We received, yesterday, variety OF letters
bearing uniform testimony to the gallant and
unfaiing courage of the men OF the fifteenth
regiment. Col Devens writes in a private
letter that "the regiment behaved nobly the
officers without an exception stood up reso-
lutely from the first hour of the day 10 the last
and the men seemed determined and nnfiinch-
ing to the LIST" One of the privatts, who had
several bulle. holes through his clothes, and
bayonet scratch on his cheek, writes that the
thought of surrender was not entertained for
a moment The accounts from Washington
official and unofficial, agree i'll according all
praise to the noble and knighty courage OF
the men who fought SO long and almost against
hope on the west bank OF The Potomac.
courage and humanity during all the trials OF
the week. 1t is not, of course, possible to
copy all the testimony OF atfectionate gratitude
which we receive, not only from the wounded
and suffering around him, but also from the
friends at houe, whose painful anxiety his
thoughtful letters have allayed. He has
proved to be the soldiers truest friend, uniting
in the hour of their great trial the encouraging
and sustaining influences oil friendship with
the consultations of religion.
1t is not necessary to add any thing to the
approving testimony of the bearing of the
officers Of the regiment. We can not refrain,
however, from copying the following from a
private letter ave cannot say too much in
praise of the cool courage and considerable
movements OF Cox Devens. He is, in my
opinion, unsurpassed for cool bravery, being
in the thiekest of the fight, with lis men, en-
couraging them with hopes OF success as long
as a shadow Of hope lasted"

We have obtained some further and intplIi-
gent particulars of the late brilliant engagement
on our side near LeesbuTg, and Of the extent
and glorious incidents OF our victory. These
details are from the Intelligent testimony Of eve
witnesses Of the battle, and may b. taken as a
reliable version Of ii. They represent our vic
tory 10 have surpassed even the accounts here
J0fOre published by us, and TO have given a
manifestation of the ardent and desperate c0ur-
age of our troops, such as seldom has been ey-
hibijed in the history Of any campaign.
Tho fighting on our side is described as ter
rife. In the thi,kest Of the fight, the Mississip-
pi troops throwing aside their muskets, knop-
sacks, and even hats, charged upon the Yankees
with bowie knives, making the attack with yclls
of rage and excitement.
The enemy made three distinct attacks upon
our line. At one time in the action, for the space
OF about twenty minutes, the battle ragged with
the two opposing forces within thirty feet OF each
other, amid the stunning reports of mUsketry
and occasional ESSAYS Of the enemy 10 reach us
with the bayonet. Tbe attempts to charge
bayouets on our line was held in check each
time by the steady ire o. our troops and,
when their turn came to charge, they rushed into
the enemy with q fury that is said 20 have swept
them into the most indiscribable disorder and
panic-stricken confusion.
Great credit in the action is awarded to the Sth
Virginia regiment, commanded by Col. Eppa
Hunton. This regiment is said 10 have assailed
the enemy on the flank al a critical point of the
action, and to have completed his disorder by the
effect Of their attack.
Gen. Baker is said 70 have behaved with the
most extraordinary gallanty; and the generosity
of even his enemy accords the highest praise to
the courage and devotion displayed by him in
the thickest of the fight. His body was pierced
through and through by bullets. He fought on,
without drawing the least notice to his wounds,
until, az last, he fell dead by q shot from a Mis-
sissippi ridemau that pierced his temple.
the most considerable portion are said to be Irish
and Germans, but few of the " irrepressible con
