Ka.iKeo Accouim of tue Battle* before
Richmond.
Ia a late number of the Cincinnati Commer
cial we find a complete and conncgtcd narrative
of the seven days’ battles before Richmond. A.U
though somowhat out of date, tho following
extracts will be found interesting, and will
furnish a brief and comprehensive review of the
whole terrible conflict. The narrative embraces
the battle of Mechanicsville, the battle of Gaines’
Mills, the battles of Savage Station, and the bat
tie of White O ik swamp ;
THE SITUATION OF T7TE ARMY,
You remember that the army was pressing
hard upon Richmond. The right wing, con
sisting of McCall’s, Morrell’s, and Sykek* divi
sionsj less than 25,000 strong, was well posted
on the left bans of the Chickahominy, from
B -aver Dim creek to a point below New Bridge.
Several military bridges formed the avenues of
communication between the two portions of
the armv separated by the river. The centre,
consisting of Smith’s Sedgewick’s and Rich
ardson’s divisions, stretched iu line of battle
from Golding’s, on the banks of the river, to a
point south 5f the Yorktown railroad. The left
wing, consisting of Hooker’s, Kearney’s and
Goueh’s divisions, stretched from Richardson’s
left to a point considerably south of the Wil
liamsburg stage road, on the borders of Whi e
Oak swamp. The whole line was protected by
strong breastworks and redoubts. Casey’s (now
Peck’s) aadly reduced division guarde 1 Bot
tom B idge, the railway bridge, and were as
signed to other similar dutv. Our line of battle
on the right bank of the Chickahominy, as I
have informed you, pressed so close to the re
bel lines that neither could advance a regiment
outside of their respective breastworks without
provokiDg battle.
On Wednesday, June 25, General McClellan
made the first dieti-’Otlvj'.ff:osive movement,
by directing Gen Hoolier to take up an ad
vanced position on Fair Oiks farm, near the
Williamsburg road. It provoked a sharp re
sistance, which we overcame, and accomplished
our object. It was pronounced an important
achievement by Gen McClellan himself, be
muse it gave him advantages over the rebel
position which he had not enjoyed before.
Some time during, the night, however, tidings
were received of a movement of Stonewall
Jackson on cur right wing. It was deemed
hazardous to maintain the advantage of the
previous day, and the line was ordered to re
sume its old position. Thursday afternoon the
anticipated attack upon our right wing was
made, and handsomely repulsed; but it was
discovered that it bad not been made by Jack
son’a command. Information was received that
Jackson was sweeping down the Pamnnkey,
probably to capture military stores at the White
House, to cut off our communication with our
water base, and menance our rear.. Orders
were given at once to destroy all public proper
ty at the White House and evacuate that point.
Matters began to assume a critical appearance,
and danger culminated ia the disaster of Fri
day. It was then fnlly determined to “change
the base of operations to James river.” The
great retrograde movement was really begun
Friday evening, by the transfer of headquarters
from Trent’s Bluff to Savage Static n, but the
grand exodus did not commence until Saturday,
and did not swell into fnil proportions till
nightfall of that Uaj r .
In order to preserve the mora’c of the army
as far as possible, and obtain supplies of am
munition and subsistence, it was determined
to carry through all tho wagons loaded, and the
ambulance train—making a mighty caravan—
vastly increased by artillery trains. There was
but o o narrow road to pursue. It struck al
most due south from the Williamsburg road,
through White Oak swamp, to the Charles City
road, into which it debouched about eight
miles from Turkey Bend, on James river. The
course then lay up the latter rood toward.-
Richtnond, where it struck a little southwesi
by the Quaker road, which terminated in New
Market road, leading from Richmond Th<
river was but a short distance south, and Mal
vern H 11 —a beautiful, lofty bluff, overlooking
the river and commanding the surrounding
country, being our goal. Although there was
but a single road—with slight exception—it hart
the advantage of coursing through White O.ik
swamp, upon which we might rely in somt
degree for the protection of our flanks. There
was great danger that the enemy might cut us
off by moving columns down the Charles City
Central or New Market roads, or all three, bat
these chances were necessarily accepted Gen
eral McClellan acted upon the supposition that
the enemy would not guess h's determination
until he was able to defeat their movements. —
At all events, it was the only hopeful course,
because the enemy was watching for him on
the left bank of the Chickahominy. The events
will now be recorded in their order. The
affair at Fair O iks farm was the real beginning
of the dreary drama. The Mechanicsville bat
tie was the second act, which you will new
reaff :
BATTLE OF MECHANICSVILLE.
