At this time the cavalry officers estimated tbs enemy's force in the di rection of Alleji* st one battalion of infantry, and a squadron of cavalry.; Captain Jenette hod scarcely deployed, when the. enemy7s in fantry appeared ip bis front in .heavy force.— Happened fire at short range, and-witb great C&ct. The.enemy halted in .confusion; w4en they had re-formed hegave them a second vul-1 ley. At this moment !■,heard, that my compa nies. guarding tbe Meadow and Rail Road Bridges had he an-, withdrawn', by order of Col. Simmons, commanding the grand guard, and -the enemy bad immediatley crossed. 1 imme diately sounded the recall, and directing Cap tain Jeuett to move rapidly to the rear, I rode back to the Junction, where 1 found Captain Wistprolready engaged with tbe enemy’s, troops approaching from Meadow Bridge. .. His deter- . mined front, and-steady firs checked thpir ad vance, but they were .gathering heavier ifurces to the front, and won forced him to retire. HU route to Mecbanicaville was already interrup ted, and be full back to the North, contesting every inch of tbe ground. 1 went back to meet Captain JeueU’e command, turned him off to tbs left, and with a small rear guard of cavalry, made a jwide detour to the North, with the desperate bope of cutting our way to camp. Captain Irvin had been advised. % the same messenger who.brought ms news of tbs ene my’a flunk movement, to retire to a safer posi tion, but declined to do eo without When I sent him orders it was already to late, japd he w.es entirely surrounded, I beard some firing in bis direction, but have not, been able to learn whether any of hitmen were killed or ;wounded—none of them returned to Camp,. .With the other companies 1 succeeded, after a long, foligueing march through woods and port of the way under fire,in waking my way .to the ford, in the swqmp- above my own camp. The three companies which , had been, recalled, from picket bad already come safely in. ' Whenl enmein, after haring been reported entirely cut off, your advanced line of battle woe. already formed -at Mechanicsvillej Tbe enemy did- not appear.in yuur-front fur soma time, having evidently been.-led to believe by our broad, front and rapid fire that our fqrce .was much larger, and bad baited near tbe junc tion to make his dispositions for battle.

At nightfall the enemy withdrew. Col.

My then slept in the pits at night without cov ering, having, lost all their baggage at the ad vanced picket station. ■ | At daybreak, on the morning bf tbs 27th, I was, informed that t|ie army would retire at once to the new jins op Gaines’ Hill and direc ted to hold with my regiment and battery the position I then held, Until that movement could be affected. I extended the sharpshooters ap to my right and left, to beep up the appearance of still occupying the whole Hnejiand as soon as it .was fairly light, jopened fire upon the ene my, who had advanced under cover of the night and planted new batteries withih grape shot range. l Their Infantry also came down with apparently andimimshed force, filling the road toward|tbe ford with k solid column. The fire uf the enemy’s batteries was much hotter than the evening before—so much so, that it was im possible lor the gunners to stand 1 up to load their pieces! ’ As lung, however, as their am munition and my own {lasted, we wet’s enabled to :holdtheenemyin check. A little after 6 o’clock, ft, mp ws were ordered’ to best we might, to.tbemainbudy three miles distant. .

I posted Captain Holland with bis com-, pany, about three hundred yards from the ford, directing him to obstruct the road and cover the retreat of our main body, and prderedCap tain Winter to destroy the bridge at the Mill Hospital. These were difficult and; hazardous duties; but'were performed with the coolness of veteranj, and probably saved us from entire destruction. Our losp in this morning’s fight, and retreat, was more than Jialf what remained from the previous day's work. Wp could not bring bff our dead ori wounded, and! every man who.gave out in tbe.dpuhle -quick, was neoessa rily left to be cuptured.

