BEN WOODS LAIE SFEMCH.
TEti1ul the Richmond Di5natch ,Iuuc II


IFrcn the Richmond Dispatch. June i'll
We print to day the speech Of Ben Wood,
Of New York, delivered q few weeks eioce IN
the federal House of Representatives. It will
be peruscd with intense interest BY every Que
who remembers the galiant position he main
taincd in defense Of the South long after the
commencement Of hostilities, in the very
uilst Of fanaticism and star-spangied banners,
pa1ing no iced to the cIamors Of 1le mob, hut
boldly and fcariessly boarding the Ion in his
den. The exception which We we'll take to
the speech will be found in this day-dreams Of
aaestoration Of the Union; for all such fancies,
: If they found o lodgnl Mt here, must have be=n
diErellcd BY the recent rapid development Of
feceIal plans and policy. The leaders st the
North have torn of the mask with which for a
time they sought to coycrup their real designs
and now unbiushiug1y proci lin Wanton,
cruel, inhuman crusade against the euEire
South for the ayowed purpose Of wrtsti ,g
from US eytry public privilege and every pri
vate right, Reconstruction is impossible.
Lie, liberty, and all are ut stake. But one
sentiment NC " nerv2des the Southern heart
al d that Is, we must and shall be free.
It appears that the abolitionists have deter
mined, since the deligery Of the speech which
We publish to-day, to crash its author aud pu
an fl ctua1 stop to any further public utter
ance Of his sensiments-
THE BATTLE NEAR PORT REPUBLIC.
[From the Richmond Dispa.ch, juno ell
It seems to be generally admitted that thi
battle must be designated as the battle o
ttCross Keys" The term, although deyiyes
from Yankee sources, seems to lave bee1

ceived from an officer who particIpated in lh
| engagement:
HThe b1ttle- aground is five miles from Por

action, and chiefly by Brig. Gen. Tfimble'
brigade On the right, who, hy. skiiful seleetio

1,1{.5 men, defeated, in four several charges
two full brigades Of the enemy, numberi1
Over Coco men, and two batteries OF artillery
killing and wounding OF the enemy over 3. .0of
and with a loes in his o#n brigade Of only II
Killed and wounded. -
Perhaps no action during the war has ez
hihited such brilliant results, obtafued b
skill in mansuvering in field Us well 81 har

unexpected nn6 sudden nssaults upon the ez

No officer IN The shiny has gained suddenl
