GENERAL HUNTER’S DEPARTMENT.
Evacuation of James’ Island,
[Special Correspondence of The Press.]
Stono Kivep., S. 0., July 3, 1862.
As with vast pleasure wo chronicled the arrival
of General Hunter’s army on the Stono, so with in
tense disgust do we record its disgraceful and sel
dom paralleled , withdrawal from a field whore
well-planned and properly-executed operationsmust
have afforded to all the actors an unusual: harvest
of glory. ■
WHY IT WAS BONE.
Why this, strange retrograde measure was de
termined upon we have no means of knowing,
although we do know that it was an arbitrary pro
ceeding, ordered without the knowledge of the War
Department, the sub-generals here, and the flag
officer at Port Royal. A few affect to regard it. as
a sanitary measure ; hut this isinadmissible,.for at
best there is hut slight difference in the compare,
tive healthfuiness of the entire State ooist; and,
if there is any at all, it should favor James’ Island,
. which is a cultivated, well-shaded piece of land, to
tally surrounded by saltwater, and subject to the al
ternately constant land and sea-breezes. In addition
to this, it furnishes plenty of good fresh water, fine
camping grounds, and an abundant/supply of fire
wood. The mosquitoes are verynumerous at times;
perhaps this may have influenced the commanding
general.
ITS EFFECTS.
The great .indignation and reluctance that has;
attended the evacuation, approximates to insubor
dination, nothing but the good discipline'and law
regarding virtues of our patriotic troops prevent
ing an open exhibition of the general discontent.
The humblest soldier and poorest sailor in the de
partment were alike convinced of our ability, when
co-operating under judicious leaders, to overcome
the Common foe. But now, after having obtained
such a strong foothold—after having attracted, the
attention of the entire country to the original me
tropolis, of treason, and convinced, into admission
the most intelligent of 'Charlestonians, that their
city was doomed, our panting soldiers are drawn
from victory like hounds ia the leash, and the re
bels are again enabled to retire without the accus
tomed presentiments of nocturnal disturbances, by
adventitious shells. Their only accessible fort for
foreign smugglers and licensed pirates remains
open, and , the frowning battlements of Fort Sump
ter . still keep at a respectful distance our
powerful blockading fleet. The moral effects of
such movements, always bad, will be especially
injurious in this instance, and the damage done to
the Department of the South atone, wilt take
-months to repair. Towiium musre-rae-tnittors ex-~
press their gratitude? To whom is the country
indebted for this accession to the recent disasters?
THE NAVAL SQUADRON.
The fleet on the Stono was never stronger than
at present. The most efficient steamers under
Com; Dupont’s command are here, and I risk
notning in saying that their support would enable
the army, to repel a force of 20,000 men. The
disappointment of the officers and crews is exces
sive, as they were universally confident of a suc
cessful issue. By this turn in affairs the flee; will
be divided and a portion withdrawn
THE PAUL JONES.
As a: proof that this event was unknown
to . the Cabinet, the Secretary of the Navy
despatched hither, direct from Washington,
the new. double-bowed, side-wheel steamer Paul
Jones, Commander Steedman, formerly of the Bien
ville, to assist in ease of any emergency. Com, S.
was instructed “to make all haste,” or he would,
not arrive in time to witness “the downfall of
Charleston.” Imagine his surprise, on joining the
fleet, to see our troops “ vamosing the ranch,” in
stead of parading through the hated city.
REBELS SALUTING.
out five o’clock, on. the morning of the Ist
inst,, tie rebels commenced a regular discharge
of heavy guns, beginning at the upper, or Wappoo
batteries, and extending down the harbor to Port
Sumpter and Sullivan’s Island. It was evidently
a grand salute in honor of some Secession victory,
or a celebration of some anniversary in rebel his
tory. We are anxious to learn what it meant.
More anon. . Chester.
THE. EVACUATION COMPLETED.
. July 0, ISG2.
To-day will very likely finish a movement that
will ever be regretted. The evacuation, which,
has progressed slowly, elumsily, and carelessly
almost a week, is nearly accomplished. The rear
guard iB being embarked, and a few days will suf
fice for the sailing transports to clear the river.
The slowness has been occasioned by alack of steam
transportation ;. the clumsiness by a lack of mili
tary knowledge, and the carelessness is attributed
to indifference on the part of prominent ofiicers. So
strangely has the abandonment been conducted,
that the rebels will be dpt to regard it more in the
light of a retreat than any thing else. In one camp
that had been occupied by about four thousand
men, large numbers of shovels, overcoats, knap
sacks,'and mess utensils were left lying on the
ground ; two; or three magazines left nndestroyed,
and two wharves, several carts and boats, remain
intact.-: Besides these, there were a number of
gum platforms and n large quantity of available
and: valuable lumber, Of course, “ our kind
uncle ” must pay-for this, and those who did it.
The gunboats have partially saved our credit fay
destroying as much of the Above as possible, al
though they were unable to complete the work of
destruction. To them much praise is due, not
only forthis, but for the superior manner in which
they have covered the evacuation.
THE FOURTH OF JULY.
This memorable day was gloomy enough on the
Stono. It commenced raining about 9A. M,, and
continued at intervals the entire day. To add to
the general; unpleasantness consequent upon the
damp, murky, sticky condition of the weather, and
the disagreeable occurrences going on: around us,
we received early in the afternoon, through a
Charleston paper, brought from Georgetown, S. C,
by the IT. S. steamer Henry Andrews, the depress..
ing intelligence that Gen McClellan had been de
feated before Richmond, and driven beyond the
Chickahominy with groat loss of men, ordnance,
and stores ; also, that Gen. Fremont had been re-:
pulsed, and-himself captured, or, as the rebels ex
press It, lagged. This unwelcome news accounted
for the saluting heard last Tuesday at Charleston..
. The villains were rejoicing over their .mischief.*
They claim a victory at Richmond greater even
than the battle of Manassas, and are almost de
mented attheir unexpected Success. 7.
FLAG OF TRUCK
We have heard from an officer in the navy, that
a flag of truce was recently sent from the Pawnee
to the commanding, rebel at Secessionville, with a
eommunication from the superior naval authorities.
