A ladv who went to the Tennessee River to'visit her husband who was iu the army, and who spent some time as a nurse iu (mo of the hospitals, gives au account of her experience. We quote the followieg touching sketch from one of her letters : My next patient was an. orphan boy, sixteen years of age. Frank 15 , be- longud to Birge's sharpshooters, and a braver heart never belt in the bosom of mortal than that which bout in his. Fraiikie's biue eyes greeted me with a smile before I «as near enough to speak to him. When I bent over and asked him how he felt, he answered me cheer- fully, saying he Imped to be able soon to return to his regiment. I b#thed his face, gave him a cup of hot lea, with .some toast, and left him sleeping sweetly Poor little Frank 15. daily grew weak- er. Notb/.ng could tempt hiiu to eat, and his oough grew worse, while his face be came thin and pale. He never lo.Tt his joyous spirit, but always seeimd hopeful, even when too ill to rise from his berth. One afternoon 1 was startled on enter- ing, by the most piteous cries, and found that they came from my little favorite, generally so brave and putieut " Why, Frankie, what is the matter ?" I asked, bending over him. " Oh, you have come ! I did wish for you so much, Oh, I shall die, I wanted somebody by who seemed to care for me a little. You do like me, dou't you, dear Mrs. 8. ? You've been so krtid to me. Oh, this pain ! i can't stand it long !" His hands grasped mine nervously, and every fibre iu his frame quivered with pain. I saw the dews of death were standing thickly already on the broad, beautiful forehead over which the fair hair clustered so pivttily, and my eyes fil'ed with tears of sorrow deeper than words can express. I stooped to kiss him, and a glad cryescaped the poor blue lips ol ihe dying boy. ''Oh, kiss mo again, wou't you? that is like my sister. Do kiss me once more; 1 feel better Oh, I would n't mind to die, if my sisters were here to tell me they loved me. You do love me a lit- tle, dou't you?'' , '! Yes a great deal, Frankie : as much as if I were your sister. Dou't you think so ? I'msure you re a good boy, and 1 am sorry to see you suffer so." lie drew me down tjward him, and pressed his face close to my arms I could endure no more. The poor boy's mute appeal for tenderness and sympa- thy in his dying lmur. far from home, breathing out his young iife ainid stran- gers, unnerved me. 1 drew that young bright head to my bosom, and my tears fell fast upon his sunny curls. Did the gentle sisters he loved have one thought of the scene that was trans- piring on that night, while perchance they sat. and talked of him, their only and petted brother in their far off home in Nebraska? " You will ftay with mo to night, won't you ?" he plead again. " Oh, you won't leave me to die alone I" " No, Frankie, I'll stay with you." He was comforted, and became more quiet ae I clasped his hands and tried to soothe him. Gradually a purple hue overspread his face. iNow his lips be- came whiter, and the large clear eyes grew restless. \\ hen he could no longer speak, those eyes plead for some token of endearment, and each time that I pressed a kiss upon his forehead, a look of deep and earnest gratitude softened the suffering expres- sion of bis face About nine o'clock be breathed his last, and now every time I look down at my hand and see the little ring of mine he wore before he died, I seem to see the parting look of his great sad eyes ere they were fixed in death.

