C., June 12, 1262. : The Battle of Seeessionville Although insnyorabio difficulties, apparently, moot us as a cs ri cepondent at the present time, yet, notwith standing, we shall make an effort to give yon as correc a history of the past few days as possible. On lest Sabbath night, five companies of our regiment were detaiied as picket, our lines extending within con versing distance of the enemy, and directly in front of their numerous batteries. The ground which we oecu• pied battles all description, so deep and dark end tangled wet e the woods and thickets through which we were de ph ytd. Severe' times, daring our approach, the enemy's : 'hell went screaming over us, and in ono or two instan ces they exploded directly overhead, scattering their denth.dealing fragments in all directions. Daring the wire night their vivid flash streamed athwart the heavens, and theatunning thunder of their explosion seat 'the life-blood back with a shiver from the cheek to the heart. We shall never forget our position daring that night, end we can scarcely tell which annoyed us most, the countless swarms of mosquitos, by which we were nigh well maddened, or the various deadly missiles of the enemy that from time to time came ringiug through the gloom, and crashing through the limbs and underbrush, to the lonely spot where we stood. Onr attempt to acreon curatives, from these destructive tokens of the enemy, to a quiet obterver wouhi appear ludicrous enough. Some, throwing up their hands, would dodge as from an un seen foe; some, casting themselves upon the ground, would lie motionless until the danger h scl noosed; while ethers sought such shelter as the position afforded, which was but slight ht best. Doubtlessly, the most sanguinary battle of the war, considering the umbels engaged, waa fought hero on last Monday, 16th of June. For some time we have baen expesting nu engagement with the enemy, hut nev er dreamed that it was so clam at hand, or that it would be attempted in the manner it was About four o'clock en the morning referred to, while we were Ain on picket, the advance was made; and our lines were suddenly drawn in, and we were ordered to fall in the rear of the Laplace of the regiment, which, at the time the order came, was already on the field, and tingse,ed with the enemy. In consequence of this tardy mentenvre, the picket wee unable to reach their regi nlent, and was compelled to go into the engagement pro- Mitieneuely, and many, not relialtlng this method of fight ing, did net go out at all. Perhaps, in view of the re sult, it was as well they did not; and there can be no doubt that it would have been infinitely better far our trews bad no battle been hazarded at that time. • General Benham cheeses to call it a u reconnois lasts," and hes very highly complimented our force', for their gallantry on that occasion; but it proved a very dear one tons, and that we knew nothing at all of the strength of the 'enemy's position. The troops engaged were the Michigan gib, New York Mighbtaders (79:4), 28. h Moseachneette, Connegticut 7th, and our own (the 'Roundhead regiment). The design was to storm the enenay;e works, which, by order of General Benham, was to be done by the bayonet alone—not a men being per mitted to lead his piece. Gallantly our columns swept . onward to the deapeirete charge, and advanced in the very front of the rebel batteries, whom hugs goes frowned grimly in their faces. For a time all wee silent around the enemy's fortifications—no one was to be .uelap—not a shot was fired. Bet when our forces were Wittals - ww - e.-----...af_the fort, our regiment being in the advance, a vivid atieet:or-ne,eisitsutitienly from tie ramparts, and a furious eterm of grape atitramen,._,...._ miles of all kinds were hurled with murderous effect into our rank!. Yet nothing daunted, although every dis charge maned down our men by sconces, they resolutely stout their ground, and, numbers even clambered upon the parapet, and endeavored to drive the enemy from their guns. In thia we believe we would have succeeded hal we been sappofted by our other division, which was me =Warily expected, but failed to arrive in time. After a desperate fight,. which- lasted several hours, we were forced to retire, which was accomplished in good order. Our lose le very great, amounting to about five hun dred and thirty in our own division. The total lost is probably eight hundred, or one thousand. The whsle force engaged did not amount to mere than live thonssed, consequently oor loss is almost without parallel. We had an opportunity of being over moat of the field during the engagement, 'and the cool obstinacy with which oar forces contended with the securely entrenched enemy was astonishing. We venture the assertion that no morn heroic troops ever fought; and had the ermine mot them in the fair and open felt, noteligtanding their superior numbers, we should have lAn entirely victorious—no- thing could have withttood the impetuous charge of our it nes. Alter the battle the field presented a