York papers, are graphic and bighly interesting, The first battle of the series, was . foughtat Mechanicsville, on the 25th of ‘June, and was continued ou the 26th, the Federals falling back to Gaines’ Mill, . where one of the most sanguinary engage. ments of the war occurred on F . 27th, On Friday night. orders were given for the retreat of the army to James river, . the main body crossing White Oak Swamp. . There was no general engagement on Sat. . urday, tbe most of the day being occupied . in starting the provision and ammunition trains for the new base of operations, and in providing, as far as was possible, for the . eick aud wounded. A correspondent thus describes the preparation for retreat: . It was generally understood at daylight . ) 00 Saturday also that the army was to . evacuate its line of eutrenchments. To do . this with the requisite precipitancy it was aaa eee One ee nner te tsetse ne neanes GUST 12, 1862 riday, the . bille was kept up during the . els getting decidedly the wors NUMBER 651. tillery, to which we responded from numerous batteries which had been placed along the bill-sides in cominanding positions. The day was a beautiful one, clear and cloudless, unless from the emoke of the . lncessant artillery fire; the position a fine one; AN Open country, with rolling ground . fringed by thick woods; the James river in . sight, and on its waters, cleared for action, . two gauboate, the Jacob Bell and Galena, ‘kindly auxiliaries, whose 100-pounders poured awful missiles of death into the . woods above the river, by whose sides reb. e] reinforcements were coming, iu heavy /Humbers, The fire of the artillery on the day, the rebt of it, They, beyond disparagement, fought nobly. We could see several of (heir batteries pushed out beyond the woods, and almost bear the the commands of their officers, Their infantry marched up in solid columns by brigades of ten to the support of the batteries, and would press forward in the face of galling Gres toward our artillery, determined to make trophies of our gaus, Maintaining their close columns, they pushed forward to receive first our shot and shell, aod then drawing nearer, to be mowed down by grape and canister. Facing this as long us the could, they would at length wheel around and march back again in good order, leaving the ground covered . hecassary to move ouly the most essential . baggage, and leave everything that was . . ponderous or bulky. The officers were. . given to understand that they must dis . . criminate between necessariesjand luxuries . . aod the sick told that ambulances could be grauted to very few, if any.

It was too much to be borne, and at last they no longer marched back in columns, but ran hurrying for life from tbe terrible ministers of death, At three o’clock iu the afternoon the enemy opened a fierce mueketry fire upon Cougch, which quickly extended along the line, including Koordey aod Porter jn its Paints, Gilt Mouldings, .

