sed up with fearful determination, column after column of fresh troops, and the courage of the whole army was at its best. The line of the enemy's attack was concentrating, and Gen. Porter rode in front of the army, ordering the two wings of Morrell and Sykes and Couch to concentrate, and withdrawing Meagher placed him in a position on the left to flank the approaching columns, with orders to charge at advantageous opportunities, and giving the same orders to Butterfield's brigade, of MorreMorrell's division, and Col. Warren, of Gen. Sykes's, and to General Abercrombie, in Gen. Couch's. At this moment Gen. Sickles's brigade came up, proffered by Gen. Heintzelman, and was received by Gen. Porter, and conducted to a point a little neglected. The engagement now became a scene of madness — a force of thirty thousand contending against fully three times their own number, plunging in with rapid charges and deafening shouts, and successfully driving them from the field.

ced, it was with a desperate attempt to turn the flank. Gen. Couch's division had seen less service, perhaps, than any other, and was fully prepared to receive them, and the men were impatient to get into action. They were gallantly led by Gens. Howe, Abercrombie, and Palmer, and held their own without a moment's flinching, until, when the day seemed to waver, they gave a new impetus to the fight, which seemed to extend along the whole line in a contest which lasted over an hour, when he drr any circuitous, had been searched out by questioning prisoners and by cavalry excursions. Every one was filled by one of the advancing columns. The whole front was in motion by 7 P. M., Gen. Reyes in command of the advance. I rode with Gen. Howe's brigade, of Couch division, taking a wagon tractor through dense woods and precipitous ravines, far around to the left, and straight distance below Turkey Island. Commencing at case, the march continued until daylight. The night was dark

The following letter, dated Newbern, N. C., July 2d, is published in the Philadelphia Press: Burnside's entire corps d'armee is in motion, bound inland somewhere. Your readers will be surprised to hear that three divisions are now in motion from this place, and more to come. You will hear good news from Burnside, Parke, Foster, and Reno very soon. The troops are overjoyed to think that they are about to follow our gallant Burnside into a victorious field once more. Gen. Marcy's estimate of M'Clellan's loss in the recent battles.[correspondence of the New York Tribune.] I understand that Gen. Marcy, Chief of McClellan's staff, estimates the entire loss of McClellan's army at $30,000. A Federal wagon train was attacked by a small hand of Confederate guerrillas, near Flint Hill, Va, on Monday.

t out to gather in the wounded and bury the dead, and judging from the appearance of the field, nearly the whole army was out recognizing friends and members of their companies killed and wounded, and bringing them off. The Union and rebel soldiers mingled promiscuously in the search and separation of those of either side, hardly noticing that a few minutes before they had been opposed to each other in deadly combat. All the wagons, guns, and the immense singe train, were safely removed to Harrison's Bar by Wednesday noon, and the army was set at work to recruit and reorganize. Incidents. Major Barnum, of the Twelfth New York, was mortally wounded, and while lying breathing his last, a friend asked him if he had any message, to which he replied. "Tell my wife that in my last thoughts were blended my wife, my boy and my flag." He asked of the physician how the battle went, and when told that it was favorable to us, he said, "God bless the old flag" and expired with the prayer

ing, with frequent balts, as some one of the hundred vehicles of the artillery train, in our centre, by a slight deviation crashed against a tree, wore away the hours to dawn, when we debouched into a magnificent wheat field, and the smoke-stack of the Galena was in sight. Xenophon's remnant of the ten thousand, shouting "The sea! the sea!" were not more glad than we. Porter's entire train was brought over the Chickahominy before the battle of Friday, hence nothing was lost there. At Savage's when that place was abandoned, 1,700 cubic feet of ammunition, and enormous heaps of quartermasters' and sutlers' stores, officers' baggage and soldiers' knapsacks, were destroyed, and at every halting place since, the fagot has been busy with whatever could be transported no further. I can form no estimate of the entire value, but it is immense. One thing is certain, but little has fallen into the enemy's hands. I close to ride back to the rear — now our front. Summing up.

Dr. Plumer himself was present, and defended his position in a powerful address. He was replied to by Drs. McLaren, Dale, and others, some of whom were very severe upon him for his want of sympathy with the Union cause. Dr. McLaren, particularly, handled him with great severity.

Were slowly and reluctantly developed in the correspondence with the memorialists. He defended the great majority of the clergy who do pray for the success of our arms, and dwelt forcibly on the righteousness of the present war. He again dwelt on the subject of "preaching polities," as that thing is generally spoken of, among a certain class of politicians, with withering sarcasm. He said it should not take two minutes for a man to define his loyalty or patriotism, if he has any. after a lengthy discussion the Presbytery adopted th