THE FIGHT ON SUNDAY. last Correspondent of the N. Y. Times. FIELD OF UATTLK BEFORE KICHMOND, SuniUy A. M., June 1, 18G2. A battle before Richmond has at put to ihe test the rebel boast as to what they would do with General McOle.bin's !>rmy when they should get it beyond the protection of the gunboats. Though the advantage of a suddci? movement, against the weakest point in our lines, gave the enemy a temporary success, the final result has not been such as to afford onccMirngemcut to their disheartened and demoralized troops, or occasion any fears as to our ultimate possession of the rebel capital. The attack commenced shortly before 1 o'clock on Saturday, on the left wing of the army, on the furher side of the Chickahomiuy where the advance post tiou was held by the division of General Casey, much the weakest in the army, composed almost entirely of rate regiments, and reduced by disease to an effective force of some 6,000 men. THE POSITION HELD BYGENERAL CASEY Was on the Williamsburg sta^ro road, within six or seven miles of Richmond, and ou a line so extended at the front hat. the troops required to maintain )ieket guards of sufficient strength, made 10 slight draft on his weakened forces. The right of the line was hi Id by the first Brigade, under Gen H. M.Neglee, iis pickets extended across the railroad running parallel with the Williamsburg oad, about a mile to the right) to near he sixth mile-post from Richmond, and o on furthi r to the right and a ti: tie to he rear until within a short distance where 3en. Smuner had thrown a bridge across he stream, and was hourly expected to ross to complete the line of pickets to he i iver. The entire of Gen. Casoy's position, but litttla artillery, iind wore evidently disposed to make good tho deficiency by pre$MH£ to close quarters with thair su- perior forces, to bear down at once by weighi of numbers the feeble skeleton regiments of three or four hundred meu whS Composed the advance division. Most of Casey's troops were thrown forward to the edge of the woods in front of the position to moot the advance of the rebels, a few regiments being left be hind the partially completed rifle pits, a short distanc to thorear. Thus a di vision, nuarly new to warfare, was sud denly exposed, in an open fie^d, to the heaviest of fire from an enemy covered to a considerable extent by tho woods through which they were advancing.— Officer after officer fell, or was borne from the field a wounded man ; the men dropped by scores, and the usual number of weak jointed ones were falling to the rear But in spite of the rapid thinning of their ranks, the regiments generally held their ground until the enemy sue ceeded in pushing around onthe lef flank, a:id poured in an enfilading fire from that direction. The sixty rounds ofammuuition with which they entered the fight were nearly exhausted, aud ii< moie was at hand. ARRIVAL OF REINFOIiCESIENTS. Meantime one of General Couch's brig ades, oommauded by General Abercroiu bio, was ordered up to the support ol [jeneral Neglee on tho right, General Di'veus, of the same division, sustaining jeneral Wassell ou the centre, and Gen- )t a point on the Chiekahc eld by the Second Brigade, Gen. Was- ill's (formerly Gen. Kcim's) extended •orn Gen. Neglee's lines to the left a iort distance across the Williumsburg oad, where it joined the Third Brigade, ). Palmer's, stretching some distance urther to the left, and joined the lines f Gen. Couch, who guarded the left ink, the main portion of his forces be- ing a short distance to the rear of Casey, ou the Williauisburg road. THE NATURE OF THEOROUN'11. The position occupied by the main body of these two divisions was a clear- ing of about one mile square, surrounded on the left and ihe front by a forest, iu -which Geu Casey's pickets were stationed. On the right, a wooded swamp divided th<? clearing from a simi- lar opening in the forest,, along the rail- road, which was occupied by Gen. Neglee with his brigade. Just beyond the woods to the front were similar clearings with woods ou their further side, whare the rebe.s lay eoncea'ed, their pickets oc- cupying the edge of the forest, and sep arated from our pickets by the width of the fields, forming a sort of neural ground between the two armies, over which each kept close watch lest his neighbor should take poasessiou. TIIE ENEMY RECONNOITERING. Our proximity to the rebels was evi dently annoying to them, and on Thurs- day, and again on Friday, they made an un- successful attempt, with a force of a few hundred, to drive in the pickets and dis cover what mischief was plotting behind the belt of woods sheltering Gen. Casey from their view. Their attack was res olutcly met by the pickets, who fell back on the reserves and held their ground, defeating the purpose of the en- emy. Meanwhile General Casey was actively at work selecting his position, a largo force of men b.'ing busy, under the skill- ful direction of Lieutenant K. W. West, of his staff, digging rifle pits and felling trees for abattis. A similar line of defensive works had been commenced and partially completed at General Ca- sey's former position, at the Seven Pines, three miles further to the rear, and just back of these was a line of eajthworks, constructed by General Couch, and more carefully constructed Fniling iu the two attempts to gather information by forcing back Gen. Ca.-ey s pickets, the rebels apparently resolved upon an advance in j'once upon the left wing of the army, douhtles.-f determining to drive it beyond the Chickahominy, should the opportunity offer, and put themselves in a position to turn General McClellan's left flank. TUB ATTACK ON SATURDAY. Shortly after uoon the grand attack commenced, Gen. i asey's pickets being driven in all along the front, after a spirited resistance, the rebels advancing in force along three roads—the Wiiliams- burg road to our loft, the railroad in the centre, and the ' Nino-mi'e road." as it is called on the right. With his feeble division greatly weakened by extension, Gen Casoy had no backbone tooppose to this sudden attack But no thought of yielding his ground entered the mind of the old soldier, scarred with the wounds of Mexico and disciplined to danger by a hundred fights- His troops were im- mediately for ed into position, the three brigades maintaining their relative po- sitions on the right left and centre, and as thorough preparations were made for resisting the would admit attack as its of. Regan'B suddenness New York Battery was sta ioned just to the right of the VVilliamsburg road, Bates' Battery of Napoleon guns further to the left across the. road and Fitch's Battery three or four hundred yards to the roar, the last, sending its shell over the heads of our troops at the enemy beyond. The fourth battery was near the railroad, further to the right The vigor with which the onomy pressed forward to the attack indicated the confidence of superior strength. A battalion of tworegiinents pressed against Gen, Neglee on the right, another fell on Gen. Wassell at the centre, and a third on Gen Palmer to the left pouring in at once, a fire hot and heavy, and ad- vancing with great resolution in face of the steady fire of canister andgrape from the guns in front, and shell from those further to the rear, mowing dowh their ranks in all directions. Therebelshad oral l'eck, with the remaining brigade, supporting General Palmer on the left. V\ hen General Casey's troops were forced to give way, the rebels fell upon these brigades of Couch's division, who disputed every inch of ground until sus tained by General Kearney, pressing up the Williamsburg road with reinforce inents to meet them, supported by the division of General Hooker in his rear Pressing rapidly forward General Kear uey advanced along the Willramsburg road to within a'short distance of our original position, where he bivouacked for the night in front of the enemy. It was along this Williamsburg road that thf main attack was made, and here our troops were forced back for half a mile more, before the arrival of General Heintzolman's corps, the feeble brigades of Casey s division, averaging less tha:i 2,000 men, being completely broken up, many, if not most of the officers killed, wounded or missing, and the privates scattered through the woods and along the road. Bravely and well did Gen. Casey do his duty, pressing on to the ex trt-me front and cheering on his men, re- gardless of the storm of fire and hail that raged about him, cutting down his offi- cers ou ali sides, but strangely escaping his own person. Bravely and well did most of his offices stand by him, until, oue after another, they were borne from the field dead or wounded. TIIK LOSS OF ARTILLEKY. Col. Bailey, Chief of Artillery was shot early in the afternomi, tho ball striking him in the head and causing his death after a short petiod of insensibility. .Major Van Vaulkenberg, the second in o:i.inaud of the First New York Artil- lery, was killed, Adjutant Wm. Ramsey wounded, while every battery but one lost its quota of men, and some of them lost nearly all their h *rscs. Bates' Bat- tery of Napoleon guns—12-pound brass pieces—which nas to the front, was deprived of locomotion and stuck fast in the mud, was left behind in the retirement of our troops, but, not until Gen Ncg.ee had taken it upon himself to see that several of the pieces were spiked. In addition to this, the 3-inch Parrot gun of Battery H, was disabled by a shot, and fell into the hands of tho ene- my. The Pennsylvania Reserve Battery, o ( ' Couch's division, also lost one of their guns—these eight pieces of ordnance constituting our entire loss, so far as 1 could learn. OEN. SUMNER'S "ADVANCE. Meantime General Sumner had suc- peeded ia bringing b s troops acr-ss 'the Ciiickahuminy, and was advancing ou the right to maintain our position there, where less ground had been lost. Alter several days of labor, General Sumner had thrown two bridges across the crock between Bottom's Bridge and New Bridge, where local reports held it to be impossible to find any foundation for piles to support the superstructures.— One of these bridges was some two miles above Bottom's Bridge, the other a mile further up the stream. Tho lower of these was carried away during the heavy storm of Friduy night, and General Sum- tier was obliged to depend upon a single sh;iky structure for the passage of these troops, who nearly all, however, suc- ceeded in crossing that night, the head of the column reached the Nine-mile Road, along which the rebels were press- ing our troops, at about 7 o'clock, hold- ing the enemy in check for the night, preventing them from following up in that direction the advantage they had gained during the day, THE FIGHT ON SUNDAY. Flushed with their seeming victory on Saturday, the rebels awoke with confi- deucu on Sunday to follow up their movements, sure of driving us this time to the Chickahominy and bevoud. But they made the unfortunate mistake of es- timating the strength of our reserves liy the weakness of our advance. Most bit- terly did they pay fir their mistake. Press- ing eagerly forward with confidence of victory they were met by the trained troops of Heiutzelman and iSumner, whose unyie)dii.g columns checked their tierce assault and turned the tide of battle everywhere against them, fore of the bayonet on It was their turn iny them at the point tuwa ds Richmond now to break and run, and iheir loss of the Sabbath left them little cause to re- joice over the trifling gain of Saturdy. Terribly didthe rebels suffer on this, as well as iheprevious day, from the well direced fire of our artillery, piling the ground tciih the slain. Terrible also were the frequent ciiarges of our solid col- uums. pre*sing them back, step by step, to the last point of endurance, when they broke and ran, ingloi iously leaving behind them many of their men and officers, as well as privates, prisoners in our hands. OUR LOSS IN KILLED AND WOUNDED. That the loss is very severe, and par- ticularly so in the matter there is no matter of doubt, culty of ligh'ly estimating our loss also enchanced by the fact that many those falling were unavoidably left upon tho ground subsequently occupied by the rnemy in his 6retw)ccc«fQi attnol The of officers; The diffi^ is of number of these we cannot learo unti regimental rolls nre compared. It i sincerely to be regretted, in view of th tales wo have of the barbarous trcatmen of our wounded by the rebels, when one they fall into their hands, that necessit; should have compelled any to be left up on the field, to receive '•' the tender mer cies^of the wicked." That the rebel los was greater bv far than our owu Id not doubt Besides our superiority ii artillery, our small arn.s were much mor effective, having all the superiority ii fatal power, which the Minie ball has over the round rifle ball. The wounds inflicted by the enemy were mainly bj the latter. Had ihe leaden hail in whicl our meu were obliged to stind so Ion been composed of conical instead of rouiK shot, irany more Rachels would mourning over the lost, and many more homes draped iu funeraljWeeds, THE CASUALTIES OP SATURDAY. Of those who entered into into close range of tho enemy's guns, scarcely one of the officers that I saw escaped without some mark of tho enemy's bullets or clothes or person, when no postive wounc was inflictd. Gen. Neglee was struck four tunes by balls that pierced his clothes, inflecting slight bruises on hi person. Of the line of officers not positively wounded, Col. 0. H. Van Wyck, of the Fifty sixth New York Regiment, seems to have met with the nio;*t narrow es- cape, being struck by a spent shell which doubled up his sword stieath, and severe ly bi uised his left kuee. Had the shell been nearer its initial velocity, the Colo- nel would have lost a pair of limbs, of essential service to a man of his active habits; and had it exploded, Congress would have beeu minus ouo of its work- ing members Gen. Casey's son-in-law, Col. Hunt, received a ball through the fleshy part of h.s thigh, inflicting a wouud more pain- ful than dangerous. Besides the guns, General Casey lost al' his camp equipage, his tents being pitched upon the field of battle in such near proximity to the rebels as to render their loss inevitable i'l CSSO of the slight- est yielding of his troops. The Generals in his division must als" have lost their effects, which, fortunately weie of no reat value, all the baggage of the ofh- as well as the kitapsncks of the soldiers, having been some days before ordered to the o'her pido of the Chicka hominy, with the wago is, Quartermas ters' stores and (.veryihing not absolute- ly indispensable. So the loss was slight, except in the disappearance ol papers of considerable value, which were left iu the euts. No man who knows Gen. Casey can do otherwise than sympathise with him in the misfortunes of disease and disaster which have left him with but the skele ton of a division now able to muster scarcely moie, if, indeed, as much, as the strength of a brigade.

