Ri,,l fnrthflr in advance of the foothold that had been secured in the n previously- by Rattle. Consolidating withm the defences thus far recovered on the loft of the salient, the fitrifc was renewed in "their front and very often so close to the muzzles of their rifles as the opposite .slopes of the breastworks behind which they crouched under enfilade from trie apfX of tbe salient. IVrrin's bil-jado of Anderson's divisinn, wit up to reinfoice Battle, formed behind some light works in the rear. Ordered to charge into the salient, its chief, as he rode at t l.oi.l rf ii lwft. wih. received a Minnio bullet in tho thigh. Tho femoral artery cut. he had hardly time to say "Carry me back hoys," when the poor fellow had bled to death. Two of his regiments had been, at the time, rushing at the works on tho light, under the direction of a gallant and promising young officer now commanding the brig.uin, Col. J. C. Saunders. They succeeded in making a lodgment in the defences on the left of Gor don. The other three regimeuts, bounding on to the left as Perrin fell, swept also without opposition into the breastworks on the right of the men of Harris nd McGaw.m. Toe width held by the enemy at the salient bad thus been reduced toabout one hundred yards; but, included within it, at the apex, a battery of artillery that, captured in the morning, swept both sides by enfilade. Capt. Wynne, the Adjutant General of Perrin's brigade, attempted to communicate with the Colonel commanding : out, venturing recMvesij . !l,:.t vinw nrrL kn immediate rojir of the vat- but, venturing recKiossiy wuu " n, : u unmnn .,M aimarcntlv survive returned to tho left, after having tun the gauntlet of tho enemy's s irmishers, with a painful wound in his arm. Saunders, in the meantime, threw out some of his Ala bnniAn n Ivat nshooter : and by the accu racy of their aimr succeeded in silencing the euus that had been hurling shell into his ranks in deadly tnlilade.Open'mg again, from lin.eto time, they burst upon him repeatedly jm but in a moment afterwards the hands by wliich they had bten worked fell "under his unerring rifles, stiff in death. The enemy's grasp upon the "double sap" at the angle of the salient, still undisturbed, Col. Saunders maiutained his ground, in this way, on both sides of it, with admirable n solution. From four o'clock in the morning nntil half past one, the struggle within the salient had raged in terrible fierceuess. At the expira tion of that time it sank into a comparative lull. The roll of the heavy skirmish-shooting went ou without, intermission, however, around that angle of bloul, and swelled, after a brief break in the main coutcst, into the furious roar of a renewed attack. The restor ed front on each side of the salient burst into thread like flashes; and from two o'clock, throughout the evening until nightfall and from nightfall until'miduight, and from mid night until the approach of tbe dawn ot the loth, a close and rapid fusilade rushed up in commingled roar from the-contending rauks. Atone time bursting through the 'gap on Gordon's right, aud endangering his flank : at others ragieg up to the face of the very works hid by that officer, by Saunders, by McGow au. bv H-irr I hv liattle. bv Uamseur, the conflict raged furiously , until, the enemy re- , ...... , w nr P-ocq hrmly at all points oi nis uun., i tilej, long after midnight, into the sharp and venomous whizziocs of the skirmishers.

