He enjoys excellent health, and appears to
lie perfectly at home in camp. He brought
good news from the old "bergh," and was
welcomed by the few Pittsburgbere in the reg

greet the face of a Pittsbnrgher 7 Indianians
have hosts of visitors; Illinoisians, Ohioians
fl
—everybody, but the 'single regiment from
the Keystone State, at
say
ing, "the sight of a Pi t , to use an old
sburgher fresh from
home, is good for sore ayes.' The prospect
of an engagement will linduce the Senator to
remain with the regiment a week or two. In
the meantime ho is a sight-seer. As a volun
teer aid to Colonel Stambaugh, he accompa
nied lien. ticCoOk on a reconnoissance, which
occupied nearly all of the 20th, Brigadier •
Generals. Rousseau and Johnson, and their re
speotive staffs. Ales, General McCook. Sen
ator Irish can tell yon where and how wo
found General Pope, who can play the host
so agreeably. We found Vol. T. A. Scott, As

said, "dawdled on the - road between Nashville
and Savannah." While at General Pope's
quarters that march weal Commented on, and
the generals present mentioned an old story,
viz : the fact that captains of steamboats, at
the latter place were forded to leave their beds
at the risk of being hung, in case they did

purpose.
Gen. Pope accompanied us to the front, and
over hie own line. While there, Gen. - Nelson,
who was officer of the day, met us, and in an
swer to a remark from Senator Irish, replied :
"Never been under fire, eh ? Come along with
me, then, and I'll have Too under fire in less
than ten minutes." That is a fair specimen
of "Bully" Nelson's Axle. Of course, we
followed him out to the *het line, where the
rebels and our .naen w re popping away at
each other incessantly., Prom the picket tine
we rode to Gen. Tom. C4ttenden's, from there
back to Gen.. Pope's quitters, then along Gen.
Buell's line, where we stumbled upon General
Garfield, who was birouitoking,with his men,
and against Gen. Wood, l who now commands
a large division. We found the merin these
commands in eicelleut thudition. In the lot-
' ter they were hard at Work on the fortifica
tions. We returned by Ivey of Gen. Buell's
quarters, and Gen. "Bob." McCook's—found
Willich and his Lieutenant Colonel, Von Tre
bra, with the latter. AG this occupied time—
we hhd tO dismount at /very stopping place;
our hosts must needs play the agreeable ; but
taking it ail in all, it wits a "full day." Sen
ator Irish saw more in one day than many
a Brigadier has seen in,' ten, and this is the
reason why I dwell upon the reconnoissance,
which is common enough in itself, and on the
commands and commanders, who are all an
old story to me.

A FRENONITORY SYMUTOM OF EVACUATION.
All the deserters aver that every' thing is
in readiness to evacuate Corinth. ,'Some how,
everything is quieter there of late; there is
less drumming and filing ; lees whistling of
dos loimmotives ; everything has subsided into
a sort, of Sabbath. I dannot 'think the place
is deserted by the main body ; • still I am of
the opinion that, &Gulag.; we will not light
that "great battle" . horn. And I believe a
single brigade, well hsndled, could present a
frontibat would deceive even our cleverest
Generals, if licaureiard really wished to
evacuate.

quarters. . A Sew minutes afterwards, Mr. Jan.
Snodgrass and Mr. Ilarbaugh approached
us. Mr. Bradford, of Now Brighton, found
the 77th lest night. Next to a glimpse at
the old town itself, and better far than your

The Tribune has received a dispatch to the
effect that it is probable that Jackson, who
has already evacuated Winchester and in full
flight, will be intercepted' to-day by either
Fremont or McDowell, and captured. Jack
son evacuated Winchester on Saturday—a
movement -hastened no doubt-by the near ap
proach of Fremont from the South.
Our army is within four miles of Richmond.
The President said yesterday, says a cor

the affair of, -Saturday and Sunday as the last •
desperate effort of the rebels, into which they
had thrown their whole strength. Their de

The selection of C. L Wolcott, of Ohio,
Assistant Secretary of War, is generally com
mended as one eminently fit to bo made. Mr.
Wolcott acted as, agent 'of Ohio in New York

both moral and mental qualifications. In
politics he is a Republican.

made to-day was one exempting hem the tax
on slaughtered animals, hogs, where not more
than twenty are killed annually.

