, It seems that this eminence was not used in
y-.ttack on the enemy's batteries, otherwise the
very great loss ol life might, to some extent,
have been obviated. The position of the ene
my, in conjunction with his riHe pits, that ex
tended lor some distance in front, no less than
our deadly disadvantage in ground, entitled
him to a sure check, it no more, of out victori
ous c lumns. At the foot of the hill which the
enemy held in full possession, runs a small
strinm lined by thick growths, from which ex
tends a bottom overgrown with weeds and
bushes to the line of the road, for the distance
of seventy or one hundred yards Such were
the odds against us in that awful comesu The
six feet mounds tell the sad tale. Along the
road in the bottom, by the stream side, inclose
proximity, lie the devoted sons of tic South.
Here the division of A. P. Iliil immortalized
it-elf. It was here manifested whatthe mipetu
ous charges of Southern chivalry can do against
puritanic hypocrites. Driven from their strong
natural position, strengthened by earthworks
and riHe pit--, their retreat continued over a
country interspeised with hill and dale, and
favorably situated lor a fleeing and dnconiGled
foe.
According as the country was favorable,
the artillery was frequently drawn up to sweep
our lines on their advance as they emerged
iroiu the woods. At several such points it was
observed oui loss had been very heavy. Thus
along the road, on cither side, on by Gaines’
Mill was the tight kept up, evincing by the
signs of death on the right and left, i.he stub-
horn nature of the enemy’s resistance, until
within close proximity to'Mrs. Watts’ house,
about one inilo from Goal Harbor. The posi
tion of the enemy at this point was little less
stroug than that occupied on Tuesday’s tight He
had taken possession of a slight elevation whicii,
in the rear, declined rapidly to a ravine for the
distance of lifty or seventy-five yards, and in
front sloped gradually for four or live hundred
yards to a heavy body of woods that covered his
entire front and right wing. Such was the po
sition Irom which the boastful Yankees bad
again to he driven by our conquering legions.
What brigades bore the most conspicuous part
in this terrible and bloody light, it is not for
me to say ; but that they behaved nobly in
front ol the deadly shelling of the enemy, when
the covert of the woods allowed no reply, and

Williamsburg road, wjyia 'liarles City road, the
Darby Town road anu the river road, coming
in the order of their names, and you have a cor
rect idea of the position and movements of the
enemy from Thursday evening the 20th to
Tuesday the 1st, inclusive. Having followed
and crossed this arc down to Savage’s station,
where their base of operations was cut off by
JacksoD, the enemy was compelled to strike by
a direct route for bis gunboats. How he man
aged to get there with a part of his trains des
troyed, his stores sacrificed to the amount of
millions, and yet with an army intact, capable
at different times of making headway against
victorious legions pressing so hotly on his rear,
will doubtless be told us in due time, after a
manner, by Gen. Lee and his satelites. After
the Sabbath, the day of rest, observed so well
at times, by our army, and then again not so
well, the enemy was found to be posted between
the Darbytown and river roads, in a country
somewhat undulating and almost equally cov
ered by wood and fields. In an open field of
no considerable dimensions, and surrounded by
woods the wily McClellan made his second
stand with his artillery commanding the road
and his shells capable ol doing execution on
the advancing army for a considerable distance.
The maiks of this battle tor an extended space
were still to be seen in graves and dead horses,
but the horrors and wonders that so till the
minds of excitable persons, in some way, had
all disappeared. This contest resulted most
decidedly in favor of the Confederates who en
joyed some of the fruits of victory in valuable
accessions to our artillery corps. The loss of
the enemy at this time was greater than on any
other field. Well supported rumor says that
in a ravine near this battle ground over eight
hundred dead Yankees were buried.
Again defeated and driven from his position
the enemy now fell back to his strongest hold
in support of his gunboats, a mile or more near
or to the river. The severity of this last con
test justifies a minute description of the field.
The intermediate country between this and
Mouday’.s battle ground, is for the most part
woods of second growth, occasionally relieved
by an old field, somewhat undulating, and now
and then traversed by ravines and branches.—
The opening in which lies the battle field of
Malvern Hill, is very nearly, if not entirely sur
rounded by woods. That portion of it where
the scene of battle was enacted, contains one or
two hundred acres, and on the enemy’s right
for one third the distance ol that side of the
field was bounded by a road leading to James
River. His right wing and front were entire
ly covered by the woods, a portion of w hich was
a pine thicket, while the only road of approach
was immediately from the woods by an acclivi
ty in front and in full view of the enemy’s po
sition. On the enemy's left and from our ex
treme right, which, with the whole army was

grappled in blood and wounds and
lor the mastery. To have seen
darkness threw its mantle over,
required no effort at highly wrought
"to paint one of the most thrilling and
’ ~.e same time heart-rending pictures this
'tattle-world has ever presented. A lew days
after, when scarce the sound of a bird or the
rustling of a leaf disturbed the stillness, and
when beasts as well as man had been interred,
it was still an affecting scene, where were the
many marks of the severe contest, in commin
gled tracks, and blood grown hard, and caps,
and cartridge boxes, and balls, and shells. In
front, as on the enemy’s right, in the woods,
were the signs of shelling and round shot, such
as no inexperienced mind could well conceive.
The pine thicket was literally torn to pieces.
It is now useless to inquire who lost the
most men. We were repulsed again and again
by bad management The enemy had retreat
ed under his gunboats and was safe. Thus
ended the mighty struggle, the like of which
in loss has seldom, in duration, never, been sur
passed. It remains in conjunction with this
narrative only to afford an idea of the enemy’s
loss as seen along the route of his retreat—
Though McClellan’s retreat may have been and
undoubtedly was a splendid military achieve
ment, yet the difference between that retreat
and the rout of his army, was just that mark
ed by the line which distinguishes the sublime
Irom the beautiful. It is seen and appreciated
only in its results. At any time on that march
from Savage's Static n to James river, one bold
stroko might havo forever annihilated that
grand army. From the first encampment on
the north of the Ch -kahominy to the banks of
the James, where is cast away the last bay
onet, the country is one scene ol wholesale
destruction. Everj thing that could not be car
ried away was either left in the haste of escape
or destroyed. One week after the contest was
over, numbers of articles of clothing could
have been saved fre n the river, while fine tents
cut into a hundred pieces stood standing sur
rounded by boxes and barrels innumerable,
once contained every article of comfort
luxury. Her and there could be seen
the torch ha .1 been applied to consuin-
he ruin.
risoner from Sew York told me that Mc-
n had destroy ed, of one article alone, one
.tmuo^red thousand nuskets. It would perhaps
-flairs i*vithin the hour is of reason to say the loss
ch- to the Grand Army in this magnificent retreat
—magnificent even in saving the army—does
not fall short of fifty millions of dollars. If
such a retreat did ot become a rout, it can be
accounted for only on the ground of imbecility
or drunkenness, or most probable, both com
bined. If Mr. Da''is swore, as somebody did
in Flanders, when Ihe drunken and libidinous
Maiyaider proved liroself to he—a donkey—
Tn^ountry may v ell ask, what right has he
to remove him from one command to another
to commit still mo e serious blunders, instead
of decapitating him and all that class once and
forever. That brave and true men—gentlemen,
patriots and Christians, should be led by drunk
