Letter from McCleI an'A Army.
TURKEY BRIDGE, NEAR JAMES RIVER,
July 4, 1862.
The Army of the Potomac Is resting here.
Whether it went sideways like a crab, or
made a retreat, your correspondent is not
prepared to say. He can only give the de-
tails of a dangerous march, over muddy
roads, and part of weeks hard fighting.
The men are utterly worn out and exhaust
ed, and it will take a good deal to give
them new life and energy.
On the 25th of June, general battle
took place along the line, in which Colonel
Browns brigade, consisting of the Goth
Indiana, 63d Pennsylvania, S7th New
York, took an important part. The Goth
Indiana lost 1872 in killed, wounded and
missing, the list of which has been fur
nshed.
On the 26th. when all thought to be Or
dered to advance on Richmond, It began to
be whispered around camp that our sup
plies were cut off, and Jackson in our rear
with large force. Then came an order 70
destroy what we could not carry, and Gen.
Kearney's division was detailed to cover
the retreat, aud do all the fighting, and the
Goth Indiana to be the last in the intrench-
ments, and to be killed or taken prisoners,
as the case might be.
Well, for two days the division remained
iG position, seeing every thing pass by them
in long cavalcade, baggage wagons, artll
lery, suffers carts, and everytbin else, un-
til everybody being safe, and the rebels by
this time finding it Cut, and approaching in
force, the Goth Indiana had to leave and
left, shelled by rebel battery. The whole
army was far in front of us, and it is mi
| racle we were not all capture6, but Adju-
tant Stiles Was taken prisoner, Capt. Bead
wounded, and Lieut. Andrews killed.
The road was not yet open to James riv-
er, for as the head of the right advanced,
they fell in with a body of rebel cavalry,
had brush with them, killed 40 and took
| / so prisoners. But the column pushed for
ward, for it was James river or destruction.
The roads were crowded with the long
trains OF wagons mostly with officers bag
! gage, while provisions, and other useless
things were destroyed. Especial pains were
taken to save the artillery and therefore no
| cannon was in danger, though some thou
| sands of soldiers perished.
1t is called a countermarch, a stragetic
movement. May the Lord preserve me
from ever seeing such another movement.
For two days the army kept pretty well
| together, but on the third it was one long
! train of stragglers, lookin gmore like car
ayan of pilgrims to Mecca, than anything
else that. know Of You would come to a
house and try to get something to eat or
drink, you would find guard at the door.
Peep into the window and you would see a
long table filed with officers, waiting for
gco1 things, while hungry and thirsty, sick
and wounded and dying soldiers were
struggling round in the mud outside. Now
this account applies to the right wing of
the army, who had the advance, and not to
the left, which did all the fighting. 1t does
not include any General, for all the Cen
erals were in the 6eld doing their duty
but it does apply to majors, captains, and

