ACTION WITH THE AMERICANS.

When | overlook the skirmishers.
they were in full pursuit of the Ameri-
cans, now flying with all precipitation
before them. The wood was accord
ingly cmptied in trice; but on reach
inc its skirts, we found that we had,
to say the truth, expected to find, that
the rifiemen now dislodged were moth
ing more than the outposts, or rather
advance corps, of a regular army. At
the opposite extremity of a few open
fields, about six or seven thousand men
were drawn up in line. Their left rest
ing upon a lake, and their right extend
ing to the mouth of creek; their cen
ire was protected by high palings, and
a row of lofty trees, whilst all before
them was exposed and bare, to the dis
tance of nearly halt a mile. OF artill-
cry, they appeared to have some six
or eight pieces in the field. These
were arranged, two upon the main road,
which fell in towards the right of the
position, three somewhat farther to the
left, and the remainder singly and at
different intervals between the corps of
infantry. About halfmusket shot in
front of them, was fam house, sur
rounded by numerous barns, stables
and stock-yard. Whether or not
they had filled it with troops, we had
no means of ascertaining; but it oc-
Cured to Charlton that it might be
worth while to seize it, in case they
should have neglected measure to
them of so much Importance. With
this view, we lost no time in rushing
on. We sprung over the paling, and
having received two discharges ofgrape
from the guns upon the road, reached
the house in question, with the loss of
only three men. The enemy had not
occupied it; we took possession with
out delay; and rejoicing sincerely in
the error of which they had been gull
ty, determined that no efforts should
on our parts be wanting to hinder them
from retaking it.
Established in this snug post, abund-
ant leisure was granted for observing
as we'll the dispositions made by the
enemy to receive the attack, as the adj
vance OF our own troops to make it;
and most animating spectacle both
the one and the other presented. On
the side of the Americans, mounted
officers could be seen riding backwards
and forwards, apparently encouraging
their men to do their duty. Some
companies moved from its rear wheeled
up into line; others quitting the line,
fell back towards the reserve But
the corps which attracted the chief
share of our attention, consisted of the
identical riticmcn, whom we had so
lately driven before us out Of he wood
They continued for some time to drop
in, by sections of eight. six and ten.
and taking post in rear of the line. re-
sumed, as The y best could, something
like order. Nor were other manifesta-
tion of resolution to keep their
ground wanting. Several tumbrils and
ammunition wagons arriving, were
speedily emptied of their contents; and
casks of cartridges, ranged at intervals
behind the men, bore testimony to the
z.al with which the store-keepers' de-
plrtment had been attended to. Such
was the condition of affairs on the right.
Away towards the left, again, good
deal of marching and counter-marching

army is usually five to one, it was easy
to collect that the whole amount of
persons rendered hors-1e. comJut, must
have been very considerable. Yet
there was not amongst us one man " no
did not feel that the victory had been
purchased at a terrible price,-it had
cost the life of our General, and in so
doing, had crippled all our resources.
The day being now considerably adj
vancsd, and the troops somewhat ia
tigued by their exertions, our now lead
er determined to halt for that night on
the field which We had won. With
this view, the bugles were directed to
sound the recall; whilst the Quarter
Master General proceeded to fix upon
a proper spot for the bivouac, and to
sustain the out-posts. Nor were the
medical attendants of the army un-
mindful Of their important charge.
There chanced to be, in the line of the
late operations, two houses of some
size; these were Of course occupied,
and the smaller and more incommo-
dious being selected as headquarters,
the larger and better was devoted to
the accommodation of the wounded.
Thither, all who had not been already
dressed upon the field, and sent back
to the boats, were conveyed; nor was
the smallest distinction made between
the Americans and the English. To
say the truth, however, they were in
differently provided for The owners
having removed every piece of furni-
ture out of the house, the poor soldiers
could only be huddled together on the
floors of the different apartments; and
as our medical officers were few in
number the delay in paying attention
to their wounds was in some cases very
great. Yet few, either of the English
or the Americans, complained. A
groan or shrek would, indeed, occa-
sionally strike upon the ear of the by
stander; and even querulous excla-
nation, as the moving Of another's leg
or arm happened to bring it into con-
tact with some unfortunate mans
broken limb. But there were no mur-
murs; no winnings because one or the
other was not Immediately looked to.
On the contrary, the instances were
not rare in which one wounded man
would entreat the surgeon to pass him
by for the present, that the wound of
another more seriously hurt might be
dressed in the first place. 1t is a great
mistake to imagine that war necessar-
lily renders men selfish. In such cam
paigs as that of the French in Russia,
where suffering may be said to have
reached its height, the better feelings
ofhuman nature become, without doubt,
entirely blunted; but in ordinary cases,
the inquirer will find as much of real
generosityand noble-mindedness among
soldiers in the field, as among any
class of human society.
The troops being checked, not with
out some difficulty, in the midst of
their ardor, the different regiments col
lected round their colors, and formed
into close column. Fires were then as
usual lighted; and there, but short
space removed from the bodies of the
slain, we prepared to pass the night.

Chicago June 1.-THE Executive Committee OF
the Western Passenger Association met to-day TO
consider the rate situation in the West Represen-
tatiyes of the Denver and Rio Grande and OF the
oregon Sh ,rt Line were present The meeting ac-
compshed nothing Of moment. and the feeling Is
general that 1t will require meeting Of the presi-
dents Of the Western roads to straighten out the
muddle. as the general passenger agents leei tnat
the matter has reached a point which is somewhat
beyond their jurisdiction. 1t is likely that another
meeting will be held within few days. and II 1t Is
not successful the chances are bright for brisk
fight II is conceded on all sides that the rate
situation IS more precarious just now than at any
time since 1880.
The Western roads kept the wires hot to-day IN
the effort &c get their Eastern connections to Join
with them in meeting the rates made yesterday by
the 800" line from St. Paul to the Atlantic sea-
board II the Eastern agents will not Join In there
will be nothing left for the Western roads to DO
but sit down and see all the business from 81 fau
for the Atlantic seaboard carried by the 500 iine
for it is out of the question for them TO meet the
rate without the cooperation Of their Eastern con-
nections. The Eastern roads had not consented to
join in ing the rates this afternoon. but con-
fdence expressed by the Western lines that
tonight early in the morning word would be RE-
ceived from the Eastern lines saying that they VIII

Brighton, England. June 1.-THE cricket game
here to-day between the American team and Sus-
sex partook OF the nature Of sensation the
home team had every confidence Of scoring an
easy victory. for the visitors had Just SUFFERED
defeat at the hands Of Cambridge who In turn
had been defeated by Sussex by an enormous

close Of the days play they led the home team on
the first innings by no less than ITO runs Inc
downfall of the Sussex batsmen for " runs was
unaccountable. King certainly bowled In mag

Brighton is noted for the fine wickets always

by being able to bat his team first The nrst TWO
