progressing; but we are driving them. Night. We have possession of the camp — the enemy's camp. The place is seven miles from Richmond. General Lee is ordered to take General Johnston's place. The fight may be renewed to-morrow. June 1, 1862. The loss yesterday comparatively small. General Johnston had managed his command with great success and ability until he received his wound.

June 1st, 1862. We heard very heavy firing all day yesterday, and again to-day.

Dr. N. and Dr. T. have been accused by the Yankees of having informed our people of their meditated attack the other day. They were crossexamined on the subject, and of course denied it positively. They were threatened very harshly, the Yankees contending that there was no one else in the neighbourhood that could have done it. Poor little W. was not suspected at allthey little know what women and children can do.
