ir honor as any that ever fought the battles of their country. And their affection for and confidence in the man that did them this wrong are gone forever. Let justice be done to us, and then give us more men to fill up our skeleton regiments, and try us in the advance again; or else let justice be done and the whole brigade mustered out of the service, which since this disgrace, has no charm for it.

During last week and the early part of the present, we were frequently annoyed by scouting parties of the rebels, who came within a short distance of the town and continually threatened it. Indeed, so likely appeared an attack, (and no doubt our weak position here at the time invited it,) that reinforcements were sent for, while every preparation was made to resist any inroad which the prowling bands might make. On Thursday morning a reconnoissance in force started from here, under
the rebel gunboat Van Dorn would not have escaped, and my flag-ship would not have been disabled. Three of the rebel rams and gunboats, which were struck by my two rams, sunk outright, and were lost. Another, called the General Price, was but slightly injured, and I am now raising her and purpose to send her to my fleet. Respectfully, (Signed) Chas. Ellett, Jr., Colonel Commanding Ram-Fleet. Captain Phelps's letter. United States flag steamer Benton, Memphis, Tenn., June 7, 1862. To his Excellency David Tod, Governor of Ohio: sir: I have sent to you for presentation to my native State, the flag which was flying from the peak of the rebel gunboat and ram, the Gen. Bragg, when captured in the naval action off this city yesterday morning. The Gen. Bragg is one of the rebel steamers saved, and is now being prepared for the use of the Government as a war vessel. Of the eight vessels of the enemy in this action, but one escaped; three lie buried in the depths

Headquarters, army in the field, Harrisonburgh, Saturday, June 7, 1862, 9 o'clock P. M. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War: The attack upon the enemy's rear of yesterday, precipitated his retreat. Their loss in killed and wounded was very severe. Their retreat is almost by an impassable road, along o-day, about seven miles on the Port Republic road, and discovered a portion of the enemy's forces encamped in the timber. J. C. Fremont, Major-General Commanding. New-York Tribune account. Fremont's headquarters, Harrisonburgh, Va., June 7, 1862. The march from Newmarket, yesterday, was without opposition, until the advance — guard reached Harrisonburgh. Rebel cavalry showed themselves occasionally in front, but not in large numbers. They were drawn up in line some miles before H
Doc. 65.-execution of W. B. Mumford. New-Orleans, June 7, 1862. Early yesterday morning it was announced that William B. Mumford, a man sentenced to death for tearing down the United States flag, hoisted on the Mint by Commodore Farragut upon the occupation of the city by the Union forces, would expiate his offence on the gallows. Crowds were soon wending their way toward the Mint, where all doubts were dispelled by the ghastly spectacle of a gallows projecting from a window in the second story of that building, fronting on Esplanade street, directly under, as it were, the flag-staff that had borne the colors in question. In the mean time the unfortunate man was awaiting his fate in the Custom-House. On the evening of the fifth instant, three days ago, the order of execution was read to him by Deputy Provost-Marshal Stafford, he being charged with carrying into effect the details of the sentence in consequence of the illness of Provost-Marshal French.

Marcy, Chief of Staff, Army of the Potomac, New-Bridge: General: I have the honor to report the operations of the Third and Fourth army corps, under my command during the engagements of the thirty-first of May and first of June. On the twenty-fifth of May, Gen. Keyes's corps was placed under my command. He was directed to advance to the Seven Pines, on the Williamsburgh stage-road, about seven miles from the city of Richmond. My corps was ordered to cross the Chickahominy at Bottom's Bridge and occupy the position, two miles in advance of it, marked A and B on the accompanying map, and to watch the crossings of the White Oak swamp, with the woods beyond covering our left flank and rear. On that day I crossed the river and occupied the positions indicated. Gen. Keyes's corps advanced. The next day