truly harrowing scene. The dead and wounded lay thickly atrewa ovir the gory sands, while the long lines of ambulances were com ing and going continually with their ghastly burdens. To-day we aro sending the wounded to Hilton Head, while many a grave has been opened and closed over the honored dead. We have ntet with a severe repulse. Our , !reconnoissance" has cost us dearly; yotieverses will come now and them, whether through 111 management or not, it is not ours to judge. We must bring our tome• whet desultory epistle to a close. H. B. D. FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. [Bpecfel Correspondence of The Prase ] CAMP LINCOLN, Ye., June 25, 1862 The Feder& Forces at Work. Yesterday gave. us another series of furious thander steamy, most appalling whllet they lasted, most refreshing when we breathed the cool and balmy air which followed Ll~em. These storms are very common here, and are of a much more violent stamp than those summer causes to' sweep over Philadelphia. 1 have several times listened to constant thunder, and saw what seemed to be a scarcely broken flash of lightning, both lasting for a half hour. Ike a general thing, they come and tro much quicker than storms in the North, though whilst they are "passing over the rain falls In torrents. Military matters on this aide of the river aro generally quiet. Slight ektruitabee between picketoro, non/11y re sulting in ticomplete rebel discomfiture, is the winding up of each day's work. We are too busily engaged on the "parallel" to heed any taunts from the enemy, of which we once In a while have an instance In a shell thrown into camp, and picketing, digging, rind aand•bag filling is now the groat work of McClellan's army. The huge siege guns, which struck 'mai terror into the rebel army at Yorktown, are being rapidly brought in the front ea. mounted. Each of them will, no doubt, give a goad account of Itself in that great cannonade which is soon to wand the knell of the Confederates. IMPORTANT MOVEMENTS AT MECHANICSVILLE Mecßianharnile, the extremity of tho right wing of our many, a l e a point to which X always look with the greatest anxiety. The strong force the enemy has opposite to it, the heavy guns mounted on their earthworks all man. mending it, and the two bridges and easily-passed swamps all render it a most dangerous Test. Federal pickets there are always in constant fear of the enemy's shells, and the utmost watchfulness of our cannenniers is sometimes of no avail to guard against cowardly at tacks from rebel' guns, perched high up on rho Mils, or • masked behind the universal woods which fringe the crests of every rebel vantage-ground opposite that long ago destroyed town. A week ago not a single rebel dared to cross the Obickahomiuy in all that neighbor hood, and •our scouts patrolled the river bank in per fect safety. A few shells now and then, doing no da muge, but, from their notoriously bad old, only exciting derision, were the utmost to which the rebels over ven tured. Musket-firing upon us was unknowu,'and from the utter silence and lassitude of their whole force, an unmilitary judge might well have Conjectured that but a handful of artillerymen held their 'position, all the rest Laying gone away. ' Such was the extent of this quietness that a story of the evacuation of the place brought over by contrabands, ' and diligently circulated , was generally believed, and Male outside of the omniscient official circles, so often quoted by Washington despatch-writers and that ilk, had utmost made tip their minds that a safe and speedy en trance into Richmond could at any moment be effected by the Mechantcsgille road. But gray-headed military offiiirklepew otherwise. The less they could discern of 1130 enemy, the more and more precautions were taken to guard against his attempts. Ficketern wore made more watchful. Reserves wore posted closer. Battery Wan battery, brouglit from the enemy's exhaustless supply, wino placed in every spot which commanded a rebel hill ow; crossing-place. Isferything in the science of war which learned and experienced men could' devise was employed to resist any mavement, for whatever purpoie made, which might be indicated by the enemy. The usefolneis of ail tide extreme caution was soon de.. mush-fated. A forlorn hope from the Federal forces, di. reefed by a high officer, started on a datir night on as expedition of the greatest secrecy'and danger. Throagh the wet grass of the swamp, sometimes waist-deep in water, they crawled for nearly a mlle, now, back, now for ward; doubling upon and retracing their path, all the way to the river's edge. There all the trouble taken was amply repaid. A snug log-way bad been built C1C70.923 the stream, and through the gloom could. be traced until it lost itself In the dietanee. This had been one quiet porforinloce of the rebate, made right under our batteries, and in front Of our picketers, but so effectually concealed by the rank nxuri ranee of the swamp that, until the bravo party dis- . • • , .- A v l r . t ..,.. . .

