taken no part in the action, except firing at. long 
range, came up. Upon their arrival the cannona¬ 
ding was fiercely renewed. In a short time the 
Gen. Lovell was pierced by a large shot and sunk. 
The Little Rebel was soon afterward struck by a 
Federal shot, and started for the Arkansas shore. 
The Beauregard, nothing daunted by the disasters 
which had befallen the others, continued vigorously 
firing as she retreated toward the Point Two or 
three of the enemy's large boats closed upon her, 
pouring broadside after broadside, into her. She 
was struck several times, and raked fore and aft 
A Federal ram coming up, also dealt her a blow, 
when she suuk rapidly into deep water opposite 
Jackson's Mound. The remaining Confederate boats 
rapidly moved down the river. One of them was 
shortly afterward discovered in flames. Pursuit 
was made by one of the Federal boats, which 
shortly returned. The conclusion is that the re¬ 
mainder of the fleet shared the same late as (be 
others. The loss of life cannot be estimated with 
certainty. Numbers fell by the enemy's sharp¬ 
shooters. Great numbers went down in the sinking 
vessels. The loss to the enemy, other than the loss 
by the sinking ram. is not known. Their boats 
were altogether superior to ours in every respect. 
They therefore sustained a small loss, except in 
hand-to-hand encounters. The bluffs in front of 
the city were crowded with spectators during the

attention of his comrade. There was a silence for 
a moment, and then there Avas wafted across the air 
the music of that glorious anthem, “Old Hundred,’' 
in which it seemed ten thousand voices were par¬ 
ticipating. All of us immediately sought the open 
air. until the last note died away upon the ear. 
Never before have we heard anything so magnifi¬ 
cently grand as that same “Old Hundred,” sung by 
the *ddieis of the Union army on the plains of 
Vorktown. The air was made vocal with the music, 
and the woods around reverberated with the mighty 
strain. Beneath the canopy of Heaven the soldier 
gazed up into the star-light sky and sung unto God, 
“from whom all blessings flow,” an anthem that 
stirred in the heart of man the best and holiest 
emotions. The incident was a sublime one either

Flushed with their seeming victory of Saturday, 
the rebels awoke with confidence on Sunday to 
follow up their movements, sure of driving us this 
time to the Chickabominy and beyond. Bui they 
had made the unfortunate mistake of estimating 
the strength of our reserves by the weakness of our 
advance. Most bitterly did they pay for their mis¬ 
take. Pressing eagerly forward with confidence of 
victory, they were met by the trained troops of 
Heintzleman and Sumner, whose unyielding col¬ 
umns checked their fierce assault, turning the tide of 
battle everywhere against them, and forcing them 
at the point of the bayonet on toward Richmond. 
It was their turn now to break and run, and their 
losses of the Sabbath left them little cause for re¬ 
joicing over the trifling gain of Saturday. Terribly 
did the rebels suffer on this, as well as the previous 
day, from the well directed lire of our artillery, 
piling the ground with the slain. Terrible also to 
them were the frequent charges of our solid col- 
pressing them back step by step, to the last

in presence of its captain and at least one. other 
officer, at 11 o'clock at night, deliherntely voted in 
an organized meeting to send the arms and uniforms 
of the company to t he army of the Rebel General 
Beauregard, which vote was carried into effect, by 
sending to the rebels, substantially, all the arms, 
uniforms, and equipments in their armory. This

directed him to order his company to leave the city 
within twenty-four hours. To this he objected, say¬ 
ing, atnoug other things, that this would lie punish¬ 
ing the innocent with the guilty, a* there were some 
members absent at the time of the vote; that each 
soldier of the Guard owned Ids arms and uniform 
as private property, and it would be hard to compel 
those to leave the city who still retained their aims 
and uniforms, and {lid not concur in the vote. 1 
then modified the order, directing those to report to 
me who still retained their arms aud uniform® — alt 
others, having forfeited all rights of neutrality and 
hospitality, to leave the city within twenly-fbur 
hours, or I should have them arrested and sent to 
Fort Jackson, as dangerous and Inimical persons. 
These people thought it of consequence that Beau¬ 
regard should have sixty more uniforms and rifles. 
I thought it of the same consequence that he should 
hftvewxty more of these faithless men, who may till 
them if they choose. 1 intended this order to be 
strictly enforced. 1 am content for the present to 
Buffer open enemies to remain in the city of their 
nativity, but law-defying and treacherous alien ene¬

Mr. Coppell, in his rejoinder, claims that the ser¬ 
vices of the British Guard were In the nature of 
those of an armed police, and that some of the mem¬ 
bers left the armory ignorant of any such proposi¬

