General Shields advance on Monday morn

aaid to have been maintained for four hours
10y about two thousand of our men against
the main body of Jackson's army.
The onemy's force became so overwhclm-

As 3oon as this was effected the enemy in

The fighting is said to have been very

A Richmond paper Of Friday has been
received, but it gives no details Of the late
battle. They claim, as usual, a brilliant
victory. 1t states that the Fcdcrals were
driven into the Chickahominy aud White
Oak Swamp, and that Gen Mcclellan has
sent flags Of truce asking permission to bury
his dCad-all of which is false.
1t gives the loss in one regiment at 40
killed and wounded, evidently showing that
they considered it their interest to disclose
the news of the defeat to the public by
degrees, thereby preventing panic
General Prim and staff, of Spain, arrived
today, and paid their respects to General
Mcclellan.
Three dCserters who arrived today from
Richmond state that there was great excite

SECOND DESPATCH.
WAsuISGToN, juno II.

a private letter states that Gen. Shields
had previously succeeded in destroying
large quantity of supplies belonging to the
Rebels, found at Milford and at Conrad's

including the carrying away of the bridges
over the south branch of the Shenandoah
river materially interfercd with the commits

the troops.
THIRD DESPATCH.
LURAT, Va, June 10, via WASHINGTON,
June ll.--Coloncl Carroll, commanding the
Fourth Brigade, consisting of the Eighty
fourth PENNSYLVANIA, Eleventh Pennsylvania,
Seventh Indiana and First Virginia Rcgi-
mcnts, numbering altogether about 1900
strong, reached Port Republic on Sunday.
A reconnaissance was made and the enemy
found to be in the town. After a skirmisl,
Colonel Carroll concluded to hold the bridge,
and, ordering that it should not be burned,
put his guns in a position to command it.
AT 6 O'Clock on Monday morning he was
opened on by some twenty heavy guns, which
had been placed il position by the enemy
during the night. Our forces tried to reach
the bridge repeatedly, in order TO odcstroy it,
but they were met by storms of bullets and
was obliged to retire.
a large cavalry force of the enemy then
crossed the bridge and attaced our troops,
while their infantry followed.
Our men opposed them at every stop,
often driving them back with heavy loss
but the numbers, after General Tyler's third
brigade arrived, were. so much inferior to
the encmy-thcira being at least five TO one
that it was impossible to hold our position
and VIC were compelled TO fall back, ouI
boys fighting every foot of the way.
After falling back some three or four miles
q body OF cavalry were sent to attack Us, but
were received in such a manner IS to com
pei them 70 retire, when the engagement
ended, having lasted about five hours.
Our loss in killed and wounded IS not

No HOPES FOR THEM.-The Revue De
Deux Mondes, Paris, in its political Nrtiele
Of June IA. says:
England and France, If they respect toe
principles which do honor to thefr policy
and their real interests, sbOu4d desire but
one thing-the speedy close Of The revolu-
tionary condition of the United States. 1t
is clear that The most just, the most natural
and The most eGcaciOus means Of putting
an end to the struggle Is to'4eave The North
its freedom Of action, aud rot to encourage
the South ia its resistance By allowing 1t to
believe that il can bring to it's defense the
great EaropeAn powers. The insurrection
and the separation Of the South have mo-
tive waich is repugnant to liberal Europe;
that motive is the maintenance OF slavery
as a permanent institution. In this the
Southern States have counted upon Euro
mean interest-the cotton inteFest--and the
failure of the raw material. In a political
noint of view, the secession was specula-
iion in cotton. Europe must prove to the
South that the speculation is bad one and
cannot succeed The English would have
bravely carried on costly war for them;
they would have done 80 for two or three
negroes, as the Times said in its energetic
language, if q question Of honor forced
them TO IL; but they will not do so even for
the cotton interest. Let them not fall into
a mistake az to the sentiments of France,
from the encouragement given to the cause
of the South by few French journals
whose conduct It is difficult TO explain.
They will not find France disposed to rec
ognize the Southern confederation.

RUssIA.-The Northern POST, a ST. Pc
tersburg paper. says that great dissatisfac-
tion aud impatience is felt by the nobility
at the emancipation Of the serfs, especially
on account of the unpuuctual payment of
the contributions by the peasants. Govern.
ment, having guaranteed the contributions,
will keep its word, but the transition re-
quires time. The nobility must accept the
new state of things and assist the Govern
ment. The solution lies in the final achieve,
ment of the emancipation. The extension
of the peoples participation in the admin
istration, depends on the nobility, who can
facilitate or obstruct the intentions of the
Government in this respect.

She was very delicate and beautiful girl,

the same feeling. When a very young man
/ was at Liverpool, and was taken to hear
the singiag at blind asylum. 1t was very
striking. They we're practising an anthem
with a new organ, lately erected, and the
whole effect, arising from the beauty OF the
music and the inirmity of the performers,
was most touching, and was moved to
tears. On leaving Liverpool, next morning,
found myself sitting on the top OF the
coach next to tall blind girl whose notes
had mainly produced the emotion | expe-

heard the music at her asylum the night
