which be gives to He public.
Manufacture of Salt.— On our first pag<

live article on the manufacture of salt, whicl
was contributed by an intellig ut gentleman o
cur acquaintance to the Tallahassee Floridian
It has become an extensive interest alor g ih>
Atlantic ffi Gitil coasts, and as many have gom
into the business without the requisite infor

the writer many valuable suggestion.
Morgan at Frankfort.—Tue Atlanta Con

loads of Federal guns, capturea Gov. McGofHn
and then fell hack to Richmond, in Madisoi

Tim Right Move at La.-t.—A Yankee des
patch announces that the Rebels have crossed
the Ohio and actually taken a town in Indiana,
together with a number ol prisoners and arms.
This is almost as good as the news from the
Chiekahomiuy. True, tho movement is on a
small scale, bat it is tho tight one, and, w,
trust, will lead to greater things. It is a move
incut in the enemy's country, and r.stuch give.-

We find the following advertisement in a
Charleston paper:

This is but an open exhibition of what has
been going on secretly, in many southern com
munities, lor weeks, if not months, past. The
whole tendency of this speculation in bills on
the State banks, is to depreciate Confederate
currency and bring’the credit ot the nation into
disrepute, and as such it should receive the in
dignant frowns of the public everywhere. We
regret to see so respectable a firm as W. M. &
J. O. Marlin t*r Cos. engaged in any such un
patriotic business, and their fellow-citizens qi
Charleston will be untrue to themselves if they
do not teach them that no such war can be
made on tiej country within the corporate lim
its * and u.eh city. We believe the. advertisers are
worthy men and do not understand the true ef~
teot of the trade; but litey are evidently In—
dieting serious injury upon their country, and,
as honest men, will think none the less of ns
fur telling them-the truth.
After all, this whole business of speculation
in State bank bills i3 s fraud upon the people.
They are no better, in point ot fact, than Con
federate notes. Sh uld the revolution succeed,
the latter will be redeemed in coin and consti
tute for the time being the great, circulating
medium of the country, to pass alike in all the
States. For this purpose they will be worth a
premium. &tiou!d ilt revolution fait, then Con
federate notes and bank notes rdfost all go
down together. The South intends to sacrifice
banks and everything else before she will con
sent to come n der the Abolition yoke.
Bstiei’s Explanation.
If there be a lower depth of degradation to
which a man can descend who 1 s already
reached the very mudsills of the ccospool ot
infamy. Bailer’s pretended explanation would
win for him that distinction. lie before stood
before the world as a tyrant, a brute, and a
scoundrel; he now figures iu the no less en
viable characters of hypocrite and liar. Does
te believe that any man in Christendom will be
lieve a word he says whm both the language and
entire history of bis order brand it as utter,
unmitigated falsehood ?
Why was it that he tacitly assented to the
world’s 'nterpretaticn of his order in his con
t < Virsy with Mayor Mcnrce, and saved it for
b.s long weeks, until a perfect storm of execra
tion was bursting npon him from eve-y quart, r
of the globe ?
Why did be not before this quiet the excite
meet ia New Orleans, caused by his order,
when lie could have done .it. by a word ol ex
planation ?
The order professed to bo an extraordinary,
neasure justified by the emergency of the time,
tnd designed as a punishment for alleged of
•ences. What sort of punishment is it to a
lady to let her alone to do as she pleases and
not puni.-h her at ail, or even notice her ? Wha
abominable stuff for an apology!
Aud again: “ gentlemen ” may “ pass un
needed” “ a common woman plying her voca
ion.” (or on-vocation as Butler originally
wrote it) but will he pretend to say that his in
famous clan ot rogues and blackguards arc
r/entteme::. —that one out of ten understood bis
order as he now interprets it—or that nine out
it ten arc not capable of Tiny species of vice
and especially the one to which he has given
uch distinguished patronage?
But why argue in answer to a man who knows
that he lies in his throat, and does uot hesitate
