AOOOI3IT OF A BATTLE IN RICH
YOND PAPERS.
FORTRESS MONROE, June 23; 8:30 A.
M.—The steamer Metamora arrived
from City Point last night, but too
late to send a dispatch through.
The Richmond papers of Saturday
_contain a brief account of a bloody
;battle fought on Monday last, be
tween five Federal regiments and a
battery of Parrott guns, and parts of
four Confederate regiments and a
battery. The battle lasted all day,
with a heavy loss on both sides.
The Charleston Mercury said that
the battle would be renewed the next
:day, and expressed apprehensions
for4be safety of the city, in conse
quence of the great exhaustion of
pie Southern troops, aid the loss of
many officers.
Generals Evans and Pemberton
complimented the troops for their
bravery in standing under the shells
of our gunboats and batteries.
The fight took place within four
miles of Charleston, and from the
tone of an editorial in the Mercury, I
should think that the rebels have
been cut off from a retreat by our
gunboats. If this be so, Charleston
Must soon fall.
The Dispatch says it can be no
longer denied that Jackson has been
heavily reinforced lately, and that
the Federal columns must either com
bine or fall back across the Potomac.
BUELL'S ARMY TO THE RESCUE--
TENNESSEE TO BE LIBERATED.
A private letter received in Phila

his way with his whole army to East

cinnati Commercial and other West

'ed about the middle of last week.—
The Cincinnati Commercial of Satur
day says :--" We have information
which we think entirely reliable,
,that the country may confidently ex
pect within a very few days to hear
of the liberation of East Tennessee.
The evacuation of Cumberland Gap
by the rebels, and the advance of
General Morgan, are only symptoms.
The entire State of Tennessee will
be in Rossession of the Federal an

our soldiers are eager for the fray
which is to end their suspense, and
give them some rest from their ardu

A REBEL 11TNERAL.
Gen. Mitchell, at Huntsville, in an
swer to a request by his prisoners,
allowed them the privilege of funer
al rites over their dead. Among '
those buried was a young officer, a
relative and namesake of Howell
Cobb. He was a brave young man,
and of refined manners. Two hun
dred young ladies of Huntsville
strewed his grave with flowers. Col
lonel Bernard MeGinness was also
buried by the rebel prisoners with
funeral honors. The Rev. Father
Tracy performed the solemn ceremo
nies of the Catholic Church in both
instances. So touched were the
prisoners at the kindness of Gen.
.Mitchell, that when they returned to
their gloomy quarters they passed a
series of resolutions, thanking the of
ficer for his kindness, and Gen. Mitch
ell for the courtesy he extended, and
closing with the hope that the day
might not be far distant when the
soldiers of the South and the defend
ers of the Union could shake hands
and fight by each other's side in a
common cause. The moral effect of
such an event is greater than that of
a battle. With this war brought to
a speedy close, how many thousands
will exclaim : "Oh, that we had
known each other better before !"
BEA.IIREGARD GONE TO RICHMOND
--WHY HE GOES THERE,
CORINTH, June 22—It is now posi
tively ascertained that Gen. Beaure
gard turned over his command to
Gen. Bragg on the 15th, and left for
Montgomery, where he arrived on
the 17th, accompanied only by his
personal staff, and left for Richmond.
Two reports have been received
here stating the cause of his depar
ture. One is that he goes to take a
command, and another that he goes
to explain the evacuation of Corinth.
The latter is considered' most proba
ble, as it is known that for some
time Beauregard and Jeff. Davis
have been on antagonistic terms.
GENERAL JORNSTOWEI WOUND.
A distinguished gentleman sojourn
ing in our city for a time past has
permitted us, says the Atlanta (Ga.)
littelligencer, to make the following
extract from a letter received by
him on yesterday from his accom
plished daughter, dated at Richmond,
June 2, where she was during the
recent battles before that city, on
Saturday and Sunday last. "Gener
al Johnston was wounded by a Min
ie ball in the shoulder. The ball pass
ed down his back, and has not been
found yet. At the same time a
spent shell struck him in the breast.
He fell from his horse and broke two
of his ribs ; so, of course, he suffers
very much. I spent all day yester
day with hiin. To-day be is much
better, although the ball has not yet
been extracted. '
Murders and Robberies by Reb-
el Guerrillas
Western Virginia is far from being
free of rebel robbers and murderers
The temporary withdrawal of our
troops from Randolph and Tucker
counties, was lately followed by all
sorts of outrages by guerrilla parties.
In Randolph county, while a meet
ing was being held to organize the
militia, a party of rebels under one
Bill Harbour made their appearance
and fired into the crowd. A Union
man named Whitman Ward, and a
secessionist named Dr. Renshaw,
were killed, and others wounded.—
The militia men scattered and es
caped, but Bill and his band captured
a dozen or more of the best horses in
that section, and fled to Pendleton
county. They robbed a Union man
named Benjamin I. Parris of his
watch, money and horse, , and abUsed
him badly beside:' Zeke Harbour, a
brother of Bill was also operating in
the same vicinity, robbing Union
men and stealing horses.
About a week before the occurren
ces above noted, these two Harbours,
who at that time had their forces
united, made a raid into Randolph
and Tucker counties, and robbed
the stores of a Mr. McLain and a Mr.
Hart, of a large lot of valuable goods
and about $5OO in money. After
this outrage, quite a number of seces
sionists in Randolph and Tucker,
who were suppote:ed to be giving- aid
and infoamation to the guerrillas,
were arrested and imprisoned at
Wheeling. A portion of the Tenth
Virginia regiment, Col. Harris, has
been sent into Randolph and Tucker
counties, and the men have been so
; disposed as to preient the recurrence
of any more raids.
ARTILLERY AT FAIR OAKS.—The

IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE GAINED.
GEN. MCCLELLAN'S HEADQUARTERS,
June 25—Evening.— Gen. Hooker, at
9 o'clock this morning advanced his
division with the view of occupying
a new position. The result was, that
his troops met with a most determ
ined resistance from the enemy,
which lasted until four o'clock in the
afternoon, during which, the rebels
were forced to give way before the
invincible courage of our men. Dur
ing the day, everything indicated a
general engagement, but the enemy
showed no dispositio'n to accept.
The troops all fought as gallantly
as ever.
The loss on our side will be about
200 killed and wounded. The follow
ing are among the wounded : Col
onel Morrison, volunteer Aid to Gen
eral Palmer, wounded in the hand;
Captain Rafferty, Excelsior regiment,
wounded in the leg.
• The casualties among the officers
of the first Massachusetts, which suf
fered the most, is as follows : Cap
tain Wild, wounded in the hand; Cap
tain Chamberlain, wounded in the
face; Lieutenant Thomas, wounded
in the arm ; A. M. Putatold and Lieu
tenant M. Dallon, in the breast;
Lieutenant Parkerson, in the leg.—
The number of our killed is small,
most of our men being wounded.
The loss of the enemy is not known,
but it is believed to be equal to our
own.
The rebel camp in front of General
Hooker's division was captured, and
is now occupied by his troops. The
ground fought for was a swamp, with
thick underbush, beyond which was
an open country. The wood inter
vening between our troops and the
enemy prevented the result of the ar
tillery firing being known.
Capt. De Roussil succeeded in get
ting two Napoleon 12 pounders
through the swamp in the afternoon.
They did excellent service. An ef
fort of the enemy to capture them re
sulted in his being driven back with
severe loss.
The result of to-day's fight is high
ly important to the health of the
army, as but little more ground is to
be gained to place the troops beyond
the samp.
Gen. McClellan was present during
the whole day, superintending all the
movements.
EXPEDITION UP WHITE RIVER.

