Details of the Fight near Long
Bridge.

New YORK, June 18-The Herald cores
pondent with the 9th corps, gives the fol-
lowing account of the fight near Long
Bridge: In crossing the Chickahominy
near Long Bridge, Crawford's division had
the advance. After crossing he at once
pushed forward to the nights on the other
side, and there remained till daylight, when
the other divisions of the 9Th corps took
positions near by. Here the corps remain
ed all day, but not without an independent
and most brilliant fight by Crawford's di-
vision. The cavalry was still OH his ad-
vance. A portion was sent In the direction
OF Turner's Ford across the Chickahominy,
and some toward White Oak Swamp cross
ing. At the latter crossing the cavalry
come upon the 1st and I'd South Carolina
regiments, Hampton brigade, and being
inferior in numbers sent back for infantry
supports. Crawford sent Gen. Bates brig
ade, with instructions to aid the cavalry.
get in position and intrench. Very shortly
after Styles brigade went to the assistance
of the first brigade, followed by Col. Carle's
brigade. In some redoubts thrown up by
Mcclellan, the enemy had placed three
cannon, from which they kept up a vigor-
Gus shelling of our troops. Three objects
were to be. gained: Holding the Long
Bridge road, upon which were all our
trains; silencing the guns of the redoubts,
and keeping possession of White Oak
Swamp Bridge. fHtt aaf a.
The Barnes battery, the lst New York,
was located so as to command the bridge
and prevent the enemy from crossing over
from that direction. Meantime other bat
teries directed their fire on these reloubts,
aud the cannonading was heavy and furious
for while. Our cavalry got out of am
munition at this time were heavily pressed
and compelled to fall back, which they did
In considerable confusion, working through
the infantry lines. The infantry, notwith-
standing the cavalry panic, stood their
ground and punished the pursuing cavalry
severely, as they came within musketry
range. The enemy's cavalry, numbering
three thousand, fell back and did not show
themselves again. From this time the fight
was between Crawford's division and the
encmy's infantry. 1t was half-past s p. M. :
when the enemy's infantry arrived. Brisk
skirmishing ensued, and the enemy made
an attack but was so decidedly repulsed
they did not venture to repeat it. Ia n

STREET RAILRoAD.-The street railroad
cars were running yesterday, for the first
time ON Sunday, and were more extensive
iy patronized than upon any two week days.
Inasmuch as operating on Sunday is at
once profitable to the company and con-
venience to the people, it is wonder that
the system was not begun before. There
can be no better moral objection to riding
in the street cars on Sunday, than in riding
to church in a carriage, and the latter mode
Is certainly more compatible with the be-
coming quiet of the Sabbath day.