POPE'S ARMY. eroveird,,it, from McClellan down, we were in entire Igno reece of its existence. Over this structure rebel scouts bad come in numbers, sprawling about on the Federal aide of the river, and correctly viewing many of onr most important movements. The newsboy crowed there with his copies of the Richmond Dispatch, and many a spy and detector had trod that timber, brimful of tbe informa ion which he could give to the Richmond conspirators. This bridge, so opportunely discovered, was built across the stream, about. a half mile below Mechanicsville. The enemy wore found fa be equally busy in other ways. A solid line of entrenchments had been built all along the hill-tops on their aide o,t the dream, and nume roue guns had been mounted them. Their pickets had been strengthened, and a balloon view exposing their camps behind the hill-tope, gave a • grand landscape of • thecamp of thousands of men. Their quietness was only a ruse, end under its cover they bad prepared on an ex- Waive scale for the Movement which Monday last brought forth. On Monday afternoon the rebels in strong force com menced throwing two bridges across the stream, and were met by a determined resietenee on the part of our • troops. When dalknees came our forces wore still there throwing shell, and the picketers were firing at the one. my. Dining the night the enemy renewed their exertions neon the bridges, but a terrific thunder-storm, precipi tating a perfect deluge upon them, it is supplesd com pelled them to lisave the work. All mnr troops for soma strategic reason were ordered to withdraw, and retreated eaetwardiy about a mile; the advance being posted on Beater Dam creek, which in a previoua letter I Wormed yoor readers was the line of battle in case of an attack; the main body resting on the Hanover road, a short dis tance to the rear. All the orders for these novementa were made by AloOlellan himself, evidently with a vim of enticing the enemy over the river, and thsn capturing a large part of hie force, as, overwhelmed by the superior number which could'be brought against him, he would vainly attempt to return over the narrow crossing places, which Rankle.; Union batteries could easily destroy. • Raw our lino of battle rests on Beaver Dam crook until it falls into the Ohickahominy, and can be effeeth ally held against any attacking force. Troops are in readiness all the way along our lines to the centre Of the army for marching up the river end Ranking the enemy's atteekirg columns. During yesterday an Oecasional shell was the only indication of a battle being hourly expected at Mechanicsville. lily distance from the place since crossing the river is too great to hear tits totted of innekt try. All the pround over which I walked for weeks is now evacuated by our troupe. The destroyed town is truly a deserted village." For a mile back from the Chicks. hominy, whole so short. a time since myriads of flatters were encamped, not a living being can now be felled. If the strategy of the commander brings the rebels over, and there is u fierce conflict, it will bring on et general battle on all eidee.

A POOR MAN'S TIIRIPTY ROMS About u mile from Woodbury bridge, and just beyond the glove occupied by General ALcOlellan, la the moat thrilty home I hove yet seen among the poor whites of Virginia. A family, having, of course; a haws full of children, live in a rather comfortable log. cabin, in the centre of a twenty-acre field. duthonsta are scattered about irregularly; all embearomed in Yi>3B and shrub berypand all betokening the careful habits of the mother. The principal part of the field is an orchard, having Borne, of the finest pt ach and apple tree,. Cows grave cm tentedly beneath them, apparently ignorant of the war which rages around their little oasis. In a fenced en 7.- closure,. garden vegetables are raised, and seem to have Wen well cared for. The owner of thts field mir,t have come from the North. There are so many little arrange ments about the buildings and grounds that one never iti Virginia, aid which are never forgotten in tho North; so many comforts and conveniences, and emir a' civilized way of building his gates and fences—that if the man is not a Northerner lie at least is a most strange specimen of a Virginian. This field has all been cleared out of the centre of a vast wood, yet every stump has been pulled out, and the land even in the orchard part, ploughed and cultivated to its greatest capacity. Two roads run along, one on:eithe r ; aide of the property, and a lace through the field, fenced by its owner, connects them. A guatd keeps watch over the safety of the household, and a white it sg waving above the roof claim' that protection which Union men Dover deny to those who deserve it. It ie a great pleasure to find such thrift in ono of tho lower cla 619 here when all around him lire in such wretch.- rdr.ete. Cleanliness and comfort seem to be usurped by the itch. Only those who have their tens and hundreds of slaves ever can boast the possession of a well-etocked, fertile plantation. Mils man is not one of these. Not a negro is near bin house, and very likely he hi km poor to own one. Every day's labor taken to prepare thatepot end keop it fertile and productive must have been the 'Wolk of his own hands, and when one man is found vio • listing the nuivershl rule of Moth, which hangs like a pall over Virginia's priispomg, I am glad to be able to name his virtues to the world J.

