Historical.

Richmond. May 9, 1S6S.-We have seen rough times since we left Horktown. Our camp Is three-ouarters of mile
 from town: but we are not allowed to go in The Yankees are following us up slowly. We came in from picket this
 morning. and heard they are, building a
 bridge across the Chickahominy where We
 left.
 Note-The battle of Seven Pines was
 fought on May 3lst Rodes's brigade doing
 valiant service. We quote from General
 Rodess report: On the morning of the
 31st, the brigade was stationed on the
 Charles City "oad three and half miles
 from the point on the Williamsburg road
 from which 1t had been determined to
 verbal order from General Hill to con
 duct my command at once to the point
 at which the attack was to be made. The
 progress of the brigade was considerably
 delayed by the washing away of
 bridge near the head of White Oak
 Swamp. by reason of which the men had
 to wade in water waist-deep. and large
 number were entirely submerged. At this
 point the character of the crossing was
 such that 1t was absolutely necessary to
 proceed with great caution 10 prevent the
 loss of both ammunition and Tie. Tn con
 sequence of this delay, and notwithstand-
 ing that the men were carried at double quick over very heavy ground for d con- siderable distance to make up for it; when the signal for attack was given,
 only my line of skirmlshers-the 9th Ala hhama' and the Eth Misslssippi-was in pgTiieOl 7 The Commanding general. Joseph F. | Johnston, was wounded In this battle, and General Lee was placed in command of | the army. Captain Fox and Lieutenant | Goree of the Independent Rifles were both
 killed. and Lieutenant Burton became l captain.
 The first news from the battle received | by the family of the soldier whose for l tunes we are following. was this letter
 from friend in Montgomery, an old | Virginian:
 Dear Captain-It becomes my painful | duty this morning to convey unpleasant | tidings. l have just received the follow | ing dispatch: C. in Richmond wounded | in the side; fear 1t is mortal
 aR3'. Robert Lumpkin. | - MT. Lumpkin is a personal friend of I mine. and it is truly fortunate that C. ! fell into his hands.