Fourteen guns remained in possession of the enemy, nd with those four, costituted sub stantially the onl object of continuing the murderous struggle for the salient. The con ditirns of that contest had changed Lc'e policy of defence for that of attack : and had thus made a further tnaintainauce of it -highly inexpedient. A material advantage, of sme importance to the enemy, lay in the posses sion of the height on whicb the salient stooa; but even this did not, in the opinion f the (Jommander-in-Chief, justify an avoidable waste of tho lives of his men. Bafore dawn, on the morning of the 13th, a line of works fcad been thrown up by the pioneers of the 2d corps, tinder Maj: Green, half a mile in rear of the point to which the contest of the diy had been nnrrowed ; and, connecting tho origi nal defences on the right with those on the left, by a route considerably shorter, present ed a favorable position for return to the poli cy of defence. Covewd by skirmishing, tho gallant fellows who had fought their way so stubbornly oyer the bloody ground within the salient", into the works that had been cap tured by the enemy in his rush of the morn ing of the 12th, retired before day on the 13th, to that new line. In the battles of the Ny no officer earned such glory as Gen. Gordon. His admirabla Hank "movement at the Wilderness,' his repulsf of the enemy's rush through the position of D le, and his'dash and skill in stemming the Federal torrent from the salient on tho 12th, won the admiration of the army. Gen. Lie acknowledged, on the field, publicly, the great services of that officer, and, informing him at the time that he should ask for his promotion, has had him rowarded with tho rank of Major General. The battles, endiug with the rooming of tho 13th. bad clased. A" more stubborn contest tbau that or tho 12th has not been witnessed durieg the war. The losses of the Confederates dariog tkese struggles, include between two and three thousand prisoners, eighteen guns, and from six to eeven thousand killed and wounded. Those of the enemy in the conflicts eftbe 10th and of the 12th, iuciuding as they do the disaster at the hands of Early's flanking force, of the murderous repulses from, the front of Field, and from that of Dole, and the terrible havoc of Gordon's charge on the Tight of the salient, cannot hate been lcs3, in killed and wounded, than from twtnty to thirty thousand. The rotting dead found umburied ou the ground the Fed ralists occupied during thete contests present d a spectacle utterly horrible in the im mensity of their nuiaber. During the campaign the losses in Ewell's corps, according to an ofiicial statement of the chief of its medical staff Dr. Hunter Maguire does not exceed in killed and bounded, after summing the losses of each of its brigades up to the 13th of this month, 3,500. With this basis of approximate eetimate, and the further fact that the number of wounded that had been seut to the roar up to the 10th. hv those devoted men, the Richmond committee for the relief of tho wounded, had not reached, including those disabled by sicfoet?, ten thousand, there can be very little doubt of the conclusion that L.ee'3 total losses in kihvu and wounded, inclusive of the battle of the 12th, have not overran, at most, eleven or twelve thousand. About three thousand five humtrea prisoners added to that, the depiction of his forces by the battles of the campaign, up to this time, is fully represented, 1 should ininx, oy fourteen or fifteen thousand men.

The danger of the opening campaign m Northern Virginia is now virtually passed. If that in Georgia should not turn out unfortu nately, iu the face of all nay reasonable antici pations; and thereby arouse the war spirit at the North, I think wc have arrived at the beginning of the end. Last August, you will recollect, I ventured to condition the return of peace during this coming August, on the mis carriage of the heavy and quick blow that I looked for during Spring; and now that theso have taken. a form which leads to the conclu . sion of their total failure, I find some justifi cation in my then, aud even now, somewhat bold speculations touching peace, in tho fact that regimeuts, whose terms of service have expired, have already commenced to stream from the armv of Gen. Grant homeward. For the Confederate. Kinston, N. C, June 1st, 1864. Messrs.

I have several dear friends in the army, and have associated with a great .many soldiers, oth officers aud privates, and I have yet to hear one say that he blnraed the refugees for leaving their homes.

C MONDAY, JUNE 6,1864. From tho Richmond Examiner of Friday. The War Jfews. The first reliable news that came in yester day from General Lees army, was the ofiicial despatch frtri General Lee himself, which has been published in the Confederate, dated June 1, in reference to the -fight of Wednes day : " . .' ': From the time of tbe receipt of thin dispatch all remained quiet, with an occasional rumor here and. there, up to five o'clock, when a fierce cannonading came thundering- from sornewhere in the direction of Mechanicsville, A gentleman left Mechanicsville last evening; who reports that the canoonading commenced about Cold Harbor and ' extended along the . lines up in the direction of Mechanicsville. . The tight -of Wednesday evening near Cold Harbor resulted in eur complete success. The enemy got possession of some of onr works by getting around a swamp in front of them, bnt they were soon driven from them and the works reoccupied by our men. The loss of the enemy was terrible, the ground in front of the5e works being covered with piles ef their dead and wounded. We also took sixty pris oners in driving them from the works. Yes terday morning at daylight our skirmishers advanced and captured eighty prisoners, be longing to Hancock's corps, all the rest but these "skirmishers have disappeared during the night. We regret to say that Col. Lawrence M. Keitt, of Sotth Carolina, wounded in this fight of Wednesdayj died yesterday. Col. Murchison, Eighth North Carolina, was killed in the fight of Wednesday evening near Cold Harbor, while leading his men on a charge. The Adjutant and Inspector General of Gdinqman's North Carolina brigade was severely wounded in the same fight. At ten o'clock lat night we heard that a very considerable foroe of the enemy Infantry, artil lery and cavalry had appeared at Bottom's bridge, and .after shelling our troops there with out effect, went down the bank of the stream towards James river, no doubt with intention of crossing somewhere in" the night. THE AFFAIR AT ASHLAKD. We derived the following particulars of the aff iir from gentlemen who participated in it, and who came down from Ashland yesterday. One Account represents that our cavalry fell upon the enemy's cavalry, supposed to be a whole division, about four miles from Mechanics ville, and a sharp fight ensued, our men falling back Hnd a running fight being kept up until our forces reached Ashland. Hera our men were reiufcrced and the fight raged for a while, when the enemy was put to flight aud driven some two or inree miiea. e jn.o m thi, fi.ht in thecantur, of some three or four - . , 1 . J ll I hundred nne norses, equipment au-i u. , The enemy is said to have been punished severely, losing in killed and wounded some three hundred. Some forty or fifty of their wounded fell into our hands. Our loS is not known, but is comparatively slight. So far from Ashland being bnrned, as rumor had it yesterday, a gentleman who left there vesterdav evening tells us that no injury was done exceDt tho tearing up of the railroad trtck for a- few ards, aud the burning, perhaps, of the water tank.

