TUESDAY, JULY 8,1862. OUB ARM! CORBISPOIDINCI, THE PENNSYLVANIA RESERVES. [Special Correspondence of The Press,] Is Camp os tbb James River, ) Ju1y2.1862. J THE BATTLE OF WEDHESOAY AT MECHAHICSVILLE. On the 25th of June the first of a series of con flicts, ißSting over seven days, eommenoed near Meoboniosville, four and a half miles from Rich mond. On that day General Reynold’s brigade was stationed near tho village mentioned. The first in timation ef the approaoh of the enemy was an im mense cloud of dust rising over the trees. At 2 o’clock the -third brigade, General Header was ordered to hold itself in readiness to support Rey nolds. The order was received with oheers by the men, and in one hour we were on the march. We proceeded about one mile through a piece of woods, and then across a level plateau exposed to a fire from a rebel battery on the south bank of the Cbickabominy. We lost no men, however, keep ing elosa together, and came to the front at five o’clock. Here the first and third brigades were engaged till night closed around us. This oonfiiot gave the Reserves confidence in themselves, and they acted splendidly for men who were under fire for the first time. We rested on our arms till one o’clock in the morning, when an order was given for hs to fall hack by the road leading by Dr. Gaines’ house, and that a new tine would be form ed, with the .'left resting on the Chickahominy. Easton’s battery had kept up a steady fire all night, by the flasbestof the enemy’s guns. THE BATTLE OF THURSDAY. At daylight; on the 27th, wo were ready to fail babk, and did so, one regiment acting 03 a rear guard. We brought all our- ammunition train and artillery awaycwith us, and marched in column without confusion. About eleven o’clock we pame to the rear ,of Dr. Gaines' house, and took up our position, planting our batteries. Here wo re mained till four o’clock in the afternoon undis turbed. Firing was then commenced by the enemy on onr right and left, the rebels being in the woods. At half pastfonr, the Second Brigade] under Gen. Meade, went into action with loud cheering. It was indeed an exhilarating sight. The firing had now become general along the line, and the 4th Regiment, under Col. Magtiton, was placed id po sition on the right of Gen. Butterfield’s brigade*, and remained there a short time, when tho 3d Re giment, Col. Siokeis, from Bucks oouuty, took their. place, and the 4th acted as a reserve. The 7(hand 11th Regiments then took position in the rear of Col. Woodbnry’s 4th Michigan. The 7th was sent to Gen. Butterfield. Col. Siokeis’ regiment waited two hours and a half under fire, till all. their am munition was expended. Not a man of them wa vered or movedfrom his post.; The first intima tion we had of any retreat, was a few companies failing baok on the left. At dusk the whole line was withdrawn. Every prisoner we took said in effect—“ Why do you fight us ?wo have ten men where youhave one, and we are sure to whip you.” In orotßing a small creek, where there was only a bridge eight feet wide, and the men being forced to wade through the water and marsh; the compa nies got (pretty well mixed up. At this moment, Meagher’s Irish Brigade came up, and I heard him say, “ Steady now, boys; display the green flag.” W e received them with oheers, and immediately afterwards a report was circulated that MoCletlan was in Richmond, which caused ah intense exoite ment along our lines. Our regiments were rapidly reformed, and, as soon as it became dark, the whole command was withdrawn over the Chicka hominy" by 'the Wtggibury bridge. The last we' saw of the 11th Reserves, Col. Gallagher/they were fighting, completely surrounded by rebel troops. Of this regiment, only die company has escaped. On the 28th, we went into camp one mile from Woodbury .Bridge. A HARROW ESCAPE, Daring the night, General McCall, attended by a fewoids, rode np to a house that had been oeou pied as a hospital, and which they supposed was still in our possession. A sentry hailed them, and receiving an answer that it was General MoCaU, fired bis musket at the party. This was succeeded by a volley in the same direction,,but the General and his companions rode off unhurt. ON FRIDAY, We received orders to more again at daylight. Our wagon-trains were placed in order, and we took up our Hue of march for Sayage’s Station, on the railroad, which we reached in the morning. Here General McClellan passed through our lines, and was received with vociferous oheers. We finally bivouacked on the Charles City road, at White Oak Swamp, i. • THE BATTLE OF WHITE OAK SWAMP, The next morning we were notified to be in readi ness for battle, and marched into an open plain and formed in line with our batteries in position. The men rested there till 12 o’clock, when we heard Hooker’s and Kearney’s Artillery opening, a long distance from us. At 4 o’clock the 'fight commenced, previousto which I saw Generals Mc- Call, Hooker, Meade, and Kearney all collected together in consultation. At this time Rush’s Lancers and the 3d Regiment were in our front, but they wore soon driven in. Our artillery was quiet till .the enemy oame within 200 yards of us, when we. opened fire with great effect. They then attempted to make a flank movement, but we kept them in