The Battle Of savagss, station.

The battle of Savages Station which
took place on Sunday, June 29lh, and is al
uded to on our first page, is thus described
by the army correspondent Of The New York
Herald:
1t commenced about five o'clotk in the after
noon and lasted till eleven O'clock at night.
The rebels, when we had fallen back upon
Peach Orchard, filed with large reinforcements
and additional batteries, as well as wi n several
squadrons of cavalry, towards several roads
leading to the ChickahOminy, and, covered by
the thick timber, were enabled to remain con-
ceaed until they had reached wheat field that
stretches from Savages' to dense belt of woods
in the direction of the farms of DIR. Trent and
Messrs. Mickey, Dudley and Couch. Suddenly
appearing out Of the edges of the timber, they
opened with Tifed cannon upon our forces,
drawn UP in full view to the south of the rail-
road. Directly they ran out three batteries to
commanding points in the wheat field, and
opened rapid enhlading fire of shell and grape.
This was at first so staggering that our men
could not form, nor our artillerymen bring their
batteries into service. The l06th Pennsylvania
regiment was seized with momentary panic, but
soon recovered and did good service. The first
named lost in the beginning Of the fight hun
dred killed and wounded men, and a regiment
of rebel cavalry galloped in and drove the reg
iment off, so that the wounded had to be re-
signed. In the mean time a rebel brigade was
observed stealing down to the right, as if with
the design Of fanking our troops by taking up
position on the Williamsburg road. Captain
Petit at once planted two guns on the railroad
and swept the column with grape and canister
until they went back to the woods upon a run.
Some of the sharpest infantry fighting of the
war ensued, in which parts of Sedgwick's, Rich
ardson's, Hooker's, Keameys and Smiths di-
visions engaged with various success. The re-
bells came deteTminedly across the field, firing
as they advanced, until Gen. Summer ordered
our troops up at double quick to charge
About four thousand of them went off at once
with rosr that might have drowned the mus
kerry. The rebels kept their position for mo-
ment, and then fell back to the rear of their
batteries. Meagher's brigade, however, sue
ceeded in charging right up to the guns of a
Virginia battery, two of which they hauled off
spiked, and chopped the carriages to pieces.
The Eighty-sixth, Sixty-thrd and Sixty-ninth
participated in this gallant act. 1t was here
that the brave Col. Pierce, of the Twenty ninth
Massachusetts, regiment, formerly General
Pierce, of Bethel fame, lost an arm. 1t was
taken off by solid shot. Night came on, but
put no end to the carnage. The steady roar of
cannon, and the sharp, quick ring of musketry,
that rasping noise made by file firing, filled the
whole air. The darkness was litup by the ftful
flashes, and, to complete the awful picture, the
woods were set on fire by bursting shells, and
confagration painted fiery terrOrs on the sky.

THE SEVEN DAYS FIGATINU.-We give
on our 6rst page brief account of the late
battles near Richmond, together with a
well.written sketch of the battle of NAL
vern Hills, from the pen of a Ccrrespon-
who was OH the field. The hardest fought
battles were those at Gaines Mill, on June
9th, at Savage's Station on the 20th. at
White Oak Swamp, or Nelson's Farm, on
the Both, and at Malvern Hills, on July lst.
In all of these battles the Federals were
acting on the defensive, and during the re-
treat they merely succeeded in holding the
rebels in check. But at Malvern Hills
The rebels were so severely cut mp that
they were compelled to abandon their
welIplanned scheme OF crushing MeClel-
lan's army. We have no definite stale
ment yet as to the losses in these engage.
ments. The correspondent OF the New
York Times, writing July 5tb, estimates
the Federal losses. in killed. wounded and
taken prisoners, at $4,000; but dspalc b
of later date gave the number al 10000.
The killed aud wounded of the rebels is
supposed to exceed that OF the Federals,
but from the character Of the fighting, the
Federals being on the retreat, they lost
more prisoners than they took. The fight
ing on both sides was the hardest aud most
determined that has occurred during the
war, and to the courage and endurance of
the Northern TROOPS, rather than to any
superior generaship. is the salvation of the
army to oe attributed.

