that Lieut.. George w. Hoover, Of the 1ith (reyu.

recent seven days battles, or fell into the hands
Of the rebels, so seriously wounded al to make
his recovery improbable. He belonged to this
city.

VILE, Count de Paris, and Due de Charities have
participated In every battle before Richmond, on
the staff Of Gen. Mcclellan, up to and including
last Monday. They each rendered invaluable
service to the General.in- Chief The Prince de-
scribes a thrilling scene he witnessed In the
Thursdays fight, wherein one Of our batterie,
was taken. He says he saw every man at the
guns shot down except two, and those two stood
to their post and fred after the rebels In over
whelming numbers were near enough to seize
the other pieces. They suddenly disappeared,
but whether they were captured or killed Is not
known. This conflict was part Of that men
toned in McClellan's dispatch, where Mccall
was forced back by superior numbers Of the
enemy. The Count, in a personal conflict, cap.
tured a rebel Major, and his brother was con.
stantly conveying orders from Mcclellan to the
Generals in the field where the conflict was most
fearful.
