Our Special Army Correspondence In Faowe or Rionwonp, Sune 26, 1802, Wednesday , June 25, was signalized by avother glorious “struggle between the rebels and the Union troops, in * which the latter were twice victorious, About six Shousand of our mon on that day encountered two di- ‘Visions of the rebel army a short distance beyond Fair Oake,and drove them back amile, By a remarkable Diunder, we relinquished ali tho ground gained as s00n @s we bad obtaiued possession of it, and then, when the error was sifted and undorstood, our gallant lads went at it again, and corrected the mistake.

Ours will perhaps reach the neighborhood of cighty killed and less than two hundred wounded. ovr onsecr. It should be clearly understood what this particular ight wasfor. I was nol an interruption of owr march to Richmond, in which, as might be supposed, the rebols threw thomsclyes im our way and stopped us ata mile from our original line. It was afight for a position—a Getermined straggle for a piece of ground which it was @eomod necesgary that we should “have and hold.” This Piece of ground is barely @ mile beyond our former Nine, and we have it, and hold it, for what purpose it in proba- diy contraband to atate. TDR FELD, It will be remembered that the field on which the bat- We of Fair Ouks or Seven Pines was fought is bounded on the side towards Richmond by a line of woods, This ‘Wood extends on either side of the Williamsburg road for ® milo, and beyond it ig a piece of open country. Our outer pickets have been hitherto posted in that edgeot the wood which is furthest from the sacred city, and the line of revel’ pickots was drawn only @ little further in the woods, and so near to our line that the mon could talk fooneanother, Itappeared to be well understood that any further adyante ca.ourpart wonid bring on n general engagement; and jn chat view oar ling was kept station. ery. But finally it was dévmei nevessary that our Piokets should be posted at the otbor edge of the wood, WHAT THe ORDERS WhRR, Accordingly Gensral Beintvelman wes ordered to ad- vanes the pickets on his front to the point wamod, and to advance the pickets on his left ina Hue with those in front. At eaven A, M., therefore, the grealor part of his ‘two divisions was inline and ready for action; bay the Qdvaneo was not made by se iarge a force. ‘WHO yoUGuT THE MaTTLE, ‘Two brigades of Hooker's division—Grover’s and Bidhiea'—did nearly all the work, though some other bri- gates wore slightly engaged before the day was ever. Shekieo’ brigade ia composed of the five ‘Excolsior regi- ments”’—the Seventieth, Sevonty-frst, Seventy-second, Seventy-third and Seveuty-fourth New York. This gal- Jeat body of men has lost 0 heavily in previous battles Qad by iiiness that it mustered for Wednesday’s fight ‘ealy fourteen hundred men, Grover’s brigade is oom- posed of the First Massachusetts, Colonel Cowdin; the New Hampshire, Colonel Gilman Marston; the ‘Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania, temporarily commanded by Léeutenant Colonel Wells, of the First Massachusetts ; the Massachusetts Eleventh, Colonel William Blaisdell, and the Massachusetts Sixteenth, Colonel Wyman. This Drigade mustered about four thousand men for duty. ‘THY ORDER OF OUK ADVANCH. At a littic before eight A. M. the word was given, and Ghose two brigades moved forward. Sickies’ line was formed across the Williamsburg road, and be advanced in the direction of that thoroughfare, his Second regiment on Ale right, the Fourth next to it, aud both these regimonte om the right of the Williamsburg road. To the ieft of the road, in the order in which they are named, the Pith, First and Third were formed. Sickles’ Jef stictched about three hundred yards to the left of the read, Grover’s line joined on to Sickles’ left, and was formed of tho First Massachusetts on the right and tio Edeyoath Maseachusctis on the Weft. His other regiments ‘were at hand, ready for use anywhere. Both brigades “@dyauced in lino of battle, with skirmishers out iu front. THK WEATNER. Nevor was there a day better Mited fora fight. Two or throo tompest-like showers in the fow days previous Geemed to have washed ali that was disagreeable out of Virginia, Naturo, and the cool fresh air, filled our Rorthern lungs with life. It was just cloudy enough, too, ‘vo temper the sun’s heat without making it a duil day, nd there was just breeze enough to Jift tho smoke. As the iine moved out agross the field that lay between the Polat whore they had boom drawn up aud the wood, ti Presouted a beautiful epectacie. The light blus of the ‘Uniforms contrasted with the brilliant green of the eld; the light rotlecved from the gun barreis in @ silvery @heen, and shelr glorious staudards biewn out in the Breeze, gave the w! scene tbe gayeiy and show of Fourth chihone, UNDER FIRE THR DUPMICULIRS OF THR MARCH. Tra few moments the whole line dixappesred in the woods, Elcklon’ part of it more slowly than the other; for the left of his line bad to move through an abatis Ghat was very diMoult, and wes thus detained, Through tis moans, also, the regularity of hia line was broken, ‘ead it did not get into action so son.