Johnston FIIISONER5 CAPTURED DKMORALIZATION GRANTS ARMY. or We had reported to us a success by Genera Breckinridge during the fighting on We In s- 1 dav. which we had not time to note in our yesterday's summaiy of news. While some of his troops were engaging the enemy in the front, he ordered a regiment to pass aiouuu and fret into their rear. The movement suc- riuii nrimimhlv. and it was bat a little while before the regiment had secured about a hundred Drisoners. At the demand to sur render Ihfcv threw down their arms and off r cd not tho slightest resistance, saying that they were glad U get tho chance to give themselves up. They all declared that they were tired of the war, adding, by way of em phasis to the declaration, "Here are our guns, they are loaded, we did not fire them, aud what is more, we didu't intend to." On being told that they would have to go to Richmond, they expressed the greatest willingness to do "so and btarted off with even manifestations of joy at 'the fortune that nan ovemKen mem. It is true that this is a mere incident, but it derives an interest and importance from the accounts' that have reached, us of the demoral ization of Grant's army. If the conduct and spirit of these men are to be taken as an ex ample of tho morale and enthusiasm ot his armv, then siuely it is dertfralized. The long marches and the tremendous slaughter sinee. Grant first tojk ap'kh line of march, and the great discontent amoui, those whose term of enlistment have expired, have,no doubt, caused a disaffection and demoralization iu the ranks. From a dozen different sources some of them our own officers, who were engaged in the fight we have corroborative testimony of the alleged demoralization of thejenemy, and that ui t?,P nrdrtr of their officers to advauco or charge, the men have refused to move an inch, and have iaueu nac on ine giouuu themselves from the fire of our men, or broken and ran like sheep to the rear. If but one half we hear be true, Grant's army is jaded, dispirited, wearied, discontented, and demor alizednot in trim for battle, but ready to get behind entrenchments, aud trust to the pick and shovel, as it did before Vicksburg. If Grant's army were not in the condition represented by rumor, we think he would have fought Lee before this. It is now -the sixth day since he crossed to this side of the Pamuukey. THE NEGK0 TROOPS OK THS SOCTHSIDE. The negro troops on the Southside seem to be holding high carnival: They are scouring aud sweeping the country with tire and sword. A party from Prince George reports that raid iug parties of these black miscreants hae been committing all sorts of depredations through the country over which they have passed has been robbed, plundered, and de vastated. THE VANDALISM CT THK EKF.MT. From all -parts of the country from Geor gia to Virginia we bear the same universal report of the devilish excesses and outrages bv tho enemr To rob, plnnder and devastate to burn, pillage and riot seem the darling occupation of the whole Yankee ration. It seems, indeed, to bare bscwtn an established policy of their warfare, acting on the prin ciple we suppose, which they have proclaimed to the people of Charles City and New Kent counties, 'If we can't whip yoa, we will starve von." Certainly they have acted on this principle on their march through the country; down from Snotsvlvania. Finding that they eould not whip L-ft, they bavo fallen open that other expedient or Uieir3, oi siarriug mo w-r . A aentleman tells us that the who'e country bas been robbed and devastated by them swept, not only of everything in the way of subsistence for man ana neasi, out me nouses plundered and ransacked, and everything done that the most devilish atrocity could devise. A Good Haul. The Abingdon Virginian of the 20th, learns that a part of the 3d Ten nessee regiment captured 72,000 lbs of Yan kee bacon and the teams that hauled it, with their negro drivers, in upper East Tennessee, a few days ago.
