In the absence of space for the letters in exttnso we copy the following extracts fiom his account of the Srat battle of the 12th of May, and the part enacted by Borne of the iorth Carolina troops : Oi the 12th of May trie battle field lay. before dawn, enveloped in a hazy fog. At 4 o'clock in the morning of that day the hostile linps bnrst asnnder the sudden bidding of an electric wire, into a fierce cannonade. An cx ; rr ion in ita ftiddennes, it rayed from the tirxt moment of it3 opening, in the full depth of ita fnry. The rnetalic peal of the 6fIid l,nf, the sharp clap and the first crash of the shfdl roso from side to side with rapidity. They seemed to shake the very e?rth with their thunders. That terrific storm, while undiminished in depth, underwent immedi ately after its first outburst a change in char acter ; for the sharper peals of shut and shell were succeeded in a moment by the duller thuds, that hurling forward grape and canis ter, told of a struggle deepened into the stern ness of close quarters. The suddenness of the thunders with which the artillery rent the air was not greater than that with which the deafening stotm burst from the infantry. The musketry that fol lowed immediately after the very firs, gun, w.is so great in volume from its openings'that it bespoke clearly the presence of largo mas ses of men. 'Rising in a deep roll, one and unbroken, its blended ringing declared that the hostile thousands from whom it swelled up must have" met in conflct, hand to hand. The peals in quick succession of the artillery, did not drown its voice ; but on it wpnt dis tinctly, a flowing roar that roso to Heaven, like the constant outcry of a rushing river. Divination was not necessary with all those evidences to.tell ne ns'l r tie from my blan ket in the rear, that, as in the case of our own conflict at '.Inkerman, an attack, prepared with deliberation in close proximity to the Confederate lines, had moved suddenly from the cover of the morning fog. 9 Gen. J. M. Jones' brigade occupied the salient. On the left of Jones' men were formed the Stonewall, under Walker, and nest in. order of the line of battle, the Lomsianians under Hays. The right of Joiies who, be it r collected, held the salient rested on the brigade, of Stuart. Such was the distribution on the morning of tbe 12th, behind the breast V orks of Ewell's right wing, of the men con stituting the division of Gen. Kdward John ston. Oft the right of this division was au unoccupied part of the works about two hundred yards in length, and further on that staunch brigade of Wilcox's division Lane's. Such was the array and strength of Ewell's right on the morning of the 12fh. Johnston, informed at 3 o'clock, A. M. thst the enemy was massing in his front, sent off in hot haste for guns to replace those that had been removed troiu his works dining the night. 9 tt Gen. Johnston had no sooner become aware of the exact point of the attack than he rushed towards the salient. He was too Jate. .The column that had burst from the fogpon that weak point, had it already in possession. The three regiments which had been left in line for its defence, had tied before the storming mass, without firing a shot. Johnston, caught in th.3 rush of friend and foe, was made pris oner, and was thus left, by the bad conduct of some of his own men, to waste his brave spirit ir.cfifW-iiy in 'prison. Ill bravery is .of the intinc. ')!:. conduct ats a general officer was marked hy constancy and address. A great 1 favorite with Lieutenant General 'Kwell, he 'wft'j'kuown amongst the rank and tile, in affec ! donate recognition of his courage $nd obsti nacy, as "did Blucher." The salient carried and one-half of Junes' men killed, wounded or captured, the enemy poured through the Confederate line in im mense force. The Stonewall brigade, on the immediate left of the'gap thus opened in the Conff derate ranks, became exposed on the right tlank. Gen. Walker, its chief, attempted im mediate!) to swing that wing around ; but while in the act, was disabled by a very jevere wound in the side. Pressed hotly by tlve Federal advance, that movement became then, after evetf the brief delay consequent on that accident, impossible. The pressure upon its Hank having commenced, many of the men forced into disorder were killed, - wounded or captured ; ut several of the regiments wheel ing into position behind the short traverses running back from their breastworks, disputed every foot of the ground they held with a steadiness worthy of their traditions. Col. Terry, while holding, with unflinching firrn Dess, one of those short fronts, received a se vere wound The Stonewall brigade, howev er, overborne by the movement upon itsfliuk, was finally forced back; and what of it vs neither captured, wounded nor killed, found protection bthind the b;ittle array of the brig side that