ZEAVIr REBEL LOSS.
MEMPHIS, June 21.—An expedition
composed of the gunboats St.
Louis, Lexington, Connestogo and
Mound City, together with trans
ports, carrying the 42d and 46th In
diana regiments, under Col. Fitch,
was sent hence some days since to
move the obstructions from the
White river, on the 17th. The expe
dition reached St. Charles, 85 miles
above the mouth of the river, where
the rebels had erected a battery.—
An engagement ensued lasting au
hour and a half. While the gunboats
engaged the batteries,the troops,under
Col. Fitch, landed a short distance
below and proceeded to storm the
place. During the cannonading a
ball entered the boiler of the gun
boat Mound City, causing a fearful
explosion and loss of life. The
crew consisted of 175, of whom 123
were killed and wounded. The fol
lowing officers are among the kill
ed : John Kinsey, James Scoville,
John Green, Henry R. Brown, Jos.
Nixon, John Cox and Captain Kelby.
The flag officer is badly scalded, but
it is thought he will recover. Col.
Fitch's charge on the battery was a
perfect success, driving the enemy
out at the point of the bayonet. The
rebel loss is 125 killed and wounded,
and 320 prisoners.

NEW YORK, June 27.—The steamer
Philadelphia has arrived from Beau
fort, and . the Ericson from Key
West, with dates to the 18th, and
from Port Royal to the 23d inst.—
The latter brings 181 passengers, in
cluding Gen. Benham and staff, and
fifty-seven soldiers, wounded in the
late engagement on James Island,
near Charleston.
The account of the fight, copied
from the Charleston papers, is cor
rect. The United States troops, un
der Gen. Benham, made an attack
at four o'clock on the morning of
the 16th inst., and were repulsed af
ter four hours' hard fighting, with
a loss of 688 killed,, wounded and
missing. The Michigan Bth had but
250 men left at roll call, the . New
York 79th also suffered severely.—
The Federal troops were obliged to
retreat under cover of the gunboats.
Col. Perry, of the 48th New York
Volunteers, died at Fort Pulaski on
the 18th of June, of apoplexy.
The Gen. Brannan, from Key
West, was expected daily at Port
Royal. The Ericson landed the 7th
New Hampshire, four companies of
the 19th New York, and four com
panies of the Ist Regular Artillery
at Port Royal.
The Newbern papers, of the 21st
inst., report the rebels at Kenston
and Goldsborough living on half ra
tions, and frequently deserting.—
Their force is small. The rebel pick
ets had burnt Tuscora, and destroy
ed a portion of the railroad. It is
reported that fifteen rebels were
killed at Fisherville, by the accident
al explosion of a shell which had
been thrown by one of our gunboats,
which' did not burst at the time it
was fired.

To Ron. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of

The enemy are making a desper

Hooker's Divisions are where I want
them. I have this moment rein
forced Hooker's right, with a Brigade.
and a couple of guns. I hope in a few
minutes to finish the work intended
for to-day. Our men are behaving
splendidly. The enemy is fighting
well. This is not a battle ; it is
merely an affair of Hointzelman's
corps, supported by Keys', and thus
far all goes well, and we hold every
foot we have gained.
If we succeed in what we have un
dertaken; it will be a very impor
tant advantage gained. The loss is
not large thus far. The fighting, up
to this time, has been done by Hook
er's division, which has behaved, as
usual, most handsomely. On our
right, Gen. Porter has silenced the
enemy's guns in his front.

