I). K. Sickles, uiul the Fifth anil Sixth New
Jersey Hegiiue nts ; Gen. Ileintze lman having

THE BATTLE.
It was about a quarter of seven when Gen.
Ileintzelman ordered General Hooker to
attack the liebels in his front, and drive
them from tho woods. The Kxeelsior Bri
gade marched out from their camp in the
woods to the 'Williamsburg roael, the New
Jersey Fifth ami Sixth following. The
Kxeelsior Brigaele lileel in the wheat field iu
front of our earthworks, to the right of the
remel, while the two regiments id' New Jersey
troops took a position to the left. As the
Se-coud Uegiment, Excelsior Brigaele', was
forming in positiou to the frout of the wood
the liebels opened a rapid and heavy fire
upon it, killing two or three privates, and
wounding about six. Among those wound
ed at the first lire of the Bebcls was I.ieut.
Law rut (formerly un aid to Geu. Sickles)
aud dipt. Nolan.
The tire of the enemy immediately became
simultaneous along their entire line.
The New Jersey troops fought splendidly,
loading and tiring without flinching from
their position. General Sickles' regiments
did great execution, advancing at every fire
upon the Kebels, masked by tho wood.
However, it van plainly to be seen the
enemy had every udvautagc, and it was
resolved to clear the woods ut the point of
the bayonet.
General Sickles rode along the front of his
men, in tho midst of an irou hail which the
Kebels poured iu, and gave orilcrs for the
Second Uegiment, Col. G. B. Hall, to charge
bayonets. .No sooner was the order given
than the men fixed bayonets. Colonel Hall
gallautly led the charge one of the most
brilliant ever made iu any battle. Not a
taan shirked or straggled from the ranks.
The Kebels presented a Btroug front to the
gleaming bayomU of our nun, not a hun
dred jards distant.
A the buvnd advanced on the double
quick, cheering and shouting, the Rebels
held back their lire until our men were hard
ly one hundred feet from their line, when
they fired a murderous volley into tho ranks
of the Second. It proved too low and few
were killeei or wounded.
Immediately after the Kebels Creel thU
volley, they broke ranks and lied through
the w'oods. A few of their bravest remained
to resist cur iiasge, but they were scion
mowed down by the steel front of the gallant
Second Excelsior.
Major Herliert, of the Eighth Alabama
Regiment, was taken prisoner at this time.
His horse hud been shot under him, ami as
he fell ho reccivcil a shot in his side. He
sprang to his feet, however, almost instantly,
and sei'ing several of our men in front of
hint, mi-took them for some of his own
regiment.
"Bully once more, boys !" he cried, but
they corrected his mistake by presenting
their bayonets and demanding him to sur
render, which he did w ith all ihe grace and
finish that an original Secessionist, as he
afterwards informed me he was, could do
under the circumstances. The Kebels made
two or three attempts to flank us on the left
after retreating from their centre, but they
were beat back with great loss, our troops
pursuing them for nearly two miles.
liichardson's brigaele, before the enemy's
centre gave way, had a hard light ; the
ground was hotly contested by the Ke bels.
The Fourth and Fifth Excelsior Kegiments
were sent to support Kichiudson's Batteries,
but before the battery get in lair working
order, the enemy begun to show signs of a
retreat. The Ke'bel olh'cers could be heard
distinctly urging the men to light, but they
would run away. The Iri.-h Brigade fought
splendidly, and routed the Kebels ut the
point id' the bayonet.
None of our forces on the left fi.mk parti
oipatod in the light. The Kebels were de
f atnl and driven back by Hooker's and
Kiehardsou's Divisions.
Advance parties scoured the weunis on
both side-, of the Kichluond roael, and suc
ci rded iu capturing marly two hundred
of the: Kc.bi Is, among them three lie utenants.
At 11 o'elenk the tiring on both sides
ceased. The Kebels had fallen back to
beyond our original lines, leaving guard
stationed to watch our advance, and also to
briny; the ir wounded oil' the field.
The enemy were driven from eve ry posi
tion they occupied, by our troops. The
main column re-ted a mile in advance of
their poitien at the eominemeineiit of the
tight.
At about twelve o'clock Gen. McCkl'im
rode up to the front, accompanied by his
Stall" and IhhIv guard, and met Gen. Hcint
zc'man sei.tcel at the foot of a tree. Little
-Mac: democratically seated himself at the
side of llcintzclinan, on liii' ground, when
his Slati' grouped themselves resting on
stumps of trees anil logs. There was the
l'rince de Joiuville, Count do Paris and the
Hue de Chart res, forming a se lect group ed'

