+ wee 10 WCLELLAN’S OPERATIONS, CONTINUED FROM THIRD PAGE, on the advancing line, and still u came on. It seemed as ¥ nothing could step ut. SIGHTS AND SOUNDS. ‘The scene at this time was awfully magnificent. The faint smoke of the musketry fire arose lightiy all along ‘the line just so that the heads of the men could be seen ‘through it; sudden gusts of intense white smoke burst up from the mouth of canon all around; bullets shred- ded the air, aud whistled swiftly by,or struck into trees, fences, boxes, wagons, or with their pe. culiar “chuck” into men; and far up in the air shells burst into sudden flame like shattered Stars, and passed away im little clouds of white vapor, while others filled the air with a shrill scream, and hur- Tied on to burst far in the rear. Every second of time had its especial tone, and every inch of space was packed with death. HOW IT STOOD ON THE RIGHT. It seemed that the enemy’s advance was.checked, for he was fairly stopped in the swampy ground near the Nine Mile road; but he had ed too much to give it up easily, and he tried again; and again our line gave way. The First Long Island broke; but twoof Jame- ®en’s regiments—the Fifty-seventh and Sixty-third Pennsyivania—would have more [tban retrieved it. Colonel Campbell, of the Fifty-seventh, was soon down; but Colonel Hayes, of the Sixty-third, by his heroic ex- ample and desperate endeavor, kept the men in their Places, and inspired all around him with a noble emula- tion; yet the fire was fearful; the regiments seemed to melt, At this point it was that the brave Devens-re- ceived his wound. Hardly a man remained mounted» for every horse was shot, and the regiments were thinned—thinned terribly; but @ few brave men stood there for their country, and kept their places. WHERE WAS BIRNEY ? Birney’s brigade of Kearney’s division, when Birney advanced, had been ordered to advance by the railroad in full time to have reached this point of our hardest fight. Had he reached it, his fresh troops, poured in after ths hard fight already made, must have turned the tide, and the enemy would have been routed then. Buthe did not reach it. He halted. Patterson’s brigade, ordered in to Birney’s left, went through the swampy woods and al- most impassable thicket and pushed on still, while Birney, with afair,dry road and the fight not a mile away, halted and sat down. ‘OUR MEN ORDERED BACK—THRY KEEP IN GOOD ORDER. Tt not certain that our mea would not still have held ‘the point, but now tney were ordered to fall back, and Yell back, rallying and forming as they went, so thay ‘they gave ground and kept their order. The fight in ‘that part of the field on the Williamsburg road for that ay ended afew hundred yards further on. For hour after hour the enemy, with continued accession of fresh troops, had pushed us on, and now, after he had pushed usa mile, we still went jighting him, step by step; and in good order. His impulse was spent, and he stop” Ped. He occupied our camps that night with troops that hed not been in action. GEN. COUCH CUT OFF. When the enemy finally forced our position on the ‘Nine M ile road, the greater part of Couch’s division fell ‘back in the direction of the Williamsburg road; but the General himself, with a smaller body, being nearer to Fair Oak station, fell back across the railroad, and was thus cut off from the army. As soon as this was ascertained he prepared te make the best of it. He ex- ‘amwhed his pesition carefully, sent men to beat up al} the roads, and especially along the New Bridge road, to @eeif Sumner might not be near. The force with Couch ‘was found to consist of four regiments—the First New ‘York Chasseurs, Coionel Cechrane; the Sixty-second New York (Anderson Zouaves), Colonel Riker; the Seventh Massachusetts, Colonel Russell, and the Thirty: frst Pennsylvania, Colonel Williams, and Brady's bat- tery of four pieces. His position was in « large open field, in an angle between the railroad anda road that runs from the Fair Oak station northward towards New Bridge. On the west was a dense wood, from which the enemy might emerge at .any mo- ment, and on the south was the railroa¢ and a fringe of wood through which they could .cross for a flank attack. Whether he had any road for retreat the General did not yet know, so he formed two lines of| Dattle—one toward the railroad, with asection of Brady’e! Dattery, supported by the Massachusetts Seventh ;' another towards the wood to the west, with the other section of the battery supported by the Anderson Zouaves, with the Thirty-firs: Penmaylvania and the First ‘Chasseurs formed close in the edge of the wood, under cover of a rail fence. SEDGWICK’S DIVISION COMING. Lieut. Edwards, who had ridden down the New Bridge road, came back with word that Sedgwick’s division was ‘only two miles away. Couch knew that he could hold his ground till they came, so he was saved the mis- fortune of defeat. They hurried on and came up at half-past five o’clock, General Sumner with them. No change was made in Couch’s dispositions, save in the comparative strength with which either line was held. The First Minnesota, Colonel Sully, was formed on the right of the Chasseurs,and Rickett’s battery of Napo- feon’s to the left of the Thirty-first. Ali the rest of the ‘ Giviekcn ‘was formed on the line towards the railroad. . +9 THE REBRLS beim ADVAN “Shortly fro Oclock the enemy ad- vanced throug! wood on the west, in ‘what force cannot be said with certainty.