.Some, of those with the flag asked where our
army was; ; they replied, 1 that they did y not
know, having had no recent news from. Rich
mond . Prim.. this and other ei roumstances, it
was concluded that the tables had been turned,
and a second ’ edition of the battle of " Shiloh’ ’
enacted. That is. the first success of the . traitors
had been retrieved by our troops on the second or
third day of tbo battle. This, of bourse, Is the
hopeful supposition of ignorance. Wo shall spend
the next few days praying for information from
Northern sources.. Imagine our anxiety for the
news of this affair, and its effect on the treacherous
“Powers,” the curious wolvos in sheep’s clothing,
that only await a pretext to attempt' to dovour us.

tured by the gunboat Pembina, several weeks
since. One day in the beginning of last month, as
this vessel was on her way to relieve the Unadilla,
then stationed in Folly Island river, she passed a
small schooner at anchor near the month of the
Stono river. As she was an ordinary-looking
vessel, resembling very much some of the trans
ports attached to the army, but little notice
was taken of her, until one of the officers
remarked that there was a British ensign in
her port fore rigging. This excited suspicion,
and in a few moments the entfrgotie Cap
tain Bankhead had a cutter lowered, manned,
and sent aboard to see if all was right. The
oflieer in command of the boats had orders to
arrest tho captain, and bring him and his papers
off, if he saw anything suspicious. Owing to some
misapprehension he. failed to make the arrest, and
on his return reported that he had seen the clear
ance, manifest, etc., and they were all propor ;
gave the vessel’s name and destination—the Row
ena, from Nassau, N. P., bound to St. John’s, N.
B.—which in itself was almost enough to condemn
her, for nine-tenths of all the prizes captured tell
the same story. Captain Bankhead was not satis-_
fled with this roport, and after proceeding a mile
or two, .sent the boat back to take possession of the
stranger until further orders. The boat arrived
in time to prevent the cunning skipper from endea-,
voting to escape from the trap he had sailed into
during the night, ignorant of the fact that our
forces had possession of the river. She was manned
by a prize crew and sent to Philadelphia. Her
cargo consisted of pig- lead, paper, cigars, fruit,

is estimated , to be worth eight or ten thousand dol
lars. ■ - C. .

Near Charleston, S. 0., [
July 4, 1862. )
Owing to the complexity ol our movements for
some time, since occupying our present. position,
we have been unable to give you anything likes
regular or methodical detail of the various in
cidents as they have successively occurred." In
fact, long before we can get; ready to; do so, others/
having more time and opportunity, and withal
more competent than we, have' generally done
this; therefore, we must be content in our scrib
blings with such material as we can find not already
eanvassed, which, in this period so prolific in
writers, is by no means an easy s task.
NO reconnoissancjs near charleston.
We venture the suggestion that there are certain ■■
correspondents who, perhaps, without designing to
prevent the truth, have, nevertheless, been guilty"
of suppressing it to no smalldegree. We have had
no '‘reconnaissance’’ to within three miles of ■
Charleston” jetj as the correspondentof-a Hewt
York journal terms it; neither are we at all likely,
from present appearances, to arrive at thatdesirable
consummation in a hurry. True, an attempt in that
direction was made at the time referred to, but it
terminated neither brilliantly nor satisfactorily;
and, while we sustained considerable loss in killed
and wounded, we really gained nothing, at the
costly price of any permanent advantage. The
wholo affair, besides being eminently rash and.
dangerous in the extreme, served only to reveal
the impregnable fastnesses of the enemy—wholly
beyond ..the strength of our inadequate number of
forces. . ' : iL
•FAILURE OF THE EXPEniTION,
Wo are sorry to see it stated, by tho writer re
ferred to, that our expedition to this point has been
a success; when, in reality, it has been a most un
successful and disastrous one. Had the balloonist,
upon whom he bestows much praise,' been as ener
getic as he might and should have heen, the dread
ful catastrophe of the 16th of June might have been
either entirely prevented or greatly mitigated.
Tho operator entirely failed at the very moment of
need; in a very reprehensible manner,-he came
here without 'material even, from which to manu
facture gas, and after one or twoludicrousattompts
to make an ascension, he finally contrived to tear
the balloon, and so ended his experiment.
. We came here, evidently, without due prepara
tion, and before the Government was ready to co
operate with such a movement, and the result has
inevitably beena serious disaster, and the bare esoapo
of our few forces from entire destruction. Wo have
hardly had strength. sufficient to hold our'various
positions, and act on the defensive, much less aro
we able to take the offensive, and,- make the des
perate attempt to advance against a well-entrenched
enemy, who never show' themselves in/the open
field. With great loss, and untold dangers and
hardships, we, at last, hold no more of this island
than van bo held_by our gunboats alone ; so that.
...our presence -bore, without proper TenjrOrodmeuts,
"is not only useless, but folly in the extreme.
NATURE OP THE GROUND
:• The very nature of the ground admits of being :
fortified against almost , any mere infantry force,
and the rebels have not failed to avail themselves
of these advantages. Batteries, both heavy and
numerous, frown grimly in the face of all advance,
and to approach any one of these for thp whole
distance of eight miles, between this and Charles
ton, both sedgy swamp and dark and tangled forest
must every here and there he encountered. Suoh
is, in a few words, our present position on the
southern extremity of James’ Island. ' -
EVACUATION OF THE ISLAND.
With a full knowledge of the above facts, which
we have learned through rather a biller ex
perience, we are at the present moment evacuating
the plaee, which, of course, we are doing as quietly
as possible. If the toil and danger attending its
occupation were great, those of leaving it in this
manner are more so. Our batteries, erected with
sueh extreme labor and sprinkled with patriot
blood, must be abandoned; the heavy shot and
shell, transported with such patient endurance,
amid storm and sun, and whistling balls, must now,
amid the same, be diagged and carried, in-tho
dead stillness of midnight, back to their former
places on board the transports, last night, a
single detail of forty men, from companies A and
I. of our regiment, were engaged in carrying
eighty-pound shot and shell on their shoulders'
a distance of a mile and a quarter 1 All night they
worked, going to and. from the magazine of the
fort, notwithstanding one of the enemy’s gunS was
known to be in point-blank range, and eouid throw
death into their midst at anymoinent, as in silent
ranks they stood at the lone midnight hour wait
ing at the dark entrance of the magazine for their
severalloads.
. .HARDSHIPS OF SOLDIERING.
It is surprising what a prodigious amount of labor'
and hardship a soldier gradually learns to endure.
