o was in the battle. The hill from which the enemy shelled our men is a most commanding one, and our troops had to go a mile under fire of twelve pieces before reaching position. The scene of the infantry fight abows how hard was the contest. The see are riddied, and many small ones cut all to pieces — The enemy admit a force engaged of 10,000. The people here carefully estimate there loss at 1,500 killed and wounded. By the way, I see that Banks reports that he retired last Sunday in good order ! I write this after a weary day. It has the one merit, at least, of being reliable. I could have written days ago, had I chose to write rumor. I could write more now did I choose to run the risk of writing what may not I cannot tell you where our army is now; but I follow them tomorrow and when anything turns up again; and no harm can be done by a communication, you may hear from me again.

e, with a peculiar sense of relief that I started down, feeling that the coast was clear to this place, and perhaps are very long to Baltimore itself. At Mount Crawford we find the first sign of the enemy in the two burnt bridges over the river. Our first thought was, what a pity to destroy such substantial bridges, when theidges burnt on the road, that, besides their destruction being a military necessity, it saved, by the detention of the enemy, more than would rebuild them. At Mt. Crawford we talked with an influential gentleman, who, while he had no power to keep the Yankees from taking his corn talked very plainly to them. He said, "gentlemen,asked for, either as free gift or for their abominable scrip — worth not one mill — they would go and steal anything they, could lay their hands on. From Mount Crawford to New Market there are no special signs of an enemy, save that grain and all provisions are gone, and here and there a force is burnt. But after passing the

From Middletown to Winchester are dozens of dead horses, many of which were killed during the running fight of Saturday P. M. and Sunday morning. I read many letters to Yankee soldiers from friends at home. None are fit to send you. --The only one not stupid was too foul to be read, and shows a bad state of morals at Morris, ill. One letter was from a girl, and said "This is the devilishness pen." Another from a girl apologizes for being the second without an answer, and hopes the writer will not be thought "unladylike." Another says, "Bill we have received your picture, and you do look Bully" Another says, "We do not miss you except at meals," Another childs a son for sending only $26 home, and asks "What have you done with the rest ?

From the Valley. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Winchester, May 30, 1862. You can imagine the joy with which the people of Staunton received the news last Monday, of the glorious achievement of "Old Stonewall," in driving the Yankees from this part of the Valley. You can hear them specially the refugees from this section, laughing, and to each other a cross the street, and see them shaking hands at every street corner. As the facts were immediately telegraphed to Richmond, and, see more authentic details were to be had, I deferred writing you till I should get nearer the scene of action. On Tuesday morning, I was one of many on the road for this place. The essay 1st, Rogers, tells of a women in a German town, who had lived to a good old age without going out of her native town — The king hearing of the case, and thinking it told finely for the contentment and happiness, of his people, made an edict this woman should not leave her native town.

or some time, when finally they fled through the streets, our men pursuing, with Jackson at their head. The citizens say that the rout was perfect and that the enemy's cavalry fled disgracefully, pursued by numbers smaller than their own. Unlike Jackson, Banks kept a long way from the flashing of the guns. On both sides, this entire affair was comparatively bloodless. Our loss, in killed and wounded, did not exceed forty. Col.

and here and there a force is burnt. But after passing the latter place the desolations begin. For miles we travel, seeing cely a line or cross fence, and clover and wheat fields trodden down and exposed to utter destruction. We need not to hear the women and children, and even the servants, in order to see what a foe has been through the land. Where forests abound fences have been burned, even yard fences and gates; stone walls have been wantonly pulled down. The Yanks seem to bate Stonewall. Here is a deserted house and there the smouldering ashes of one they have burned. At Strasburg we saw the fortifications of the enemy, on a commanding hill and elaborately finished. Here it was supposed, of course, they would make a stand. How different was the result. All last week an impression prevailed along the entire line of the enemy that Jackson would be upon them very soon, and they commenced to fall back, probably to stand at this place.
