: 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

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.

[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.

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

wino placed in every spot which commanded a rebel hill

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

OUR FLEET AT CITY POINT.
MOVEMENTS OF GEN. 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

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.

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

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

asked how he got his Information, he said that his over
seer sent him the news each week regularly by one of
his slaves.

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. -

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 •

to take part In the ceremonies; while the 'divisions of

has been so gallantly and pereeveringly won, anddwhich
no general has more richly deserved.
The order for the review stated 4 P. IL, and soon eter
t? at time the different regiments commenced to arrive
upon the field, and take up their relative poritiWns in line
of review. 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.
The General, followed by his. staff, leek his position
near the centre of the Said, and the troops being formed
• around the stand of presentation, the ceremonies pro..
'seeded. 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

Governor Stanley made a grand speech' at Washing

Gen. Cooper, commanding the First brigade of Gen.

hones is large and epacious, containing very wide

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

RICHMOND.
WHAT WAS GAINED BY IT.
CENERAL NeCIELLIN IN TEE FIELD.
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.
&c., &c.
Wednesday, JUDO 25, was signalized by another glo
rious struggle between the rebels and the Union troops,
in which the latter were twice victorious. About silt
thousand of our men on that day encountered two divi
sions of, the rebel army, a short distance beyond Fair
Oaks, and drown them back a mile. .
•
But littl e artillery was employed, and the casualties
are, therefore, not so numerous as might be 811110088 d
from the duration of the fight. As the artillery that weft
need was mostly ours, the enemy's lees is doubtless con.
siderably heavier than our own. Ours will perhaps reach
the neighborhood of eighty killed, cud leas than two han,
dred'wounded. •
OUR OBJECT
It sbonld be clearly underatood what this partioulsi
fight was for. It was a fight for a position—s deter
mined straggle for a piece of ground which it was deemed
nectimayy that we should Imre and hold," This piece
of ground is barely a udby beyond our former line, and.
we bare it and hold It.
I=l
The field on which the battle of Pair Oaks or Seven
Pines was fought is bontded on the side towards Rich
mond by a line of woods. This wood extends on either
tide or the Williamsburg road for a mile, and beyond it is
a piece of open country. Oar outer pickets have been
hitherto posted in that edge of the wood which is ferthost
from theencred city, and the line of rebel pickets wad
dote n only a little farther in the woods, and 30'11816' fei
our line that the mien could talk to one another. It .ap
peared to tt well understood that any further advance
on our pate would Wing on a general engagement' and
in that view, cur line was kept statio.nerr. hot finally
it was dame& secessary that our pickets alonld be post
ed at the other edge of the wood.
woo FOBBUT TEE BATTLE?
Two brigades of Booker's diviston—Groyer's and
Blokels'—d id nearly all the work, though some other bri
gedee were slightly. engaged before the day was over.
Bickel& brigade is COMPOIN dof tho five ‘r Excelsior Ba
gimeuts"—the 70th, 71st, 72d, 73d, and 7411 s New York.
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.'.,

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

ysfieed hastily between'field and camp with such good ef

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

In at at this excitingjancturathe order was received from
general headquarters to w withdraw gradually to theorisi

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

cavalry, Colonel Mcßeynolds. Re made his headquar

also, no great resistance; but ou the Williarahurg road,

ever. There the enemy had evidently gathered a strong •

every hazard. Shadily and accurately as 'the battle

enemy was Mill there.. For nearlythree-quirthere of-en

Thus the battle stood a little after two o'clock. when

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.

Several of Captain OsborMs shells fell false, and exploded
in ti e rear, and even right in the ranks of our men. By

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.
It requires no prophet's eye to see in the coming
future how ench an institution will contribute to the
unity and stability of the great American Republic.

closing at the latter figure. There were Tower offerings
to-day and less excitement. The advices from New York
conc e rn ing the importations of American stocks from

The New Turk Evening Post of to-day says
The stock market le rather tame today. ericee are
barely steady, and there is bnt little activity excepting in
Toledo and Rock Island, which are in good demaod at
full yrices. The heavy export of specie, together with a
mole active inquiry for money, checks the upward ten
dency.
Nearly all the sales of. New 'York Central were at 03
which is the eloping price since t , e Board.
The bond market is steady, though the humps of the
Chicago and Northwestern fell back 101,34 per cent.
from the recent large advance. All the leading mort
gop es are scarce and firm. Erie bonds are better.
Governments are firm, at full prices. The registered
sixes rose X per cent., the 7 30 notes %.
Money is dearer, and considerable business is now
done at 6 iP cent. on first-clam collateral', though in
some qnarters there is still a god supply at 6 49' cent.
Loans at 404 X 49' cent, ere altogether exceptional, as
setsX IP cent. can be obtained on good security, such

The feature of the day in money matters is the large
export of gold, amounting to nearly three millions of
dollars. The business for to-day 's steamers in gold and
exchange bas been perhapt the heaviest since ISSB and
1859, when the Persia in one trip took ont 63.000,009.