front of us continually. Finding our artillery playing on them with such effect, they halted .one moment and then ran into - the woods. The last man we saw was a color hearer, and strong efforts were made to bring him down, but he escaped with his flags. After a long delay we found that they were coining out of a ravine on our right, and the 7th was sent into the woods to head them off, but did not succeed. At this moment the shel la from the gun boats began to fly over our heads into the woods beyond—one of them fell short and killed seven of ourownmeri. The7th was withdrawn from the front. During this notion, General Meade was everywhere at onoe. .The rebels came up in spite : of our fire, even to the cannon’s mouth. .Then Gen. McCall gave the order for us to charge bayonets on them, and we did so, driving them like sheep. This bayonet charge Ihave described elsewhere. I saw three New York regiments at this time coining up the road on the double-quick, but where they went I cannot say. It was now dark, and the enemy had left us in possession of the field, and our weary men lay down - to rest not knowing how soon the -.conflict woold be renewed: At 8 o’clock General Seymour said' ho would lead us against the enemy again, but in reality took us towards the James river. This order was intended to revive the sick and wearied.,, As an instance of General Meade’s coolness, I saw him eoolly light a cigar while the shot and shell were flying all arohnd him. I notiood that the rebols fired much, quicker than our men, and discovered that it wsb from their using Enfield rifles, in which the cartridge did not require to be rammed home or torn, but were sent home by striking the butt of the rifle on the ground. Nearly; every prisoner we took was intoxicated, and many ef them looked very crest-fallen when sobered. IN TUB FRAY. I find it almost impossible to give you my im pressions of this fearful scene. Our men had been wearied ont by the incessant fighting of the last fe w days, and the anxiety which attended the move ments of the different divisions of the army. The camp was filled with rumors. Some said that Mc- Clellan had gone to Richmond; another that we had captured Stonewall Jackson, while the third gave us the gratifying intelligence that the whole army of Johnston and Lee had been captured. At the same time, there was a general feel ing of dread and ' anticipation. The rebels, it. was said by. all, wore in overwhelming strength. Every, sound that oarno over the; intervening ground told us of rapid movements, busy preparations, nnd constant vigilance of the daily life of a multitude of men. General* Rey-; nolds’ brigade was placed in reserve to support the brigade of GeneraVMeade, and the duty as signed to them was that of repelling the advance of the rebel army upon the main body of McClel lan’s forces. . . The day was very warm, clouds of dust filled tho air, and I could imagine nothing more intolerable or disagreeable than that Monday morning. AH night we bad been alarmed by picket firing and im . terebange of hostilities, frequent orders to prepare against surprise or form in line of battle. We took a hurried breakfast and a scalding cup of coffee, and with the gathering hours of day the sign 3 of a conflict became every moment more inevitable. Our men were formed in line of battle, and we stood in open ground. General Meado, accom panied by his aids, Lieutenant William M. Wat mough and *J, Hamilton Kuhn, was riding along the lines, coolly smoking a cigar, keenly observing ihe distant woods, and occasionally sending ono of his aids to communicate some mysterious order* to some distant part of the field. I may be permitted to state, on the authority of a well-founded rumor, that the cause of this movement, on tho part of Major General McCall, was tho reception of an order of General McClellan, directing him to move his whole division over to the banks of the, James river. But of this I shall speak more par ticularly, my business is now the soene before me. And a brilliant scene it is. Wo are all anxious, , csgerly expectant. Easton’s battery, seen a few rods above with the 4th Regiment of Reserves, the PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 8. 1862. guns unlimbored, the oannoniers waiting the signal, while the captain is anxiously looking for the ap pearance of the enemy. Further below us is a ra vine, and sharp eyes think that they can see the glistening bayonets and the movement of a, line of black caps. Gen. Meade sends an order to the captain to throw a few shells into tho ravine. A moment more and the sharp sound of artillery breaks upon the ear. This gives meaning to the scene, more particularly as wo see that tine of shin ing steel and black caps come up from the ravine, and out of tho wood, moving up the hill slowly, shoulder to shoulder, step keeping step, and their hateful colors borne above them. Then they seemed to see onr front; then they began a Sank movement, as it were turning on the rim of a wheel, straggling men keeping up the line of maroh, con stantly firing. The battery played upon them, but it seemed their fire was altogether directed upon the horses. Colonel was posted on the brow of the hill, the Colonel with his quiet, genial, imperturbable manner, which