ALL AsTRATEGIC MOVEMENT.

Nc" oIk, JuHe ~.
The New York Herald's report, dated
2sth, states that our killed wounded and
missing that day reached 200. Tie OBJ
jcct OF the movement was to bring Por-
ter's and other divisions into more close
connection with tie rest Of the army
in fact, changing the front of the whole
of our forces, with our centre and left
pressing the enemy on Richmond itself,
which would be precarious 1t was ex-
pccted on Saturday that it was virtual
surrender or vaeilating of the line of bat
tie, heretofore kept open TO Mechanics
vile, in order to have the whole force
within more effective distance, and also
to allow the rebels 70 follow up. and, if
possible, to bag them. Mcclellan ordered
Porter to withdraw to two miles this side
of Gaines Mills, early on Friday
morning, which was done The enemy
followed up, thinking they had gained
q victory over our troops. slowly moving
down in order, fighting as they went !;
crossed the Chickahominy, and reached
the position designated for their occupa-
ton. The rebels followed IN great force,
and by 3 o'clock p. M. was general and
heavy engagement here, lasting until I
clock, when lull took place but the
rebels again renewed with greater feroci-
ty, having been reinforced. Oar men
stood the unequal contest like heroes. and
did fearful execution. Our forces were
increased by Gems. Sl1cumb's, Palmer 8,
French's and Meagbers brigades. and
the rebels were badly beaten. Meagher's
brigade went into the battle with coats
off and sleeves rolled up, fighting like IT,
gers.
The ground which Gen Mcclellan or
dered Porter to occupy and hold was oc-
cupied and held in the first part Of the
day Gen. Porter's corps not onfy con
tended against the rebels, but subsequent
~ renforcements swelled the number to
$4,000.

The Davenport G0zefte and Burlington
Uawk,-Eye are alike mistaken 10 the i'm
preston that keokuk has been tho point
for the distribution of the Eastern Mails
for the State. And they are equally
mistaken in their impression that any re-
cent change has taken place in regard to
the matter of mail distribution at Keokuk.
Moreover, We think they are still more
mistaken in their impression that either
Davenport or Burlington would be suit
able point for the distribution Of the mails
between the East and Iowa. Chicago is
now the point for such distribution, and
should be continued so, for the present
At least. There are Ave or six railroad mail
routes from Chicago TO as many points
from Dubuque to Keokuk-on the eastern
line of Iowa, with connections thence into
the interior of the State. The Eastern
Mail distributed at Chicago reaches these
several points the same day. Let the dis
tribuiing Office be changed 20 Davenport
and large portion Of the mails, designed
for points along the routes vest Of oil the
points above and below Davenport, will be
sent there for distribution, and thus. in
the summer time, be delayed by river
ttp, up or down, to the proper destina-
ton on the river, or outlet west, and in the
winter by /" slow coach" or mud wagon
arrangement. and often the quickest route
would be back by Chicago. And, as a
consequence, the entire mails of lows,
except immediately west of Davenport,
will be delayed and deranged, while even
those places supplied by direct route from
Davenport, will mot be benefited in the
slightest degree, Notwithstanding the pre-
fences Of the Davenport Circular
The scfimmage between Davenport
and Burlington, over the reported death
Of the keokuk distributing office, reminds
US Of q quarrel we once heard Of between
tWo boys, in regard to the inheritance d
the property Of an uncle of whose death
they had heard. 1t turned out that the
uncle was not dead. and that they could
not have inherited his effects, even If be
bed been dead and 80 they hal boot
less quarrel, to soy the least. d