In illustration, we may slate that being, through
some mismanagement, without tents, on landing
here, we lived amid more than a week’s rain with
no other protection than our gum-Umfots; a
present, by the way, from Governor Curtin, which
has been very serviceable to us, and for which wo.
are very thankful. For several days and nights iD,-
succession our clothing has never boon dry, an(l
many a time, according to our correspondent’s own
experience, we have awakened in the morning .to
find ourselves IjiDg in a pool of water, collected
during the night; yet we slept soundly ! In fact,
we learn to contend with difficulties and exposures
here that could never have been endured at home.
1 The rain and storm may pelt us, yet we never heed
it; ,we wade the muddy, sedgy swamp: unhesita
tingly; rivers are forded, forests penetrated, hot
and arid sands traversed, and burdens of fifty or
sixty pounds carried all day long, without experi
encing any .inconvenience. Besides al this, there
is an amount of other labor and duty, to bo per
formed, especially at such a time as this, that can
scarcely be imagined.
The weather has become very warm in this lati
tude, and will still be warmer, as the months of
July and August advance. How we shall endure
this untried, portion. of Southern temperature we
know not; it is the only, portion of which wo need
he under any apprehension. Thus far,, the .health
of the several regiments composing our division has
been, on the average, excellent.’ .
justice to the roundheads.
We observe that various newspapers, through the
misstatements of erratie writers, fail to notice the
100th Regiment entirely. This is hardly fair. The
100th was most 1 prominent in the skirmish: of the
3d of June, having landedrfirst on the Mand. On
the same day, too, a company of our regiment, un
der command of Capt. William F. Templeton,
stormed one of the enemy’s, fortifications, at a
charge bayonet, and captured two heavy. guns,
which they brought off under a heavy-fire from
other works in range, besides spiking a third and.
rendering it unserviceable. In . the terrible en
gagement, too, of the 16th of June, the “ Round
heads ” were prominent in the fight, struggling up
to the very mouths,of the enemy’s guns, and climb
ing upon the ramparts,
We hope the .official accounts of these various
transactions will' give our-regiment the award of
merit which is duo to it. Its honors have been won
nobly, at the priceless cost of many a patriot life.
They sleep peacefully:after the battle’s storm, in
the bosom of these isjpnds of the sea. All honor io
their memories 1 ’Very truly yours, H. B. 1).

THE PENNSYLVANIA REGIMENTSIN SOUTH CAROLINA
■ James’ Island has beenwvacuated by our troops,
but the gunboats still remain 'in the. Stono, com
pletely commanding all that -part of the island re
cently occupied by our forces. Tho Pennsylvania
regiments in South Carolina are the 45th, Colonel
Welsh; 76th, Colonel Power; 100th, Colonel Lea
sure, at Hilton Head—47th, Colonel Good; 50th;
Colonel Christ, at Beaufort—and 97thi Colonel
Guss, at Ediato. They -will probably remain in
these positions until the first frost enables us to re
sume the “ Onward to Charleston,” Our troops
are in good health; *ueki!y so, as the treatment of
sick and wounded soldiers in the general hospital
at this dace ishorrible in the extreme. More than
one-third of all the troops in South Carolina are
Pennsylvanians. Would it not, therefore, be well
for our excellent Surgeon General Smith to visit
Port Royal, with a view of improving the condi
tion ofthe sick Pennsylvanians ?
THE ENGAGEMENTS OF LAST MONTH.
Our 'men fought splendidly in tho engagements
on the lOthJand 10th of June, on James* Island ;
but as reports all go through New York papers,
of course, Pennsylvanians are forgotten. In the
action of the 10th Juno, particularly, two compa
nies of the 45th Pennsylvania did the fighting,
killing and wounding a large number of rebels, and
driving back a whole regiment of Georgia troops.
The terrible bravery of these two companies of
Pennsylvanians drew forth tho encomium of ail the
officers who witnessedjthe fight; yet,.we find that,
through New York papers, the full credit.of the
rebel. defeat is appropriated, to a New York regi
ment that was hardly.known in the fight at all.
We try to do our whole duty in suppressing tho
rebellion, and wo mean to succeed, in order that
we can have the proud satisfaction hereafter of
knowing that we have done eur duty. Yet it does
not seem quite right that we should do so much
hard work and hard fighting in the good cause and
then the credit given to others.

Ehe following Is a copy of a letter which. Gen. Stevens
has addressed to Gen. Hunter, giving a complete history
of the recent attack on the rebel battery:
Headquarters Stevens’ Division, >
Hilton Head, S. 0., July 8, 1862. J -
Moj. Gen. David Commanding Department of
the Souths llilion Head, S. G.;
Sir : I desire to Btate briefly a few facts in relation to
tbe operations of noy division at fhe battle of Ssceamon
vitle, fongbt ontbe 16thofJune,iri reference to whioh
there is eome strange misapprehension: to present some
of my own vie we in regard to that affair, and some par
ticulars of the conference held by Gen. Benham with hia
general officers on the evening previous to the battle.
! 1, ft bat conference was held with Generals Wright and
. 'Willianra, and my self. All were unmistakably opposed
to the attempt, in the then cendition of the enemy’s
works, to toke them by a and so unequi
voca'ly and unmistakably expressed themselves. When
General Wright was called upon for hi 3 opinion, he an-
Bwcred that he would make his reply in the shape of cer
tain interrogations to me, to which he.desire! answers. ■
let you impaired the strength of
the enemy’s works at Secessionville by the firing of yonr
battery 'I.- General Stevens answered: « Hot in the least.
I have driven the enemy from his guns by my fire, and I
can do it again ; but as soon as the fire ceases he retarns.
X have not dismounted a gun, and wo shall find him in
the morning as strong as ever.” .
2d Interrogalory—Do you know of any instance where
volunteer troops have successfully stormed works as
strong as those which defend the approach to Secession
; ville? General Stt vena’ answer: “I know of no snch
infetance.”
3d Interrogatory—Have you any reason to believe that
the result in the present case will be different in its cha
racter from wbafc it has invariably been heretofore?
Gen. Stevens’answer-—I have no reason to expect a
different result. ' It is simply a bare possibility to take
the work.”
In this Gens. Wright, Williams, and myseU concurred.
