which was then going on, at the same time offering me Major-General Anderson's division. The Commanding General soon joined me, and, a few minutes after, Major-General Anderson arrived with his division. The attack was led by Hood's brigades, closely supported by Evans. These were rapidly reinforced by Anderson's division from, the rear, Kemper's three brigades and D. R. Jones' division from the right, and Wilcox's brigade from the left. The brigades of Brigadier-Generals Featherston and Prior became detached, and operated with a portion of General Jackson's command. The attacking columns moved steadily forward, driving the enemy from his' different positions as rapidly as he took them. The claims here made are exorbitant enough in all conscience, but there is a little room left for a suspicion that Jackson's men had something to do with the repulse of the enemy from their front, and that it was not all the work of Longstreet's two batteries, and that they also took some part

s battery and one of Gen. A. P. Hill's batteries, a steady fire was continued, while our infantry held their position about three hundred yards from the enemy's batteries, until half-past 9 o'clock P. M., when the enemy's batteries ceased firing. At ten o'clock P. M. our batteries ceased also. During the night, at about twelve o'clock, the enemy abandoned some of his batteries, burning platforms, etc. Storming of Gaines's Mill. Early the next morning, being Friday, Generals Gregg and Prior, of Longstreet's corps, turned the enemy's left flank, and carried, with the bayonet, what guns still remained in their batteries, in the front and to the right of Mechanicsville. It was said by many that this was the proper movement to have been made on the evening previous, and blame is attached to the order given to storm the work in front with an entirely inadequate force. In the mean time the grand advance en echelon again began. The troops of D. H. Hill, having all joined their pr

considered in Massachusetts Southern fooleries; but, in the vital, hose hold virtues, which are essential to the purity and happiness of society, Massachusetts can bear no comparison with South Carolina.--And so of other Southern States. We well recollect that, when, at the instance of a Northern correspondent, in the canvass between Fremont, Fillmore and Buchanan, we examined the Virginia records to ascertain whether a divorce had ever been obtained between Mrs. Fremont and her husband, Mr. Prior, we were struck with the rarity of such cases in Virginia history. Can Massachusetts say as much? or any New England State?--We do not impeach the general purity of the sex in that or any other portion of the country, for the majority of women in every land are better and purer than man; but we maintain that there does not exist elsewhere, and has not in modern times, whether in the Old World or the New, as high morality as characterizes the Southern States.

Register gives some particulars about the state of affairs in Knoxville, which are particularly interesting just now: From Knoxville I hear direct that Colonel Prior still remains in jail, whilst Rev.
