Official Report.
Richmond, Juu<? 24, ISO 2.
6-V/u S. Cwper, Ad ft anil Imp r Gen’l:
cir. BtTore the 30th May, I
froDj trusty scouts, that IveyeY corps was
triicauiped on this side of the Chickahominy,
iicur the Williamsburg road. On that day
Muj G*u. 1) H Hill r#portod a strong body
iiumediately in his liont. On receivinjz this
repvit, I determined to attack them the next
moiiiiug—hoping to t-e able to defeat Keyes'
corps completely in its more advanced posi
tion bet ore it could be reinforced. Written
orders were despatched to Major Generals
Hill, Ilujrer, Hud G V. Smith. General
Lougstreet, being near my headquarters,
received verbal instructions. Tbe receipt of
th e orders was acknowledged. General Kill,
supported by the division of General Long
street (who had the direction of operations
on the was to advance by the Wil
liamsburg road to attack the enemy in front ;
General Huger, with bis division, was to
move dowu the Charles City road, in order
to attack in hank the troops who might be
engaged with Hill and Longstreet, unless
he found in his tront force enough to occupy
his division, General Smith was to march to
the junction of the New Bridge road and the
Nine Mile road, to be in readiness either to
tall on Keyes’ right flank or to cover Long
street’s left. They were to move at daybreak.
Heavy and protracted rains during the after
noon and night, by swelling the Ohicka
hoininy, increased the probability of our
having to deal with no other troops than
i those of Keyes. The same cause prevented
the prompt and punctual movement of the
troops. Those of Smith, llill and Long
street, were in position early enough, how
ever, to commence operations by 8 oeloek,
A. M.
Major General Longstreet, unwilling to
make a partial attack, instead of the com
bined movement which had been planned,
waited troin hour to hour for Gen. Huger’s
division. At length, at 2 o’clock, p. m.;
lie determined to attack without those troops.
He accordingly commenced his advance at
that hour, opening the engagement with ar
tillery and skirmishers. By 3 o’clock it
! became close and heavy,
j In the meantime, 1 had placed myself on
the left of the force employed in this attack,
! with the division of General Smith, that 1
might be on a. part of tin; field where I could
j observe, and be ready to meet, any counter
■ movements which theeuemy’s General might
! make against our centre or left. Owing to
j some peculiar condition of the atmosphere,
! the sound of the musketry did not reach us.
1 I, consequently, deferred giving the signal
i fur Gen. Smith’s advauee tili about 4 o’clock,
at which time Major Jasper Y\ hiting, of
Gen Smith’s start, whom I had -»ent to learn
the state of affairs with Gen. Longstreet’s
column, returned, reporting that it was
pressing on with vigor. Smith’s troops were
| at. once moved forward.
The principal attack was made by Major
General Longstreet, with his ow n and Major
General l>. H. Hill’s division—the latter
most gallantly led, forced their way through
tUe abattis winch formed the enemy’s exter
nal defences, aud stormed their entrench
ments by a determined aud irresistable rush.
B>u«:h was the manner in which the enemy’s
first line was carried. Tfie operation was
repeated with the same galiautry and suc
cess as our troops pursued their victorious
career thro'ugh the enemy’s successive camps
and entrenchments. At each new position
they encountered fresh troops belonging to
it, aud reinforcements brought ou from the
rear Thus they had to repel repeated ef
torts to retake works which they had carried,
but their advance was never successfully
resisted.
Their onward movement was only stayed
by the coining ot night. By nightfall they
had forced their way to the “Seven Pines,”
having driven the enemy back more than
two miles, through their own camps, and
from a series ui' entrenchments ; and repelled
every attempt to recapture them with great
slaughter. The skill, vigor, aud decision
with which these operations were conducted
by Gen. Longstreet are worthy of the high
est. praise, lie was worthily seconded by
Major General Hill, of whose conduct and
courage lie speaks iu tiie highest terms.
Major General Smith’s division moved
forward at four o’clock—W hiting’s three
brigades leading. Their progress was im
peded by the enemy’s skirmishers, which,
with their supports, were driven back to the
railroad. At this point, Whiting's own,
aud Pettigrew’s brigade, engaged a superior
force ot the enemy. Hood’s, by my order,
moved ou to co operate with Lougstreet
General Smith was desired to hasten up with
all tiie troops withiu reach. He brought up
Hampton’s and Hatton's brigades iu a few
minutes.
The strength of the cuemy’s position,
however, enabled him to hold it until dark.
About suuset, being struck from my horse,
severely wounded by a fragment of a shell,
1 was carried from the field, and Major Gen
eral G. \Y. Smith succeeded to the com
mand.
