Correspondence Of the N. Y. Evening Post
BEFORE RICHMOND, June 6.
The chosen and heralded line Of defence, up.
on which the Federal army was requested by
the rebels to form its line of attack, was the
Chickahominy River.
This river is formed by the junction of the
Horsepen branch, Rocky branch, North run
and Brook run, near Meadow Bridge, directly
north of Richmond FIVE miles. All these
streams and several others too small to have
names, rise within ten miles northwest of Rich
mond, in rough, unfertile country. exceed.
ingly broken and unfit for cultivation, except
by the class ofpoor semi barbarous whites who
manage to exc out miserable ignorant and
worthless existence.
6. z2F MEADOW BRIDGE.
Meadow Bridge is nearly due north Of Rich
mond State House, five miles in a direct line by
railroad, and is the outlet of considerable
swamp, and the place Of crossing for Meadow
Bridge road and the Virginia Central and
Louisa Railroad.
The stream at this bridge is amere iusignif-
icant muddy brook, receiving another creek
from the Richmond side, short distsnce be-
low. Less than two miles from Meadow Bridge
is the bridge of the Mechanicsville turnpike,
four and one half miles from the Confederate
capital and fifteen from Hanover Court House.
Some two miles further on it receives small
creek with the suggestive name Of Brandy Run
and from this point it grows considerable
wider, more sluggish, with swampy shores at
intervals, and low banks often overHowed-
Near this place is small bridge, and road
crosses, but has the appearance of being little
used.
Four miles from Mechanicsville turnpike
bridge is New Bridge, in direct line northeast
from the city six miles, and seven and half
miles by the road. Four miles further, aud
directly east from the city is military bridge,
over which Gen. Sumner crossed in the part he
has taken in the advance to Richmond, and in
the fight at Fair Oaks.
BOTTOM BRIDGE. 1s8
From this brigde three miles further to Bot
tom Bridge, the banks of the stream are quite
swampy, but it is still of no considerable size,
although several creeks have emptied their
| waters into it. A mile before reaching Bot
tom Bridge it is crossed by the Richmond and
York River Rsilroad. The course is east-south
east, SO that it is constantly leaving Richmond,
and at Bottom Bridge is fifteen miles away
| from the city. M s ~
Its nearest point is At Mechanicsville bridge
The bank of the stream ON the north side il
for the most part rolling bluffs covered with
forests, with an occasional opening, where car
be seen finely situated plantations.
Upon the south side Of the stream, aud from
one 70 two miles from the bank, considerable
bluff extends the entire distance to the vicinity
ofthe lower military bridge. This bluff is high
est opposite New Bridge, where point Of it i:
known at Lewis Hill ic6q =.
