rtlsEl. z .On our first page will be found the es'
cellent address of Professor Wit.soN, to the
graduating class of Dickinson College. It is
remarkable for the timely and whole:tome ad
vice it contains ; its terse and lucid senten
ces; its happy illustrations; and the bold
and manly manner in which it meets the im
portant issues now' before the country. We
bespeak for it a careful perusal.
ktEr As all evidence of our disposition to
commend what is good and lo} al in our po
litical opponents, we ha‘ e transferred to our
coldirms n recent speech of Representative
BAILY of this Congressional District, on the
bill before Congress for the issue of addl.
tional Treasury notes. While we do not at
all question that his views are in perfect
harmony with those of a large majority of
his party associates, we are altogether so
well assured, that his loyal declaration, as
to the duty of sustaining the administration
in its efforts to subdue the existing rebellion,
and punish its wicked authors, will give
serious offence to many of his former friends
and supPorterf—we mean those who are
only loyal to the country when their party
leaders rule it, and their ful oWers enjoy the
spoils of office. Men whose opinions are
formed and votes bestowed according to the
behest of county conventions nither than
according to the dictates of reason and
conscience. From such men, we think Mr.
BAILY will, at best, derive a constrained
support—and that in our opinion is doubt
The young gentleman who figures
in this week's Volunteer, in an e torial, re
viewing and criticizing the proceedings of
the People's Con'Ventictn, of Monday last,
evidences by his article, his peculiar fitness
for a contributor to that high-toned sheet.—
The article : though short, contains no less
than eight mistakes, as to points of , fact,
and as many more by inference. Our ad
vice to him is that he have nothing to do
with that concern, for, be he never so honest,
the .mental obliquity that misbrands that
office, will be sure to lead him into devious
paths of error and misrepresentation. ~_
fl We have received a letter from our
young - friend - JOHN - Munn', who belongs to
company I of the Ist Reg'L Penna. Reserves.
They were then in camp six miles from Rich
mond, and , the writer gives a good account of
the condition of his regiment as to health and
spirits. As the date of the letter—June 21st
—was previous to the recent engagement in
which the Reserves participated, of course it
contains nothing relative thereto.
11t The Richmond Examiner, in an article
professing to describe the proceedings in the
National Muse of Represeuatives, makes the
following reference to Vallandigham, the
leader of the Northern secessionists, and the

wonderful what respect a braveilman can wring

As Mr. Vallandigbain's " Mr. Speaker 1"

the galleries, and the members turn to their

faces, to listen to his remarks, looking around
on his enemies, who, if they dared, would
knife or pistol him at his seat. His words be

nunciation of the illegal measures of the Ad
ministration. The speaker grows uneasy;
the members, grin and wriggle in their seats,
and the galleries burst out-into a-pandemoui•

raps his gavel, but the storm continues ; the

DEW' Hon. Owen Lovejoy, Member of
•Congress from Illinois, recently delivered a
lecture on the state of the country, in Coop.
er Institute, in New York. His speech was
tfull of striking points, and animated with
a spirit of patriotism and liberty. He
showed that the rebellion was a n'out-growth
, erslavery, and" that no permanent peace
would come without the destruction of the
.oppressive syStem, peaking of the cautious
policy Of PresidentLineoln; he said :
The President. is like a man driving a
:horse in the thills of a buggy, and leading
another behind by a halter-strap: The one
in the shaft is a most superb animal—broad
between the eyes, tiara small, short around
the throat, stifle full and hard; . short coupled,
and eau clear ditch and hedge, high•spirited
and fast, and in,„all points just such-a steed
as the pencil of Rosa Bonlieur would delight
to trace, and such as Bonner or Vanderbilt
never drew line upon. [Laughter.] The
creature behind is a very different kind of
animal - ; he can do nothing but hold back ;
&jerks' and Sags hack on the halter; he has
a large head, - striking auricular development;
his ribs are as dieunchis heaps Oa a barrel ;
his lily bones -are enormously high, and he