Hun. dreds of soldiers were limping bither and . thither, their arms in slings, asking for their regiments, The long lines of fevered, . staggering people struck out for the river, and many adrop ot blood spattered the . sand as they filed through brook and wood, . over hill and dale, nerved by tbe certainty that every footfall ensared more directly . their deliverence. The ambulances were crowded with men until the eprings beut . flat upon the axles, and avery common matter toxee was several wounded men sitting in the tail of the wagou with bloody . feet dripping upon the steps. All day loug . . the wagons went out in foggy files, and the . . troops sauntered toward the same ultima . . thule. A thousand or more wounded and sick . were leftin a hospital, and by five o’clock . on Sunday morning, the whole army was moving towards White Oak Swamp. Two severe engagements occurred this day, in . j ' both of which the rebele were beaten back. . . The first took place on Allen’s farm, in the . forenoon, and lasted from eight o’clock till . . twelve—our forces losing about a hundred . . and fifty meno, and the rebels not less than . ;@ thousand. Having beld their ground . . until the teams were far across White Onk . Swamp, the Federals fell back leisurely to . . Savene’s Station, where another and more . sanguinary conflict occurred, which lasted . . from five o’clock in the afternoon until . eleven at night. At midnight the Federals ‘continued their march across the swamp, . . being compelled to leave all their dead and . tnany of their wounded. By five o'clock . . on Monday morning the troops bad crossed . ‘the swamp, Gen. Richurdson bringing up and protecting the rear. The rebels having . crorsed by anotber route attacked our forces about ten o’clock in the morning, and a murderous fight wae kept up antil night. . This, by some correspondents is called the . battle of White Oak Swamp—by others, of 'Neleon’s Farm. The enemy was again ‘driven back, but not sufficiently beaten to prevent his continuing the pursuit the next . morniog. On Tuesday, July Jat, occurred the bat. tle of Malvern Hille—the last, wost fiercely . contested, and perbaps the mort sanguinary of the series, It is thus nescribed hy espondent: Ateight o'clock Tuesday morning, our . forces baving been concentrated at this! . . . . . . Express will always be accompanied . point, the line of battle was formed, Gen, . Frauklin boldiog the right, resiing on the . James river, aod Gen. Porter the extreme . left, Gens. Keys and Heintzelman occupy: ing the center, Gen, Samner’s corps was . held in reverse, At nine o’clock the rebels . opened the battle with a beavy fire of ar-! . sent to bis assistance. . whether cotton can fire, For three hours the battle raged . Hereely, the sound of mosketry and artillety deafening the ear, Up to six o’clock it . Was an equal game—if anything, we were getting the worstof It. At6 o'clock in the evening Gen, Porter sent word by an aid, who drove hastily up, dust-covered and well-nigh exhausted, to Gen, Sumner, who, as Senior Geveral, was in command, saying that he must bave reinforcements or lose the day. Gen. Sumner immediately directed that two of Richardson’s Brigades— Gen, Caldwell’s and Gen, Meagher’s—be Geo, Heintzelmen atthe same time sent two of Hooker’s— Gen. Sickle’s Excelsior Brigude and Gen. Patterson's N. J. Brigade. These new men, fighting with a courage and determination of which the anoale of war cannot furnish a superior, drove the enemy until dark,and decided the fate of the Battle of Malvern Hills and the Army of tha Potomac. Night coming on, we held the bard-fought and thickly strewn fleld, having in every engagement during the progress of the movement toward James river beaten and beld in check a powerful and superior enemy, at Allen’s Farm, Savage's Station, Nelson’s Farm aod Malvern Hills—a series of battles ecarcely paralleled in bistory. The rebels were so (thoroughly beaten that they could no longer pursue with the rapidity or vigor which had charaeterized their movements, since our movement for a change of position was inaugurated. Tue Crors.—The promise of the crops for this year is fair, The wheat now bhervesting will not be as large in quantity as that of Jaet year, but will be quite sufficieut for the wants of the country, with enough to spare for foreignn consumption, The winter wheat cropcf Western New York, Southern Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, andfall of Missouri will be uousually large and profitable, Not so with the spring wheat of the Northwest. The Hessian fly, which commeuced its ravages on Long Island many years since, and bas steadily worked its way westward bas been very destructive in the Northwest this year, and for the first time. The crop will scarcely be worth gatheriog in Northern Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. There isa promise of an abundant yield of corn, but there is far less planted than usual, owing to the low prices last year, which, indeed, did not pay the cost of growing. This year will ehow be raised profitably with free labor in Illinois, It bas beea planted extensively in “Egypt.” The experiment of growing beet sogar is also to be tried in the same State-—[New York World. erence Beacrecarv.—The Lynchburg (Virgins . ja) Republican of June 30th says: “It was currently reported here on Saturday that Beauregard had been suspended from bis command of the army of the Wert, The cause is not know.

f. Hevada Democra THE SEVEN DAYS’ BATTLE, _ . The accounts of the late fighting before Richmond, given by correspondents of New . York papers, are graphic and bighly interesting, The first battle of the series, was . foughtat Mechanicsville, on the 25th of ‘June, and was continued ou the 26th, the Federals falling back to Gaines’ Mill, . where one of the most sanguinary engage. ments of the war occurred on F . 27th, On Friday night. orders were given for the retreat of the army to James river, . the main body crossing White Oak Swamp. . There was no general engagement on Sat. . urday, tbe most of the day being occupied . in starting the provision and ammunition trains for the new base of operations, and in providing, as far as was possible, for the . eick aud wounded. A correspondent thus describes the preparation for retreat: . It was generally understood at daylight . ) 00 Saturday also that the army was to . evacuate its line of eutrenchments. To do . this with the requisite precipitancy it was aaa eee One ee nner te tsetse ne neanes GUST 12, 1862 riday, the . bille was kept up during the . els getting decidedly the wors NUMBER 651. tillery, to which we responded from numerous batteries which had been placed along the bill-sides in cominanding positions. The day was a beautiful one, clear and cloudless, unless from the emoke of the . lncessant artillery fire; the position a fine one; AN Open country, with rolling ground . fringed by thick woods; the James river in . sight, and on its waters, cleared for action, . two gauboate, the Jacob Bell and Galena, ‘kindly auxiliaries, whose 100-pounders poured awful missiles of death into the . woods above the river, by whose sides reb. e] reinforcements were coming, iu heavy /Humbers, The fire of the artillery on the day, the rebt of it, They, beyond disparagement, fought nobly. We could see several of (heir batteries pushed out beyond the woods, and almost bear the the commands of their officers, Their infantry marched up in solid columns by brigades of ten to the support of the batteries, and would press forward in the face of galling Gres toward our artillery, determined to make trophies of our gaus, Maintaining their close columns, they pushed forward to receive first our shot and shell, aod then drawing nearer, to be mowed down by grape and canister. Facing this as long us the could, they would at length wheel around and march back again in good order, leaving the ground covered . hecassary to move ouly the most essential . baggage, and leave everything that was . . ponderous or bulky. The officers were. . given to understand that they must dis . . criminate between necessariesjand luxuries . . aod the sick told that ambulances could be grauted to very few, if any.