The Galena is not nearly so brully.lojtired as was aPflret reported, and the stamen on board are proud of her honorable scars, espe cially the ntpound solid shot In her port aide. 'Captain Jeffere politely ac,ompanied me, yesterday, to every nook and corner of the Monitor, ant wee explicit and full in hie remarks describing the hard thumps she has received. The Monitor is unscathed, but not unscarred. She bee haleteam op continually for five months peat, and is ready for action et a moment's notice. The rebels never nutria her now ; etre goes where her captain ordera her, and the rebels know her invulnerability so well that they never trouble her with heavy ordnance any mere. NEW USE FOR DUTTERUILK "We might as well be thieves as be accused of steal ing," IS an old saying and a true one. Not withstanding the fact that guards of Union troops have been placed over the property of Secessionists hereabouts to prevent depredations, Captain Uoskins, commander of the rebel post at this point, maintains that slaves, chickens, pigs, cows, and houtehold articles, have born removed from his homestead, about nine miles from Not folk, but, while ho ie willing to overlook such petty thefts, he seems almost heart. broken because 'some rebel hail walked through our fines at Suffolk and informed him that our troops bad entered his house recently, taken the top off his four-hundred-dollar piano, and poured butterinilk all over the keys I CONTRARANDIAL CIRCUMLOCUTION. It bus been said that the most relable and truthful in formation we obtain from the enemy comes from contra bands. This may be so, but if it is' we must lay it to Gen. AteOlellan's lack of a regular system of spying In the enem> 'a lines, an art with which Gen. Scott professed a great intimacy. We have trusted to contrabands in this war for much Information, which (Mould have been obtained by regu larly paid and commissioned spies. But while these ne groes hays often . brought over news prepared by rebel officers, and of nu use to us, they have Blipped off and . carried back highly important news to the enemy. An officer in the repel army whom I saw at City Point gave rue as late news from Islerfolk, sixty miles away, as I hid obtained myself going up in a fast steamboat. When I asked how he got his Information, he said that his over seer sent him the news each week regularly by one of his slaves. NIGGiRS ENOrOtt." The poor contrabands are soon every hour in the day almost, on shore, waving a white rag, and begging for deliverance from a slavery which is tar more endurable than that imposed upon the " poor white trash" of the Et nth. . These contrabands seem to think the Government has nothing to do but go up close to shore with small boats, which aro often fired on by rebels in ambush, to sure a few negroes from slavery. These men are not at work on our gunboats more than two weeks, before they will undergo any hardship or privation to get back on land again. Of late days, our man• of boats only go over and speak the crowds of contrabands as they appear on the banks of the river, and tell them that until more vessels arrive they have no use for them. If some colonization society could only send an agent to pick up thin crowds of sable men, a very considerable country might be settled with black people in a month or two, and slavery In our own land would be greatly weakened. - REBELS CONCENTRATING Jackson, ?rice, and Boanregard have ell three arrived in Richmond, and will soon be assigned to important pa onions in the army there.. 'They are to bare their ewn veteran troops with therm eome of which are hourly ar riving. The rebel leaders axe drawing all their troops to the vicinity of Richmond, with a view to making a desperate eland. 'Xbe rebel army about Richmond numbers about 70,100 effeetive men.