SPEECH OF HON. JOS. BAILEY
On the 17th of June, the House being in
Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union, the Member of Congress froth York,
Cumberland and Perry, Mr. Dailey, delivered
the following speech :
Mr. CIIATIDIAN : — I happen to be one of
those old en ough - to - have - vot ed - for - thwt - grear
and good man Andrew Jackson. About the
period of his Second election that old hero
grappled the heresy of nullification b,v the
throat. When he sent Commodore Elliott
down to Charleston and laid a few of our old
fashioned frigates broad side to that arrogant
city, and filled the forts in the harbor full of
soldiers, there was no grumbling then ; every
thing the old man did to crush that little re
bellion was approved by the Democratic par.
ty of that day. I remember well, When the
report came North, (news did not travel as
fast at that time as it does now,) that he ex
pressed a.determination . to hang Ctilhoun as
high as Hansen, but one voice was heard, and
that was to applaud his declaration. A com
prmise with treason was unwisely but hon
estly made at that time ; the old hero was
prevented from crushing that foolish outbreak
by force, as he would have done; and the Na
Lion is now reaping,tlie bitter fruits of that
blunder. If Jackson had been let alone in
his groat purpose maintaining the supremacy
of the Constitution and lows by the strong
arm of power, and punished a few of the bed
men engaged in that movement, it is hardly
likely we should now be called upon to make
such tremendous efforts to quell rebellion.
The bold, had men in the South, who have
lately boasted that they have.been engaged for
.thirty years in preparing the public mind in
that region for the present outbreak, would
hardly !lave commenced their task of treason
at so early a day, if J - ackaiiii had been let
'alone. •These men were permitted to go
unpunished, and they have at last involved
their country in the most cruel and causeless'
Midi war on record. •.They have committed a
, great.orinte. , :' They are now in armed rebell
ion against a Government that never dig:libel:4
wrong ; They, - have enjoyed more than their
share of its patronagel have had ~a majority
I of the 'Presidents and Vice . Presidents, of
Cabinet officers, and foreign ministers, and
yet, in the- face'of all .these benefits, be
cause as they hypocritically allege, the Gay
eminent would4tot do what they,knew it had
no' constitutional power to do, to suppress"ab
olition societies and presses,'they have risco
up in armed rebellion' to destroy it. This-as
Att. Subterfuge. The. abolition of slavery had_
but little influence upon the bbld tuld'iinseru-
Onions leaders: of this rebellion. They made
potent use of that 'element of diserud to • be.
*title :the lie - nest mases of the South Into tree
.b4tholeadershaew. better. _ They knew
well that Mef.:Lineoln would 'be in a minority
in - hoth.brauchett'of the present Congress'and
, would be powerless,to,de them harm if ho'de.
o f. po war OW ! moved
these leadettOCrebeDion c AO not to the
question-041)44M tiatural aria=, tearatt, and: pOroolvied 'with intoglettfeir ari
Kato the surprising growth of the Nortlf and
West in:all the elements of greatness—num
hors, wealth and intelligence—and feared
these eleinents would isome day be used to cur
tail:their influence over the Government and
and its patronage. That was the prominent;
leading motive for their treason, and 'not the
abolition of slavery. If the latter motive had
actuated there; why did their self constituted .
government offer to England and. Francs the
abolition of slavery in 'thirty years, as the
price for their acknowledgment and an alli•
ance to aid in destroying our Government?
It will not do to close our eyes to the enor
mity of - this crime or the condition of things
that fearfully surround us. This is a war'of
elemental principles—of aristocracy against
democracy ; and its effects, for good .or evil,
will be felt to the utmost hounds of civiliza:.
lien. If the former succeeds the cause of con
stitutional liberty' will be put back a thousand
years. If the latter triumphs, as it most cer
tainly will. the bold men who are raising
their voiecagainst tyranny over the whole
earth, will be inspirdd with a new vigor in
Tb - dir. - ifforts to establish equal rights and con •
stitutional freedom for all civilized men. In
this great emergency, what is the duty of the
Government and the people who are loyal to
it? Are we merely to look on like servile
wretches and permit these traitors to destroy
our Government. without an effort to save it?
Are we reduced to so mean a condition that,
after the short period of seventy-three years
of national existence, four fifths of the Amer-
Mali people became so venal and cowardly es'
to permit the other fifth to overthrow their
Government ? No. sir. We have plenty of good
and brave men yet who are willing to peril
their all in defence of their country. We may
have men among us to try to alarm the fears
of the people about debt and taxation.
But these things are of no avail. The great
majority of the people have resolved, in their
heart of hearts, that there is but one way
about it. This rebellion is to be put down,
cost what ii. may. The people know that if it
'is permitted to succeed, ruin and desolation
will follow. The protection the laws afford
to life and propei ty will ho swept away with
the destruction of the Government. Thelibo
pie know this well, and hence the patriotic
uprising of six hundred and fifty thousand
armed men to crush out this foul blot on the
fair fame of our country. Debt and taxation
were not a considerat ion with the people when
they sent these brave men forth to battle for
their country. They knew well that debt and
taxation would be the result of the herculean
efforts they were making to save this Govi.rn•
meld., and all true men will bear these bur
dens cheerfully.
There is no use now in talking about the
causes that may have produced this rebellion
—about abolition and the conduct of enthust•
fsts. ..We have the - terrible'and - tangible - fact
stating us in the face, that a portion of the
People of 'the United Stites hnie arrayed
themselves in armed rebellion against. their
country, Some of the States, in violation of
the Constitution, have entered into alliances
with each other, to destroy the Government;
have raised armies and navies.; seiked_the
property of the Government, and commenced
this unholy purpose while still enjoying its
patronage. After committingthese monstrous
and treasonable outrages, the self-constituted
gov . ernment into which these traitorous States
had entered, audaciously declares that all it
wants is to he let alone. Very likely. The
perpetrator of crime always desires hat.—
The wishes of these bad men cannot be mrati-
- - - • • • - •
fled The Government of the. United Slates
is obliged to see that the laws be faithfully ex
ecuted, and cannot consent that rebels against
its authority anywhera shall be let alone.—
They are to- be punished; and to do this
armed men are required.
The men who arm and go -forth to fight for
their country must be maintained and paid
for their time, and to do this Congeess must
provide the Exechtive with the means. Hence
the necessity of-this bill; I shall vote for it
with pleasure, because it provides the neces•
sary means and is the least. burdensome to
the people, because it is in the nature of a
loan without interest. Talk about cost when
the existence of such a Government as this is
at stake The It ustee of the rights of man
throughout the world, we will, as we ought,
incur the curse of mankind if we stop short,
for fear of expense, in our efforts to maintain
ifs supremacy. What signify a thousand mil
lions or five thousand millions. compared with
the existence of a nation that has produced
such startling results in the history of the
world in the short space of three quarters of
a century ? Why, sir, it has conquered a
wilderness overspreading a continent, and
peopled it.. It has produced the raw material .
with which the people of the eat [h haVit
clothed themselves. In a very short time it
will produce food sufficient to sustain the
wants of all mankind. Its manufactures are
carried in its own ships to every port on the
earth. It has tamed the lightning and made
it the means of transmitting thought. It has
made the terrific power of heated vapor sub
missive to its will, and compelled it to per.
fortis, labor equal to the efforts of millions of
men. Its educational institutions excel in
number and usefulness those of all other na
tions and its gallant soldiers and sailott have
never met a foe able to conquer them.
These area few of the great. results, pro
duced by a great people under the benign in
fluence of this greatest,and beat form of gov.
eminent, in a period much short of a centu
ry. Will a people who have accomplished
these great purp 'sea in so short a time, be
alarmed at a debt of $1,000,000,000 in
curred in the preservation of their Govern
went'? I think not, when they ascertain the
share each one will be liable to pay. in
eight years more we shall have a vpulation
01 lolly milli° a and over. Divide $l,OOO
- by this number and wo have the
trifling sum of twenty five dollars, for which
each one of the people will be liable, the
interest on which, per year, is $1,50 Doak.
le this amount of indebtedness, and you
have the sum of fifty dollars as the liability
of each one, subject to an interest of three
dollars —not very alarming figures to a great
and free people. The ordinary revenue has
most gem-rally been sufficient to defray the
ordinary expenditures of the Government
heretofore, and we may confidently eiaiect
that to be the case hereafter, at least as soon
as we have peace, and trade and business
have _resumed their usual channels.
The people have a right, and certainly
will exercise it, to hold the agents of the
Government to a faithful performance of
duty. The man who will, in this great emer
gency, impose upon his Government by a
fradulent cdmpliance with the terms of his.
contract, or the public- officer who abusjs
his trust, is more hateful than tt rebel, and
ought to be more severely dealt with. The
drumhead court martial is the only remedy
fur that class of men. A little exercise of
that kind of remedy would have a most
salutary effect at this time. Plunderers are
to be found among all people. They are
bold and insinuating, and when-money is to
expended are. the first to offer their services,
but the last when., fighting is to be - done .
Cowardice and theft are twin brothers, and
always in company ; always at work in dark
and dirty places, ready to cheat an individ•
ual or a' nation.
The great and only purpose or the Gov_
erninent, in_ my judgment. should
.be to
maintain and defend the Constitution as it
is, and to restore;the Union as it was prior
to
.Hte rebellion. The,framers_of that sacred
instrununt, the, Constitution, - certainly
clothed this, Government with powers of
sovereignty ample and sufficient' to defend
it agaii:st all foes, either internal or external.
The resort to powers of , doubtful character.
or not warranted by , the constitution, is
dangerbus, and will be injudicieusly • felt
hereafter when resorted' to as • a precedent.
The war power. so much talked about in
this Hall, is.but the power . et the despot at
best, and shtiuld be 'resorted to only as
limited and qualified by the provisibos of the
Constitution. • •__