On the 36th a tierce battle was raging on the
left bank of the Cbickahominy, on the east side
of Beaver D tm creek. Our extreme right wing,
consisting of McCall’a Pennsylvania reserves.
8,500 strong, with live batteries, were strongly
entrenched there in admirable position for de
fence. Information, leading General McOlel
lan to expect an attempt upon his right, had
been received during Wednesday night, and w.
were well prepared for resistance. Gen. Fltz
John Portet’s corps, consisting of Morrell’s
division of volunteers, and Sykes’ regulars,
some 5 000 strong, increased by Duryea’s 7. >u
aves, was posted uear New Bridge, within sup
porting distance. General Stoneman had alS'
been sent to Old Church with a regiment o<
cavalry and two of infantry, as a corps of ob
servation, and to chock 11 inking movements ;
or, if possible, to decoy the enemy down the
Pamuukey. At about noon a powerful cor is o
theeDemy, consisting of General A. P Hill’s
I>. 11. Hill’s, L mgstreet’s and Andersoti’s di
visions—then supposed to be Jackson’s force -
under command of General Robert E Lee,
crossed the river at Mechanicsvilie Bridge,
Meadow Bridge, and at At.let’s, and, betwe
one and two o’clock, attacked our ti mk. Tw<
regiments of Mead’s brigade, (McCall’s divi
sion) were in reserve, and one on picket duty
They did nut, at any time, tally engage the
enemy. General Reynolds’ brigade held thi
right and Seymour’s the left The fight wai
opened with artillery, at long range, but the
ouetuy, finally discovering our superiority in
this arm, ioreshortened the range and came in
to close conflict. He was evidently provoked
at his own inefficiency, since his shell were not
destructive to our uutrenohments, while our
gunners played upon his exposed ranks with
tearful effect. The tight seemed to increase l'<
fury as it progressed, and tinally became the
most terrific artillery combat of the war. I had
been accustomed lor months to the incessant
roar of heavy gnus, but until that period I hao
to comprehend the terrible sublimity of a great
battle with tield pieces The uproar was iuces
sant and dealenlng for hours. At times it seem
ed as if fifty guns exploded simultaneously,
and then ran off at intervals into splendid file
tiring —if I may apply iufantry descriptive
terms to catiuonading". But no language can
describe its awful graudeur. The enemy at last,
essayed a combined movement. Meantime our
force had beou strengthened by Griffith’s brig
ade, which increased the volume of infantry
fire, and Martludale’s brigade came up to be
ready for emergencies.
Their infantry tire had entirely subsided, and
! it wts obvious that thev were withdrawing un
der cover of their artillery. Onr own batteries,
which had opened in full cry at the start, had
not slackened an instant. Comprehending the
situation folly now, the cannoneers plied
themselves with tremendous energy to punish
the retreating foe. We have no sore means to
determine how many were slaughtered, but
prisoners wno were in the tight, and an intelli
gent contraband, who escaped from Richmond
the next day, and was al! over the field, are
confident that three thousand fell. Our loss
was eighty killed and less than one hundred
and fifty wounded. The conduct of onr troops
was admirable, aud the gaiiamry of the officers
conspicuous. Gen. McClellan was not in the
battle, but was at (Jen. Porter’s headquarters
nntil it terminated.
It" was now as -ertained from prisoners that
Stonewall Jackson had not Joined Lee. Hence
it was interred that he was sweeping dowu the
banks of the Pamuukey to seiza the public
property and to cut off our retreat in that di
rection. General Stoneman’s command was
moved swiftly down to watch operations there,
and orders were issued for the removal or de
structlou of all public stores at the White
House. The situation, apparently placid on
the surface, developed a troubled under-cur
rent. Gen. McClellan directed Gen. McCall to
tall back and take np anew ) osition in front of
onr military bridges to resist an attack which
was anticipated next day (Friday). It was
thought, if the enemy was not successfully re
pulsed, he could be drawn across our bridges
upon onr own terms, where he could be rough
iv handled. The command was given to Gen.