As soon as the line of the enemy's advance was known, Rickett's battery opened and threw grape and canister fnto the wood with great effect. Brady was not idle either. One wounded man of a North Carolina regiment, taken from the field the next day, says that ‘be feil at the first fire, and that bis regiment only went ‘@ dozen yards beyond the spot where he fell, until it broke. It could not be rallied. But the line kept on till it was in the edge of the wood and within ten paces of where the Thirty-first Pennsylvania, the First Chasseurs and the First Minnesota lay on their faces, between the rebels and the battery. The rebels could not see them, and as they came to the edge of the wood they delivered ao veley shttn Antarain Greaves tm the field farther smu. we Sip on, DRATH OF COLONEL RIKER. ‘That volley killed Colonel Riker, and the Zouaves ‘Droke and ran. Yet they only ran twenty yards, when they were rallied and went right ap to the edge of the ‘wood and opened their fire. UP GUARDS AND AT 'Eu. No sooner had the rebels, by that volley, emptied their guns, than the three regiments that had been lying down arose to thetr feet and,poured a volley in at almost distance at all, Phat volley settled that fight. Through ‘ood in front of that line the rebels lay dead and in Reaps. Brigadier General A.C. Davis was dead there, and Brigadier Generai Pettigrew, ‘wounded fand his horse kilied, was there taken prisoner. When the rebel line advanced in the wood, Gorman’s brigade, from..the line of battle on the rail. road, was thrown ‘on the right flank of the rebel Une to turn it; but when the musketry broke that line, ‘and the rebeis fell into confusion, the brigade pressed forward, and se cut of and drove im a large number Of prisoners. Com oF THE FIRST Dav’s MGHe. So cloned the battle for that day, and General Couch, than whom his country has no better, braver or more earneat soldier, slept that might further forward om the road to Richmond, searer to the rebel eapital than he had done any night before. at mout Both ermies lay upom the field. Many wounds were dressed at Savage's house, which had heen immediately made a hospttal, and between that point and the battle field many remarkable experiences were compared. Perhaps the most notable was the number of officers hit. Brigadier General Devens received @ bullet in the ri-nt deg, but kept the field for two hours after it. Brigadier General Wessels was struck bys ballin the shovider, Dut not disabled. A musket ball passed scross Genera) Couch’s breast and only cut bis coat. Colonel Briggs, o the Massachusetts Tenth, was struck in three places, and disabled finatiy by a rifle ball that passed through both thighs. Colonels Riker, of the Sixty-second New York, Dodge, of the Eighty-seventh New York; Bailey, of the First New York artillery, aud Ripley, of the Sixty-first Pennsylvania, were all killed. Colonels MoCartey, of the Ninety-third Pennsylvania; Rowley,of the Hundred and Second Pennsylvania; Van Wyok, of the Fifty-sixth ‘New York, and Hunt, of the Ninety-seoond New York, were wounded. Majors Ely, of the Twenty-third Pennsy). Vania, and King, of the Eighty-Ofth New York, were also weverely wounded nowses ‘The Joss of horses tells where the officers who wode them were.