and the. cither nieinbi-rs cf Mct.'h-Uun's Staff,
joining in with a little English.

Gen. MeClelliiu had been seated probably
a half an hour, conversing with Gen. Ileint
zelman, w hen Gen. Hooker rode up from the
extreme advanced line gained thut morning,
ami a-) he was dismounting from his hor.-e
General MeCle'lan rose from his seat, and,
advancing, shook him warmly by the hand,
and congratulated him and his noble divi
sion in terms of the highest piuUc. A long
conversation took place between them. It
was plainly see n no further advance was to
be made that day, as no troops Were ordered
up to the front.
At a little alter one o'cloc k Gen. McC'lellan
mounted his horse and rode along the line s
of his troops, back and forth, until all the
soldiers had a good opportunity of reeing
him. Napoleon neve r was receive I by his
e:iithuMustie troops with greater niar.ilcsta
tion of delight than was MeClellan by his
army, showing that he possessed the confi
dence' as w ell as the hearts ol'his men. They
feel that they must ever be victorious under
his guidance.
Pri-.or.ers continued to be brought in very
f.i-t ; we had captured nearly live hunilrul.
They were immediately hauded over to
Provot Marshal Young, of General Hooker's
Divi-ion, who sent them properly guarded
to Kcint.ihnan's head quarters, at Savage's
Station. Many of them were dressed in new
clothes, captured in Casey's camp a large
supply having been sent up to Casey's Divi
sion a lew days before the battle, but had
not be e n distributed to the nu n. The result
was, that the enemy, who Lad been wearing
faded, worn-out home spun, dotted their
forms in our genteel uniforms. This was
the cause of many serious mistakes, our
men unfortunately mistaking them for our
own.
INCIDENTS OF THE FIELD.
Gen. Sickles had several narrow escapes ;
he was always to be found in the thickest
of the fight. Had those gifted Senators who
refused to confirm his nomination but wit
nessed the enthusiasm of his troops when
serving under him, and his military qualifi
cation for the olliee, they would do penance
until re-elected.
The Kebels, during the fight, hail their
sharpshoote rs posted in the trees to pick off
our olh'cers a fact discovered in the early
part of the action. One of these sharp
shooters hail been wounded, and lay clown
at the foot of a tree. As Gen. Sickles was
riding in the wood, he teiok deliberate aim
and fired, but fortunately missed his mark.
Some of our nieu rushed at the wounded
Rebel, and were about despatching him
with their bayonets, when Geu. Sickles
ordered them not to harm him, but take
him prisoner.
As I stooel watching the regiuwnts of
Hooker's Division inarch iu the battle-field,
1 recognized, marching ut the head of his
company, Capt. Johnson, belonging to thq
Third Regiment Excelsior. Capt. Johnson
was in the battle of Williamsburg, where he
noted with the most heroic courage, and
was wounded badly in the lel't arm by a
Minie ball. So dangerously was he woun
ded, that the surgeons, at one time, thoaght
an amputation of his arm would become
necessary to save Ids life. The wound,
however, took a favorable turn, and ho is
now in a lair way of recovering. At tho
head of his company marched this gallant
officer, his bandageel arm rebliug in a sling.
As he jiasscd by me, smiling, un Aid from
Gen. Kcycs, who, wilh his stair, was on tho
opposite side of tho road, rode up to me and
iuquircd the naruo of tho wounded officer.
I guvo it to him ; ho exclaimed, "Ha is a
brave man!" If Ids country rewards her
heroes, Capt. Johnson's name will stand
among the foremost.
There were many incidents illu-trating
fully the un tile of our men (ugaged in this
struggle. Many u private chsplatd deeds