o write what everybody knows to be false. We
eave him to his fate.
A flair Iu Kentucky.
The daring exploits of Morgan, with his few
thousand men. are' attracting the admiration
u.d exciting tho astonishment of all. Many
‘ear that he has ventured too far—that the ex
cited Federal?, gatherlrg from all quarters, will
ryet surround and capture his little band, or,
’what is more likely, cut them to pieces. Tbe
destruction of railroads and bridges in his
r '.nr, would seem to cut off friends as well as
foes, and it is not an easy problem when we
come to consider how he is to bo reinforced
tnd enabled to resist a heavy force.
We confess matters do not look exactly right
nit there, though they have worked to a charm
thus far. It is evident to ns that Morgan does
not expect reinforcements from the direction
to came. He has, however, completely cut off
he way of retreat to the Federals at Nashville,
hould we make an attack upon them in force.
This much Is a strong point gained, and when
we combine it with the idea that Bragg, or
tome other General in command in the West,
may march to bis relief, leaving Nashville to
the right, and thus avoiding tho burnt bridges
and broken railways, the prospect looks fuller
.f promise than of despair. Largo numbers of
the people of Kentucky, it is said, are flocking
to Morgan’s standard, and if he has the means
of arming them, the whole State may be revo
lutionized before tho world is aware of it.
In any event, we havo confidence in the cool
sagacity and courage of Morgan, and fee! pretty
.vi 11 assured ho has not ventured into a place
where he cannot see his way clear through, or
safe back again. ~
Thu Caktet, of 1812. — An exchange explains
this plan, recently agreed upon for the ex
cnaugc of prisoners, as a covenant or agree,
m nt for au exchange of prisoners, between the
United States and Great Britain, daring the late
war, by which all prisoners, taken by either
belligerent, were to be paroled and returned to
their respective countries, whenever a certain
number were captured, their expenses being
paid for the time being, by the Consuls of their
respective countries-; and receipts and vouchers
as to rank being given received in all such
shipments. Wheuever the numbers thus cap
tured and paroled were- equal on both sides,
they were exchanged, rank for rank—with the j
exception of privateers, whom Great Britain rc .
fused to recognize as men of war’s men, and
wao were accordingly retained as prisoners
until the close of the war.
If this be accepted eDtire, it appears that our
privateersmen in the hands of the enemy will
be retained until the close of hostilities. We
presume, however, that our government has not
acknowledged tho distinction between them
and other prisoners, in its recent agreement. It
is too far committed on that point to make any
such concession
Commodore Tattnall — While the friends
of our bravo old Commodore have never cn- i
tertain.-d the slightest uneasiness concerning
the judgment of the Naval Court Martial, con
vened at his suggestion, vet the circumstances
of his acquittal are such as to occasion a pecu
liar degree of satisfaction. No honest, we!!- ]
balanced mind could, under the circumstances, j
have arrived at any other conclusion; still,
officers of the Navy, distinguished tor their
long service, had, from motives of their own,
cast a- tain upon his well-earned reputation. It
was this that caused him to appeal to a still
high*r trUramS, and demand its judgment.
Ti nt judgment has beeu giveu, and iu a manner
not only vindicatory, but highly complimentary
of himself. There can be no appeal from or
questioning of the decision of such men as Ros
scan, the oldest naval commander in the ser
vice; Buchanan, who commanded the Virginia
in her great exploits in Hampton Roads, and
knev well her structure and powers; Pegram
the most gallant seaman of his day, together
with Maury, and Mason, and Fairfax aud others.
We have, from the beginning, regirded this
attempt to depreciate the reputation of Com
modore Taunall as the result of ignorance on
the part of some, and of j al.'uv? on the pan
of others. We, therefore, r< joice that the truth
has been vindicated, and his fair fame relieved
o: every breath of suspicion against it.