did not for sake him even~amid the strife and carnage, moving around among the troops engaged and encouraging them. His horse had been Bhot, but, covered with grime and dust, he moved about sword in hand. The fire became 'incessant, rapid, and ceaseless; the rebels drew nearer and nearer. That steady line of tho Pennsylvania Reserves fired volley after vol ley, until the air seemed to be but an echo of re verberating sounds, and the heavens became black . with the smoke. The oarnage must have been fearful; gaps appeared in the advancing rebel line] only to he filled up by new men. and the line steadily marched over ridges of the dead and dying. Sixty rounds were fired, and the regiment retired to obtain ammunition, while another regi ment took its place, The rebels still oame nearer, shots grew more and more frequent, men became, wild with esoitement, officers shouted, the wounded’ were hastily carried away—all this running to and fro, and all this in less time than I have taken to write this line. Still the long line came nearer, so near that I am confident that if I should meet with some of the ! faoes I saw that day in gray uni-' form, my memory is distinct enough to enable me to recognise them. No time must he lost! General Meade rode up, saying, Men, you have* done nobly; you have covered youreelves with glory; you could not have pleased' me better.” He asked Colonel Siokeis ‘■whether his regiment might not be relieved? whether his men were not badly out up ?” The Colonel in his quiet way replied, “ Well, the boys arc good enough for another turn, yet ” The Gene ral then asked the Colonel if he could not give them a bayonet charge, “I think wo can,” said the Colonel, “ although wo are very tired,” and in a moment more the order was given “ charge!" I can think of nothing to describe this scene. Like a flash of lightning—the twinkling of an eye—it was but;a moment and all was over. Along the slope they ran, the men shouting; presently the steel grappled, a sharp tussle, a ringing, dull, and heavy Bound, it sounded strangely in the lull of the mus ketry; a few mote groans of the wounded and dying, and the shout of triumph broke oxultingly upon the ear. The enemy could not stand the strong arms of the Union soldiers, and they fell back in dismay, our men rapidly pursuing them. This was by ail odijp one of the most exoiting, briefly-contested episodes of tho battle; and the gallantry and coolness exhibited by those engaged in it deserve loftier praise than I could bestow. THE BETREAT THROB6H THE WOODS. We had accomplished our mission. We had held the rebels at bay and prevented them from throw ing their foroe upon McClellan’s exposed column. Our grand old division was severely shattered, company, and regiment; and even brigade organi zations were demoralized and extinguished, and we slept upon the field, and in the woods: beyond. It was a sweet sleep, but before tho night had far advanced an order oame from General Sey mour to form in line and prepare to. attack the enemy. As wo all learned subsequently; this was a mere ruse, in order to getthe men to gether to march beyond tothe Jamra river. It had the: desired effect. Every man roused him self; the wounded rose, and, disowning their wounds, seized their muskets. Silently they marched along under the gloomy night, not a word being spoken, through the woods and by fields, and over dry and dusty roads, now through uuderi brush, and among the tall, rank, swamp grass. Now and then we heard sharp musketry in our rear, and under the: apprehensions of a rebel assault our column would halt and lie down. In some plaoes, when passing by the field ef Pair Oaks, we were compelled to pass over spots where the dead had been buried, and the odor was offen sive and intolerable. The morning came, and it Was impossible for us to tell exactly where we were. Our leaders knew, and we were satisfied. Patient ly and silently we had kept our weary way. At last we saw a battery. Perhaps it was a rebel bat tery, and some grew timid. Yery soon, however, we saw a small guidon fluttering in the air, and with tearful eyes we recognized our glorious standard. ■... THE ABMV OF THE POTOMAC A little farther on and: we saw the encampment of McClellan’s army. It presented a beautiful sight, and seemed as fresh and buoyant and full of spirits as though it had not but lately passed through battles, harasring inarches, and fearful contests. , The river was just beyond, and the gunboats were steaming : around in the stream, occasionally throwing a shell ih the supposed direction of the rebels,-and covering our army from any - attack. As I went down the road, I saw General McClellan. He was on his horse, conversing with an officer. As I passed, he mentioned “ Sumqpr’s corps” in a fragment of conversation, and laughed quite cheerfully. He wore that oalin and self-possessed express'oh I have seen upon.his face, feeling satisfied that he had done his duty and: deserved well of his country. As we passed by him, wo gave vent to our feelings in loud cheers. - w WHAT WE DID, Let it be'said, to the honor of McCaU’s division, that it brought every wagon and team from the field of its bivouac—that nothing was lo3t. Nor can I re&ain from paying a compliment iu this con nection to Capt.

