d 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 misfortune of defeat. They hurried on and came up at half-past 5 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. Col. Sully, was formed on the right of the Chasseurs, and Rickett's battery of Napoleon's to the left of the Thirty-first. All the rent of the division was formed on the line towards the railroad. The rebels again advance. Shortly after six o'clock the enemy advanced through the wood on the west, in what force cannot be said with certainty. Prisoners report it at eight thousand. As we caught two brigadiers, the numbers are perhaps not over-stated. Our batteries open fire with effort. As soon as the line of the enemy's advance was known, Rickett's battery o

that direction. Others were sick, and others again were the fragments of the broken regiments--103d, 104th, and other Pennsylvania regiments — for it is only simple justice to say that the Pennsylvanians were in the majority in this stream. Casey's division, however, was composed in a very large degree of Pennsylvania troops. Gens Keyes and Couch both endeavored to arrest this rearward stream — at first by moral session, but subsequently by a guard. Lieut. Eggleston, the efficient Provost Maes, eventually became the centre. The enemy reinforced and again advance After the brilliant fight of the 28d Pennsylvania, which we have described above, the enemy brought up a large reinforcement of fresh troops, and advanced again in the he Sixty-first Pennsylvania, were all killed Colonels McDartey, of the Ninety-third Pennsylvania, Rowley, of the 102d.

The temperature had been eighty-six in the shade. The railroad trains between this point and the battle field bring in our wounded soldiers.

o the right, in advance, and resting on 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 Statas weakened, but fell back, fighting, and Col. Neile, with his colors and less than a hundred men, formed on the First Long Island, the next regiment to his line. Still the enemy came on, And in a few minutes later, our whole right was in h Brady's battery (farther to the right) kept up a rapid fire. Soon the 36th New York, the 7th Massachusetts, the 1st, Long Island, the 1st Chasseurs, the 61st, 31st, 33d, and 102d Pennsylvania, the 62d New York, and the 10th Massachusetts, were alle-Mile road; but he had gained too much to give it up easily, and he tried again; and again our line gave way.

en Spurs;" for not only did the rank and file pour out life lavishly, but there have been but few battles so fatal to officers. Three brigadiers on our side, and two--to our knowledge — on the side of the enemy, were hit. Some brigades were left without a Colonel, and no brigade but lost one or more of its Colonels; no regiment but lost some field officer, and some had not a field officer left. Line officers, too, fell in great numbers, and this indicates that, however it may have been at Bull Run, our officers now know their duty and are ready to do it. The writer then goes on to describe the battle field and the position of the Federal troops, in the course of which he says: 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. Nor will it be far behind any other fight in respect to loss, as our own will amount to sight hu

Thus reformed, the 10th went back into the rifle pits to the left of the road. But the left now rested upon others. Kearney was in and at it. Berry's brigade, and a portion of Jameson's, now held the left, and the 10th was soon called across tout a 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

On Richardson's front, also, the fight dropped off very much as it had begun. It was apparently not the design that we should make any general advance on Sunday, so we merely drove the enemy away as he came up, and then fell into one places again with a true Sunday calm. The Losses. It was only nine A. M. when the calm came, but in this short fight much had been done. Howard a brigade alone lost in this fight, in killed and wounded, five hundred and thirty-six men. "little Napoleon." Gen. McClellan had ridden over very on Sunday morning, and when the fight began he immediately rode down the Williamsburg road; and over the whole scene of action which he directed. His presence excited the most intense enthusiasm in the troops, 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 fellows--"few and faint, but fearless still,"--the young Commander addressed

Gens Keyes and Couch both endeavored to arrest this rearward stream — at first by moral session, but subsequently by a guard. Lieut. Eggleston, 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, soon passed out of all thoughts. Couch engaged. It was a little more than half-past 4my in his front, threw his missiles clear across the field, and with awful effect, too, as the enemy advanced under this fire, and the Tenth became engaged in front, a body of the enemy made their way through the woods on his flank. Lieutenant Eggleston was the first to discover this body, and rode desperately over the field to find Gen Couch, that he might get an order for the Tenth to move, and so save it. But the gallant fellow's exertions were vain. Gen. Couch was in the thick of the

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 gained too much to give it up easily, and he tried again; and again our line gave way. The 1st Long Island broke; but two of Jameson's regiments — the 57th and 63d Pennsylvania--would have more than retrieved it. Col. Campbell, of the 57th, was soon down; but Col. Hayes, of the 63d by his heroic example and desperate endeavor, kept the men in their places, and inspired all around him with a noble emulation; yet the fire was fearful; the regiments seemed to melt. At this point it was that the brave Devens received his wound. Hardly a man remained mounted, for every horse was shot, and the regiments were thinned — thinned terribly; but a few brave men stood there for their country, and kept their places. Where was Birney?
