the terrific scene from an altitude Of about
two thousand feet. 4 :.
Telegraphic communication from the bal

fully maintained, Mr.. Park Spring, Of Phila-
delphia, acting as operator Every
movement of the enemy was obvious and
instantly reported.
This is believed to be the first time in
which a balloon reconnaissance has been
successfully made during a battle, and Ger
tainly it is the first time in which tclc
graphic station has been established in the
air to report the movements of the enemy
and the progress of battle. The advan

The following dispatch was received at the
War Department this afternoon from the
FIELD OF BATTLE, 12 o'clock, June I.
To Hon. L. NJ. Stanton Secretary of War:
We have had desperate battle, in
which the corps of Sumner, Hcintzlcman and
Keys have been engaged, against greatly
superior numbers. Yesterday at o'clock,
the enemy, taking advantage of u terrible
storm which had Hooded the valley of the
Chickahominy, attacked our troops ON the
right flank of that stream.
General Cascys division, which was in
the first line, gave away unaccountably and
disunitcdly. This caused temporary con-
fusion, during which guns and baggage
were lost, but IIcintzlcman and Keamcy
most gallantly brought up thcirtroops which
checked the enemy. At the same time we
succeeded by great eXcrtions, in bringing
Gen. Scdwick and Richardson's divisions,
who drove back the enemy at the point of
the bayonct, covering the ground with his
dead
This morning the enemy attempted to re-
new the conflict, but was everywhere
| rcpulsed.
We have taken many prisoners, among
| whom arc General Pcttigrcw aud Colonel
Long.
Our loss is heavy, but that of the enemy
must have been enormous
With the exception of Casey's division our
men behaved splcnddly. Several fine
| bayonct charges have been made. The Sc
cOnd Excelsior made two to-day.

WAsHrxGroS. Feb. 5.-The Military
Committee of the Senate to-day agreed on
q bill providing for retaining regimental
bands in service, of sixteen musicians each
They also determined on bill reducing
the mileage of officers 10 six cents pei
mile. e e
The Committee Of Ways and Means,
in the absence of Hon. John S. Phelps oi
Missouri. who is in the army. are evenly
divided on the proposition making Treas.
ury notes legal tender. There is great
doubt. however. of the passage of the bill
containing that provision.
The report made to-day by the Com.
mittee on Commerce is averse TO abroga-
tien Of the reciprocity treaty. but advo.
Gates an enlargement of its commercial
connection. ta'f d s-
The report was recommitted for further
action by the Committee.
The Secretary of the Treasury to-day
addressed another letter to MIR. Spauld-
ing, urging immediate action on the Treas.
ury Note Bill. Arrangements have beer
made by the opponents of the bill to frame
a substitute. consolidating leading features
in the propositions of Morrill,. Vallaadig
ham and Conkling. eaa
Bright was expelled from the Senate to
day. He left before the vote was announ-
cd. The galleries were densely crowded
and the audience expressed their satisfac
tion at the result. Previous to his ex
pulsion. Bright spoke at length. saying h'
had ever voted for peace and never gave I
sectional vote. Every impulse OF his hear
was given to his country; and he yieldee
to no man in his attachment to it. If b.
should be turned out. he would put him
self on trial before tribunal which should
be found just. He would submit to tn

He would leave the people to decide th'

If there had ever been the shadow Of .
doubt as to the effect and purpose Of the
late disloyal convention in this city. calling
itself Democratic" it would be destroy
ed by the fact reported BY our Washington
correspondent this morning. DR.. VIM. B.
Fletcher. on his return from Richmond,
took to Washington Richmond paper in
which the proceedings and speeches ofthss
Convention are copied at length. and tho
attention of the rebels called TO them By
the paper as proof that great psrtyefre-
sistance to the scar and tn countexance Of the
rebellion is grosCing xp in Indiana. This
one fact tells the story. A thousand pages
of irrefutable argument based on the rsse-
lutions and speeches caa't convince any
body half so quickly as this instructive re-
cognition by the rebels ofthe sympathy and
friends they have in the loyal States
People of Indiana. especially Democrats
who are loyal and true to the Government,
but feel disposed to follow those who have
SO recklessly and for such infamous purpo-
ses raised the old banner Of Democracy
against the flag Of their country. think Of
this fact. II is worth msny serious
thoughts. and q little decided action

