The Pittsburg correspondent Of THE Cincinnati
Gazette writes, on the Eth:
Gen. Pope's brilliant little affair here on the 9th,
would have ranked in the earlier stages of the war,
as firsr-cass battle. The Rebels, provoked by the
daring reconnaissance Of the day before, night up
To their fortified ions ont III very heavy force,
thirty 10 thlry-tye thousand-Under bragg, PHoe,
Van Dorm. and Ruggles, with the apparent purpose
of driving Pores advance back, or bringing on Il
general engagement with orr left wing. Pope was
lied up by strict orders from Haeck TO avoid gen.
eral enlargement, and the orders were repeated by
telegraph as soon the opening oil the engagement
was announced
Opposed TO the Rebels was simply our grand
guard composed of single brigade. They threw
forward five or six Of tHeir regiments, with aIti-
lerv TO engage our brigade, holding their immense
reserve in readiness TO attack our anticipated re-
endorsements. But 10 reGntorcements came, and
for five hours that single brigade kept up the herce
contest, and held its ground. At last the Rebels
pressed forward too heavily for them, and Gen.
pope. forbidden to re-enfoTce, was compelled TO
Withdraw the gallant guard from the unequal con-
test.
During the progress Of the fight, at the regular
hour the guard had been relieved, Piunmer $
brigade relieving Palmers. Both were composed
OF Illinois, Michigan and Missouri troops exclusively.
At tic close our loss WIS found 10 be ten killed and
about hundred wounded, many Of the latter very
siirhtiy. The Rebel loss was known TO be at least
/ as great.
The Rebels, puzzled by the stubborn fighting ard
sudden re,rea. of the single brigade and by the M
accountable non.appeaFance OF re-enforceBents,
made no pursuit and before ngftfal retired to their
iutrenohmenls. The next day We reoceuped the
old ground.

Gen. w. Il. Carey, Of Ohio, who II was asted
had been laboring for over IS years in rs Statss
and had spent 5000 in the Temperance csuss
followed Mr. Brownlow, and gave an able, an IN.
teresting and eloquent address on tho subject "a
Temperance, and was listened to with close sttep.
ton for two hours. The speaker contended ,Aas
the Scriptures did not sanction even moderate ~
Of intoxicating liquors. though the drisst loafsr n
any bar.rOom could quote Pauls advice to Timothy
to "take little wine for the stomachs sake" 81
our soldiers, $4,000 had been buried within the IN
IA month"; They had gone to their graves In u.
tempting to put down tbis wicked rebellion. Bot In
that period $4,000 of far different class had died
a drunkard's death. And what contrast they ps.
sented! lie had been all over the land of Dixis
and knew almost every leading Secessionist in Tie
South, and with hardly single exception they were
miserable drunkards The soul OF this rebellion The
right arm Of it, was whisky.
The Rev. Mr.. Brownlow followed with an appeal
to bis hearers to 90 to Christ as the only refuge and
pronounced the benediction.
Mr.. b. spoke in pretty strong and distinct aceers
but be was evidently quite feeble. The writer ot
this notice. who saw him in his editorial sanctum Of

Saturday midnight, May 4. A this time ne made
mn hs mind TO escape from tho Rebel ranks dead or
alive. After marching about half mile with the
regiment he fell out Of the ranks under triviaI
ercuse. and hasteDed into the woods about
mile Distant where he lay down in o tree top that
had blown down and quietly went tosleep. lie slept
until after sunrise when he was AWAKENED Dy Ihe
heavy mnsket and cannon firing in all directions,
which he learned was caused by the at,ack ON tne
r.treatiue Rebels by McClellan's men. In attempt,
mo 10 gain the Union lines, be lost bis road, ana
soou found himself in the Rebel camp, when tne
troons had evacuated the day before. While looking
ebont. and making up his mind which way to turn,
he saw two Union men unarmed, ana gave nlnisen
and musket into their custody. He was taken INTO
Gen. McClellan's headquarters, whence ne was GENT
home. Mr. Truesde thinks that Macgruder, johns ms
ton. jackson, and other generals, have about Ho,oV
men at this time in and about Richmond:
Some time ago, when it was rumored that virginia
was to be entirely evacuated, the troops OF thal
State became dissatisfied, and said they woula lay
down their arms, as they had nothing more 10 nen'
for Jsf. Davis. hearing OF this dissatisfaction,
made a speech to the troops on Capitol Square,
Richmond, from the came platform upon when ne
was jnaugurated. He said that they would hgnt
and hold Richmond, or die there If they were
thoroughly whipped they would burn the Guy, as
everything was in readiness, aud only neeacu a
match TO be applied. They were fighting for their
homes and fresides, and he for one was vii ing to
lose his life and all he had-he would never saerice
his honor. He melted the soldiers to fight on BY
telling them of outrages perpetrated by The Lincoln
ties and other vandals. Virginia, he said, must
never new be given up, and they would fight until the
last.
Mr.. Truesdell says that the Notifications ABOUT
Richmond extend from river TO river on either side,
and they appeared to him to be very strong. 1ne
