10 The Editor The Wig:
have just seen despatch from General Mcclellan to
Lincons Secretary Of War; stating that at The fight AZ
Williamsburg, General Hancock had taken two redoubts
and repulsed my (EAry's) brigade BY "a rsa! charge
with the bayonet"
wish to state through your paper that this assertion
Of Lincolns ComnAnderr-ohief Is utterly without foun
dAtiOn WheR my brigade, rather two regiments Of
il, attacked Wheelers battery Of sir pieces and some
other pieces from another battery which supported
by Hancocks Brigade one or two redoubts unoccup.ed
by our troops, had been taken possession Of BY Han
cocks brigade, and his artillery supported by infantry
had been advanced from Of the redoubts to posi-
ton near some farm houses. Ny brigade, which rad
been ordered up from the rear, advanced through a
thick wood to the attack Of this position and the 24h
Virginia Regiment, singe-handed, sssaied AID drove
back the battery and the infantry to the Of the
doubt and the woods near by, and fanc, The oh n.
O. Regiment came down from the extreme right the
support Of the 2ih and calamity attacked the battery
in their new position and had these regiments been
sustained they would have captured the battery and
driven Hancock's brigade from the ,ld. As /; was.
only retired from the field, under orders from Ne
General Hill, having been previously disabled and Cd
PEELED TO retire. In falling back, about l40 men IN
these two regiments got by ms;aks too far to the LET
in re.psssng through the woods and were taken pEj
era by a regiment Of the enemy stationed there.
cocks brigade did not charge bayonets, or MAX
pretense of doing So I, did not even attempt to -
sue my two regiments they fell back, and the prise
ers taken were taken by the mistake above mento
The 24,h Virginia ,giment carried from the heH soJ
rs or 80 prisoners taken by it.

may, therefore, expect soon some newly coined false

of the Army of the Potomac, and General D. Fl
Hills division, debouched from the woods on the
South side of the Chickahosniny, and crossed thai
river at Mechanicsville The position of our army
on Friday night may be described as forming,
with the Chickahomny an acute angle; our left
still in advance under General Jackson, lying over
towards the Pamunkey; General Hill occupying
Mechanicsville and the centre, and General Long
street with General D. ii. Hill, composing our
right, lying Immediately along the Chickahominy
Friday morning the general advance en- cche1ou
again began, General Jackson in advance and far
to the left, gradually converging to the Chicka-
hominy again: G General A. p IIii in the centre.

Longstreet and Gen. d. Fl. Hill, coming down
the Chckahominy to New Bridge. Arrived at
Hogan's House, near New Bridge, Gen. Lee await
ed tie contamination of his magnificent strategy
courier after courier arrived informing him Of
the approach of each division. AS soon as Jack
sons arrival at Coal Harbor was announced Gen
Lee and Gen. Longstreet accompanied by their
respective stats, rode by Gaines's Mill and halted
at New Coal Harbor-here they joined Gen. A.
=. Hill. Soon the welcome sound of Jackson's
guns announced his arrival and that the battle had
began.
The enemy now occupied singular position;
portion Of his army the southside of the
Chickahominy fronted Richmond, and was con-
the north side, had turned their backs Rich
mond, and frontcd destruction in the persons of
Lee, Longstreet, Jackson and the Hills.
These last were therefore advancing on Rich
mond with their backs to the city; such was the
position into which General Lee had forced Nc
Clellan The position which the latter here
occupied, however, was one of great strength.
Jackson having begun the contest, it was taken
up by General A. p. Hill in the centre and by D.
H. Hill on the left; Longstreet in reserve, sup
ported Immediately the centre under General A.
p. Hill. From the beginning of the conflict
Jackson pressed up and d. Fl. Hill down the
Chickahominy Our wings were thus approaching
each other, while centre driving the enc

eight the battle ragged with display of the utmost
daring and intrepidity on the part of the Confed
crate army. The enemys lines were finally bro
ken and his strong positions all carried, and they
covered the retreat of NcClellans broken and
routed columns to the south side of the Chick |
ahominy. This retreat to the Richmond side of
the river was continued through Friday night, and
the morning of Saturday. Closely watched and |
pressed by our army, he held his fortified camp
on the south side of the Chickahominy during Sat
urday, but evacuated it during the night, and re-
sumed his retreat, taking direction towards James
River

the great victory OF Friday, tenders description

country embraced. We shall attempt to describe
them as clearly We can On Thursday at three
o clock Major General Jackson took up his line of
march from Ashland, and proceeding down the
country between the Chickahominy aud Pamunkey
rivers, he uncovered the front of Brio. Cen

North bank of the Chickahoniny river. at the
point where it is crossed by the Brook Turnpike.