The grand field-day of thisd.partmekt, the event long . , locked for, and for which every soldier of the division: has been longing for a pleasant reunion, came off this af. 'ternoon. The occasion we speak of was the presentati su of a splendid award to Major Goyeral Burnside, a gift from the State of Rhoda Island. lire presentation was to have token place on the afternoon a the 19th ult., but owing to one of those pecnAar thunder-ahem:lra which, like an old maid, tura up when least wanted, it was post poned until a more.aospieions occasion, which was the day . following. The entire division was represented on the review. The soldiers from Beaufort and Port Ma • con, who are in the division of General Parke, came up to take part In the ceremonies; while the 'divisions of Foster std Reno, stationed at and in tho.vicinity of New. bern, came out upon parade with fall ranks sad stream. lug colors, to witness the presentation of a sword, which has been so gallantly and pereeveringly won, anddwhich no general has more richly deserved.

Shortly after SP. 11. the last brigade Mod into column, and General. Burnside and' his staff made 'their appearance to the right of the field. Their arrival was greeted by a salute of fifteen guns from the Marino Battery, which of itself was a feature of tho occasion.

Wo have not room for details but would say, • the speeches 01 both presentation and reception of the sword were short and to the point. The reply of General Burnside, upon the receiving of the gift, though not as brief as his famous speech (a I thank you fur the pre sent; move on, mon, move on'') was still pert and pithy, and was appreciated by all who had the good lortune to hear it. After the presentation the entire division passed in review by company front, on quicklime, the • regimental banes, emit ening the display with 'choice selections from laterite composers.

Sigel's division, has his boadquartere in an old Virginia =melon, a distance of, four miles from the headquarters of Gen Hough. The mansion is of stone, two stories •high, and was built some Hme near the year 1781. The hones is large and epacious, containing very wide with innumerable large rooms on each side. the walls and the ceiling, which is very high, were painted, and around the tops were rows of cornices. The Carving work is Splendid, and is all cat out the amid board, as if by a knife. Each Tooth contains belle and other im provements on a scale that would do justice to one of our Philadelphia mansions. The building contains four pcir- Hew, from all of which age has removed the steps. From old books found on the premises, Gen. Cooper . infers that it wee built in 1781, and doubt, in habited by one of the P. F. V.'s who lived at that time. The house was at onetime eituated in the midst of a farm, two or three miles winare, which had been ander a high state of cultivation. .5 rormd the house were numerous flower gardens, and the old carriage drives may yet be seen.

This gallant body of men bas lost so heavily in previous battles std by illness, that it mustered for Wednesday's fight only fourteen hundred men. Grover's brigade to composed of the let Massechusetts, Col. Cowdln ; the 2d New Bampthire, CoL Gilman Marston; the 26ch Pena sylTentia, temporarily commanded by Lieut. Col. of the Ist Massachusetts; the Manschusette 11th, Col. Wm. Blaisdell, end the Massachusetts 16th , Colonel Wyman. 'this bilged° mustered about f,ur thousand men for duty. THE ONDSD 91' ovn ADVANCE. At a little before 8 A. M. the word was given," and these two brigades weaved forwited, eicklost" line was formed across! the Williamsburg road, and he advanced in the dire ction of that thoroughfare his Bacon,: nt on his right, the fourth next to it, and both these regiments on the right of the Williamsbttrg road. To the left of the road, in the order in which they aro named, the fifth; first and third were formed. Sickles' left stretched about three hundred yards to the left of the road. Hrovesis line joined on to Sickles' left, and was formed •,cf the let Illaszachneetts on the right, add the . lleh liweachusetts on the left. His other regiments were at hand ready for nee anywhere. As the line moved out across the field that lay between the point where they had been drawn np and the wood, it presented a beautiful spectacle. Tho of the uniforms contrasted with the brilliant green of airfield ; the light reflected from Umpire barrels in a silvery sheen, and their glorious standards blown out in the breeze, gave the whole scene the gaiety.and show of a Fourth of July ramie. CINDER FIRE--TRE DIFFICULTLES OF THE 3rAUCEI. In a few In. ineuts, the