The battle before Richmond appears to have
been meditated by the rebel generals for many
days before it occurred. The uninterrupted
progress up the peninsula, since the affair at
Williamsburg, till our troops almost overlook
ed the city, left them no hope of safety but in
a successful attack. The 'retreating" policy
of the commanding generals had been made a
subject, sometimes of expostulation and some
times of ridicule, by those who remained at
home, loudly calling on them to put an end to
tri6ing, and compel the Unionists to fight. Sc
lecting their time, place, and opportunity,
with what discretion they could, they yielded
to the pressure, with what result is known to
the whole country. Flushed by apparent
success in the first attack, they exposed them
selves to battle with some of the best-traincd
and bravest troops of the Union army. and.
after standing for few hours their uncrring
shot and gallant charges, broke up in confu-
sion and abandoned the field.
The difficulty of obtaining accurate intelli-
gence from a battlefield leaves us still in the
dark as to many essential facts; but we are
abundantly assured that after the first sur
prise was over, our gallant troops, officers and
men, bore themselves with great bravery, and
won a decided and most important victory.

fell wounded or dead upon the feld-a list
