my, this was hardly the time to adjust
ones toilet.
Meantime the contest ragged with terri
BILE fury along our whole front and right.
Exploding shells filed the air, and rifed
shot screamed overhead. So thick was
the cloud of dust enveloping the field, it
was impossible, except from the sound, to
determine which way the tide of battle
ebbed or flowed. The gunboats kept up
a discharge of their heavy shells upon the
enemy's position. Provost Marshal Por-
ter meantime took charge Of the disabled
and sick soldiers, and cond Quoted them to
the rear. A large number of stragglers
filled the road, who seemed to have busi-
ness in an opposite direction from that in
which the enemy wa coming.
The Prince De Joinville, with the Duke
De Chartres and the Count De Paris, took
charge of dispatches for the Government,
and Gen. Mcclellan accompanied them as
for as the gunboat Jacob Bell, on board
of which he babe them a final adieu to-
| ward evening. The crew manned the
rigging, and cheered as the General re-
turned to headquarters.
The days contest wound up by di-
minuendo of musketry, and by dark all
firing, except an occasional shot, had
ceased. 1t was too late to obtain any list
of killed and wounded, or in fact to learn
definitely the result of the fight. The
Jacob Bell went down to City Point or
dering up the Southfeld, land all the other
vessels lying below.
1t should be borne in mind that the
wide bottoms along the river separate the
gunboats in many places, some two miles
from the forces operating on the hills.-
The gunboats Galena, Maratanza, Aroos-
took, Maraska and Port Royal, are near
by, and ought to be able to render valua-
BILE assistance to the army until it can be
placed in position to operate. The indi-
cations are that the enemy will continue
to harass our position and give the troops
no rest, day or night, until they have
been dislodged or compelled TO embark.
Should affairs reach the latter crisis, where
are the transports to receive such an AZ
my on board, with its immense material
of war? There are scarcely vessels
enough now in the James River to take
on board the wounded and sick, to say
nothing of the army.
The Jacob Bell having returned from
City Point, was dispatched, about ten o.
clock P NJ, to Fortress Monroe, with the
Prince De Joinville and companions, who
it was understood, carried dispatches t.
the War Department.
When the steamer left, all was quie
along the river, and it was supposed tina
our forces were holding their position a
Melvern Hills.
The results of this contest are no
known Tho fight was a most determin
ed one on both sides.
Transports and steamers were proceed
| ing up the river; among them the Wilson
Small, of the Sanitary Commission. Al
, | their vessels will be needed to remove tn
sick and wounded. Fairly arrangement
will no doubt be made by the Govern
ment for the recovery of the wounde
from Savage's Station and from the battle
field of Gaines Hill.

The WAY TO DO IT.-The Nashville
Union says: ~ aaa
We are glad to know that measures are
on foot and under successful prosecution
to raise five thousand troops in each d,
vision of Tennessee, or fifteen thousand
troops in all, for the Federal service in the
State. The men engaged in the work are
The most popular and reliable, and IN.
waveringly loyal. They will do their
work effectually and not leave a vestage
of rebellion to pollute the State.
This is one of the great avenues through
which to get at the throat of the rebel
lion. When, finding Northerners and
Southerners together against them for pre-,
serving the good old Union, the. masses Of
the Confederates will begin to ask them
selves "what is all this worth ?" One
such Regiment, as above alluded to- i
worth more than three from the North.
The effect can but be tremendous

BRUTAL ASSAULT. - Mr.. Charles Sillo-
way, of this village, and Engineer upon the
Rutland & Washington Railroad, was way
laid AID brutally beaten on Saturday even
ing about halfpast ten o'clock, upon the
grounds Of the Rutland & Burlington Rail
road. Mr.. Sillowsy runs in the Saratoga
train arriving at hslf-past ten, and had put
his engine up and was going home, and
when on the West side Of the Depot ground
and while passing around car standing
thereon, he heard footsteps and felt blow
upon the head which rendered him insen-
sible. HE remembers nothing more, but
arrived home about twelve o'clock in a
bleeding and partially insensble condition
with his head and face badly bruised and
clothes torn. Upon examination yesterday
morning, blood was traced from where the
assault was committed down to the banks
of East Creek, where piece Of Mr.. ST.
coat was found, and from there to his house
in the southwest part of the village. Whe-
Their the villains supposed they had killed
him, and took him down the river for the
purpose of disposing of his body, or whether
he wandered there in an insensible condi
ton, cannot be satisfactorily determined, but
we think the most reasonable conjecture is
the latter.
We understand that some trouble was
had on the evening of the Fourth on the ex
cursion train from Whitehall with some
drunken Irlshmen from West Rutland-al
though we did not understand Mr. S. was il
it-and it is conjectured that the assault
upon Mr. Silloway grew out of that.
gsThese assaults are growing altogether too
frequent of late, and we trust our authori
ties will take stringent measures to ferrlt GU
the guilty parties. Only last week Mr.
| Edward Plaisted, while walking upon tn
Railroad track from Centre Rutland, in tn
| evening, was assaulted and badly beate
| with club by some unknown enemy, an
without, to bis knowledge, giving any prov
ocation for the same. Let the rascals b
| promptly ferreted out and dealt with in tn
most summary manner. --#h

