Some brigades wore left without Colonel,and no brigade but lost one or more of ite eolonels; no regiment but lost seme field officer, and forme had not a field offieer left. Line officers, too, fell in great oumbers, and this indicates that, however it may have been at Bull run, our officers now know their duty and are ready to do i. THE FIRST DAY. Saturday, May 31,1862, i distinguished te the fu- ture as the first day of the hard fought battle of the Beven Pines, This battle was an attempt of the rebel generals to force our lines and to drive back npon the Chickabominy river, now greatly swollen, the left wing of the Union army. Many suppose the prosent high state of the Chickabominy river net to be naturi the rebels, by some contrivance of dams near ite head, have flooded it, and that their strategy went so far as to involve our original passage of the stream, whieh they are thus thought to have permitted, that they might swell the stream behind us, aed then, by an over. whelming attaok, cut off and deatroy the whole of Gen. Ke command and whatever other treops might be fm its rear. THE REORL FORCE AT THR FIRET ONEH, Perfectly informed of our position and foree, they ~ chase ® point fer thelr atipck, thet gould long pean Special Despatches from the | it, They intended the blow to be desperate, and made it with their best troops. Eighteen thousand men of therebel army, in one division—men from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Virginia—men of high courage and admira- ble disetple—led by Gen. Longstreet, left Richmond at daylight on that Saturday, and went out to battle. They went also to ruin, failure and defeat. Never did simple courage more deserve success than they did; never did soldiors falter less under fire or show a better front than they did through five long hours of that day. But they have returned to Richmond, save that large proportion of them that, side by side with so many of eur own brave mep, ‘“‘look proudly to Heaven from the death bed of fame.’ Returned to Richmond, and far to the rear of the left wing the Chickahominy tumbles turbulently on;the Union lines are drawn closer than ever; ‘the Gaul is still at their gates.’ ‘THE BATTLE AN IMPORTANT ONT. Though the battle of the Seven Pines may not be the bloodiest of the war, it is the most important battle yet fought, and it is the one in which the armies of either side have had their hardest fight. TUE Losses. Nor will it fall far behind any other fight in respect to loss, as our own will amount to eight bundred killed and three thousand wounded; while the loss of the enemy is fully one thousand killed and four thousand wounded. Nearly all of ourmenare accounted for, and the number of our missing is consequently very small, while of the enemy’s men we have taken from a thousand te fifteen hundred prisoners. THE FIELD OF BATTLE. ‘SEVEN PINES AND VICINITY. From a short distance beyond the Chickahominy river the highway to Richmond, known as the Williamsburg road, runs directly: west to the rebel capital. Seven miles east of Richmond on this read is the piace known ag the Seven Pines. Nvar to the Seven Pines ® common country road, known to us as the Nine Mile road, crosses the main road, and on the left (our left) runs through the woods towards White Oak Swamp. On the right the road runs in a northwesterly direction by Fair Oak station, on the Richmond Railroad to Richmond. By this road it j is.nine miles from the Seven Pines to the city, In the northwestern angle of this road and the main road is a house (C,in diagram), and farther up the same road beyond a swampy wood is another house (PD). A third house stands to the right of the Richmond road, half a mile nearer to Richmond (B), and a fourth on the left hand side of that road (A). Beyond the latter house ‘was a large open cultivated fleld. House (B) also stood | in an open field, Toward Richmond both these felis are bounded by a thick wood, the edge of which had been felled to ferm am abattis, and obstruct the approach of the enemy. Dense woods ron all along our left, but nearly all the battle fleld has once been cultivated, though in parts of it there was a high growth of wood when we came up. This was felled, and formed abattie, GASBY’S POSITION. General Casey’s pickets were in the edge of the wood beyond the house (B),and his camp was formed with his first brigade on the right, the second in the