| The whole Of General Gregg's division
was ordered from Bolton Station Saturday
toward Cuplepper, and arrived there at 4
o'clock p. NJ. Thence the I'd brigade Of the
second division was ordered to Fox Noun
tain to support Fitzpatrick, but finding that
Fitzpatrick did not need reinforcements, the
brigade left him Sunday morning and re.
joined the division at Culpeppsr. On Sum-
day night, Gen. Gregg moved to Sulphur
Springs, arriving at about 9P. NJ. Monday
morning two regiments, the 4th and 18th
Pennsylvania, were sent forward to Jeter-
son, about five miles from Sulphur Springs,
and the lst Maine were sent out toward
Little Washington to reconnoiter. The
last named regiment encountered larger
force of the enemy just beyond Amesville,
and were surrounded, but calamity cut
their way out and crossed the river at Wa
terloo Ford, about l2 miles above Sulphur
Springs. About 10 o'clock Monday morn
ing the enemy advanced on the 4th and
18th Pennsylvania, which were at Jefferson
with cavalry, showing heavy infantry sup
ports in the rear; when our cavalry, seeing
they were being overpowered, fell back
slowly contesting the ground, to large
forest this side OF Jefferson, where General
Gregg, who led these regiments in person,
dismounted portion of his men and sent
them out as skirmishers, their horses hav
ing been sent back to Sulphur SPRING.
After stubbornly contesting the ground for
over two hours they were ordered to fall
back slowly, and as they were doing so Q !,
heavy infantry force of the enemy was dis
covered on each flank, and at the same time
three regiments of cavalry, having made
detour, attacked them In the rear, At this /,
time the 10th New York was sent to the :
support of Gen. Gregg, and Reeds Battery
NJ I'd U. S. Artillery opened on the rebel
cavalry but owing to the short range oil
the guns, which were brass Napoleons. no
serious damage was inflicted on the enemy
by them. r.... L.l.
The 4th and 18th were LOW pressed Sc
verely in front, aud our center was b'oken,
and at the same time they were attacked
on each flank and in the rear. Our men
CIT their way through and escaped across
the river with heavy loss.
The 10th Pennsylvania was now dis
and thrown out along tho river
banks as skirmishers, while the Sth was al
so dismounted and ordered to support the
battery, which had only four short-range
guns, and the enemy opened upon us with
some twenty pieces Of artillery, but our
troops CALAMITY held their ground for ssve'
raj hours, repulsing the charge Of the enc
my, and gradually fell back on the Fsyette-
vile road, the enemy following, but keep
ing at a respectful distance.

The way in which the funds and euer.

employed is indicated by the following ad-

1t is sometimes interesting to note how
closely even contemporary history repeats
itself. The Washington Chronicle says.
"The friends Of Curtin and the Union
who have left this city and vicinity,
during the past week or two. for the Pur'
pose Of voting the Union ticket, number
over nine thousand, exclusive Of soldiers
And an exchange mentions that

To hs- -Press-The several Milita,y Commit
tees:
Referring to my circular letter Of the
twenty seventh ult., have now to inform
you, that the time fixed for the draft, is the
twenty sixth instant; hence We have but
few days left to furnish our quota by vol
untary enlistment, and thereby escape the
draft
1t is dfficnlt now to fix with absolute
certainty, the number due from the State
it caunot, however, exceed five thousand
Surely the proper effort on your part, the
proportion of this number due from your
county, can be raised before the twenty
sixth.
Allow me then to urge that you make
the effort.

LEECHES,

It's strange indeed, in times like these,l r
How many show their fselingl
And love of country in kind
OF "gentle o'sr ms stealing
One man goes prating, long and loud,
"A About our ''bleeding nation!''j
But while the soldiers cape aroundl
He robs them Of a ration
Anther's oldest brother went
To school with Mrs. Linooln's,
To show his love Of country, he
Would furnish it with the cane
He'd like to cup old Uncle sam,E
And try that style of bleeding;
And all the while he talks about
This horrible seeding.
ssSsAnother wants a suffers berth,
To fight he isn't able;
And so he'd like to do his share
By furnishing the table.
He 'Goves the dear old country's flag
And Yankee Doodle Dandy
And 80 he shows his love for them
By selling poisoned brandy.
GO where you choose; look where you will,
You'll find these armed leeches;
In church, in Congress, on the stump,
Amazing Union speeches.
Round bar-room fires these chilly nights
They drink their whisksy toddy;9
While shivsr, shiver in the camps
The men they clothed in shoddy.
