BATTLE OF WILLIAMSBURG.
There seems to have been great misappre-
bensiou and confusion in relation to the mans
acement of the troops at Williamsburg. When
the pursuit first commenced on Sunday, Gen.
Heintzlemam was instructed by Gen. McClel-
Ian to take charge Of operations in FRONT. On
the morning. of Monday orders were sent to
Gen. Sumner to take the command; Gen. Mc
Czellan remaining behind to superntend the send

BATTLE OF SEVEN PINES
On the Slss of May and the LIST of June the
battles of Seven Pines and Fair Oaks were
fought. As there has been so much controversy
in regard to the conduct of some of the troops
engaged in that battle, your Committee will re-
fer more particularly to the testimony of Gen.
Casey. who commanded the advance division,
unon which the attack was first made. Gen.
Casey states that, when the campaign of the
Peninsula commenced, his division consisted
principally of raw and inexperienced troops
They had suffered greatly from the labora and
exposures incident upon the siege Of Yorktown
and the advance Of the troops up the Peninsula.
Some of them had been for weeks without
shelter. being compelled to leave their camp
eouipace behind when ordered on the pursuit
of the enemy after the evacuation of Yorktown.
That division took the lead across the Chicks-
homipy taking up a high position at Seven
Pines. where it established itself by throwing
intrenchments and cutting abatis.
A few DAYS previous to the BATTLE of Seven
Pines. contrary to the advice and opinion of Gen
Keyes and Gen. Casey, the division was ordered
three quarters OF mile to the front, within 81,
miles Of Richmond, his pickets extending within
five miles. They had no support on their RICH
or their left the remainder of the corps to which
they belonged (Keyes's) being in their rear
They at once commenced digging rife-pits ant
cutting abatis, the pickets at night being attack
ed by the enemy, who where repulsed Abou

with this aid and his general officer of the day
went to Gen. Reyes and reported the circum
stance to him. Gen. Reyes testifes that for som
days days before the attack ne sent to Genera
Mcclellan reports of his condition, the threaten

it were better to 60 to the James river and
await reinforcements. Gen. Mcclellan replied
chat he was of that opinion himself, and that was
determined upon. That night, at 1920 o. m ,
Gen. Mcclellan teleoraphs to the Secretary OF
Ear that he lGen. McCellan) lie not responsible
for the result, but feels that the Government has
not sustained his army.
To this the President replies on the 2stb:
"If You have had drawn battle, or a repplse,
it is the price we pay for the enemy not being
in Washington. We protected Washington and
the enemy concentrated on you. Had we strip
Washington lie would have been upon US before
the troops sent could have got to you.
"Save your army at all events. Will send re-
Inducements as fast as We cap. OF course they
cannot reach you to-day, tomorrow, or next
day."
The 2sth of Jnne passed without any serious
fighting Col, B S. Alexander testifes that on

Head letter, dated on the night of the 18th
states that Lieut. Rushley and nine men,
three of the latter of the Ninth Maine
Regiment, were captured by squad OF
rebels, who crossed the river and found
our pickets asleep, and without musket

hogsheads. Two more rams will be com
pleted in few weeks.
The channel in Mobile Bay is block
aided by sunken vessels, but no torpedoes
have been sunk. Two or three forts are
iron-clad. A rumor was brought by the

]From the Chicago Evening Post.
Slavery i'm Illinois.

