plaintiffs would be entitled to recover.
The Court also charged the Jury that
the subscription, taken with the charter,
raised the presumption that the term
Derby Line meant the north line OF the
town, and not the village; and that the
burden was upon the defendant to show
that at the time he subscribed, both he
and the plaintiff understood it to mean
the village, in order for him TO recover
That upon the face of the paper the cor
poration had fulfilled their part OF the
contract in locating the road to the north
line of the town, AMI not to Derby Line
yillage,-because from the papers them
selves the Court should infer that the
whole north line Of the town was meant,
and that if any particular place on The
line was intended, it was incumbent on
the defendant to establish it by fair bal
ance of testimony. If he failed to dc
this. the verdict should be for the plain

Rebel Accounts of the Battles

NEw York, July 4 The following
is from the Military Supervisor:
WASHINGTON, July 4. The Rich
mond Examiner of July "a gives the
following relating TO The battle OF Mon
day:
1t says that on Sunday morning Cen
erals Hill and Longsreet with their dl-
visions crossed the Oickahominy, and
late Monday afternoon attacked the enc
my about five miles Northeast of Dai'
leytown on the New Market road.
The conflict was terrible, and at half
past 8 P. NJ, the eremy had been driv'
en- back mile and half. AT halt-pas
9, being heavily reinforced, the enemy
made another stand
The loss here on our (rebeD side wa
terrible. The situation being evidently
hopeless against such overwhelming
|
forces, General Hill slowly retired.
At this moment seeing their adversar.
retire, the most vociferous cheers aros
along the whole Yankee line, Ihe hGi
ended there for the night.
The Examiner says it thinks the dlVI'
ion which went into the fight on trlda.
$4,000 strong-could only numbt
6000 men for duty on Tuesday, and th'
the loss of life exceeds that OF any pa
tie or series of battles yet fought.
About 8 A. NJ. Of Tuesday, the h.
aminer says, jackson and Ilngrr's divI
ions attacked McClelIan's left flank
the West side of The Chickahomlny,
} miles from Richmond.
, Later in the day Magruder fell uPt
his right flank. Fighting was going

lous reports, and to most emphatical'y
deny their truth, or even the slightest
foundation or shadow of truth.
Capt. West has proved to be an excel
lent officer, and in the care and we'll be-
ing of his company has been excelled
but by few, and has not been equaied BY
many other officers. If his acquain'an'
ces in Vermont were better informed
they would accord him merit instead o.