moral inft tence. The master will become
tired of an institution not only costly but
dangerous, and he will resort to free labor
for safety. Let those questions of doubtful
utility steno, and cling to the one straight
forward and determined idea of crushing
this accursed rebellion by the recognized
power—of- 7 -the- Constitution..---A--resort.-to
power beyond the provisions of that instru
ment, is an admission of ,the weakness of
the Government.
I conscientiously believe it to be the duty
of every Democrat to support th President
in the exercise of every constitutional power
to suppress this unjuSti liable rebellion, and
with as much cordiality and disinterested
ness as we rendered to Andrew Jackson in
his efforts to destroy nullification. We
would not be consistent if we pursued any
other course. /The Democratic party has
ever clainted.4.rict fidelity .o the Constitu
tion as or of the great landmarks in its
organizayon. Armed rebellion is not in
accords; e with the provisions of that
instrument, but subversive of them. The
only sitrety is in strict obedience to it and
the laws,- Any other course leads to anarchy.
Let us cling to it as the great hope of man
kind, and interpose our strong arms as
against any unlawful efforts to impair its
sacred provisions. A portion of our people
have arrayed. themselves in arms against the
authority of the Government, and for the
purpose of destroying the Constitution. It
is our duty to'assist in rescuing it from the
assaults of these bad men ; and, if in doing
so, it haelbecotne necessary to baptise our
fair fields' in the blood of the true and the