Fits John Porter, who controlled the troops
already mentioned, supported by a powerful
train of artillery, regular and volunteer,
•Meantime ail the trains and equipage of the
' right wings were withdrawn to Trent’s Bluff',
oh the rig tit bank of the river, during the night,
aud our wounded were conveyed to the hos
pita! at Savage Station—to be deserted, alas!
to the enemy they had beaten. All these facts
, indicated danger. Bat other evidences of it
i were not wsm.mg.
By daylight - Friday morning Gen. McCall had
t tin u back to the rear ot Gaines’ Mill, and is
troci of Woodbury’s bridge. Where he was
i k‘ his left j tiding the right of Butterfield's
fo- roaUug | n me woods and nt-ar the
: s*uiis of thicKahominy. Moreif was on his
: lu Ctrmre, and Geo Sikes, c lh caved*
ing are thousand regulars and Daryea’a Z >u
aVt-s, held the extreme n„hi—the line occupy
ing crests OI hills near the'Sew Kent rold
some distance east by south of Games’ M>n.’
A portion of the position was good, but judi
cious generalship might hare found a beu*-,
and especially it might have been amended by
posting the left fl ink upon a swamp, which was
impassable beyond peradventure. Besides, the
line was so disposed that it was next to impos
sible to use our artillery advantageously by the
very arm in which we have enjoyed undoubted
super! irlty. N Hhing definite had yet been
heard of the enemy,' but it was assumed that
he would appear si ranger than yesterday. Ac
cordingly, Gen. Slocum’s division, about eight
thousand strong, was moved across the river to
support Porter, although it was deemed nazard
ous in consequence of a pending attack along
our whole front. But there was no alternative;
Gen. McClellan had only so much material,
and it was imperative that he should uie it ac
cording to unavoidable necessity. He writes
of the'
battle of qaines’ mill, Friday, June <th
The battle opened about one o’clock by
skirmishing, particularly in front of Griffith a
brigade, near the mill, and by an rtihery attack
from tne battery planted in the orchard near the
Gaines house. Tue enemy felt our position
rapidly, and along the svho e line at tne same
time, showing that he was in full force. By two
o’clock there had been several conflicts be
tween opposing regiments, without any panic
ular result, save that our men steadily main
tained the line. About this time General Grif
fith’s brigade, whose front was covered by
Borden’s sharpshooters, advanced through to
the edge ot the woods toward Gaines’ Mill, and
made the first important opening of the battle.
The enemy at once replied. The Ninth Massa
chusetts, Colonel Cass, a strong and brave regi
ment, with the Fourth Michigan and Four
teenth New York, had the principal position.
The Sixty-second Pennsylvania took position
on the extreme right, where the enemv appear
ed very strong. Weeden’s .hode Island battery,
from position iu r ear of the woods, plied sjheil
and solid shot with accuracy and effect. This
was the earliest collision between our forces
and the enemy. . .
The action Immediately began with vigor on
the extreme right, held by General Syke-.’ di
vision, composed of General Warner’s, C donel
Buchaoan’s and Colonel Chapman’s brigades.
These brigades supported Weed’s, E i ward’s
and Tidball’s batteries, all regulars. The enemy
attacked very fiercely, charging repeatedly, but
were as often repulsed.
The enemy delays their as-ault upon our left
for some time. A brilliant episode occurred
on the left of Martindale’s brigade, where the
Thirteenth New York, and the fire-proof and
scarred veterans of the Second Maine were
posted. A brigade of Alabamians moved up
over the creat ol a hill in splendid styl;; even,
ready and resolute, with arm* at right boulder
shift, ready for a charge. “Up an.l at them,”
was the word along our line, and the two regi
ments which had lain concealed in the low
growth of timber in the valley sprang to their
feet, and one piercing, terrible volley of death
dealing Minies was poured into the ranks of
tho confident enemy.