I then proceeded to atato, with all possible emphasis, my
objections to his morning attack; I urged that it should
be deferred to a much later period. in the day; that we
•fihould ; first thake the morale of the garrison, and* en
deavor to weakenits defences by a continuous fire of the
battery and the gunboats; that in the meantime we should
carefully survey the ground and prepare bur troops, and
make the attack when the battery and the boats had had
the desired effect. I closed by Baying that, under such
circumstances, I could do more with two thousand men
than I could with three thousand men in the way he
proposed.
Gen. Wright moreover warned Gen. Benham that bis,
orders were in fact orders not to fight a battle. In this
Gen. Williams and myself, in express terms, concurred..
Gen. Benham, however, overruled-all our objections,
and peremptorily ordered the attack to be made. I as
. sured him, as did,; the other gentlemen, that ho should
relyjipon my promptitude and’activity in obeying hia
orders; but I considered myself as obeying orders to
which I had expressed the strongest possible objections,
and I, therefore, determined that there should not be the
least want of energy or promptitude on my part
2.-It has been charged that I was behind time. This
is not true. I was exceedingly prompt, and up to time.
Theorders Were to move at 4 My division was
fbrmed at 2 o’clock, and was at the outer pickets before
S# o’clock. It was a very dark and cloudy morning. I
moved at 4 o’clock. It was so dark that one man could
not follow , another, except at very., short intervals. It
was much darker than on usual starlight nights. My
men" were at the enemy’s works about 4=% o’clock, and
toe conflict of twenty-fire minutes, so dreadiul in its
casualties, was over, and tho men returned at 5 o’clock,
r Porter’s section of Xiockwetl’s battery advanced to the
hedge, within five hundred yards of the enemy’s works,
with the troops cf Fenton’s brigade; fired above one hun
dred shots from his two guns; w»3 joined in the midst of
his lire by one piece of Seward’s section (a rifle gun), which
fired twenty-six shots, and the three guns were withdrawn
to the second hidgc, and actually there reopened fire at 5
o’clock, Tho watch was actually consulted by one of Bock
well’s sergeants at.the very moment, and It. was .exactly
five o’clock. . Inmy official report I have stated that the
sharp conflict was from 5 to s)£ o’clock. lam perfsctly
satisfied tbat.it occurred between 4% and 5. The men
alftaece to about lsa!f an hour.
3. It lias been statedtbat my regiments were not witliia
supporting distance of each other. This iaagreafc mis
take. They followed each other closely. There was not
a pause m the movement.' They, entered successfully
under fire without hesitation. They entered nece.sarily
in the following order : Stlv Michigan, ,7 th Connecticut,
2Slh Massachusetts, 79th Highlanders, IGOth Pennsylva
nia! and 46th New York. They moved at first by the flank
on the road, to avoid ditches and hedges and the rough
cotton furrows, and they necessarily marched one behind
the ether; As they came into the field before the work,
they pushed forward by regiments into line of battle, and
entered tbe cloee fire. I have mentioned how Rockwell's
battery pushed up. Qoite a number of the Bth Michigan
and 79th Highlanders gained tbe ditch and parapet of the
.work. All the! regiments pushed close up to the work,
and .more or less men of each made lodgments at the
marsh and abattis on either side. The 79th Highlanders
went into fire tho fourth regiment. They passed by the
7th Connecticut and the 28fch Massachusetts, and actual
ly supported at the parapet, as every one admits, the Bth
Michigan. They passed those regiments, too, within IeBS
than 200 yards.of; the enemy's works. The Highlanders
have been in many battles and skirmishes, are very ex
pert in drill, and are, indeed, old soldiers. If they were
in supporting distance, certainly the 7th Connecticut and
the 28th Massachusetts were. But the terrible force of
grape, canister, and musketry from the front,-and the rifle
fire of , sharpshooters from the flanks poured upon the
several regiments as they were passing on in line' to the
very neck of land on which tbe enemy’s Work is situated,
ai.d which is stated ly them to be only thirty yards’
wide. Large portions of each regiment were th nr thrown
on the marsh on either baud, and were unable to go for
ward, Tho succeeding regiments, in pushing forward,
became intermingled with them, and the only alternative
was to retire the regiments to reform them. The very
thing bappenedwmekis to bo feared in such an attempt.
Whenit is recollected that in twenty-five minutes every
. one of nay regiments passed the advance beige, pushed
clean up,'or new*? clean up to the ditch, made the best
fight they could, and were withdrawn by my positive
orders i:o the same advanced hedge again, losing over
500 men, every regiment suffering largely, and two regi
ments terribly, there can be no doubt but they followed
each other closely. The fault is not ia my orders or ar
rangements, but in having a fight there at all under such
circumstances.- -
4. So f rap'd and prompt were , the operations of my
division that I was hard at work reforming m? troops
before Williams’advance came in sight; and I wai
aiterwards'ready, with all my battalions in line of battled
to move to the assault of tbe work the second time when
ever General JBenham should give the order. This I
announced to General Benliam by Captain Elwell, his
aid,-and by officers of my own staff. At this very junc
ture, General Benham withdrew Williams, and, as stated
in my official report, at a subsequent period, ordered me
to withdraw. .
‘5. All the above facts I can establish. by the most in
controvertible testimony. I have entered the service
with the earnest purpose of doieg mv duty, and I sub
mit the above statement to show that I was prompt and
faithful to my orders on the day of the 16th. :

THE HARVESTS. :
If Jackson, or any rebel force, gain possession of
this valley this week, be would have a rich prize.
The grain and ■wheat crops are now ripening, and
from here to Harper’s Terry the ground is one con
tinual granary. True, there are many fields which
have been destroyed by the two armies, but there
is enough left to furnish food to the whole people
of Virginia for months to eoino. Hut I am afraid
three-fourths of the crops wilt be lost. For want
of labor to harvest, the wheat is fairly rotting in
the fields, and if the hot weather which now
prevails f continues . for a week, there . will not
be a grain fit for use. As the laborers are so
few, it is suggested that tbe Government detach
enough sofdiers, who understand farming, to reap
the grain and thresh it, and have it stowed away in
Government granaries-. It had better do this than
let it rot on tho Golds, and, at the same time, be
a standing temptation to the rebel army.
camp ntfMons.
