learn by Telegraph, a we go to press, that
our nriny is in Kichinond. This news needs
confirmation.
A later despatch says McClcllan has re
treated 1? miles under cover of our gunboats.
DIF.P. In this place, on Wednesday
morning last, Hon. CH AIILK8 W. HKCINS,
1 resident Judge of the .Schuylkill county
District, ngell about 49 years.
Judge llcgiiis had been in declining health
for several years past, suffering severely from
occasional uttaeks of inflammatory rheuma
tism, which induced complication of dis
eases that finally terminated in his death. 1
His last illness commenced about six weeks
ago, and finding no relief under the best
medical skill at Pottsvillc, ho resolved to
return to his native place and former home,
the family of his sister, lie arrived here
about ten days since, and has bee n gradually
linking until death terminated his suffer
ings. Judge Ncgins was truly a self-made man.
Though laboring under physical disability,
caused by disease of the spine, he possessed
more than ordinary energy. When quite n
young man he e ntered upon the duties of
Clerk to the Frothonotary, then K. Y.
Bright, Esq. At the same time he was
studying law under the late Judge Dnnnul.
Iu 181S8 he was elected to the Legislature
from this county, and subsequently Clerk to
the State Senate. About lSoO he commenced
the practice of law in Tottsvillc, and not
long after was elected President Judge of
that District. His mind was of a superior
last. As a lawyer he was clear, methodical
and quick in perception. As a man and
boy ho was always esteemed for his gene
rous impulses, manly bearing, and honora
ble conduct. We knew him well, and as a
friend and associate from early youth, we
cannot say less, and might, with truth, say
much more. His death will be deeply re
gretted not only by his near relatives, to
whom he extended more than a father's
care, but by a large circle of friends and
acquaintances.
The reports of the battle before
Kichmond have caused many painful appre
hensions on the part of parents und others
having sons and relatives in the army. The
papers state that the 11th Infantry of Regu
lars was badly cut up, and most of the offi
cers killed and wounded. Lieutenant Israel
Pleasants, son of Charles Pleasants, Ksq., of
this place, belongs to this regiment. The
uncertainty of his fate naturally causes great
anxiety among his family and friends.

Tjie recent great battle before Rich
mond, some of the details of which will be
found iu our columns, is one of the greatest
in importance and extent of modern times.
General MeC'lcllau's army, has, no doubt,
sulfcred severely in this terrible conflict.
But from what we can understand, our army
bus, by this last movement, secured an im
portant position iu its operations against
Richmond. In changing from the marshy
ground of the Chickahominy to the banks
of the James River, General McQlcllan has
also .secured the co operation of the gun
boats. The rebels, no doubt, saw that per
haps their last and only chance was, to pre
vent this movement, and made a most des
perate dibit to out think or get in the rear of
our army. Rut little of the details of the
battle are known, but enough has been elici
ted to satisfy us that thousands of addition
al mourners will have to be added to the
already long list, for relatives and friends
who have fallen on these eventful days before
Richmond.
Bhoild Women Voth. This sub
net has engaged the attention of our Snyder
county friends. The Franklin Lyceum re
cently held a public discussion in the Court
House, at Middlcburg, on the question,
"Should the. elective franchise be extended
to the female sex, or should woman be al
lowed to vote and hold office." The meeting
was prcnided over by J. II. Louis, President
of the Society, assisted by Misses II. 13
Swim-ford and M. L. Shindcl. Tims. Rower
Hnd Dr. J. Hassenplug acting as Umpir
who, after hearing the argument on both
tdts, deeideil the question iu the uegative
Our own opinion in regard to exteudin;
the. ihctivc franchise to women has been
somewhat modified the past year. Win re
men become so tlegeuerutc as to forget their
patriotism, in order to serve a few petty
politicians iu their greed for office, it would
be well enough for women to supersede their
recreant husbands iu the exercise of a privi
lege which they so little know how to ap
preciate. Wherever the heresies of Brtckin
ridgc prevail, there the women should be
permitted to hold the reins. Snyder county,
also Columbia county and some sections of
this county, might be benefitted by Hitch a
change. Rut such a privilege would sci.l
the fate of the Rreekinridge organs iu these
counties, as but few of our women sympa
thize with these white feathered patriots,
who profess to be Democrats in order to
deceive the people, while their ucts t-how
them to be the veriest demagogues on earth,
who arc governed solely by office or the
:;cvcn principles of John Randolph, namely,
the ''live loaves ami two lUlus."