The hill was cleared as though swept by a
hurricane. Oaeof the regiments left their colors
and battle-flag upon the field. The regimensal
color was secured by C lonel Roberts, of the
Second Maine, and the battle-fl ig by Captain
Sullivan, of the Thirteenth New York, who
followed the retreating enemy ad secured it.
Captain Sullivan found the field literally cover
ed vith the rebel dead, there being over eighty
near the spot where the colors fell.
At ihree o’clock the action had become gen
eral along the whole line. Btonewall Jackson’s
column had formed a junctioowwith Lee, and
soon attacked our rignt with great vigor and
portinacity, but be tuet a galling fire from E 1-
w ird’s, Martin’s and Weeden’s batteries, winch
sent him reeling back in disorder. Again lie
gathered his columns, supported them by Iresb
troops, agam advanced, extending his lines as
if to flank our right, and renewed the attajek
with greater ferocity than ever, to be again re
pulsed with terrible slaughter. Sykes’ regulars
and Warren’s brigade, in which the Duryea
Z >uaves and B-adix’e Tenth New York regi
ment, played a brilliant part in this portion of
the engagement, the Zouaves especially fight
ing with a desperation and tenacity only to be
expected from such superior men. They snf
fered largely, their peculiar uniform being the
especial mark of ten thousand rebel soldiers.
The tactics ot the enemy were soon made
apparent. It was in massing troops and malt
ing sudden onslaughts on this and then
on that portion of our columns, by which he
expected to break them somewhere, and defeat
if not route ns. His next movement was
against our centre. Part of Jackson’s column,
reinforced by a large body from Hill’s division,
now made a desperate onset against the centre,
the North Carolina regiments being placed in
front, and literally compelled to fight. Here
the conflict was long and bloody, and raged fir
nearly two hours with great violence. The
columns surged backward and forward, first
one yielding and then another. An idea of the
great magnitude of this portion oflhe fight may
be obtained, when I say that this part of the
line was successively reinforced by McCall’s
reserves—the brigades of General Newton, Col
onel Bartlett and Colonel Taylor ot Slocum’s
division —and it was not until the last fresh
brigade was burled againsi them that they were
beaten back. In this part of the engagement
we took about fifty prisoners, who said that in
just that part of the engagement tho entire
force of Longsfeet’s and Hill’s divisions and a
part of Jackson’s column participated. Prob
ably the most desperate-fighting of the day took
place upon this part ot our lines and at thi*
time. Here it was that we suffered our heavi
est losses, and the field presented a rn >st sun
guinary hue. The fighting was done princi
pally by musketry—a thick pine woods inter
vening between our batteries and the enemy
preventing the former getting the range of ihtf
latter.
MaDy of our regiments suffered here to the
extent of 08e-third ol th“ir men. But nearly
all q 4 them stood their ground with firmness,
oehaving most gallantly.
The - Sixty-second Pennsylvania, of Griffin’s
brigade, met an overwhelming force of tne ene
my, who took them on the fimk. and, after,a
desperate resistance, they succeeded in repuls
ing the regimeut, killing the Colouel, Samuel
W. Black, and wonuding Lieut. Col Sweiizer.
fbe regiment broke and retreated, and was the
first to come off the field in disorder, the men
f igbtened and panic-stricken at the death of
their beloved Colonel. The regiment was not
reformed.
Finding he conld not force our centre, the
enemy gradually threw his columns against our
left, pressing Martlndale’s right wing very hard,
where he met a gallant resistance from the
Twenty-second Massachusetts and Second
Maine regiments, as bravo veterans as ever
shouldered a musket.
Suddenly the everlasting roar of musketry
increased in volume toward the extreme left,
and the conflict seemed to grow fiercer than at
any previous time. This was abont six o’clock
and as I galloped over the field I looked back
and around upon the most sublime scene that
the fierce grandeur and terrible reality of war
ever portrayed. The thousand continuous vol
leys of musketry seemed mingled in the grant)
roar of a great cataract, wnile the louder and
deeper discharge of artillery b .untied forth
over those hilts and down the valley with a
volume that seemed to shake the earth beneath
us The canopy of smoke was so thick that
the sun was gloomily red in the heavens, while
the clouds of dust in the rear; caused by the
commotion of advancing and retreating squad
rons of cavalry, was stilling and blinding to a
distressing degree.