ProbaWo KflVet of McC 1 li.iu’s Ueie.it j
iu Europe.
The Asia, whose news was briefly given in
onr telegraphic colnmn yesterday, brought in
telligence that McClellan’s defeat belore Rich
mond had become Known to the European
public. It is also said that the English Press
generally agree in setting it down 83 “ a serious
reverse” to tho Federal cause We are some
what surprised at this, as the steamer which
took out the accounts left before the conclu
sion of the series of engagements, and at a
time when but little was known of the facts at
the North, and that little perverted Into favor
able news. We can only account for tho truth’s
reaching them on the supposition that fore'gn,
ministers sent over full Confederate accounts to
their governments.
Beyond the general expression of opinion
above quoted, we have yet nothing to indicate the
probable effect of this victory on the European
mind. We would, however, in the beginning
caution our government and southern men
generally, from expecting too much. We do
not believe that England will make it a ground
of our recognition, or ol Interference for a set
t’euient of onr disputes. The late battles have
only proved that we could whip the Federals
whenever we meet them in anythirg approach
ing to a fai- field, and that we are not to be
conquered and -übjogtted by the Yankees ; hut
all this th 1 English believed bef ire. They have
learned nothing new, and hence we can see
little to justify the belief that they will change
their policy. From the bottom of our heart we
hope they will .cot.
'Latcaccburits contain information of a pro
table negotiation between France and Russia,
for a combined movement in favor of peace.
T is rnav come to somethin!?, and we shall not
he surprised if it did ; though we w* uld base no
movement on such an expectation. We—the
Confederates —are the best, if not the only,
peacemakers. Foreign governments, we may
rest assured, will not aid ns until we cease to
ae°d their assistance, and hence it is wholly
unimportant in a practical point of view,
whether they come to our reliefer not. w e
would not give a snap of our finger for ail toe
recognitions that could be made out by Euro
pean governments in a month. They will not
raise the blockade, ship us a cannon or musket,
or put an additional man into our ranks. True,
recognition might provoke a quarrel with our
enemy, but we are opposed to this too, for we
cm whip the Yankees single-handed, and wish
to establish the fact to the pe feet satisfaction
of the world. This we have every prospect of
doing within the next sixty days.
Let U3 then prcs3 forward to the work before
us, without turning to the right or left, and,
above all.without stopping to listen to the syren
song of European intervention.

