It was necessary, however, to make some stand, or every man in the rebel army would be killed or captured then and there; and after a while he showed something of his ancient energy. Gordon was ordered, if possible, to force back Parke; Hill, Mahone, and Lee himself exerted themselves to stem the tide of flight and chase; the fragments of regiments were gathered up to man the yet uncaptured forts; and Longstreet was brought from the north side of the James. At forty minutes past ten, the rews to Richmond: I see no prospect, he said, of doing more than holding our position here till night. I am not certain that I can do that. Grant had early detected the movement of Longstreet. At 10.45 A. M., he said to Weitzel: One brigade of Mahone's division is here, and no doubt more will be here soon. Keep in a condition to assault when ordered, or when you may feel the right time has come. At 12.50 P. M., he telegraphed to the same commander: Rebel troops are pouring over the Appomatt

es of the latitude which McClellan usually allowed them in the interpretation of his orders, made no movement with their troops. They thus suffered victory to escape them, and their vacillations saved the Confederate army from imminent disaster. Indeed, it has been asserted by eye-witnesses that its retreat was not made without disorder, and that if the Federals had pressed with a sufficient force, even without artillery, the three brigades of Huger's corps, which, under Pickett, Pryor and Mahone, were defending every inch of ground, they might probably have been able to enter Richmond with then. The combat of the 1st of June, in which but a few thousand men were engaged on either side, had notwithstanding the proportions of a great battle. On the left it was marked by a brilliant charge of Sickles' brigade along the railway track; on the right by a sharp encounter between an Irish brigade in the Federal service, commanded by General Meagher, and Pickett's troops.

ing an interchange of various articles of commerce, giving us needful supplies and sending hence articles wanted elsewhere — but who does not know the immense advantage of this important line of internal communication? We should award all due importance to that well managed and well known line, the Seaboard and Roanoke Road, extending hence into the old North State, and giving us a connection with various important chains of land travel and transportation Southward and Southwestward. To Col. Mahone, of the Norfolk and Petersburg Road, and Mr. Superintendent Robinson, of the Seaboard, and other officers connected with these lines of travel, the people are greatly indebted, at this war crisis especially, for the able manner in which they discharge their important and responsible duties. They who years ago urged the commencement and prosecution of these great public works, against powerful opposition, are entitled to the gratitude of the fortunate beneficiaries thereof, especially at
t yet ascertained anything definitely about the firing on Tuesday and Wednesday in the direction of Newport News.--There are various reports about a fight on the Peninsula, and it is said by a reliable person that one hundred guns were distinctly heard yesterday on the Bay shore, the sound coming apparently across the Roads. From the direction of Magruder's batteries much has been said too, of a probable attack on Pig Point; but I regard these rumors as entirely with-out foundation. Col. Mahone, the President of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad, states in the Norfolk Day Book, of to-day, that the existing delay in the mails for Richmond is a matter in which the said road has had no agency, and that the correction of the evil is beyond its control — that the Post-Office Department have created the break in the mail connection, which now causes the detention of the mails hence for Richmond, &c., a night in Petersburg. If the P. O. Department will change the time of departure o
ned the shock of the enemy's attack up to near 11 o'clock, when Mancue came on the field. Picket's brigades (the 3d of Longstreet's division,) composed of the 18th, 19th, and 28th Virginia regiments, was early in the fight of Saturday, and did some excellent fighting. We shall be glad to give the acts of this brigade in detail as soon as they can be obtained. A few facts already given us are reserved until more can be obtained — suffice it to say, the brigade has an honorable record. Mahone's brigade came on the field late in the morning. It was ordered to proceed to a line of woods and take position. They fell into an ambuscade while marching in column, and sustained a galling fire. Hastily throwing them into line, the enemy were pursued and driven beyond the field. One regiment alone, the 2d Alabama, lost one hundred and ninety-six in killed and wounded. We shall publish a full list of the casualties to-morrow. The following is a list of the killed and wounded in th
