THIRD LETTER,

HAAnuRG, Tenn, May IL. 1862.
u.4riug number Of conflicting reports
cor corning the Reconnaissance on Friday last,
frons Gcn. pope's division, I came to this
place :h!s morning for tic purpose Of getting
at tbc facts. TAe landing at Hamburg is su-
pesi..r to that at Pittsburg, in that there is
mere room to store merchandise, and more
sI"ce for tile wagons to receive and convey it
ort 10 tie front. The place is q miserable lit
1essraGg Gglipg village, with little dilapidated
frame church, now used as 8 hospital, q
few frame and log tenementS, used as stores,
al one or two small dwellings. At best, it
must have bad but sickly existence. It is,
however, a faiz specimen Of village in slave
StEte. The incubus Of the diabo1ica1 institu-
tion rests upon everything around you
htre. W1etcheduess and saualor in the
midst ofnatural plenty, ,vacuity Of countenance
in men, women and children, and the im~
prints OF famine upon the beasts Of the field,
are the characteristics of Southern life, so far
ss have had the means of observing it.
at Hamburg l had the pleasure Of Al intro
duction to Capt j. L. Dodds, U. s. Quarter
master, and partook Of the hospita}ities OF his
quarters. He is kept busily engaged here as
are all men in government employ in posts
which are the basis Of large army operations.
It will be remembered that our troops had
quite a brisk skirmish with the enemy near
Pennington On Thursday, on which occasion
The 7th Illinois cavalry charged into wood
in which the enemy are found to be posted in
much stronger force than had been expected.
In this skirmjsh Major z. Arlington lost his
life, and the cavalry under his command were
compelled to fall back. Tho operations OF the
day were such, however, as to lead to the be-
lief that the enemy were not 80 strongly
posted but that they might be easily
dislodged on the morrow. This attempt
was accordingly nlado on Friday, the
| 9Th, the troops chosen for the operation being
| The brigade Of Gen. Palmer il Gen. Payne's
| Division Of Gen. Pope's army corps. The reg
i1nents Of the brigade are rs follow: Tue
| Twepty-eccoud Illinois, Lieut. Col Heart !;
| 9Th Illinois, Col. Harrington; 42d Illinois,
Col. Roberts; 5lst Illinois, Col. Cummings.
The force was accompanied by Hiscock's Mis-
nois, 18th Illinois. 8th Wisconsin, and 11th Mis-:
/ souri, also Of Gen. Payne's Division. The
| troops advanced to within a short distance Of
Pennington, driving the rebel pickets: which
appeared to be In large force before them.

Rebel Observation-Disclosures Escape of
GEN. Mcclellan.

l1UIktVHn Lol ILL., Nomme1Cl1l, 19th.I
In my letter, towaricd yesterday, mcn-
toned The diaholism Of the rebels in plant
ing torpedoes in the forts. Since then, We
have found then, in the highways, at points
wherr the coward]y enemy knew We must
pass. They we're so arranged that the step
ot man would explode them. General
Mcclellan narrowly esraped destruction from
them. Ho was pushing to the front In his
heavy ambulance. The road was blocked at
point which intersected rebel epau1ment
Ills driver andcr ook to drive to the right, but
Was fortunately checked by some obstruction.
On attempting to remove it he discovered a
bed of ftorpedoes almost under the wheels Of
the vehicle. Had he driven a few feet further
the Conmsnderin- Chief might have been
blown TO atoms. In the principal for OF
Yorktown, John Green, ofCo]onc1 Ovens 6:th
Pennsylvania regiment, WAS killed. He
stepped On enc Of the internal machines and
one OF his legs was blown from bis body, fall
lug thirty feet beyond the mine which tte
poor fellow had sprung. He is the seventh
victim. I am constrained to SAY that these
1,lishaps are not clargeab9a to our command
ing officers. Every possible effort is made tc
prevent the troops from struggling, but theJ
will find their wHy through the lines. Some
| body is certainly at fault for not causing ths
tQrpedoes to be removed.