lleuteDants, who were swift-fOOted as deers,
no danger of old Stonewall jackson CATCH
ing them.
Well, we had four battles First at Saw
age Station, where the killed and wounded
were piled up by thousands, and then the
left wing fell back. The next at Bottom
Bridge, where our artillery piled up thou
sands of the dead rebels, and their ferocious
charges killed as many of ours. Next in a
field, where the enemy were positively driv-
en- back with much loss, and both sides
rested for the night, completely tired out.
But the rebels took their dead and wounded
from the field, while we did not. 1t seemed
cruel to step over men we knew well, when
we moved the next morning, hear their ap.
peals for help, and yet be able to do moth
ing, for we were not permitted to. No.
body knows whose order it was. AT any
rate the rebels got them, and proved them
selves more humane than we were. And
our army fell back again.
Next we had another battle upon q hill.
There was a rushing Of squadrons a charg-
ing OF infantry, a roar of artillery. Gun
boats shelled the enemy's Aanks, aud mus
kerry poured deadly volleys into their ad-
vance. We repulsed them, of course, but
fell back again, Thousands were killed on
both sides, and we were on the way to
Richmond backwards.
Then we crossed. muddy stream aud
encamped on a fat by the river, in the
mud. No place for the sick-ony such
wounded as were almost dead would be ta-
ken on the boats And there we staid
until the next day, when the rebels shelled
our camp from a hill just above it, killed
fe " men, and we had to go and take it
And here we are now, and l don't know
where we will be next.
They may be ali glorious battles and glo-
rious victories, but We don't see it. If you
do, why it is all right.
see Indiana is going to send new regi-
ments to the field. Would it not be judi
cious to appoint field officers for them rom
those already in service. l can speak per-
sonaily of the following officers, who have
stood he hards1ips Of the battle field and
march so far, and we'll deserve promotion,
for nave seen them in the thickest Of the
battle and know they have done their duty
they have done hard service for year,
and deserve reward: Col VIM. L. Brown,
Major John E. Wheeler, Capt George F.
Dick, Capt. John Kissler, Capt. James H.
Shannon, Capt. Geo. W. Nickel, all of the
goth Indiana, are the officers who would do
credit to any regiment or brigade.
The Monitor has just come down the
James river with rebel gunboat captured
yesterday. 1t proves the channel at Fort
Fort Darling is not wholly obstructed, and
we may yet take Richmond by way of the
river.
july 6th.-Three well-dressed men were
seen coming into camp. The boys thought
them to be Paymasters. Soon they were
recognized, and right glad were the men of
the Twentieth to see the welcome faces of
W. R. Holloway, DR.. Teegardeu, and Capt
Sturm, and knew that our noble Governor
had sent them to care for our wounded
But, alas most of our wounded are in the
hands of the enemy. Only a few on the
boats. We are happy, indeed, to see them,
and will keep them as long as we can.
Ever yours, E NJ. B. Fl.

King Cotton.

The reign of the confederate King Cot

searches of the English Cotton supply a. .
ISOLATION shown that in a few years enough
to supply the world can be produced out
side of the confederacy not only have
experiments in southern Indiana and
Illinois this year shown that cotton enough
to supply the United States can be raised
in the free suites; but a scotch inventor
has discovered substitute for cotton
which will knock down the consumption
of the article one-half at q single blow
The substitute is juts, a 6brous grass, which
has hitherto been imported from East
India chiefly for making mats and carpets.
There is no limit to the supply, at prices
which leave cotton hopelessly in the shade
The Messrs Thompson d Co., manufact-
urers at Lleafeld Works, Dundee, have
discovered a process, by which the fiber of
this jute is converted into soft silky ma
terial, capable of being spun on cotton
and, in fact, capable in q great
degree of fulfilling the purposes of that
staple. Hemp, also, is easily converted
into the same material Jute sells in Ii.
verpool at $40 ton, or about cts, a
pound. At the sailing of the last steamer
jute and hemp had risen so per cent in
price and the greatest excitement prevail.

War News OF the Week.
FROM McCLELLAN's Army.


There is very little news from the Pote.
mac this week. Sumner occupies Bolivar
Heights; Williams Maryland Heights:
Burnside Harper's Ferry; Mcclellan is At
sharpsburg and the main portion of his
army still at Williamsport His engineers,
penteniers, &c, however, have performed
herculean labor during the week in recon-
structing the bridge At Harper's Ferry and
throwing several pontoon bridges across
the Potomac, 80 that there is no doubt
Mcclellan is on the eve of crossing with
his whole army.
Our cavalry keep harvesting the enemy's
outposts on the epposide side, and daily
make some captures. Their pickets are
about 8 miles from the river, but the be-
lief Is their main force is between Mar
tinsburg and Winchester. 1t is considered
impossible that Lee can remain long for
want Of supplies, and must retreat towards
Richmond. Hintzelman, with large force,
is somewhere to obstruct this retreat
Sigels force is strung along the railroad
from Manassas to 10 miles beyond War
renton, and has taken large quantities of
stores, and 1900 prisoners in that direction.
The rumors that Sigel has resigned are
not true; his force has been largely in
creased.