A DOOMED FAMILY.-The Fulton family,
referred to below by the Virginia City En-
terprise, formerly resided at MoOre's Flat,
in this county, but removed last summer,
or fall, to Washoe. One of the children,
George. aged seven years, was saved. The
Enterprise says:
Last winter there resided In this city family
by the name Of Fulton, consisting of six mem
bers-father, mother and four boys. During
the latter part of the winter the mother was
taken sick and died. Two weeks later, the
father died. The uncle of the children came to
take the children to the Atlantic States, and
they took passage on the steamer Golden Gate.
The name of the uncle and three Of the children
appears among the lost.

GEN. SUMNER.-The Richmond Examiner,
Of July 4th, announces that Gen. Sumner
was severely wounded and prisoner in
Jaokson's camp. The statement has not
been authoratively contradicted; but letters
from the army of a later date than July
4tb, say nothing Of Sumner having been
taken prisoner, although he was twice
slightly wounded during the seven days
battle. He was senior General at tho bat
tie of Malvern Hills, and during the weeks
fighting his corps was frequently engaged,
and be was regarded as one of the best Of
fcers in the army. Had he been captured
the fact would certainly have been men,
toned.

The Union Democratic Ticket.

We place at the head of our editorial col
umns the ticket nominated by the conven.
tIon on Saturday last, and shall support it
with whatever ability we possess. The del
eRates to the convention had no selfish
motives to subserve; were neither seeking
for nor expecting of6cej but conceiving it
to be their duty to maintain resolutely their
organization, have placed ticket in the
field, which, so far as we can learn il en-
tirely Acceptable to the party they repre-
sented. The detection in our ranks q week
or two ago, had, for the time being. dis
Couraging effect 10 this county, and some
were disposed TO give up the contest and
allow the fight to be made by the section
alists. But cooler and more patriotic
counsels prevailed; the ranks are closed up,
and the Union Democracy are now entering
upon the contest with Frightening prospects
and fair hope of success. We do not deem
il necessary. at present at least, to give any
extended notice of the candidates. They
are all old residents, and the most of them
we'll known throughout the county. They
were all warm supporters of Douglas in
1860, and not one of them to our knowledge
has ever been accused of disunonism or
secession sympatbies

STEAMSHIP DIsAsTERs.-1he burning Of
the Golden Gate is the third steamship dis.
aster on this coast, resulting in great loss
of life. BY the burning of the Independ.
ence, at Margarita Island, Lower Califor-
MIA, on the 10th of February, 1853, nearly
200 lives were lost. BY the wreck of the
Yankee Blade, on the coast OF Santa Bar
bara, in the fall of 1854, 4l6 persons we're
lost. 4he number on board the Golden
Gate, at the time of the late disaster, it is
now thought was 357, of whom 2l9 we're
lost.

SIERRA PoLITICs-The Union Democracy
ofSierra county have nominated Robt J.
Taylor for State Senator, andA J. Howe
and NJ. A. Singleton for the Assembly. The
Convention was held on the 9th inst. The
"Union" fusionists held a Convention on
the 9Th, and nominated Francis Anderson

TIE MANCHESTER CHtLDRES.-Some five

children of Mr. Manchester, who were for

in good circumstances, but has latterly be
come reduced, and we believe expended all
his means in paying the passage of bis
mOberless children to the East.

DEPARTURE OF THE FRENCH Princes

DEPARTURE OF THE FRENCH PRINCES
Prince de Joinville, accompanied by his neph-
ews, the Count de Paris and Due de Chartres,
visited Mrs. Gen. Mcclellan, at Orange,
N. j., July 6. They left for France on the
9th. 1t is perfectly understood that the reason
for the dedarture of the French Princes and the
English officers are entirely personal, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, and do not relate to the
military situation Of our army. The represen-
tatiyes of French royalty have been summond
to attend meeting of their family, to be held
in London about the middle ofthe present month
on business of vital importance to themselves
as claimants to the French throne. They had
announced their intention some weeks ago, to
leave at this time, and have made their arrange
ments accordingly.

REvoLUToNARY SIGNS IN RUssIA.-The
English Shipping Gazette says 1t is evident
the Russian Government associates the recent
fires with revolutionary movement of consid-
cradle magnitude. A city like St. Petersburgh
is never divided off into military districts and
placed under martial law in order to prevent or
control accidental confagrations; but where
such conhagrations result, or are supposed to
result, from revolutionary movements, the course
which has been pursued by the Government is
susceptible ofready and most satisfactory expla-
nation.