The affair is over, and we have

loss, notwithstanding the strong op
position. Our men have done all
that could be desired. The affair
was partially decided by two guns
that Capt. Derressey brought gal

WASHINGTON, June 26--The forces
under. Major Generals Fremont,
Banks, and McDowell, have been
consolidated into one army called
the army of Virginia, and Major
General Pope has been especially as
signed, by the President, to the
chief command. The forces under
Gen. Fremont constitute the first
army of the corps, and are to be com
mand by Gen. Fremont; the forces
under Gen. Banks constitute the sec
ond army of the corps, and are to be
commanded by him; the forces un
der Gen. McDowell constitute the
third army of the corpse, and are to
be commanded by him. McCall's
division, 10,000 strong, which form
ed a part of McDowell's corpse has
reached Gen. McClellan by water,
and another division is to follow im
mediately in the same way, while,
General Pope will also operate
against the enemy at Richmond. -Be

to the amount of several thousand
since• the battle of Fair Oaks.
FREMONT WITHOUT A COMMAND.
The Secretary of War issued the
following order on Friday :—Major
General John C. Fremont, having
request to be relieved from the com
mand of the first army corps of the
army of Virginia, because, as he says,
the position assigned him by the ap
pointment of Major General Pope as
Commander-in-Chief of the army of
Virginia, is subordinate and inferior
to those heretofore held by him, and
to remain in the subordinate com
mand now assigned would, as he
says, largely reduce his rank and
consideration in the service, it is or
dered by the President, that Major
General John C. Fremont be reliev
ed from commond; second, that Brig
adier General Rufus King be and he
is hereby assigned to the command
of the first army corps of the army
of Virginia, in place of General Fre

THE ILLINOIS . CONSTITUTIONAL
ELECTION.
The election in the - State of Illi
nois upon the adoption of the new
Constitution took place on the 17th
instant. Though not long since, we
have not yet received correct or de
finite terms from the entire State.—
From such returns as we have, how
ever, it would appear that the new
Constitution has been adopted. It
was principally upon the following
provisions that the contest, which
was a spirited one, was fought :
Nu negro or mulatto shall mi
grate to or settle in this State (of Il
linois) after the adoption of this
Constitution.
No negro or mulatto shall have the
right of suffrage, or hold any office
in this State.
The General Assembly shall pass
all laws necessary to carry into
effect the provisions of this article.
P. S.—The following dispatch con
firms the opinion above expressed by
us:
CHICAGO, June 23.—The majority,
in eighty-eight counties, against the
new constitution is two thousand.
Seventeen counties are to be heard
from, which gave a democratic ma
jority in 1860 of about nine thousand
five hundred. The three negro prop
ositions are adopted. The bank
clause is yet in doubt.