A STAGE AND KoVR HOTtPES CAPTCHKP.
A small party of our men reeonnoitering,
met au omnibus drawn by foul line bay
horses, on the New Bridge road, going at a
spceely gait toward Richmond, and contain
ing two ollieers. Driving tho horses w ere
two contrabands. Lieutenant Lee crie d out
for them to stop, but no attention was paid
to the summons, and he ordered 1 he me n to
lire. One of the ollieers jumped out and
made good his escape in the weiods. The
other was shot as he had his head out of the
window urging the contrabands to gei faster.
The driver now held up, and Lieut. Lee
mounted the box, first placing the ni'groes
inside, in charge; of private Bind, One
hundredth New York. The Lii'iitetiant
brought the stage safely within our line s.
As it made its appearance, eme rging from
the wood on the Williamsburg, when- but a
few hours ago the enemy were disputing our
advance, it created the "most intense excite
ment and curiosity among our men. Many
supposed it was ant elown by Gen. Mc
Clellan, from Richmond, wilh the news ii
his occupation of the city. The stage is
comparatively new. In sie and shape it is
about the same as our Jlioadway stages,
perhaps a triile; lighter. From the fact ol its

if John S. has reccivcil payment for it. On

TIIE UATTl.F. FIELD.
Ill company with General Sieklis, Col.

fell on Saturday. Si me of them spoke
kindly of the Rel'i ls, saying they treated
them very Well. Dead Kebe Is, as will as our
own men, were lying in every part of the
field and wood. I counted lil'ty-M Veii dead
Kebels in front of a small piece of woods
not forty feet square. One wounded Rebel
was lying cm Ihe ground, unable to move;
he was shot in both legs. On each sielc of
him lay some dead Rebels. As we passed
by. he begged llr; for God's sake te) take the