Maued for only a few momente--rattiod rapidly ones, twice, tlirice up and down the line, aud was over—and Grover went on, The enemy's outer line was driven ta, Gowly and cautiously the advance was continued. GROVER GOMS ON WELL, ‘Whee the pickets were driven in, they formed on the Piaket reserve some distance in their rear, and after Gome little delay, with dificult ground and necessary cau- on, Grover’s skirmishers care upon their second line. Mey disputed the ground tenaciously, Nearly all their front appeared to be heid by North Carolina troops, whom we bavefuund to be by far the best and bravest troops of the Southern confederacy. These gallant fol- lowe stood to toolr posts and kept up 4 rapid aud accu- vate fire that galled our Jina severely, until they were ‘eirly driven back in rout by Grover's steady advance. ‘ie REEMY'S MAIN HODY. ‘The stout revistance of these pickots gave ample tine Woaged, and which is made op in great part of North Cars fine troops, This division, supported by the division of Beneral Huger, now advanced to mest our line, and in a Viths whlie the ball was fairly opened, Ho rapid waa the ‘tattle of the fire at (his time that the Bound seemed to be Without coats iou—without pause or luterval—one cun- qounded men now began to find their way to the rear— } pome ou stretchers, ouors leaning On the shoulders of » | pemrade, aud others again, with & Brave pride, detor- _ Mined t) Letp themselves and ‘go It alone.” ‘ THY BRADQUAREEAS vero estab lichod in thie open (eld near to Falr Quits, aud | Mero Geue-al \Lointelmany yory quietly and with a very Business like air, Hhauyie the doubsrnt b where te fags.” ‘The two NouseR wt Lat point wore noed AB home Gale, aad Wadmdure oF the Wounded Were laid pp the for the formation of Hill's division, t which they be. | Vnuows rattle of rites, This Gre was very Gere, and | ' \ | & | ® ground in the oak grove that gives name to the locality.

ON SIOKLHRS? FRONT. Genera! Sickies, for the reasons we have given, did Rot become engaged as e00n as General Grover, and when the very heavy fire}was heard on the latter’s front the Ex- oeisior Brigade wag still ouly under the irregular picket fire of the enemy’s outer line, By degrees, as they ad” vanced, this fire became hotter, until it broke {ato the rattle of several thousands of rifles—a fire fully as intense and severe as that on the left. Ow Sickles’ front it was Straightforward work. He had only to keep his men up to it and push on; and this was well and gallantly dove. HOTTRR AND HOTTER OM THR LEFT. When Grover advanced his line it was understood that Kearney’s line, which joined Hooker’s at that point, was to have been advanced also; but, as it did not keep up, Grover’s position became dangerous just in proportion to his apparent success; for his flank was left oxposed to the attack of the rebels, who filled the woods in front of Kearney. To guard/against mishaps in thet quarter, and to establish the connedtiva. with Kearney, he surew out ‘on his je‘t five companies of Lhe Massachusetts Sixtcenth, which regiment was held in reserve, At about the same time, as the fire coutinued terribly severe in front, be placed a battalion of the New ilampshire Second on his extreme right, to strengthen his connection with Sickles’ Jeft, aud placed the reruaiuder of the same regiment be- tween the Massachusetts First and Eleventh, where there was some appsarance of weakness, Thus strengihened jo front, ana provided against aitack on his flauk, he went on, KRARNKY’ LINE COMBA UP, Berry’s brigade roon began, ho*tever, to push forward on Grovor’s left, arove tho enemy-rapiily and easily be- fore it, and advanced until tbey compleied the line from Grover’s loft, Robinson’s brigade (Jate Jameson's) was subsequently pushed in belween Berry's aud Grover’s, and continued the movement. But the easy was not at any time in groat forvw beyond Grover’s Jeft, so that the fight in that directioa was nui severe. At A STAND STILL, At half-past nine our line was brought to a stand-still. It wag evident that the enemy was in great force along the whole line. Near thut hour the Fifth New Jersey Was sent out as@ reserve to Sickles, the Second New York to reinforce his advance, and a regiment of Sodg- wick’s divieion, The Nineteomth Massachusetts was pushed in on his right, 89 as to exten’ hislineto the rajivoad, Still, with occasional intermissions of compa- rative quiet, the fire raged aiong tle whole front of the two devoted brigades, and seemed oven to rage with In- denser furyas it approached the road on which the Ex- colsior Brigade had advanced. § STUNLORN AND STRADY, Doring this hard-fongbt hour oar mon had not fiiucted Atel, Every one toed the mark rewslttaly, ready to do what ho came for, There was sot ® straggler to be geen, and those even who helped the wounded off ths field helped thom only to where they coald get better help, and then