THE BATTLE OF MALVERN HILL.
The engagement at Turkey Greek was
one of the seyerest the army has sustained,
and the loss was heavy but the James
river was reached, and the army felt ray
of hope as the heavy booming of the Ga
lena's guns echoed around them. During
the night the army fell back across Pc
ninsula to another bend of the river further
down, and known as Malvern Hill, slight
eminence we'll calculated for desperate re-
sistance and permanent position, but expos
ing the supplies below. Wagon trains. in
the meantime, proceeded towards Harrison's
Bar, some miles still further below, where
the headquarters were 10 be stationed and
supplies were ready to land.
But all the trains had not got away. The
immense train of siege guns was still wait
ing a clear road, and on Tuesday Gen. Nc
Clellan gave the command of the position
and preparations for the defence to General
F. J. Porter, than whom cooler, braver
officer, and more perfect gentleman, does
not live. = O.
During the night and early in the morn
ing, the eminence and its slopes had been
planted with artillery, rising tier above
tier, with the heaviest guns, until nearly
two hundred pieces were ready for the re-
ception of any foe desperate enough to ap-
proaeh. Gen. Porter, himself an old artil-
lery officer and instructor, took personal
supervision of a battery of beautiful 80
pound rife guns, the excellence of which
does credit to our recent improvements in
artillery warfare. .--+...
The forces under Gen. Porter were his
own corps, Gen. MorelIs and Sykes Divis-
ions, Colonel Hunts reserve artillery of 40
pieces, including the heavy Connecticut ar
tillery, which did such fearful execution at
Yorktown, Gen. COUGHS Division, General
