The War Department this p. NJ
FIELD or BATTLE, June l.
We have bad desperate battle in
which The corps of Generals Sumner,
Heintzellnan, and Keyes were engaged,
against greatly superior numbers.
Yesterday at one o'clock the enemy,
taking advantage Of the storm, which
flooded the valley Of the Ch;ckahominy,
attacked our right wing.
Gen. Casey's division. which was in
the first line, gave way unaccouutably.
This cansed temporary confusion, during
which the guns AMI baggage were lost,
but HcinfzeIman and Kcarny most gal
lantly brought up their troops, which
checked the enemy.
At the same time I succeeded, BY
great cxcrtion, il bringing across Gener-
ais Sedaw:ck's and Richardson's divisions
who drove back the enemy at the point
Of the bayonct, covering the ground with
his dead.
This morning tie enemy attempted to
renew the ccLhict, hut was everywhere
repulscd
We have tal:en many prisoners, among
whom are Gen. Pettigrew and Col.
Lorg-
Our loss is heavy, but the enemt's
must be enormous.
Excepting Casey's division, tho men
behaved spendidIy. Several fire bayo-
net charoes were made.
G. B. McCLELLAs.
During the whole of the battle Of this
morning Professor loves balloon was
overlooking the scene at an attitude of
1000 feet. Te!egraphic communication
with the military wires were successfully
maintained, Mr.. Parko Spring, of Phil
adeIphia, acting as operator. Every
movement Of the enemy WAS observed
and Immediately reported. This is be-
lieyaL to be the first time balloon re
connoissance has been successfully made
during battle. and certainly the first
time the telegraph station has been estab-
liShcd in. The air to report the movements
If an enemy and the progress Of n battle.
The advantage to Gen. Mcclellan must
have been immense.
II is understood That dispatches have
been received by the War Department
from Gen. Mcclellan which indicate
speedy occupation of R;chmone. All the
news received is favorable, and the latest
advices in regard to the fight before
Richmodd on Saturday represent the
battle as Of great importance, and the
union success undoubtcd.

We have made the above REDUCTION N
PRICES with tie two-fold view of beneftting
the public aud ourselves. The public have
been swindled by spurious machines made in
imitation of OURS. The metal in them, from
the iron casting TO the smallest piece. is of
poor quality. Their makers have not the
means to do their work well. They are hid
away i'll secret places. where it would be I'M
possible TO have at their command the proper
mechanical appliances. Il is only by doing
great business. and having extensive manu-
featuring establishments, that good machines
can be made at moderate prices. The best
designed machines. BADLY MADE, are ALWAYS
liable to get ont of order, and are sure to cost
considerable trouble and money to keep them
in repair.
The qualities to bc looSed-fur IN machine
are ceftaiuty of correct action at all rates of
speed, simplicity of construction. great dura-
b:lity. and Eapidity of operation. with the
least labor. Machines. to combine these es-
seutial qualities, must be made Of the best
metal. and finished to perfection. We have
the ways and means, on a grand scale, TO do
this.
The purchasers Of machines, whose daily
bread It may concern. viii find that those
having the above qualities not only work well
at rapid as we'll as slow rates of speed but
last long in the finest possible working order
Our machines. as made bv US. will earn more
money with less labor than any others. wheth-
er IN imitation of ours or not. In fact. they
are cheaper than any other machine as gift

likely they have gone with Generai BeauregaTj

One theory about Beaureg ards movements Is.
that he Is going directly 20 Bowling Green. with
the intention Of attacking Gen Bnell's army
ms theory is not destitute Of pausibilIty. There
is an uninterrupted railroad communication be
tween Manassas and Bowling Green, and the roll
ing stock on the roads, al the control Of the Con
federate Government. is adequate TO the trans
pOrtatiOn of very large bodies Of troops. Taking
into consideration the condition Of the roads near
the Potomac, and the strength and extent Of his
defensive works there, Gen Beauregard would no
doubt feel safe in taking with him to Kentucky.

course. require some time for the transportation
of even half that number; but they would be ar
irving every day. And il Beauregard on his ar
rival at Bowling Green finds there already 50
900 troops, the chances are that he will at once
begin series of manpuvers with the view of
cutting off Gen. BuelPs army. One thing Is
certain: The first battles will now be fought not
on the Potomac, but in Kentucky.

who are Responsible for our luminous
CIVIL MAJ

In speaking OF the civil war raging, We
have always contended that the Abotionists
were, in great measure, responsible for it, as
their persistent attacks on the South and its in
sttutions. and opposition to every measure of
Cancellation or compromise had resulted in driving
the Southern people into rebellion. We have
been censured Tor this 10y some of our Republi-
can friends. but nevertheless firmly believe
We were right What do they think OF Hon } O.
seph Holt, of Kentucky? They generally admit
him to be 4 patriot and statesman, yet he takes
nearly the same grounds we have done. Here
is what he says on this subject:
We make no apology for this wicked effort i'm
the South to destroy the Government. We grant
the necessity OF SURPRISING it, but AbotioniSm
that has produced il, must also bc suppressed.
AbOlitiOnism aud SecessiOnism must be buried
in the same political grave The patriot who
loves his country must consent To sacrifice both.
Hon. ANDREW JOHNSON, the Union Senator
from Tennessee, who has made so many personal
sacrifices for the cause, also takes the same
grounds. In a speech at Columbus, OHIO, Oc-
tober 4, 1861, he said:
z would not be personal but an Aboitionist is
as much Secessionist any to be found il
South Carolina. Now, as much as these dis
unionists of both classes abuse each other, they,
nevertheless both unite in laying violent hands
upon the Government that never harmed either
Ii were an Abolitionist | would break up the
Union: for the disruption Of the Union must in
evitably destroy and obliterate slavery. Hence
we are for the prosecution of the to save the
Government as founded 10y our fathers-for re-

regard to the peculiar institutions Of any State