It was given out in camp yesterday morning, on
the authority of a despatch which, it is said, had
been received by General Cooper, that General
McClellan was in possession of Biohmond. The
information was so positive that it was .believed on
all'Bides. i The joy of the troops knew no bounds,
and for hours and hours the woods resounded with
the cheers and huzzas of the soldiers; officers treat
about congratulating each other on the news, and
all seemed in; the best of spirits. I have never
seen a more joyous sot of 'officers and men in my
life; but when, in the evening, it was rumored that
tho news was untrue, the joy was. turned into in
dignation that such false reports should be Circu
lated. ‘When, about 8 o’clock, the Philadelphia
and Baltimore papers woro received, giving’the
full particulars of tiro battles on the Chickahoinioy
and the rout of Jackson’s army by the Pennsyl
vania Reserves, anoihor outburst of joy took place,
which lasted until midnight.. The desperate
courage and unflinching bravery of the Reserves
are the theme of all praise, and the soldiers, os
: pccially the Pennsylvania regiments in this depart
ment, are jubilant over the news. : IVo are expect
ing to hear every moment of the capture of the
rebel capital. ~
why run jacksok escape.
The ..news that Jackson, had gone to Richihond,
and made an attack on our troops near that city,
has not created much surprise here among persons,
who do not hold .high, official positions. Again has
Genera] Jackson out-goneralled our officers. Who’
is to blame for this I am not prepared to say, but
the responsibility is generally laid to those officers
who, instead of working together harmoniously for
the geod o£ the country, lie in camp defending
their plana, and at the same time turning a deaf
ear to the suggestions of others equally as braye
end scientific. Jackson has, no doubt, loft a small
force, under Ewell and Johnston, in this valley, to
watch us, while he, at his leisure, has heen march
ing to Riohmond to attack our forces in an Im
portant position. Through the bickerings-and
jealousies of our officers, our spy and reconnoitring
system has heen at a dead lock, and Jackson
and the principal portion of his forces have
gone to Richmond, while our army, large in num
bers, and supplied with one of the best artillery
trains ever allotted to any force, is lying in this vi
cinity, actually doing nothing but drilling an hour
or two a day, and then . passing tho time in the
manner which best suits them. The report that
McClellan knew that Jackson was marching on him
two days before the rebels appeared, while our
generals imagined that he wd£ before them, has not
surprised any'one who has paid particular attention.
to, oar oilioers and their movements in tho valley..
Surely the War Department should investigate the
case, and punish those who have committed a great
crime, either through ignorance of negligence. As
General Pope will have, in the future, the entire
control of affairs in this valley, and as ho is known
to be an able and energetic general, it is to be hoped
that everything will, In the future, work smoothly.
- and that success will again perch upon our banners.
WHY DO WE NOT ADVANCE?
As Jackson ia now at Riohmond, it is a mystery
why our ‘generals do not advance and capture
Staunton, the key to this valley. Ewell is no doubt
between here and there, hut ho has not enough
men to oppose our forces. True, many will say . that
before Pope reaches Staunton the rebels can con
centrate enough forces there to make it almost im
pregnable. Grant it; but by so doing they have
to withdraw the troops from thoso menacing Mc-
Clellan, and by so doing they will make McClel
lan’s victory a far easier one that he expects It will
bo. •
Another argument made by somecroakers against
our army moving is that our droops need rest, and
are in want of clothing. This might be a good
point if our forces were opposed to troops well
clothed, but I have seen thousands of Confederate
troops, and not a single one of them but had clothes
far inferior, both in material and mako, to anyl
ever saw on Union troops.
WHAT THE PBOTLE OE WINCHESTER THINK OFTHE
LATE BATTLES. NEAR RICHMOND. ' .
Lieut. Spurge, of Gen. Slough’s staff, an intel
ligent .officer, who has just returned from that hot
bed : of Secession, Winchester, informs me that the
Secessionists of that city aro jubilant over what
they call- the rebel viotory atßiebmond. Every
little movement our generals make, which looks
like the giving of ground, is heralded by them as
a “ brilliant victory ” for the rebels, and they go
off Eke a rocket during a 4th-of-July celebration.
The people do not believe Jackson isin Richmond,
but profess to have true information from his army,
to iho eflcetjthat he is still in this valley, and was
preparing to make another raid northward. This
is all bosh, and is only one of the rebel plans to
humbug our generals in this department. .
RECONNOITRING PARTIES;
. Three strong reconnoitring parties, oomprising
infantry, cavalry,, and artillery, went out—one
from General Banks’ corps, one from Sigel’a, and
ono from General Milroy’s brigade. One went to
WardenviUe, another to some point on the Front
Royal and Manassas Railroad, and another to
Woodstock. The one sent to the latter place went
from General Miiroy’s command, and was under
command of Colonel Ehrens,-of the 2d Virginia Re
giment. They had orders to proceed to Woodstock,
and as far south as .they could safely-go. 'They
have not been heard-from since, and as it Is ex
pected that they will be back to-day, I.will be on
hand and obtain all the .informStion possible for
your readers. -The officer in command of fhe ex
pedition to WardenviUe telegraphed to-day to Gen.
Sigel that he drove the rebel pickets in near Moor

THE EECOKNOISSAKC* BEYOND WOODSTOCK.
\ The reconnoitring expedition sent out by General
Milroy has returned. They went as far as Ebens
burg, eiglt miles beyond Woodstock. Ho rebels
were seen until they reached the former place, but
evidence was accumulated that they visited that
vicinity frequently , in the absence 'of our [forces.
At Ebensburg a number of rebel cavalry wore dis
persed. Our forces consisted of a regiment of in
fantry, a squadron of cavalry, and two pieces of
artillery belonging to an Ohio-battery. As our
forces approached Ebensburg, the rebel cavalry
were found drawn up in line of battle. Our forces
were placed in a like position, and our artillery,
opened fire. The. cavalry stood the .first two or
three shells,: but presently it became too hot for
them, and they “skedaddled.” . The scene was
certainly ludicrous in the extreme—the rebels,
like frightened sheep, running in every direction
closely pursued by our troops, who took every fa
vorable opportunity to empty a saddle or take a
rebel prisoner. - : Several prisoners were taken and
brought to Strasburg.: They stated that they be
longed to Ashby’s cavalry, but refused to inform
our officers of the whereabouts of the main force
of that body of men. The prisoners were dressed
in gray uniforms, and most of them were well
mounted, having furnished their own horses to the
Confederal Government. They are a fine, hcalthy
lookiDg set of men, and seemed indifferent as to
what would be their fate.