All the gentlemen of Couch’s stafl—Captain Walker and Lieutenants Edwards and Burt—had horses shot. Gene- ral Peck’s was bit three times. General Casey’s horse was bit, and General Devens’ also. LOSSES, In the fight of Saturday the bulk of the losses on either side took place, and show the terrific severity of the fighting. Our loss for that day will scarcely fall Short of three thousand in killed and wounded. Upon the field of battle we heard the evemy’s loss estimated as probably two to one for our own, and the appearance of the field made the estimate seem reasonable. SUNDAY—THE SECOND DAY. On Sunday our men stood to their arms before day- light. As the enemy chooses Sunday for his battle days we oxnected him; but we knew that if he did not advance there would be no battle, as Sunday is never chesen for @ movement on our part, and would not be, apparently, even to win back our camp. So, from very early on Sunday, it began to look like what it proved to be—an affair of three days. OUR DISPOSITION. Our men, at dawn on Sunday, were disposed as fotows:— SICKLES IN THE FIELD. On the left, stretched acrogs the Richmond road, the Sickles brigade was in face of the enemy, at scarcely two hundred yards distance, posted on a slope so that the rise of the ground toward the enemy served as a com- plete cover. THE NEW JERSEY BOYS. To the right of Sickles, ina thick swamp, was Patter- sgon’s New Jersey brigade. Both of these brigades faced toward Richmond, and this was the point at which our men had been pushed the hardest and farthest: OTHER COMMANDS. ‘To tho right of Patterson was Richardson’s brigade, the Vine of which was drawn at right angles with the line of Sickles and Patterson. Richardson faced towards the flank of the force, in front of those two brigades. Sedg_ wick joined on to Richardson, and part of his division as- sisted to strengthen Couch’s line in the wood from which vherebels had been driven on Monday afternoon. THE RENELS AGAIN BEGIN TLE FIGHT. Our first anticipation had scarcely settled into the con- vietion that the enemy intended to give Sunday to care for the dying and dead, than we heard the pickets at it ‘It was in front of Richardson’s division. Richardson’s dine ran, as we have intimated, parallel with the railroad, and was on the northern side of it. The enemy was in our camps on the southern side of it, and in a strong po- sition, covered by a swamp. Force was immediately sent forward to support the pickets, and became engaged in its turn. The enemy formed his men in line, and was disposed to feel us agair. Our men had arisen from sleep in the anticipation of battle, and their minds were ready for it. They were not green troops either, and the day gave promise of hard work. ‘THE IRISH AND OTHER BRIGADES. Soon the fire became general, and spread along the lines of the Irish brigade, French's brigade, and the brigade of the gallant Howard. This day also the enemy's fire was well dirocted and severe. But it was returned with certainly equal effect, and our men pushed forward, across the railroad and down into the swamp, and now the enemy in his turn gave way. It was very difficult ground, and the men could not at all times keep the line, and were often up to their waists in water in the advance through the awamp. Yet still they kept on. Sometimes, too, there may have been a weakness under the tire, but the gallantry of the officers kept the men up to it. This was once or twice the case in Howard's brigade; but the young, hero, by his own gallantry, gave an example that restored all. Two horses were shot under him in this advance, and here- ceived two rifle balls in his right arm; but he bound up the shattered lim» in a handkerchief and kept the field. With the continual din of the musketry, as it pealed up and down the lines on either heard, and only example served. officers were compelled to keep ahead in the advance to show the men what was wanted. le, no order could be Thus the mounted There was the Irish Brigade in all the glory of a fair free fight. Other men go into fights finely, sternly, or indiffegently, but the only man that really loves it after . all {s;the “green immortal” Irishman. So there the ybrave lads from the old sod, with the chosen Meagher at their head, !aughed and fought and joked,as if it were the finest fun in the world. We saw one sitting on the edge of a ditch, with his feet in the water—and the sun { and the water too very hot—and he apparently wounded. As we rode by he calledout to know if we “had ever geen a boiled Irishman.” HOW HOOKER'S MEN DID. From Richardson's division the fire spread around to the New Jersey brigade,on the front which the enemy Nobly did the Jer- SICKLES ON HIS FIRST FIELD. Still farther to the left was the Excelsior Brigade, and Though on, we believe, his first seen om 0 ° HOW MUOH FASTER THEY WENT ON. Sickles’ men apparently lost their patience, and we suppose the officers did, and General Sickles especially. When men advance across a battle field, loading and firing as they go, they naturally do not go very fast, and the Sickles Brigade voted the gait tobe decidedly slow. Sethe order was given to fix bayonets and charge, and they did it aot mincingly at all, but in terrible earnest and with a glorious cheer. their places; some stood long enough to fire their pieces, and then run; but the mass ran at enee, scamperedaway throagh the woods like so many squirr els. Some of the rebels sood it and held ‘That ended the fight for Sunday in that direction, for it would mot do to let the men go rashly too far into the woods. We didn’t know what little arrangements of ar. tillery, &¢.,the enemy might have made there in our absenee, so with a wise caution, the Sickles’ Brigade was drawn back to the edge of the wood. and Isid away there snugly; and there it spent its Sunday ready for visitors, though nene came, if we except several innecuous shel) that the enemy threw into the wood over their boade.

