Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tzibanc1
WASHINGTON, June E, 1862.
at the battle at the Chickahominy, Casey's
division Was completely surprlsed-our cx-
terror line pickets being at no point more than
5000 yards in advance.
The enemy drove them in without firing
gun, and in less than ten minutes we're attack
ing our main body.
Gen. Casey's division unsupported stood
their ground for three hours, q small proper
ton Of the men running, although cncom-
passed upon three sides By the enemy.
Onr loss In the battle is set down at
1000 in killed and wounded. 4 dispatch
| Of mine stating that in killed, wounded and
| missing our loss was 5000, which would be
| leEsencd, however, as attempted to be sent
| for two days, but was suppressed on the
| grounds that it was exaggerated, hut subse-
| quent reports justify it very nearly,
| NEW YoRK, June 6--TheH Herdll's correspond
| ent says some Of the prisoners taken in the bat
tie on Sunday, who we're brought to heudluar-
| tiers, say that extraordinary pains were taken
| By the rebels to kill "that one-armed devil"
meaning Gen. Kearne5. It seemed to them
that he bore charmed life, aad WAS one Of
| their most dangerous adversarles.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says pri-
yatc adyices from reliable sources report
flood upon the upper Potomac and the Rap
pahannock, and that the bridges have been
carried away. The loss Of the bridges upon
the Rappahannock is now considered serious.
The New York Times dispatch says: tx We
are still without any official record OF thc
killed and wounded at the battle before Rich
| mond. Crowds Of tile relatives and friends
of those engaged are arriving By every train,
49, 49, S%,&1 t~.&
far they have come in vain The answer to
| the many inquiries at the War office is that no
| authentic list Of the casualties has been re-
ceiyed- 1t is probable that the Secretary OF
War will provide that in future the surgeons
| Of regiments shall report through the brigade
and division commanders, as soon as possible
after the battles, accurate lists Of the killed,
wounded and missing.
The New York 7Tibnae's dispatch says re-
leased Union officer, who WIS ten days In tue
| hands of the rebels at Winchester, where he
talked freely with their officers, says they look
forward to the destruction of their great
armies as thing sure to happen sooner or
later, and made up their minds to take to the
| bush and wage guerrilla or partisan warfare,
in which they said they feel themselves st
I home.
All the officers struck our informant as
fine set OF men, who we're devoted body and
soul to the cause Of the rebellion; but he
thought that most of the soldiers seemed not
| to have their hearts in the business.

pordcnt states that tho 100th regiment, which