The enemy did their bet Yesterday to
conquer our troops. Men never fought hard
er than they did, yet they wl're compelled to
give way to invincible troops fighting for
the salvation and perpetuation of the glori
ous Union. Several Ilebel regiments hail
just joined the Hohcl army of the Potomac.

were urged on by troops in the rear who
had been longer "in tho service. All the
coaxing and urging in the world would not
avail in this case. Our men would open
upon them, nt short range, witn theirdeadly
rifles, strewing the grouud with their dead
and wounded.
The correspondents, of The Inquirer were
on the ground at the outset, and advanced
with the gallant troops.
Our troops hnd every disadvantage. TJic
whole country in front of them was n denso
swamp. It was almost an mipossility to seo
ten steps beloro you. i lie Vi illiunisburg
stage road was one seething mass of mud
and stagnated water, which was imbedded
three Scccsh transportation wagons, over
hub-deep. The men fought over knee-deep
in this swamp and road. It was, and is
now, the worst road we ever attempted to
travel on.
During the first attack our troops suffered
very little loss, although the enemy made a
determined stand and did not give way
without a severe struggle. It was in their
efforts to regain their lost posit ioti that led
to loss on both sides, although the enemy's
casanlties outnumbered ours greatly.
During the struggle the enemy received a
cross tire from the redoubt, supported by
lien. .Meagher s lingaile, which ilul them a
great deal of damage.
While the Itebels were advancing, they
set ui) n tremendous noise, not the ponder
ous and manly 1 iu;, like unto that made
bv our troops, but the pcttv and childish
noise of a vast assemblage of school bovs.
Thev presumed that, like the Chinese, thev
could fright their adversaries with fearful
noises.' Our men kept steadv at their ad
vanee, and at every charge sent them reeling
back out ot range.
Just about sunilown. last evening, a move
ment was observed along the lines of the
enemy. It soon became evident that they
were relieving their tired and well-whipiied
brigades with fresh troops. Our troops
opened upon them, the unerring .Minnie do
ing its deadly work, as Was apparent from
tin; number strewing the ground.
During tho night the enemy kept up a
continual cannonading, throwing shell into
the woods, doing some considerable damage
to the Rhode Island Second, w ho were hold
ing n position in the woods. I saw several
of the poor fellows buried this morning, in
front of the entrenchments at ihe side ol the
two lodge houses, at Fair Oak (trove. The
Chaplain of the regiment attended to tlic
last sad rites, delivered an appropriate prayer
over each body. It was a sad scene. The
comrades of the departed heroes Htood
around with uncovered heads, many of
them shedding tears at their unhappy fate.
Lieutenant JJulloek, who was so severely
wounded yesterday by the discharge from
one of our ow n guns, w as alive up to noon
to-day. lie is mortally VBumlcd. Ills bro
ther is paying all attention to him. The
wounding of this officer was a very unfortu
nate occurrence. At the head of his men, he
w as holding the enemy at bay. Our cannon
in the rear opened, and one gun having an
inferior cartridge, the round piece id wood
that is strapped to the shell or ball, struck
the Lieutenant in the side, unking a horrible
wound.
During the niijht Kearney's Division was
furiously attacked very suddenly. The ene
my were driven off, ns usual. All their at
tacks arc quickly made, with little noise
until discovered, und then come their Chi
nese yells.
Itencra! Hookers Division bore the brunt
of the battle. Pickles' Uri.ide and the Jer

most pitiable state, covered w ith mud from
head to loot, and many ol them with their
clothes all torn from their persons. They
are sadly in need of clothing.