It was apparently not the de sign that we should make any general advanee on Sun day, se we merely drove the enemy away &s be came up, andthen fell into our places again with @ true Sunday calm. ‘THE DoseEs. 1s was only nine A.M. when the calm came, but in this short fight much had been done. Howard’s brigade alone lost :n this fight, in kiled and wounded, five bua- dred and thirty-six men. “LITTLE NAPOLEoR.”’ Genera) McClellan had ridden very earty on Sun- day morning, and when the fight he immediately rode down the Wiliamsbarg road, and over the whole scene of action which he directed. His_presence ex- cited the moet intense enthusiaem tm the troope* both on the field and later in the day, when he rode along the lines and looked kindly on the shattered regiments that had been in Saturday's fight. To these brave fellowe— ‘few and faint, but fearless still,”—the young Com. mander addressed few worde of pleasant encourage. ment that thrilled every ear, and then rode away. REUEL LOSERS OF SUNDAY. ‘The scene in the woods on Sunday told a story that wilt De heard with sad ears, no doubt, throughout the South. ‘There Iay in heaps the dead, and those in mortal agony terribly mingled—men, young and old—mostly young— from every Southern State. All day Sanday, after our own men had been seen to, we bad ont parties in the woods with stretchers bringing in the wounded rebels, and other parties engaged in bury- ing them. Our enemies, tired of the fight, employed the greater part of the day in the same way. And 0 went out the second day of the Battle ef the Seven Pines. THB TERY DAY—WHAT WAS DONE ON MONDAY. On Monday morning our position could be summed up about thns:—Two divisions, much reduced in strength from various causes, had been attacked by a greatly au- pertor fores of geod troops and driven fully @ mile from the first point of attack; but by the arrival of frean troops the enemy’s course had been arrested, and his perpose to drive us into the Chiekahominy decidedly de- femed. Yet be cocepied our camps and the position he had taken. On Sanday be had again attacked us and been com- pelied to retire with loss. Bot though Richardson’s division bad érives him on the railroad, and the Siekies’ brigade through the woods on the Wilkamsburg road, he still held nearly all, and certainly much the greater part, f the ground taken on Saturday. Some men of the Tenth Massachusetts regiment went into their camp on Sunday and brought away @ ham, but it was quoted as @ piece of dexterity, so near were the enemy to the place, and the camp of the Tenth was im the rear of all Couch’s division. So now on Monday morning we were apparently to begin the week well—to go forward and reoccupy alive or dead the position from which the enemy had driven us. Resolution was on every face, and all buckled themselves up with a determination to do afull share of the work, and not only to retrieve what had been lost but to win more. It was still dim and misty when the lines were under arms, and but little later when the advance of skirmish- ers was thrown forward. Cautiously the men went 01 every step was made completely sure before the next was taken, until a position was gained on the William: burg road where a battery could be posted. There battery was accordingly placed so as to command the whole road, and again the-men went on. Farther and farther, and the enemy fell back his pickets in sight. It began to look very much as if the third day—the day of reoccupation—was to be a bloodless one. CAMP REDCCUPIED. And so indeed it proved, and our men pushed om step by step, pushing the rebels on before, with a lightex- change of fire but no seriow® resistance, until we were ouce more entirely at home. FARTHRE STILL. ‘Then they pushed on again, through camp and be- yond it, and once more they were on the road to Ric! mond; and they kept on it,and that night our pickets were posted within four milts of the rebel capital, and near to a line of works that we fancy is, or represents, the celebrated last ditch whete the rebels are to make a final stand. END OF THE BATTLE OF THE SEVEN PINES. Thus the affair became complete. We had lest our camp, the enemy held it, and now it was retaken—ours once more, and we felt a satisfaction inthe result that would not have been greater if we had retaken the camp as bloodily as we had lost it. His departure was a full acknowledgment that he had failed, and was