speeches are made IN oar favor, and yet you
tell me there is no symphsty for rs in
your State" This fact tells whole vol
ume for the character Of that convention.
The rebels know who their friends are,
and we trust loyal Democrats will remem-
Der who these traitors are.
The most important news, however,
brought by DR.. r. is in reference to the dis
banding OF the rebel forces. In another
place will be seen an account of the dis
banding Of an Alabama regiment at PEN
sacola. the men refusing to re-enlist in
spite of all could be said or done TO induce
it. DIR. +. says this is but specimen Of
what will occur on large scale very soon.
A large part of the rebel army is enlisted
for one year only. and the time will expire
in February and March with most of them.
The men in most cases will not re-enlist
The rebels are in much perplexity about it
The papers say nothing about, it. but Dr.
+. heard plans proposed and discussed in
conversation hundred times, to remedy
the terrible calamity Of being left with nc
army at this critical state Of the war.
From all he heard he is confident that the
rebels fear that their army will be dissolv.
ed in good part. and that they see no escape
from the difficulty. While in the rebe
army at Huntersville, prisoner, he heard
the men say. hundreds of times, that j
they were once ont of service they would
never go back. and he thinks that it will
be impossible to retain any considerable
portion of the discharged men. The Ala
bama regiment. he takes it, will be imita
ted by most of the others. If so the rebel
are to meet the hardest part of the fgh

professed object was a war for g.; also,
that it never could be the wish Of the Uni
ted States Governm ent to destroy cities
from which their own country was 70 de-
rive portion Of its iches, and such plan
could only be adopted as . meas ure Of re-
venge, and as an irremedisbls injury o.
gainst an enemy. Lord Lyons was furth-
er told that even as Q scheme Of embittered
and sanguinary war such measure could
not be justi6able. 1t would be q plot o.
gainst the free intercourse of the Southern
States with the civilized world. Lord
Lyons was desired to speak in this sense
in answer to Mr.. Sc ward, who, Il was
hoped, would disavow the illegal project;
now. however. says the letter. that the
project seems to have been carried into ef-
feet at Charleston. Lord Lyons will be in
structed to make no further representa-
tious to Mr.. Seward with view TO pre-
vent similar acts of destruction at other
ports.
1t was stated that the French Minister
at Washington had been furnished with
the formal disapprobation of the French
Government at the conduct of the u. S.
Government in choking up Charleston
Harbor with stone, and that he would Join
Lord Lyons in protesting against the oct.
The London Times continues its denun-
citation of the stone blockade; and asserts
that the project of the British Government
against Bologna in 1904 was . far differ

o hostile feet.
The London Morning Post says that
matters in America are evidently approach
ing situation tn which the de .faeso Gov

Some journals say that If. in spite Of
the remonstrances against It, other South
em ports are served like Charleston. Eng

them to do but to interfere.
The Liverpool Post emphaticslly de.
clares that the civil scar nsast BE stopped By

The London Daily Nevs continuss bold.
ly to denounce the idea Of recognising the
South, and says it is time the country
should utter its voice against it in unmis-
taxable tones.
/ II is reported that the initiative in pro.
claiming the blockade Of the Southern
ports inefficient, will be taken by France.
The French Government journals continue
to make the worst of the Charleston block

a good effect in restoring the men to health.
A sad accident occurred here on New
Years day, by which we lost one OF the
best soldiers in eompxny E. 18th Indiana.
Two Of the boys while on picket were
/. sporting when the gun Of one while drag
ging or carrying it by his side aceidently
exploded inficting a fatal wound in the
right side Of his comrade, of which he died
on the third day. The unfortunate mans
name was Isaac Harrison. His untimely
death is very much deplored. w

work. If permitted to meet Buckner's reb'
els at Bowling Green you may expect to
