e of the horses from his pieces,) galloped forward, and hitching on to the force captured guns and four caissons brought them off in the face of the enemy, and gallantly offered them to Capt. Meanly as the trophies gained by the flue service of his pieces. Thus, in forty minutes our glorious fellows had marched nearly two miles, captured three pieces, four caissons, twelve horses, and seven prisoners. The killed and wounded of the enemy could not have been short of one hundred men. Gen. Johnston was present during the fight, and appeared to enjoy it exceedingly. When the rear guard was ordered to "about face," such a cheer went up from then, as the good folks of Williamsburg will long remember. It is absurd to talk of whipping men who, after marching eighteen hours without rest or food, and heavily packed, will, at a chance of a fight, crop their knapsacks and with a soul-stirring cheer, seize their muskets and run a race for nearly two miles to meet the enemy.

enemy can only be conjectured, though it was unquestionably much heavier than ours. We are indebted to a gentleman who participated in the fight on Sunday, near Williamsburg, for the following narrative. Sunday's engagement The greater part of the forces falling back from the "Yorktown Line" of defence having nailed for rest, in the open ground back of Williamsburg, gave the Yankee advance an opportunity of coming up with the rear guard, consisting of Gen. Sims's Georgia and Gen. Griffin's Mississippi brigades, to which was attached Manly's North Carolina battery. The enemy did not appear in any force from under their cover of woods until one rear guard had either open ground and re and were marching through Williamsburg at which time a courier brought word to Gen. McLaws that they were deploying in force to the right an left of Fort McGruder (which our forces had just left ) and that they had planted a battery of rifled guns immediately to the front of the redoubt, and

Longstreet (search for this): article 1
is furnished to the Dispatch by a gentleman who took part in the engagement on Monday, the 8th inst. Friday night, May 2d, General A. P. Hill's brigade, of Longstreet's division, left the trenches at Wynne's Mill, in Warwick county, and returned to their place of bivouac, about two miles further North, int he direction of Lebs to the enemy. Here they remained until two o'clock on Sunday morning, when the line of march was again resumed for Williamsburg, where the greater portion of Longstreet's command arrived about meridian, and bivouacked in a field half a mile northwest of the town. That evening a skirmish with the enemy, in which a portion of Stthat lay around — It would be difficult to mention the performance of any regiment without making an invidious distinction. All behaved most gallantly. All of Longstreet's division, a portion of Stuart's cavalry and six pieces of artillery, stationed in the redoubts, are all that are known by the writer as engaged in the fight.

Early was not mortally wounded; his injuries are severe, but it is believed he will soon recover and be able to take the field again, Col. Williams, of the First Virginia, received a very severe wound, and is now in the hands of the enemy. Major Palmer, of the same regiment, who was reported killed, received only a slight wound in the arm, and remained on the field until the close of the engagement. Neither Col. Kemper nor Col. Corse, both of whom were reported wounded, received any injury, th

in to the hands of the enemy — a fact greatly to be cer had unavailable under the circumstances. The scenes of parting were painful in the extreme. Lieutenant Colonel York of the Fourteenth Louisiana regiment. This gallant and chivalrous Louisianian was severely wounded in the engagement at Williamsburg on Monday last, aommander, though quite sick, he says he justified his fitness for his position in the inspiration of his men, his coolness, and fearless exposure of person. Col. York expresses much feeling and regret for the death of Lieut. Col. Erby, of the 8th Alabama. This gallant man was killed at the head of his regiment leading a chargchivalry of the soldiery of that noble State. Of Brigadier-General Roger A. Pryor, who commanded the brigade of which the 14th Louisiana regiment is a part, Col. York speaks in terms of great commendation; says that his action upon the field has demonstrated the wisdom and sagacity which prompted his appointment, not only for

Corse, both of whom were reported wounded, received any injury, though they exposed themselves in a daring manner through out the day. The rumor that General Anderson was killed probably arose from the death of his brother, who fell in the battle. The General was not injured. We hear that the loss on our side,