contre, and the third on the left of @ line across the plain, in the rear of some inoonsiderable earthworks, hastily thrown up seon after his occupation of the point. ‘These works, © redeabt on the left, and a line of rifle pite, wore planned by Lieutenant McAllister, of United States En, gineors, and executed by Lieutenant E. Walter West, act, ing engineer on General Casey's staff, ORWRRAL CAMRY’S STRENOTH, It is necessary to speak of the condition of Gen. Casey's command, and it will, perbaps, not be contraband to say of it what {s not true of any other division of the army, and what will not be true of that division after afew wooks of rest. It was made up when firet organized of very raw troope—the latest enlistments of our immense army. There was no cohesive strength even im the regi- ments, discipline was lax and the men, as soon almost as the division was formed, were pushed into active ser- vice—made to march and starve with our year old regi- ments; to bivouac and fight side by side with those who had been out so long as to begin to consider themselves veterans. Numbers consequently became sick, and this weakened his division greatly, Moreover it had on the day of the battle an unusually extensive picket line, and swarly every reviment Bad owl three com seh On picket or W Gewese WATERS-SON MY > BI ey, ADVANEE EXTENT OF THE fatigue duty, From the: varione eauses this division did not on Saturday huve in tho field more than siz thousand effective men. THR REBEL GENERAL'S STRENGT.. General Longstreet, as we have said, left Richmond with the whole effective force of his command—six bri- gades—purposely to drive us across the Chickahominy. Other troops also came; and a number of prisoners state the force in the field at five divisions, They advanced down the Williamsburg road, and thus the whole brunt of the first attack fell upon Gen. Casey. HOW THE FIGHT HRGAN. It was about noon when we first heard the scattered fire of our pickets in front. For two or three days be- fore there had been skirmi: hes betwoen the pickets near the road in front, and th g was mistaken for another affair of the same kind, and thus some time was lost; for, instead of the dispositions that shouid have been made, a regiment was simply ordered out—the One Hun- dred and Third Pennsylvamia—to support the pickets. ‘This regiment went out quickly, was formed near the road, and almost stumbled upon the enemy advancing in line of battle. Before the men had even loaded their pieces, the One Hundred and Third received a full and steady volley, from the effects of which it didnot re- cover, That one fire—deltvered almost as a compleve surprise, and which our men could not return—cut down, perhaps, one-fifth of the regiment, and demora- lized the remainder, No more service was had from the One Handred and Third that day) and, what was.worse, the men began to stream to the rear with the old story of ‘‘ cut to pieces.’’ It ought to beacrime punishable with death in our army for any soldier to say that his regiment was * cut to pieses ;”’ it is a shibboleth with many in which they beast their own diegrace, though in this case it was somewhat different. Of course, this stream of men had no good effect upon the spirits of their fellows, and thus the day begun in mis- fortune, FORMATION OF THE RATTLE. But that one volley, while it annihilated the regiment, told also quicker than courier could carry the news, the mistake that had been made, and that the enemy was upon us, Casoy’s force was turned ont in aburry and formed, and Colonel Bailey, of New York, Casey’s Chief of Artillery, had the enemy’s line under bis fire before it had gotten through the first wood, and before the line was completely formed. ‘THE ARTILLERY. Spratt’s battery, which was posted in a field to the right of the road and near the edge of the wood, and Re. gan’s battery, which was also in the same feld, botween Spratt’s and the house B, got into action immediately, and were supported by the One Hundredth New York in the road to the left; by the Eleventh Maine and-One Hun- dred and Fourth Pensylvania on their right, and by the Ninoty-necond New York in the pear, Both batteries did splendid execution ; but the enemy's line advanced si- lently and steadily, receiving the fire with apparently perfect coolness, and firing in return with great effect, ‘BHR REBFLA ADVANCE IN FINE ORDER As the enemy’s line came into