among the
trees, some falling in the field, and some going away over
the wood, and bursting, for aught I know, at the very
fest of the astonished people of Richmond. Not a single
reply came from the rebel guns that', were mysteriously
withdrawn from sight, and the Secessionists, horse, foot,
and :dragoon, retreated from our cannon, when it small
*arty of hardly fifty men, advancing .from our. lines,
braved every shot that treason could aim at them. When
the brush wee over, and we had burst our last shell, the
two companies retreated from their position, and were .
'Warmly welcomed back to camp by their delighted
comrades. _ . .
A . PAYMASTER WITHIN FIVE MILES OP RICISHOND
jn the midst of all this cannonading, and at the very
futtheat advanced poet of our army, a civil operation
was proceeding, which, could the rebels have seen it,
would have made them admire the coolness of some of our
acts. At a table, under a tree, and within a few feet of
a battery, eat Major Charles S. Jor es, of Washington
city, who was engaged hi paying the troops. Two hun
dred thousand dollars to money and vouchers for many
thousands more were lying around him, and, ono after
the :other, he called up the officers and men, and paid
them their jalarlee fiji doing service in the Union canoe.
A rebel shell would burst; the major would raise his eyes
and Ray,' , Poor shot, that, captain; bovimuch de I owe
you ?" and then continue his calculations. A man must
have great confidence in the ability of the Federal army'
to tbue display more real money than there is in the en
tiro Southern Confederacy, almost within eight of rebel
eyes, and far within rango of rebel guns, but the pay
master know lie was in a place of safety, and a little ball
playing only gave zest to the scene. Major Jonas has the
honor of being tho only paymaster who has performed
his agreeable duty within five mites of Richmond. He
has charge of a brigade in (Ma vicinity and a regiment at
Fredericksburg, and pays every one up to the first day
of May.

[From the New York Herald.]
SEVEN Plans, June I.—Do not these simple names
call up strange visions of the old, old time, and of the
grand old race from when these simple captains have
cakne down I How the gay and brilliant Coral °told
France arises before one for it Is Impossible to associate
these men with the distinctive Orleans. Dievitab ywe
go beyond him, back to the more glorious name of the
ancien regime. Think of the descendants of Hugh Ga
ntt on a battle field—princes of that very "blood royal"
that is so wrought in the world's history! Ringo, though
without thrones, and here as simple students in the
kingly trade of war, however little it may sound and
seem like reality, there they are; and, moreover, not
only the Count of Paris and the Duc de Chortles aro
there, but there also is the Prince de Joinville.
The Prince de Joinville and Young Count
of Patis.
Wherever General McClellan rides, it is easy to slog%
out there three remarkable figures front the brilliant
group that rides near him. The Prince de Joinville is
even mote easily found than the others; he rides more
characteristically, and his dress is peculiar • lie
"slouches" loosely in his saddle, and stoops over. S. A.
B. the Count de Paris seems what he very certainly is,
a bravo gentleman and a gallant soldier. He is not a
conventional prince, nor yet exactly a conventional sol
dier. Wo see in lilm the Bayard of France's royal race,
a true knight, end the champion of the future. Hie fea
tures and figure show the German blood that comes by
hie mether. He is larger and fuller in frame than the
others, and promises to be fuller in flesh. His hair, too,
vergen'towards the German tint, and the predominant
expression on hie face is a truly German amiability and
good nature. Yet he is a true Frenchman; for, on the
• night of the battle of Williamsburg, when all near head
"quarter* were cold, hungry, and thirsty, he stood by the
Bre and nonchalantly ate chocolate, and offered a piece
to General Sumner. That, we take it, proves his Gallic
ism. Sweet chocolate ton savage, old soldier; hungry as
an earthquake.
The Due de ChaxtreS."
But of all princes tbe perfect beau ideal is the Duc do
Chartres. Be certainly realizes what bas been 'dreamed
by so many young ladies of what a perfect prince
ought to be. Peculiarly effeminate' in form and face,
with a quick, nervous manner ; courteous and brave,
and always careful to look well—a gallant Frenchman all
over, and a gallant soldier, too. He will doubtless be
remembered in the future as the beat approximation
to personal royalty thetwe have yet seen on our Bide the
water.
Whoever saw these men on this day, as, with Gon. Mc-
Clellan, they rode over the field or the Seven Pines, and
np to and into the fire, must have had odd fancies of the
topsy-turvy arrangements of old Dame Fortuae—bora
princes, with their swords out in the cause of republican
freedom and unity.

How the battle-field mingles matters, too - ! Let the

Gallantry of General McClellan.
The bridge erected by Bedgwickas corps across the
Chickahominl was swot away after the passage of Gen.
Sedgwick% division by the swollen and swift current of
the stream.. Gen. McClellan unaware of this fact dashed
with his staff up to. its former position to find it gone.
The staff stood aghast at the appalling fact. What if It
bad happened before the transit of the troops across the
swollen current to reinforce their brethren in Casey's and
Couch's despairing divisions I Nothing daunted how
ever. our idolized young Napoleon dashed into the swiftly
rziling current, through which his noble steed safely car
ried him to the opposite shore. This was not an act of
our Genet al to gain the app , aute of a multitude but one
occurring while Its was surrounded by his staff and a few
spectators, in the discharge of his ordinary , duties. and

