THE. EVACUATION OF CORINTH. 1311"P"i!/ Correspondence
WILL All a
MPOST, MD., June Ist, 1862.
AWL GitZ ItTI: Your "Special" arrived in
Ate town ou Thursday last, and up to this
writing; is the only visitor from Western
Pennsylvan ta—much to the surprise of the
troops from4that region, now here. I have
made save 1 attempts to telegraph particu
lars to you from Hagerstown, ids miles north
1
—the terminus of the Cumberland Valley
Railway;'- lint the Government operator there,
toy friend Charlie Lonsborry, formerly of the
P. Ft. W. C. R. It., cooly advised me to save
my pape r, h as he could transmit nothing for the
press ease the regular Associated Press report,
via the Wes Office. I was somewhat mull
fled on hulloing that even this has been sup
_pressed ley censor Sanford, as contraband.
,This byiwisy of apology for not posting your
readers swirlier.
I arriied in Williamsport simultanously
with a torrent of rain, which had been trav
eling thith er from a different direotion ;it has
rained e ver since, with a few hours' interval.
The streets are innocent of gas lamps or boul
der, and the encampments are located all about,
from one tto five miles. Your correspondent
came toile, too, in the same condition with
most of Gen. Banks' army—free from any in.

ness sue desolation of my plight, as I started
from a J overflowed hotel, without dinner, to
' hunt oat troops out of the "Army of the She
nandosi."
I fi ne found Lieut. Harbors, of Hampton's
battery then encamped in Doubleday's old
eartheork, commanding the Potomac ferry,
et the! point where Col. Rowley crossed last
goring, when Blythe took a celebrated sketch
of thecane from the very position occupied
by the battery. The boys "surrounded" me,
and I was carried to the sibley designated
headirtars. Here I met Lleuts. Fleming
and 1 sh, Sergts. Todd, Paull, Beatty, and

due t ime- lam too late to record the part taken
by the gallant Pittsburgh battery in the sev
eral engagements attending the retreat of lost
week ; that you have heard from other , sources;
but I May odd that our Smoky City has rea
son fa he proud of the gallantry, coolness and
consummate skill which was so strikingly dis
played by Capt. Hampton's command during
the retreat. I have heard more than one boa)
of iullintry acLoolledge that they owed to this 1
battery tneir safety. I may also be allowed'
to state that the "stovepipe battery" story
invented by the reporter of the World is purely
a fletion, so ludicrous as to weaken the credit
,t 4) which the gallant Captain is justly entitled.
1 t was not a time for the comic,; all was ter- I
'ably stern and. real. Copt. U. was separated
fro,?} his guns during the battle near Cedar
Creek. Ills guns were in the front „of the
colutun, and his forge and battery wagons in
the test. Captain litimptos had gone beak to
bring up the tatter, when the enemy's cavalry,
id stroug force, appeared in front and flank ;
the battery cut its way through the enemy,
and brought off au its guns, also relieving and
°asinine the retreat of the front of the col
uesh. the' train, with the battery wagons
belanging to Capt. Hampton, were and on ly thus cut off
(tops the battery and the army, es

the Hancock road, creating the Potomac there,
and arriving - 10 Williamsport on Tuesday, in

fri)jne, who bed also been cut off and separ
ated, and Col. De Forrest, of the Ira Harris
Cavalry. You will have published the de
tails of this escape before this reaches you,
and therefore I omit details.
1 next sought the camp of the 46th Peen
eyilvanta regiment, Colonel Knipe, where I