fire of our infantry, regiment after regiment gave % to them in finestyle; but still, though there was many ® gap in their lines, there was ne break. Fire after fire tore through their ranks, but could not break them, and our three regi- monts engaged at that point fell back, @ Hitie shaky, perhaps, but still in order, On THB FENCE. Sprait’s battery was composed of Napoleon guns Four hondred yards in front of the place where 1t was posted there was @ rather dificult raft fence, which the rebel line had to cross, As they came up te it the four Na- poleons played upon them fearfully with grape and canister. They could not pass the fence. Every time that they came ap to it the new discharge tore their lines asunder, mowed wide gaps through thetr forma tion, and held them there beyond the fence. They did not pass the fence until Spratt’s grape and canister were gone. He eould not be supplied again, for the wagons were beyond the @hickahormiay. Bo the rebels passed the fence, and Spratt, with his four Napoleons, fell back to the redoubt. ANOTHER BATTERY IN DANGER. Regan’s battery still maintained tte ferce fire, But now the enemy dressed bis line in the most perfect man- ner,amd came for that, Should be have afew more pisces? Not if fire oould prevent it, and the fire of the 4) ,Many stories of the exemy’sexhibition of flags of truce battery became warmer, while that of the four iafantry Tegiments that supported it was redoubled. But fire could not prevent it. General Casey saw that in spiteot what fire could do the battery was gone. A BAYONET CHARGE. ‘The old hero, cospicuous on his large gray horse and by his white hair, rode into the thickest of the fire, formed the four regiments—the Ninety-second and One Hondredth New York, the Eleventh Maine, and the One Hhundred and Fourth Penasyivania—into line, gave the word, and led the charge in person. Fire could not save the battery, but the bayonet did. Back went the rebel line, driven fairly out of existence. Plenty were behind, however, to take its place, and still the enemy came on. And now a new line appeared on the right flank of Casey's front, and the Regan’s battery and its supports fell back. Another attack came simultaneously on the left flank, held by the Ninety-eighth and Ninety-sixth New York, and they too retired, still in good order. IN THE REDOURT. Casey’s division was thus fairly driven into his frst line of defence, and the enemy advanced against that. In the redoubt, on the left, was Bates’ battery of six Pieces, which immediately began to put in reasons why it should net be taken. In support weve the Fighty- first and Eighty-fifth New York and the Kighty-fifth and One Hundred and First Pennsylvania. Fitch’s battery was posted to the right and im rear of the redoubt. Be- hind this line Casey’s other regiments now retired. ‘THE REARES STILL ADVANCE, ‘There was a silence of a few moments and the rebel line again began its terrible advance. Bates’ and Fitch's batteries bad already opened, and now also the four re- bel batteries did the same,and the rebel infantry and our own infantry, Never since this war began has there been heard a more terrible fusilade. At this time the left of the rebel line was formed of Jenkins’ Palmetto Sharpshooters (South Carolinians), the Sixth South Garo- hoa regiment and the Sixth North Carolina. A fair view of this line was obstructed by the abattis of fallen timbe™ Detween us and it; but we knew how steadily itcame on, for over the obstruction of branches and green leavrs we could see the light, faint fringe of smoke curl up from the continual file fire, and far above the smoke their white battle flag fluttered proudly out and showed how fast they came. THR RATILE FLAG. ‘This battle flag is daybjloss what has given rise to the im battle. It is asmall, square, white flag, with some- times @ regimental insignia upon the centre, and at others with a green cross charged with stars. It is light— as we know, having taking one—and just the thing to carry. THE REVELA STORM THE WORKS—OUR GUNS LOST. Well, the enemy renched the redoubt and the rifle pits and stormed both. Inthe redoubt was left Bates’ whole battery, and two of Spratt’s guns, because they conld not be taken away; but every gun was spiked. Out of one lot of one hundred and thirty-eight horses omy twenty-eight were left alive. GENERAL COUCH’S FORCES PREPARED YOR THe MGHT. Casey’s resistance was