LETTER FROM NASHVILLE. (Special,Correspondence of The Press.]- j "j ' * Kashvii.i.k, Tonn., July 3,1562. Fourth ol July. In all probability, to-morrow there-will be one of f the most hearty celebrations that ever occurred in Nashville; and . despite the rebels, there will be a profusion of patriotic expressions within and with out the city limits; In order to attract the folks from the city, the leading Secessionists have been active in getting up a multiplicity of pio-nios, to take place in the suburbs pbnt it is intimated that, the companies at: these places must conduct them selves a hule : like patriots, or something may transpire not in the programme. Your correspon dents here will circulate freely, and, at the termi nation of the celebration,jrill immediately transmit a succinct dsMripUon'itf.'Jbßraf of July in.; N^h-. villo, 1562, besides saying a word or two about the, same dato, 1861. ■ * TUB WAR NEWS IN NASHVILLE, Upon the reception of the distressiogiy-compli cated report of the late battle before Richmond, which came to hand on Tuesday evening last, went up a, hurrah from rebel groups. The rebels uni versally hailed the * news as a great defeat to the Federal foroes, and wore most bitter and sarcastic in their conversation with Union men. It made me sick to.witness the contemptuous exhibitions of , those who are too wily to commit gross acts. The report of the battle was indeed a puzzle. It ; gave, birth to graye apprehensions* of tremendous' loss of life, not of defeat ; and I must confess the patriotic portion of the community awaited: the reception of later nows with, feverish anxiety. With the news came a cheering editorial in the Louisville Journal upon the subject; likewise the Express, from the same city, was received- con taining remarks'editorially upon the late battle. The loyal journal reviewed the disconnected new 3, but could not look upon it as. a disaster; and sub sequently received a despatoh declaring the affair ■ io. bo one of the most brilliant of the war. Tho article in the loyal Louisvilie newspaper was brief, ■- : high-toned, and unspeeulative, and in absolute ; keepingwith its patriotic antecedents. Buttherenegade.Enpr&ss “ oOuldh’tseeit,” “ It waaa great defeat of the Federal arms,” was their - construction, and later despatches confirmed their belief that “McClellan’s army was probably anni hilated.” ; It was such remarks that produced the wildest joy among the Secessionists; and in a cer tain doctor's office, on Cherry street, beta were made that the Southern SHdadderacy would be recognized—sometime. Certainly it will bo recog nized —as a great failure. A" NEW UNION PAVER. When I came to Nashville in March last, one of iny first acquaintances was.; Mr. George Baber. Upon- the Capitol steps he informed me, with tears in his eyes, that by never did an act against the Union without suffering conscientious chastisement He was editor of tho Repnbhcan Banner, and al ■, though the most reluctant to forsake the Union, be- came its most bitter persecutor, and wag marked in its efforts to sustain the Southern Conthieveracy. But the young editor informs me that he has re* solved to come out unconditionally for the Union. George intends to establish a paper shortly called the Constitution , its columns to be devoted to a “ dignified and liberal discussion of the subjects touching the re-establishment of the civil Govern ment of Tennessee, and the restoration of the Fede ral relations,of the State. 73 I will quote the “ Prospectus, ’ 7 but remark to my friend Baber, that an unconditional Union: paper will admit in its columns no argument' touching the restoration of the Federal laws ; The Gopstitulion is to be adailF newspaper, published from tbe Republican Banner office, Nashville, Tennes see, by the “Cumberland Printing Association. 3 * The first impassion will be issued on Saturday morning, July 5,1883. The Constitution is to be a Union paper, and its co lumns are to be devoted to a dignified and libera! dfccua sion of the subjects touching the re-establishment of the civil government of Tennessee and the restoration of the Federal relations, .of the State. The subject will be ai t'mpted to be dealt with in a manner at once compatible with the interests of the Federal Union and appreciative of tbe true condition of our people. Partisan animosity; and personal abuse are to be excluded from its columns. It &bali be a paper which all may read without offence, despite the differences in popular opinion, its object being to heal rather than exasperate political dissension. ,: The Constitution will furnish each day a summary of the latest intelligence of public interest, political and commercial. . Mr. George Baber, formerly of the NashviUe banner, aided by a competent assistant, will control the editorial department.

Since tbe incarcerationpf several of the {t minis* tors of tho Gospel,’* Governor Johnson has been overrun by persons anxious to visit and caress the hypocritical traitors.

