I^obably no battle was ever fought upon grakad more unfavorable for the maroenver- itigj and' deploying of troops. Nearly the wh^le country in this vicinity is covered with lease forest, much of it being of the same clnjraclor as-*‘The AVilderneei," lying only a short distance westof this point. The timber ie iissily dead, and still very dense; then, to make the forest still more impenetrable, there i»/a denser growth of dead underbrush, so. that it is baldly passable for man—certainly net for beast—and the worst place conceiva ble for handling troops. Yet a very great part of to-day’s terrible battle wna fought in this almost impenetrable j angle, snd many dead fmd wounded on both sides still lie there, con- ■tfealed in the gloomy depths of “The Wilder ness.*' The only'open ground upon -which the battle was fought ; s the pliin on tho south Ride of che plank road, near Chancellorsville, half a mile long, and perhaps three hundred yards wide. • The only open ground in our present position is a sdmi-clroular crest, ex tending from the left of General .Sykes’ posi tion to the right of General Howard’s. Im mediately in front of this are dense woods, concealing our ekirmishers and those of tho enemy. The crest is our artillery position, and here guns enough aie massed to blow to atoms the armies of a dozen Southern Confed eracies. The enemy seem to have a proper appreciation of the courtesies in waiting for them from this position. Twice to day have they essayed out of the woods towards our guns, and twice have those guns sent to their larthly doom untold, numbers of desperate wretclna., Tho artillery at this point is in ohttrgo of Captain Wood, Chief of Artillery of Everett, mrs w a 3. ”* ' ' |-fcntv, litTAfect, - Casey, J T Cammcl, mrs A J Chapman, J A Cheatnm, honE 8 Clinton,N A Clark,J AV Clark, miss Alice Clark.J H Calhoun J C Carter, Margaret Ca*n lieut W T Clements mrs M E2 Clint mrs Coryet, Jas Cowdus AV Calcole, J J Cox, T F Cox, mist Moliie Cooper, mrs 9 3 Donethsn, mrs K M Dunbar Sarah Ann Dunlap, miss Josephine Bake, John Duke, AV V Douglitry.

AV H -Daniel M The Slave Trade Treaty.—The President of the United Slates has officially proclaimed the additional article to the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, for thn sup pression of the African slave trade. The fof* lowing is the additional article: Whereas, by the first article of the treaty be tween Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the United Stales of America, for ihe suppression ot the Afri na slave trade, sighed at Washing ton on the 7rh of'.April, 1863, it wad stipulated and agreed that those ships of the rspective navies of the two high contracting parties which shall be provided with special instructions lor that purpose, as thereinafter mentioned, may visit such merchant vessels of the two nations as nuy, upon reasonable .grounds, lie.suspected of being engaged in ihe African slave trade, or of having been filled out for that purpose, or ot li ning, during the voyage on which they aie met by the said cruisers,' been engaged in the African slave trade,-contrary to ihe provisions of the said treaty ; and that such cruisers mry detain sr.J send or carry away such vessels in order that they may to brought to trial in the manner thereinafter agreed upon; and whereas it jvos by the said article further stipulated and agreed that the reciprocal right of search and detention should be exercised only' in ihe dis tance of two hundred miles front tbe.cojsi of Africa, and to the Southward of the thirty-sec ond'parallel oi North latitude, and within thirty leagues from the coast of the Island of Cuba ; and whereas, the two high contracting parties are desirous of rendering the e»id treaty still more efficacious for its purpose—the plenipmen- tjaries who signed the said treaty have, in vf-tue of their tail-powers, agreed that the recip&ca right of visit and detention, as defined in the atticle aforesaid, may be exercised also, within thirty leagues of the Island of Madagascar, within-.thirty leagues ot the Island of Puerto S o*. Nbd within thirty leagues of the Island ot n Domingo. The present additional article shaikhs** the same force and validity as if it had beetrinsarted'werd for word in the treaty concluded between the two high contracting patties on the 7th of April, 1863, and shall have the same duration aa that treaty. It shall be ratified, qnd the ratifications shall be exchanged at London in six months from thia.xkte, or sooner, if po3Bible.
