The parallel between the battle Of Pitts
burgh Landing and that Of Fair Oaks, will
be still more striking if it proves true,a as now
stated, that the rebel Gen. Johnston, com
mander in chief of the rebel army Of the East,
fell mortally wounded in the latter battle.
rs to the numbers engaged and the loss Of
the two armies, the battle before Richmond
bids fair to rival the terrible battle Of the
Southwest. Our loss is now stated at 1900
killed and $500 wounded, while the enemy's
loss will approach 10000. Twelve hundred
rebels had beer buried up to eight O'Clock
Monday, by cur forces. One rebel regiment,
the Sth Alabama. was taken by US entire,
and ono New York regiment, the Tooth, has
not been heard Of since the battle. 1t is
stated that our troops on Saturday and Sun
day engaged six divisions instead Of four,
making a rebel force Of seventy-fve thousand.

WHITE SLAVES IN VIRGINn.-At York
town, at the present time, exists an lllustra-
ton Of the sad effect OF slavery IN case,
similar ones 20 which are not uncommon IN
the border slave States. There is living at
that place a Mss Griffin, wealthy young
LADY, IN her 18th year, who has straight
brown hair, clear blue eyes, fair skin, and
as fine Caucasian features as any woman
that ever was born beneath a Northern sky.
And vet this young woman was the daugh-
ter of slave, anu but for the will OF her
father, Robert Anderson, which freed her
from bondage and gave her a fortune, she
would stIn be Il slave and liable to be sold
and bought like any other bOndwOman OF
the South, though with her spirit ald her
education IL IS certain she would not submit
to is.
What is still more singular about the mat
ter is. tn & under the will, and by the laws
Of Virginia, this young woman : the abso-
lute owner Of her mother and two younger
sisters. One Of the little sisters has long
faxen 1inslcts and light blue eyes. but the
other sister and the mother show more or
less the marks Of negro blood. The mother,
in her day. has been q woman OF much beau-
ty, and still retains marked traces of it.
Robert Andersen, the father, was former
ly a wealthy resident Of Williamsburg, Va.
and his vile was even richer than he, but
owing to some difficulty he removed to York
town, with his iav0ute slave, Miss Grifhn's
mother, and died there three years since.
He was an old lne Wing descended from one
Of the Oldest Virginia families, and in 1913
was resclute and influential supporter OF
Harrison Gray Otis for the Office Of PresI-
dent Of the United States. Miss Griffin re-
ceived an excellent education, and was for
several terms at Mrs. L. p. Smiths school
in Medlord Mass, many the young ladies OF
which will doubtless remember her as Gather
inc Haidee Griffin, she taking her mothers
name.
Her property consists OF five different
squares in Williamsburg, several brick houses
in Yorktown, several thousand acres of land
in the same vicinity, and a large estate IN
New Jersey. The wife and other relatives
of Mr. Anderson arc trying to break his will
which would reduce this beautiful young
white girl and her mother and sisters to the
condition Of Mrs. Anderson's slaves, and
take away her property. The estate in New
Jersey is thought to be safe enough, how
ever, and in the worst event, Miss Anderson
can fall back on that, and receive from many
friends a warm welcome to the position IN
society which her education, wealth and
pleasant disposition entitle her tO.-BostOH

y correspondent Of the New York World
says Of the engagement Of May 2Sth at Han
over Court House
Tho results in every respect, show that II
ranks in extent the second Of the engagements Of
the army Of the Potomac. Looking at 1t in the
light of success, and it ranks first. greater
number Of prisoners was taken than at Williams
burg the first piece Of artillery ever captured in
the field by this army was taken; the enemy were
severely beaten in both engagements; they re-
tired from the field in great confusion, leaving
their dead, many Of their wounded, with arms,
munitions, forage and provisions in our hands;
the communication by both the Virginia Central
and fredericksburg railroads was destroyed. The
results in evory respect, were disastrous to the
rebels. Our loss, killed, wounded and missing
$50; rebel loss at least 1900, 100 OF whom are
prisoners. Our men buried l5s Of their dead IN
trenches and the woods were still full OF them
Furthermore the battle was not at Hanover
Court House. The first engagement was nearly
three miles south of it, at a country seat known
as "Iuntinsdon or "Striblins Springs. The
second engagement, which was by far the sharpest
and most hotly contested, was at "Peake's sta
ton, mile still farther south, on the virginia
Central Railroad. Hanover Court House was oc-
eupied without resistance. 1t Is an ancient and
pleasant place"
