( REV. HENRY G. BADGER. recently from
San Francisco, preached in the First Parish
Church yesterday. In the morning he gave
very eloquent sermon, in which he paid his
compliments to the South, but in such terms
as would not exactly suit JEFF. Davis and his
satellites, nor the more numerous copperheads
OF the North. Mr.. Badger has a deep.toned,
rich voice, is an able writer and an eloquent
speaker Before the services closed he read
letter from Mr.. Stebbins TO the Parish Com
mittee, and also the answer written by VIM.
Willis. Resolutions were also read, which
were passed by the Parish when the resigna-
tion of Mr.. Stebbins was accepted. These
documents show the deep respect the men,
bers Of this Parish have for Mr.. Stebbins. In
the evening Mr.. Badger gave very INTEREST,"
ing account Of the society in San Francisco.
We have not space to give even an outline of
this able discourse. ~ sl3S.ss

attention of Captain Brayton, who immedi-
ately stepped his steamer and sent the boat

TO the surprise of all, not only were the enemy
found entrent he'd en- both sides Of the Boynton
Plank Road, but they had strong works on
both sides of the run, extending several miles.
The I'd Corps in their charge on the plank
road, drove the rebels from their works on the
south side of the run, and across bridge
which they held possession until ordered to
withdraw. "a a1 sst4l 4.il IN
On the advance Of the 9Th Corps, they NOV

being very crooked in this vicinity, by keep

was about 400 including many officers.

the enemys works on their front, and become
wholly engaged, The loss here was not so