A very sad accident happened hero one day

become necessary.
There was also great commotion among
the crowds of contrabands, who have beed
found most efficient laborers, and who have
been used to great advantage in the com
missary imd munition departments. They
soon understood that danger was apprehen
ded, and on Wing assured by Col. Ingalls
that they would not be kit behind to meet
the vengeance of their masters, went to work
w it h renewed energy. H tore HHd munitions
everywhere disappeared from the landings
with great rapidity, and were being packed
on the wharf boats and vessels contiguous.
The wives and children of the contrabands
also soon tnado their appearance, and with
bundles und babies took position on the
caual boats as they were floated out in the
stream.
The mail steamer, which should have left
for Fortress Monroe at seven o'clock in tlic
morning, was ordered to be detained, and
at nine o'clock a despatch was received that
a general battle was progressing along the
whole line, the enemy having renewed the
attempt to flank Gen. Purler' position on
the right wing.' At eleven o'clock a si'cond
despatch announced that Hon. Torter had
driven tho enemy before lnm and repulsed
them three times with terrific slaughter, and
was then ordered by Gen. McClelhtn to fall
back. This despatch was a signal for re
newed energy in the work of evacuation,
and all the Qunrtermnster s papers and vat
uablett, and the chests ot the Paymasters
were brought on board tlic mail boat.
THE VANIC ClIIXKKll.
During the afternoon the panic, increased
until half past three o'clock, and the steam
ers and tugs were busily engaged in towing
down the transports. At three o'clock a
despatch wan received from head-qu:fYters,
in substance as follows :
" It (i hnrv Item driciwi the enemy 11 'ore vn

This was the signal for a new change in
the programme. All the Government valu
ables and the property of the ollicers was
taken off of the mail-boat and placed on
board the steamer Camonico, and tlic order
given for the departure of the mail-boat,
which left at three o'clock for Fortress
Monroe, taking with her in tow two heavily
laden steamers, with directions for them to
be dropped at West Point.

From the foregoing I think I have con
clusively proven that the object of General
MeC'lellan, long before the battle on Friday,
was to abandon the White House, and a No
draw in his riydit wing ocross I lit' Chicka
hominy. That he lias accomplished this
most masterly movement with but little lo.-,s
iu comparison w ith his puni.-hnicnt of the
enemy theru can be no doubt, and that he
has strengthened his position by recon
structing his lines, and changing the base of
his operations to the James river, is equally
self evident. There he will have the co
operation of the gunboats, and if tlic enemy
attempt to interrupt his supply ves-els by
making a dasli on the James river tliey will
meet with prompt punishment from the
gunboats, and so w eaken their forces in front
that the city will fall into his pn-se-ision
witli but a slight struggle. Although "hope
may be father to the thought." 1 would
wager a big apple that General MeC'lellan is
in possession of llichmonk by the Sunday
next. Yours, Ac, C. C. F.

In the midst of this closing scene of the

. THE CHEAT ALA KM.
On Friday morning the first item of news
lrom the lront, received by telegraph, was
gratifying annoiiueement that Stonewall
Jackson and F.wcll, iu attempting to turn
the right flank, were repulsed by General
McCall with his Pennsylvania Reserves, and
driven back with great slaughter. This at
tempt of Jackson was made at 3 o'clock in
the morning, and had closed at six oclock,
with a signal victory. This repulse is said
to have been one ot the most decisive and
destructive of the war, the enemy being put
to a complete rout, with very light loss to
our forces. Although at nitrht. nnd intend
ed for a surprise, the gallant Pennsylvunians
were lounu to tic wideawake. There was
however, every indication of a general bat
tie along the whole line, and Ocn. McClcllun
in order to uc ready tor any emergency,
gave directions to Uen. Casey and Col. In