, ' On Saturday, the 17th inst., therewas a
general adVenee of the entire army ; a posi
tion was taken rifle-pitsdug, intrenehments
thrown up, end eeigo-guns planted. During
Sunday and Monday there were picket firings
and skirmishing with a body of rebel infantry,
concealed bra -pleas tof timber on. our left..
Monday night and - Tuesday were character
ised by simile; demonstrations.
We were now close to Corinth;, so near that
during the night:we could see the signals sent
up by the commanders of the - different corps
of the rebel army 3. hear the falling of trees,
the building or destruction of bridges in the
rebel camp ;' the - rumbling of the trains-as
they arrived and departed from the depot, and
the shrill whistle of • the locomotives, all in
dicating 'that unusual demonstrations wore
being made in the' beleaguered city.
Ou Wednesday, there was a trifling skir
mish-end 'hells were for the Opt time thrown
towards the enemy and spiritedly ' returned.
No great damage was done, however.
Thursday, skirmishing and picket-firing ea.
'must. It was on Thursday night that Col.
Worthington, of the lowa sth, the officer of
the day for GOD. Pope's division, while mak
ing the grind rounds to the several picket
stations,Alittle peat midnight , was abet and
instantly' killed by one of our own men.
. Friday, there was sharp skirmishing on
Gen. Pope's right and Gen. Nelson's left.
Shells were fired with
. great rapidity during
the day, most of which were out of range, and
did no harm. Friday night picket firing was
carried on as usnaL .
On Saturday there wan brisk cannonading.
on thp part of both armies, principally With,
field artillery. The restate were inconsider
able.'
I Sunday this was renewed..
.On' Monday, the 26th, there was a brisk en
gagement between the advance of both armies;
abet and shell from rebel batteries fell like
hail In oar ranks, and for &time ss general en
gagenieni seemed inevitable. This finally
subsided, only to be renewed with more spirit
on Tuesday. .
,Tuesday. afternoon Col. Purcell, of the 10th
lowa, acting Brigadier General, commanding
four from Pope's division, enOmun
tired a brigadeot rebel infantry, and after a
sharp fight / compelled their retreat with con
stderable loss' We - lost eight or ten wounded,
•brit none killed.. -
iOn Wednesday; the-25th, there was heavy
cannonading during the entire day. At ten
o'clock in the morning, a force of Federal in
fantry were thrown 'out to plant a 24-pound
Par . rott, gun upon an eminence commanding ,a
piece of„ timber on our left, which sheltered I
the; rebel regiment, who so continually and
perSistently annoyed us. Tho enemy. discov
ering Our Intentions; advanced a body of
trobps to take the gun. Our forces were im
mediately drawn up in line of batUe to await
their approach. Not. a man stirred from the
ranks until the enemy approached within fifty
yards of our lines when Col. Purcell ordered
the sth hiiianesoatocharge bayonets. Ninety
rebels were killed outright in that wonderful
charge. Hundreds were wounded, and the I
enemy hides ignoble contention. . I
' (Wednesday morning a council of war was
'called; in which all the Generals participated.
°Tie reset; reached, was the determination to 1
tit Pke general, advance on Thursday. An-
o er,' was the conclusion-to send Col. Elliott, 1
o the 2d tows cavalry, with eleyen companies
,3 his own command, and eight companiesiof
the 2cl Michigan cavalry, upon an expedition
td the south of Corinth, which he eo ably ex
ecuted. !
i'At six'o'clock Thareday morning the troops
were formed in line of battle; with three days'
rations •In their haversacks. Col. PurcoU's
brigade made the first attack upon the enemy,
which was done with euelk spirit that he in

dier General John W. Gearyll( mmand.
Previous to the lete retreat, Ca nape. was
at Reotortown,nn the Manassas 'railway,
with his battery complete. On • 7th alt.,
Lieut. Atwell was ordered to tak • section
of two guns, with 28 mon, to Front Royal,
and report to Co). Keeley, of the Ist Mary
land Infantry. On Friday, 23d.u1t., the guns
were posted on lan elevated hillock, immedi
ately north of andeommanding the town with
its sevisml approaches. About 21,4 o'clock,
p. m., of that day, the rebel forces under Gen.
Ewell, estimated at 10,000 strong, including
about 2,000 of Ashby's cavalry and the Balti
more Light Artillery, 8 guns, suddenly made
their appearance from the valley 'of Sump,
having surprised and captured the pickets of
Col. Henley. The`battery of two guns, under,
Lieut. Atwell, Were in position, and immlidi
ately-opened upon the •appreachieg forcei as
they appeared massed in the plaiii,with deadly
accuracy. Thie had the effect of checking
the advance, . when a reginient of rebel
Zonaves were, ideployed to the right under
cover of the woods, feigning an attack oa our
'flank, and else threatening the carte of I the
- Maryland lst.l Two companies of the litter
were deployedln front of the Zoitaves, While
a well directed Ifire of shells drove them. ender

