k's division to Glendale ( Nelson's farm ). Gen. McCall's division (Pennsylvania reserves) was haltfront of the infantry line. The country in Gen. McCall's front was an open field, intersected towa's left to connect with Gen. Slocum's left; Gen. McCall's position was to the left of the Long bridarny's left; Gen. Hooker was on the left of Gen. McCall. Between twelve and one o'clock the enemy ions of Longstreet and A. P. Hill, attacked Gen. McCall, whose division, after severe fighting, was compelled to retire. Gen. McCall, in his report of the battle, says: About half-past 2 my pzelman states that about five o'clock P. M. Gen. McCall's division was attacked in large force, evir. Gen. Sumner, who was with Gen. Sedgwick in McCall's rear, also greatly aided with his artillery and half of the 37th N. Y. Volunteers. Gen.

have had a terrible time. On Wednesday the serious work commenced. I commenced driving the enemy on our left, and, by hard fighting, gained my point. Before that affair was over I received news that Jackson was probably about to attack my right. I galloped back to camp, took a fresh horse, and went over to Porter's camp, where I remained all night making the best arrangements I could, and returned about daybreak to look out for the left. On Thursday afternoon Jackson began his attack on McCall, who was supported by Porter. Jackson being repulsed, I went over there in the afternoon and remained until two or three A. M. I was satisfied that Jackson would have force enough next morning to turn Porter's right, so I removed all the wagons, heavy guns, etc., during the night, and caused Porter to fall back to a point nearer the force on the other side of the Chickahominy. This was most handsomely effected, all our material being saved. The next day Porter was attacked in his new posi

ened by killed, wounded, and prisoners. I cannot now approximate to any statement of our losses, but we were not beaten in any conflict. The enemy were unable, by their utmost efforts, to drive us from any field. Never did such a change of base, involving a retrograde movement, and under incessant attacks from a most determined and vastly more numerous foe, partake so little of disorder. We have lost no guns except 25 on the field of battle, 21 of which were lost by the giving way of McCall's division under the onset of superior numbers. Our communications by the James river are not secure. There are points where the enemy can establish themselves with cannon or musketry and command the river, and where it is not certain that our gunboats can drive them out. In case of this, or in case our front is broken, I will still make every effort to preserve at least the personnel of the army; and the events of the last few days leave no question that the troops will do all that thei