For one hour and a half our left line with
stood this terrible shock of battle. Butter
field, with hat io hand,' rallied, cheered, ■ i 1. and
his men forward again and again. Tuough
decimated at every discharge, losing heavily in
officers, and, with an overwhelming force in
iront, they sail continued to tight. The gal
lant Col. McLane and Msj ir Nagle, of the 88 i
Pennsylvania, fell death-stricken, while line
officers were stricken down by scores and men
by the hundreds.
They thus saw It was in vain to longer con
Unite. Tae right was giving away rapidly, and
black crowds of retreating men could be seen
making their way towards the river, they hav
ing cut their way through the opposing host
wnich assailed tuetn in front, in Hank aud in
rear, and fell back uoon the river, crossing up
on the remains ot Enerson’s brigade, which
had been blown up by our forces during the
fight, and gatheref together their scattered
columns in the camp of Smith’s division. A
part of the bri ade had been withdrawn by the
right flank, and with them Gen. Butler, who,
notwithstanding the thousand dangers that he
risked, escaped unharmed, one bnliet having
passed throttgh the rim of his bat and another
bent his sword double. '
When the leitgave way, the centre, and fin
ally the right, was also pressed back, and the
retreating columns soon became mingled into
one black mass of troops. The infantry sup
ports having fallen back, Alien’s, Weeden’s,
Hart’s and Edward’s batteries were left ex
posed. When the order to fall back reached
the middle hospital, one of the three houses,
about equi-distantfrom each other, on the road
to Woodonry’s bridge, quite a stampede took
place among the stragglers wbo had there con
gregated, most oi them being men who had
been detailed to bring in the woauded from
their regiments and who had tailed to return.
They made a rush tor the bridge, followed by
some of the troops, but before they reached the
last hospital near the end of the bridge they
were speedily and summarily checked. About
seven o’clock Meagher’s and French’s brigades
crossed the bridge and advanced at double
quick up the bill, forming in line of battle be
yond the hospital, and swooping np the strag
glers with a round tarn. In almost less time
than it takes to write it, a scene of indesenba
ble excitement, of mingled contusion and dire
ui disorder, had been obliterated; yes, literally
crushed, aud comparative order restored out of
almost chaos by the prompt, energetic aud
fearless action oi brave officers. As ibe rush
ing ana retreating ude began to pear prtc pi
lately toward the t>ndg-, ad r u officers i., my
own sight drew their sabres ani pistols, placed
themselves is front of the straggling crowd,
and evert device that physical and mental na
ture could invent, rallied and formed colama
after column of men from tho broken mass that
swept over the plain.
Probably the greatest carnage of this bloody
day was produced by the incessant discharges
of double-shotted canister from the "'ro-.ze Na
poleons of Martin’s battery. He bacl taken up
a position in the hollow botween two fmall
hills. The enomf advanced from the opposite
side In solid column, on double-quick, with
arms at right shoulder shift, not being able to
see the battery until they reached the crest ot
the hill, within one hundred yards of it, when
Martin opened a bitter surprise upon them
sweeping them from the field like chad ocloro
a storm, Twice again they formed and advanced
their officers behaving splendidly, but it was
useless ; Martin’s fierce leaden rain being t.,0
terrible to with3taua. The advance of ihe fresh
troops having checked the enemy, and night
coming on, the conflict ceased, and both parties
quietly lay on their arms.
Calamity brooded over all Few had oppor
tunitv to rest, not many could fiud wherewith
to apppase hunger, and mind as well as body
wa afflicted. Both were jaded and reduced.