dispatches dated on the battle field, on iuu
lay morning.
Ihe di.Matchc3 states that a severe and
most determined battle was loiitrht on the
mhl wing on lliursdav and i'lidav, which
ia claimed by some of our ollicers us a uc-
cesstul strategetic movement, driving tin
enemy immediately into a trap w hieh will
soon capture Kicbinoml and the entire rebel
army,
The attack was made bv the rebels in inl
ine u.c force who crossed the Chickahominy
near the railroad above .ucchauiesvillc on
Thursday afternoon.
Ihe rebels fought desperately, but were.
unable to drive our men a single rod, though
the cucmy were ten to our one. The only
force engaged that day w as McCall's division.
Ihe battle lasting lrom two oclock till
nine 1 w hen tuc division was ordered
back.
General McClcllun was on the field, and
expressed himself satisfied with the result
Another report is also published, tinted
June S7th, which states that our killed,
wounded uud missing will number twelve
hu lulled.
The object of the movement was to bring
General Porter's ami other Divisions into
lose connection with the rest of the army,
in fact changing the front or the whole of
our torecs, with our centre und left pressing
immediately on Kichmond itselt, which
could lie done and was expected on Satur
day. It was a virtual surrender or vac ating
ol u loug line of delenee, heretofore kept
up, to .Mcchanicsville, in order to have the
whole torce within a more ctlcctivc distance
also to allow the rebels to follow up and, if,
possible, to bag them.
General Mcl.lcllan ordered General l'ortcr
to withdraw to two miles this side of Gaiucs'
.Mills early on fru lay morning, which was
done, the enemy following and thinking they
had gained the victory, our troops slowly
moving back in order, fighting ns they went
crossiug the I liickahoiiiinv, uud reached the
position designed lor their occupation by
licucral .Mcllellan, the rebels billowed in
great force, and by three o'clock iu the after
noon a general and heavy engagement occur
red here lasting till seven o'clock w hen a lull
took place but the rebels a;
rent. General l'orter ordered General Moaeher
Jlrigado to eliarpo bnyoneta. which they oJM In tho
most Rnlliilit and heroic atyle, bareheaded I B their

Thin charge had an excellent effect. Tho rolieln
wero driven hack with great flaii);hter. and General
Porter waa preparing to move upon them over the
pilea of tho relict dead and dying, when tho enemy
again advanced steadily, ptrougly reinforced.
The lYnnsylvanian gavo them tho benefit of all
their splendid rifles, whilo tho batteries plnyod upon
them as before, creating sad bavoc. Indeed, tho
slaughter upon other fields during this war has never
been anything to coniparo to this. Tho rebels stag
gered under their losses, and our forces were advan
cing steadily uHn them, driving them back at every
point, whan a staff officer nslo up with an order from
the commander-in-chief to General f'orter, directing
him lo fall hack with his command, and cross tho
Chicknliominy.
The armed naval tug Dragon arrived from
the upper water of James river, about mid
day to-day. with dispatches from Flag Of
ficer Goldsborougb, who immediately con
sulted with Gen. J)ix. lheir tenor is
understood to be that General McClellan's
right was attacked with great impetuosity
by Stonewall Jackson, whose men, with al
most inconceivable courage, successfully
charged our artillery, sustaining u loss in the
exploit of probably not less than 51)00 men.
Our loss very severe. It was reported that
Jackson was killed ; that one of our Kriga-dicr-Gcnerals
was taken prisoner, together
with an entire regiment. General Fitz
John Porter, sorely pressed, crossed to the
right, or western side of the Chiekahominy,
the enemy taking the left. On his left. Gen.
McClcllun with much severe fighting, had
penetrated and passed through White-Oak
Swamp, with 40,000 men and 100 pieces of
artillery, to u secure and advantageous posi
tion, and had subsequently cut through a
line of communication with (lie James Kiver.
It is reported that, during the two days hard
tight mg. McClcllun s loss was ltl.tltlU. L n ler
this head we have no particulars whatever.
Col. Alexander had come through to James
liiver to select the new base, and Turkey
bend had been decided on. This is not far
from HO miles from Kichmond, and some 10
miles above City Point.
J he most prominent and important leaturc
covered by the reports is. that McClellan has
succeed in penetrating Y lute Dak hwamp,
anil in placing a very large force on the other
side of it. While this must have advanced
a heavy body of his best troops to within
four miles of Kichmond, it was at the same
time a bold push toward the point opposite
Fort Darling, on Drurys Uliut, the two
principal ideas held distinctly in view Fri
day evening, tlic hour of the last intelligence
from McClellan's left.
Font r. m. General Stoneman has arrived
here from Yorktown, having been cut off at
White House. Part of his command came
down by water last evening.