Late Battle at Mechanicsville
ANOTHER FEDERAL VICTORY
Desperate Struggle Against a Supe-
Our Loss in Killed, Wounded, &0., 1,200.
PAR rIAL LIST OF CASUALTIES
NEw YoaK, June 30.—The New
York Tribune has .just issued an ex
tra with dispatches dated on the
battle field, Sunday morning.
The dispatch states that a severe
and most determined battle was
fought on the right wing on Thurs
day and Friday, which is claimed by
some of our officers as a successful
strategic movement, driving the ene
my unwittingly into a trap which
will soon capture Richmond and the
entire rebel army.
The attack was made by the ene
my in immense force, who crossed
the Chickahominy near the railroad
above Mechanicsville, on Thursday
afternoon. The rebels fought des
perately, but were unable to drive us
a single rod, though the enemy were
ten to one.
The only force engaged that day
was Gen. McCall's division, the bat
tle lasting from 2 o'clock till 9 p. m.,
when the division was ordered back.
McClellan was on the field, and
expressed himself satisfied with the
result.
The Herald also publishes a re
port, dated the 27th, which states
that our killed, wounded and miss
ing will number 1,200. The object
of the movement was to bring Gen.
Porter's and other divisions into
close connection with the rest of the
army—in fact, changing the front of
the whole of our forces, with our
centre and left pressing immediately
on Richmond itself; which could be
done, it was expected, on Saturday.
It was a virtual surrender or
vacating of a long line of defences
heretofore kept up to Mechanics
ville, in order to have the whole
force within a more effective dis
tance; also, to allow the rebels to
follow, and, if possible, to bag them
Gen. McClellan ordered Gen. Por
ter to withdraw to two miles this
side of Gaine's Mills, early on Friday
morning, which was done, the enemy
following, and thinking they had
gained the victory.
Our troops slowly moved back in
order, fighting as they went, cross
ing the Chickahominy, and reached
the position designated for their oc
cupation by Gen. McClellan.
The rebels followed in great force,
and by three o'clock in the afternoon
a general and heavy engagement oc
curred here, lasting till 7 o'clock,
when a lull took place, but the rebels
again renewed it with greater feroci
ty,having been reinforced.
Our brave men stood the unequal
contest like heroes, and the shell,
grape and musket did fearful havoc.
Our forces were increased by Gen.
Slocum's, Palmer's, French's and
Meagher's Brigades, and the rebels
were beaten badly. Meagher's Bri
gade went into the battle with their
coats off, and sleeves rolled up fight
ing like tigers.
The ground which General McClel
lan ordered Gen. Porter to occupy
and hold, was occupied and held.—
In the first part of the day, General
Porter's corps alone contended
against the rebels, but subsequently
reinforcements swelled our numbers
to forty-five thousand men. The
rebels had sixty thousands under
Generals Lee, Hilt, Anderson and
Branch.
Among the killed are Col. Black
and Lieutenant Col. Sweit-zer, of the
62d Pennsylvania; Col. Gaue, of the
22d Massachusetts; Col. Roberts, of
the Ist Michigan; Col. McQuade and
Lieut. Col. Skellen, of the 14th New
York ; and Major Patterson, of the
62d Pennsylvania.
The following is a list of the kill
ed as far as ascertained :—Col. Sam.
W. Black, of the 62d Pennsylvania,
formerly of Nebraska, by a ball
through the head, while leading a
charge through the woods; Col.
John W. M'Lane, of the 82d Penna.;
Col. Magilton, 4th Pa.; Capt. Carr,

SENATOR HALE'S BILL.
A Washington dispatch says: The
new bill providing for enlistments in the
army, which was introduced into the Sen
ate by Mr. Hale, has created much sur
prise. It provides that the President
shall have the power, by proclamation, to
call on every person to enlist, without dis
tinction of color, race or condition, and
that every slave so Enlisted shall ever
thereafter be free and entitled to all the
F. R. BRUNOT
rior Force
pensione and bounties of white soldiers.
The volunteers around the city say they
are willing to fight for their country, but
in doing so they are not willing that ne
gro soldiers should be on an equality
with them. The bill has gone to the Mil
itary Committee, and it is extremely
doubtful whether it w ill be reported to the
Senate in its present shape.
rzoia WABUINGTON.
WASHINGTON, June 24, '62
IMPORTANT BILLS PASSED.
Business begins to crowd through
Congress with a rapidity that prom
ises to clear off all important matters
for a speedy adjournment or recess.
Following up the promptness with
which it put the tax bill through yes
terday, the Rouse to-day passed four
almost equally important measures,
namely—the Pacific Railroad bill,
and Bounty Law and Treasury Note
bills. Of these, the first two will be
laws as soon as they receive the Pres
ident's signature, of which there is
no doubt. The Pacific Railroad bill
was put through just as it came from
the Senate the day before, by a vote
of one hundred and four to thirty
one. Some insist that a big swindle
is involved in the provision for four
branch roads from the eastern termi
inns to connect with existing roads
eastward. bat the majority are de
lighted that this Congress should
have succeeded in the Pacific.
THE POLYGAMY BILL
The House agreed to the Senate
amendments on the polygamy bill.—
As passed, it repeals all laws of the
territory of Utah conflicting with its
enactment against polygamy, and
tha provisions of punishment therefor.
The amount of it is, to pave the way
for trouble with the Mormons just
when we can least afford it. There is
a probability of a pressure now to ad
mit Utah as a State.
TILE BOUNTY LAW
The bounty law appropriates five