Losses we were obliged to estimrte. Official
r-pirts, there were none. Ot material, Fiiz
John Porter’s command lost twenty pieces of
artillery, and the arms, with accoutrements,
which belonged to men who were lost. Of
dead, wounded and missing there were seven
thousand or upwards. Col. Edmund Pendie
ton, of a Louisiana regiment, (Col. Pendleton
formerly resided in Cincinnati), who was cap
lured on Monday, June 30 b, assured me that
on that day the rebels captured four thousand
live hundred prisoners. Our dead he estima
ted, from examination on the field, at three
hundred. Of the wounded there is no account
It is reported that the rebel loss is still more
awful.
It is claimed that the battle was badly man
aged. This is no time for criticism; besides,
the data is not absolutely reliable. It is certain
we were beaten in strategy and grand tactics. We
wtyre beaten It was a melancholy satisfaction
to know that we occupied the field.of battle
after the conflict was ended. We had about
30 000 tnen engaged—perhaps 35 000 The ene
my had four divisions employed, besides J tek
soa’s admirable army of 40.000 or 35,000 discip
lined troops.
Duryea’s Z maves, clad in crimson breeches
and red skuil-eaps, suffered terribly, their con
spicuous uniforms drawing upon them an awful
lire wherever thev appeared in 'he field.

The following interesting extracts are taken
from the herald of the loth :
LATEST FROM PORT ROYAL.
The steamer Ericsson - bad arrived at New
York, with dates to the 10th instant, from Port
Royal. The Northern papers have the lollow
ir g summary of uews by her ;
There was no movement of troops going on
when the Ericsson left all available transports
being used to convey the troops from James
Island to Beaufort aud Hilton Head.
The health of the troops around Hilton Head
is getting somewhat impaired by the heat ol
(.lie weather. The prevailing diseases are ty
phoid fever, billious fever and diarrhoea, the
latter somewhat malignant. The wounded in
the hosp ials are suffering dreadfully from the
heat and vermin, which are increasing daily.—
All Wounded men able to stand the latigue of
removal are sent North, as at Hilton Head tfie
air and water are not beneficial to their wel are.
General Hunter has issued an order directing
the contrabands to be taken from fatigue duty
and while soldierfl put in their places. The
soldiers are g umbling at this measure, and
several fights between them and the negroes
have taken place.
The rebels have repossessed Jiyies and Bird
Islands, which were abandoned by the Federal
tr >ops, demolished the batteries and burnt up
everything inflamable about the places, and
among others a number of Quaker guns.
Fort Pula=ki is gairisoned by eight companies
of the Forty Eighth New York volunteers.
Capt. Palmer, of the Seventh Connecticut,
died on tbeSth instant, of typhoid fever. Ilis
body arrived also in the Ericsson
Just previous to the sailing of the steamer
th re was a rumor at PortPojal of a skir
mish in the vicinity of Port Royal Ferry
Four Regiments were at once despatched to
the place
The negroes are getting daily more and more
impudent, and openly boast that they receive
betierfood than “de white srjers.” They are
getting fresh bread daily, while the soldiers
are living on crackers.
The negro camp is guarded by their own
men, who are armed, and insis l upon duo re
spect being paid to their setninels. Captain
James, who omitted to return the salute of a
negro, was assaulted by the man, and but for
his belt which received the charge would have
been run through.
REPLY OF THE BORDER SLATE STATE RKI’RESEN
tat'Ves to Lincoln’s emancipation propo
SITION.
Washington, July 15.—The border slave S ate
represem'atives to-dav finally agreed upon their
reply to the President’s emancipation proposi
tion. It is represented as temperate and re
spectful. They cannot, for reasons Biated, en
dorse his policy, and differ from his belief that
the declining of these States to act upon and
adopt it has or will prolong the war
They join in the recommendation that these
States give it a respectful consideration, hut in
no way commit themselves to its support
Probably twenty members of Congress have
been in consultation upon the subject. 8 'me
of those trom the border slave States were not
present at the meetings, while othets have left
the city. Several will prepare a reply of their
own, the nature ol which ■ has not yet traas
ptred.
