We give- below an interesting account of the battles on Saturday, Sunday And Monday, compiled from the Herald of July 4th. A fearful crisis in the history of America is past. At last the Army of the Potomac 1b safely sheltered upon the banks of the .Tames river, and we are permitted to present some account of its bold,' master ly and unprecedented movements. Six battles have been fought, and three hun dred thousand men engaged. Twenty to thirty thousand of these are dead or bleed in gattestations of the valor,or desperation that animated them. A retreat, or rather a strategic movement, has transferred the scene of operations from the Chickahom iny to a distant point, and all speculations based upon previous positions of the grand army are as vain as the conclusions based upon its present are bewildering. We know that the army is sale. It has won great victories, though outnumbered by an enemy.twice its superior, and holds its columns intact, the spirit of its men stili invincible and the faith of its officers unconquerable. If ever the nation should thank God it should be at this time. The particulars ot the battle of Friday are in part known. Whatever may have been designed or whatever may have been necessitated in the vacation of the north batik of the Chickahominy, it was at least certain that said non-occupation would compel the evacuation of VVhito House and-.the York River Railroad, and there fore oblige a falling back to the James river, as a-new source of supplies and a new base of operations. The Retreat to the lames River. Somehow the tumor got wind at once that the army was to move, and during Friday night the team* went in long aud winding, array towards Savage’s Station, -whence they took their way over the hilts to the Williamsburg read, and thence to White Oak Swamp. Next morning the procession continued, and the large siege pieces that had reached White House the preeiohs week went passing , along, with ambulances, batteries and pontoou trains “raUuirderly, as.it moviug rn furtherance of tha cherished plan towards the city of Richmond, l'here was' a degree of celer ity in their advance that only those ac .quaintedwith the state of things could saauzk, and. the quartermasters had faces «thitle anxious, though they said nothing. That it takes much patience to await the tardy. : iaareh of an army all know, even womi tlie troops are free togoin advance, and the teams follow leisurely; but when thar.teams take the right of way, blocking foot of road, sticking in the bogs and.upset ling downthe hills, the march is indeed devious aud distressing. Such was tie case with our route, on the several marches of Maturday, Sunday and Monday; -when: the tedium was more than usually apparent because of our anxiety to go for ward.

JPh» fight of Peach Orchard—for so it .will be called—was a decisive victory to the Uiii'on troops. It was fought with a small' force, against immense odds, and in the rear of the main army that was every mo, ment receding. To conduct an action so manfully in view of these gloomy facts ar gues bravery akin to invulnerability. The large figure of General Sumner, with his long white beard, handsomely mounted and followed by a dashing staff, is a feature of this fightihat will be foreverimprinted up on the minds of his soldiers. When they saw him gallopping down the lines they cried: “Here comes the Old Bull, boys; give hint three cheers I” and fought with renewed enthusiasm. The conduct of 3tn.. Dana is universally approved. Coal, steady and valorous, he exhibited in this action the great self-possession that marks him in daily life. Colonel Sully, a sonol the distinguished artist, was acting as general of Gorman’s brigade daring a part of the battle. He also won encomiums for his generalship. The Bet He of Savage's. The battle of Savage’s was more san guinary. It commenced about five o’clock in the afternoon and lasted till eleven o’clock at night. The rebels, when wo had fallen back from Peach Orchard,filed, with large reinforcements and additional batteries, as well as with several squad rons of cavalry, towards soveral roads leading to the (Jhickahominy, and covered by the thick timfibr, were enabled to re main concealed until they had reached a wheat field that stretches from Sava ge’s to • a dense belt of . woods in the direction of the farms of I>r.'Trent, and Messrs. Mickey, Dudley and Conch. Suddenly appearing out. of the edges of I the timber, they opened with rilled can non upon our -forcesi' drawn up in full view to the south of the railroad. Direct ly they ran out three batteries to command ing points in the wheat field and opened a rapid enfilading fire of shell and grape. This was at first so staggering that our men could not form nor onr artillerymen bring their batteries into service. The lOGth Pennsylvania regiment was seized with momentary panic, but soon recovered and did good service. The first named lost in the beginning of the fight a hundred killed and wounded men. and a regiment of rebel cavalry galloped in and drove the regi ment off, so that the wounded bad to be re signed. In the meantime a rebel brigade was observed stealing down to the right,ai it with the design of thinking our troops by reaching a position qh the. Wiliiatnsbiirg road.