GUERILLAS. STILL ABOUND.
I’or several days past no depredations by gueril
las bad been made public, and every one was con
gratulating himself that this terrible and unchris -.
tian mode of warfare was stopped in this section of
the; country.' Last night our pickets, stationed on
Cedar creek, at a distance of about one hundred
rods.of Gen. Slough’s headquarters, were fired upon,
and one man, belonging to the District of Columbia'
Volunteers, was shot. Five shots were fired at our
pickets, only one of which took effect. Immediate
search was made by the rest of the pickets for the:
perpetrators of the dastardly outrage, but they
could not be discovered. Suspicion having fallen
on a person living near the scene, he was arrested,
and is now in close confinement. He protests that
he knows nothing of the affair, even not. hearing
the firing, although he lives only a rod or two from
where our pickets are posted. J. M. C.
(Special Correspondence of The Press ]
Fkont Royal, Va., July 7, 1862.
THE ADVANCE BEGINNING. .
General Cooper’s division, composed of his own
and General Slough’s brigade; have reached this
place, en rente for Richmond. General Cooper’s
own brigade left Cedar creek at 4 o’ciook on Satur
day afternoon and reached here at 11 o’clock the
same night, while. General Slough’s brigade, which:
left the same place an hour later, did not reach
here until Sunday morning at 101 o’clock.' The
distance is only some fifteen miles, and it took
some sixteen hours to accomplish this. The cause
of this was the bad arrangement of Gen. Cooper’s
wagontrain. This' train, consisting of from 50 to
100 wagons, was placed behind General Cooper's
own.brigade, and any one who has seen an; army
train move can imagine the trouble. The road was
none the best In the world, and was only wide
enough to accommodate a single wagon. Several
of the hills were steep, and H was impossible to
haul the teams up them without; procuring addi
tional help, and this, of course, consumed con-,
Bidefable time., Then some wagons broke .down,'
and the . soldiers were compelled to unload and
haul thom into an adjoining field, before they.oould
get past. .
, ; As I said before, Gen. Slough’s brigade was be
hind this long train, and.tho.incidents I have enu-.
merated, with thousands of others, kept the brigade
from marching on. G en. Slough being absent in
Washington, Col. Tail, of the Ist Regiment District
of Columbia—than whom there is no more genial
gentleman and braver soldier living—had command
of tlie’brigade, and he, with the accomplished aids
of Gen. Slough, Adjutant Gale and Lieut. Shipman j. .:
were continually riding along the lines encouraging
the soldiers and speaking words of comfort to them.
•Lieutenant Spurges; another of Gen. Slough’s aids,;
although suffering from a severe attack of sickness,
was everywhere present and ably assisted Colonel ‘
Tait.
TWO CENTS.
FROST ROYAL,
Front Uoyal is situated on the Manassas Sap
Railroad, and is eighteen miles from Winchester,
eleven from Middletown, twelve from Strasburg,
and fifty-one from Manassas Gap. A few miles
above the town' the railroad crossed the north and
south banks of the Shenandoah by a beautiful rail
road Bridge, but this was destroyed by Jackson du
ring one of his raids. Within sight of the destroyed
bridge the north and.south branches of the Shonan
doah meet and thus form one river, which rolls on
until it empties into the Potomac at Harper’s Ferry.
The town of Front Royal contains three or four
hundred inhabitants, and looks,as if at one time it
was a pretty town ; but war, like every other place
it ha 3 touohed, has left its mark in closed stores and
deserted dwelling-houses, and the total cessation of
business. The houses are mostly built of wood,
two stories high, and they are kept as neat and
clean as could be expected considering the large
army which is now quartered in their midst. The
town at one time boasted of two fine hotels, both of
which are now deserted.
THE FRONT ROYALISTS.
There are hot many men in town, most of the
male population having enlisted or been drafted
into the rebel army. What are left are rank Se- :
ceEsionists, and would not scrapie at committing
any deed that would injure the Union'soldiers, if
they had the chance. . Scarcely a house in town but
has a representative in; the rebel army, and those
who are left , behind boast of it. .The women, as
might be expected, are far more, bitter, in their de
nunciation of the Korth and the Union army than
the men, and they let slip no opportunity of prating
of their rights,' and of the high and chivalrie con
duct of the “noble” Southern people. They are
far more outspoken than the men, and I confess
that when one gets a rank female Secessionist to
preach about the glorious South, and the means
taken to “subjugate” it, it is the hardest thing
imaginable to stop her, and before you do, ten to
one you , will hoar one of the neatest speeches and
most ingenious arguments come from her lips. In
justice to the women of Virginia, iet me say that
everyplaoel have yet visited I have found the
ladies,' as a class, the best educated and most intel
ligent of the two sexes. "
A SOUTHERN SELLE.
The celebrated Belle Boy ij the notorious spy and
traitress, is at present in the town, and is stop
ping at one of the principal private residences.
This woman is one of the best educated and no
toriously corrupt females of Virginia, and she has
been arrested time and again for carrying-de
spatches to the rebel army, ‘ and for,managing a
thorough spy system. She has been placed on her
parole several times, but she never has kept it.
Her residence is in Martinsburg, but she princi
pally. lives in Front Royal. When Col. Kcnly’s
command was attacked, and almost annihilated at;
that point, last May, this woman was on one of the
principal hills waving her handkerchief for the
Southern soldiers to come on, and showing them
Where they could outflank our forces. She was
within direct range of both' of tho fires, but was
not injured. .
.MILITARY MOVEMENTS,
Gigantic military movements are now going on
at tbis place, and, although their nature cannot at
present be made public, they will shortly create no
greater astonishment in the North than the South.
Thousands of troops are entering and. departing
from this place, daily, and their destination, as is
every where known, is Richmond, but by, what route
it is not at present prudent to say. The only. Penn
sylvania regiments in this command at this time are
the 75th, late Colonel Boblen’s, Colonel Kollos’
73d, and, I think, the 109th, Colonel Siainrook, and
the 111th, Colonel (now acting brigadier general)
Siandeoker. The troops are a fine-looking body of
men, and, under the lead ofbrave and accomplished
officers, they will make their mark on the rebe'a. •
THE MOVEMENTS OF GENERALS.
