The Great Battle Before Richmond.
se-z ss---'s-s's - .--,-.
The seven days battle fought near Rich
mond, and which ended July I'd, eclipses
everything else ever heard Of in the histo-
ry of modern warfare. Throughout those
long days it was continual seeihing, surg
ing. rushing tide of opposing human pas
sions. beating and battling each other,-as
those two armies swayed through swamps
and over hill tops,-wish determination
which death only could oppose. At one
hour, as the command rang oat, Up and
at them" rush forward on one point
would be made, and the next hour would
see the attacking party retiring in disnay.
And thus was acres Of ground fought over
and contested for the distance of seven.
teen miles out from Richmond. Cores
ponden,s upon the 6eld acknowledge their
inability to describe the fury ofthe conflict.
And the dispatches and accounts are SO
numerous, lengthy and withal 40 contradic-
tory that we present but a condensed ac-
count of what seems 10 us the principal
facts. The Federal force is given at 95,.
600; the rebel ls5, 600. Under such 10.
feriority Of numbers, Mcclellan was OBJ
liged to retreat, which he did, the while for
seventeen miles, fighting the enemy with
telling effect. Our loss was from $4,000
to 10000, the rebels 10000, and latest
accounts (see dispatch below) place it as
high as $4,000. We lost two Generals,
killed-McCall and Reynolds; the rebel
general Jackson is now reported not killed ;
but Gen. Barnwell Rhett, of So. Carolina,
is still reported dead. Some 1900 pris-
oners were taken by US. and We sustained
a slight loss in artillery. The place of
McClellan's retreat was advanced from
FIVE miles nearer Richmond shortly after
the battle. His men were in good spirits
and he was receiving reinforcements.
-Atthe request of the Governors of a
large number of the loyal States, 800, 600
men have been called fo. by the President.

The Mark-Lane Express Of June 2d has Just
come to hand. In reviewing the week ending
at date, that journal remarks:
The past week, though not decidedly cold.
has brought but little sun, and some quantity
of rain. Nothing has occurred TO materially
change cur cereal prospects, ard though we are
not advancing so rapidly as anticipated, this, es
before observed, may be better for the blooming
time. The farther we get into summer the less
Hsoility is there to frost. There is however, a
want Of settled character in the weather, which
has beer the case all through the spring; and it
seems to suggest the probability of an unequal
harvest time Should it so turn out, this may
be favorable to prices, by preventing a-sUdden
influx of the new corn. Foreign imports, press
ing on Liverpool and London, have again influ-
enced prices DOWN. ards-say Is. to Is. - or.
for wheat. Without some disastrous change IN
our prospects, or the cessation of those supplies,
we do not seem likely to recover veTy soon from
the present depressions. Accounts from the
continent continue to be favorable as respects
the growing crops. In Italy, Spain, and the
south of France, rapid progress is making; and,
should these countries be as early and abundant
in their harvest as expected, they may follow up
their supplies of old corn to this country, if ne
cessity requires but in Algeria the sirocc0 has
diminished prospects. France, Belgium, HOl-
land, and the Baltic ell note a lower range Of
prices. odessa keeps gradually yielding and
anticit ations thence are expressed that Ta esi IN
consequences of continual supplies from the in
terror, will edjust themselves to the aspect OF
western markets-more especially Britain.
Such anticipations seem justified by the present
position of the Italian markets, which, instead
Of needing shipments, as through the last and
ordinary seasons, may want some vent for their
extra produce. Still many slip may happen
before the corn is gathered and tbreshed, and q
reaction is not yet impossible. With reduced
rates at New York there has been better con
sumptive demand, more confidence, and good
exnort trade.