The two contrabands captured with the
stage had left Richmond on Sunday morn

chartered the stage to take them out to sec

ities with much information relative to the
number and movements of ihe, Rebel force,
which is highly important.
exploits or col. lowe's iialloo.s.
Yon are aware that, through the over
whclmintr of General Casey's cti vi-ion, we;
we re terribly cut up and lost considerable
g.'imnd. Tite next day General Me Clcllau
determined, as 1 have before stated, to regain
it, and establish his supremacy in that. iuar
ter. Alter making all the necessary precau
tionary movements, and Liking the. proper
stcps lo move forward, he Bent up a balloon
to the distance c f two thousand feet, where
it was kept, ami a regular telegraphic com
iniinicatii'n established ltvm that elevated
point of view direct to the commanding
general. As soon ;l3 the telegraphers were
ready they minutely described the location
and number of the enemy's troops. And as
they advanced fur they were again coining
forward to charge upon what they supposed
emr demoralized iroops the operators gave
the general their force and the direction iu
which they were advancing, and he proni 1 1 y
ordered his troops to the proper place,
where the if.cliiy were lint, ami of ceuii.se
repulsed.
The Rebels, finding that wherever they
went they were met ly 1 m rw hi Imir.ir num
bers, or at points where they little supposed
they could be unnoyed by our troops, Ihe
balloon, of course, was pointed to h- the
enemy, and shortly aftenv arils they trained
a rille gun at the daring a rial general, and
after repeated firing they stuxccdul in ex
ploding shells near the balloon, in fact, mi
near that it was de emed imprr.de nt to remain
up any longe r in that precise location, ami
accordingly, the balloon was lowered to the
ground, to be shifted to another position.
Not many iniuutes elapsed before it was
again sent aloft, aud in a position not easily
reached by the enemy's missiles.
The communication, thus more securely
established, was again opened, and wilh the
same success, the ttronauts, reporting large
belches of troops in the rear of Richmond
marching up to the scene of deadly strife.
The telegraphers saw brigaele after brigade
marched up from the Re l ei stronghold, and
as rapidly as they advanced into action the y
were met in a style wholly incomprehensible
by the Rebels. To the in it seemed as if
their boasted "God of Battle" hail deserted
them, and they only advanced to furnish
food for the Yankees' deadly rifle balls.
Not a road was advanced upon, nor a bioael
field trodden upon by a re be llious body of
people but they were; confronted by our
people. After worrying them some time
tho gallant HcinUc lman charged upon them
with the trusty bayonet, ami drove them
back to their citadel frightened, anil suffer
ing a heavy loss in men. Tho sight must
have been, from their urial lookout, one of
grandeur not often witnessed by us ground
lings. So good was the standpoint from
which the telegraphers saw all and directed
all, that in many instances, with the aid of
very powerful glasses, the number of tho
rogimcnt could reaelily be discovered ; and
had the operators personally known or been
able to recognize the faces of liersons com
manding, they woulel have Uen able to
have given General McC'lcllati the names of
the Rebel generals in the field. If this is
not lighting a battle by llyhtniii-i, then pray
tell mo what it is I If only ono thing is
accomplished, it will bo to Impress upon tho
Rebel soldiery that the skill of our generals
is unapproachable, or lead them to think
that our urmy far outuumbers theirs. Every
oue's uttention could not have failed to have
lull attracted iu the balloou iu the air; aud
if the Rebels had only the ingenuity to con
struct a balloon, we might be cnnMed soon
to hear of a fight two thotlseul feet above
the surface cf the ground. The attempt of
the Rebels at Yorktown to use a balloon
proved a failure, and I think they have given
it up.
The telegraph corps are an arm c ihe;
service of the greatest importance and the;
least thought of.

TliU IMNANCl'S AND TIIE PUBLIC
iieut,
Mr. Yerhen. of Indiana, a few days ago,
provoked a diseusion in Congress on the
financial comtilion of the General Govern
ment that has developed the fact that, tho
expenses for ee ndue l ing t hp gigantic military
operations against ihe Rebellion are much
h-ss than the public had been led to believe,
and, indecel, much less than they wire pre
parcel te meet. For some months past it
has be. n ecneutly rcportcel that the daily
expenditures of the Treasury, on all accounts,
were from tlwee to four "milliona, which
would foot up an annual nggivgatc of from
nine hundred to twelve hundred millions.
But it appears, from atiietcmcnt prepared
at the; Tre;a'-uiy Department, unj nibmiltcel
to the Hou.-:e. ef Representatives, on Wed
ni'sdiiv last, by M c. Dawes, of Massaclura tt.e,
that the expenditures uru now averaging ono
million of dollars per day. They hftcc'lt'n
greatiT, but the; ij grcgate expenditures for
the Army and Navy, since the advent of tho
prc-enl Adi:r:i; trillion, we re but four huu
eiiisl im sixteen million dollars down tothei
"id of May.
So, too. 'about Ihe public de l l, the peoplo
at home havcbce ti appalleel. and the e ncmici
of the country abroad have been reioiea d by
certain sinisleT prophecies that at the- end eif
the present lise-id year (June 301 h) the nation
id delit would be from a th,.u-.and to twelve
liuiiilred millions, but it appe-irs that on the;
"id of May the public, ehl t was but sMSI,
000,1100, and on the C7th $ IS j.OOO.oo'ii, in
dueling 70,0000,000 left by the Buchanan
Ailtninistr.ition. At this rati; of increase ihe
public debt w ill be, on Ihc'oOth dav e f June,
about tf.'i lO.Otio.ooo. or less than half
the sum slated b the alarmists.
In g:iu.T these figures we call attention
to a brief iablu eonu.iued cui page Co of the