ft is believed that the excitement and dis

The New York Herald has the following
special account of the fight on Saturday:
" lICADQVAETZIis or Con. CASEY, Seem--
Pines, Va., May 31,1862.—The advance divi
sion of the army -of the Potomac, on the left, 1
under the command of Brigadier-General Silas
Casey were attacked to-day by an overwhelm
ing force of the enemy, and driven back a dis
tance of two miles. Premonitory symptoms
of an attack had shown themselves for two
days preview', and it was generally the opin
ion in camp that the enemy contemplated such
a movement. Yesterday the enemy made a
reconnoisance in force, and learned exactly the
position of our line of pickets, as well as the
location of our camp, and trade their proper
ati nil accordingly. At the time the attack
wa
f i n
' made, Gen. Casey'S outposts were within
abut five miles of Richmond, sear Fairook.
I Lion. The position was gained by the re
cd oisance made by Gen. Nagleo on Satur
day the 24th inst., andonr General had orders
to hold the position at all hazards. The rebel
generals undoubtedly made the attack in or
der to prevent us from completing the fortifi
cations which we were building, and also to
feel our strength and learn our exact position.
The outposts of our pickets were less than a
mile from the general encampment, and very
doss to the ; pickets of the enemy.
About one o'olock the enemy fired throe
shells into our camp, one after the other, at
intervals of about a minute, which was proba
bly asignal to their forces that everything
was in readiness, and which caused no unea
siness in our camp from the frequency of its
occurrence of late. Within a taw minutes,
they came upon our pickets unawares, and at
tacked them with great vigor and a largo force.
Our pickets were either killed, crptured or
driven in very quickly, and the enemy ad
vanced as rapidly as possible upon our camp.
In the meantime, th e regiments of the dif
ferent brigades had fallen into line, in antic
ipation of an order to that effect, which soon
arrived, and at once were off on double-quick
to the scene of conflict. - The must terrible of
the fighting occurred just as the enemy had
got through the woods, and when ourroserves
were drawn up to receive them.
The most desperate courage was displayed
here upon both sides, our regiments charging
repeatedly upon the enemy, driving them back
for a while, when they would again, in turn,
get the upper band and drive us before them.
The loss upon both Sides at this point must
have been fearful, as every inch of ground was
disputed in the most desperate manner, and
was only gained by overwhelming numbers,
and by passing over the bodies of our dead and
wounded soldier,.
Oar batteries at this time were pouring into
the rebel ranks a perfect shower of grape and
canister, mowing them down in winrows, but
still they steadily, stepb y step, advanced, till
our lino, commenced to give way, when they
'charged upon our batteries, and succeeded in
capturing several gulls, which we were unable
to remove, owing to the horses having been
killed.
The enemy were now in possession of our
camp, and had turned our own guns upon our
retreating columns, while the infantry contin
ued to follow them rip as closely as possible.
Our men, although compelled to fall back,
did so .without any symptoms of a panic, but
still quite hastily.
The enemy captured everything belonging
to Casey's Division,excepting what they had
on their backs, leaving them without a tent
or a blanket to cover them. The supply of
commissary stores in camp was very light,
and all the baggage wagons and 'officers bag
gage had been sent -to the rear two days be
tore, so that our loss fall principally upon the
men, who bad loft all their effects in their
toots.
The attack was wadi's° suddenly and un
expectedly that at, tai, time, 6 p. in. while
the fight is still going on, and all is cot:fusion,
it is impossible to give the exact position
which each regiment held in the engagement.
The position of the different brigades before
the engagement was as follows :
tlen. - Naglee's brigade, consisting of the
104th Pennsylvania, Col: W. H. B. Davis ;
11th Maine, Lieut. Col. Plainsteed ; 56th New
York, Col. C. U. Vanwick ; 52d Pennsylva
nia, Col. J. C, Dodge ; 100th New York, Col.
.1. I.l..prown, wermon the right of Williams
' buig ! arthe Richmend stage road, and extend
ed across the rail track some distance.
The second brigade, under command of l ten.
Wessels, consisting of the 05th Pennsylania,
C 01..). B. Rowell; 101st Pennsylvania, Col.
T. H. Wilson ; load Pennsylvania, Col. T.
U. Lehman; Ofith , New York, Col. J. Fair
man, occupied the centre anii guarded the
turnpike, while tho third brigade, Gen. J. W.
Palmer commanding, consisting of the 81st
New York, Lieut. Col. Do Forest ; 85th New
.York, Col. T. S. Bolktutp; 02d Now York,
Limit. Col. Anderson ; 08th New York, Lieut.
041. Durkee, - were on the left of the road, and
joined the pickets of Gen. Couch's division.
It is impossible at this time to give any relia
ble account of the number of killed and
wounded in Casey's division.
These regiments are mostly composed of
comparatively new troops, and have been re-
duce,' very much from ioknass since they
have been on the Peninsula. The- whole di- I
vision could not have numbered more than
six thousand affective men, while the force of
the enemy was from thirty to forty thousand.
The ogicere, all as - far as I could learn, be-
hared in the most , gallant manner, and their
less is large. Gen. Casey was in tho thickest
of the fight, and was reparted wounded, but I
afterwards learned that be escaped unhurt.
Gen. Palmer is reported killed, and it is gen -
orally believed to,be true, as ho was in the
thickest of the fight, and could not be found.
do may have been wounded and taken pris
oner. Gen. Nagleo had his clothes riddled by I
bullets, but ' escaped almost miraculously
without any serions wounds.
General 'Wessell's is reported wounded.
Casey's division fell back to the Seven
Pines, where the division of Glen. Couch was
drawn up behind rifle pits. The battle raged
fearfully here for a time, when Gen. Couch
fell back, with considerable loss, a short dis
thrice, but finally succeeded in making a sue
easeful stand till the arrival of reinforcements
from lion. lleintrelman, whose troppn were
pouring in on the railroad as Lleft the field,
- and I learn succeeiled•jointly in checking the
enemy, and retaking part of the ground lost
daring the day. j
:What the casualties were in Couch's division
it is impossible to learn at the time of writing,
xi it is near ; dark, and those whose statements
coo be relied upon are still on the field. I.
learn that Pock and Devon's brigades wore
actively engaged and suffered considerable -
Joss, but ono learn nothing reliable from the
'balance. . ,
It is impossible to fix accurately upon the
number of our killed, wounded and missing
to-night; but I should judge they will reach
600 or 7UO.
,The enemy's less must have been very
heavy, as they received the concentrated fire
of our batterioa for a., considerable time, be-
sides the deadly volley poured into them by
our infantry. A large number of our killed',
hld wounded must have fallen into their
ads. The object of the enemy, in my ;
0 1 40106, Was to Make aitrong reconnoissanc e !
in order to feel our position. and if successful
to drive us back as far as possible: If such
who the object of ;the movement, it was emi
nently successful, as near as the events of- to
day are concerned; but what will transpire
to-morrow remains to be seen.