LETTER FROM FORTRESS MONROE. i [Special Correspondsnce of The Press ] , Fortress Monroe, July 6,1862. In lie great multiplicity of facts which it was necessary to crowed in my letter., printed this morn ling, I find I have overlooked one or two items of importance. First as to the siege gang. I never eaw, and Beyer .saw any one who did see, any other siege guns in the army,of the Potomac than eight or ten long eighty pound Parrotts. These were mounted in battery on the extreme right of the army, and all day, Friday, June 27, did splendid woik in shelling the rebels across the CUokahoini ny. Those guns were ail saved. I saw the whole of them late on Sunday afternoon, five miles across the 'White Oak Swamp bridge, on ground which the enemy did not hold for forty-eight liours after wards. They were rapidly proceeding towards the James river. Tour readers may rely upon the safety of these gun!.- - Then a*:to wounded relatives of people In' the North. Every hattle-field and hospital which was formed for the reception of its wounded during the retreat, is in possession of‘the enemy. If a soldier was killed his body now lies on rebel ground! If he was wounded jin such a way that he could not walk, thexe being no ambulances to remoye any wounded men, he of course fell into the hands of the enemy: If he were wounded so that'he could walk without help, or by the aid of a crutch, or by leaning on afriend’s shoulder, even though his weakness compelled him to rest at every half mile, his safety may be relied upon. The army, in ag gregate, marched; very slowly, but lan miles in twenty-four hours, and these wounded men came - straggling to the hospital boats at Harrison’s houso, during all my stay there, and ho doubt they are straggling in still. From the nature of the wound, the safety of the men can be ascertained. As to well men, the mails will soon be opened, and they of course, at the first opportunity, will bring home letters telling their whereabouts. Every regiment in the army, with scarcely an exception,'was engaged in one or another of the week’s battles, and all did bravely. The troops have the most perfect confidence in their generals, and they all deserve it; for a braver set of officers never commanded an army: The mon ilmost wor ship McClellan; and would do even impossibilities if he commanded them. The troops, too, are united in sentiment on one other point: a firm belief in the inutility of Con gressional criticism and censure of McClellan’s acts.: "When they are doing their best they cannot ■bear to be told.that they could do hotter were they only to try'. : ! Pennsylvania troops, too, have at last wrung from unwilling pens in rival States a tardy acknow ledgment of merit. The glorious, conduct of the Reserves; the heroic bravery of every other Key stone regiment, and the sacrifice of life among their field officers, made without murmur or shudder, . have immortalized the State.whose song were more l numerous in the army than those of any other oora - monwealth, Pennsylvania, first in the Revolution to send hdr troops to resist invasion, has in-this second revolution, founded on such unholy prin ciples, proved how ’deeply lies the patriotism of her people.’ She has conquered prejudice, and may now rest secure upon her merits.

She stated that ahe and her children had walked the whole distaoce entirely unaccompanied by any one. She seemed more determined to make her escape to tbe land of freedom than anyone we have yet seen. Truly, Secession has produced a negro exodus. General Patrick’s brigade : arrived in the vicinity of Falmouth, Stafford county, opposite Fredericksburg, on (be night of the 24th ultimo, after a long and tiresome chase in pursuit of General Jackson. It will be remem bered! that Geceial Patrick was the first military go vernor of Frederick f.feurg, and that he and his command were, we believe, universally popular with the people of this community. ,We are pleased to hear of his return. On Sunday morning, the 29th ultimo, while Mr. Wm.

This is still another warring to tbe soldiers who are in the habit of bathing in-tbe Rappahannock river. The Federal Government lias commenced a wire bus persion bridge; across the Rappahannock river, en the mins of tbe übatham bridge, which was burned by the Confederate army the morning It left Fredericksburg.

He was detailed in charge of twenty-five ambulances, filled-with wound ed, to go to Dynchburg.’ Being possessed of the coun tersign, he determined, to take advantage of the ex isting confusion: to get away. He bribed, a negro in Richmond to swap clothes with him. and after passing the pickets, by means of the cbunteraign, , he:tramped to Fredericksburg and got into the lines of the Union army at that point.

Since the occupation of the Missis sippi by the'Federal forces, cutting off communication .with Texas, their supplies of beef are brought from Flo rid a, where there to an abundance of wild cattle The stock of .wbisky is pretty well exhausted. Dr. Oliver saye the greatest depression-ha observed was produced by the intelligence that President Lincoln had called out three hundred thousand additional troops. The opinion prevailed that if these troops should be promptly far* niehed the rebel■ game would be ended. They have exhausted tbeir resources for soldiers, and would be un able to contend against afreih army of that size: Their only hope to that thia call will not be promptly reapended to by volnuteers, bnt that there will be Boifi. . cient delay to afford an opportunity for foreign interven tion before they are forced to give np. Dr. Oliver says : the rebel plan of fighting is not with restrres,.bntby ri treats in the field, and that"in every battle regiments areregnlaily relieved by fresh troops, after having fought for a little while. In this way it wag hoped to wear 'out and tire down the troops under Hc , Cielian, II is seldom that the same regimenta have been allowed to engage twice in thesame battle.: The rebels have concentrated nearly all their available troops at Richmond, except so much of Boanregard’s army as stopped at Charleston, and about thirty-five. thousand of the same army left ill' Mississippi. The rebels are terri bly afraid of the gunboats. They reckon one gunboat canal to a whole division on land. They admit that the recent movement of General McClellan was a masterly strokeof policy, and that Ms present position to tofinite-- ,!y stronger than the one ha abandoned. It is his im . presrion that no further attack will be made upon him where he is. -The rebels are sending their wounded and prisoners to. the interior. Tin re is no room for them in Richmond, and medical stores ; are, exceedingly scarce. Dr. Oliver was obliged to 'dress wounds and amputa tions with only cold water and bandages The. reported death of Stonewall Jackron is untrue.