It was too much to be borne, and at last they no longer marched back in columns, but ran hurrying for life from tbe terrible ministers of death, At three o’clock iu the afternoon the enemy opened a fierce mueketry fire upon Cougch, which quickly extended along the line, including Koordey aod Porter jn its Paints, Gilt Mouldings, .

The ambulances were crowded with men until the eprings beut . flat upon the axles, and avery common matter toxee was several wounded men sitting in the tail of the wagou with bloody . feet dripping upon the steps. All day loug . . the wagons went out in foggy files, and the . . troops sauntered toward the same ultima . . thule. A thousand or more wounded and sick . were leftin a hospital, and by five o’clock . on Sunday morning, the whole army was moving towards White Oak Swamp. Two severe engagements occurred this day, in . j ' both of which the rebele were beaten back. . . The first took place on Allen’s farm, in the . forenoon, and lasted from eight o’clock till . . twelve—our forces losing about a hundred . . and fifty meno, and the rebels not less than . ;@ thousand. Having beld their ground . . until the teams were far across White Onk . Swamp, the Federals fell back leisurely to . . Savene’s Station, where another and more . sanguinary conflict occurred, which lasted . . from five o’clock in the afternoon until . eleven at night. At midnight the Federals ‘continued their march across the swamp, . . being compelled to leave all their dead and . tnany of their wounded. By five o'clock . . on Monday morning the troops bad crossed . ‘the swamp, Gen. Richurdson bringing up and protecting the rear. The rebels having . crorsed by anotber route attacked our forces about ten o’clock in the morning, and a murderous fight wae kept up antil night. . This, by some correspondents is called the . battle of White Oak Swamp—by others, of 'Neleon’s Farm. The enemy was again ‘driven back, but not sufficiently beaten to prevent his continuing the pursuit the next . morniog. On Tuesday, July Jat, occurred the bat. tle of Malvern Hille—the last, wost fiercely . contested, and perbaps the mort sanguinary of the series, It is thus nescribed hy espondent: Ateight o'clock Tuesday morning, our . forces baving been concentrated at this! . . . . . .

Hereely, the sound of mosketry and artillety deafening the ear, Up to six o’clock it . Was an equal game—if anything, we were getting the worstof It. At6 o'clock in the evening Gen, Porter sent word by an aid, who drove hastily up, dust-covered and well-nigh exhausted, to Gen, Sumner, who, as Senior Geveral, was in command, saying that he must bave reinforcements or lose the day. Gen. Sumner immediately directed that two of Richardson’s Brigades— Gen, Caldwell’s and Gen, Meagher’s—be Geo, Heintzelmen atthe same time sent two of Hooker’s— Gen. Sickle’s Excelsior Brigude and Gen. Patterson's N. J. Brigade. These new men, fighting with a courage and determination of which the anoale of war cannot furnish a superior, drove the enemy until dark,and decided the fate of the Battle of Malvern Hills and the Army of tha Potomac. Night coming on, we held the bard-fought and thickly strewn fleld, having in every engagement during the progress of the movement toward James river beaten and beld in check a powerful and superior enemy, at Allen’s Farm, Savage's Station, Nelson’s Farm aod Malvern Hills—a series of battles ecarcely paralleled in bistory. The rebels were so (thoroughly beaten that they could no longer pursue with the rapidity or vigor which had charaeterized their movements, since our movement for a change of position was inaugurated. Tue Crors.—The promise of the crops for this year is fair, The wheat now bhervesting will not be as large in quantity as that of Jaet year, but will be quite sufficieut for the wants of the country, with enough to spare for foreignn consumption, The winter wheat cropcf Western New York, Southern Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, andfall of Missouri will be uousually large and profitable, Not so with the spring wheat of the Northwest. The Hessian fly, which commeuced its ravages on Long Island many years since, and bas steadily worked its way westward bas been very destructive in the Northwest this year, and for the first time. The crop will scarcely be worth gatheriog in Northern Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. There isa promise of an abundant yield of corn, but there is far less planted than usual, owing to the low prices last year, which, indeed, did not pay the cost of growing. This year will ehow be raised profitably with free labor in Illinois, It bas beea planted extensively in “Egypt.” The experiment of growing beet sogar is also to be tried in the same State-—[New York World. erence Beacrecarv.—The Lynchburg (Virgins . ja) Republican of June 30th says: “It was currently reported here on Saturday that Beauregard had been suspended from bis command of the army of the Wert, The cause is not know.