Corcoran- RICHMOND Va.,Saturday, May 11, 1862. To Oftpt. James Ii. Kirber, No. 599 Broadway : M Y DEAR FRIEND—I learn by your letter, and also through other sources, that his excellency bov. Morgan has been pleased to appoint me one of the Harbor Masters of New York. I am confident chat the appointment has not been solicited by any of my friends. I therelorj feel th.it hi.s Excellency could be actuated by no other motive than that of the kindest consideration for my welfare, and, while I am infiui'ely grate- fu', I am obliged, under exisiing circum- stances, respectfully to decline the ac- ceptauco of the appointment. Many reasons clearly demonstrate the propiio- ty of my action, among which I mention the following : J'irst—If in the possession of my liberty before the! termination of this wicked rebellion, I desire to serve my country iu the field, by assisting to suppress it; and, second—I cauuot pos sibly thing of accepting a salary for duty really performed by another person.— You will, therefore, please have any mon- ey which may have been paid to Mrs. Corcoran by Mr. Jiarber immediately re- funded. And, as I have no opportunity at present of writing to Governor Mor fian and expressing my sentiments, will you do me the favor of performing the service, and take occasion to express my warmest thanks I have been deeply pained to learn thut a report has been circulated calcula- ted to injure the reputation of Colonel Crocker and Major Cassidy, of the Ninety third New York Volunteers.— These gentlemen have been fellow prison- ers of mine since tho 21th ult . and I am thoroughly convinced thai none are more irmly attached to the Constitutkn and iaws of the United States, or more larnestly desire the suppression of the rebellion and the restoration of public order, or are more willing to sacri- ice every personal consideration for the attainment of that object. They are lembcs of my mess, as also Lieutenant Jolo'.K.l Benedict, of the Seventy third S T cw York Volunteers, and as we have hu fullest opportunity of interchanging our ideas aud views onall matters, we ire thoroughly conversant witn the icel- ngs of each other The two former are suffering for change ol clothing in couso- jueuce of their baggage not having been urwarded to them. Colonel Benedict vas taken prisoner at Williamsburg, Va., in ihe 5th inst., and is suffering from praiu of his ankle. Captains Price, of he Seventieth, Drake, of the i'liirty• hint, and Willis, of the Seventy fourth N'cw York Infantry, and Captain Lee, f the Sixth New Jersey Volunteers, lave also been taken at same time aud !aee, and with Adjutant Hasbrouk, of he Fifth New York Cavalry, are now lerc The intelligence of tho death of my nost highly esteemed friend, Colonel dichael Duheny, has filled ma with feel ngs of the deepest rcgrat. Ireland has ertainly lost one of her truest aud most evoted children.

