re- Rev Henry Ward Beecher. in the
course of his sermon at the Plymouth church,
Sunday night, made an eloquent plea for
newspapers, speaking Of them as one of the
most potent elements of our civilization
"There is" said he, ga common vulgar objec-
ton about newspapers that they lie so they
don't lie any more than you do. Man is nat
urally lying creature. Truth is gift from
Heaven, and very few of US possess it before
they get there. The newspaper gives both
facts and rumors, and they would be blamed
if they did not do so. 1t is for the reader to
Judge of rumors. The last economy should
be in regard to newspapers. 1t is better to
deprive the body of some ribbon or jewel or
garment than to deprive the mind of its sus-
tenance.",

lery in position, and kept them back until We
got nearly all Of our troops over. The team
sters were panic-stricken and great confusion
followed. We lost all of our teams, and the
N. Y. regiment also lost theirs, besides many
other teams belonging to other regiments. -
Our teamsters fired most of their wagons be-
fore leaving them.
Being cut off, our colonel Cat suggestion
Of Major Sawyer) very wisely took US back
the pike and went toward the Allegheny
mountains, upon grade road, and took US
into Winchester about o'clock Sabbath
morning. Four pieces of the artillery came
round with US. The others were TAKEN
Quite quantity Of stores, both sutler and
commissary, was taken, but all was burned
that could be. Sunday morning, before s
o'clock, we were driven out of Winchester.
Gen Banks, before leaving, ordered three
pieces of artillery planted to the right and
left of the city, in order to give the baggage
wagons chance to get started, and to try
their strength. He kept the line of battle
formed, the batteries in position, until he dis
covered an overwhelming force moving with
steady line of battle upon US. He then
fired the town and ordered the men to fall
back, which we did in considerable confusion
until after We were out of the city. The Sd
squadron under Capt Preston, composed of
companies d and l, was ordered to cover the
retreat, consequently were the last to leave
the city. regret to say that the citizens,
women included, fired upon us from the WIN
dows of houses as We left, and shot one man
of Go. ID. The boys say woe to that city if
our troops ever march back through it again.
We were sheled all of the way to Martins
burg, and there, fearing that Banks had been
reinforced, they did not press upon us hard.
| | must not forget to speak of the good la
dies of Martinsburg; they crowded the streets
with refreshments for the soldiers
| The next morning We found ourselves up
on the banks of the Potomac, and were all
crossed over before night. Some mules and
horses were drowned and some baggage los,
in the river. We are now in camp just back
of Wiliamsport.
But it does not require more than a single
glance from patriots eye to inform hin
that ne is on the wrong side of the Potomac
Our troops do not belong on this side of tht
Potomac while the present rebellion is in ex
stence. One thing is certain, we need no
count upon the idea that the rebels will no
fight, for they will, and what is wanted nov
is men enough to put down this hellish re
bellion. 1t is better to have two millions 81,
months, than half a million two years to &C
complish the work. Yours truly,

The Vermont Cavalry.

There is an exceedingly gratifying reduc-
ton of the loss of the Vt. cavalry in Gen.
Banks retreat, as first reported. and it is
hoped it will be still further reduced as strag-
glers come in. 1t appears that at times
something like panic seized upon portions
of Gen Banks command, and it is not sur
prising that the first reports of the missing
should be materially lessened by later news.
The correspondent of the New York World
has the following:
This fatal catastrophe is said to have been
the result of an unauthorized order to charge,
given by Major Collins, the third officer in
command, who was taken prisoner by the
rebels.
Ii so, he has much to answer for, and we
hope he may be able to show himself inno-
cent of so serious an accusation.
The New York Tribune has the following ::
The following is a list of the names of the
sick and wounded soldiers who have Just re-
turned from Gen Banks division.

OFFICIAL FROM THE REBELs.-Beauregard
has at last made his official report of the bat
tie OF Shiloh (Pittsburg Landing) He
makes strong effort to prove that his defeat
was victory, but he makes sorry Job of it.
He admits that he had l,72S men killed on
the field, S,Ol2 wounded, and $50 missing
making total of 1O,699. 1t is not probable
that he would report the loss any more Sc
we're than it was. Among his heavy losses
he reckons the commander-in-chief, Albert
Sidney Johnston, Geo. NJ. Johnston, the reb-
ell provisional governor of Kentucky, Briga-
der Generals GLADDEN. and Hindman, and
one major general and four brigadiers severe
ly wounded. He gives the exact number of
the federal forces engaged,but makes no men.
ton of his own; leaving US to infer that they
were much larger-if otherwise why keep i,
secret. The facts probably are that on Sun.
day his forces outnumbered ours two to one
If anything were needed to satisfy US of the
terrible slaughter at this battle, this officia
paper from Beauregard would convince US.

The Movement upon Richmond.