now pretty wel done witn. Hie batteries were all en rowe rearward, and majori- ty of his regiments were completely broken. But we mast not overlook what the gallant eld soldier bad al- ready really done, General Keyes had apparently nog been, from the very first, sanguine ot his ability to hold Casey's position, and had given his whole attention to nee that Couch’s line of battle, behind Casey, should be such as to hold the enemy and check him there at least. ‘Thus Casoy was thus far left alone, save some assistance rondored by the New York Sixty-secend, Fifty-fifth, and a regiment from Kearney’s division; but this assistance Tt was now half-past four. The attack began shortly after twelve o’clock, and the dattle was in full fury at two, Thus for three hours and abaif General Casey, with six thousand raw troops, had sustained the whole weight of the rebel onset—an onset made in forceat loast triple his own, and with the very oldest regiments of the Southern army. From Casey's front to the point of his Inst resistance it is not half a mile, and i had taken the enemy three ho 4 a half to advance that half mile, Thus Casey had stood in the way to seme purpose.

He bed lost many of his ing his gallamtand capable Chief Bailey, and now at last he was compelled, heart, to relinquish the umequal struggle. Let who are disposed te speak of how Casey gave way re member exactly what Casey did. BRINTZELMAN COMMAND. During the quiet that ensued {after the loss of Casey's last position General Heintzelman arrived upon the and assumed the command that had previously been hel: by General Keyes. covca’s pivmion. General Couch, upon whose command the enemy wat Rext to fall, bad upon the field parts of twelve regi- ments. The brigade;that contained his oldest troeps—~ General Devens’—had only the Seventh aud Teth Massa chusetts and the Thirty-sixth New Yerk on the field: and each of these regiments had three companies out om Picket. Peck’s brigade also, and Abercrombie’s (lately Graham’s) were beth weakened in the same way. But General Couch—modest, brave and Teady fer any emer. gecy—prepared to de his best. Upon the first intima: tion of the enemy’s advance, bis division was quickly turned out and posted. covcn’s Pesmnon. ‘Two lines of rifle pits, rather inadequate for the pore pose, had been constructed in advance of Couch’s camp; and in open flelds to either side of the main read, and ip front of the cross road. In the pits to the teh of the road the Fity-fifth New York and the Sixty-second New York had first been placed; but when they went ahead, the Massachusetts Tenth was placed behind the pits, with the Nimety-third and One Hundred and Second Pennsylvania on its left and rear in the weod. On the right, and @ little in rear of the Tenth, was posted battery ©, First Pennsylvania artillery, Captain McCarthy. In the pits to the right of the read, and nearest te the road; was the Thirty-sixth New York; tothe right of the Thirty-sixth the Seventh Massachusetts; in rear, and te the right of the Seventh, was Captain Miller’s battery of light twelve-pounders. Farthor te the right, in advance, and restingon the Nine Mile road, was the Twenty-third Pennsylvania, and behind it the First Long Island. The Thirty-first and Sixty-first Pennsylvania, and the First Chasseurs were also on the right, towards Fair Oak sta- tion. Brady's battery was in the same neighborheod, and Flood’s battery was placed behind the Nine Mile road, near to its junction with the main road. Such were the positions taken by the respective parts of Coush’s command. CUT TO PIECES. At twe o’clock the Williamsburg road was lined with astream of men on their way to the rear. Many were wounded, and they seemed to show their wounds as the explanation of why they went in that direction. Others were sick, and others again were the fragments of the broken regiments—the Hundred and Third, Hundred and Fourth, and other Pennsylvania regiments—for it is only simple justice to say that the Peunsylva- nians were in the majority in this stream. Casey’s division, however, was composed in a very large degree of Penasylvania troops. Generals Keyes and Couch both endeavored to arrest this rearward stream—at first by moral suasion, and subsequently by a guard. Lieuten- ant Eccleston, the efficient Provost Marshal of Couch’s division was posted in the road with his men, and did what could be done in the