defeated in the purpose for which be came. ON THE FIELD Lay even yet a large number of the rebel dead, and even some of their wounded were yet alive and uncared for on the third day. THE BATTLE NEWS AT WHITE HOUSE. Our W ounded Soldiers—How They are Cared for—The Body of Colonel Riker En Route to New York, é&c. OUR SPECIAL ARMY CORRESPONDENCE. Waurre Hovss, June 3, 1862. The events of the past two days have been tho most exciting ones of the present war. We have had three days of the most sanguinary battling, with e list on our side of killed, wounded and missing of not less than four thousand men. The enemy’s loss will not sum up less than this if it does not far exceed it. Our troops have fought with a valor and heroism never surpassed, seldom equalled and against numerical odds. ‘THE ENEMY RECENTLY REINFORCED. ‘There seems to be no doubt in the mindsof the mili- tary men engaged in the prevailing battle, that th® enemy near Richmond have recently been largely rein- forced by Beauregard’s army from Corinth, and that they intend to dispute, inch by inch, McClellan’s way to the former city. OUR TREATMENT OP THE REBEL PRISONERS—HOW RECEIVED, A rebel major who was wounded and taken prisoner day before yesterday, said after one of our surgeons dressed his wounds, ‘gentlemen, I did not expect such kind treatment at your hands, but Itell you in all candor yougnever can capture Richmond unless you de tt over the dead and wounded bodies of firty thousand men. We have resolved it; we shall endeaver to perform it.” ‘Thissentiment is shared by all the prisoners we have captured. OUR ENEMY NOT TO ge DESTISED. This is prima facie evidence {J.t we have no common enemy to battle; an enemy who will stoop to any means; yea, even to base treachery and barbarity, to carry oug their hellish principles. We have had two days hard fighting and a portion of the third, and our army have only made good their original position. We have gained no vantage ground. Richmond must be ours; to capture it McClellan must be reinforced by fifty thousand more men, at least, and this succor must be prompt, willing. No delay must be permitted. Let the War Department see to it. THE WEATHER—THE RAILROAD AND THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS. To-day the weather bas been exceedingly hot. The temperature has been eighty-six in the shade. The railroad trains between this point and the battle field bring in our wounded soldiers. Thus far about two thousand have arrived here and been placed on board our hospital steamboats and sem to Fortress Monroe and elsewhere. The steamers Commodore, Knickerbocker, State of Maine, Elm City and Whilden have each taken their departure from here, The Danicl Webster will leave here during the night. The South America is waiting to get to the wharf, ready to re- ceive her cargo of wounded on board. THR NEW YORK SANITARY COMMISHION, with its corps of assistants, have been untiring in their exertions towards our wounded. The preparations they made prior to the battle to receive our wounded have been praetically tested and have proved suceessful. The embarkation of the wounded troops has been conducted by Dr. Eilis, United States Army, a gentleman of a most sympathizing nature, professional skill and of affable manner of communication, For thirty-six hours, with- out rest, he has attended to our unfortunate soldiers, alleviating their sufferings and giving them all the com- fort that kind words and profassional ekill could do, MR. C. B. BARCLAY, the philanthropist of Philagelphia, a gentleman whose name is identified with many acts of kindness to our sick and weunded soldiers, is occupying « prominent post in the eare of our soldiers. Hon. John Potten, of Penneylvanis, and Hon. Mr. Odell, of New York, are doing all in their power to assist in the care of our wounded. THR BODY OF COLONBL J. L. RIKER, of the Sixty-second New York Volunteers, was brought to this point laat evening. It was subsequently em. baimed by Dr. Holmes, of Williamabarg, N. Y., and placed im a black walnut coffin. It will be forwarded to-day to New York city, in charge of Quartermaster Yates, Lieutenant J. H. Bradley and Lieutenant Rice. Colonel Riker met his death on Saturday afternoon. af- ter the enemy had opened the attack on our lines Peck’s brigade—to which the Sixty-second regiment was at. tached—was sent to confront the enemy. They had not proceeded far when a numerous