I reformed my command near the hospital, where it re knained daring' the. evening. When the rein forcements bad; come op and the enemy was checked, I rode over the bridge, and under ld struotion of an officer of Gen- McClellan'setoff with the help of the. Ist Rifles and Capt. Win ter halted the stragglers and jreformed nearly 2,000 men of the Pennsylvania Reserves intbe meadow at the end of the bridge, I then went back to report to Gen. McCall: Our lost in killed and wonnded was one offi cer and twenty-five men. On the night of the 28th we marched through White Oak swamp, inarched nearly all the next day, and did pick et doty on tbe Itichmondroad during the night of the 29th. Many of our stragglers add slightly wounded had come in, and we entered the action on the 20th with five officers end 150 men, and five officers and 84 men of the United States sharpshooters. | ' My first position was in the* rear of the bat teries on the right of the Ist brigade. When the brigade made its charge I remained to sup port the batteries, moving toi the left of the Parrot gons. The charge- wals brilliant and successful!, but the enemy giving onr troops no time to reform, barled itself in masses upon the left of our line, where youwere endeavor- - oring to reorganise those regiments which had become broken in the charge, and encouraging them to meet the attack. I bad been ordered to take position still farther op joar left, bat had only reached a point in rear! of Nelson’* house, and behind a- crowded and confused force of onr ownj troops when the attack com- " menced. I soon saw our troops giving way, and baiting, faced «ny men byfi the rear ran): to the then front. ’ We lay down upon the ground whikT all onr troops ji ran over us.— I begged their officers in pasaipjg to reform be hind, us, and when onr front [was unmasked, rose and gave the enemy a volley, and contin ued firing for some minutes; bjit, finding 'that' we were the centre of a murderous fire at very - short range, that my men werej falling fast and I should soonhava none left, Ijgave the order' to retire just in time to escape being surround ed. Here was last one of the most gallant ' officers of the regiment. Capt] Phil. Holland was shot dead while steadying | his own men and attempting tp rally others] The' enemy did'not pursue us &r, bat turned to the left to attack the batteries ■, my regimsnt halted abouit 400 yards to the rear, where I tnadeit the nif cteus!for the fragments of the Penn sylvania Reserves, which came tfaat way. The men rallied nobly; though under heavy fire.— They only wanted a point to gather, and tfat order to fall in. ■ We soon had the colors of six regiments in the line, and a respectable brigade of troops, properly!officered and infighting con dition. Among the officers- who distinguished themselves, particularly in this rally and sub sequent advance, | beg‘leave to mention the name ofMr.Charles.Laoibornej of your own staff, .Captain Chandler Hall, of < General Mq ,Call's staff; Lieut. Col. Warner, Captain Mq- Dannals, Captain J. B. Knox, Captain Par tridge, Lieut- J.J3. Pettis. Lieutenant G. S. Knee, and Lieut. D. M- May, of the Penns. Reserves, Lieut, Cut.

Captain Fisher, Lieutenant Allison and Lieut. Bittefing of the Ist Rifle Regiment, and Captain .Girard and Lieut. Shephard, of the Pnited States sharpshooters, displayed the most admirabls| courage and coolness. At dusk. Imavedtbe whole battalion, which 'i seemed tti put Itself under’ my commandfor- V ward in exoellant line of battle toward the ■ front, when the fight was raging in the dense —‘I woods. Here I should bare been utterly at loan as to where advantageously to place my command,-but. for the superior judgmcntand accurate knowledge of .the progress of the.bat tle possessed by Mr. Lambome, who had post ed .the other divisions oflhe fresh troops as 'they had mate upland.knew from bis own ob servation thp position of every corps upon the field. Upon bis advice I moved by a gonic up the Richmond road, and advancing steadily to the extreme front under sharp fire, halted to reconnoitre, oh finding myself among the wreck of our own batteries where the action com menced. General McCall bad come out of.the woods wounded and alone, and taken his place at the head of-lho column.' After the bait, thh General took me forward,afew paces with him, • and in the darkness suddenly we found oar* selves close upon the levelled maskets of a doi umn of the enemy which filled | the road ak front of us.