matter. This, however, s00n passed out of all thoughts. GENERAL KEYES. Our General, accompanied by his staff, rode to every part of the field, and did much by the example ef entire indifference to the enemy’s fire to inspirit the mea. COUCH ENGAGED. ‘It was a little mere than half-past four when the re" newed advance of the enemy brought them te Couch’s line. His line was not drawn exactly parallel to the enemy's advance, but was obliqued in such @ manner thas ite right became first engaged. Once more the woods werealive with fire. Gallant Colonel Neile, wh the ‘Twenty-third Pennsylvania, was first into it, and by his presence kept up the spirit of his men. His fire had been reserved until the ecemy were very near to him, and only six rounds had been discharged when his own men and the enemy’s were fairly fece to face. CHARGE OF THE TWEXTY-THIRD PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS— THE REBELS GIVE WAY. Then the gallant Colonel gave his men the word to charge, and went in ahead to show them how to do it. Again the cold steel was offered and again the men of the South refused it. They gave way and scattered before the Twonty-third, and the way was clear; but now Neile had the fire of the enemy upon his right and left, and began to suffer severely as he fell back to his place. Many of his men also had gone down in the charge, beside those that were hit—for it was over difficult growud—and as they came up again did not find their regiment. Thus the Twenty-third was weak- ened, but fell back fighting, and Colonel Neile with his colors and less than a hundred men fortued on the First Long Island, the next regiment to his line, STILL THE ENEMY CAMB ON, And in afow minutes later our whole right was in hot battle. There the fight seemed te have formed a nucletis, and supports were poured im. From the left the Ninety- qhird and One Hundred and Second Pennsylvania and the Sixty-second New York were hurried aeross, and a brigade of Kearney’s division—Birmey’s brigade— then on the railroad, was erdered to push abead and get into action at that point. ON THE LEFT. WB DANGEROO® POSITION OF THR TENTR MASSACRVGertS VOLUNTEERS. Meanwhile another misfortune happened on our left. From its place near the rifle pits the Massachusetts Tenth: was ordered into a piece of ground nearly surrounded with abattis and with the thick wood on its left, and the twe regiments which had supported its left—the Ninety- third and One Hundred and Second, Pennsylvania—were ordered te the right. Thus the Tenth was left in a bad place. and entirely without support. As the enemy ad- vanced firing, and torn by the fire of Fleod’s, McCarthy's and Miller’s batteries—for Miller, from: his side of the field, when he could not get a clear shot at the enemy im his front, threw his missiles clear across the field, an@ with awful effect too, as the enemy advanced under this fire, and the Teath became engaged in front, a body of the enemy made their way through the weods on its: flank, Lieutenant Eccleston (was the’ first to discover: this body, and rode desperately over the flela General Couch, that be might get an order for the Tenth to move, and so save it, But the gallant fellow’s exer. tions were vain, General Couch was in the thick of the struggle, on the right, too far away to be reached im time. Colonel Briggs was informed of the approach of this body; but as he knew the position that Péek’s regiments had held he deemed the report incredible, and went inte the woods tosee. He had not, far to ge. There they were, not only in the woods, but through it,ané ere an order could be given they delivered thetr fre fuli in the rear of the Tenth. UHRY HAD 70 GIVE WAY—BUT FORMED AGAiN. ‘ Utter confusion was the result. The regiment broke, Dut it proved itself to possess that power which Ree Deen denied to volunteers, and‘claimed as the especial attribate of old and so called “regular” seldiers, namely, the power of regeneration, J was raltied, and became once more a complete regiment, with only those out wi bodies lay upon the field. Nay, they did it a Four different times they wore broken on that day, and four different times the gallant Tenth was rallied and went back into the fight. Let some regular regiment beat thas. ‘THYT AGAIN GO FORWARD. Thus reformed the Tenth went back into the uifle pits to the left of the road. But the left now sested upen others. Kearney was in and at it.