The laws of Illinois are very strict, but
not more SO than the people approve-as
was demonstrated in the election last sum-
mer-against the Immigration of free me-
groes to this State. A Justice of the
Peace in Carthage, Hancock County lately
tried six negro men on a charge of high
misdcmeanor, in having remained in the
State and county for ten days and more,
with the evident intention of taking up a
permanent residence. The jury fined
them fifty dollars each and costs of suit,
which not being paid, the Justice posted
an advertisement in several public places,
giving notice that on certain day he
would sell each Of the negro men at pub
lie auction to the person paying the fine
and costs against each respectively, for
the shortest time of service ofsaid negroes.
The following is the concluding part OF
the notice:
"The purchaser or purchasers will be
entitled to the control and services OF the
negroes and mulatto purchased, for the
period named in the sale, and no longer.
and will be requiredto furnish saidnegroes
and.mulatto with comfortabl food, cloth
ing and lodging during said servitude.
The fees for selling will be added on
completion of the sale. G. M. CHILD,
Justice Of the Peace"
The Abolition papers are making great
howl about this affair; but it is neyerthc-
less true, that in June last, the people
indorsed the law in pursuance to which
these proceedings arc instituted, by ma
jority ofover one hundred thousand. MIR.
Lincoln who has practised some law in
Illinois, is well aware of the existence Of
this statute, and can not be ignorant that
the people are disposed to enforce it. Hav-
ing omitted Illinois from the operation Of
his proclamation of freedoni." he ought
| to consider that it is not the best place to
send s.citizens of African descent, who arc
in pursuit of the blessings that document
is supposed to confer. t9 ae

Departure of a Military
FOrce to Noble County. O.-On

Sunday morning last we stated that an
armed resistance was made to the arrest of
T. d. Brown, of Hopkinsville, Noble
County, A this State, and a deserter named
McFarrcn, and that the Deputy United
States Marshal and the military squad
failing in making any arrests, were com
pel.ed to return to this city. On yester-
day morning, two companies of the 10th
Ohio Regiment, under commands of Cap
tsins Hake and Sturgeon, and numbering
two hundred men, and United States Mar
shal Sands and Commissioner Halliday,
left this city for Noble County, o..appre-
hend Brown for encouraging McFarren to
d;sert, and McFarren' for deserting, and
all the ringleaders in the late resistance
The party will reach Hopkinsville o-mor-
row morning, and, we have no doubt, will
be entirely successful in their mission.
The soldiers took with them six days
rations and thirty rounds of ammunition
each. They expect to return by Sunday
evening.-Cfn. Emo. ~

Heroic Conduct OF Tive MOn-

: Dear Spira Let me tell you an Incl

should have been made public long ago.

precipitation. and while the men were fall
ing faster than they could be counted. a
squad Of about dozen rebels with the
emblem of their treason waving over them,
taking advantage of rayine. approached
within a few yards Of a number Of our
men who were firing and falling back.
Two gallant fellows, Thomas Baton and
Lafayette Henthorn, determined TO at
tempt to capture the Rebel banner. They
were but two against dozen. They ran
forward q few steps aud fred, killing the
color bearer, and then made q rush for the
prize. The rebels turned and fed, but al

part of tho field, struck g Tom in the
leg and he fell sHenthorn attempted to
take him Of the field, but YTTom''' tainted
from loss of blood, and Henthorn in q

How it is Done.

We copy the following fromthe Maho-
ming Sentinel, in relation to certain reso-
lutions Of the 1O5th Ohio. The letter is
from soldier Of the regiment, and is da-
ted Murfreesboro, Tenn, Feb, 26. 1868.
On the 18th, Colonel Hall made his
before the regiment at dress
parade. He informed us that Mr.. Carroll
Iof Youngstown was here to visit the Ohio
troops, and he the coloneo should like
to put the regiment through the manual
of arms in his presence, but owing to the
|inclemency of the evening, he thought it
mot werth while wetting the arms. Mr..
Carroll, he said, came here for the pur-
pose of learning the feelings of the Ohio
soldiers. He said the demagogues and
southern sympathizers Of the North had
created so much dissatisfaction among the
people and thu army: as much as to say
they would lay down their arms! But no
had no doubt in the faith and integrity Of
the 105th. regiment in maintaining the
administration, even until the last rebel
was killed or the final victory won. He
then presented string of resolutions, made
out by himself, and whichshe hoped would
be adopted by the regiment, SO that the
Adjutant could make a record of them,
and have them turned over to Mr.. Carroll
for publication He then put the resolu-
tions TO vote and they we're carried, b.
some yeas, and no nays-thc majority oil
the regiment not rotiity them up or doca!
These resolutions were got pin such a
! shape as to give no room for deiberation

not ceased.