WHITE 110E8E, Juue 28
The eventsstransptring at this point, and
in the army before Riclimund during the pas
four days, have been of such varied character
and thrilling interest, that I scarcely know
where , o cotnnionee or end the record in order
to make it at all understandable to (lie gutter•
al reader Many who were eye witnesses to
those movements havedled panic stricken,
fully convinced that the whole army before
Richmond has been destroyed, and that Gen
oral McClellan has been out-witted, out-gen
pralded, out flanked and " driven Lu-the-wtkil,"
where he promised to place the enemy. The
evacuation of White ❑6n-e was to them an in
explicable mystery under any other condition
of feats ; but had they kept their eyes -open
in the early part of the week, they would have
discovered that the work of evacuation was
silently and surely progressing before any of
the fighting on the right wing. at early as
Tuesday, and that large numbers of vessels
had left the York and Pamatinkey rivers and
were moving rapidl,j , around to,a new basis of
operations on the James river, They might
also have_ebserved that all civillians wore for
bidden to approach the front as early as Tues•
day, under any pretence Whatever, and' that
the immense stores of supplies at Dispatch
Station had been steadily reduced for a week,
until the last barrel of crackers, barrel of beef
end bale of hay had disappeared before the
great contest on Friday, which left the way
open for the enemy to approach that point,
which I have every reason- to believe was de
signedly intended by General McClellan to ho
the mouth of the trap into which they were
being led, and I hope and believe to their en
tire rout and•discomflture. -
Before proceeding to the narrative of events
as they have occurred in the vicinity of White
House during the past few days, I will briefly
state that the whole movement of Gen. Mc-
Clellan, so;far as - the changing of his lines are
concerned 'and in really the making of his

