From McCLELLAN's HEADQUARTERS,

June I'd, 1862.
We have taken some 500 prisoners,
among whom are several prominent
officers.
On Sunday, as soon as 1t was light, the
fight was renewed by Gen. Sumner, with
marked success, the fight lasting nearly the
whole day. Tue rebels were driven at
every point with hravy loss. The ground
ga ned 10y Gen Sumner was about Two and
half miles. Gen. HeinizeIman succeeded
on Sunday muII.iug 10 re 'aking the ground
lost the day before by Gen. Casey, after a
severe struggle. Our loss in the two days
engagement in killed and wounded is about
600. A great number are missing, WHO
will probably te'urn, having stray ed away
All the euemy's killed and wounded fell
into our b. nds The country in which the
battle was f~ught is swampy, with thick
underbrush The m st of the fighting was
in the woods Owing to the nature of the
ground; very little artillery was used.
Both balloons were up nearly all day yes
terday. All the troUps left Richmond and
marched out in the direction of the battle
field. The railroad las been of inestima bic
service. The cars run 10 within mile and
half of the battlefield, bringing forward
ammuniiion and supplies. The wounded
were Immediately put aboard the cars and
sent to the White House.
Gen McC,el LII arrived on the battle
field on Saturday evening where he has re
manned ever siuce directing all .he move
ments in prison. His presence among the
troops had ne fleet.
Four separate charges with the bayonet
were made during yesterday. In one in-
stance The enemy were driven mile, dur
ing which 40 rcbcls were killed with the
bayonet alone. Lieut.. Washington, aid to
Gen. Joe Johnson, was taken prisoner
The enemt's dead efC on the field
amount to over 1900.
Gen. Howe vas wounded twice in the
arm.
Col. Miller, OF rbe 28lh Penusy lvauia,
and Col R,ppy OF Pittsburgh was killed,
and Col Canpteil of Pennsylvania, was
wounded in the thigh.

wounded, and reported left on The field
Lieut.. Mayo, co A, slightly wounded, also
a number OF non-eommissioned officers and
privates.
The Times correspondent, speaking OF
the battle Of Sunday, says: Terribly did the
rebels suffer on this, as well as the previous
day, from the well directed Ere of eur ar
tilIery, piling the ground with the slain.-
Terrible also to them were the frequent
charges of our solid columns, pressing
them step by step to the last point of en-
durance, when they broke and ran inglori-
ously, leaving behind them many of their
men and officers as well as prisoners ia our
hands.

MCCLELLAN's He June 1.-Two days
OF The battle of Richmond have been fought
10 both of VIII ch we were victorious The
loss on both sides is heavy. The attack
was commenced at o'clock on SATURDAY.
morning by Hills division of FIVE rebel
brigades, mostly from South Carolina, Vir-
GINA, and Georgia, attacking Casey's di-
vision, near the turnpike leading over Bot
toms Bridge. This fight was disastrous to
u.s. Casey's brigade was forced to retreat
before superior numbers, leaving a | the
camp equippage and twelve batteries.
Col. Bailey, endeavoring to save the bat
teIies, was killed.
Some of the Pennsylvania and New York
troops behaved very badly. Many officers
we killed attempting to rally the men.
Hein'zalman ordered up portion of
Kearney and Hcoker's divisions. The for
mer charged the rebels with The bayonet,
driving them like Sheppard regaining LOST
ground, except half mile, when night
closed operations.
Summers two divisions, composed of
Sedewick's and Richardson's crossed the
Chickahominy Saturday AT 3 p. NJ, taking
position on Heintzelman's right. Here
they encountered LoBgstreet, Rains and
Hueer's divisions, composed of the flower
of the rebel army. Fighting was desperate
every inch being holly contested The
enemy stood fire, but in every instance fled
before the bayouet. These two divisions
did nobly, driving the rebels at every point.

and energy of ali classes of the peopIvs rom
the means heretofore employed.
The government is doubtful IS to the
wisdom Of electiBg members of Congress
months before taking their seats, as ques-
tons may come up for consideration,
ferent from those on which they were elect
ed, but he ventures no recommendation ia
the subject.
As TO the ordinance passed last NoVem-
Der ordering an election of executive Off
GERS, and for the ratification of the provis-
ionai government, which was postponed
until the coming August, be submits
whether it ought not to be annulled in
view OF the fact that sc, o30 citizens are alb
seat from the State as volunteers who ought
to have a voice iii this affair.
As to the oath of loyalty for the quaIifi-
cation of voters, he submits the question
without recommendation, although be
thinks the State ought to be protected
against the influences of those who have
been recreaEt to its interests.
Res olutions were introduced, authorizing
the President to appoint committees on
Congressional districts, elective franchise,
finance, militia and State constitution.
Some members are confident that the
question of emancipation will be voted out
OF consideration with the Convention while
others are saDguine that the Presidents
proposition will be discussed and recon-
mended. All seem agreed on stringent
measures against allowing active secession
lists TO vote at the coming election.

SPECIAL TO ST. LOUIS DEMOCRAT.

JEFFERSON CITY, June 3.-Tbe State
Convention met in Representative Hall
yesterday at noon, President WILSON in the
chair. There nOI being d quorum present
they adjourned Til 4 O'Clock P. NJ, when
the convention t-assembled and proceeded
to business, there Icing eight members
more than quorum present. A commu-
nication from the Governor was received
and read. He reviews the history of the
state Of affairs tor the last year in detail,
but espetilliy 10 reference TO the ProvIs-
ional Government In raising ADD supplying
troops, and expresses Ibe obligation the
State is under to tie General Government
for the promplness and liherality with
which its wants have been supplied.
There have been issued TO dIsbursinE
officers S720, 900 in State defence warrants,
and further amount of $55, 900 will have
to be issued. 100000 have been redeem
ed by receipts for taxes from forty-one
counties.
The depreciation of this paper the Gov
eInor attributes 10 interested parties, but
gives assurances that it is better secured
than any bank paper in the State, as it is
receivable for taxes, and in one year will be
redeemed; besides this, il has collateral
security of bank stocks, and the debt will
be assumed by the General Government.
The Provisional Government began with
an empty treasury. The credit of the State
was gone because the interest of our State
debt was not paid. Sheriff5 resigned rather
than collect taxes, and Low only Al coun-
ties have returned tax bills for 1861, and
out of $64O, 22O due from them, only $685.
386 have been paid in. From % couuries
not heard from, the amount due is very
large, but officers are finding it more easy
to make collections, and altogether the con-
dition of things is not worse than when the
present authorities received control of the
Government.
The bond holders will hardly expect the
July interest to be paid, but do not doubt
tie ability of the State TO pay ultimately.
The offices made vacant by the refusal of
the incumbents 10 take the oath of allegi-
ance, has, for the most part, been accepted,
and in most parts of the States the courts
are open, and the laws properly administer
ed, but ia others crimes are committed I'M
der the name of Guerilla warfare. But a
sufficient force is now prepared to compel
cessation of such oCtrages.
Troops hostile to the people and the in
situations of the State, have been supplant-
ed by the home volunteers, who will be less
Objectionable.
The praise for securing peace and pros
perity of the State will be due to the patri-
otism of the convention.
Much remains to be done, and nothing
must be allowed to distract the attention.

both officers aud men.
Gen.. Saxton will report himself at
Washington. He has had a difficult task
before him, holding Jackson at bay, and
Trimble at the head of not less than U.s.

Their pickets kept in sight, but retreated
