The attack was made sy sud- Genty and unexpectedty that at this time (sixo'elock P.M), ‘while the fight is still going on and all is confusion, it is ‘mporsidle to give the exact position which each regi- ment held in the engagement. ‘TEE FORMON OF OUR TROOPR BEVORE TEE FIGHT. ‘The position of the different brigades before the en- Gagemont was as follows:—Gen. Nagie’s brigade, consist. tag of the ‘One Hundred and Fourth Pennsytvania, Col. W. H. H. Deris; BHieventh Maine, Lieut. Col. Plamsteed; Fitty-sixth New York, Col. C. H. Van Wyck; | Witty-second Peansylvania, Col. J.C. Dodge; One Hundredth New York, Col. J. M. Brown, were om the right of the Williamsburg and Richmond tage road, and extesded across the rail track some din- tance. ‘The Second brigade, under command of Gen. Wessels, ‘eonsisting of the Eighty-Gfth Pennsy!vsnie, Col. T. B. H. Howell; § Que Hundred and First Peansytvania, Col. 7. H. Wilson; ee ee, Col. M. H. Leb- Ninty-stzth New York, Col. J. Fairman, @ecupied the centre, and guarded the turnpike, while the ‘Teiré brigade, Genersl J. N. Palmer commanding, cov- ‘tating of the Eighty first New York, Lieutenant Colonel De Forest; Haghty-fifth New York, Colonel T. S. Belknap; ‘Rinety second New York, Lieutenant Uolonel Anderson; Ninety-cighth New York, Lieutenant Colonel Durkee, ‘were on the left of the road, and joined tne pickets of (General Couch’s division. It is impossible, at this time, te give any reliable account of the number of killed and ‘wounded in Casey’s division. THE DIVISION COMPOSED OF RAW TROOPS, ‘Theee regiments are mostly composed of comparative. ‘mew troops, and have been reduced very much from @ickness since they have been on the peninsula. The whole division could not have numbered more than tiz thou- sand effective men, while the force of the enemy was from Gairty to fifty dewand. ‘THE GALLAFTRY OF THE GENERAL OFFICERS. ‘The officers all, as far as | couid learn, behaved in the mort gallant manner, and their joss is large. General @asey was in the thickest of the fight, and was reported wounded; but Jafterward learned that he escaped un- Dert. General Palmer is reported tilled, and it is gene- wally believed to be true, as he was in the thickest of the fight, and could not be found. He may have been ‘wounded and taken prisoner. General Nagie had his lothes riddled by ballets, but escaped, almost miracu- Jously, without any serious wounds. General Weaslis is weported wounded. TEE DIVIMON FALLS BACK. Casey's division fell back to the Seven Pines, where by of General Coush was drawn up behind riflo EN. coven’s DIVMON x ME ACTON. ‘The battle raged fiercely bere for a time, when Gen. Ooueh fell back, with considerable loss, a short distance, Dut finally succeeded in making @ succossful stand till the arrival of reinforcements from Gen. Heintzelman, whose troops were pouring in on the railroad as I left the SBeld, and, 1 jearn, succeeded jointly in checking the ene may and retaking part ef the ground lost during the day. ‘What the casualties were in Couch’s division it is impos- ‘sible to learn at the time of writing, as it is near dark, ‘and those whose statements can be relied upon are still onthe field. 1 jearn that Peck and Devens’ brigades were actively engaged and suffered considerable loss, but ean learn nothing reliable from the balance. GENERAL SUMNER ORDERED CP. About four o'clock word was sent to General Sumner Qe bring up bis corps, which were encamped beyond the Ghickabominy. They crossed the bridge built by his troops about three miles above Bottom’s Bridge, and @esignated by the name of the Grapevine bridge. The Jest of them crossed about seven o'clock, amd marched directly to the front, where they will be ready for what" ever may transpire in the morning. OUR Loss, 18 be impossible to fix accurately upon the number of our killed, wounded and missing to-night, but I should judge eey will reach via or seven hundred. TRE Loss OF THE EWENY ‘Must have been very heavy, as they received the con- eentrated fre of our batteries for a considerable time, ‘Desides the deadly volley poured into them by our in. infantry A large sumber of our killed and wounded must have fallen into their hands. The object of the enemy, im my ‘opinion, was to makes strong recouncisance, in order to feel our position, and, if successful, to drive us back as far as possibie.§ If such was the object of the movement, it was eminently eucceseful, as far as the events of to. day are concerned; but what will transpire to-morrow remains to be seen. THE REBEL GENERAL IN THE ADVANCE. From a prisoner I learn that the advance of the enemy @onnisted of Mississippi amd North Carolina troops, under the command of General Rhodes, and supported by 60,000 mon.