There was ouoe an old man whose yes had become dim, bis ears deaf. Vhen he sat at tho dinner table be ou'd hardly hold on to his spoon, so hat sometimes he spilt tho soup on the loth. His son and danghtor-in-law vere much displeased with this; nt iBt t-hoy put him ina corner behind ihe tovo ami gave him loud in a little arthen pail. Ha never got as much s he could eat, and he would often iok towards the table with wet yet Migiug eyes One d ty his shaken hands let the lit- e dish fall, and it was broken. The voinan scolded, but he said nothing : e only sighed They brought a vooden trough for him. Once as he was thus sitting in the corner, his little orardehilo!, about four years old, was piaying on tho floor near him, with Home pieces of wood. " What nro you making f. asked tbft father smilingly. "I p.m making a trough," answered tho child, "for fa 1 her and mother to eat from when they are old and 1am grown big." Tho man and his w.fo looked at each other in silence. They brought their old father bacli to the table and gav.) him r,:-! n.uch as ho wished, and they never again spoke angry when bis trembling hands spilt soup on the cloth. A SHREWD THICK.—One of the bat tery men got a fine horse last week in a way that does credit to his shrcw<lno-s and ingenuity. lie was out with a party getting horses for the Government by authority, and giving receipts, when, seeing a fine brick house some distance off, he said to the captain, " I'll get you a horse." Running around through the woods, as if chased, he rushed up to the house, breathless, exclaiming, " The Yan- kees are after me! The Yankees are after me ! For God's sake, give me a horse!" He had an India rubber suit on which concealed his uniform, aud the rebel scouts had been in that direction, so his story seem d probable The own cr of the establishment, who was a stout secessionist, showed area,:, sympathy, and said he guessed he couldfixhim out.— Together they ran to the stablo, aud found a good-looking stallion, but one of his feet wa< a little sore. •' That won't do," said tho battery man. " The Yan keos have got faster horses than that, and they'll catch me sure." " Never mind, I have got a better one than that," replied the secessionist, and went to a small out building from which he led a magnificent bay Horse! Hurriedly he put on uaddle and bridle, bade the bat. tery man take the horse and be off, and God bless him. Quickly the horse and man were out of sigH, and making a de- tour through the woods, joined the bat tery. ^ Tho perfume of a thousniid roses soon dies, but tho pain caused by one of thoir thorns remains long after ; a saddened remembrance in the midst] of mirth is liko that thorn among the roues, The Instructions of Gov.

