Virginia State Convention, in a series of resolutions, declared itself unalterably opposed to any compromise with the rebels. --(Doc. 176.) The Helena (Arkansas) Shield, of this day, contains the following:--From the Hon. C. W. Adams of this county, who arrived at home a few days since from the northern part of this State, we learn that on last Monday week thirteen hundred Indian warriors--Southern allies — crossed the Arkansas River near Fort Smith, en route for McCulloch's camp. These Indians are armed with rifle, butcher knife, and tomahawk, and had their faces painted, one half red, and the other black. We also learn that a regiment of mounted Texans likewise crossed the Arkansas at or near Fort Smith, for the same destination. The narrative of Doctor Blaisdell, a physician lately resident in Macon, Ga., was published, in which he pronounced the whole story of Jeff. Davis having taken command in person at Manassas during the fight, a pure fiction.--Cincinnati Gazett

sent back by Johnston to support that rear-guard, for the pressure of the pursuers was greater than the hitherto tardy movements of McClellan had given reason to expect. These were fresh and strong, and Hooker was compelled to send the First Massachusetts. and Seventieth and Seventy-second New York (Excelsior Brigade), under Brigadier-general Grover, to the aid of Patterson. In the mean time the Eleventh Pennsylvania and Twenty-sixth Massachusetts had reached the Yorktown road, and Colonel Blaisdell, who led them, was directed to clear that way for the advance of the National forces, and form a connection with Heintzelman's corps. Hooker was sorely pressed. The Confederates were heavily massed in front of Patterson and his supports. At half-past 11 o'clock he sent a note to Heintzelman, asking immediate assistance. That officer was absent, and Hooker was obliged to fight on unaided. At one o'clock the l battle had assumed gigantic proportions, and Hooker's last regiments (S

The position was held by McLaws' division of Longstreet's corps. To General Birney's division of Hancock's corps was assigned the gloriously perilous task of carrying it. On the left was the brigade of Colonel Egan; on his right Pierce's brigade, and General Mott's brigade on the right of Pierce. The Fourth brigade (the Excelsior, commanded by Colonel Blaisdell, of the Eleventh Massachusetts), came up partly in rear, its left to the right of the redan. To cover the assault, three sections of artillery were put in position, and replied to the artillery fire of the enemy.

early member of the Medford Historical Society, but was more interested in the standing and development of Medford in the twentieth century than in the study of the ancient history of the town. Yet he was ever loyal and proud of his Pilgrim ancestors, and was true to their best traditions and principles. He married Abbie Leonard, who was a charter member of the Congregational Church of West Medford. After her death he married Miss Emma Fuller, daughter of George H. and Nancy Evelina (Blaisdell) Fuller of West Medford. She survives him and three children, viz.: Joseph Nelson Leonard, a member of this society, and Nathaniel Warren and Elizabeth Leonard.

Pattison, Marylander, who recently escaped from the rebel army in Virginia, was brought to the city to-day by Col. Blaisdell, of the Eleventh Massachusetts, Hooker's division, and a safe conduct granted him to return home. The oath of allegiance was administered to him by Col. Blaisdell, and he has furnished valuable information respecting the number and dispositiCol. Blaisdell, and he has furnished valuable information respecting the number and disposition of the enemy's forces on the Lower Potomac. He says that some thousands of Marylanders who went to Virginia are anxious to return. A delegation of citizens of Eastern Maryland waited upon Gen. Hooker recently to ask what would be done with those who should return, and he replied that they would be allowed to resume their positions as loyal citizens on taking the oath of allegiance.

e, consisting of the 5th Wisconsin volunteers, Col. Cool; 49th Pennsylvania, Col. Erwin; 434 New York, Col. Vinton; and 6th Maine, Colonel Burnham, were stationed on the right. General Brooks, with his Vermont troops, commanded the centre, while the left was commanded by General Hooker. The attack was first commenced on the extreme left by General Hooker, with his first brigade Gen Grover, consisting of the First Massachusetts regiment, Lieut. Col. Mills; Sixteenth Massachusetts, Col Blaisdell; Twenty-sixth Massachusetts, Col. Small, and Second New Hampshire, Col. Marston; but the firing soon became general along the whole line. The enemy fought with great bravery, and with a force equal to any that we had engaged. They threw a great force against the left, and succeeded in capturing a battery of five guns from Lieut. Bramhall, of the New York artillery; but they were retaken by our men. The heaviest loss that was sustained during the day was at this point. The New Jersey