The FEMALE REBELS AT BATON
RoUGE.-The correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press says:
Brigadier General Williams occupies
the house Of Gen. Taylor, which the lat
ter resided in when in command of the
U. S. forces some years ago. General
Williams is greatly annoyed with visitors,
particularly ladies'. The latter are al
most uncomfortable. They make all sorts
of requests, and when refused are very
insolent. A lady and her husband Wis
tied him yesterday. The lady desired to
obtain pass to leave the city, which
was refused, when she sprang up, exclaim-
ing, 81 knew it, and did not expect any
thing better from a Yankeer Two
otner young ladies called to make SINH
lar request and upon being refused, the
scene was almost indescribable. The
General told them they were beautiful
but if they did not stop their abused he
would lock them up in comfortable cells
upon which they retired, somewhat sub.
dued.

CORRECTION. John Cain, Esq, of the
Courier, handed US the following for publica-
ton in our columns. We cheerfully comply
with his request:
Mr.. Cain, of the Courier, desires the Her.
aid to say that the proceedings of the Bellows
Falls State Convention as given by the Bos-
ton journal is incorrect in relation to himself
In the Journals report appears the following
paragraph:
"For the same reason Mr.. Atkins of Bel
lows Falls opposed it, and also Mr.. Smith Of
Milton. During the remarks of the latter he
reprobated several acts of President Lincoln
since his election, and said that during the
war in Mexico there was 20 more dsIoyal
demagogue than Abraham Lincoln. He is
loyal to the country, Mr.. Cain said, only
when it suits his purpose, and he read ex-
tracts from Congressional speech made by
Mr.. Lincoln, in which he claimed that peo-
pie could shake off their existing government
and form new one. Mr.. Cain spoke foi
some time, denouncing the President, and
was very personal toward Mr. Stoughton
who preceded hun"
Mr.. Smith ought TO be substituted for Mr.
Cain in the above extract, as Mr.. Cain reat
no extracts whatever, neither did he de-
nounce the President or use apy personaltie
toward Mr., StoughtCn, while Mr.. Smith o
Milton, did read such extracts, and the repor-
ter of the Boston journal, as far as thu
above paragraph is concerned, undoubtedl,
means Mr.. Smith.

and it Was thought he would be ready
to-day for active operations, having mad,
an advance yesterday. In all these re-
spscts he has the advantage Of the enc
my, and has of course been able to re.
cuperats and bring his army again into
fighting condition more rapidly and Of
fectively.
General Frauklin's Corps of the Army
of the Potomac, with the commands Of
Generals Sumner, had already joined
him, together with the command of Gen.
Banks, which was TEN porarily cut off by
the reverse of Saturday.
General Mcclellan has taken CON-
mand of the defences of Washington,
with all the troops and new levies in and
about the city, his old troops having
been all forwarded to Gen. Pope.
Many speculations are afoat with re-
gard to the condition of the enemy for
supplies and water, but thore can be no
doubt that the plan of drawing General
Pope to the south side of the Rappahau-
mock, and then making dash in his
rear, wa: contemplated for long time
previous to its having taken place, and
they had doubtless concentrated supplies
there for the emergency.
The rumored death of the Rebel Gen.
Ewell, and the wounding of Gen. jack
son, is not generally credited, though in
so fierce conflict they have doubtless
lost many high officers.
The propriety of making an immedi-
ate advance on the enemy is extensively
discussed, some preferring that time
should be given for the organization and
drill of the new troops, and others that
he blow should be struck at once, be-
ore the enemy has time to rccuperatc.
General Pope, however, knows the con-
lition of the enemy better than those
Fho discuss the point, and will doubt
ess take such course as will be most to
he advantage of the cause. He is still
being reinforced, which indicates an in
ention to advance at an early day on the
'nemy, rather than fall back on Wash

n. Carolina Congressional Election

In the recent instructions of President
Lincoln to Governor Stanly says q Wash
ington correspondent, directing him to
order the election of represe natives in
Congress from the Fnst and Second dis
tricts of North Carolina, there is sig
nifcnnce beyond the mere addition of
two members to the House. The Pres
ident therein, emphatically and explic-
lilly recognizes the unimpaired State
character, not only of North Carolina,
but of all the other seeded States. He
regards them as still possessing, although
now temporarily in allegiance, all the
functions and sovereignty Of States in
the Uuion.
The claim Of the abolition ultras in
Congress. headed by Charles Sumner, is
that the seeded States have lost their
character and dignity as States, and
should henceforth be regarded only as
Territories, until such time as they shall
have reorganized loyal State govern
ments within their boundaries.
But the President, as q conservative
and constitutional man, rcpudiates and
disavows this suicidal policy, by provi-
ding, as this precedent provides for all
future similar cases, that just so far as
any portion of district of any Southern
State returns to its national allegiance,
SO shall the equality of political rights
and mower of its citizens he recopnized
by the government, and they shall be
admitted-at onoc to peership in federal
representation. fas
