ith the Fourth Michigan and Fourteenth New-York, had the principal position. The Sixty-second Pennsylvania took position on the extreme right, where the enemy appeared very strong. Weeden's Rhode Island battery, from position in rear of the woods, plied shell and solid shot with accuracy and effect. This was the earliest collision between our forces and the enemy. The action immediately began with vigor on the extreme right, held by Gen. Sykes's division, composed of Gen. Warner's, Col. Buchanan's and Col. Chapman's brigades. These brigades supported Weed's, Edward's and Tidball's batteries, all regulars. The enemy attacked very fiercely, charging repeatedly, but were as often repulsed. The enemy delayed their assault upon our left for some time, though Martindale's brave fellows, who were exceedingly well posted, gave them several very destructive volleys, which caused them to recoil with shattered columns up over the hill, down which they had advanced. A brilliant episod

rought back upon the line of the road as soon as we should have left the village. The artillery did so return at the signal of the inhabitants; but, though actively served, did us no harm. Surgeon Avery reports twenty of the enemy killed. Capts. Thornton and Farrington, and the officers and men of their respective commands, though nearly exhausted by the march, two miles of which was over an open trestle-work, in the heat of the day, behaved nobly in the fight. Captains Pickering and Winter, after a very rapid march, for which they are entitled to much credit, came up after we had left the village, covered our rear, and assisted in bringing in the wounded. Lieuts. Martin, Allen, and Finegass, and Commander Buchanan, United States Navy, who accompanied the expedition, rendered important services, and their gallantry during the action deserves special mention. I have the honor to be, General, very respectfully, your obedient servant, George C. Strong, Acting General.

e death of General Taylor succeeded to the office and served out the unexpired term. So during the existence of the Old South, John Adams, Van Buren, Pierce and Buchanan were the only Northern Presidents elected by the people. A remarkable thing is, that all the Southern Presidents were re-elected by the people, except Mr. Polk,e-President a man from the Old South. Thus, the first Adams had Jefferson, the second Adams had Calhoun, Van Buren had R. M. Johnson, Pierce had W. R. King, and Buchanan had Breckenridge. On the other hand, Jackson served one term as President with a Southern man, Calhoun, as Vice-President Harrison and his associate were both bH.