He was prevented from resuming his at
tack on the euemy’s position next morning
by the discovery of strong entrenchments,
not seen ou the previous evening. His di
vision bivoucked, on the uight of the 31st,
within musket shot of the entrenchments
which they were attacking, when darkness
stayed the conflict. Tbe skill, energy and
resolution with which Maj.-Gen. Smith di
rected the attack, would have secured suc
cess if it'had been inaue au hour earlier.
The troops of Longstreet and Hill passed
the night of the 3ist or the ground which i
they had won. The enemy were strongly
reiuforced from the north -ude of the Chick
akominy on the evening and night of the
Gst. The troop* engaged by Gen. Smith
w>-re undoubtedly from the other side of the
river.
Ou toe morning ot the Ist of June, iht
enemy attacked the brigade of Gen. Pick**
ett, which was supported by that of Gen.f
Pry oi The attack wan vigorously repelled
by these two brigades, of the ac
tion falling on Gen Pickett. This was the
lust demon strut ion made by the enemy.
Our troops employed they residue of the
day m securing and bearing eff the captured
arffflffy, small arms, and other property
aud in the evening quietly returned to their
owm camps.
e took ten pieces of artillery, six thou
sand (6,000,) muskets, one garrison flag,
a °d tour regimental colors, besides a large
quantity of tents and camp equipage.
Major-General Longstreet reports the loss
in his command as being about 3,000
idaj.-Gen. G. . Smith reports his
loss at 1,283
Total 4,283
That ot the enemy is stated in their own
newspapers to have exceeded ten thousand
—an estimate which is, uo doubt, short of
the truth.
Had Major-General Huger’s division been
in position ami ready for action, when those
of Smith, Longstreet uud Hill moved, I am
satisfied that Keyes’ corps would have been
destroyed, instead of being merely defeated.*
Had it. gone into action even at 4 o’clock,
the victory would have been much more com
plete.
Major-Generals Smith and Longstreet
speak in high terms of their superior and
stafl officers.
J. beg leave to ask the attention of the
Government especially to the manner in
which Brigadier-Gens. Whiting and R. 11.
Anderson, and (Hols. Jenkins and Kemper
and Hampton, exercising commands above
their grades, and Brig.-Gen. Rhodes, are
mentioned.
This, aud the captured colors will be de
livered by Major A. H. Cole, of iny stafl'.
I have been prevented, by feebleness, from
making this report sooner, and am still too
weak to make any but a very imperfect one.
Several hundred prisoners were taken, but
1 have received uo report of the number.
Your obedient servant,
[Signed] J. E. Johnston, General.

The President summoned them to meet
I him fit his house, on the 12th insfc- In ad
dressing them he reproached them fur not
voting for the bill for the gradual emancipa
tion of slavery, and said :
On Saturday, the 12th instaut, the rep
resentatives of the -“Border’' States assem
bled, by iuvitation, at the Presidential man
sion in Washington, and were addressed by
| Lincoln “from a paper which he held in his
I hand.’’ He commenced by sadly reproach
i iug them for not voting for the gradual
emancipation resolution sent to Congress in
: March. He- then urged emancipationon
them, and said ;
If the war continues long, as it must if
the object be not sooner attained, the insti
tution iu your State will be extinguished by
mere friction and abrasion—by the mere in
cidents ot the war. It will be gone, and
you will have nothing valuable in lieu of it.
Much of its value is gone already How
much better for you and for your people to
take the step which at once shortens the war
1 and secures substantial compensation for
that which is sure to be wholly lost in any
other event 1 Kow much better to thus save
the money which else we siuk forever in the
war. How much better to do it while we
can, lest the war ere long render us pecuni
arily unable to do it! How much better for
you, as seller, and the nation, as bujer, to
sell out and buy out that without which the
war could never have been, then to sink
both the thing to be sold and the price of it
in cutting one another’s throats !
I do nut speak of emancipation at once,
but of a decisiou at once to emancipate grad
ually. Room in South America for coloni
zation can be obtained cheaply and in abun
dance, aud when numbers shall be laTge en
ough to be company and encouragement for
one another, the freed people will not be so
reluctant to go.
lie then alluded to his disagreement with
Gen. Hunter’s proclamation, and the “pow
erful party that supported it,” aud added :
Yet, in repudiating it, I gave dissatisfac
tion, if not offence, to many whose support
tbe country caunot afford to iose. And this
is not the end of it. The pressure in thi>
direction is still upon me, and is increasing.
