AFFAIRS BEFORE RICHMOND.
GREAT BATTLE ON FRIDAY.
Important Strategetic Movement.
EVACUATION OF WHITE HOUSE.
THE ENEMY SEVERELY REPULSED.

WHITE House, Saturday, June %.
The events transpiring at this point, and
in the army before Richmond during the
past four days, have been OF such varied
character and thrilling interest that scarcely
know where to commence or end the record
in order to make it all comprehensive to
the general reader.
Before proceeding to the narrative of
events as they have occurred in the vicinity
of White House during the past few days,
will briefly state that the whole movements
of Gen. Mcclellan, so far as the changing of
his lines are concerned, and in reality the
making of his LETT wing his right wing, and
Withdrawing his right wing to rest near
Sayages Station, at the railroad bridge
across the Chickahominy, has been accom-
plished, throwing the way open for the
enemy to rush to his coveted feast at the
White House, where he found nothing but
an empty platter. Whether This movement
is good or bad, or what may be intended by
Gen. Mcclellan to bc accomplished by it
further than throwing his left on james
river and supporting II land attack on Fort
Dasling, it is impossible at present to say.
\ day or an hour may decide this point.
THE GREAT ALARM.
cH llNtttl llOilillsS lilC lIsl item bl new -
from the front, received by telegraph, was a
gratifying announcement that Stoncwall
Jackson and Ewcll, in attempting to turn
the right flank, were repulsed by General
Mccall with his Pennsylvania Reserves, and
driven back with great slaughter. This at
tempt of Jackson was made at 3 o'clock in
the morning, and had closed at six o'clock
with signal victory This repulse is said
to have been one of the most decisive and
destructive of the war, the enemy being put
TO complete rout, with very light loss &c
our forces. Although at night, and intend
ed for surprise, the gallant Pennsyvaniani
were found to be wide awake. There was
however, every indication of general bat
tie along the whole line, and Gen. Mcclellan
in order to be ready for any emergency
gave directions to Gen. Casey and Col. In
gals to make every preparation for the in
stant removal or destruction of all the sup
plies at White House, should the result o
the impending battle render such cours
necessary, his force being deemed too small
to render the successful defence of his posi-
ton certainty against such movement O
the enemy as might ensue.
The steamers and tugs were all in earl
requistion and were moving down the rive
with long trains of transports in tow. Tn
vessels nearest the landing were also store,
full OF commissary stores and munitions, am

THE BATTLE AT CHARLES.
Ton.
REPULsE OF THE UNION FORCES.
MarN Loss IN KMsd and Monnasd.
New EoRR, June 81.

New IoRR, June q.
The account of the fight copied from the
Charleston papers is correct The United
States troops, under General Bcnham, made
an attack, at o'clock on the morning of the
10th inst, and were rcpulscd, after four
hours hard fighting, with a loss of 66S
killed, wounded, and missing. The Michi-
gan Sth had but $50 men left at roll call.
The New York 10Th also suffered severely.
The Union troops were obliged TO retreat
under cover Of the gunboats.
Gen, Branncn, from Key West, was expect
ed daily at Port Royal.
The Ericsson landed the 9Th New Hamp-
shire, six companies of the 10th New York,
and four companies of the 1st Regular Artil-
lcry, at Port Royal.
1t was reported by descrters that the whole
rebel force at Sccessionvillc was but two
battalions, with six guns mounted, and seven
more ready for use.
The reconnaissance was made on the 10th.
General Stevens, with 1000 men, was to
make the attack at daybreak, while General
Wright and Colonel Williams, with 5000
moro, were to support him. Somehow the
movement was delayed an hour, and as our
troops marched up through plain field in
broad daylight, they were met by murder
Gus fire of grape and canister. Two regi-
ments only reached the front, and were much
cut up-nanely, the Sth Michigan and 10th
New York. The 2Sth Massachusetts broke
and scattered, and the 46th New York did
little better. The irst two regiments drove
the gunners from the guns, and some even
penetrated the works, but, other regiments
failing 10 support them. they had to retire
after holding the battery twenty minutes.
In the meantime Colonel Williams coming
10 their support, was separated by marsh
from the fort, and exposed to severe cross
fire from some rebel guns in the woods, His
troops consisting of the 3D. New Hampshire
and Sd Rhode Island Regiments, fought
nobly, and met with considerable loss.
For three quarters OF an hour not a gun
was fred from the fort, and the prompt pre-

During last night a large number of steam

Rebels struck at the White House, and which
cluded them completely. Probably not to
exceed 100000 worth of property was
destroyed to prevent it falling into the
cncmys hands, consisting of whisky, pork,
corn, locomotives, and u small number OF
arms.
The entire fleet will proceed up James

cans of preserves. AT the Same time come two large
boxes filed with linen, bandages butter, preserves,
dried fruit, &c, &c, for the physical comfort Of our
patients.
Please accept my hearty thanks for this evidence
of your sympathy. Over fifteen hundred patients
have been treated, in this establishment, during the
last three months, many Of whom from Penn
syyania. Some from our own county several from
your town Yet, amid the multitude of contributions
pouring in upon us from all parts Of New York, New
Jersey, and other States with bouneous supplies
from dear old Philadelphia, her Ladies' Aid SOcic-
ties and Sunday Schools, from Lancaster, free handed

frSt evidence Of pity for suffering sick and
wounded, the first sign of help from my county came
with the boxes from Sunbury.
Everything arrived safely except the butter. The
stone jar broken, and its delicious contents mixed
with dried huckebcrrics Still, none OF it was lost.
1t was not a little amusing 10 watch the wonder

D!ED.--In this place, on Wednesday
morning last, Hon. CHARLES W. HIGGINS,
President Judge of the Schuylkil county
District, aged about 10 years.
Judge Higgins had been in declining health
for several years past, suffering severely from
occasional attacks of inllammatory rheuma-
tism, which induced complication of dis
eases that finally terminated in his death
His last illness commenced about six weeks
ago, and finding no relief under the best
medical skill at Pottsvillc, he resolved to
return to his native place and former home,
the family of his sister. He arrived here
about ten days since, and has been gradually
sinking until death terminated his suffer
ings.
Judge Higgins was truly sclf-madc man.
Though laboring under physical disability,
caused by disease of the spine, he possessed
more than ordinary energy. When quite a
young man he entered upon the duties of
Clerk to the Prothonotary, then Z. y.
Bright, Esq. At the same time he was
studying law under the late Judge DonnGl.
In 1888 he was elected to the Legislature
from this county, and subsequently Clerk TO
the State Senate. About 1850 he commenced
the practice Of law in Pottsvillc, and not
long after was elected President Judge OF
that District. His mind was of a superior
cast As lawyer he was clear, mcthodical
and quick in perception. AS man and
boy he was always esteemed for his gene
rous impulses, manly bearing, and honora,
BILE conduct. We knew him well, and as a
friend and associate from early youth, We
cannot say less, and might, with truth, say
much more. His death will be deeply re
grcttcd not only by his near relatives, tc
whom he extended more than a father!