OTHER WOUNDED TAKEN TO THE WHITE HOUSE. About dark a train consisting of six or sevea cars, was loaded with wounded and started for the White House, where they arrived about ten e’clock, and the wounded carried on board the steamers pre- pared for the purpose. The steamers were provid- ed with every convenience and luxury for the wounded, with kind and faithful female nurses, ONE CAUSE OF CASEY'S DEFEAT. One cause of the disaster to Gen. Casey’s division was owing to the great number of officers ick and unfit for duty. Some of the regiments went! to action with only one field officer, and very few of U¥* companies contained their full compliment of officers: SICKNESS AMONG fIB TROOPS. ‘The division has suffered more from sickness than any other on the peninsula, from the fact of its being com, posed of troops rained last, some of the regiments in fac, Raving been in the field but a few days, while the other Aivisions bad an opportunity, while encamped around Washington, to get ins measure acclimated and accus tomed to camp life. ‘THE REBEL TACTICS.

They succeeded in saving all of their guns but one, but lost all their cais” son stocks. Battery A, of the same regiment, Lieut. Hart, lost six guns, most of them 12-pound brass pieces. These guns the enemy turned upon us as soon as captured. One or two privates of this battery were wounded, bat the names have not yet been ascertained. ‘These are afew whose names I learned as they were being removed from the field. It will be a day or two before anything like a full list can be obtained. Many of the wounded were immediately taken to the rear and placed upon cars and carried to the White House, where boats are in waiting to receive them. ‘The arrangemonts for taking care of the wounded are ascomplote as cculd be expected. REFLECTIONS UPON THE Mant. ‘In summing up tho day's fighting, wo come to the con clusion that, although we were temporarily obliged to fall back a short distance, and suffured the loss of seven field pieces and all our tents, blankets, &c., with a probable Joss in kiilod, wounded and missing of six or seven hun- dred, we still have many things to congratulate ourselves aboutamd to be thankful for. It must be remembered that General Casey’s division went mto the engagement only six thousand strong at the outside, while the force of the enemy was at least four times that number. We wucceeded in saving all our baggage wagons, officers baggage, and losing only agmall amount of commissary more TR ‘Th8 nemy comitieticed the attack about one P. M., throwing theif wholt force against Gen. Casey's po- sition, with the evident design of causing @ panic in his ranks, which they #ot only failed in doing but was held in check for ® long time until many of his men were made to bite the dust, and till Gen. Couch had time to prepare his forces to support him. Then, and not till then—when we hardly had officers enough te give the command—did our brave whet give way before the over- whelming force of the enemy and*fall bagk to the posi- tion cecupied by Gen. Couch. As I left the field regiment after regiment was pouring in from Heintzelman and Sumner, and, though nearly ¢ark, the firing was stil; kept up. The battle will douttiess be renewed in the morning and the enemy driven back. New York Troops in General Casey’s Di. vision. Ataany, June 2, 1862.