stock of stores and4drage at Dispatch Station,
11 miles from White House, were being car
ried off with great rapidity, and subsequently
we learned that an immense train of wagons
had been milting film that point all day,,
with forage and stores, and that the greatest
activity in their removal was being observed.
In the evening it was announced that. not a
bale of hay, a bushel Of oats, a barrel of beef
or a box of crackers was loft.
Throughout the day at White House the
greatest vigilance was observed in and around
the headquarters of Gen. Casey, who had
pitched his tents on the beautiful lawn in
front of the White House, the building itself
being occupied as the private quarters of the
Sikers of Charity—and here let me add that
it is quite a small building, having not more
than six small rooms in it, the outbuildings
and servant's quarters being separate from
the residence. General Washington himself
could not complain of the use of it by these
ministering angels of the sick and wounded
soldier. An immense train of wagons was
alsomoving_forwarcl-frorn - the-subsistence-and.
commissary departments throughout the day,
and the immense stocks on shore were being
rapidly diminished. The trains on the rail
road were still steadily moving forward with
ammunition, and continued throughout the
night. Cavalry scouts had also been sent out
in various directions during the day, and pre
parations were made for obstructing the roads.
At dusk a new panic was occasioned by the
discovery that bales of hay had boon piled
over and about all the large masses of sub
sistence stores on the landing. indioating tbo
probability that it might become neoessary
during the night to apply the torch to them
to prevent their falling into the hands of the
enemy.
Whilst all these proceedings were going on,
indicating the probable intention of evacuat
ing the landing on shore, the numerous steam
ers and tugs, probably fifty in number, had
been busy towing down the river to West
Point, a distance' of fifty miles, through its
tortuous windings, long lines of brigs and
barks ladened with. stores. The vessels that
were scattered about in the vicinity were col

The reports from the front - on Thursday
evening, contained favorable, heavy skir
mishes having taken place on the right, re•
suiting in the repulse of the enemy, and a
few more of the wounded arrived, who repor
ted everything progres , ing most sati.factori

Nal battle along the whole line would take
place the next dal (Friday). The trains
were kept in motion all night, carrying lot -

trains wri t e still lining the roadA with com

On Friday * morning the first item of news
from the front, received by telegraph was a
gratifying ann uuicement that Stonewall Jack
son and Es ell, in it attempting to turn the
right flank, were repulsed try Uen. McCall
with his Pennsylvania Reserves, and driven
b irk with great ,Thingliter. This attempt of
Jackson was made at three o'clock in the
marring, and had closed :it six o'clock. with
!..ginal_vietory. This. repulse is said to
have - been one of the - rrum Theisive of the way
the enemy being put to a complete root, with
very light loss to our forces. Although at
night, and intended for a surprise. the gal
lant. Pennsylvanians were found to he wide
awake There wile, hoWever, every indica
lion of n general brittle along the whole line,
and General McClellan, in order to he torte
for all emergencies, gave directions to Gen.
Casey and Col Ingalls to make every prep's
ration for the instant removal and destruction
of all the supplies nt White House, should
the result of the impending battle render
such a course necessary, his force being
deemed too small to render the successful de
fence of his position a certainty against such
a movement of the enemy as might ensue.
=
During the afternoon the panic increased
until half•past 'bloc o'clock, and the steamers
and tugs were busily engiged in towing
down Use transports. At three o'clock a de
spatch was received from headquarters, in
tvubstance as follows:

About seven o'clock on Friday evening
numbers of the wounded commenced to arrive
from the front of tho lines with a few of the

