RAW TROOPS FIGHT LIKE VET
ERANS.

New YORK, Jun 3-The Herald's 5th
corps correspondent says of the battle on
Monday: r....s IEJ.g4{
At 6P. M. the enemy assaulted our line.
1t was violent and sudden attack. They
advanced in two lines Of battle and heavy
skirmish line and Simultaneous with their
opening heavy fire ot musketry, their
cannon poured solid shot and shell upon our
army from the mouths of score or more of
cannon. Firm and mistaken stood our men.
The rebels shot too high and our men coolly
waited to return their fire. 1t was most
murderous volley, the assaulting column
were staggered and fell back. Our artillery
which had been in position, opened respon-
sive to the enemy's cannon. Assault after
assault was made by the desperate foe, but
each time our troops hurled him back
Upon Gen. Crawford's division the assaults
were repeated and the fierce enemy
tried to turn his left, but each time were
handsomely repulsed and more than special
glory was won by the men meeting and re.
pelling these assaults.
The Pennsylvania reserves behaved mag
ni6cently. In the division and holding the
extreme left was Gen. Lockwood and his
troops, most of them tor the first time un-
der Are. They behaved like veterans.
Col. lKitching's brigade stood its ground
with the resoluteness of veterans. This
brigade alone captured 80 prisoners.
The contest closed with our having driv-
en- the enemy as stated above, ard occupy
ing the battle ground. ~
Our losses are 200 killed, wounded and
missing. Among the killed was Major
Ebert, commanding the Gath Michigan
regiment. The enemy's losses are much
heavier, probably $500.
We took 200 prisoners, among them ten
commissioned officers.
Among the rebel dead there is said to
have been found General and Colonels.
Prisoners are all say that the whole of
Ewell's corps was engaged against u.s.
The corps they say however is commanded
bylEarly, and that Gen. Ewell is in command
of the army, Lee being sick in Richmond.
The rumor has prevailed that Lee was
wounded in the leg at Spottsy lvanla, @. H.,
but is not authenticated. There can be no
doubt however of the fact that he does not
command the rebel army at present.

PROGRESSED TERRITORY FOR NEGROES
The Washington correspondent Of the S. r.
Alta says that Senator Lane, Of Kansas, has
introduced bill in Congress to designate a
portion of the Territory of the United States
for the settlement of the negro population.
The proposition is accompanied by report
setting forth the necessity of separating them
from the whites to protect them from the
grasping cnpidiiy Of the latter. 1t claims
that amalgamation, of which " Constitutional
Democrat" have shown so much fear, is inn
practicable in the low ATTITUDES, unless pecu-
liar affinity impes n few scions Of the " First
Families" to brave the sultry climate and fol-
low their chattrls into Texas. The tract pro-
posed to be set apart for an exclusively col.
ored population, stretches from the Gulf OF
New Mexico and from the Rio Grandc to the
Colorado. 1t is productive region, congo.
NAL to Sambo's nature, and easy Of access.
II is believed that Texas. under arrangements
which may bring the State back into the I'm.
ion, will rclnquish he. title to thetcrritory il.
question.

Base Ingratitude.

Tie O,rgouian Of April LIST says that pri'
vat. dispatch had been received ty "A gentle
nan i, Portland, dated March 2o'h, stating
that the bill for a mint in Oregon lad been
defeated. Assuming it to be true, that jour-
nal makes it the occasion for denouucing the
delegation in Congress from Oregon as inc
fficipnt indolent and malicious, and expresses
qualification that the time is near at hand
when their places will be supplied by more
reliable and better men. Happens to us that
the course of the Oregonian is not very well
calculated to promote harmony and good feel
ing between the different wings of the Union
organization. This is more especially true,
NOW that it has been selected as the official
organ Of he party. The OTgonian has, for
many months past been made avehicle ofper-
sonal abuse of Union men, TO crafty the ma
lgnant spite of Il man who has Line all in his
power to defeat the formation of the very I'm
ion party which has now honored it with their
confidence, thus exhibiting a degree Of gcner-
Gus maSnanimity unrivaled in the history of
party politics. No friend Of either of those
who are now so ably representing Oregon i'll
Congress conld have believed when sanction
ing the selection Of Mr.. Pittock for State
Printer, that their act of generosity was to be
reciprocated by reckless and unm'rited abuse
of their personal political friends. 1t would
L. L,,. IN, IN han
mind that there is still time between this
and the day of election to re-assemble the
Convention and reconsider the nomination.
If it persists in its blackgua,d abuse Of those
who enjoy the confidence Of the Administra-
ton as fully as any man or delegation Of men
from this coast, it will have to be- done in or
der to save the Union ticket from defeat.
Men should bear much, and be willing to sac
rifice more, for the sake of party unity. but
there are bounds beyond which forbearancc
ceases to be virtue, in politics as well as iii
morals.
The competitor of Mr.. Pittock in the Con-
ventiop, Mr.. Craig, is connected with jour.
nal which gives an earnest support to
the Administration, and the Union cause in
Oregon, and it has Eeer as remarkable for its
courtesy and regard for the interests and feel
inss of those with whom it happened to differ
upon points of minor importance, as the Ore
pon;au, since it came under the control Of
Amory Holbrook has been regardless of all
those kind properties and amenities so neces-
sary to secure harmony and efficiency in
parry organization.

Building lots were not worth much in Sodom

have they gone up in tho market any when

which challenges the attention Of thoughtful