went back. Glorivusly does the conduct of these two brivades speak the praise of those gallant oilicers who Lave made them soldiers and filied them With the scidior's spirit, aad especially does their good conduct op (his day redound to the honor of that nobie old veteran, (ieneral Hooker. TUK REVKLY CAN'T STAND IT, ‘Steady purpose prevails. When the rebels found that our boys were not going to give way under any cir- cumstances they concluded to give way them- selves. Their dimpositition to do so first apprared’ in front of Grover. It was hailed witha hearty chee by our boys, whe pushed ahoad, and, uow that the ma chine was fairly started; went on with a*rusl. Inafew minutes they broke out into the open field, ard the object was so far gained at that point. A battery was rent down te Kearney to play on the enemy's fank and chell the masnes ip rotreat. NOT BATISVIRD YET. Grover was not, however, permitted to hoki the ground he had gained in quiet. An attempt was made to Gislodge him by @ body sent to reinforee those previously @riven out. A bard fight ensued, and the attempt was repulsed. BIRNEY’'S BRIGADE REINFORCES BICKLES. But while the enemy were thus driven on the left the right did not get along se weil. There the enemy’s whole available force seemed concentrated in one endeavor to bear down the gallant Excelsior Hrigade. Reinforce- ments were ordered there immediately, ana Birasy’s brigade went up the Williamsburg road at tho double quick, As these regiments filed on, cheerod by those tney passed, a chorus of respousive cheers arose from Grover’s brave fellows a of on the left, as they drove the enemy before them. Sickles’ boys took it up in tura and wade a stouter push at the foe. Everybody seemed exhilarated at the sound, Orderly after orderly rushed in to tell how Grover was driving shem, avd others to say that Sickles could hold bis ground till Bir- ney could reach him, THS ORDER TU KETIRR—WEAT VID 17 MEAN? Victory sat upou our banners. We had the evany fairly started, and could have driven ita any distance, Jost at this exeiting juncture the order was rocetved from general headquariers to “withdraw grat the original lino.? ‘They aloue who know how bri! the feet dawn of viewry beams upon the batiie can appreciate (le gloom this order cess on every Dut it had to be obeyad, aud was disseminated. hard yo credit the news from the tongues of aide or orderlies; but it was soon veriGed, and the nen were withdrawn, They all believed that wo were boaten on some vier part of the line, and that we had gone too far ahead for wafety, and ai revired in good order and tovkk up che lige in the edge of the wood nearest to camp. ‘Thie was at about half past eleven A.M OENRRAL MCLELLAN'S ARRIVAL.

We warens SW ENG RYE WRIGHTS DIVISION bes cuurcn we REFERENCES SW p= UNION TRD0PS WRLBEBEL TAVIS Sketch of Secessionville and Vicinity. Secersionville ia a emall village, the summer retreat of a fow of the James Isiand planters, It is on the eastern ‘side of the istand, on a high pict of land, lying on a bold creek, which winds through the marshes between James ‘and Morris (or Folly) islands, and empties into the Stovo river near its mouth. The creek runs mmediately up to Scoessionville, On the west of the village, a short, shallow creek makes its way toward the waters of the Charles- tou Bay. Thus a tongue of land is formed betwoen the two crecks. It is connected with the body of the isiand by narrow neck of thirty yards within some four or five hundred yards south of Secessionville. Here Lamar’s battery was located across the bfgh land, and flanked on each shle by marsh and the creeks. It was an carthwork, heavily constructed, having a plain face, with an obtuse angle on cach side,and faced south, in the direction of Battery Island, Legare’s, Roese’s and Gunbail’s plantations, on the Stono river, which is about two miles off. From this point the cleared high land stretches out to the Stono river, like the top of a funnel, to the distance of near a mile, interrupted onJy by the division lines between flelds, hedges and ditches. These folds are covere with weeds three foot high. The edges—of high land and marsh—are skirted with brushwood and sea myths. In the background are patches of wood between the fields and the Stono. [See Eighth Page for Account of the Battle Near Secessionville, S. C., June 16, 1962.) ‘and into his camp beyond. This is always a perilous attempt. Shells eithor fat falee, or the distance is mis- calculated, and misfortune ensues. So it did jn this case, Several of Captain Osborn’s shells fell false, and exploded in the rear and even right in the ranks of our men, By this meaus the Massachusetts Seveuth, which was deployed in the woods as skirmishers, lost reveral men, and by one of these shell Fieutonant Bullock, of that regiment, received a wound which will doubtless prove fatal. This fre was immediately stopped.