bad been in line on its left Hays' Iiouisi.miann. Stcuart's brigade, on the right of the regi ments that bad occupied the salient, was ta ken bv the surging masses of the Federalists in tlank. Those of them who were neither c.iptured, killed or wounded, found shelter be hind the brigade that had been in line upon their right -Lane's, of Wilcox's division. Engaged in front with a heavy column of the enemy, Lane, on learning of the miscarriage at the salient, became alarmed for his left flank ; and having immediately swung his line around almost squarely with the original po sition, encountered the enemy V tTtumphaut advance. Charging in fine style, he drove it back alter a contest that must have cost it dearly. His North Carolinians thus won the plory of being the first to stem the tide of Fed eral victory ou the right. ' , . While the Stonewall brigade fought and fell hack, that next on its left Hays' hl time to swing round. Colonel Alonaghan,its fctrtor Colonel, being in command, it confronted the rushing advance to the left. Standing behind a traverse that extended perpendicularly from the original position of the brigade, it pre tented a front as firm as a ledge of rock. The wave of the enemy's triumph, Purged up to tiut barrier ; but, hayiDg broken upon it in mere spray, left the ljnor of the arrest of ita overflow on that side of the field t those houseless, laudleaa warriors of Louisiana. Between HyV men on the one a?d, and Lano oti Ihe other, the Federalist haLdrir en all eppositioa from their path. For a width of a mile they had swept the works of their defenders ; but, though complcixf mas ters within that limit, were confront by au impassable barrier on the one hand and on the other. Pouring through the gap they had made, their ma'we? formetl rapidly from the rivht and from the leffc, with the view of turn ing the line of Hays tui that side and Lane i,u this, by pressure cn those t Ulcers' exposed flanks. , Apprehension of attack during the night on the front of Hay, had Ted to tbe transfer to its support of the fine brigade of Pegram. . Tho other brigades of the division trader the- com mand of Gordon two were, at the time of the assault upon the salient, half a mile to the left. Springing forward without orders, Gordon moved at double quick " in the direction of tbe fire that had burst upon the dawn in sudden thunders. Rushing into the fog, he could see neither friond nor foe; but, guided by the in stincts of a soldier, -still sped forward rapidly under the bidding of tbe -battle's hoarsest roarr Tbe thick haze into whose, unkown depths he drove on, soon lit . its murderous terrors, as he closed into the conflict, with lurid flashes ; and, in the next moment, flung out a sheet of lightn ing that hurled about ihe ears of his advancing ranks a very tempest of bullets. Gordon had come tip in column. General R. D. Johnston'i Brigade, first upon the field, he threw rapidly into line, and launching it against the enemy through the fog, checked the advance. Hiving arrested, thus at one point, tbe surging ranks of tbe foe, he sought to stop him as they swept around his right. The tor ment streaming rapidly in that directum, he was about to be borne back by the flank, when, bn'aging up his own brigade, its firm line pre sented to the river-like rush an additional width of barrier The liviDg flood of Federal triunph dashingagainst .it in vain, 'swept still faTtber around, again threatening the Confederate right with destruction under a rapid movement upon its.flank. Gordoa having by that time brought u p h i s thi r d brigad e Pegram's formed i t u uder the command of ColoDel Hiiffmau; somewhat detached from the others, across the new faont of the enemy's advance. The whole line then delivered a murderous volley into the dim mas ses of human life that stood before it shrouded aod very, very many of them winding-sheeted in that morning fog. Instantly seizing the colors of the centre regiment of his own brigade, Gordon spurred forward under a storm of bul lets, ordering a charge. His men rushed upon the misty ranks that they had just cut gashes through with their deadly fire. Their fury bore down all resistance. The charge had be come a chase. Huddling the Fe(rcralists in headlong flight over the breastworks that had been held during the night by Steuarf, thft murderous race was contiuued for half a mile beyond. Opposition had disappeared before the pursuit.; still, however, it held Us way in unabated fury. Starting out suddenly froru the fg upon a hostile force in Hue, Gordon's de maud for surrender having, in the confusion of his sudden appearance, obtained no reply, the Federalists fell where they bad but a moment before stocd in lusty life, a battle array of dead and dying ! The enemy still held the ground be bad won on Stuart's left. Gordon falling, there fore, back, occupied the