OF SHILOH, Camp in tub Field, near Ciiewalla, Ten*., I Jono 10.1862. { Lieutenant Governor B. Stanton, Columbus, Ohio: Sir: lam not surprised when anonymous scribblers write and publish falsehoods, or make criticisms on mat ters of whioh they know nothing, or which they are in capable of comprehending. It is their trade. They live by it,_ Slander gives point and pianancy to a paragraph, and the writer, being irresponsible or beneath notice, escapes a merited punishment. It is different with men in high official station’who, like you, descend to thi. dirty work. Yon bad an opportunity to learn the truth, for I eaw yon myself at Shiloh soon after the battle, and know that hundreoe would have aided you in your work had yon been in eearch of facts. You never iocuirad of me concerning the truth of events, which yon must have knovn transpired in my sight and hearing, bnt seemed to have preferred the “ camp stories ” to authentic data then within your reach. A friend, by mere accident, has shown me a slip of newspaper dated April 19th, 1862. styled « Extra,” pub lished at Beliefontaine; Ohio, and signed B. Stanton I am further told yon are the man. If so, and you bo the Dlentenant Governor of Ohio, I hold that you are my peer, and that of Generals Grant, Hurlbut, and Pren tiss, all.of whom you directly charge with conduct on the field of Shiloh which deserves a court-martial, whose sentence, if you have not borne false witness, wonld be degradation or death. The accusatory patj of your statement ii all f.lso, false in general, false In every, par ticular ; anil, I repeat, yon could not have failed to know it false when you published that statement. To prove what 1 say,, I now Quote the concluding part of yonr paper.- Sc me dam plaints have been made about the conduct of a few of the new regiments in this Battle, including the 54th and sTib. lt must be remembered that times are new xegiaentß—that not only .have they never seen any service, bnt that they never received their guns un til they arrived on the Tennessee liver, two or three weeks before the battle 8b with Myers’ Battery. It has not been more than six weeks since they have had their horses. And yet these regiments and this bat. tery wora pnt on the extreme outside of out camp, and were, consecueDtiy, first exposed to the enemy’s fire.. Add. to this -that our lines were so care lessly and negligently guarded that the enemy wore absolutely on we.in onr Tory tents before the offi cers in command were awaro-of their approach. The wonder therefore is. not that these regiments were finally broken and rented, but that they made any stand at all; But the loss sustained by those regiments, especially by Capt. Starr’s company in the 54th. shows that they made a gallant and noble stand, and that their ultimate retreat was sot the fault of the men, bnt of the blundering etu pidity and negligence of the General in command. There to an intense feeling of: indignation against Generali Grant.and Prentiss, and the general feeling amongst the most Intelligent men with whom I conversed, to that they ought to be eonrt martfaled and shot. Yonrs, Ac B. STANTON. ■With Mi ere’ Battery I have nothing to do, as it was in Gen Hurlbnt’s division, who has made hia official re port. whibh proves yours untrue: for instead of being kept on the “extreme outside of onr camp,”it was, at the beginning of the battle, more than a mile to the rear of mine and McClernand’s and Prentiss’divisions. The 54th, Col. T; Kilby Smith, and fifth; Col. William Mun gen , did form a part of my obmmand. No- one that I ever heard has Questioned the courage and gallantry ot the 54th, unless it be inferred from yonrown apo’ogy ibc tin m, and I know that I speak the mind of tho officers of that regiment when I say they scorn to bavetheir merits bolstered up by yonr lame aod impotent conclusions. As to their being on the enter line, it was whore they wished to be, and so far from being surprised, they were, by my orders, undir arms at daylight, and it was near 10 A. M before the enemy assailed their position. ‘This position was so favorable that 001. Stuart, with bis email brigade, of which the 54th formed a part, held at bay for hours Hardee’s whole division, composed of infantry, artillery, and cavalry. The 67th was posted on the left of Shiloh, which, I say, and in which Beauregard concurs with me, was tho key to the wide position. It was in the very front, the piece of honor, to which Col. Mungen or his men coqld not object. Their front was guarded by themselves, and if negligence is justly charged, it belongs to the regiment itself. So favorable was the ground, that although the reeiment lost but two officers and seven men, Colonel Mnngen has more than once assured me that he counted fifty dead Secessionists on the ground over which he was attacked. As to Ihe enemy being in their very camp before tbe officers in command were aware of their approach, it to the most wicked falsehood that wag ever attempted to bo thrust upon a-people sad and hearteore at the ter rible but necessary casualties of war. That the cowards who deserted their comrades in that hour of danger should, In their desperate strait to cover np their infa my, invent such a story was to be expected: tint that yon should have tot yourself as a willing instrument in perpetuating that falsehood is a shame from which you can never hope to recover. Theiruth to now well undoretoed. For days we knew the enemy was in our front, but the nature of the ground and his superior strength in cavalry prevented us from, breaking through the veil of their approach to ascertain their true .strength and pnrpore. Bnt as soldiers .we were, prepared at all : times to receive an: -attack, and even to made