Proceeding in that direction, General Bftaneb, iu

front of Maj. Gen. A. "P. Hill, who immediately
crossed. The three columns now proceeded; en

merged, with Gen. A. P. Hill) on the right imme

from the Chickahominy in this part of the.march,
so as to gain ground ! towards the Pamunkey,
marched to the left of Mechanicsville, wiile Gen.
Hill, keeping well to the ChiekahemLny, ap

six or seven Statesj had seceded and established
a Government at Montgomery of the Southern
Confederacy when the Unioa had already been
dismembered and there was no prospect of resto

be maintained. . He foresaw, as he declared,
that the North would undertake to subjugate the
Cotton States and force us to take eldest In this
national juncture he did hot hesitate, and declared
that interest, duty and honour required North

on the South side of tha Chickahominy, and cross
ed that river at Mechanicsville. The position of our
army on Friday night may be described as form

our left still in advance under General Jackson,
lying over towards tha .Pamunkey ; General Hill
occupying Mechanicsville and j the 'centre,
and General Lo'ngstreet with General H,

ny again; General A. P. Hill in tbe centre, and
bearing towards new Coal Harbor ; Gen. Long
street and Gen. p. Hill coming down tbe Chicka
hominy to New Bridge Anived at Hogan'a
house, near New Bridge, Gen. Lee awaited the
consummation of bis magnificent strategy courier
after courier arrived informing him of the ap
proach of each division. As soon as Jackson's ar
rival at Coal Harbor was announced,Gen, Leeand
Gen. Lougstreet, accompanied by their respective
staffs, rode by Gaines's Mill and halted at New
Coal Harbor, here they joined Gen. A. P. Hill.
Soon the wellcome sound of Jackson's guns an
nounced his arrival and that the battle had 1 be

"These last were therefore advancing on Kich-
mond witn tneir backs to tne city; such was the pj
sition into which General Lee had forced McClel

However, was one of great strength
"Jackson having begun the contest, it was taken
up by General A. P. ;Hill in the centre, and by
u. u.t hut on tne left; Jbongslreet, in reserve, sup
ported immediately tne centre under General A.
P. Hill. Prom thebeginingof the conflict, Jack
son pressed op and D. H. Hill dowcf the Chicka
hominy.' Our wings were thus approaching each
other, while Our; centre was driving the enemy
back upon the river. Prom four o'clock until
eight the battle raged with a display of the utmost
aaring and intrepidity on the part of the Confed
erate army. . The enemy's lines were finally bro
ken and his strong positions ait carried, and night
covered the retreat' of . Model Ian 's broken and
routed columns to the South side of the Chicka
hominy. This retreat to the Richmond side of
the river was "continued through Friday night,
and the morning of Saturday. . Closely watched
and pressed by our armyie held his fortified camp
on the South aide of the Chickahominy during
Saturday, but evacuated it during the night, and
resumed his retreat, taking direction, towards
Jamee river. ' ;

which wantonly and wickedly-brought on this
war, and he is now for figh' ting until every in

and its complete and absolute independence estab
lished. ." ' "
These are briefly the political views of one who
hasuever Obtruded them upon others, and one
upon whom all can unite without any compro
mise of principle or honor. Since the period re
ferred: to, he has been unanimously elected from
this codhty to the State Con vention, which passed
the ordinance of secession which position he re
sign edr and at the solictation of Governor Ellis
and many frinds, accepted the office of Commis
sary Genoral of the State, which he held unil

troops having been turned ove- to the Confeder