General Pope and General Sigol .are both in
Washington, and it is expected that they will leave
that place together, and lead their respective com
mands against the rebels. General Banks, has-te
turred from Washington, and has established Ms
headquarters, temporarily, at the old Front Royal
Hotel, in this place. He is expected to leave to
morrow, to take command of the troopsin the field.
More troops still continue to, pour into and de
part from this place. General Banks, with his
staff, departed this morning, and took the road,
to. . ,
Major B'anchard, of the 78th New Fork Regi
ment, the provost marshal of General Cooper's di
vision, has moved on, and has been succeeded by.
Lieutenant Colonel Batcbeldcr, of the 2d Massa
chusetts Regiment, the energetic provost marshal
of General Banks’corps d’armeel
Companies C, E, and E, of the 29fch Pennsylvania,
Colonel Murphy’s regiment, are doing, provost
exDficted, Jbe joined to
morrow, by. the rest of the companies or the'r egv
ment. Lieutenant Colonel Parham, although still
on the sick list, is in immediate command of the
regiment, and is doing everything in his power to
tend to its comfort. . J. M. ; C.
The Operations in front of Vicksburg,
Commodore Porter, of the mortar fleet, before Vicks
burg, has forwarded the following, through Flag-officer
Forragut, to the Havy Department:
H. B. STEA3tEB OCTARORA, OFF VICKSBORG, >
Tuesday, July 1,1862. $
Sia: You no doubt wondered what our firing has been
about. The enemy are trying to erect defences to sweep
the river, and drive>ff the mortars. We drive them off
as often as they attempt to work.
We. have dismounted one gun on the water-battery,
which they cairnot mount again. for onrfire, whichia
very accurate. We have dismounted another in. the
large fort—their big rifled gun—and they dismounted a
gun by overworking it, carrying away the leap squares.
We found out the two former by prisoners taken, and
the last by reconnoitring.
Our pickets have .been almost insido of the fortress.
Yesterday the rebels came down oh the head of the mor
tars with one regiment of Tennessee troops and one re
giment of Miseissippiane, white ajjrigade attempted to
get into the rear of them, not knowing the force of
steamers we had there. Our pickets discovered them,
and fell back and reported.
j&Witli a hundred men on shore we would have taken,
many of them.
The prisoners inform ns that at one time the whole
patly got stuck in the mnd, and were perfectly helpless.
Tho rebel troops were toid they were going to attack
land forces, and were very indignant at the officers for
lauding them into such a scrape.

The Affair at Tomkinsrille, Ky.
Cave City, July 11.—This place; for the last twenty
four hours, has been full of rumors of a terrible reverse
and cutting up of a detail from Colonel Williams’ Pev:t-
Bilvania Lochiel Cavalry, at TompkinsviUe, in Monroe
county, by an overpowering band of guerillas. Ouv.ap
prehensions were relieved by the arrival here this eve
ning of twenty prisoners taken by a rebel detachment
under Morgan, Champ, Ferguson, Hamilton, and Hunt,
consisting-of fifteen hundred mounted men and three
cannon. This force surrounded Major Jordan’s com
mand of two hundred and fifty men at daybroak, day be
fore jesterflay, and poured in a terrible fire upon them,
having driven in their pickets. Lieut. Sullivan, of the
Lochiel Cavalry, and three others were killed,’ and
twenty taken prisoners with Major Jardan, but all were
paroled except the major. The rebels lost nine killed
and several wounded, moßt of wham were, taken off, but .
Colonel Hunt was so badly wounded that he could not
•be moved, and therefore tke'rebels, in their precipitate
retreat, left him at TompkinsviUe. The paroled prison
ers, who arrived here, are unable to say what direction
the flying rebels took.. The telegraph lines are in work
ing order all the way.through to Nashville, aud.the re
ports of the railroad having been tom up or interrupted
are false. The cars have been in Governmental use all
day, and every arrangement has been promptly made by
General Boyle, and by Colonel Bruce at Bowling Green,
to prevent any further incursions by the thieving hand
in the direction of ihis great route of travel. Itis thought
that Morgan went towards Glasgow, hut there is no defi
nite news in tbis particular. .
;- The 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry Begiment was raised at
Harrisburg, and is known as the Lochiel Cavalry. It is
commanded by Colonel E. 0. Williams, of Harrisburg,
who had a brigade in General Patterson’s army in tho
Ihree-montlis campaign. Captain. Thomas 0. James, of
the Philadelphia First City Troop, is lieutenant colonel
of the regiment. IVc trust that tho. reports of its losses
are greatly exaggerated, A battalion of the regiment
was in the fight at Murfreesboro’, and it is reported that
200 men were killed, wounded, and missing, out of a
total of only 225 there engaged.
The Charge against Gen. Mitchell

put forth a few days since by the Louisville Journal: \
Major Ges’ehjl Mitchell— Dear Sir: Your atten
tion is hereby called to :an extract, from the Louisville
Journal, of tho 10th Inst. Those of us who know you
personally, know that tho charge is ntterly-false. The
world needs ,only;yourdepial under yourown signature.
Yours, very truly,
- B. F. Gamp,- No. 116 Madison avenue.
: . Washington', Jnlyl4.
To Son B. !■'. Camp, 1W Madison avenue, Sew York :
I have your note of the 12th inst., calling my attention
to an editoriol in the .Louisville Journal , of the 10th
inst., to which I am charged with conduct “ not only in.
jnriousto the Government but disgraceful to humanity.”
As there are no specifications to this charge, I cau
only pronounce it to be in the broadest sense unjust, un
founded, false, and calumnious. I havenover, in ail my.
life,, consciously, done an injury to any human being.
As to deeds of erheity end guilt, my entire nature revolts
at both ; and my countrymen , can never be persuaded
that I have been guilty of c-ither.
I demand the specifications, pronouncing the charges
utterly and absolutely false.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,. .

A Letter from General McCall.
After the long and terrible suspense experienced here
in regard to the fate.-of General McCallgwe have (he
grant!cation of-stnting that a letter has been received
from him by Mis. McCall saying that he is a prisoner in
Richmond and uninjured, Mb was struck in the breast ,
by a spent ball, the effects .of which.vvere but temporary.
