GENERAL KIMBALL AMONG
THE Wounded
HEADQUARTERS ARMY PoToMAC,

DCC. IO-l1 r. NJ
The fog began to disappear early in
the forenoon, affording an obstructed
view of our own and the rebels positions.
1t being evident that the first ridge of
hills in the rear of the city, on which
he had his guns posted behind works,
could not be carried except by
charge of infantry, General Sumner as
signed that duty to General French and
division, which was supported by Gen.
Towards The troops advanced to their
work at 10 minutes before II clock, at
brisk run. The enemys guns opened
upon them a very brisk fire When
within musket range at the base OF the
ridge, our troops were met by terrible
fire from the rebel infantry, which were
posted behind stone wall and some
houses on the right of the line. This
checked the advance of our men, and
they fell back to a small ravine, but not
out Of musket range.
At this time another body OF men
moved to their assistance, in splendid
style, Notwithstanding large gaps were
made in their ranks by the Rebel srtil-
lery.
When our troops arrived at the first
| line of the rebel detenses, they double
quicked, and with fixed bayonets endeav-
ored to dislodgo the rebels from their
| hiding places. The concentrated force
of rebel artillery and infantry which our
men were forced to face, was too much
for them, and the center gave way in dis
order, but afterwards they were rallied
and brought hack. From that time the
fire was spirite6ly carried on, and never
ceased until after dark.
Gen. Franklin, who commanded the
attack on the left, met with better sue
cess. He succeeded after hard days
fight, in driving the rebels about one
mile.
At one time the rebels advanced to at
tack him, but were handsomely repulsed
with terrible slaughter, and the loss o.
between 400 and 500 prisoners belong
ing to Gen. A. p Hills division.
Gen Franklin's movement was direct
ed down the river, and his troops are
encamped tonight not far from the Mas
sapomix Creek.
Our troops sleep tonight where they
1ought to-day.
The dead and wounded are being car
ried from the field.
The following is list of officers killed
so far as yet known: Gen. jackson, Penn
sylvania Reserves, killed; Gen. Bayard
struck by shell, afterwards died; Gen
Vinton, wounded in side-not seriously
Gen. Gibbons, wounded in hand; Gen
Kimball, wounded in thigh; Gen. Cald
well, wounded in two places-not seri
ously; Gen. St Clair, of Pennsylvania
Reserves, wounded seriously; Capt. Hen
erickson, commanding 9Th New Yorl
State Militia, wounded seriously.
The firing of musketry ceased at
o'clock this evening, but the rebels cor
tinued throwing shells into the city unit

Reply Of The Majority.

The following paper was accordingly sent
to the President, signed by the majority Of
he Representatives from the Border Slave
J. olding States:
WASHINGTON, July IA, 1862.
"a the President:
The undersigned, Representatives OF
-Acntucky, Virginia, Missouri, and Mary
land, in the two Houses Of Congress, have
listened to your address with the profound
sensibility naturally inspired by the high
source from which it eminates, the earnest
ness which marked its delivery, and the
overwhelming importance of the subject
Of which it treats, We have given it q
most respectful consideration, and now
lay before you our response. We regret
that want of time has not permitted US to
make it more perfect.
We have not been wanting, Mr.. Presi,
dent, in respect to you, and in devotion to
the Constitution and the Union. We have
not been Indifferent to the great dtiicul-
ties surrounding you, compared with which
all former national troubles have been but
as the summer cloud and we have freely
givin you our sympathy and support. Be
pudiating the dangerous horesics Of the
secessionists, we believed, with you, that
the war on their part is aggressive and
wicked, and the object for which it was to
be prosecuted on ours, defined by your
message at the opening of the present Con
gress, to be such as all good men should
approve, we have not hesitated to vote all
supplies necessary to carry it on vigorous
ly. We have voted all the men and money
you have asked for, and even more; we
have imposed onerous taxes on our peo-
pie, and they are paying them with cheer
fulness and alacrity; We have encouraged
enlistments, and sent to the field many Of
our best men and some of our numbsy

And we have the enormous
sum of S17S,07S,33l
We did not feel that we should be iusti~
fed in voting for measure which, if car.
ried out, would add this vast amount to
our public debt, at a moment when the
treasury was reeling under the enormous
expenditures of the war.
Again, it seemed to us that the resolu-
ton was but the annuncation of a senti,
ment which could not or was not likely to
be reduced to an actual, tangible PROPOSE
tion. No movement was then made to
provide and appropriate the funds required
to carry it into effect and we were not en-
couraged to believe that funds would be
provided, And our belief has been fully
justified by subsequent events. Not to
mention other circumstances, it is quite
sufficient for the purpose to bring to your
notice the fact that, while the resolution
was under consideration in the Senate,
our colleague, the Senator from Kentucky,
moved an amendment appropriating $780,.
600 to the object therein designated, and
it was voted down with great unanimity,
What confidence, then, could we roasona-
bly, feel that, if we committed ourselves to
the policy ii proposed, our constituents
would reap the fruits of the promise held
out; and to what ground could we, as fair
men, approach them and challenge their
support
The right to hold slaves is right ap-
pertaining to all the States of this Union.
They have a right to cherish or abolish
the institution, as their tastes or their in.
terests may prompt, and no one is author
lied to question the right or limit its en-.
joyment, And TO ole has more clearly
affirmed that right than you have. Your
inaugural address does you great honor in
this respect, and inspired the country with
confidence in your fairness and respect for
