We are informed that. at the Union Pic nic
OF Gnsdenhuttun, some days ago, Geo. W.
Mcivaine, in his speech. took occasion to re-
fleet upon Democrats ior attacks made upon
Cove, nor Dennison. For the sake of consisten-

misntormed, for the hct is. he has attacked
the "suthorities Of our Statsp about as point

place about three O'Clock on Tuesday aher-
noon, pear Sutnmervile. Gen. Rosecrsns. af-
ter taking reconnaissance found Eloyd's army,
5000 strong with sixteen field pieces en-
treBched in powerful position. IN the top of
at mountain at Csrnix Ferry, on the West side
OF Gauley river The rear and extreme Of both
ranks were inaccessible. and the front was
masked heavily by forest and close Jungle
Col. Lytle's Tenth Ohio Regiment OF Benham's
Brigade was in advance, and drove strong de-
tachment ot the enemy out OF camp, this side OF
the position the site OF which was unknown.-
Shortly afterwards his scouts consisting Of
'tour companies, suddenly discovered them
selves in the face Of parapet battery and long
line OF palisades, for riflemen. when the battle
opened hercely. The remainder of the 10Th
and 18th Ohio were brought into action sue
cessively by General Benham, and the Twelfth
alterward by Captain Flarstuif, whose object
was an armed reconnaissance. The enemy
played telrifically on our forces with musket.
ry. rifles, canister and shell, causing some
casualties. Col. Lytle led several companies
Of Irish to charge the battery, when he was
brongh' down by shot in the leg. Smiths
18th Ohio engaged the enemy on the left, aud
Col. loves 18th Ohio directly in 'front.'
Lowe fell dead at the head Of his regiment ear
ly in the hottest fire. by ball in the lore
head. McMullen's howi,zer battery aud Sny'
der's two field pieces meaatine were got into
the best position possible under the circum
stances, and very socn entirely silenced two ol
the rebel guns. The fire slackened at interv-
ais but grew more furious as the night sp
preached, when the German brigade was led
gallantly into the action by Col. McCook, dnd-
er the direction Of Adjt. Gen. Hsrtsuffstein az.

laid on their arms within short distance o.

sunk the boats in the river and destroyed the

occupied the position. The turbulance and depth
of the river and the exhaustion Of the troops
made it impossible to follow him He LEFT his

ties OF ammunition. and fifty head Of cattle. Oul
loss is fifteen killed and about seventy wounded

Army correspondence.

The following letter, written by a
young Irish friend, from New Hope,
after the late battle of Balls Bluff,
will be read with deep interest by ma
ny of our readers After few pre-
liminary remarks he says:-
Nothing of any moment occurred
until Sunday night last between nine
and ten O'Clock, when the long roll
was beat, the regiment was n1er
arms in ten minutes, With cur compa-
ny as kirmishers, in advance one quar-
ter of mile. Before US was th5 1st
California, and in the rear was More

We marched in the darkness some ten
miles and arrived at Edwards Ferry,
where we found the 18th Mass. and
I'd Tamany Res iments of New York
crossing the Potomac in miserable
old fat which carried only forty or
fifty at time We stacked our arms
in order to get little rest. 1t took
the two regiments the whole forenoon
to get over. Now, Bakers Brigade
(ours) came next; the regiment com
menced to embark /; first company L
Philadelphians, marched down. ] was
acquainted with every man in that
company they bid our, boys farewell,
and told us to come over as quick as
we could The Battalion had all
embarked, and just before the old fiat
got to the opposite shore she sunk,
drowning two or three. We imnledi-
ately heard the loud roar of musketry
great shout came up from the woods
which we imagined was from our boys
and we responded with a shout and a
tiger but, alas, we were mistaken; it
was from the enemy, who lay in am
bush during the time the troops was
crossing, and when they thought they
had enough to butcher, they opened
their murderous fire on them For
three hours there was nothing bst she
continual roar of musketry We dan
ced with madness to get to their es :
slstance, but we were kept standing
looking at our brother soldiers falling
and fighting against six times their
numbers, and could not render them
any assistance on account of the mis-
cradle way that was provided for car
rying the men across the Potomac. -
Bakeris dead; had be lived four hours
longer, the writer would probably have
gone the same journey, as well as every
man in the Brigade. BE was hot

to come if we could only get over FIVE

two others crossed over to look after
our acquaintances. On our arrival,
on the Virginia side, we started up
