ined at all hazards to maintain their freedom." A copy of the enrollment was also demanded of the enrolling officer, which was refused, and the meeting adjourned. Out of the fifty-four men from Nantucket and the Vineyard who have presented themselves to the Board in New Bedford, fifty one have received exemption papers, two have paid $300, and one has passed. The fight with the Yankee Cavalry at Brandy Station. The fight at Brandy Station on the 1st inst. was participated in by Perry's Florida brigade, which drove the Yankee cavalry in front of them with a loss to themselves of thirty killed and wounded. A correspondent of the Petersburg Express, writing from the 12th Va. regiment, gives an account of the share that regiment took in the fight. He says: The exigency was so great that although it was not the turn of our regiment to do the skirmishing, we had to be thrown in being in advance, and we scattered ourselves along the edge of a thick, tangled wood, through

The United States and Japan. --War has broken out between Yankee Doodle and Japan. We were prepared for it, by a review which we read a few weeks ago of a narrative of his sojourn at Jeddo, written by the English Ambassador there, who said that the authorities had ordered all foreigners to quit the island, and had murdered many of them. The same writer says that the potentate who signed the treaty with Commodore Perry was put to death, and that the aristocracy, who much resemble the barons of the fundal system in the middle ages of Europe, both with respect to the independence of their power and their relations to the crown, had all determined that none of the treaties made with the powers of Christendom should be carried into effect. Of course France, England, and Russia, as well as Yankee Doodle, will be down upon the unfortunate Asiatics, and we shall see a repetition of the crimes which made India an Aceldama and deluged China with blood. This is the hardest case tha

Wilcox's men engaged the Yankees, and after a sharp fight drove them off, and occupied the ground from which the Yankees had just been driven. This brigade, with Perry and Wilcox, were formed on the right of Hill's corps, and the left of Longstreet's being joined on to Barksdale's brigade, of McLaws's division. --After the sport begun on the right and gradually extended around to the left. After Barksdale's brigade, of McLaws's division, had been engaged for some time, Wilcox, Wright and Perry, were ordered forward, encountering a line of the enemy, and soon putting them to rout. Still pressing forward these three brigades met with another and stronger of battle was thrown forward by the enemy, but after an obstinate fight was repulsed. And now the condition of our troops became critical in the extreme. Wilcox, Perry and Wright had charged most gallantly over a distance of more than three quarters of a mile, breaking two or three of the enemy's lines of battles and capturing tw

Love Undiminished by Amputation. --The following is an old story, but has the merit of being true as well as apropos to the times: Commodore Barelay, who fought the battle of Lake Erie against Perry, was engaged to be married to a fine English girl. At Trafalgar, with Nelson, he had lost an arm. At Lake Erie he lost a leg. On returning to England, feeling his condition very acutely, he sent a friend to his betrothed to tell her that, under the circumstances in which he found himself, he considered her released from all engagements to him. The lady heard the message, then said to the friend: "Edward thinks I may wish our engagement to be broken because of his misfortunes, does he? Tell him that if he only brings back to England body enough to hold the soul he carried away with him, I'll marry him."

them in same instances the lumber of their tenements. As they had taken the oath of allegiance with the expectation that the army would remain, their being forced to leave their comfortable homes was a great hard ship. Gens. McClernand and Dana did all they could to relieve them, as did also Capts. Corsuch and McComas. The troops under Gen. Fitz Henry Warren took the land route, crossing the bayous by pontoon ferries. In doing so twenty-two men and two officers of the 69th Indiana, Lieut. Col. Perry, commanding, two men of the 7th Michigan battery, and eight of the 2d Engineer, (Corps d' Afrique,) in all thirty four men and two horses, were drowned by the swamping of the boats. The writer states that Gen. McClernand has gone down the coast to make a visit to Aransa Pass and Brownsville. There was also later news from Mexico by the schooner Luther Childs, which left Matamoras on the evening of the 13th. From it we learn the following: The French fleet heretofore re

York River Railroad. It was reported last evening that they had got as far as Dispatch Station, thirteen miles from Richmond. [from our own correspondent.] Army of Northern Virginia.Near Mechanicville, June 2, 4 P. M. 1864. No general engagement yet, and in my coronion none is likely to occur very soon. Yesterday there was sharp and irregular skirmishing at points all along the lines. About three o'clock Breckinridge flanked a line of the enemy's skirmishers, with the aid of Perry's Florida brigade, capturing about one hundred prisoners. About nightfall the enemy charged Hoke's lines near Gaines's Mill, forcing back Clingman's N. C. brigade, and gaining possession for a while of a good piece of our breastworks. Col. Colquitt's Georgia brigade, however, soon came to the rescue of Clingman, and succeeded in repulsing the enemy and capturing some fifty prisoners. The force which Hoke thus engaged were the 1st, 2d and 3d divisions of the sixth cores. The enemy

removing sills. They fled precipitately upon the appearance of our forces; but it was soon ascertained that there was a heavy body of infantry in the woods east of the track, massed for the purpose of supporting the cavalry. Another flank movement. General Mahone threw forward a heavy line of skirmishers, engaged the attention of the blue coats, and then put into execution one of those flanking movements for which he has become somewhat noted during this campaign. About twilight, Perry's brigade, now commanded by General Finnegan, succeeded in swinging around and brought up in rear of the enemy. A volley or two in their rear put the enemy to thinking, and another volley or two brought about a very lively double quick on their part. We succeeded in securing only 483 of the invaders, the remainder running so swiftly that it was found impossible to overtake them. Arrival of the prisoners. The prisoners were marched into the city yesterday forenoon, about 10 o'clock