one if ciroumstances • warranted it. On tbat merning onr ’ pickets’ had been driven in. Onr main guards were forced back to the email valley in our front. ■ Ail onr regiments ofio -fanlry, batteries of artillery, and sanadrons of cavalry were prepared. I myself, their, commander, was fully prepared, rode along the line.of this very regiment, and saw it in position ia front of their camp, and looking to a narrow causeway small creek by which the enemy was expected and did approtch. After pass ing, this regiment, ,1 rode on to Appier’s position, and beyond some five hundred yards, where I was fired on,’ and my Orderly, Thomas D. HcUtdav, was killed. Rvrn after that I gave some di racHons about . Watterbouse’s Battery, and again Returned to Shiloh In time to witness tbs attack there ‘ Iti, simply ridiculous to talk about a surprise. ’To be sure, very many were astonished and surprised, not so much at theenemy’s coming, bnt at the manner of his coming, and these Bought safety at the river, and eonld not ba prevailed to recover from their surprise till the enemy bad-been driven away by their comrades after twodays’ bard fighting. I have never mads a Question of tbe individuat bravery of this or any other regi ment, but merely state facts. The regiment still be longs to my command, and: has elicited my prahte for ile improvement and steadiness in the many skirmishes' ana affairs during onr advance on Co rinth. I doubt not that the, people of Ohio will yet hare reason to feel the. same pride in this regiment as they now dp In many other of the same State of deserved- - ly high repute. As to the intense feeling against Gens. Grant faud Prentiss—could anything! bs more base than that T Grant, just fresh -from the victory of Dnneison, more rich in fruits than was Saratoga, Yerktown, or any other one fought on this continent, is yet held np to the people of Ohio, hie native State, as one who, in the opinion of the intelligent coward, is worthy to be. shot; and Prentiss, new absent and a prisoner, nneble to. meet yonr wicked and malicions Bbaflß, also condemned to infamy and death. Shame on ion 1* and I know I tell you an nnpleasant truth whoa I asenre you neither he nor his men were surprised, butch ered in their tents, As., but on the contrary, were pre pared in time to receive the shock of battle more terrible than any the annals of American history had heretofore rt corded. He met it manfnUy and well, for hours bora np against the superior host, fell back slowly and in or der HU be met tbe reserves under Wallace and Hurlbnt, and fought till near four P. M, when be was completely enveloped and made prisoner. Wei! do I remember the line after line of steaay troops, displaying the blooly banner of the South, and, to me, tbe more familiar Peli can flag of -Louisiana, bearing down on Prehtis’, who wos to my left and rear, and bow, though busy enough with my own appropriate part, I felt for his danger, and despatched to him my aid, Major Sanger, to give him notire. My aid found him In advance of his camps, fighting well. Bnt tbe shock was too great, and he was borne back, step by step, til! made prisoner, six hoars after yonr surprised informants bad sought refuge under the steep banks of the Tennessee. : : So much for the history of events you did not behold and yet pi etend to comment on. : You came to Shiloh on a miebicn ef mercy, after danger, and before a new one arose. You tarried a few days, but T cannot learn from my Ohio colonels how yon dispensed your charitable trust. That is none of my business, but I do know yon abused your opportunity, and caught up vague, foolish camp rnmore* from the region of the steamboat lauding Instead of seeking for truth where aione.you did know it could be found, among tbe thousands of brave Ohio men who were in my camp, and who can still boast of never having seen the Tennessee river since the day we dis tmberked. You then return to your State, and in obscure printed slips circulate libels and falsehoods against men -whose vocation and distance made it highly Improbable that you cooldeverbe held to an account. You knew that we were in the presence of a fierce, bold, aud de termined enemy, with hundreds of miles of ambush before us, from which a few stray shots would relieve 'you of your victims. You knew’ that our men were raw and undisciplined, and that all our time was taken up in organization, drill, and di-tciplino, leaving us no time to meet your malicious Zanders and regent your insults. Tbo hour of reckoning seemed, therefore, distant aud uncertaln. You have had your day, but the retreat of the enemy aud a day of comparative rest has given me leisure to write thiß for your benefit Grant and Hurl but and Prentiss still live, and wifi in due season pay, .their respects, also. \ ' . If you have no respect for the honor and reputation .of tbe generals who lead the amtes of your country, you should have some regard for the honor and welfare of -the country Itself. If your paper could have had its intended effect of. destro? ing the confidence of the Executive, the army, and the people iu ‘their ge nerals, .it would have produced absolute and utter disorganization. .It not only placed courage and cowardice, stubborn and enduring valor., and ignomini ous flight upon the same base,' but it hold* up to public favor those who "deserted their colors, aud teaches them to add insubordination to cowardice. Such an army as your military morale would produce .could not be commanded by any general who hoped to win reputa tion, or.wbo had reputation to lose;; Onr whole force, if .imbued with your notions, would- be driven across the Ohio'in k-ss tbau a month, aud even you would be dis turbed in your quiet study where .you now.