body of the enemy wore seen advancing in echelon. Lieutenant Bradley, Colonel Riker’s secretary, who, on this occasion, was Acting Aid to General Couch, proceeded towards the enemy, and discovered their true character He advanced until he could see ‘their neck handkerchiefs.” ‘THE REVEL BATTLE FLAGS. He saw the rebel battle flag—a white one, with red cross. The enemy also displayed a flag very much re. sembling the American ensign, and well caleulated to de- ceiveus. They also displayed a white flag with a blue crows, the latter so faint in color as to make the flag resem- bie a fing of truce. A battery immediately opened on the enemy, throwing (grape and canister among them with a rapidity and accuracy of aim that mowed them down like graes, The places} of the falien rebels and their broken ranks were promptly filled, an@ they marched towards our batiery with « solid front. At this time the Sixty-second was moving to the attack im column by eompanies. The enemy advanced across a field ore thousand yards wide, The ight waxed warm, both side, displaying tactand courage; the superior mambers of the enemy gave them some advantage over our troops. & was while Colonel Riker was leading a charge mounted on his splendid white charger that he received his death wound, He was smoking asegar at the time he met his death, and said to bis men “remember when you aro out of ammunition, stee! will kill the devil.” He imme. Giavely threw up his right arm, fell over his horse’s neck to the ground. Some of his men ran to his succor, but his wound proved immediately fatal. The dooensed Colonel was a lawyer of New York, and asom of ex-Re- corder Riker, His death is much regretted by the army generally. The gunboat Currituck, Acting Mester Shankland, made a reconnoiseance from here up the Pamunkey river today. She proceeded toa place called Piping Tree, point about twenty miles distant, but without seeing ti enemy. She destroyed all the dugouts and canoes on the route, and captured ® small steamboat, recently com. pre THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. Names of the Killed and Wounded as far as Known. Our readers will at once perceive that when a battle of such magnitude as that which took place on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, occurs, and in which from three to four thousand men are killed and wounded, it is impos- sible to obtain all the names at once. The accompanying list ig a corrected one ag far as known, and although meagre in itself, is as full as could be obtained. We shall doubtless be in possession of the complete list to-day or to-morrow, and shall’at onee give it to the public. Our correspondent has furnished us with the following table of losses in certain regiments, but has not yet been able to ascertain the names of those therein enumerated:— Massachusetts ‘1enth—29 killed, 84 wounded, New York Fifty-fifth—89 killed and wounded. Pennsylvania Twenty-third—150 killed and wounded. New York Thirty-sixth—5 killed, 34 wounded. Pennsylvania Ninety-third—14 killed, 92 wounded. Genoral Howard lost in his whole brigade 536 men.

Winston, Colonel of the regiment, war formerly Governor of Alabama, for two successive terms—1855-56 and 1857-68—and while holding his gubernatorial position obtairied the of “The: ‘Veto Governor,” in consequence of the large number of vetoes that he sent in to the Legislatures during his off- cial terms. He is a native, we bolieve, of the State of” Alabama, and during the early peried of his: life resided im Greene county, which couaty he represented in both branches of the Ala- Dama Legisiature. At the time of his election as Gover- nor, Col. Winston was a resident of the city of Mobile where he was largely engaged in the commission and brokerage business. During his gubernatorial term he made a reputation for sound statesmanship, sagacity and Jackson-like firmness of character. He was ardently at- ‘Southern rights” school of politics, though he was not of the number of Yancey’s ‘‘precipi- tators.”” After serving his second term as Governor, he meddled very little in the politics of the day, though he was urged on the Jate Charleston Convention by many Southern politicians as a candidate for the Vice Presi- dency. He was one of the Alabama delegates to that. SIXTY-THIRD PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS. Wounded. Colonel Morgan, hip. Lieutenant Morebead, Company G, right hand.