During .the several parts of the action we took not less than five hundred but were compelled to let them go for the same reason that operated in the case of our Wounded. 1 Failing Back from Savage's. ■ The weary: but still resolute soldiers, re-' ceiyecL orders at midnight: to fall. back i raindly from: Savage's across White Oak j Swamp. The enemy was making l'urtive attempts to overreach them in this respect, and. it.was likely to become a tight race between Jth*.repels.and /Unionists as to I which should first cross the. creek and gain i the.lugh./grounds pn ihe other side, ' If they should he more speedy, and succeed in.nlacingthe swamp .between ourselves apathem,. our retreat would be almost in evitably cut .off, and almost the whole army butchered or surrendered. Although every soldier and officer felt this dreadful alter native so close, no one acted otherwise than, as a Northerner and a man.. There was no murmuring, no flinching, no nndue [ hastening,, only.ibe subdued talk of sol- I dierscomparing opinions j the steady tramp of battalions, and now and then the grit ting of teeth, or the hard drawing of u breath to indicate .the bitterness in the hearts io£;glj. .

The enemy followed us hard toward White Oak Swamp, the faithful fellow* of Heiutzleman, Sumner and Franklin pro tecting our laggard baggage and artillery. These, indeed, were compelled to keep in line of battle across the country along the whole extent ot the retreat, for the enemr was forever endeavoring to turn us upon the right and left. Notwithstanding this, our march exl ibited no symptoms of haste or fear; the trains went on duly but uot riotously, and when finally the last wagon and cannon went plashing thro’ the creek, our teams whitened all the hills on the southern side and the weary soldiers, having torn up the bridge, laid theioselues down to rest. It was now eight o'clockon Monday, a day arid, dusty and closer than i the panting but indomitable Northerners | could well eadure.- Many of them were j hungry; the water in the swamp was such I that the stomach turned at it with loath ing, and the wounded hobbled here and [ there with dry eyes that seemed to plead lor drink. White Oak creek runs through a belt of swamp timber, precisely as the Chiekahominy flows through its encom pasing morass. The creek is not more than four or six feet deep, and hail been made passable by the engineers' brigade, who built a good corduroy bridge across it . A strip of bottom land lies on both sides of the swamp, and on the /forth side a steep hill, crowned with a farm house, formerly the headquarters of lien. Casey, had been encircled by our own troops wirli a line of ritle pits. An abatis also stretch ed across the bottom land. Beyond the stream the country was rising, and two farm bouses la; opposite each other at a little distance, where some ot our officers stopped to rest and refresh. Beyond the most eastern house tan a small creek, supported by a thick wood. This was the right of our new lino of bat tle, where General Hancock was posted with his brigade, consisting of the Fifth Wisconsin, Sixth Maine, Forty ! bird New I York, and . I-orty-ninth Peutisvlvanin. Generals Brooks and Davidson hiy close |in to Hancock, and the batteries of the division were commanded bv Captain Ayers, formerly of Sherman's batterv. Generals Sumner, Hc-intzleman, Porter and in fact the whole of the army, except ing the corps of Iveyes and an immense number of stragglers that bad pushed on toward the Junes and could not be rallied in time to be of service, extending the line of battle upwards of four miles to (he left, bordering the whole distance upon the swamp, with batteries ranged upon every, commanding hill and a strong picket situated', at Charles City Cross Koads, wheref it was shrewdly expected, the ene my would attempt to come out in force from Richmond. , HjtncoCk's position was a strong one.

About five o'clock ra the afternoon the gunboats Galena, Aroostook" and Jacob Bell opened from Turkey Island Bend, in the James river, with shot 4pd shell from their immense rifled' guffs. , The previous roar of field criillary .seemed as faint as; the rattle of musketry in comparison with these monsters of ordnance, thatliterally shook the.water and strained the air. The shells, seemed to be supplied with eight second fuses, and a considerable interval elapsed between the shock.of, the report and the snbsequent.explosion of the shells. They fired about three' times a minute, frequently a broadside at a .time, and the immense hull of the Galena careened ias she delivered her complement of iron and flame. The first few shots went wide, but, the man in> the Gnlena's topmast lookout signalled tho proper ele vation to the guns, ami soon they threw among the serried rebels on the hi!! their ponderous obligations, that cut down whole rauks, spreadiug.coufnsion, desola tion and dismay, i’he fire went on with the same fatal effect*. making music to the ears of our tired men, aud. consternation among the exultant atul bloodthirsty trai tors. They—already confident of conclu ding their work and driving us into the James—began to reel and grow uneasy.— Their fire perceptibly slackened; their ranks seemed slow to close up when the naval thunder. had torn them apart: disaf fection and disappointment bad already seized upon them, aud every deep tocsin from ti.o Galena added its impetus to the prevailing dreml. when Itelnlaleinnn (tiaracd. The whole corps of this famous wurrior, confident that a recovery of the fortune of the time could fie made, prepared to give another great eiiort to retrieve the fortunes ot the day and the cause of th-- eouutrv.

