tracts from a letter of Lieut. J. H. Baker, of this
city, to his wife
CAMP ~ TIE FIELD,
Near Richmond, June 2sth, 1862.
Ny Dear WIFE
Knowing that you will be anxious to hear
from me as soon Is possible after the fight, and
fearing VOC may hear all kinds Of rumors a. 70
what has happened, 1 hasten to write you.
As wrote you day before yesterday, We we're
ordered TO send all Of our baggage to the rear,
and prepare for an engagement. Captain B. Gil
roux being on picket duty, was ir command o!
the company. We received orders at 2 l-2 P.
n, to move forward TO MechanicsviIle and go in
with the Bucktail Rifles, aud do our best in re
paIsing the enemy until reinforcements could
come up.
Capt. Drew took command of the battalion,
and We double qucked up to the spot, where We
could net hear ourselves talk for the roar Of the
| cannonading and musketry. We rushed on, and
soon found ourselves within so feet of the reb
els.
Here each OF US took tree for q cover, and
began firing. and soon caused the rebels TO with.
draw. Our boys followed them across q little
brook to a fence. where the rebels we're a few
moments before. In . short time they came
down upon Us again, put their bayone.s through
the same fence, and fired at our infantry. Ny
boys lay in the brush, right under their very no
ses, and Messrs. Secesh soon fell back again.
By this time it was night, and hostilities ceas
ed We laid in the woods all night amid the
wounded and dying, whose groans we're almost
enough to strike terror to the heart
Up to this time only had one man wounded
VIM G. Conkright, private from near Dewitt.
He is wounded in the arm and side
The next morning, q little before sunrise, the
rebels came down upon US again. but We held
them as the night before. We fought till about
s O'Clock, when We we're ordered to retreat, and
we're informed upon emerging from the woods,
that all our forces had retreated. Leaving about
800 Bucktails and so Sharpshoo.ers to bring up
the rear (the rebels crowding close TO our heels,
We retreated, destroying the bridges as We went
We fell back to Gaines Mills, where was fought
one Oh the ndloest Dalttee ever iOugnt Dy 30 lev
men.
McCai's and Porter's divisions we're engaged
The rebels fought fercely and like demons
They rushed msdly upon our men and we're cut
down like sheep. But they we're too many for
Us, and We we're obliged TO retreat across the
Chickahominy. leaving the wounded, CT the mo.t
Of them, on the field.
Our losses are unknown As yet, a. they keep
coming in Sergeant Schofeld of nv company
ia said 20 be wounded. Capt. Giroux is missing,
bat We think he viii turn up before night.

Of War has Issued An order that no more official

that no more democrats are wanted. Free
Press, July llth.
We were net aware before, that the Free

Democrats Of Michigan. If the Secretary of
War had been advised Of the fact in season, he
probably would not have taken away from that
paper, the patronage of his Office; or the Sec
retary having read that loyal sheet, may have
come to the conclusion, that. its readers being
Of the same opinions of its editors, the call of
the President for more men would fall upon
unheeding ears and the money spent in adver
Using in it columns would be thrown away.
We can assure the Secretary Of War that he
has made great mistake. The Free Press is
very faI from having any legal title, to the De-
oocracy Of Michigan, although we believe it is

It is read BY . great many persons who are

We think the Secretary should revoke his
order.

DESTRUCTION OF VIcxSBuRG.-On Thursday
the Goth ult., the Gun Boats of the Upper and
Lower Mississippi formed junction near vicks-
burg. and at once opened fire. The City was
defended by two strong batteries, and the rebels
were determined TO make it one of their last
bitches" Their force is stated to have been
10000 The firing was continued throughout
Thursday, and on Friday morning it was direc-
ted upon the city. which was nearly destroyed.
The particulars Of the engagement have not vet
fully come to hand. but it appears certain, that
there is no longer any serious obstruction there
to the navigation Of the Mississippi.
The City Of Vicksburg has for many years
been pestilent hole. being the favorite resort
of thieves. blacklegs and assassins. 1t is to be
hoped that, like Sodom. it may Be DESTROYED
from the face Of the Earth 1t is stated that
5000 negroes are at work digging a canal
across the narrow neck of land two miles from
the city. thus changing the bed of the river
and leaving the notorious vicksburs high and
dry inland-and at the same time shortening
the distance or 10 miles to New Orleans. A
Just fate to the aecursed City.