FRONT ROYAL, June 3,1662
We have been on the march since the 26th of May. We
are now at Front Royal, where our troops were defeated
some two weeks since. For the first two or three days of
oar march we were obliged to carry our knapsacks, but
having received orders, we made a forced march and loft
our baggage behind us. WO had neither blankets nor
tents for four days—the rain poured down in torrents.
X_b_ave _never...awn ouch ltetkTy rain as in the mountains
of Virginia. We were wet through, but wo soon made a
fire end got dry again. We carried three days' rat ms in
our haversacks, and when we had the opportunity we
made some coffee. We arrired here on the let of
,June. General Sbields was in the advance. About
12 o'clock on Sunday the battle commenced some ten
wiles ahead of us. We beard the cannonading very dis
tinctly Orders were given to march, and the boys
started on a donble-quick in first-rote spirits after their
long march. Gen. hfcGowo'l was in command of the
troops.
On our way we met General Shields' division. Cheers
upon cheers from the men greeted the generals as they
passed each olber. General Shields had captured two
hundred 'limners and one cannon. We slept on the field
that night, but General Shields' division marched twenty
two miles further on in pursuit of the enemy.
On Monday, about ten o'cleck, the battle commenced
again. General Fremont attacked the enemy In front,
and General Shields attacked them on the flank. They
were utterly routed. Four hundred prisoners wash cap.
tured, and all their baggage. It was the same party who
murdered our men at Winchester. B. D. B.

WILLIAMSPORT, lad, June 2,1860
The .uncertainty add excitement of the past week has
given me little opportunity to write to you. On Friday,
the 23d instant, while Quietly reposing in the inelegant
ease of camp life, news came that companies B and G, of
our regiment, were Cut to pieces at Front Royal, on the
'Manama Railroad, which they, with the let Maryland
Regiment, were guarding. At 12 that night orders came
to retreat to Winchester, which was accomplished with
difficulty, as the enemy endeavored to cut off our train
at Newtown Near this place a panic was created among
the teamsters, caused by the enemy shelling the train,
and, for a while, it was a perfect bedlam of shouting
teamsters, roaring horses, and broken wagons. Borne of
them cut the traces, and wore hurrying off, but the
muzzles of revolvers near their heads forced them back
to their wagons, and order was again restored. Oar
forces coming up, held the enemy in chock. There was
no other alarm until near Winchester, when it wal l as.'
ported that the enemy's cavalry were in the rear. Again
the wagons flew as if Beelzebub was . after them, tearing
like lightning towards the town. Waving reached the
other side of 'Winchester, the train was 'larked in the
After taking a cup of coffee, we lay down upon the grass
and slept. We were awakened at etinriseby the lond roar
and the bumming shot and shell of the enemy, coming on
the front and left. By this time the trains were started
toward, Bunker IBM. The road wee filled with teams
tearing wildly on, cavalry flying, etc. The shotCriod'
shell tore up the earth around us. The troops were
formed in line of battle—volley succeeded volley. The
enemy swanned like bees from the woods. '
Onr force was like a pigmy, theirs like a huge giants
They were outflanking our little band, and the order was
given to retreat. Shots wore fired from the doors and
windcws of Winchester, as the scattered troops passed
through, and bottles filled with fulminating powder
thrown into the streets. The quartermaster's depot was
set on fire, and a dense smoke enveloped the city. Only
four or five were hurt in the battle, for although the ar
tillery fought for tbrco or four hours, the infantry was not
engaged for more than a quarter of an hour. The great
lose wee In the retreat, for the enemy's 'cavalry
dashed wildly after us, savagely shooting with
their carbines, and killing with their sabres.
Then commenced the grand race for the Potomac, and I
assure you John Gilpin never rode balder than did some
of the Yankee cavalry on the 28th of May. Some of
them carelessly ran our mon down. Passing through
Illartinaburg the Indies gave us some refreshments, and
our soldiers were well treated. Many of them wept as
they bid us ts goad bye" hurriedly, for the enemy's ar
tillery was yet thundering at the rear. Twelve miles
more to the Potomac. It was a weary jaunt. Beaching
the river, we lay on the banks - all night, expecting to be
attacked. Many unikers crossed over to Maryland that
night, and punished on to Philadelphia. Gen. Banks
entreated the men not to cross until he had everything
ready, and batteries planted to cover the crossing. Next
morning we all sroesed over in safety. Many horses
and males were lost while fording. Tho men crossed in
three boats or scows. Our colonel is much regretted.
COlilie Zonavea are now our guests.' A. B. B.
Gen. Fremont's March.
The march of Fremont from Franklin to Strasburg
and hot and is a most incredible one, and one that will
never be appreciated by those who have not seen an
army of twenty or thirty-five thousand men on the move.

ging, of immense pieces of artillery, with all their
heavy wheeled accoutrements, frequently requiring
fifteen and twenty mules to perceptibly move the
wheels through mountain-gorges and deep cotsi mud
boles, and ravines. But even Oils is a small part of the
moving. Subsietenee has got to he not only provided but

Ambulance', with their sick and wounded, have got to
be moved. Vousands of barrels of flour, meat, and all
sorts of commissary stores, have got to be moved also:
In a word, sit the endless- paraphernalia of tents, bag.

army, have to be moved and kept along within the pro

General Fremont bad to make his march over half a

came to time. He was bound to come to time when ho
left rranklia, if it was In the limits of human endurance
to do so. He, himself, led the advance from the start,
and with his maps and his guides piloted the way.; Mt
march was almost a second crossing of the Alps, and a
preat ilt al faster time, in proportion to the facilities at
hand, was made by him than was made by Napoleon.
Such marching is not the way, of course, to move
troops as a rule. It to killing on them, and soon uses up

report of a deserter, who came into the Union lines on
Monday, General Jackson, presuming upon his recent

Government at Hichmend,—jn reply to a telegraphic
despatch from ,Benjamin, concerning some "Proposed
