was at this critical juncture injurious to the public interest. Mr. Mallory (Ky.) said no man condemned more than he did the letter of Gen. Hunter, and the system inaugurated by that General, of arming negroes. It was an outrage on humanity. He shrunk from it. The House ought to be forever ashamed of its conduct the other day, when Hunters letter was read; the demonstrations on the part of certain members appeared to be buffoonery, and was disgraceful to the American Congress. Mr. Riddle (Ohio) and Mr. Colfax (Ind.) called the gentleman to order. The Speaker reminded the gentleman that he was transcending the rules. Mr. Mallory asked pardon. He differed from his colleague (Mr. Wickliffe) as to the Secretary of War. He had abiding confidence in that officer, and that the conduct of Hunter would be repudiated for the following reason:--Two or three weeks ago he had business with the Secretary; when he was about leaving the Department the Secretary called him back
em something to eat; and, do not laugh, though I could not help smiling at the time, to see that other feet besides those in the old Key Stone could be swift to exchange bread and spreading for burnt houses.--Though, on honor, they did not get spreading, but bread and middling. However, I will not say, had spreading been demanded, it would not have been forthcoming." After referring to the different houses that were fired, the writer proceeds: "They broke into every store except Riddle's.--When they got to the tin shop they supplied themselves with horns, and rending the air with the most hideous noises, and with flaming torches they rushed on, terrifying and making wreathed every human being in the town. You think I have tried to exaggerate the scene; but, indeed, I am utterly unable to give anything like an idea of the reality, much less attempt exaggeration.

rom our own correspondent.] Army of Northerns Virginia, June, 13th, 5 P. M. Grant, after digging six heavy lines of entrenchnment on his old front, near Gaines's Mill, Suddenly abandoned them last night, moving again on our right. This morning about day he suddenly appeared at the Long Bridge on the Chickahominy, about eighteen miles below Richmond. Here his forces found a small picket of ours, which was readily driven in, and the enemy proceeded to cross. Our cavalry fell back to Riddle's shop, and the enemy pushing as there was a considerable fight until our men were forced to give back before the enemy's combined force of infantry, artillery, and cavalry. The enemy are also reported moving on the River road, as well as the Charles City read. Our scouts also say that Grant is landing troops and supplies from his gun boats near Malvern Hill, and it is supposed that he is in possession of those heights. This accords with the information previously received, and now co
the enemy's cavalry near Trevillian's, with heavy loss, capturing five hundred prisoners, besides the wounded. The enemy retreated in confusion, apparently, by the route he came, leaving his dead and wounded on the field. At daylight this morning, it was discovered that the army of Gen. Grant had left our front. Our skirmishers were advanced between one and two miles, but failing to discover the enemy, were withdrawn. A body of cavalry and some infantry, from long Bridge, advanced to Riddle's shop and were driven back this evening nearly two miles, after some sharp skirmishing. Respectfully, R. E. Lee, General. [from our own Correspondent] Army of Northern Virginia,June 14th 5 P. M. The enemy are still moving, it is supposed for the purpose of crossing the James river near City Point. The main body of their force is believed to be moving still on the north side of the Chickahominy. The force which they sent across the Chickahominy yesterday at Long Bridge, an
ly wounded and a prisoner. He has been sent to Fortress Monroe. Colonel Oates, of Georgia, (Fields's division,) and Lieutenant-Colonel Carmichael, of the Twenty-eighth Georgia regiment, were also badly wounded in Tuesday's battle. Lieutenant Lewis, of the Eighteenth North Carolina regiment, Lane's brigade, was killed. The enemy has possession of Newmarket or Jennings's Hill, at the intersection of the Newmarket and Long Bridge roads, and occupies a line of entrenchments extending from Riddle's shop to Willis's church, nearly parallel to the Quaker road. His right has been driven across White Oak swamp, which is a tributary of the Chickahominy. The Yankees have advanced up as far as the Drill room, on John Gathright's place at Newmarket. On Tuesday they burnt Cornelius Crew's house, on Malvern Hill. The location of the fight on Tuesday was near Russell's mill, between the Darbytown and Charles City roads. The enemy, in a furious charge, succeeded in breaking through Wrigh
r, to which each soldier respectfully touched his cap, and the whole guard passed silently on. Governor Randall here displayed the identical flag, which was greeted with great enthusiasm. He then contrasted this circumstance with the conduct of the rebels who had so basely fired on the flag.--so grossly trailed it in the dust. Want of voice here compelled the distinguished orator to close, upon which he was complimented with a salute of artillery and music by the band. Hon. Mr. Riddle, of Ohio, was the next speaker, and entertained the large auditory in a most effective and pleasing manner. Another salute, and music followed; and General Carrington introduced the Hon. Mr. Sparrow, of Illinois. General Carrington took occasion to vindicate himself against certain aspersions on his character in the beginning of the rebellion, and triumphantly referred to the President, Lieutenant-General Scott, and other officers, for the propriety and justice of his course.