CosS of tlie War—Motive far Continu
ing It.
The New York Herald says the civil war has
cost the United States f6OO 000.€00, and the
•‘bones of its dead soldiers would make a Gol
gotha monument higher than that of Bunker
Hill.” It say?:
‘ln return for this immense outlay of 11 >od,
and treasure what have we gaiued ? Are the
rebels subdued ? Or. the contrary, they seem
stronger than ever. Is the rebellion at its last
gasp ? It has to-day more soldiers iu the fi :ld
than the Union. Have we succeeded in re
viving the Union feeling at the South ? Why,
every day the two sections drift farther and
farther apart; everyday we become more and
more ignorant of the sentiments of tbe South
ern people; every day that this accursed re
hellion is permitted to continue, the number of
Southern Union men becomes less as the old
Union seems more powerless and remote, and
the new Confederacy mote powerful and suc
cessful What, then, have we gained ? In
spite of our brilliant victories, our nav.il su
periority. ou l ' numerous but isolated triumphs,
wo have practically and in results gaintd very
little and lost very much.
“What, then, shall wo do next ? Shall we give
up the war, disband our array and navy, and let
the rebels go in peace ?. Never! It is too late
to think of such a course. The recognition of
the Soui hern Confederacy by our own govern
ment is no longer among the contingencies of
this war. The rebels may defeat our armies
and capture our capital—these are possibilities
—but the rebels can never conquer their inde
pendence. The conflict has assum* and anew
and a sublimer aspect. We have to decide now,
not whether the rebels can be subdued, but
whether the country is to be saved. The ques
tion is no loDger the putting down of the re
bellion, but the salvation of the nation. We
are in cut de sac , from which our only escape is
the suppression of the rebellion- by lorce.”
There are two points in the above extract
that are worthy of notice. The fi st is that the
Yankee government intend to make th s a war of
conquest or extermination. This is the only
issue, and it is declared not only by the Herald,
but by every official of the government, from
the President down to the blackguard R’ pre-
sentative in the House. Nobody North—if
they are to be believed—thinks of giving up
until the last vestige of power and freedom, in
one party or the other, shall have been crushed
out. It is therefore a war of vengeance, im
placable and remorseless—sach an one as no
nation in this age of Christian civil'z ttion has
hitherto dared to wage. Tiiey are our invaders,
originally with the alleged intention of putting
down a “ rebellion, ” for which purpose
they professed to be all-powerful—in fact,
“thirty days, ” it was declared, wduld be
ample for the purpose. Over a year of fruit
less attempt has been made to accomplish
the purpose; the most formidable navy
ever set afloat from American shores has
done its worst; the grandest and best equipped
army that has been marshalled since the begin
ning of time has been defeated and put to
flight; a thousand millions of treasure have
been spent in the undertaking by land and sea;
they acknowledge th-inseives whipped, and
concede that even their own capital may fall
into our hands; and yet., in spite of ail this,
they still call it a rebellion, summon more
troops to the rescue of their fallen fortunes
and fame, end swear they will yet crush us out
or suffer annihilation themselves. They know
that we do not intend to yield ; they therelore
declare extermination as their purpose for the
future.
With these declaration* on their lins, thus
j setting aside all the legitimate objects of war t
; in what light do they present themselves to ns ,
; a* an enemy, and to the world as a belligerent !
Power? Hiving put themselves beyond the j
! pale of civilization arc they longer entitled to 1
| toe usage* of civilized warfare at ottr hands?
i The law of nations and the behests of justice
j say they aro not. They stand in the light of
pirates or banditti, whom every man is author
: iz dto lav on sight. If they receive courtesies
; of w .<r, it will be a gratuity on our part, spring
| irg from sense of pity for the deluded men
whom the wicked and unprincipled are sedue
! iug to their destruction. On the score of de
i sert, they would receive nothing from us bat
the bayo ct and the halter. These tierce in.-trn
msnts would be but a just punishment for their
| crimes, and the world would hold us guiltless
did we resort to tfcein in the future. We are
not sure but tbat it would prove souud policy
and humane in its results.
The second point of the extract from the
Herald to which we would ask particular atten.
tion, is the implied confession that the Nort i
has cot the power to stand alone— that she has
not the material, moral and physical, for an in'
dependent existence—that the southern States
are the pillars that support their political
temple, and the moment they are removed, the
whole fabric must tn i.ble to rnin ! If not past
the reach of shame, how humiliated must a
northern man teei when he makes this conces
sion—when be yields the point that the life
blood and subsistence, the material and moral
support of his prou'd and boastful cation, are
all drawn from another whom be would deride
and belittle! Yet, we believe it is true, and, as
our bonds are broken now and forever, we can
only turn over these invetera'e and ruined
foes to their own remorse of conscience, for
having recklessly thrown away their “pearl of
great price”;

We could hardly give credence to the above
story, but are told that it is even worse than
this correspondent relates. The conduct of
some of these men was the worst a licentious
and brutal soldiery could itffl et upon defence
less women ; so vile, indeed, that an officer of
the army who regards the honor of his cloth,
has determined to lay the matter before the
government. We do not doubt that the men
who have committed the horrible crimes al
leged, as well as those who wit k and at it, will
meet with swift and retributive justice. The
honor of the army calls for it, and humanity
demands it.

a meeting of the stockholders residing in Co
lumbus was held, at which Judge Iverson de
livered an txcited speech over the alleged

to confer with Mr. Morris by mail, or, if possi
ble, by teli graph, offering him, in behalf of tie
citizens of Columbus, the following ultimatum
in substaHßs:
Ist. That Mr. Morris be respectfully request
ed to allow despatches to pass to and from this
office as heretofore.
fid. That in failure to comply with this re

