ght and maintaining our ground. Gen. A. P. Hill, in his report, states that when General Lee placed him in position he was not a moment too soon. The enemy had already advanced in three lines, had broken through D. R. Jones' division, captured McIntosh's battery, and were in full tide of success. With a yell of defiance Archer charged them, retook McIntosh's guns and drove them back pellmell. When General Lee recrossed the Potomac he left Brigadier-General Pendleton on the Virginia side wiMcIntosh's guns and drove them back pellmell. When General Lee recrossed the Potomac he left Brigadier-General Pendleton on the Virginia side with the reserve artillery and 600 infantry to guard the crossing. During the day Gen. Fitz John Porter of the Federal army, with his corps, appeared on the opposite side, and that night (the 19th) crossed several brigades over. After a short engagement Pendleton's infantry support gave way and four of his guns were captured. Orders were now sent to General Hill to return with his division and dislodge the enemy, who had taken position on the right bank of the river under cover of their artille

said: A whole community will assemble around the stricken widow of our general; and the mothers of the noble boys who fell by his side will mingle their tears with hers; words prophetic of a scene to be re-enacted in a few short weeks by the same community of people when intelligence of his own untimely death was received. Sunday, June 29th, Hill's division recrossed the Chickahominy, and on Monday, the 30th, it moved up by the cross made by the Long Bridge road and the Quaker road near Frayser's farm. Longstreet was warmly engaged when, Hill's division coming up, one after another of his brigade was sent forward whenever assistance was wanted. General Hill stated that on our extreme right, matters seemed to be going badly. Two brigades of Longstreet's division had been roughly handled and had fallen back. Archer was brought up and sent in, and, in his shirt-sleeves, leading his gallant brigade, affairs were soon restored in that quarter. At dark the enemy made a desperate pr

Colonel Fulton reported that he was cognizant of the facts, and General Johnson stated that as many prisoners were taken as he had men engaged in his brigade.