The general also sends word that"ho'is quartered for the .
present at tho '< SpotßWood House,” the principal hotel
in Richmond, and that thus far ho has been veiy kindly
treated. His capture is a source of deep regret, but it is
indeed a aource of consolation to all Ills friends that he.
ie safe and troll eared for, We learn that bis capture
was in this wise: he had posted one of the regiments of
his (division: in a particular locality, and during his ab
sence it vsb movfd without his orders or knowledge.’
When he returned from another part of tho field the
place was occupied by a rebel regiment, and it being
dark he rode into the midst of the enemy, was sur
rounded and carried io Gen. Leo’s headquarters as a pri
soner of war.— West Chester Republican: ’
A,PROFITABLE GENRRAL.—TheNew York Fast
saysof Gen. Mitchell: We are told by a gentleman who
has been with him throughout, that; with .fifteen thou
sand men under his command it has cost the Government
nothing for forage, and very . little, comparatively, for
pay. One instance of his readiness may be related :
lie tool: a fort composed’chiefiy of cotton bales; he first
- made those bales ft floating bridgej ever which he curried
alibis wagons and troops, and lie then shipped-thorn to
Rash vide by railroad, where he sold them for twenty
thousand dollars in gold. ,

Another Letter from Gen. Butler—Expla-
nation of the “ Woman” Order f
ins following characteristic letter from Gen. Butler,
explaining his reasons for issuing the celebrated order in
regard to the women of New Orleans, has been received
by a gentlemen of Boston. Tbe order referred-to in the
letter has already been published:
Headquarters Department or the Gulf, >
Sew Orleans, July 2; 1862. )
Wy Dear-Sir : I am a? jealous of tbe good opinion of my
friends as I asi careless of fbe glanders of my enemies,
and jonr kind expressions in regard to Order No, 28
lead me to say a word to you on the subject,
That it ever conld have been so miaconceived as it haa
been by some portions of tho: Northern press is 'U’onder
fnl, and would lead one to exclaim with- the Jew, «O,
Patber: Abraham, what these Clirisliana are, whose own
hard dealings teach them to suspect the thoughts of
others!”
"What was the state of things to which the woman,
erder applied ‘l
We were two thousand five hundred men In a city seven
miles long by two to four wide, of a hundred and fifty
thousand inhabitants, all hostile, bitter, defiant, explo
sive, standirg literally on a magazine; a spark only
needed for destruction. The Devil had entered the hearts
of fc !he women of this town, (you know seyen of them
chose Mary Magdalen for a residence,) to stir up strife in.
eyery way possible., Every opprobrious epithet, eYery in
lultinggesture, was mode hj thesebejewekdjbeorinolined,
and laced creatures, calling themselves ladies, toward my
soldiers and officers, from the windows of houses and in
tbe streets. How tong do you suppose our flesh and blood
conld have stood this without retort? That would lead
to disturbances and riot, from which we must clear tbe
Btreets with artillery—and then a bowl that.we had mur
dered these fine women. I had arrested the men who had
hurrahed for Beauregard. Could I arrest tbe women %
No." What was to be done? No order could Be mads
save one. that would execute itself. With anxious, care
ful thought I hit upeu this: t: Women who insult my
soldiers are to be regarded and treaxed as common women
plying their vocation. 5 ’
Pray, how do you treat a common woman plying her
vocation in the streets'? You pass her by unheeded.
She cannot insult you- > As a gentleman, you can'and
will take no notice of her. If she Bpeaks, her words are
not opprobrious. It is only when she becomes a con
tinuous and positive nuisance that you call a watchman
and give her in charge to bim.
. But some of the . Not them editors seem to think that
whenever one meets each a woman, one must stop her,
isVk with her, insult her, or hold dalUacce with her, and
E® from their own conduct they construed my order.
llte editor of tbe Courier may se deal with
common women, and out of tbe abundance of the heart
. his mouth may speak—but so do not I,
"Why, these sbe-adders of New* Orleans themselves were
afe once shamed into propriety of conduct by the order,
and! from that day no woman has either insulted or an
noyed any live soldier or officer, and of a certainty no
soldier has iusuUed any woman.
; When I passed through Baltimore on tho 23d of Feb
ruary last, membets of my staff were insulted by the ges
tures of the ladies (I) there. Not so in New Orleans.
One of Ihe worst possible of all these women showed
dkrepfct to the remains of gallant young De Kay, and
you will eeo her pnimbment. A copy of the ordar
which I enclose is at once a vindication and a con
struction of my order. .
lean only say that I would issue it again under like
circumstances. Again thanking yon for your kiud in
terest, I am, truly your friend, 1
BENJ. F. BTJTLEB,
Major General Commanding.
THE ELLSWORTH AVENGERS,—A correspondent
of the Buffalo Express, writing from Old Point Comfort,
on July'4, soys: _ ...
The 44th, which I persist in calling the finest regi
ment that ever took the field, is a mere wreck. On
Wednesday, after tho last of their many fights, they
Etoctcdaims withonly 90 muskets—a sad remainder of
the original 1 040 men. Of tho greater portion, are
fciiled, more aie wounded, and stiU more are home on
sick leave,”
TYPOGRAPHICAL CURIOSITY.—At the great Ex
hibition, as a specimen of fine type and printing, there
5s a copy' of the entire New Testament printed upon a
single sheet of paper- It was printed by .Collins, of
Glasgow, the, celebrated publisher of rare books and
beautiful editions of tbe classics. Although so small tba
type is staled to be very clear.
'IN A CRITICAL CONDITION.—The St. John, N. B. t
FYeeman, of the sth instant, is in a very nervous con
dition becan?e some one raised a United States flag on
one of the engine houses of the city on the Fourth. It
deprecates the act as an invasion of that neutrality which
the community of New Brunswick maintain.
NEW GOLD FIELD.—A nevr golu-fitld has been dis
covered in Southern California, near the Col *rado river,
which It is expected, witi dev*lop an extent of several
tliouftnds of square’miles, and perhaps equal the origi
nal wealth cf California.
CURRANT WINEI—A regular currant wine manu
factory has been in operation the present season at Lafa
yette, Did.,' and has turned out several thousand gallons
of the beverage,’.which is said to be a first-rate article.
' ; STRENGTH OF THE BRITISH ARMY.—The
. British troops at present reach the number of 200,000
effectives. Of these, abfui 03,000 are in "India, about
60,000 iu the Colonies, and the remaining 83,000 form tho
B tasding army at home.