By conceding what. I now ask, you can re
lieve ine, and, much more, can relieve the
country iu this important point.
lie then advised them to go home and de
liberate ou bis request, which they did, and
a few days after the conclusion of the ma
jority was made public. They arc sensitive ;
about interfering with an institution pecu
liarly under the control of the States, and
then they are appalled by the sum to Ik* paid
for the slaves, which would be 51,2f»0,000,-
OUO even at 8300 per bead, the compensation
contained iu the emancipation act for the
District of Columbia. They alarmed at his
sentence about the Hunter proclamation,
and say :
\Ye Will not allow ourselves to think that
the proposition is, that we consent to give
up slavery, to the eud that the Hunter proc-
lamation may be let lon ? j un tb«* Southern !
people, fdr it is too w<-U kn -wn that we ;
would not be parties to any '*iuh measures,
ind we have tou much respect for you to j
.fnagino y-.u would propose it Cun it mean j
rfiat by sui ritu-iog onr interest ;u dxvery we |
ippeaso the spirit th:»t coutrols thnt mens- }
ure, cause it to bo withdrawn, ond rid the
country of the pestilent ngitHti. n os the
slavery question i \\ c are forbidden so to '
r liink, fur that spirit would not be satisfied ;
with the liberation of 700,000 slaves nor !
cease its :igita f i<*u, while three millitfri re
main in bondage. Can it mean that by
abandoning slavery in our States wo are re
moving the pressure from you and the coun
fry. by preparing for a separation on the
line ol the cotton States ? \\ e arc forbidden
s) to think, because it is known that we arc,
and we believe that you are, unalterably op- |
posed to any division at nil. TYc would pre
fer to think that you desire this concession
as a pledge of our support, and thus enable
you to withstaud a pressure which weighs
heavily on you aud the country. Mr. Pres
ident, no such sacrifices is necessary to se
cure our support.
They announce their willingless to leave
it to a vote of the people in their respective
States but <>ay ;
Before they ought to consider the propo
sition, it should be presented in such a tan
gible practical, efficient shape as to com
maud their cnilidence that its fruits are con
tingent only upon their acceptance. Vve
caunot trust anything to the contingencies
of future legislation. If Congress, by prop
er and necessary legislation, shall provide
sufficient Binds and place them at your dis
posal, to be applied by you to the payment,
ot any of our States, or the citizens therof,
who shall adopt the abolishment of slavery
i either gradual or immediate, us they may de
i termine, and the expense of deportation and
' colonization of the liberated fdaves, then will
j our States and people take proposition
into careful consideration, for such decision
as in their judgement is demanded by their
interests, their honor, and tlittir duty to the
whole country. We have the honor to be,
with great respect.

that the leaders of the Southern rebellion
have ordered to abolish slavery among thorn
as a condition to foreign intervention iu fa
vor of their independence as a nation. Il
they can give up slavery to destroy the In

Morgan’s Return.
A portion of Col. John Morgn’s command,
consisting of the Ist Georgia Rangers and '■
the Texan Rangers, returned this city yes- \
terday. From Capt. M. C. Blanchard, i
Quartermaster of the Ist Georgia cavalry, )
we have obtained some interesting perticii- ;
lars of the expedition. i
Col. Morgan has returned in safety to- i
l Tennessee, after one of the most, daring and j
successful raids into the heart of an enemy’s.
country recorded in the annals of war. lie
left here with about I,ooo’brave spirits*,
penetrated 250 miles into a country iu full
posession of the Federals—this distance we
give as the direct line, of course the actual
distance traveled greatly exceeded that.
He captured a dozeu towns and citie?, de
stroyed Federal military stores, and other j
property, and railroad bridges, in all amount- |
iug to eight or ten millions of dollars. He
took perhaps over a thousand prisoners, all
of whom he paroled. At Cynthiana, he en
countered a Federal foioe equal to his own, i
who, aftewi few hours light surrendered.
At Lebanon lie t ok between two and i
three tnousand stand of arms, half of which ]
he retained, and half destroyed. Hen* also j

this besides frightening the whn'.* Vanke*
nation out of its propriety, with a lo=s <>f not ■
more than fifteen or twenty men killed in
all his engagements, and between thirty and 1
forty wounded, and has returned it triumph ;
to Tennessee. • (
Where i- he at present, and what will be j
his next daring move, is of course, not a
matter to be divulged, but, it is certain that
he and his brave rangers cannot lemiin in- i
active.
History will hereafter record this cxpe li- 1
tion a- one of the most remarkably daring '
and success!ul ever made on this eoutlucnt.
We shall endeavour to give further par- i'
