GERS. These fellows were not bad look
iLg Set, and were we'll dressed, nor did
they look very hungry, although as they
passed Us on the road they stated that
they came over to help Us eat up our
"eight days rations," which showed con-
clusively that they must bsve been pretty
well posted in regard 10 our affairs. In
fact, sometime previous to our moving,
they would inquire over the picket lines,
When were we coming over with our
eight days rations 2"
A daring feat occurred while we were
posted here: An aid to one of our Gen
erals, with dispatches, dashed through tie
rebel timber down the road, and reached
our line amidst shower of bullets, one
of which broke his arm and several Others
hit his horse. Where he came from did
not learn Our boys held their position
until nigh dark, fighting the enemy when>
ever they appeared and keeping them In
check. In this affair Co. G had two
wounded, viz: Michael COstalo in the arm
and George T. Cottrell in the throat
Cottrell was hit before in the hip, but the
bullet, penetrating his rubber, did not
break the skin. He appeared to care very
| little about being hit, but blazed away
when occasion offered, apparently with
will. During the latter part OF the after
noon heavy firing was heard on our left,
and after dark, when we stopped in an
open field tor the night without covering,
we understood that we were cut of by
jackson from the main body, he coming
in on by-road. The 18th army corps,
sent forward to stop him, from what we
could lesrn, made good time for the rear
when the rebel force opened on them
The exact cause of their skedaddle | did
not learn, although many reports were
] extant. To them is attributed in q meas

Great Union Meet,ne in New York

Great Union Meeting in New York.
There was an immense Union meeting in
New York on Friday night. The Tribune
says of il: The magnificent uprising of the
people and the nobly loyal speeches Of the
most popular men Of the Democratic party
last evening, at the great mass meeting in
and about the Cooper Institute, will fall
with cutting weight upon armed Rebels Of
the South as well as upon. sympathi sing
Copperheads in the North. New York Mas
seen no meeting Of such intensity Of feeling
since the memorable day in Union Square.
Though earnest and telling speeches were
made by DR.. Hitchcock and David Dudley
Field, yet the mort effective blows were
struck by james I. Brady, Judge DAILY, and
John Van Buren-men whose great popu
laritySth the Democratic party entities
their opinions to be taken as those Of very
large mass Of their fellow Democrats. Mr..
Brady declared he was ready to be called
Yankee If the Rebels insisted upon it, and,
after quoting remark of Gen. Shields that
wherever the Yankee located blacksmith
shop, tavern, or q school.houss he was
never known to recede from it, he went on
to advise his Southern brethren that il these
Yankees, who had theory about the war,
once got down into the Southern territory
and put arms into the hands of negroes and
put up their long feet on the tables of the
estates Of which they took possession, he
did not want to be the lawyer employed in
an action Of cjectment. John Van Buren,
expressed his hearty support of the Presi.
dent, aud approved of the acts giving him
full control of the purse and the sword.
There should be no outcry against extra
ordinary powers" except from those who
wanted to see the Rebellion prosper He
did not question the constitntionality of the
Proclamation, he questioned merely its util
ity. Till the SO called Confederate Govern
iment was destroyed he held all propositions
for peace TO be entiiely preposteruus and
absurd He would sustain this war to the
bitter end, and he thought that by united
action that might be reached in ninety |

tions adopted by the convention are tainted
with treason, and the speeches before the

malignant partisanship which extinguishes
the generous and ennobing spirit of patri

OF the Connecticut Democracy denounced
the war as "a crusade against a portion of

Crossing the Potomac.
MARYINsBURG. Va

MARTINsBuRG, Va. July Is, 1868.
In my letter Of yesterday I predicted that in less
than twenty-four hours, the Army of Northern Vir-
gjnia would have recressed the Potomac. It is nv
duty to chronicle the predicted as an accomplished
fact.
After waiting some four or five days in line of bat.
tie, near Hagerstown, Gen Lee found out what I
suppose his sagacity had before led him to fear. viz.
that the enemy had no idea of attacking him, but
had thrown itself on the defensive, and was busilv
fortltying in his front. In these circumstances. and
in view of the fact that forage and -four were not to
be had for love or Confederate money. nor could he
impressed, our forces began to fall back.
1t was raining q.ite hard on Monday morning.
about ten O'Clock, when the order came to the Rrio-
ade Quartermaster, with whom / was STAYING. to mack
up and move across the river. The teams were soon
in readiness and started towards the river. Arriv-
ing there, [ found all the ferries busily engaged in
carrying the wagons over, and | also saw large mum
bers fording, the water taking the horses up nearly
to their backs.
The pontoon bridge which had been constructed At
Williamsport was foated down to Falling Waters
four miles below Williamsport; and made fast thers
on Monday morning.
On Monday night, about dark, the work Of recross-
ing the Army back to Virginia begun. Some re-
turned by means of the pontoon bridge, but the
boys-that is, the infantry, had to take it rebel fash.
ion, and come over by wading, the water taking ma,
ny of them up to their arm pits. The rear Guard.
or rather the line of skirmishers, left the centre and
immediate front about two o'clock on the night 81

back slowly. In addition to the water which our
! boys had to pass through in getting over, they were

DEATH OF LIEUT.. Iowa RoYsrER. Among
The number of distinguished young men from
North Carolina who fell at the battle of Get
tysburg, we regret to find the name Of Lieut..
Register of this city. He was shot down
by q cannon ball far ahead of his men,
waving his sword, and cheering them on in
the desperate charge upon the heights in the
rear of that town, on the third day of the
fight. An order had been given to fall back
| but the brave young Lieutenant heard it not,
till unsupported, he rushed into the jaws Of
/ death.