ED STAXLT, Military Governor of North Carolina. A Merited Eebuke. A rosident of Nashville, recently on a vi.-it to this city, tells an amusing an eodote of how a violent secessionist at the Tennessee capkal g it a merited re- buke from General Dunn nt. A fa- mous physician's female household de- ported themselves so rudely to our sol- diers, once or twice actually spitting in their faces, that the General ordered the house to be put under guard, with orders to let noone pass in or out. The Doctor, who was in tho country at the time, was greatly incensed on find- ing his access to his own homo do- barred by a guard of soMiery on his return, and forthwith went to head- quarters, boiling over wi h rage. On sta ing the facts, the General calmly replied that he was not aw'are of giv- ing any order to put iho complainant's house under guard. Ins's'ing that the fact was so, he pointed to his residence, which was in fight and near at hand, as evidence, for the guard could bu plainly seen. "I", that your residence?" inquired iho General," blandly. "To bet sure it RJ." " Why, I took it for granted, from the conduct of its fe. aiale occupants, that it was an abode if shameless courtezans, ami I ordered a mutrd bo placed around ii to prevent the visita ions of our soldiery."—Cor. N. Y. Post. Snakspearean Tho following extract nn General Butler, from tho Jackson Mississ/jioian, is .-overely tragic : Is it possible that Builer can brea'.bethe atmosphere < fNew Orleans an hour after the issuance pi such an .>rder? Is thero no Jackson amontr her brave and chivalrous sons who will otter himself a martyr in defence- of the mothers, wives, and daughters of tho city, ami gladly give up bis own to take the life of the ruffian and the outlaw who dares to breathe suspicion against their angelic puritv. "Is all manhxod lost, that such a wreU-h is allowed to livo, move, and have his being amoogst us ? We will not believe it. On the contrary, we shall soon expect to hear that the insult to tho fair daughters of New Orleans has boon wiped out in the blood of their cowardly slar.derer. And when it is done, let the occasion bo propi- [i MIS—not in bis orisons, but when he is drunk, asleep, or in tho inees'.u.His pleasures of his bed—then trip him that his heels may kick at heaven, and that his soul may be if damned and black as hell whoroto it goes." CAPTURE OF MRS GENERAL LEU AND TIi-:a Two T)AU.onTRRs.— Mrs General Robert E. Lee and her two daughters were captured on Saturday near Hano ver Court-House, twenty miles from Riehmnnd. They had retired to a farm house, fearful that Richmond would be bombarded, and a scouting party of our cavalry, happening to visit Hanover, were informed of the whereabouts of Mrs. Lee, by a contraband The old lady piofessed to be highly indignant, and her daughter read our soldiers a lec- ture upon the duties of chivalry to wom- en. Of course, such heroics p-isaed for so much, and tho end of the affair was, that a guard was set around the dwelling, and the f'males told that hey must re- main in surveillance at Hanover, or be removed to Colonel Lee's residence at the White FL0U8-. No information wis obtained from them, as they had not been in Richmond for a month—Cor. N. Y. Herald. Wendell Philips Rampant. At tho late session of the Ncw Eng- land Anti-Slavery Society at Boston, Wendell Phillips made a speech, an ab- stract of which we append from the Bos- ton Courier: "Mr. Wendell Phillips was the next speaker. In the statements of Mr. Bird he recognized only new evidence that with the spirit which actuated the gov- ernment and the soldiers, Union, in our day at least, was impossible. The preju- dice against the negro, the idea thaS we are the dominant ract:, had not been conquered yet. Mr. Adams, of Massa- chusetts, the American Minister to the Court of St. Junes, singly and alone- does not recognize the Ambassador of Hayti at that court. The President, with servile, lickspittle haste, runs before he is bid dot) to revoke the Iliihter proc- lamation. If Hunter had issued a pro- slavery prociama;ion, be sure the gov. erume. t would have waited for red tape. It showed the old pro si ivery leaning of the government Mr. Phillips believed that President. Lincoln's decree in rela- tion to the Hunter proclamation had lost I a quarter of the chatices of preserving the Uuion What were the nnti slaveiv people to do now? They must educate public opiuion, that was all, and force the government up to the pn par auti- slavery point Emancipation won't save the Union now cmfiseatioa v ou't savo it. Jefferson Davis will not cone back into this Union, but he will be found in Mexico, with his leaders and many of his people. TheCon_rre-soi theJJnited States it had been shown, could not trust New Orleans with an election in this genera- tion. If General MeClellan's strategy was to disperse, not to conquer—if his strategy was continually to drive beforo him the rebels, and not. give them bat- tle—if his strategy was to break up an army of 100,000 men and make them disperse into the woods and mountains, where they could pursue guerrilla war- fare— then lie has had "brilliant success." Haileck, to day, den't know whether there is an army in front of himor not, and what is tho reason? Because lie shuts the contrabands out of his lines.— If Robert Small had gone to Haileck with his steamer General Halieck would have sent him back with it. Put Sigel in Haileck s place, [great applause] aud in twelve hours time Sigel would know what Beaurcgard was to have for his next morning's breakfast, and would at once know what that section of the country was made of, and would have possession of it. Butler—ho honored him—half brutal, was just tho man to rule New Orleans. In Massachusetts he did not amount to a great deal, but in New Or- leaus ho was just the man, and why can- not the government take a leaf from his book. The President and the Cabinet of the United States were treasonable in their delay. The people want the gov- ernment to take a position. The Presi- dent, and the Secretary of War should be impeached for allowing Mercicr t_> go down to Richmond, with their consent, to confer with the rebel leaders. That Minister had no right for any purpose to hold conference with rebels in amis, and wluie is the government that would have allowed it, but this. General BanKs de- served defent for not immediately hang- ing those rebel men^pp women who eu- trapped several of his soldiers visiting their houses for food, a;id killed them.— Instead of letting McClellan wear his laurels a petition should go up from the people of the United States for his re- moval and to place some one there who would cease the child's play that ho had thus far pursued He wanted a warrior »t the head of our armies—Fremont, Si- gel or Hunter—or Haileck, even, if he would prove the warrior. If McClellau was asked to day if h : could defeat Davis at the risk of slavery, he would hesitate. Whoever was the cause of withdrawing thesildiers from General Banks' division should bo removed at once—the sooner the better. In conclusion, ho said, that if Sigel or Hiuter was placed in MeClel- lan'.s place, we should ut ouee hear of decisive victories. •KST Governor Br»dfc>rd, of Mary- land, on behalf of the Stuto, his offered to tiie Government additional volunteers, to serve during tho war, and to bo em. ployed when and where the Government may think proper.