After the evacuation of Yorktown. while tbe Prince accompanied 6enera3 SfcClelien r hie nephews went in the advance with Stoaemao in parsult of the retreating enemy. On the evening before tbe battle of Williams burg the Due was In command of a small detachment of dragoons, which went to the left to reconnoitre. Meet ing a large force of the enemy, his Bmall command took foarlePD prisoners, among whom were three officers. He immediately aarraed General Stoneman of the superior numbers of the rebels, and be was subsequently relieved by General Emory with a larger command. That night General Suraoer Bent him with two companies of Infantry for the purpose of attempting to capture a giib which had been lost from Gapt&ia (Bbson’fe bat tery. He proceeded cautiously with hi* command into the ahatfie in front of Fort Mac ruder until he met tbe enemy’s skirmishers, who fired at him as he was riding on the road. Tba enemy had brought up* Romo horses and was dragging ike gun out of the mud.. Find ing it iiLpoßsible to recapture It, the Due returned con siderably disappointed. The Comte acted as aid to General Stoneman at the battle of Williamsburg, and, aa well as the Prince himself, rendered valuable Hervicee. It was tbe Due, it appears, who was the first to open communication between Rumoer and Heiotzelraan at the battle of Williamsburg. Then, in the subsequent opera tions on the peninsula, they continued to take an active part. Biding with the General always, they accompanied him on tbe field at tbe battle of Fair Oaks. •In the series of battles duriog the past two weeks they have had a great deal of experience. At tbe battle of Gaines’ Mill, on Friday, the2Ttb of June, the Count and the Due acted as aids to Gen. Fite John Porter, who had immediate command. With remarkable celerity. they were teen (lathing along the line, conveying orders to officers. Tbe Prince smiled in admiration over the pluck of the Orleans racr, as his nephews flew through the storm of leaden hall. He Is gratified with the experience they have had in our army. Once, at that battle, the Due came near being killed or captured by the enemy. Near tbe close of the engagement, he had been sent by General Porter to order a regiment of cavalry to stop the stragglers, and endeavor to re-establish in their ftJrmei* position soma of our wavering troops. Betnrning more If fsnrely to the point from which he had started, be per ceived three regiments of infantry being drawn up ia line near tbe hospital, where he hod left Genera? Porter. His keen soon detected something etrange fp the ap pearance ofstbe regiments; presently he perceived the rebel flags, and Instantly, as be was turning his horse, a volley fired at him more forcibly convinced him that they were three rebel regiments he had encountered Hap pily be escaped mu'cratched. and the speed of his splendid, horse was very perceptibly accelerated. They have constantly admired the material and disci pline of tbe Union troops, and frequent opportunities to judge of their martial hearing and valor in the field have crnytaced them that no soldiers in the wo*ld could fiaht better. .Tbe Princewas particularly pleased, at the bat tle of Gaines’MiDs, on the 2Tth ult, to see, after their companions had been shot down, two artillerists standing by a gun to battery, and working It with almost suoer buman energy in the face of a fearful fire from rebel in fantry edvancingfast upon them. The Immense amount of labor in making roads, building fortifications and fell ing forest*, which onr troops have performed. In dependent of the: hard fighting they have done, seems almost incredible to foreign mluds. Tbe pro difiioug difficulties we have overcome have been matters of much admiration to tbe princas. It will be no easy matter for them to convince Eu r*pean officers of the fact that General McClellan successfully brought his army, with all its artillery and baggage, ever one stogie road, while changing Ids base of op»rafcioßB to tbe James river, and bring pressed all the time, ae be was, by an enemy having vastly superior numbers. Their faith in General McClellan, which ha* bepu.cdßßtan»ly increasing as they have watched the de ▼* lepmeut < f hie plans, has been more firmly fixed by his recent magnificent movements. They scarcely know whether to admire the most his superior military ability* his becoming modeity, Ms untiring perseverance and energy, dr his pure patriotic motives, which have Induced him to put, arida aH political and party considerations, and personal ambition, ia order to cnv»h the rebellion. This is tbe third visit paid to thiscouutryby the Prince de JoiDTiWe, and the first by his nephews.' His first visit wee in September, 1841, when his father, Louis Ph*U pp*, the ally of America, was King of Franca. Hi* more recent Visit, previous to the present, to our shores, Is well remembered by us all. He leaves us again with more enlightened and exalted opinions of America and Americans. When he and his nephew* bade farewell to General McClellan and bia army last Monday they were affected almopt to tears- The Prince will leave his son with us to pursue his naval studies, while he hiumelf re turns to England with his nephews. They have already sent to their resignations as officers iu the United States Army. They leave with kindest wishes for the success of the Government and perfect faith in its ability to quick ly quell the rebeHioa. Arrival of. Sick and Wounded fennsfU umians at New Fork.