were completely destroyed under ettOer of this
fire, to prevent its captute by thdZevidently
overwheliningi.fOrCO of the rebels, which! was
now advancing from every direction, having
made a wide detour by the mountains to avoid
the guns of the battery.
A culvert which carries the branch road
leading up to the town of Front Royal, well
known to the' rebels, seemed ' to offer a good
opportunity of covert approac he h ; and while
our brave boyi were checking t advance
the Zotrues, on .the right, while our troops
burned their camp and stores, the enemy sud
denly appeared through this culvert on oar
loft, within half a mile of the position dt. our
inns. Two Shells were neatly exploded di
rectly in the opening of this culvert, inquiek
succession, which threw back the advancing
enemy in confusion, with fearful less, amid
the applause Of the infantry, who, up to this
time had,stoort drawn up in the rear of the
artillery, as a eutiport.
I It now becalm , evident, from the position of
the enemy in threatening masses on our front,
and both flanks, that the position north of the
town had Weems untenable ; Lieut. Atirell
was therefore ordered by Col. Keeley to re-'
tire and take a position to the right and rear,
to cover the retreat of the troops aeress the
Shenandoah. The rallroadereases the south
branch near 'its confluence with the north
branch, end runs west along the latter. The
wagon road to Winchester crosses both
branches a ! little above the railway bridge,
On the point between the branches of the She
naudosh, niter the wagon road bridge, the
guns were next unlimbered by Liout. Atwell,
end a terrific cannonade opened OD the enemy
in front. Meantime, the rebels had got their
guns into position, aud commenced to drop
their shells in close proximity town . two guns
—which they were evidently desirous of si
lencing. Our men stood to their guns with
its ottsdintos of veterans, and fired volley after
Volley with tech precision as to elicit shouts of.
admiration from the infantry, who were so ad
mirably protected thereby. Lieut. Atwell.
bare had a CIDTToW 'escape ; a shell from the
rebel batterYstu announced by a gunner, sod
he leaped inddenly aside; Irately missing the
explosion which almost instantly followed.
By this time our force had all safely crossed
the river, and were formed in line on a hill in
the roar, to the left of the Winchester road:
Tho battery was now moved to a position im
mediately. in the rear of the bridges, to cover
our troope-while burning the same. But it
was now perceived that the enemy, kept at
hay in front, had forded the river both above
and below the bridges, and the attempt to
burn was therefore given up as useless. Onr
little force had now been engaged for more
than two hours and a half by a force more
than three times their Number, with four times
0 many gess. Our battery had, on far, done
splendid service, checking, every attembt at
an advance from the front, and compelling
tbo rebel masses to keep at's respectable dis
tance, out of musket range. Bet their over
whelming numbers, and their cavalry, inti
mately acquainted with the ground. enabled
them to make wide flanking movements, com
pelling our little force to retire to avoid being
entirely surrounded. A rapid but orderly
retreat tray now made up the Winchester
read to where the Now town road branches off
to the west, where Banks' troops had been
stationed. Up to this time Col. Keeley had
cenfidently expected reinforcements froinNew
town. Bid forces, all told, amounted to about
000 men,; and two guns. The order of retreat,
at this , point, was Lieut.' Atwell in the ad
vance, two guns, thirty-nine men: two com
ponies of the Pennsylvania 29th, Col. Mur
phy, ried,two companies of the New York sth
cavalry.
While our breve little army had been so

' Dumont C. Dake, a nephew of Dr. J. P.
Deka, was accidentally wounded near Win
chester, on the retreat, in trying to avoida
ricochet shot. The bayonet of his Me leader
penetrated hie thigh, snaking an ugly dish
wound. , Capt. Morgan, himself, bound up his
leg with his handkerchief, but hie wound so
crippled him that he was unable to escape, and
was captured.
That the women of Winchester threw scald
ing water upon our troops, shot at them with
pistols and otherwise abused them, I am as
sured from good and sufficient testimony. At
Martinsburg our famished troops (pat en
countered any symyathy, on their way down
the valley. Here the kind ladies depleted
their larders, of everything eatable and drink
able, to refresh the troops. While all feel
this kindly attention, I do not think it will
be peseiblis for General Batiks to save Win
chester from the just indignation of our men,
when they return thither. Such treachery
deserves retributive justice. The young man
who was shot in the attempt to assasinato
Gem Beaks, was the eon of a man whp had
asked and obtained a guard of our 'soldiers
over a taw ducks which be had, around his
premises.
TIIN UNION CAVALRY
I found Capt. John IL Stewart in camp in
a beautiful spot, west of Williamsport about
a mile. The company have a very enviable
reputation among the men of the army. They
wore in the thickest of the fight at Winches
ter, and performed good service. As an in
stance 4f the quantity of service performed, I
may mention that they were in the saddle
from the Friday preceding the retreat, until
Fridajlast, and during those seven days had
four meals and fed their poor horses four times!
Ind yet, notwithstanding this severe labor, I
low noOlivalry hoises, io the three regiments,
bcinal to Gdlit. Stewart's., and no . men who
looked more like duty. Col. Dick Ashby told
One of our prisoners, whelks', since escaped,
that lie was going to have Capt. Stewart's
home. Mete evidently a connoisseur in horse
flesh ; but I fancy that Capt., Stewart's horse
trill never become the property of Col. Dick,
Ashby while the former lives to, defend him.
The following is the organization of -Capt.
Stewart's company of the let Maryland Cav

