The 18th Maine at ChancelIorville.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Honor to whom honor is due. The follow
ing particulars come to me through private
and entirely reliable sources.
In the night attack made upon the rebels
under Jackson, the 10th New York and the
18th Maine were drawn up in column by com
panies, and marched along road upon Gen.
Wdar's left flank. The New York troops
were in advance. They had not proceeded
far, when murderous volley was poured up
on the head of the column by the rebels whom
they had approached in the darkness. For
moment it staggered, and then pressed on.
Another yolley was too much for them. They
broke and fed TO the rear. In the darkness
and confusion the Maine troops were thrown
into disorder, and the backward movement
continued uuti it came to Co. A, commanded
by Capt c. p. Mattocks, of this city. This
company, animated by the spirit of its gallant
leader, stood fast, as also did Co. L. Capt Z.
NJ. Sawyer, the next in the column. Order
was soon restored and the regiment rallied
Co. A from being the 10Th in the column be-
came the first, which position it held during
that perilous night.
The subjoining extract from Gen. Wards Of
fetal report will show in what manner the men
whom Portland has sent to the field, and of
whose names she may justly be proud, bear
themselves in the presence of the enemy.
To It. Col Chas B Merrill of the 18th Me- and
1t. Col. kirkwood of the 63d Pa, and the officers
and men attached to their commands, temporarily
assigned 10 me, my grateful acknowledgements are
rendered for their valuable assistance and gallant
conduct the light of May I'd, and TO Capts Ellis
w. Sawyer and Chas. T. Matttocks of the 18th Maine
and the companies under their command my especial
thanks due.

JEAENETTE's WEDDING This operate
gem, which is to be given at the new City Hall
next Wednesday evening, is justly entitled to
distinction, as it belongs to class of musical
compositions as yet almost unknown to the
public. Hitherto the introduction of an opera
conveyed with it the idea of great troupe, a
superb wardrobe and a gorgeous mise en- scene,
with properties on a large SCALE Now, how
ever, thanks to the refined Imagination of
composer before unknown, the luxury of an
opera can be presented with all its require
ments by two good artists, and enjoyed to
the fullest extent by any audience, however
critical or fastidious.
The story of Jeannettes wedding is one of
daily life--a lovers quarrel. Jean, the bride
groom, on his wedding day, is seized with
sudden dread Of matrimony, and abruptly
breaks up the marriage ceremony. His youth
full and confiding betrothed annoyed at his folly
and dreading the sneers of her companions,
determines to cajole him to a fulfllment of the
marriage contract, which she ultimately sue
ceeds in doing, to his surprise and her own
satisfaction.

body from Camp Sprague, Staten Island, on
Wednesday. A fight ensued; one was killed
and others wounded. Twenty-eight of the
mutineers escaped, but were afterwards cap
tured and put in irons at Governors Island
The court of inquiry into the killing of Col.
Kimball by Gen. Corcoran, has been in session
at Suffolk since the 9th inst.
The Herald's Washington dispatch of 18th
says, it will be recollected that it was stated
that previous to the falling back of General
Hooker's army, he had a council of war OF the
corps commanders of his army, and that the
result Of that council was the retreat across
the Rappahannock. With this statement in
view, the public will be surprised to know that
four of the six Generals present urged upon
Gen. Hooker an immediate advance on the
rebel army. Only two were in favor of re-
crossing the river. 1t is believed that for
ward movement would have crushed the
rebels.
1t appears from the semi-ofiicial account of
Gen. Averill's expedition, that previous to the
battle of Chancelorville, jackson with $500
men was at Gordonsville.

Arrival of Sick and Disabled Soldiers fir ON
Hilton Head-Shameful Neglect Of Duty.

Arrival of Sick and Disabled Soldiers from
Hilton Head-Shameful Neglect Of Duty.
NEW YORK, May Is.
Steamer Cosmopolitan, which arrived We'd
nesday from Hilton Head, brought Earge
number of discharged soldiers from that de-
partment nearly all of whom are sick, dis
abled or wounded. Most OF them were taken
to David's Island, where, upon examination of
their papers, it was found that they were dis
charged from the U. S. service, but unfor-
tunately their other papers were found to be
imperfect, 1. e., not one of them was signed by
the Surgeon at Hilton Head, consequently,
although these papers are all filled out, need
ing nothing but this signature, these poor fell
lows cannot obtain their pay from the pay
master, neither can they obtain transportation
to their homes or rations until the documents
are returned to Hilton Head, there rectilied
and again returned here. One hundred and
seventy of these men were brought to the
New England Rooms, 19i Broadway, to-day,
where they were very promptly received and
cared tor. Were il not for the existence of
this excellent institution they would have
been thrown upon such charity as could have
been obtained in the streets. The Superin-
tendent of the room, Col. Howe, Immediately
took steps to send them TO their homes, and
with the assistance of the Agency of the War
Protective Claim Association, the total amount
of each soldiers account will be collected and
RENTED to them, giving each certified check
therefor. Some 200 still remain at David's
Island, who will be brought to the New Eng
land Rooms on Saturday or Monday, and for
them the same kind offices will be performed.
The men are from every loyal State and en-
brace all branches of the service. Many of
them are heads of families, and the depriva-
ton of their pay for month or more will be
felt with great severity. The person guilty of
such derelictions of duty has committed an
act of gross injustice to these sick and dis