whole line disappeared is the secede, Staley' part of 'it more slowly than the other, for the left of his line had to move through an abatis that wee very difficult, and was thus detoined. Through this means, MIIO d broken, m regularity of his line was bken, sod it did not got into action so soon. Only a few moments had elapsed after the disappearance of Grover, when a rattling tire told that be bed reached The enemy'e pickets, This little fare continued for only a few moments—rattled ra pidly once, twice, thrice up and down the line, and was over—and Grover went on. The enemy's outer lino was driven in. Slowly and caution, ly toe advance was con tinued. GROVER GOES ON WELL. When the pickets were driven in. they formed on the picket reserve some distance in their rear, and after some little delay, with difficult ground and necessary elu tion, Grovei's skirmishers curie upon their second line.. They dispultd the ground tenacionely. Nearly all their front appeared to be held' by North Carolina troops, 'which have been found to be by far the best and bravest troops of the fouthetu Confederacy. These fellows stood to their poste and kept up a rapid and accurate fire that galled cur line fiercely, until they wore fairly driven back in rout by Groyer , esteady advance. TEE ENEMY'S MAIN 130 DY. Tbo stout resistance of these pick-eta gave ample time for the . formation of Bill's division, to which they be longed, and which is made up in great part of North Ca rolina troops. Title division, supported by the division of Genetal Roger; now advanced to meet our line, and in a little while the ball was fairly opened. So rapid was the rattle of the fire at•thie thus that the sound seemed to be without cessation—without passe or interval—one con tinuous rattle of rifles. This fire was very severe, and wounded men now began to find their way to the rear— some on stretchers, others leaning on the shoulders or a comrade, and others again, with a brerie pride, deter mined to help themselves and "go it olone.'., THE HEADQU L..RTBEtS _ . I- Inge ef f al z ni n are Yair lti",Weivfo point were used es boepttalv, and numbers of the wounded ' were laid on the ground in the oak grove that gives name to the locality. There msey wounds were dressed, and the soldiers made comfortable, and there also many a gallant fellow breathed his feat. More commodious hos pitals were mtablishedfartlor back, and the timbularces ysfieed hastily between'field and camp with such good ef fect that the Wollt tied men were all cared for with admi rable despatch. ' • • - SICKLES' .FROZiT Gen. Sickles did not become engaged as won as Gen. Grover, and when the very heavy fire was heard on the faVer's front, the Excelsior Brigade was atill only under the irregular pietet nre of the enemy's outer Ilne By degrees, as they advateed, this lire became hotter, and it broke into tho rattle of several thousands of 1 . 11%,—a fire fully as lateuse and severe us that on the left. Oa Stellate (rout it wits atraigatforward work. Ha had only to keep hii men up to it and push on ; and this was gallantly 'done. MEM= When Grover advanced his line it was understood that Heaney's line, which joitied Booker's at' OM point, was to have been advanced alga; but, as it did not keep up, Grover position became dangerous inn in proportion to hie apparent stircesC; for hie flank was left exposed to the attack of the rebels, who tilled the,woods.in front •of Kearney. To guard against mbhuips in that quarter, and tovetablieh the connection with Kearney, he threw out on Id s left five comptivieS of the Massachusetts ldth, which regiment was held in reeerve At about the name time, se the the continued terribly severe in front, he placed a battalion of the New Hampshire 2 , 1 on hie extreme right, to strengthen hid connection with Sickles' left, and placed the remainder of the same regiment be tween the Meesachneetta let and 11:11, where there was some appearance of weaknees. Thus strengthened In front, and provided against attack on his dank, he went on. KEARNEY COMES 17P Berry's brigade coon began, however, to push forward on Grover's left, drove the enemy rapidly and easily be fore it, aLd advanced until they completed the line from Grover's left. Robinson's brigade (late.,yameaa a to was suluquently. pnebod in between Berry's and Grover's, and continued the movement. But the enemy was not at any time in great force beyond Grover's left, so that the fight in that direction was not severe. A STAND-STILL At half past nine our line was brought to a stand still. It was evident that the enemy was in great force along the whole line. Near that hoar