    A Hospital Scene.A ladv who went to the Tennessee

    River to'visit her husband who was iuthe army, and who spent some time as anurse iu (mo of the hospitals, gives auaccount of her experience. We quotethe followieg touching sketch from oneof her letters :

    My next patient was an. orphan boy,sixteen years of age. Frank 15 , be-longud to Birge's sharpshooters, and abraver heart never belt in the bosom ofmortal than that which bout in his.

    Fraiikie's biue eyes greeted me with asmile before I «as near enough to speakto him. When I bent over and askedhim how he felt, he answered me cheer-fully, saying he Imped to be able soon toreturn to his regiment.

    I b#thed his face, gave him a cup ofhot lea, with .some toast, and left himsleeping sweetly

    Poor little Frank 15. daily grew weak-er. Notb/.ng could tempt hiiu to eat, andhis oough grew worse, while his face became thin and pale. He never lo.Tt hisjoyous spirit, but always seeimd hopeful,even when too ill to rise from his berth.

    One afternoon 1 was startled on enter-ing, by the most piteous cries, and foundthat they came from my little favorite,generally so brave and putieut

    " Why, Frankie, what is the matter ?"I asked, bending over him. •

    " Oh, you have come ! I did wish foryou so much, Oh, I shall die, I wantedsomebody by who seemed to care for mea little. You do like me, dou't you,dear Mrs. 8. ? You've been so krtidto me. Oh, this pain ! i can't stand itlong !"

    His hands grasped mine nervously,and every fibre iu his frame quiveredwith pain. I saw the dews of deathwere standing thickly already on thebroad, beautiful forehead over which thefair hair clustered so pivttily, and myeyes fil'ed with tears of sorrow deeperthan words can express. I stooped tokiss him, and a glad cry escaped thepoor blue lips ol ihe dying boy.

    ' 'Oh, kiss mo again, wou't you? thatis like my sister. Do kiss me once more;1 feel better Oh, I would n't mind todie, if my sisters were here to tell methey loved me. You do love me a lit-tle, dou't you?'' ,

    Correspondent of the N. Y. Times.FIELD OF UATTLK BEFORE KICHMOND,

    SuniUy A. M., June 1, 18G2.A battle before Richmond has at

    put to ihe test the rebel boast as to whatthey would do with General McOle.bin's!>rmy when they should get it beyondthe protection of the gunboats. Thoughthe advantage of a suddci? movement,against the weakest point in our lines,gave the enemy a temporary success, thefinal result has not been such as to affordonccMirngemcut to their disheartened anddemoralized troops, or occasion any fearsas to our ultimate possession of the rebelcapital.

    The attack commenced shortly before1 o'clock on Saturday, on the left wingof the army, on the furher side of theChickahomiuy where the advance posttiou was held by the division of GeneralCasey, much the weakest in the army,composed almost entirely of rate regiments,and reduced by disease to an effective forceof some 6,000 men.

    THE POSITION HELD BY GENERAL CASEY

    Was on the Williamsburg sta^ro road,within six or seven miles of Richmond,and ou a line so extended at the fronthat. the troops required to maintain)ieket guards of sufficient strength, made10 slight draft on his weakened forces.The right of the line was hi Id by thefirst Brigade, under Gen H. M.Neglee,iis pickets extended across the railroadrunning parallel with the Williamsburgoad, about a mile to the right) to nearhe sixth mile-post from Richmond, ando on furthi r to the right and a ti: tie tohe rear until within a short distance

    where3en. Smuner had thrown a bridge acrosshe stream, and was hourly expected toross to complete the line of pickets tohe i iver.