The great contest in front of the rebel cap
ital having opened, the preparatory move
ments have new interest. The following
is Gen McClellan's order for crossing the
Chickahominy, issued on the 25th:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC, }
CAMP NEAR Coal HARBoR, Va.
May %, 1862.
Upon advancing beyond tie Chieka-
hominy the troops will go prepared for bat
tie at a moments notice, and will be entirely
unencumbered, with the exception of ambu-
lances. All vehicles will be left on the east
ern side of the Chickahominy, and carefully
packed. The men will leave their KNAPP
sacks, packed, with the wagons, and will car
ry three days rations. The arms will be put
in perfect order before the troops march, ard
a careful inspection made of them, as well as
of the cartridge boxes, which in all cases viii
contain at least forty rounds: twenty addl-
tional rounds will be carried by the men IN
their pockets. Commanders of batteries will
see that their timber and caisson boxes are
filled to their utmost capacity. Command
attention to the fulflment of these orders.
and will personally see that that the propei
arrangements are made for packing and
properly guarding the trains and surplu:

to prevent the ambulances from interfering

guards and staff officers viii be detailed Il
carry out these orders. The ammunition
wagons will be in readiness to march 10 thei
respective brigades and batteries at mo
ment's warning, but will not cross the Chieka
! hominy until they are sent for. All quarter
masters and ordnance officers are TO remain
with their trains.
lin the approaching battle The gen
eral commanding trusts that the troops Wi
preserve the discipline which he has bee
SO anxious to enforce, and which they har
so generally observed. He calls upon al
the officers and soldiers to obey prompt
and intelligently all orders they may receive
let them bear in mind that the army of tn
Potomac has never yet been checked, an
let them preserve in battle perfect coolnes
and confidence, the sure fcrerunner of su.
sess. They must keep well together, thro
away no shots, aim carefully and low, al
above all things rely upon the bayonet.-
Commanders of regiments are reminded
the great responsibility that rests upon them
upon their GOODNESS, Judgment and diseretio
the destinies of their regiments and suees
of the day will depend.

The news of the week is interesting i'll the
extreme. Corinth, the stronghold Of the
rebels in the Southwest, has been evacuated,
and is now occupied by our forces. Gen
Halleck's Amy attacked them on all sides on
Wednesday of last week, and on Thursday
Gen Pope drove them from one of their out
er Notifications, and occupied it. They saw
that resistance to the Union army was use
less, and so they retreated southwark. The
retreat of the rebels from one of their stron-
gest positions, is a great victory for the Union
cause, and quite as valuable as if it had been
won by thousands slain. They were obliged
TO destroy large quantities of stores, and
much that they We're unable to dispose Of has
fallen into our hands in the vicinity of Cor
NTH. 1t is the opinion of Gen Halleck that
Beauregard was in command, and ordered
the retreat and the fact that this confessed
ly skillful general should be forced to aban-
don his chosen position, is proof of the
weakness of the rebel army and the strength
of the Union cause in the Southwest.
The information We are thus far able 20
gain of the battle near Richmond is very
meagre, but fully confirms the decisiveness of
the victory. The enemy, 10000 to 10000
strong, commenced the attack at about o.
clock Saturday, and the vigor with which
they pressed forward to the attack plainly
indicated the confidence of superior strength.
But the strength of our reserves could not
be estimated by the weakness of our advance
regiments and though our force was driven
backward on Saturday, the tide of battle was
turned on Sunday by the well-trained troops
of Sumner and Heintzelman, who had cross.
ed the Chickahominy Saturday night. Our
loss is stated at 5000 in killed and wounded,
and that of the enemy must have been much
greater, 1900 Of their dead having been left
on the field. Our army is now within five
miles of Richmond, but the enemy show no
disposition to fight again, and it would not
be strange if we soon hear of another evac-
uation.

OUR LOSS HEAVY-TnAT OF THE
REBELS ENORMOUS.
The Enemy Everywhere Repulsed.
REBEL GENERAL TAKEN PRISONER.

WASHINGTON, June l. The following dis
patch was received at the war department
this afternoon:
FIELD OF BATTLE, June LIE NJ.
We have had desperate battle, in which
the corps of Generals Sumner, Heintzelman
and Reyes have been engaged against greatly
superior numbers. Yesterday at l o'clock
the enemy, taking advantage Of a terrible
storm, which had flooded the valley of the
Chickahominy, attacked our troops on the
right flank. Gen Casey's division. which was
in the first line, gave unaccountably and dis
untedly. This caused confusion, during
which the guns and baggage were lost, but
Generals Heintzelman and kearney most
CALAMITY brought up their troops, which
checked the enemy. At the same time, how
ever, we succeeded by great exertion in bring
ing across Generals Sedgwick and Richard
sons divisions, who drove back the enemy at
the point of the bayonet, covering the ground
with his dead. This morning the enemy at
tempted to renew the conflict, but was every
where repulSed. We have taken many pris-
oners, among whom is General Pettigrew
and Colonel Long. Our loss is heavy, but
that of the enemy must be enormous. With
the exception of General Casey's division, the
men behaved splendidly. Several fine bayo-
net charges have been made. The I'd Excel
sior regiment made two to-day.

of the battle this morning Professor Lowe:

from an altitude of about 2000 feet. Teie

Gen Mcclellan and in direct connection will
the military wires was successfully maintain

+ Every movement of the enemy was obvi
Gus and instantly reported. This is believed
to be the first time in which balloon recon
noissance has been successfully made durin:
a battle, and certainly the first time in which
