mer. Against public waste, Thaddeus
Stevens, Chairman of Ways and Means

Among the few Democrats who voted nay

The resolutions opened way for more
appropriations Of the same description, by
providing that Gales & Seaton should not
sell remaining copies without giving
timely notice to Congress, to give it the
first chance to purchase.

Enquirer. The name Lincoln does

earlier days when link boys perambulated
the streets of London. A trial occurred
in which one of these boys was brought
upon the witness stand. When asked as
to his knowledge of the plaintiff replied,

that name. which has been changed by
the more aristocratic style of spelling, in.

f. S. S.-Billy Patterson was not
struck, as is ~eroneously supposed; be was
kicked by Thompson's colt (the colt vas
unanimously excused on. the ground of
being a dam toaI beyond doubt). He is
not in any way related i the PaltersOns
of Baltimore, nor to Ex.Gov. Patterson
of New Jersey. His fathers name was
William Patter, and his boy was COM

Patterson at the present day.

MORE OF THE BATTLE OF
RICHMOND.
McCLELLAx's HEADegARTERs,

McCLELLANs HEADQUARTERS,
June 2, 1862.
Two days of the battle Of Richmond
were fought, in both Of which we we're
victorious, The loss on both sides is
heavy.
The attack commenced at one o'clock
on Saturday by Hills Division of FIVE reb-
Ell brigades, mostly from South Carolina,
Virginia and Georgia, attacking Casey's
Division near the turnpike leading over
Bottoms Bridge. This fight was disas-
trous to as.
Casey's division was forced to retreat
before superior numbers, leaving all their
camp equipage and twelve batteries.-
Col. Bailey, in e~ndeavoring to save the
batteries, was killed. Some of the Penn.
sylvania and New York troops behaved
very badly. Many officers were killed
in attempting to ralley the men.
Gen. Heinizleman ordered up portions
Of Kearney's and Hooker's division, and
The former charged the rebels with the
bayonet, driving them like sheep, aud
regained the lost ground, except half a
mile, when night closed operations.
General Summers division, composed
of Sedgwick's and Richardson's crossed
the Chickahominy onSaturday afternoon,
taking position on General Heintzleman's
right, Here they encountered Long
streets and Huger's divisions, composed
of the flower of the che army.
The fight was desperate, every inch Of
ground be holly contested. The rebels
stood fire, but in every instance fed be-
fore the bayonet. Sedwick's and Rich
ardson's divisions did nobly, driving the
rebels at every point.

ert1- New YoRK, June 2.
The TImes's Washington correspond
.pondence says Gen. McClellan's dispatch
touching the conflict of Saturday before
Richmond, was made public early this
morning, and created immense excitement
in this city. 1t is everywhere the subject
of animeled discussion, and has given
rise to a thousand r1mors, each OF which
has its earnest advocates. One story is
that the gunboats have forced their way
Richmond, and command the city, while
cur troops are rapidly entering.
Another is that we have possession of
the first line of the enemy's works, and
are vigorously Smelling the city, but at
this writing nothing is really known be-
yond the official dispatch. The general
impression is that Richmond has not y
fallen into our possession, but our pos
ton is strong and satisfactory, and thi
our flag in a few hours will wave over The
doomed city.