The Washington correspondent of the T3 Iti
more Sun wriies:
The slavery agitation, as it stands, has 6ever
al conflicting a*pec's. A port on ol the Con
gressmen from the border slave Stales have
signed an address to the President eountenane
lug his policy of emancipation >n such States
In th t they state tbe amount S6OO 000,000) to
be the S itn net ded to * ffect that object, though
they cue the grievances that tbe lo>al citizens
of the slave States have received at the hands
of the Abolitionists by the legislation of the
present session. The signers of the address
reserve to themselves the right to act as they
please in their private capacity on their return
to their States. CLber border State Represen
tatives decline to sign tbe address in question,
because they regard the proposed legislation as
unconstitutional and impolitic. Notwithstand
ing that the President has recommended a p r
manent appropriation lor emancipation, and
Congress has eudorsed the policy, yet the thing
is tabooed among the Republicans in the pub
lie places, and mme Senators ridi-uled to day
the ’di-a of compensating loyal masters for their
slaves who should be empl y< and in the army. A
maj >rity of the Republican Senators have pa
themselves on the record to that effect. Their
object is to get the n >mes ot negroes upou tho
muster rolls, not for auy good they can do i
hosiile operations, but in order to initiate
emancipation in the States by giving freedom
to such employed slaves, and to thyir mothers,
wives and cnildren.
LETTER FROM GENERAL BUTLER IN EXPLANA
TION OF HIS ORDER REGARDING THE LADIES
OF NEW ORLEANS.
The most curious and interesting piece ol
news we get from our Northern papers is the
following letter, written home by Butler, ex
plaining his reasons for issuing his infamous
order regarding the ladies of N.w Orleans:
Headquarters Dep’t of the Gulf, I
New Orleans, July 2, 1862 j
My Dear Sir :—l am as jealous ot the good
opiuiun of my friends as I am careless oi the
slanders ot my enemies, and tour kind expres
sions ia regard tqOrder No. 28 leads me to eay
a word to y.n on tbe subject.
That it ever could have been so misconceived
as it has been by some portions ot the Northern
press is wonderful, and would lead one totx
clatm with the Jew, “O Father Abraham, what
these Christians are, wuose own hard deal
ings teach them to suspect the very thought*
of others!”
What was the stale of things to which the
woman order applied ?
We were two thousand five hundred men in
a city seven miles long, by two to four wide, of
a hundred and fitly inousaud inhabitants, all
hostile, bitter, defiant, explo ive, standing lit
eraily on a magaz’ue; a spark only needed lor
destruction. Tne devil had entered the hearts
ol the women of this town (you know seven ot
them chose Mary Magdalen that residence) to
stir up strife in every way possible Every op
probrious epithet, every insulting g. stare, wa*
made by these bej weled. btcrinolmed and
lac<-d creitures call.ng themselves ladies, to
wards my soldi-rs and officers, from the win
dows ot nou=ea and in the streets. H>w long ,
do yon suppose our flesh and b:ood could have |
stood this aithont retort? Taai would lead to
diftuibances aud riot, from-which we mnst
clear the streets w th artillery—and then a howl
that we had murdered these fine women. I had
arrested' the men who hurrahed for B auregard
Could I arrest the women ? No. hat was to
he done? No order could be made save one
that would execute itseif. With anxious, care
lul thought, I hit upon this : “Women who in
sult my soldiers are to be regaaded and treated
as common women plying tneir vocation,
Prav how do you treat a common woman ply
ing her vocation in the streets ? Yon pass her
bv unheeded. She cannot insult you . A* a
"•emlemau you can aud will take no notice of
her It rhe speaks her words are n<t oppr -
brious. It is ---my when she becomes a con
tinuous and positive nuisance Gw you call a
wa c itnan and give her m charge to him Bu ;
sorneof he Northern editors seem to thins,
teat whenever one meets such a woman, one
H,u**i stop her, Uuk with her, iosuit her, or
h- id da l'auee with her, and so, from .heir con
duct, tb y coos on-*! my order.
l ueeUßorot the B ston Coarier may so deal
With common women, and oat ol theabon
dance of the heart hts mouth may speak- but |
jo do not L Why, these she adders of New Ur-
it:af<B iiieiri clvfs were in uuce btianitd into
propriety of conduct by tne order, and from
that day nc. woman bad either insulted or an
noyed any live boldier or officer, anil of a cer
t inty no soldier has insulted any woman.