During last night a large number of steam
ers, towboats, and sail craft arrived lrom
iork Kiver. An immense fleet is still
behind in all not less than five hundred
il. This was the prize for which the
Kcbels struck at the White Mouse, and which
billed them completely. Probably not to
exceed U,000 worth of property was
Ic-droycd to prevent it fulling into the
enemy s hands, consisting ot w hisKv. porn,
corn, locomotivss, and u .small number of
arms.
The entire fleet will proceed up James
Kiver assoon as practicable. Quartermaster

troops had I o retire. Another occount con
firms the above in tlic main, lint states that
tha Massachusetts regiment did well. Our
loss is given at 84 killed, DUO wounded, and
124 missing.
Our camp is now ttithin range of the fire
of our gunboats, ami in safe condition. En
trenchments are being thrown up w hile we
await reinforcements.
General Brannan's troops to the number
of 2,000, had arrived from Key West at

The account of the light copied from the
Charleston papers is correct. The United

an attack, at 4 o'clock on the morning of the
loth lust., und were repulsed, utter lour
hours' hard fighting, with a loss of COS

General Butler has again struck terror
into the hearts of the rebels in New Orleans.
Acting upon the principle that summary
und decisive measures tire best fitted to break
the spirit of the secessionists, he has punish
ed one resident of New Orleans for inhuman
treatment of a slave woman, and has hung
another for tearing dow n the American llag.
More than a year ago General Dix sent his
famous order to the commander of a revenue
cntter at New Orleans, "If any man attempts
to haul down the American nag. sitoot him
on the spot." General Duller followed this
precept on tlic nth ot this month. The Hun
ii'.V Jilla,vl' June 8th, gives the accounts
w inch we copy below :
INHUMAN TltKAT.MKST OF A PL AVE.
The savs: Soon utter the arrival of
the United States forces in this city they re
ceived' information that arms and tents were
concealed in the house of one William T.
Hunter, who had sworn he would shoot nnv
damned Yankee who would enter his house
to look for them. An ollieer, in duo time,
was sent to search for them. To his agreea
ble surprise, lie was cordially received bv
the owner ot the house, who informed the
otlicer that it was true lie had arms a dou
ble-barreled gun. an old uniform or two that
belontred to his son, and a small tent, which
hail escaped the wreck of Camp Lewis, which
was pitched in his garden as a play-house
for his children, and that he had no- other
such tiling in his house. The otlicer being
satished with this frank avow til. said lie
would not disturb the tent, children, uni
forms or gun. Thereupon the proprietor
politely invited him to take n drink.
On the next day Hunter proclaimed on
'Change, or in his neighborhood, that he had
a large quantity of tents iu his garret ; that
the Federal ollicers did not get them ; that
he could buy the ollieer with a drink ; and
further, that he could buy the whole set
with drinks, from the commanding ollieer
down.
This speech induced another examination,
which resulted in tlic finding of Major-Gen.
Lewis' marque, thirteen tents, ami more fur
niture in Mr. Hunter's attic, and sums pistols
ami two dirks in Mr. Hunter's keeping.
This lady's nerves were too sensitive to
accompany the ollieer in the search, and she
directed a neirro wouutu to show the ollieer
through the house.
tub i;i:m:i. s vusokanie iton his hi.avk.
Upon removing the contraband articles to
the railroad station Mrs. Hunter followed,
and informed the ollieer that the negro girl
had left the house and was intending to go
iwav. This ollieer said that could not be
permitted, and sent a corporal to conduct
oth women white and black to their
house, and assured Mrs. Hunter that the girl
had expresed no intention ot leaving In r
mistress. Fearing, however, lest the servants
should be suspected of having given infor
mation, the otlicer assured the lady that no
information had been received from tlic ser
vants, and they ought not to be punished.
lint the moment theolhcer retired thcuin
was locked up to await the return of her
master. When Mr. Hunter returned and
itsccrtaincil what had occurred, he demanded
ot his wile " liv she hail not shot the
lamncd Yankees." She retorted, 'Tlu-v
took away my arms." Upon this. Hunter
went to the closet and took from it a heavy
riding w hip, and beat the servant over the
head in such a manner as to cause heavy
bunches. He then took her down into the
back yard, chained her feet to a block, the
mistress, who claims to be one of the ladies
of New Orleans, fastening the shackles to
the block. The husband ami wife threw
the servant down upon her back, fastened
her hands to the feet of another servant,
who was forced to hold the girl out to her
lull length, i ne suspected L'irl w as then
subjected to head-shaving; her clothes were
next removed, and Hunter beat the exhaust
ed creature with the horsewhip until lie was
loo tired to stand, lie then culled lor a
chair, sat down and finished his brutal heat
ing in a sitting posture. The screams of the
sufferer attracted tlic attention of the ucigh-
iiornoon.