works he had carried so gloriously. His charge 'had cost the Con federates the services for a time . of Brigadier General li. D. Johnston. That gallant oC-lcer was disabled by a wtind that is, however, not very severe. Col. Jones, a soldier of high promiso, lay upon the field wounded n.ortally. Lieut. Col. McArthur and Col. Garretf, both officers of ability, gave up upon that field their life'-blood in manly assertion of the liber ties that have been handed down to them from oiir comraim ancestors of-the days of itunney meade. Terribly, hoover, were the Con federate lives lost in that movement avenged. For a width of three hundred yards tbe Fed eral slain were scattered oyer a length of thrne quarlers of n mih' ; and, in all the open h 1 Is included withiu that space, lay in sickening slaughter. FoU' guns that, had been taken at the time of the enemy V advance were, during the charge, recaptured ; and in the absence of horses, tent by manual labor for some diitanc to the rear. The Federalists eoiitiinio'l to hold their ground in the salient; and along the. line of works to the lft of that angle within a short distance of the position of Mor.aghan's Hay?,' rjuiniauians. l!amseur,s North Car idiniilns of Kudos' division formed, covering Mouaghan's right; and, ordered to crs irge, were received by the enemy with a stubborn resistance. The desperate character of t ie struggle along that brigade-front was told terribly in the hoarseness 'and rapidity of its musketry. So close was the fighting thore for a time that the fire of "friend and fe rose up rattling in one common roar. Kamscur's North Carolinians dropped fr- m the ranks thick and fast; but still be continued with glorious eonKtaney to gain ground foot by toot. Pressing under a fierce fire, resolutely on, on. on, the struggle was about to become one. of hand to band, when the Federalists shrunk from that bloody trial. Driven back, they were not defeated. The earthworks being at the moment in their immediate rear, they bounded to the opposite side; and, having thus placed them in their front, renewed the conflict. A rush of an instant brought Kam seur's fellows to this side of the defences; and, though they crotfehed close to the slopes, under enfilade from the guns of tho salient, their musketry rattled in feep and deadly fire on ihe enemy that stood in overwhelming num bers but a lew yards from their front. Those brave North Carolinians had thus, in one of the very hottest conflicts of the day, succeeded iu driving the f.nemy from the works hat had beeu occupied during the previous night by a brigade which, until the 12th of May, had never yet yielded to a foe the Stonewall. The Confederate line had been re-established by Ramseur to the position held during the night by Geh. J. M. Jones' left; it had been restored by Gordon to the point occupied during the same time by Jones' right. The gap originally made remained, however, still jn the possession of the enemy ; and with it all the guns with the exception of the four retaken by Gordon that hail been . captu red at the time of the rush into the salient. Through that the Federal masses swept out betweeu the flank of Gordon of Pegram's brigade on the one hand, and of Rtmseur on theother, endeavoring, by movements to the right and to the left in conjunction with heavy attacks in front, to give "the anrecovered space greater width. Thy still protruded from the opn interval between the 2aak of those officers, and co itioued to press ,till forward with the view of preventing h;r con nection by an intervesfnj army of tattle. Moving out iu treraenduij force with' th? ul timate pnrprfte of driving them still farther apart and of turning thair line. . thy were encountered by ' the stern fronS pf Battle's AUbamiauj of Rode's Divisiou. . . , Battle met the crushing weight of, the adU vance unaided. He sought to iurert his. line between Gordon's' left Pegram's ijier-nd the right of the brave fellows under rTauiseur. Receiving the sSock of the - forward move ment as a rritk hurls back a wave of the sea, he pressed after the recoil, foot by foot. C lur ing in on it slowly, he succeeded, after a severe struggle, in pressing it back into the breastworks of the salient for a .psrivJsji-ft- recollected, a "double sap under a , fire of musketry that exceeded anything I ever heard in its rapidity and volume It roared unceas ingly , a very river of death. Forcing his way on with heroic resolution, now straining forward ; then standing iu obstjnate resistance; and next, for a moment, yielding stubbornly, as the mortal struggle swayed from side to side. Batt'e kept, with indomitable courage, laboring onward, inch by inch. Aided by the fire of Ramseur's men on the left flank of the Federalists, he succeeded finally in driving them from a part of the works on that officer's right. conclusion in our next.")