When I pa.-sed through Haitimore on the
twenty third of February last members of my
Stuff were insulu and by tin - gestures ol the ladier?
there. Not so in New Orleans,
One cl the worst possible ol ail these women
showed disrespect to the remains ol tue gallant
young D; Kay, and you will see her punishment;
a copy ot the order, which I enclose, is at once
a vindication and a construction of my order
I can only say that 1 would issue it again,
under like circumstances. Again thanking you
lor your kind interest, I am truly, your friend.
Benjamin F, Butler,
Major General Commanding.
THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY.
A despatch dated Washington, 14. h instant,
says:
The following message from the President
was delivered to Congress to-day ;
Fellow-citizens of the Senate
and House ot Representatives ;
Herewith is the draft of the bill to compensate
any State watch may abolish slavery within its
limits, the passage of which, substantially as
presented, I respectfully and earnestly recom
mend. " Abraham Lincoln.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of Araer
ica in Congress assembled, That whenever the
president ot the United States shall be satisfied
that any State shall have lawfully abolished
slavery w thin and throughout each State, ei
ther immediately or gradually, it shall be the
duty ot he President, assis ed by the Secretary
of the Treasury, to prepare aud deliver to each
State au amount, of six per cent, interest bear,
iug bonds ot the United States equal to the
aggregate value at dollars per head ol ail the
slaves witnin such State as reported by the
census ol 1860, the whole amount lor any one
Stale to be delivered at once it the abolishment
be immediate, or in equal annual instalments,
it it be gradual, interest to begin running on
each bond at the time oi delivery, and not be
fore.
Aud be it farther enacted, That if any State
having so received any such bonds shall at any
time alterward, by law, re-introduce or tolerate
slavery within its limits, contrary to the a> tof
abolishment upon which such bonds shall have
been received, said bonds so received by said
State shall at once be null and void in whose
soever hands they may be, and such State shall
refund to the States all interest which may have
been paid on such bonds.
The House Secret Committee on Emancipa
tion in the Border States, will probably report
on the sut ject to-morrow. *
•The bill was referred ia the Senate to the Fi
nance Committee, and ia he House to the Select
Commiteee, especially charged with the cor,
sideration of the Border State question. There
is little probability that it will bo pa-sed this
session, or any time, in the shape in which it is
presented.
GENERAL POPE’S ADDRESS TO niS ARMY.
General Pope has issued the following “Ad
dress to the Officers and Soldiers of the Army
of Virgiuiu” :
By special assignment of the President of the
Uuited States, I nave assumed command of this
army.
I have spent two weeks in learning your
whereabouts, your condition, and your wants,
in preparing you for active operations, and in
placing you iu position from which you can act
promptly aud to ihe purpose.
I have come to you trom tho West, where we
have always seen the backs of our enemies—
from an army Whose business it iia3 bceu to
seek the adversary, and to beat him when
found—whose policy has been attack and not
defence.
Iu blit one instance lias the enemy been able
to place our Western armies iit a defensive al
titude.
I presume that I have been called hereto
pursue the same system, and to load you
against the enemy. It is my purpose to do so,
aud that speedily.'
lam sure you long for an opportunity to
win tho distinction you are capable of achiev
ing ; that oporiuiiity I shall endeavor to give
to you.
Meantime, I desire you to dismss from your
ruiuds certain phrases which I am sor.y to find
much in vogue among you.
I hear constantly of taking strong positions
and holding them—of lines ot retreat —and of
basts ol supplies. Let us discard such ideas
The strongest position a soldier should de
sire to occupy is one from which he can most
easily advance against the enemy.
Let us study the probable lines of retreat of
our opponents, and leave our own to take care
ot themselves.
Let us look before us, and not behind.
Success and glory are in the advance.
Dishonor and shame lurk in the rear.
Let us act on this understanding, and it is
safe to predict that your banners shall be iu
scribed with many a glorious deed, and that
your names will be dear to your countrymen
forever. John Pope,
Major-General Commanding.