TUB RETREAT TO TUB RIVER.
There was but one extremely perilous aitern'a
tlve. The array must fail back on James river.
A hope was entertained that tho enemy would
he deceived into the belief that we designed
to fall back to tho White House. Preparations
were accordingly began. Potter’s command
crossed the river without opposition.
During the night our bridges were blown up
and the crossings were barr.eaded end defended.
Keyes’ line, wtiich was on the extreme left,
resting upon White Oak swamp, was prolonged,
and our artillery and transportation trains were
ordered to prepare to move forward, 'that
night General Casey was also three ed to des
troy all public property at the White House that
could not be removed, aud to transport the
sick and wounded to a place oisa ety, to retire
himself, and rejoin the army on James river.
Friday night was thus actively and mournfully
passed, but it was felic-ty itself compared with
those of Saturday, Sunday, Monday aud Tues
day.
S iturday morning loomed upon tvs hotly and
cheerlessly Until nine o’clock not the sound
of a hostile gun disturbed the dread silent: .
About nine o’clock this anxiety was relieved by
an awful cannonade opened upon Smith’s posi
tion from two torts ia Garnett’s field, a battery
at Ft x John Porter’s old position, and another
below it on the left bauk ot the C&icknhotniny,
raking his entrenchments and compelling him
to abandon the strongest natural position on
our whole line. The lire wtis terrible. I can
describe its lines fairly by comparing it with
the right l-nes and angles of a ch ss board.—
Smith fell back to the woods, a few hundred
yards, and threw up breastworks out of range.
The enemy, content with his success, ceased
firing, and quiet was not disturbed again that
day. The silence of the enemy was explained
to me that eight by a negro slave, who uad es
caped from his master at headquarters ia Rich
imond. -He said a de patch Had been sent by
Jackson to Maurnder, who remained in coin
mand iu front of Richmond, expressed thus :
“lb; qu et. Everything is working as weii as
we could desire !” Ominous words !
I now proceed to Savage Station. I shall not
attempt to describe the sombre picture of
gloom, confusion and distress which oppressed
me th* re. I found officers e.wieavormg to
fight off the true meaning. Anxiety at lu sd
quarters was too apparent to one who had
studied that branch ot tho army too sharply to
be deluded by thin masks. The wretched spec
tacle of mangled men irorn yesterday’s battle,
the wearied, haggard and smoko-begriusmed
faces ot men who had fought yesterday, were
concomitants of every field, "yet formed
the sombre coloring of the ominous picture
before me. Then there were hundreds who
had straggled from the field, sprawled upon
every space where there was a shadow oi a leaf
to protect them from a broiling sun ; a hurry
and tumult ot wagons and artillery trains, end
less almost, rushing down the roads towards
the new base, moving with a sort <*f_ orderly
confusion almost as bistre-oing as panic itself.
But I venture that lew* of all that imi.-ning
throne', excepting old officers, understood urn
misfortune.
Ead less streams of artillery trains, wagons
and luneral ambulances poured down the roads
from the camps, and plunged into the narrow
funnel which was our only hope of escape. And
now the exquisite truth flashed upon me. It
was absolutely necessary for the salvation ol
the army and the cause that our wounded and
mangled braves, who lay moaning in physical
agODy in our hospitals, should be deserted aud
left iu the hands of the enemy. O! cruel hor
rors of war. Do you worn!* r my inends that
the features of youth wrinkle, and the strong
man’s beard silvers so.m amid such scenes ?
At daylight Gen McClellan was on the road.
Thousands of cattle, of wagons, and our im
mense train of artillery, intermingled with in
fantry, and great troops oi cavalry, choked up
| the narrow road .already General Sumner’s,
I Heimze!man’s and Franklin’s corps, under
| Sumner’s command, had been lolt to guard the
rear, with orders to fail back at daylight and
hold the enemy in check till night.- A noble
army for sacrifices, and some, oh bow many,
must fail to save the rest. The very slightest
movement from the iront was critical. At no
point along the line were we more than three
fourths of a mile from the enemy, and in front
ot Sedgwick’s line they were not over six hun
dred yards distant.. The slightest vibration at