According to the despatches of an unofficial character, received from the headquarters of the Army of the Po- tomac, the importance and dimensions of our victory tncrease as they are hourly developed, a. ‘MoCiE.an’s Heapquarrens, Jane 2—P. M. ‘Two days of the battle of Richmond have been fought, on both of which our troops have been victorious. The Joss on both sides has been heavy. ‘The battle was opened by the enemy’s making an at- tack on General Casey’s division, encamped near the Seven Pines, on the turnpike ieading over Botiom’s Bridge, and within seven miles of Richmond. The attack was made about one o’clock on Saturday, by General Hill’s division, composed of fivo rebel brigades, the rebel troops being for the most part from South Carolina, Vir- ginia and Georgia. The fight thore was disastrous. General Casey's troops word forced to retire before Superior numbers, leaving all their camp equipage and twelve batteries. Colonel Bailey, in endeavoring to save his batteries, was killed. Some of the troops in this division, from New York and Pennsylvania, behaved very badly. Many of the officers wero killed and wounded in ondea- Voring to rally their men. Goneral Heintzleman, on ascertaining the result, or. dered forward a portion of the divisions of Generals Kearney and Hooker, to regain the day. General Kearney’s mon, on being brought into ac. tion, charged with the bayonet, driving the rebels before them like sheep, regaining all the lost ground but about half a mile. Night coming on, opera- tions were brought to # close. General Sumner’s two divisions, Generals Sedgewick and Richardson’s, crossed the Chickahominy about three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, taking & position on Gen. Heintsleman’s right. Here they encountered Generals Longstreet’s, Rains’ and Huger’s divisions, the flower of the rebel army. The fighting was desperate, every foot of ground being hotly contested; but our soldiers were too much for them. ‘The enemy would stand manfully at a aistance of sixty yards and be fired at, but they were afraid of the bayo- net, and im every instance that our men charged they were victorious. These two divisions did nobly, driving the rebels at every point until dark. The enomy’s loss was very heavy, many of them being kitted by the bayonet, General Pettigrew, of South Carolina, was taken prisoner. We have about 500 pri- soners, among whom— [Nore.—At this point of the message the line ceased to’ work between Wilmington and Cherrystone, probably owing to a storm.—Reronrer. } Telegram from General Marcy.

Alargo Union meeting was held here to-day. There were fifteen hundred present, and the deepest interest was exhibited. Ex-Governor Neil Brown, in addressing the meeting, said, in his judgment, the rebellion was played out, and Tennesseeans ought now to be all for the Unien. Tennessoe was lost forever to the Confederacy. Common sense showed the folly of con- tending against the federal government, and the longer the war was Kept up the worse it would be for the South. Gov. Brown has been a prominent rebel and a member of the Confederate Military Board of Tennessee. Gov. Johnson made a very powerful speech ef two hours, in which he said the government should not be givea to traitors but to loyal men. His speech was loudly ap- plaaded. ‘The Union feeling is increasing and the pedple are gain- img more confidence. Arrest of a Secessionist.

MOVEMENTS OF GENERAL PRIM. ‘ at Visit to the Brooklyn Navy Yard sate Greenwood—Departure for Washing- ton—His Desire “To See How Americans Fight"=Fhe GeneraPs Fature Move- ‘The Bxoklyn Navy Yard presented a very enlivening scene yesteruay afternoon, cecasioned by the visit of General Prim. At an early hour in the morning both the navai and marine officers were dressed in fall rega- lia, and the ships were adorned in ® becoming manner, to receive so distinguished a guest. The available force at the marine barracks, accompanied by their band, were drawn up in frontof the York street gate, in com- mand of Captain Haywood, and every preparation which Commodore Paulding and Commander Meade, his fag Officer, eould make was done. An unusual crowd of - vusitors were also in attendance, and so large was the assemblage outside the gate that special orderlies had to Be placed there inorder to keep them out of the yard, 20 eager were they to get a glimpse of the Spanish veteran, In fact, nothing was left un~ done to make his visit a pleasant one. At about half- past one the General and other distinguished Spanish gentlemen arrived, and were received with « :nilitary salute from the marines and band as he passed down to the Lyceum, where he was met and received in the mos, cordial manner by Commodore Paulding and other officers attached tothe yard. After going through the Lyceum he took a stroll through the yard, inspecting the ships at present being built, the Roanoke, and those being re paired and fitted out, and then went on board the recety- ing ship North Carolina, where Commander Meade, in hie usual hospitable and gentlemanly manner, entertained him, the band playing the most enlivening airs. Every officer and blue jacket was dressed in his best, and the ‘abip was #o clean and noat that it looked more like a drawing room than a full rigged and armed man-of.war in the present troubled state of the country. The Gene ral and guests then retired, well pleased with their visit- to « Yankee navy yard. From there he and his party proceeded to Green- wood, with which we may well suppose he and they wore ploased, convincing them, at ieast, that our people, even in death, do not abandon the luxury which sur- rounds them in life, from Fifth avenue palaces and princely villas to the carved and costly mausolwums of~ Greenwood. ‘To-day General Prim and his staf! proceed to Washing-- ton to see how our national capital looks after the trou- bles and dangers it has passed through.
