and it was said that there had been much mismanagement somewhere It seems but a small force had been left to guard it, and that the defence had been committed to a subordinate (a Colonel, I was told,) who knew nothing of the ground, and that Gen. McClellan having massed his large force there, our men were badly cut up, and but for Longstreet's arrival, would have been terribly handled. I was also informed that the army would fall back towards the Potomac that night; that Generals Jackson and Mindeed, out of range, opened with great effect, enfilading both our batteries and the whole line of infantry. They got the range with the first shot, and kept it for two hours. But for this cross fire the fight would not have lasted two hours. McClellan, it seems, had compelled us to fight him where he could rake our whole line, and had thrown such a heavy force just at that point that it could not well be resisted; so that, after four hours fighting, we fell back about 600 or 800 yards.

back and one the side of his head. Gen. McClellan's official estimate (10,000) of our loss wilidge at three miles distance in the south. McClellan day, and foremost his plan of fashion leftted display of generalship, is creditable to McClellan. It must be obvious, however, to every inte mass across the river. The dispatch of General McClellan, which announces this result, closes witons, contrasts strangely with the marches of McClellan; and when we behold Jackson crossing and recakes in the matter are not entirely those of McClellan. Malleck could have ordered him what main course to pursue (if McClellan be not already superior even to his control) and Halleck should have the Potomac, in case he eluded the forces of McClellan.--His neglect to do so, while he had ample fy, had something to do with it. The pause of McClellan's army on the Potomac helped it along. The to Winchester but marched around and fought McClellan. Gen. Hill apologized to Col. Ford for comp[5 more...]

are left to conjecture. Other writers represent the wounded of Gen. Lee's army as having all fallen into the hands of McClellan. These monstrous lies cannot impose even upon the Yankees, who love to be deceived almost as well as they love to but the most unqualified derision. If we have been thus badly beaten, why is no use made of the victory? Why has not McClellan crossed the river and destroyed the army of Gen. Lee? Why has the latter been allowed to refresh and recruit at his leictory. If only as many as five thousand of the stragglers who left their colors and lingered behind had been present, McClellan's rout would have been irremediable. But they were not in place, and the consequence was that Gen. Lee could not follow up his victory. He, however, remained on the field of battle all day Thursday, and refused a flag of truce from McClellan, which came with a request to be allowed to bury his dead. Gen. Lee had ample time to remove his wounded, and he did remove

Released at last. --Miss Susan Archer Talley, the poetess, who, in McClellan's march upon Yorktown in April last, was taken prisoner by the Yankees, has just arrived in this city from Norfolk. Miss T.'s experience while in the hands of the enemy is certainly creditable to them. She was taken by Gen. Davidson, (of Fairfax county, Va.,) by order of Gen. Keyes, and by them treated with great courtesy, they assuring her that she was in the hands and under the protection of gentlemen, and shidson accompanied her to Newport News, where Gen. Mansfield and his staff, who were personally acquainted with Miss T., exerted themselves to procure her release; but it being known that she was in possession of important information concerning McClellan's army, it was considered necessary to detain her.--She was accordingly sent to Fort McHenry, and placed under charge of Gen. Morris, an old friend of her family, and of whose kindness and indulgence to her we have before received accounts, bot