any point was apt to thrill the rebel lines from
eentie to wings; but fortunately, by skillful
secrecy, cotutnn liter column was marched to
the rear.
Toward noon the line had retired several
miles, and rested behindjSuva.re Sution to de
stroy tho public property which had accumu
lated there. A locomotive on the railway was
started swiftly down the road, with a train of
cars, and soon plunged madly into the t hicka
hominy, a mangled wreck. The match was
applied to stores of every description, and
ammunition was exploded, m til nothing was
Jell t*> appease the rebel appetite for prey. De
struction was complete and the ruins were,
more touchingly desolate amid the mingled
victims of war’s rulhlessness, who laid on the
hillside mourning tho departure of friends
with whom they had bravely f.cgUt. Matty a
manly tellow has told me since that all human
sorrow seemed condensed into that one wo fnl
parting. If it were ever manful to shed tears,
men might teen have went like Nio e. L-“. tv
draw the veil to h de wound j more ug-.-.-i.z rg
than rude weapon ever rent.
The advance column and all the mighty train
had now been swallowed in ihe maw of the
dreary forest. It swept o -ward, onward, fast
and turious, like an avalanche. Every hour of
silence behiud w:.s ominous, but hours were
precious to us. Pioneer triads were rushing
along in front, clearing and repairing our single
road; reconnoissance officers were seeking
new routes for a haven of rest and sa'etv. The
enemy was in the rear, pressing on with fearful
pow r. He could press down fl u kward to our
front, cutting <ff our retreat. Would such be
our late S’ The vanguard had pissed White
Oak bridge, and had risen to a Uue defensive
post flanked by vVhite Oak swamp, where part
of the train at least e uld rest.
Headquarters, which had tarried near the
bridge, were now moved two miles beyond.
Keyes’ corps was forward. Sykes wa3 guard
ing our flauks; Morell was moving behind
Keyes; Viz John Porter stood guard around
the camp. Day was wearing away. An awful
lutnuit in rear, as if the elements were contend
ing, had been moving senses with exquisite
power. Foaming steeds aDd pushed riders
dashed into camp. You could see the baleful
firings of cannon flashing against the dusky
horizon, playing on the surface of the evening
clouds like sharp magnetic lights. Long line
of musketry vomted their iurious volleys of
pestilential lead through the forests, sweeping
scores of brave soldiers into the valley of the
shadow of death.
Nothing struck me so keely during all that
gloomy day and more de date night as the
thinly-disguised uneasiness of those to whom
the country had entrusted its fate. It was well
that soldiers who carry mu-kets did not read
the agony traced upon the face of that leader
whom they had learned to love. A tew,in that
gloomy bivouac folded their arms to sleep, but
most were too .xhausted to ei j >y that blessed
rdief. That dreadful tumult, but a few short
miles iu the distance, raged till long after th
whippoorwill had commenced his plaintive
song.
THE BATTLE OF SAVAGE STATION.
Morning beamed upon us again brilliantly, |
but hoiiv." The enemy had not yet appeared iu !
our front. Sumner hid brought cfl his splen-;
aid command. Franklin was posted strongly :
on the B**u : h bank of White' O k creek. Hciht- I
zetman was on Ins k-H, K yes’ corps was-mov- :
iugswiltiv to James river down tlie Charles!
City ana Q taker mads, Porter and part ot Sam- I
n t’s corps were following rapidly. The enemy j
tint attacked at Orchard Station, near Fair I
O ks, in the morning, but were soon driven
off. At about noon they returned in heavy
force from toe front ot Richmond, while a
strong column was thrown across tho Cbicka
homiuy, at Alexander’s bridge, near the rail
way crossing. They li r st appeared in the edge
of ihe woods south ot Trent’s, and opened up
on our column on the Williamsburg road with
shell. At the same time they trained a heavy
gun upoD Our hue (roar the bridge they had
just crossed. They still seemed deluded with
.he bulki that'-reueral McClellan intended to
re reat to the Pamunkey, and all day long they
had marched heavy columns from the r camps
in (root of Richmond across New Bridge to
strengthen Jackson stilt m re. Happy delu
sion.
The fi*st sheik exploded around and over the
hcspiial- at Savage Station, but it I- jo-i to say
it was not intentional. Th- y next open and up h
a i lu-'it-r ol officers, including (Funner, Sedg

