THE BATTLE OP RICHMOND
The Richmond “Enquirer," of June 27th, was
♦he only paper we received from that city onSa,
•urday. The following is all that we find in it in
reference to the conflict near Richmond
THS E.VOAOIMRXT OK WIDSKHDAT,
We presented yesterday a general view ot the
engagement ol Wednesday, below Ricbinond.-
kccouots j .st r—eived inform us ol a display of
heroism on the par* of our troops which is ala
most without parallel. When the first Louia
.aua entered tLe field, they were alone ; three
brigades of'he enemy came forward to meet
tumi • and taking advantage of their strength,
threw out th nr flanks to enclose and capture
•Bent. The galliot Louisianians, undaunted,
ooured volley after roller back at tbeui as they
retired, and when they saw that they were about
to he Hanked, twenty voices from the Regiment
shouted forth. Remember Orleans bojs, and
Butler the Beast !” Thev charted through the
enclosing lidih with the bayonet and escaped,
saving one hundred and twenty two kilted,
wounded and missing, behind. But they had
not retreated over a hundred and titty yards be.
.re several regiments from their brigade ar
-h -o their relief. They returned with these, !
,rg I u ion the enemy, drove them back, and
.evvrred their deadend wounded, missing but |
in ■ in in from the whole number lost. They I
lt ;pt II > the pursuit until the enemy ceased firing
entirely, and stopping for breath carried back '
the fallen and took up a position near their !
original outpos’s.
About five o’clock in the evening, some demon
strati ns on the part of the enemy attracting uur
attention, the 49th Virginia was sent forward,!
drove in their pickets, and soon came upon their
advance guard A severe skirmish ensued, in :
the 'Didst of which the 12th Virginia, the 3d Al- 1
abatna, and one or two other regiments of Mu- 1
Bi oe's Brigade, whose names we could not learn,
went up, and pitching in with vigorous energy, I
drove the en-trv hack, inflicting upon them a (
punishment they will have cause to remember.;
In the meantime our batteries at th&hpoint open-, !
•eii upon them. The enemy replied, arid wheu the
.nfantry fighting was concluded, the artillery duel 1
was still raging anu coutinusd with unkuowu re
sult until ten o'clock ai night.
We have seen a stimm iry of the killed, wound
ed and missing on our side in both engagements;
tot are unable to present the list to our readers
to-day. Thejwhole number amounts to three bun
dred and nine two, of which not more than siktv
or seventy are kill-d. We noticed among the
killed Captain Smith, of the Albany Uuards, 4th
Georgia, and Lieut Ward, of the Lafirange j
Rifles, of the same regiment. We publish a list
Ol the’wounded in other regim«»‘» who have »r '
i-tt.d at ltie Kent Hospital. The remalodor arc
distributed in other hospitals in the city. The;
enemy's toss was at least twenty.five btnd-ed. i
THK RNGAUZMENT OK IBSTSSDAV
On yesterday, until about four in the afternoon, I
* _JL nulet Then our forces openetl upon the
enemy on «be left of our line. Hill's division !
commenced the overall n, and aided by our ar
Miltry drove the emmv from their position,
aci ossthe Ohickahomtny, took poswssion of Me
chanicsville. and pursued them far some distance,
ifbeir batteries at M chanicsville fell into our
hands and were turned against them as they ,
fleft For a short tuns there was a cessation ot :
hostilities Thev were renewed again soon after,
but wholly With artillery The firing c.mtiuued ;
fiercely until alter dark, and couriers who ar
rived pronounced it the most rapidand incessant
thev had ever heard The result of course could !
not be ascertained Our lateai intelligence left
our gallant army holding firmly to the ground
they had gained, and preparing for a partial rest
upon their arfhs. ........ ,
Nothing could have e\reeded the brilliancy of
flic charge upon the enemy's battery on the
Chiekahominy, as our nun pursued them up the
Mechanicsvilie Turnpike. Their battery was
situated on the brow of a bill on the north side,
of the river, about a mile from, and commands j
log the bridge and the enure road. It wan
mounted superbly, and manned with a force suf
ficient to render it almost impregnable. Ac
cess to it was hazardous in the extreme.
Our forces bad to pass through the narrow de
file of '-he road through the swamp and over the
bridge, and rush st double-quick up me hill, in a
contracted column upon the battery. The bre
upon them was exceedingly severe, but firm and
undaunted they rushed on, charged the battery,
drove out the enemy tn the wildest disorder, an 1
turned their own guns upon them.
The enemy is undoubtedly discomfited, and
should the engagement contmue and enlarge to- j
day must eud iii the utter rout of the army be- 1
fcre’us The recent movements of McClellan
prove his incapacity, and the co nduct of his
troops on yesterday and Wednesday convince us
that fcis defeat is certain.
v*s' Oar correspondent, "Ora," has referred, in
one of his late letters, to Mr. Deoegre, Randal
aad William Hunt, Judge Morgan and Mr. Parker, |
of New Orleans, as having taken the oath of slles
giaace. We are glad to find that the report in
reference to these cil Tens of New Orleans is not
credited here by gentlemen from that city who
are si joe rung in our midst. Mr. Denegre was
and is the. President of the Citizens’ Bank. He
has been as active as any other mau in sustaining
our G wernmeut. and has two sens now in ser
vice -one in the Fifth Co. of Washington Artil
ie. v, and the other in Virginia. The brother ot
Randal and William Hunt commands the Fifth
Regiment of Louisiana Volunteers; and Carleton
Hunt, a nephew, is now prisoner of war.
These gentlemen did not favor secession in tb»
first place, but when the State acted they were
perfectly loyal and true The same maj be said
of Judge Morgan and Mr. Parker, the late Sher
iff. The last report from New Orleans (as late
ua the 20fh inst.) is that not one of the good and
true men of known position and character has
taken the oath of allegiance to those now claim
ing to be their conquer »rs: and their courage,
under the circumstances, is worthy of all praise.
We trust that our people will not be ready to
believe any of the idle rumors tending to dis
parage good and true men, who have not now the
power of appearing to make their own vindica
tion. When the trai'ors become known to us w«
will mark them well, and remember them when j
bur day comes.

INCOMPETENT SOaOSONS.
An officer who has returned hum the army of
McCiellau, state 9 that quite a cumber of the Bur,
geons belonging to the diffarhat regiments, ace
totally incompetent to discharge the duties, and
that some of the wounded have been worse man
gled by them than they were by the bullets ol the
rebels. .Many of them are hard-hearted and un
feeling, and are not fit to associute with the Reb* ;
els who surrouud the camp. These cases should ,

Yesterday, some Rebel prisoners were brought
to Alexandria, where a number of Secession la
dies clustered around them, furnishing them with
dainty refreshments and choice flowers. This
was all well enough, but these same Indies gross*