The soldiers, poor, heroic, jaded fellows, responded with a spirit that must have come from hungry, hearts and aooii the grand corps of Heinlzelmau was in lino, with the gaunt, gray figure of its comman der galloping down its columns. The en emy anticipated'some such dash, for they directed their lire upon this part of the hue—if possible— more concentruledly than ever. Then Hciuuelman passed down th« order, and like the surging of a sea long embosomed in a plaiu the column moved, slowly, certainly, vigorously belching fire and'bail at every step; but never halting until they came close to the rebels that ihov might have hallooed the names of each, man to man, across the little interval. The latter came up bravely to the offer ed combat: but there wasadestructiveuess in our fire and a vehemence in our tread that they could not withstand. The fiery brigade of Meagher edged up gallantly oil tne right, using the musket right, soldierly, and General Sickles' Excelsior Brigade, already fearfully cut up, went into the action like a battalion of fresh veterans. The brigade of Ilooker was ably led le thal distinguished officer, und'General Kearney seemed übiquitous, as he scream ed his orders here and there, always urg ing his men on to the foe. The brigade of General Grover, including some Massa chusetts regiments behaved finely here, but the whole corps was a unit, and Heintzleman was a genius. Pushing steadily ahead, defying all ef forts, of the enemy to break or turn its line, the corps had at last the satisfaction of seeing the enemy break and fly in con fusion to the awamp. totally dispirited and repulsed. \Ve took in this engagement over two thousand prisoners, hut as four object han been gained in covering our ad vance to the James river, it was not deem ed of sufficient importance in view of fßeir risk to.be encountered in holding posses' sion of themthrough the night. A large number of these prisoners, however, re main on onr bands, and will serve in some sort to console us for the loss of very many of our own. The lieaa at White Oak Swamp. The battle of White. Oak Swamp was scarcely second to that of. Gaines Hill in point of losses of life, wonnded and pris oners. We undoubtedly suffered less than the enemy, who was literally butchered, but our own loss is, nevertheless,; .enor mous. We lost all Mott’s battery but a singlegun, the whole of.Handalj's battery, one-gnu, we believe,.of Cant, Ayers, and several others in. various parts ©t the field. We could not have, lost in killed, , wounded and prisoners less. than two thousand Jive hundred m eit, and our loss may reach tw.ee that number.

The general dejection that followed the r'etireinentbFbur troops across the Chick ahominy.was particularly relieved by the good nears of two considerable successes by the diyisioti of General Smithy who held a position on the extreme right, con sisting ol' a line of breastworks and two redoubts; The left Of these redoubts was strongly constructed, and had; much an noyed the enemy, who had reason to be lieve that if heavy artillery were placed on '! .®>ght he compelled to evacuate Jhu high grounds at both' Now Bridge and Old Tavern.

SfMiud Fight orGolding’n Farm The- next morning the infuriated Geor gians, who had meantime heard of their •uc. of Friday across the Cbickahomi uy. determined to attack our lineH before General Smith's division a second time, and mako another effort to occupy the re doubt near Golding’s house. Their dead “‘ill lay in the bottom or meadow where they had fallen the night before, and our troops hud stolen around in the night to a strip of wood near a picket station, where they dug and masked a rifle pit. At eight o'clock the Georgians formed in line of battle, headed by Colonel Lamar, ot the Seventh Georgia (known in connec tion with the celebrated slave case of the yacht Wanderer), the first legiineut, by repute, to enter the rebel service. They did not seem dispirited by their ill success of the day before, but marched boldiy up to the sume inevitable fate—terrible vol leys that cut them to pieces, literally butch ering them—and their enemy, though so obvious to feeling, was nowhere plain to the. sight. Lying in the tangled grass, buried in tho .timber, prone under the sill of turf or drawing a bead through a fence, the keen eyed Wisconsin, Maine or Penn sylvanian was ■ holding the terrible rifle, every thrill of which'sent the leaden mes senger through flesh and bone. In the beginning of the fight Lamar was mortally wounded, and in attempting to rescue him his -Lieutennant- Colonel was taken prisoner. Onr rifle pit - galled their retreat,’a movement they were compelled to make, but all its heroic denizens were bayonetted. Lamar was a beautiful man, sitigularlylike a woman, but he had all the tierce elements of the fire-eater, and died suppressing every moan or cry.
