now know the full history of the day. On this
side Of the river fright bank we repulsed several
strong attacks On the left bank our men did all
that men could do, all that soldiers could accom-
plish, but they were overwhelmed by vastly gu
perior numbers, even after l brought my last re-
rible. believe 1t will prove to be the most des-
perate battle of the war. The sad remnants Of
my men behave az men; those battalions who
fought most bravely, and suffered most, are still
in the best order. The regulars were superb, and
count upon what are left to turn another battle
in company with their gallant comrades Of the
volunteers. Had i $1,000 or even 10000 fresh
troops to use tomorrow, could take Richmond ;
but have not a man in reserve, and shall be
glad to cover my retreat and save the material
and personRel Of the army. II we have lost the
day, we have yet preserved our honor, and no one
need blush for the Army Of the Potomac. have
lost this battle because my force was too small
again repeat that I am not responsible for
this and say 1t with the earnestness of general
who feels in his heart the loss of every brave man
who has been needlessly sacrificed to-day. still
hope to retrieve our fortunes but to do this the
Government must view the matter in the same
earnest Light that do. You must send me very
large refnforeements, and send them at once.

have lost nothing but men, and those the best we
have. ......
In addition to what have already said, / only
wish to say to the President that think he Is
wrong in regarding me as ungensrous when said
that my force was too weak-I merely intimated
q truth which to-day has been too plainly proven.

thousand fresh men could gain the victory to-
morrow.

have changed the battle from defeat to
victory. As II Is, the Government must not and
cannot hold me responsible for the result

many dead and wounded comrades to feel
otherwise than that the Government has not
sustained the army. Hyou do not do 50 now, the

AMERICAN CIrY.-Last week the owners
Of the land where American City is located.
applied to the Legislature for the passage Of
a law seggegating American Flat proper
from the corpOrote jurisdiction Of Gold Hill,
The bill passed the Council and when it went
to the House it was referred to the Gold Hill
portion Of the Storey county delegation.
That committee reported unfavorably to the
measure, and the bill was therefore rejected.
Consequently, American Flat will have to re-
main within the corporation at least another
year. Like the action of the people on the
Constitutional question recently-as also
upon the question of consolidating the coun-
ty, perhaps the people are not fully prepared
for s-and year or two hence will be time
enough for change of government.