the 9th New Jersey was sent out as a reserve to Sickle?, the 2tl Nevi York to to. Moir.. his advance, end a regiment of Sedgwick's divi sion. The 19th blaarachueetta was pushed in on his right, so to extend his right to tho railroad. Still, with occaelonel intermissions of comparative quiet, the fire raged aiotg the whole front of the two devoted hri gar es, and seemed oven to rage with intenser fury as 'it approached the road on which the Excelsior Ilrigada bad advanced. STEADY! During this hard-fought hour our men had not flinched' at all. Every one toed the mask resolutely, roads to do what be came for. These was not a straggler to be seen, and thaw even who helped the wounded off the field helped then, only to where they could get better help, and then went back. Gloriously does the conduct of these two brigades speak the praise of those gallant of ficers who have made them soldtergand filled them with the sOldier , e spirit, and especially, does their good con duct on this day redound to tho 'honor of that noble old veteran General Hooker. TUE ItsßELs nnzAK. Steady purpose prevails. When the rebels found that our tiro s Wt.TO not going to give way coder any circum stances they concluded to give way themselves. Their disposition to do d • first appeared is front of Grover. It Was hailed with a hearty cheer by our boys, who pushed ahead, and, now that the machine was fairly started, went on with a rush. In a few minutes they broke out into the open field, and the object was so far Rained at that point. A battery was sent down to Kearney to play on the enemy's flank and shell the masses iu retreat. NOT SATISFIED YET Grover was not, however, permitted to hold the ground he bad gained in quiet. An attempt was made to dis lodge him by a body sent to reinforce those proviouely driven out A bard light cinsind, and the attempt was repulsed. RIRKEY REINFORCES SICKLES Bert while the enemy were thus driven on the loft, the right did not get along as well. There the enemy's whole available -force seemed concentrated in one endeavor to bear down the gallant Excelsior Brigade. Reinforce ments were ordered there immediately, and Birney's brigade went up the Williameburg road at the double-- Quick. As these regiments filed on, cheered by thode they paned. a chorus of responsive cheers arose from Grover's brave fellows away off on the left, as they drove the enemy before them. Sickles' boys took it up in turn and mode a stouter push at the foe. Everybody seemed exhilarated at the sound. Orderly after orderly rushed in to tell how Grover was driving them, and others to say that Sickles could bold his ground till Biruoy could reach him. THE ORDBR TO RETIRE Victory sat upon our banners. Wo bad the enemy ful ly Started, and could have driien him any distance. In at at this excitingjancturathe order was received from general headquarters to w withdraw gradually to theorisi ng' iv)." They alone who kit mv how brilliantly the first dawn of victory beams upon the battle field can appre ciate the gloom this order cast on every spirit; but it had to be obeyed, and was disseminated. It was hard to credit the news from the tongues of aide or orderlies; • but it was soon verified, and the men were withdrawn. They all believed that we were beaten on some other part of the lino, and that we had gone too far.abead for safety, and all retired in good order, and took up the line in the edge of the woad nearest to camp. This was about half past eleven A. M. GENERAL 3PCLELLAN'S ARRIVAL General McClellan and staff rode upon the field at 1 P. Id., escorted by Captain Iffcintyre's equedron of regu lar cavalry and the Ist Regiment New Pork' volunteer cavalry, Colonel Mcßeynolds. Re made his headquar ters at Fair Oaks, where. Beintzelman's had previously been; and there drew around him all the sources of in formation that such occasions furnish. ANOTHER ADVtYCE ORDERET All were then In amazement at the recent unaccounta ble order; bur i e soon saw how affairs stood, and or dered, very - shortly after, that the same advance should be again made. The order was weal ved with joy on every band. All wee again activity and spirit, and every one prepart d to do the thing over again as bravely as if they bad never been compelled to rein:l4llllsk the once almost gotten prize. Once more they went forward in the same order in which they bed already domino well. Grover, on the left, got it first again, and rattled away but the resistance , there was rot eo tenacious as it had• been, and be pushed through, still finding, however, etiongh resistance to keep. up' the interest. Rearney:,on the extreme left, found, also, no