    The entire of Gen. Casoy's position,

    but litttla artillery, iind wore evidentlydisposed to make good tho deficiency bypre$MH£ to close quarters with thair su-perior forces, to bear down at once byweighi of numbers the feeble skeletonregiments of three or four hundred meuwhS Composed the advance division.

    Most of Casey's troops were thrownforward to the edge of the woods in frontof the position to moot the advance ofthe rebels, a few regiments being left behind the partially completed rifle pits, ashort distanc to tho rear. Thus a division, nuarly new to warfare, was suddenly exposed, in an open fie^d, to theheaviest of fire from an enemy covered toa considerable extent by tho woodsthrough which they were advancing.—Officer after officer fell, or was bornefrom the field a wounded man ; the mendropped by scores, and the usual numberof weak jointed ones were falling to therear But in spite of the rapid thinningof their ranks, the regiments generallyheld their ground until the enemy sueceeded in pushing around on the lefflank, a:id poured in an enfilading firefrom that direction. The sixty roundsofammuuition with which they enteredthe fight were nearly exhausted, aud ii<moie was at hand.

    ARRIVAL OF REINFOIiCESIENTS.

    Meantime one of General Couch's brigades, oommauded by General Abercroiubio, was ordered up to the support ol[jeneral Neglee on tho right, GeneralDi'veus, of the same division, sustainingjeneral Wassell ou the centre, and Gen-

    THE NATURE OF THE OROUN'11.

    The position occupied by the mainbody of these two divisions was a clear-ing of about one mile square, surroundedon the left and ihe front by a forest,iu -which Geu Casey's pickets werestationed. On the right, a woodedswamp divided th

    During Monday night orders oatoe forus to march early Tuesday morning, withtwo days ration?, and with our overcoatsaud shelter tents swung over our shoul-ders. In the night rain set in, and Tues-day morning, at an early hour, and in aheavy rain storm, this whole division wasastir, getting ready for a march. Beforemany of this regiment could get anythingto eat the order was given to " fall in,"and off we started in a rain storm, whichis nothing unusual for us. For threehours the rain continued to descend, whilethe ground began to loosan, to mix, andsoou became nothing more or loss than alarge mortar bed. For miles we wadedthrough mud aud water up to our knees,aud sometimes we would get into a claybed, where we could hardly got out.

    At the time of leaving camp none ofus knew our destination, though I thoughtthat we were to strike the Virginia Cen-tral Railroad, but at what point I knewnot, neither did I think that we wouldreach it as soon as we did, and still fur-ther from my thoughts was the idea thatthis division was to fight and win twobattles that day.

    About noon the rain ceased, the suncame out, and the heat became intense.The command was now given to "halt 'and rest, and we scattered into the woods.Hardly were we seated before the boom-ing of a cannon was heard in front, andbut a few miles from us. Another andanother followed in quick succession, andthose by the rattling of musketry. Wewere hastily formed and commenced ourmarch towards the firing. A short inarchbrought us in sight of our battery, whenour brigade, by regiments, formed intoline of battle, and each in its turn disap-peared in the woods, and made their waytowards the scent; of battle. This regi-ment lay here for some half an hour.Our situation was in a ravine a short dis-tance in the rear and also to the left ofour battery. Shells occasionally burstnear us, and one piece came singing downthe road, fell in a few feet of u?, and waspicked up by one of the boys. Whilewe were hero a number of wounded werecarried by us. We soon moved on thro'a dense wood towards the field of battle.Before we merged from the woods thefiring ceased, and the hurras of our menahead, annouueed to us that the rebelshad retreated. Soon we entered an openfield, to the left of where the rebel bat-tery had been planted. They had re-treated, leaving one brass piece. A num-ber of dead lay near it, while the wound-ed were being carried ofi". We movedon, crossing a ravine where the rebel in-fantry had been stationed, entered an-other field, and halted within a shortdistance of the Virginia Central Railroad.The ground over which we passed andnear tho ravine, was covered with allkinds of rebel clothing, paper, envelopes,&c. While hero a number of rebel pris-oners were brought in. They were NorthCarolina volunteers.

    The order was once more given tomarch, and this brigade moved on to-wards Hanover Court House, over whichwas floating the rebel flag. A smallbody of rebels was ahead of us, but afew shells from our cannon sent them atpretty quick time towards the CourtHouse, and in 8 few moments afterwardsthe flag disappeared from the building.-—On reaching the railroad all of ourbrigade, with the exception of this regi-ment, filed oft' to the right of the road,and moved on towards the Court House.We followed up the road for a half mile,when we filed to the left and took a 0OUCS6for the Court House. W'r were formedinto line of battle, and line cm we went,over ditches, through swamps, and over

