cription of the field of battle and of the position of the Federal troops is given by General Ambrose R. Wright, to whose brigade of Georgians and Mahone's brigade of Virginians was assigned the duty of opening the engagement, as we will hereafter see. General Wright's very clear pen-picture is well worth perusal. Here is what he says: Immediately in our front, and extending one mile, stretched a field, at the farther extremity of which was situated the dwelling and farm buildings of Mr. Crew (formerly Dr. Mettert). In front and to our left the land rose gently from the edge of the woods up to the farm-yard, when it became high and rolling. Upon the right the field was broken by a series of ridges and valleys, which ran out at right angles to a line drawn from our position to that of the enemy, and all of which terminated upon our extreme right in a precipitous bluff, which dropped suddenly down upon a low, flat meadow, covered with wheat and intersected with a number of ditche

ody to another. The conditions of the order which I have read not having been fulfilled, some of the division generals wrote back for instructions, and received the reply to charge with a yell. I heard this order twice delivered to General Magruder as he was urging the commanders of his nine brigades to do all in their power to overcome the difficulties of the swamp and woods and press up to the batteries. As General Hill's troops had the shorter route to reach the open field in front of Crew's, they became engaged sooner than Magruder's. General G. B. Anderson began the attack, and in a short time was wounded and carried from the field. Then Gordon, Ripley, Garland and Colquitt charged with the yell. Battery after battery was in their hands for a few moments, only to be wrested from them by the enemy. Had the attack been simultaneous, success must have crowned their efforts. Armistead, immediately on Magruder's left, made a gallant charge an hour before, and the nine brigades

further this morning. Thomas G. Ellington, who professed great penitence, and said he had been in the army of the Northwest, was discharged upon his promising future good conduct. George W. Johnson was committed to jail for being drunk and disorderly in the streets. Wm. Forrester was fined $15, and required to give surety for his future good behavior, for selling ardent spirits to be drunk at his house where sold, without first having obtained a license to do so. Wm. McDonald, who appeared to have assisted the officers rather than obstructed them in the suppression of the riot of Friday, on 17th street, was discharged. Thompson and Sears were committed for being drunk and disorderly. Napoleon B. Devinney and a Mr. Crew, were brought up because it is not safe to allow them to go at large, they being not of sound mind. His Honor will dispose of them humanely. Zachariah Burnett, charged with assaulting and beating some unknown person, was discharged.

Broken up. --The barrack used for the accommodation of soldiers, kept in the brick house adjoining the Central Depot for the last twelve months, was broken up yesterday, and the articles used there transferred to the one on Franklin street. During the period mentioned above from fifteen to twenty thousand soldiers were provided with lodging and food prior to starting up the Central Road. The number of soldiers arriving in Richmond on the way to join their respective regiments is sometimes so great that the holding capacity of both Conrad & Crew's factory, (Soldiers' Home,) on Cary street, and the Franklin street barrack, is fully tested. No soldiers are sent up singly or in squads, by a new regulation, but are formed into companies prior to starting.

. Wheeler in Tennessee. The cavalry composing Gen. W.'s force were from Texas, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. It left Unionville on the 5th inst., and reached the Cumberland river on the 10th, about ten miles from Nashville, Here they laid in wait for the train on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which was to pass on the opposite side of the river. The correspondent says: The battery, commanded by Lieut. Arthur Pue, was admirably masked, and the advance regiments of Crew's brigade, being dismounted, were placed in ambush for the train from Louisville, So admirably was all this preparation executed that the sentinels on the opposite bank, who were passing the bank, who were passing the railroad bridge, and the Yankees occupying the stockade never discovered our presence. After waiting about 1½ hours, the freight train came rushing down. Lieut. Pue opens his battery upon them, the first shot disabling the engine and the others making it a wreck. In the meant

your reception of these valuable reports. I shall write regularly and send as opportunity occurs. The Yankee captives from the late battles The city bids fair soon to be inundated by the influx of Abolition prisoners taken at the battle of Chancellorsville. On Saturday evening several squads arrived, the first containing a number of officers, and the last over two thousand privates. They were received at the Libby prison, and eighteen hundred of them assigned quarters in Conrad & Crew's factory. When the prisoners marched through the streets at was remarked by every one that the proportion of American in the crowd was very small. A gentleman said, loud enough to be heard by the prisoners, that he did not believe there was one when an unmistakable Yankee voice was heard to proceed from the line, saying, "Yes, here's one," and, holding up his bare feet, he added, "and he ain't got no shoes either." There were in prison yesterday 38 citizen prisoners; 30 deserters from the

omantic and grand to the citizens of McMinnville, and more so to the astounded Yankees. Immense were the supplies obtained by the surrender — a quantity suffices to supply an army for months. Why this concentration of supplies remains to be developed; and such a collection of quartermasters' stores has seldom been seen anywhere as was hoarded up here, to which our boys helped themselves freely. From this point we moved in the direction of Murfreesboro'. Beyond Woodbury, Scott's and Crew's brigades were detached from their respective divisions to guard some ordnance trains to Fosterville, on the railroad. By dark on the evening of the 6th we rejoined Gen. Wheeler at Fosterville, he having destroyed the bridge south of Murfreesboro', as well as capturing the garrisons in the stockades, numbering 88 men. The railroad track between Murfreesboro' and Wartrace was torn up for several miles. Martin's division drove the enemy from Wartrace and destroyed the bridges; heavy infa