great resistance; but ou the Williarahurg road, he front of General Sickles, the fighting was' birder than ever. There the enemy had evidently gathered a strong • totes, and he 'teemed determiner:llo hold that point at every hazard. Shadily and accurately as 'the battle trained boys of the Escalator Brigade deliyered,thelr tire, eHll they made no permanent impression. The places of tbeise who fell on the rebel aide were again filled, and the enemy was Mill there.. For nearlythree-quirthere of-en hoar the betel are was continual at this point. TWO CENTS. REINFOP,CESfENTS Thus the battle stood a little after two o'clock. when General J. N. Painter's-(leto Deven'e) brigade, of Couch's division, wee ordered up to support Sicklee. The vigi lant arid over-ready commander of the Fourth corps hal put Couch's division under arms when the Bring first beceine.werni on the left, and they bad awaited their chance till now. They went up the road handsomely, the Alaine.chusettsllOtb, commanded by Lieutenant Colo nel Decker, in advance, followed by the Rhode . laland 2d, Colonel Frank Wheaton i the New York 30th, Colonel Lines, and the Illeasschusetts 7tb, Col. Russell. OUR ARTILLERY OPENS,. OUT WITH BAD EFFCT. At the same time Battery D, let Pew York Art Mary, (four rilled piers), Captain T. W. Osborn, wan ordered up the Willionisburg road to shell the woods beyond our advance. 11 was exyected that they would throw shell directly over our advancing line into the enemy's lino. and into his camp beyond. This is always a perilous at tempt. Shells sitter fall false, or the distance is miscal. rotated, and misfortune ensues. So it did In this case. Several of Captain OsborMs shells fell false, and exploded in ti e rear, and even right in the ranks of our men. By title mean : tfl Fis Balm set te 7th, which was deployed in the woods as thirmiehers, lost several men, and by one of these shell° utenant Bulioek, of that rerAneut, re- Ct IVt4l a wound which will Ocnbtless prove fitial.

Wesleyan Female College To the Editor of Tile Press: Sin : I am aware that the most absorbing topic of the day is the state of the country, and that your columns, Mr. Editor, are crowded with news from Washington and the army; yet there are other in terests that will survive the present contliot far more peaceful, and yet, perhaps, of equal potency, which the press can legitimately subssrve. Will you, then, allow me a little space to report to your numerous readers the results of a late visit to the Institution above named? The Wesleyan Female College, located at Wil mington, Del., is a chartered inatitution, under the patronage of the nhilauelphia and New Jersey Con ferences of the .51. E Church. While kindred insti tutions have been obliged to suspend operations on account gf the disturbed condition of the country, this has maintained its position, and continues to dis pense its blessings. The president, Rev. John Wil son, A. M., with a itoat efficient corps of colaborers, has stood up manfully amidst the storm that has swept from the field so man similarly engaged. It was my good fortune to be present on Tuesday last to witness the examinations, and on Wednesday evening .the commencement exercises, and am happy to say that, on each Bay, there was " a feast of reason and a flow' of soul." In the classes, the examinations gave indubihiblo evidenea that the teacher's were competent, and had been successful in imparting instruction, while the pupils reflected back the light they had so generously re ceived to the credit both of themselves and their guides. The graduating class was not large, but what was lacking in number was more than compensated by the charaoter of the compositions, to which a very . crowded audience listened with thrilling interest, till eleven o'clock at night. To say that all the graduates alike succeeded would be extravagant; but certainly some of them exulted, and all of them acquitted themselves oreditably. The music was superior, both instrumental and vocal; and the specimens of painting, in different styles, with which the walls of the spacious collage ball were orna mented—all the products of pencils wielded by the pupils—:evinced decided talent, alike creditable to the accomplished teacher and the members of her elms. There was nought to mar the pleasur e of the evening, unless we :except the inability of one of the graduates tb read uninterruptedly her compo sition, in consequence of indisposition. That, how ever. was compensated by the patriotism it breathed all through its ptetic strains, and especially in the latter part of it, which she was enabled, after a brief rest, to read.