Molethe field. It *as carried by them in the
brilliant affair at Bath, where a vastly supe
rior force of Ashby's cavalry was utterly
routed and many captured. During that san
guinary engagement the silk flig was sadly
tattered and rent by the enemy's bullets—but
it, was not dishonored. Sine., that time it is
carefully folded away itid preserved, until,
should the company ever return to the fair
donors, that tattered silk banner will be giv
en to the smoky breezes of the Smoky City, an
honored memento of a gallant victory.

MAJOR GENERAL BANES
is not a "paper general," let me assure you,
but one of the genuine stuff of which groat
moon are made. I hare beard him severely
criticised since his retreat—but not by his
little army. The adverse criticisms which I
heard, ail .came from civilians, who know
nothing about the General or his army. I
took some care to learn how his ariny bore
their terrible retreat, and whether they still
had faith in their General. I enquired of offi
cers and men, of infantry, cavalry and artil
lery, "what o you think of General Banks l'"
I invariably and uniformly met the response„
"Gen. Banks is a brich",or its equivalent. I
visited the General 'at his headquarters, and
was introduced by an officer with when! I was
acquainted, and 1,-too, as I retired, mentally
ejaculated, "Lien. Banks is a brick." I fimnd
him hard at 'work In his tent in the field, jot
outside the town, (when borne of his Generate,
of divisions had established themselves
14 eitisens houses) surrounded by ' his
staff, also under eanvas,—in a plain
undress uniform, with orderlies arriving un
der whip and spar from a six miles ride from
the nearest telegraph office, at tiagerstown,
and signal officers arriving with messages from
the advanced stations across the Potornae—in
rid Sod iu business. Be in v Bed me to be seated,
(on a camp stool,) quietly entered into a brief
conversation, and in reply to my question re-'
girding the cause of a heavy cannonading