had found another, and soon oar tremendous
land fleet was sailing down to m ike roads, and
our long artfUerv train of two hundred and fib v
gun-t, at.r! equipments, were lumbering after
them with furous but orderly speed.
BATTLE OF WHITE OAK SWAMP.
About ten o’clock General McClellan pushed
to the river, commuaicatL g with Commodore
Rodgers, and had the (runboat ft et posted to
aid us again -t the enemy. The cause was des
perate. but it was a relief to reach the river
where we could turn at bay with our roar pro
tected by the J nines and fl inks partially covered
by gunboats. Tidings, however, ha I boon re
ceived that the enemy was pushing rapidly
upon us in *everal columns of immense n ru
bers, apparently determined to crush u t or drive
us into the river that night. They opened
fiercely with she'l upon Smith’s- division at
White O tk bridge.
Long before thin our vanguard had debauch
ed from the road into -he field before Turkey
Bend, and our reserve, artillery was powerfully
posted on Malvern Hill, a magnificent bluff,
covering llirdin’s Landing, where onr gun
boats were cruising Hero was a glorious pros
peefc. ourgiliant fellows were bravely
holding the fierce enemy at bay to cover the
swiftly escaping trains, it was clear our troubles
were not ended. We again deceived the enemy
by going to Turkey Bead. He had imagined,
we were marching to New Market, destined to
a point on Cliff Bottom, road, near Fort Dar
ing. It was rtoLdar awav, and the enemy was
mossing his troops up m u* outlie left and on
**nr new front—for when we arrived at Malvern
Util the wings of tho arhay, as organized, wore
reve-sed, Keyes taking i he right, P trier’s corps
the left—as we faced Richmond. Our line now
described a great arc, and there was fighting
around three-fourths of the perimeter
General McClellan, who had already com
municated with the gunbo.a s, returned from
the front to Malvern Hill, which was made his
battle headquarters, and dispositions for a final
emergency were made. Fitz John Porter was
marched from the valley under the hill to his
position on the western crest of the hill, whtre
he could rake the plains toward Richmond.
Our splendid artillery was picturesquely
p!scd in tan shape at salient points, arid its
supports were disposed in admirable cover in
h illows between undulations of the bluff
Powerful concentrating batteries were also
posted ia the centre, so that, to use the lan
guage ot Cos!. S-viiz:-r, “we’ll clothe this hill in
sheets of flame before they take it ” It was a
magnificent spectacle. The roar of combat
grew tremendous cs the afternoon wore away.
There wa3 no time then nor afterwards to as
certaitt dispositions of particular organ'Zations.
They were thrown together wherever emer
gency demanded White Oak bridge, th- Quaker
road, Charles City road and the banks ot Tur
key creek were enveloped in dime, iron and
lead crushing through forests and tuea like a
destroying pes ilenee. A masked battery which
had opened from the swamp under Malvern
Ili'.l begun to prove inconvenient to Porter. It
plowed and crashed through some of our wag
ons, and disturbed groups of officers in the
splendid groves of Malvern mansion.
The gunboat Galena, anchored on the oppo
site side o'f Turkey Island, and the Arostook,
cruising at the head of the l-iasid, opened their
ports and piuttg and their awful metal into'the
rebel cover with Titanic force. Toward sunset
the earth quivered with the’terrific cotfus-ious
of artillery and huge explosions. The vast
aerial auditorium seemed convulsed with the
commotion of frightful sounds. Shells ra ed,
like dark meteors, athwart the horizon, cross
ing each other at eccentric angles, exploding
into deadly iron hail.
The forms of smoke-masked warriors; the
gleam of muskets on the plains where a Idlers
were, disengaged ; the artistic order ot battle
on Malvern Hill; ‘.he wild career of wilder
horsemen plunging to and fro and across the
field, formed a scene of exciting grandeur. In
the forest where ey es hid not. penetrate there
was nothing but the exhiikat-iag and exhaust
ing spasm of battle. Bal. iul fires bl iz and
among the trees, and (hath struck many
sliming marks. Our hnggard men stood there
with graad courage, fighting more like creatures
of loilier mould than men. Wearied aud jaded
and hungry and thirsty, beset by almost count
less toes, they cheered and fought and charged
into the very jaws of death, until veteran sol
diers fairly wept at their devotion.
Oil! friends, could you realize the afflictions
of tue past five days, you could almost shed
tear ;of blood. Oil! my friends, it is horrible!
horrible ! to see this prou I army so wretchedly
pressed upon every side, destruction threaten
ing wherever we turn ; scarce a hop -of extri
cation save that winch is born of deS| air.
Would o God such days had passed away for
