From a correspondent of the New York Pepers the following description of the start and crcas- ing of the Chickahominy ts gathered : THE START.

Helntzelman was to toke the road nearest the rebei line, and so in case of attack would have to stand the brunt of action. As there seemed a probabliity of trouble, 1 went with his corps,which is formed of Kearney’s and Hooker's divisions, At balf past five o’clock the tine waé in motion, and by sixo’clock it had passed outside the camp, and taken up the march upon aroed leading to the New Kent turnpike. i the center of a fleld, about balf a mile from the James river, where lay two —— ready for action in case cf a movement This road was run y the enemy.

Once off, the line moved at an easy gait, sopping every hour or 80, for a few moments’ reat ‘bit is part of the country {s called the “ Flower Garder of Virginia.’’ It isin full cul- tivation, and the of vandalism has not touched it. The eye couli see no limit to corn, and wheat and c r fields, which, borderea with magnificent forests and murmuring brcoks, made the entire place seem a perfect Eden. So it was ail along the route through Charles City County, a distance of nine miles. There were many fine residences, particularly of the old fashioned styie, but of white men [ saw but toree. The rest were doubtless in the rebel ar- my. There was not a large display of To faces either. The femaies predcminated, most of the males were old—many superannuated. At dusk, Kearney reached the Chickabominy without meeting with the expected Confederates. Our scouts could fina no indications of the enemy anywhere, and desirous of ay! them an op- portunity, it was determined to bi was not yet constructed, though the stream could bave been forded withcut much trouble. The teams and artillery belenging to Porter’s Divi- sion, had already crossed and were quite ad- vanced on the way. The night was an extreme- ly quiet one. There wes no disposition to hide cur location, for the camp fires burned with their accustomed briliiancy and Hooker’s regiment beat tatoo, as if at Harrison’s Landing. But the men were tired, notwithstanding they had not been bard pressed, besides having had a cool day for traveling. CROSSING THE CHICKAHOMINY. At the int where we crossed the Chicka- hominy is but 40 feet wide and from 3 to 5 feetin depth. The trains forded the river, and for an hour or two the scene was quite enlivening. Sometimes the mules would go through very well, but again they would get stubborn and lie down. Then the steamsters shouted, used their whips, swore, yelled, and made every possible demonstration, but with little success. It was often necessary to hitch a rope to the tongues and put a hundred men or so at work, in order to pull both mules and wagons out. Sutlers and others, riding in low, light wagons, found themeelves almost submerged, and dis- played a great degree of nervousness, the crowd allthe while exhibiting their delight in innu- merable ways, and making matters laughably worse. The military without difficulty. Their powerful horses dragged the cannon and cajssons tarough the flood quite —T but some fear was expressed that the emmuniti get wet, and thus be made useless. The cavalry, of course, had no trouble, and reg- iment after regiment crossed with the same ease almost as if the stream were but a puddle. About noon, however, the pontoon bridge was furnished, and then Jordan was no longer a hard road to travel. ButI cannot help ae that the alr near that particular spot on the Ch: yet redolent with the curses of thousands: team- sters and dozens of sutlers. Teamsters, In my judgment, are the hardest class of men in the ser- vice. They are not only profane in the extreme, bat often brutal in their treatment of the beasts unfortunately committed to their keeping. There are exceptions, of course, but I have seen so rauch unnecessary brutality practised by them that the very mame of tesmster seems a synonym of cruelty. ° irda ht, Heintzieman b’ without croesl tas ivonacked Tt ‘damp evening, and the dew ‘seemed to fall like Talk.
