BALTIMORE, May 26.-The following is the
statement Of Capt Geo. Smith, in the first regi-
ment, who succeeded in efecting his escape in
the6ght at Front Royal about one o'clock in
the afternoon: fs.ifa -t
A negro mounted upon horseback came dash
ing into camp crying out that the rebels we're
coming in great numbers, and they will surround
you and cut you of. At first the men laughed
at him, saying they had waited so long for them
that they did not believe word of it. As soon
however as Col Kenly saw the man he became
satisfied of their approach; the long roll was
beaten and the men responded by spring,ng has.
tily to arms and forming in line by companies
Very soon the rebels made their appearance
and strange to say not single gun was fred by
the pickets of the lst regiment. Il may have
been in consequence of sudden tura in the road
they were surprised ana captured. Company
A was ordered to deploy as skirmishers and sup.
port section Of Knapp's Pennsylvania battery;
in the meantime the Lieut.. Col. of the 18th in.
fsntry, with small detachment of his men who
had been acting as a - corps, also formed
| and prepared to receive the enemy; the battery
was soon engaged and discharged shot and shell
for near two hours, until nearly all its ammun-
| ton had been expended; tho firing was spirited
and there is no doubt of its efficiency Unable
however to Withstand such an overwhelming
| force, the order was given to retire which was
done, and the entire column moved over the
Shenandoah river, the retreat being covered by
a company Of the 9th New York Cavalry, about
eighty strong. 10 ,laa
Whilst passing over the bridge the Captain
| distinctly cav the rebel forces There was
very strong column of cavalry, say four squad
rons-eigbt companies7-and FIVE regiments of
infantry. Ofthis two squadrons Of cavalry were
fording the stream-the water, being very low
The order to double. quick was given, and the
Federals took to the pike, where another stand
was made. Col Kinley addressed the men and
told them that their only chance was to stand
and fight to the last, as the rebel cavalry were
fast pushing on and displayed a black flag. Capt
| Smith states that he did not see them display the
white flag. g
A second stand was made, and many shots ex-
changed, when the New York cavalry, still in
the rear of the column. broke and retired, riding
| through the ranks of the infantry. part OF the
Maryland command retired to a wheat field, and
| there made another stand, firing rapidly and
with deliberate decision. Presently on came the
rebel cavalry, cutting right and left, yelling like
Indians. In some instances neither the dying
| nor wounded were spared, and in two instances
the Captain saw the3ebels draw their pistols
| and shoot them in the head withdrawing on the
roadside. The Captain told the men they had
| better escape as best they could. st,9
There were but six companies Of the regiment
engaged in the fight, tie remaining four being

SPRINGFIIIp. No. 1861

MEssRs. EDITORS II wish to communicate tt
your many readers, through the columns of YOU
paper, the condition of the sick in this hospital
and, if possible, obtain for them little assist
ance. An occasional visitor here might thinL
them tolerably we'll provided for, but constant
attendant upon them feels that not only thei,
common wants are often unsatisfed, but that &C
tual necessities sometimes exist. The Govern
ment has done much to furnish the substsptials
Of life and comfort; but there are many little ar
ticles necessary to the sick, wounded and con-
valescent holders, which remain unlurnisbed
until supplied by charitable institutions, or in
dividual muni6cehce. The scarcity of produce
in this country renders it impossible to procure
suitable vegetables, in sufficient quantities, 70,
the use of the hospital. Common things such
as milk. and eggs, are very dear, and no,
to be had at any price. But the want OF eata
bles suitable for sick person ia not the oply
one. Under garments are frequently needed
when not to be had; yet the want of reading mat
ter is still greater. can imagine no better field
for the distribution of tracts, papers, pamphlets
and books, and the diffusion of useful and rel-
gious. knowledge, than among the convalescent
of a hospital. They devour cage. ly all kinds Of
literature, whether religious, scientific or DO
litical; and it must be admitted that reading
matter is really necessary to their health as well
as comfort. The mind needs something to arouse
and stimulate it as well as the body. Good lit,
erature will not only do this, but will also diver
the mind of the convalescent from home apf
absent friends, and render his recovery NOR,
rapid and certain.
Mr.. left is the agent of the Sanitary Commits
sion at this place, and the sick and wounded hav,
received very many favors through bis hands,
They call him, and the society he represents
''blessed." There is no creature on earth NOR,
grateful for favors, however small than a sicI
soldier; and when We consider his sacrifice o
home and comfort for the welfare of his country
we must say that none is more deserving.
l hope that those who read this article vil
reflect upon the liberslity of the soldier Who |;
willing TO give ell he possesses, even to bis life
for his country; and, if possible, send some q
the small articles which The soldier needs to th,
hospitals, which, by the way, is the only place b,
stands in need of much assistance.

The Chicago Times quotes the foregoing, and
then indulgee in half column of abuse of the
unfortunate clergymen who have thought proper
to give expression to their opinions in relation

are hearty. We do not doubt that the editor
was in earnest when he wrote. 1t was natural
that he should be. The opinions and actions Of
Christian men and patriots are, Of course, mat
tiers which no one connected with that paper,
could do otherwise than heap up oensure

OF the internal regions to sing hosannahs to the
"Prince Of Peace" as for the Times to find any
good in anght besides the perpetuation of that
system which the resolution rightfuly designates
the ''sum of all villainies." When any one
strikes at slavery it strikes at the Times That