From tho It limond Exami nor, June '26:
It was generally expected that a fierce and
general engagement would have taken place
at nor lines yesterday, and l . roin every indi
cation and preparation the surmise seemed
to be well founded ; but althoughmll were
on file tiptoe of expectation, yesterday
passed like many others, without the realiza
Lion of the tnuttli looked for and desired
event. Early in the day cannonading, both
from our own and the enemy's positions.
took place both from the right, left and
centre, b'ut on the two latter points opera
tions were n thing more than a fierce and
artistic artillery duello, in which the enemy
were decidedly worsted. The artillen.
bearing npon Garnett's and Christian's
lams, were particularly active, anti seem d
anxious for a response. This was tint long
in forthcoming, and they ware accordingly
shelled from their several positions with
much , use and with evident loss.
They repeatedly returned to the 'charge,
however,`yet our : artillery received them with
such accuracy, as to drive them, pell-mell,
into the woods, and causing the ablmilon
meat Of chn.ps to the right of the Meehan
icsville bridge All artill-iry 'duel also took
place upon the York River railroad, between
six and seven miles from the city, at which
place, also. the enemy were endeavoring, to
erect .breastworks itijite woods... Being In-,
formed of this, some pieces of the first Vir
ginia artillery proceeded within shelling
instance, and by superior execution, silenced
the enemy's guns and stopped their excava
lions, But the most serious and important
tratisactien at our lines yesterday took place
on the Williamsburg road.
The enemy, ad ;aneing their lines, sudden•
ly yell upon our pickets, and, owing 'to
superior numbers, drove them in upon our
supports. The advance of the enemy consis•
ted of Sickles' and another brigade. In.
formed of the state of things, the Ist
Louisiana was sent forward to reconnoitre
and find the enemy's force, posi ion aiid
intentions ; but to do this their journey lay
across a large ono field, and while ad van
sing the cowardly enemy screened their
forceii in the thicket, and having caught the
:gallant Ist Louisiana in ambuscade, deliv
bred a murderous..fire, which struck flown
dozens of the valiant fellows. But not
dismayed at this reception and their heavy
loss, they dashed at Sickles' hirelings with
their bayonets, and routed them.
Still opposed to greater numbers than their
own, the Ist Louisiana was quickly supported,
we are informed, by the ;Id, 4th, and 22d
Georgia regiments of Wright's brigade, who
held a large fo ce of the foe at bay for two
hours before our forces were gotten into
position, and appalled the enemy by their
formidable trout. Except in the Ist Louisi
ana, we hear of few casualties, and this arose
from the fact that they were the victims of
a trap laid by the 'Yankees and were too
heroic to fall hack when discovering
Col. Shivers, Major Nellegan, and many men
were wounded ; Li ut Gilmore and some
others being, killed. This loss arose purely
from an esprit du co/psi, which prompted
them to remain and stand fast, tin ugh
opposed by vastly supe ior numbers.
It is said, however, that when. the Lonisi
smalls closed their brokea'rank and ehi rged
upon the enemy's masses, it was so terrible
that they gave - way - in -disorder.. This
conduct is perhaps akin to. that which
extracted 'the expression of Gen. Bosquet
when witnessing the brilliant and famous
(stinky charge of the English Light 'Brigade
at Balaklava, viz "That is magnificent,
but is not war." The conduct of the Louisi
anians and Georgians is highly spokes of S.
nothing can detract front their superior
qualities as soldiers and patriots. 13ut an
excess of bravery characterizes their move
ments. The loss of the Louisianians is
reported at tourteen officers and two hundred
men killer'? and worinded„but this we believe
to he an exaggeration.
Subsequenvo this brilliant but unfortunate
transactien r .an.artillery. force.was moved to,

, ;despite the traps, ambuscades and petty
banning of the enemy evinced on many
occasions as on yesterday.
As Gen. McClell n may claim the severe
skirmish of yesterday as another "Federal
victory," we will simply say that the brave
Louisianians were oppdsed to no less than
seven Yankee regiments, as the following
prisoners by them justify ; for, in addition
to the seizure of Captain James Aleltiernan,
of the 7th New Jersey, there are also the
following visitors to Libby's warehouse : One

ANOTHER SPIRITED ENGAGEMENT.—Con
tr .ry to the prediction of the knowing ones,
no general engagement took place yesterday.
A considerable fight, however, did occur
between seven and eight in the morning, on
the Williamsburg road. We Bathe ed the
following particulars from an officer who wae
wounded in the engagement, and' brought Got
this city this afternoon. The 22d Georgia
regiment, which was on picket duty, was
attacked at an early hour, and driven in by
a vastly superior force of the enemy, when
the .Ith Georgia was ordered to its support.
With this force engaged on our side, the
fight lasted for some time; when the Ist
Louisiana regiment was ordered to their
support. Arriving on the field, Col. Shire, s
of the Louisiana regiment, gavemommand to
his men to charge the enemy.,
The order was promptly obeyed, the men
charged with spirit and determination in
solid column, and reeeived the fire of an
entire brigade of the enemy, and sustained
a heavy loss in killed awl wountle
forcements were then promptly ordered to
the front, and the euetuv were driven, back
with very heavy slaughter. The last rein
forcements sent up, we believe consisted of
the nth North Carolina and several other
regiments, who fought nobly, sustaining a
slight loss,
A portion of the forcP engaged was the
notorious drunken brigade of Sickles
. The ellgagament lasted about two hours,
nod is said by these engaged in it to have
been very severe.