    their best. We were now ordered off tothe right, Company A was thrown out asskirmishers, and onward we went, throughfields of wheat, across plowed grounds,over fences and ditches, towards a woodwhere the firing was going on. We wereclosely followed by our regiment, and therest of the brigade fast followed in theirrcar. Now a shout was heard in the di-rection of the battle ground. I t was an-swered by our regiment, and on we rush-ed at a quicker pace. Soon we reacheda wicket fence, I scrambled to the top ofit, and looked over and saw that the rail-road ran along here, through a grade ofsome ten feet in depth, the banks ofwhich were almost perpendicular.-—Throwing my feet over the fence, andgrasping my musket firmly, I let go, downI went, landed all right, scrambled upthe opposite bank, over another wicketfence and hurried on. A swamp nowlay before, into it we went, and at the firststep found ourselves up to the waist inmud mid water. Wo pushed on and Itell you we were mighty glad when vrcfound ourselves once again on solidground. We were now fast nearing thebattle field, The smell of powdor wasvery strong, and the the woods were fullof smoke; but on still we went, and soonhalted on the battle field, on the grourdwhich had lately been occupjed by therebels. No enemy was to be seen, wehad oo;:i3 up exactly on their left, theyheard us coming, and cutting their knap-sacks loose; they left in a a hnrry, noieven so much as giving ua q enance ofpotting a fire at them. The ?3d Penn-sylvania camo on our right, and os therebels broke from the woods, salutedthem with a volley, when they made offin another direction, and entirely disap-peared. The battle was won. I'OKTKR'Sdivision had marched twenty miles,through mud and rain, with nothingto eat except a little hard bread, andhad fought and won two battles that day.

    Night was now upon us, and darknesssurrounded us as we marched book to thefirst battle field, where we made anddrank a hot cup of coffee, then threwourselves down upon our rubber blankets,our feet to a hot fire, our overcoatswrapped around us. and wore soon enjpy-ing a quiet sleep, from which we did notrise till late in tho morning.

    During the day a large number ofprisoners were taken, and fuey kept com-ing in on the next day, until the numberin our hands amounted to seven hundred.I believe some one hundred of their deadwore buried by our men. We also tooktwo pieces of artillery. Our loss in kiil-cd and missing was about three hundred.The regiments that lost the largestnumber in these battles were the 44thand 25th N. Y. The prisoners weremostly North Carolinians, and nearlyall of them told the same story, that theywere compelled to enlist and fight iu theConfederate cause, and nearly all wishedthemselves at home again.

    The following song was picked up ontho battle field. Many who used to singit now lie under the cold sod of Hanoverbattle field :

    Michigan Sick and Wounded atington.

    In conformity with a resolution of th«S nate of Ju 'y 19, 18(51, the WWiingt(8pipers publish the totals if sick ai1(1wounded sold or* at the hospitals in anlabout Washington, May 30, The fo|.lowing comprise those from Michigan ;

    Semi: ary Hospital, Georgetown,^.

    volunteered the information that heryoung mistress made it before she left inhe morning and gave instructions thatt was to be given to the rebel Gen.Branch, after he had whipped the Yan-sees. He tailed to whip them, and ofcourse failed to get the boufjuet.

    All the plantations around hero havearge fields of wheat upon them, and in

    a few days it will be ready to pass underthe hands of tho reaper.

    Wo lay on tlic battle field all dayWednesday, and late on Thursday, hav-ing accomplished our object, taken pos-session of the railroad, aud destroyedthe long railroad bridge across the SouthAnna creek, we turned our faces towards:iome.

    Just as we started, the Major madeiiis appearance, mounted on horseback,and with a large and beautiful bouquetattached to the pummel of his saddle,which was presented to him by a Mrs.Cater, formerly of Rochester, N. Y.,and who is a strong Unionist. The Ma-jor is a ladies' man, and carries off thepalm wherever he gees.

    We found the roads in a very poorcondition on our »vny to camp, and didnot reach it until three o'clock Fridaymorning,

    On tho afternoon of Friday I calledupon Capt. RANDOLPH, of the Michigan4th, and found that he had several tro-phies of the battle of Hanover. He hadappropriated to his use one of tho tentsof a Georgian regiment. He informedme that he also got a sceesh flag there,which he had sent to R. J . BAKKY ofyour place. Tho Ann Arbor boys oftho 4th are well.

    Friday evening we hat] ono of the:nrc'e»l thunder storms that I over saw.It seemed as if the entiie artillery of

    rth had been put into operation atcr.ee. One man in the 44th N Y. was

    by a stroke of lightning which en-tered his tent.

    On Saturday morning this regimentwas ordered out on picket duty. Thepos's that we guarded were along theChickahominy. On the opposite bankcould be seen the pickets of the rebels.At tho point wo were, there aro beingcieeted a nnniber of bridges. The pick-ets wero posted along the fiats adjoiningthe river; the ground is rather low, andthe guards were drowned out daring thenight, the wator from some cause orotliCi having raised and completely sub-

    :• rged the flats, and this morning theywere some three feet under water.

    Theic was a battle going on all dayyesterday, on the other side of the river,and it was renewed again thi3 morning.I have received no particulars, but hopewo have been victorious as usual.

    My health is good.J. P.

    The Kane Rifles numbered one hun-dred and twenty-five, and found them-selves opposed and flanked in thowoods by four regiments of infantryand cavalry, and before they could bewithdrawn suffered severely. Lieuten-ant Colonel Kane is severely woundednnd a prisoner.

    Captain Taylor was also woundediind captured. Captain W. H.Blanch-ard was wounded severely. Lieuten-ant J. J. Sawyor is probably killed,