The 10th Mass., Vols.—Gen. Conch, and
the 92d New York Vols.—Gen. Casey, are re
ported to be badly cut up, especially Co. B, F
and Hof the former. Battery 11, of the let
New York Artillery, had ono corporal and five
or six priviffes wounded. They succeeded in
saving all of their guns but one, but lost all
of their caisson stocks. Battery A, of the
same regiment—Lieut. Hart—lost six guns,
most of them 12-pound brass pieces. These
guns the enemy turned upon us as soon as
captured. One or two privates of this battery
were wounded, but their names had not been
ascertained. There are a few whose nooks I
learned as they were being removed from the
field, and it will be a day or two before any
thing like a full list can bo obtained.
Many of the wounded wore immediately
taken to the rear and placed upon cars, and
carried to the Wh ite: House, where boats wore
waiting to receive them. The 'arrangements
for taking care of the wounded were as com
plete as could be expected.
In summing up the days fighting, wo come
to the conclusion that, although we wore tem
porarily obliged to fall hack a short distance,
seven field pieces, and all our tents, blankets,
Ac.,with a probable loss in killed, wounded
an missing, of six or seven hundred, we stilL
have many things to congratulate ourselves
about, and to be thankful for. It must be re
membered that General Casey's diiision:went
into the engagement only 6,000 strong; at the
outside, while the force of the enemy, at least,
was four times that number. We, succeeded
in saving all the baggage wagons, officers
baggage, and losing only a email amount of
the commissary stores. The enemy',com
mended the attack Omit I p. m., throwing
their whole force against General Casey's po
sition, with the hope of causing a panic in his
ranks, which they not only failed in doing,
but was held in check a long time, until many
of his men were made to bite the dust, and
till Gen. Couch had time to prepare his forces
to support him. Then, and not till then,
when we hardly had officers enough to" give
the command, did our brava men give way
before an overwhelming force of the enemy,
and fell back to a position occupied by Coach.
As I left the field, regiment after regiment
was pouring in from Reintsleman and !Sum
ner, and though nearly dark, the firing was
still kept up. The battle will doubtless bo re
newed in the morning, and the enemy driven
back.

without meeting the enemy in forpe, Jtheir

livery one feels sanguine of the fall
of the rebel capitol whenever oar troops ad
vance for an engagement. Tho fight of Sat
urday and Sunday seals the fate of that city,
when the great body of the rebel army assail
ed our troops on the left wing, with Ahei view
of crushing it, and they were defeated after
two days hard fighting, and forced to retreat.
.Among our wounded wore Col.. Run ,•02d
New Ydrk, in the leg; Lieut. Col. Parry, 85th
Pennsylvania, in tho leg, and Col. Van iVyek,
Of the 10th legion, slightly, in the leg. ...