notteriaa on Maryland Heights were shelling

LETTER FROM COL. URFA REGIMENT
Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Has InUI il
STKES 62D R
es from EGIUT, CA. 1 OLS, 1
n Cap eight m DD
Mchi.ona, 1.
May 27, 1062. j
My last letter to the Gazette left me atFort
roes Monroe. As the headquarters of the
army. of the Potomac were'.at the White
House, on the Paminkay river, I ,took pas=
sage for the latter place on a government
steamer, and had a most delightful trip up the
York and Pamunkey rivers. : The Scenery is
varied, and at numerous points strikingly
beautlful—large, and in many inetances,,well
improved plantations, interspersed with mag
nificent groins of woodland,high precipitous
bluffs, with long stretches lot wild bottom
land, are the principal characteristics of the
scenery. We stopped a tow hours it York
town, and examined the boasted impregnable
fortifications erected by and recently held by
the rebels. They are certainly very formida- 1
ble, and much more extensive than I antioi-
but the genius and high engineering
skill of Gen. McClellan forced the rebel army,
probably not less than 100,900 men, to evacu
ate without strik' ing ts blow.
I will state here, for the • bane at of hie
numerous friends in - Pittsburgli and elsewhere;
that Col. Samuel NV. Black and a portion of
his 62d Pennsylvania regiment, were the first
to enter the rebel works, and Col. Black, not
having his regimental flag convenient, raised
a small pocket flag on the ramparts, which
justly entitles him to the honor of planting
the first flag. lie also established the first
guard,in the fortifications at Yorktown. Col.
(love's 22d hlassathusetta regiment afterwards
releived the 62d Pennsylvania, and raised the
first large,fiag. I allude to this matter par
ticularly, as the friends of. Col. Gore claim for
him, and have published it in the newspapers,
that he was the first to raise our glorious na
tional standard on the deserted relief works.
You can rely on the above as a correct history
of the facts; and simple justice to our bravo
Pennsylvania soldiers, and to Col. Black, who ,
is as modest and generous as he is brave and
daring, impels me to .give a brief detail of
what actually occurred.,. .
Yorktown is but a small village ot . , some ten
or twelve antiquated and dilapidated build
ings ; the historical associations connected
with the pl are doubtless familiar to m s ost •
of the reade a r ce s
of the timette, the struggle of
our immortal ancestors for liberty and inde
pendence were here triumphantly .ended by
the defeat and surrender of the British army,
under Lord Cornwallis, to our godlike Wash
ington and his noble band of patriots. This
brilliant aeheivementgave to Yorktown one
of the brightest pages itt history, and will
perpetuate its dame to the remotest period of
time. The 0 1i:church in the village had evi
dently been used by the rebels ass store house,
and the vandals had in ;carioca ways defame
tedthe sanctuary of the most High. Among,
the grave stones in the adjoining yardl no ticed'
on one the date of 1745 1 and there were doubt
less others much older but time and the ele
ments had so defaced them as to render it im
possible to deciphorthe inscriptions. I could ,
relate other interesting facts connected with
the history of Yorktown, but it would occupy
too much space in thin letter, and I hasten on
to the White House, where I found the main
position of the grand !oral or the Potomac
encamped, on the largo and beautiful planta
tion formerly the property of the wife of
Washington, and where they spent their first
married life. It was owned and recently occu
pied by soon of tleueral Leo's, of the rebel
army and former propietor of Arlington, the
homeCuitis, and whose wife was
a grandaughter of Mrs. Washington. The
house was sacredly guarded by our soldiers to
prevent say injury to the property.
Through the politeness.of Captein,Shafter,
of the 7th Michigan 'll'o,7,h:tient, in command of
the guard, I was . permitted to examine the
premises. I judged from 'the quantity el el
egant furniture late in the house; that the
degenerated• and dishonored relatives of the,
great - Washington had made a hasty retreat'
on the approach of burlarmy. I observed/a
unto, evidently vrrithen!, by a lady, tacked/up_
in the hall. It read as follows : ,
"Northers Soldier j o, who profess to reverence
Washington, forbear bi• desecrate the home of
his first married life, the prdperty pfhis wife,
now owned by her descendants." feigned, "A
Grand -daughter oflMrs. Washington."
Soma of the furniture, portraits; dishes, &c.,
were apparently very , old, and probably valu
able family relics. I . , / .
Most cl the slaves7abiat 1.00 in number,
wore loft on the place. Among them, I dia
covered a very oldl and venerable looking wo
man, who had a distinct recollection of Wash
ington and his wife—saw them married, and
related to me several ineidents connected
with their early mairied life. She did not
know her age,! / hat thought that' she
was eight or , / nine years old when
Washington was married. I have confidence
in her statementi l as her memory seemed clear, 1
and the Impress bf .truth stamped upon her
countenance,/ lir conversation . as also in-.' l
tersperaed with errant - and intelligent roll- 1
eons outliner , '. This particle of Virginia',
ts,
is intimetely ,as ociatOd with the history, of 1
the "Father of his Conntry." Unsurpassed
in natural resources;it might have bean the 1
garden spot of :the Union ; but the baneful
effects of slavery, and the the!sad havoc of the I
present traitors 'l rebellion, have converted it
unto abarten and desolate waste... The demon,
,Of destruction has had f4ll ; sway ; but his
minions are rapidly . disappearing before the,
march of our irrosistible Union army, aid loon

it one of the most remarkable 'and brilliant
achievements of the war. We learned from
the prisoners that the rebel force was Sims '
South Carolina Brigade, 'and they , manifested
the deepest chagrin at being defeated by only
500 men. I saw the wounded after they were;".
brought in,. and it was truly a sad sight.'
Although suffering intensely, the poor fellows -
were cheerful, and seemed proud of- their
wounds. The two that fell in battle were
buried yesterday. It wati a lovely Sabbath
day, and the "remain! of the fallen patriots