U. S, Ktkaver Benton, ore MEMPHIS, June 6. 1862. 
To Hon. Gideon WeJlcs, Secretary of the Nainj :— 
Sir: I arrived here last night at 9 o'clock, accom¬ 
panied by the mortar fleet under Corn. Maguader, 
the ordnance steamers, storeships, Ac. We an¬ 
chored :t mile and a half above the city. This 
morning I discovered the rebel licet, consisting of 
eight rams and gunboats, lying off the levee. Tbe 
engagement, which commenced at 5.30, terminated 
at 7 in a running fight, 1 was ably-supported bv 
the ram fleet under command of Cbm. Elletf, who 
was conspicuous for his gallantry, and is seriously 
hurt, but not dangerously wounded. The result of 
the action was the capture or destruction of seven 
vessels of the rebel fleet, ns follows: The Gen. 
Beauregard, blown up: the Gen. Sterling Price,one 
wheel carried away; the Jeff Thompson, set on fire 
by shell and burned, and magazine blown up; the 
Sumter, badly cut up by shot, but will be repaired; 
the Little Rebel, boiler exploded by shot and other¬ 
wise injured, but will be repaired. Besides this, 
one of the rebel boals was sunk in the early part of 
the action, name nut known. A bout, supposed to 
be the Van Dorn, escaped from the flotilla by her 
superior speed. The officer® and Crews of the rebel 
boats endeavored to take to the shore. Many of 
the wounded and prisoners are in our hands. The 
Mayor surrendered the city to me after the engage¬ 
ment. Col. Fitch came down at 10 o'clock, and has 
taken military possession. C. 11, Da aim,

Opposite Memphis Tenn., June 6. 
The rebel gunboats made a stand early this 
morning opposite Memphis, and opened a vigorous 
tire, which was returned with equal spirit. 1 
ordered my flag-ship to pass between the gunboats 
aud move 'dow n ahead of them upon the rums of 
the enemy. The rebel rams tried to buck down 
and turn and run, but Ihe movement was fatal to 
them. The Queen struck one of them and was for 
a few minutes fast. After separating, she sunk it. 
My vessel, the Queen, was theu struck by a rebel 
steamer, and though damaged, can be saved. A 
pistol shot wound in the leg deprived mo of the 
privilege of witnessing the tight. Tbe Monarch 
went gallantly into action. Sue struck the rebel 
boat that struck iny flag-ship, and sunk her. .She 
then struck the Beauregard, and sunk her; at the 
same time the Beauregard was struck in the boiler 
by a shot from one of our gunboats. The Monarch 
then started for the Little Rebel, flag-ship, and 
pushed her ashore, the rebel Commodore and crew 
escaping; She then took the Beauregard in tow 
till she sunk in shoal water. In compliance with 
the request of Commodore Davis, Col. Ellet dis¬ 
patched the Monarch and Switzerland in pursuit Of 
one remaining gunboat and a few transports which 
escaped, and t wo of my rams have gone below after 
them. I cannot too much praiso the conduct ul 
pilots, engineers, Ac,, of the Monarch and Queen, 
and the brave conduct, of Capt. Drydeu and ihe 
heroic conduct ol Lient.-Col. Ellet. 1 will name 
all parties in a special report. 1 am myself the 
ouly person disabled in tbe engagement. 
Cius. Ei.i.kt, Jr., Com, the River Fleet. 
After the return of our gunboats from the pursuit, 
Com. Davis sent, the following note to the Mayor of 
the city of Memphis: 
U. S. Fi.ag-Stkamkk Benton, ( 
Off Memphis, June 6, 1862. ( 
Sir: I have respectfully to request that you will 
surrender the city of Memphis to the authority of 
the United States, which 1 have the honor to repre¬ 
sent. 1 am, Mr. Mayor, with high respect. 
Your obedient servant, 
0. H. Davis, Flag-Oflicer. 
In ansAver. tbe Mayor says: 
Your note is received, and in reply I have only 
to say, as the civil authorities have no means of 
defense, by force of circumstances the city is in 
your hands. 
Immediately afterward one boat’s crew landed, 
and the national flag was hoisted over the Post 
Office. The party was followed by an excited 
crowd, but were not interfered with. The 43d and 
4(ith Indiana regiments now* occupy the place. Col. 
Fitch is in eomuiaud. The city Is quiet. No dem¬ 
onstrations whatever have been made. It is even 
asserted that it will not be necessary to declare 
martial law. Five of our gunboats hoav lie abreast 
ol' the city. AVe captured five largo steamers which 
were moored at the levee. The rebels burned a 
new gunboat which was nearly ready to be launched. 
In connection with the foregoing we give the 
rebel statement, as given in the Memphis Argus: 
Three shots were fired from the Confederate fleet 
before any reply was made by the Federal?, After 
the firing commenced, the shots for some time fell 
wide of the mark on both sides, Avhen, on the arrival 
of several more of the enemy's gunboats, Com. 
Montgomery ordered the fleet to fail back, xvliicb 
was done. Firing, however, was kept up vigor¬ 
ously. The Confederate fleet retired to opposite 
Bear street, but no longer in line of battle, when 
one of the Federal ranis shot ahead of the- rest of 
the fleet. The Beauregard prepared to receive her. 
After a contest of short duration, the Beauregard 
avoided the bluAv intended for her, and struck her 
adversary forward of the wheelhonse. The blow 
placed the Federal boat hors du combat. She 
hauled off and made for the Arkansas shore, Avhere 
she remained during the engagement. Meantime 
another Federal ram, the Monarch, came to her 
assistance. At first the Beauregard attempted to 
run her down, but missed her, and struck the Gen. 
Price on the wheelhonse, making a complete wreck 
of the boat, which made for the Arkansas shore and 
sank. A number of persons on board were killed 
and wounded by the enemy’s sharpshooters. At 
this period four Federal iron-clad boats, which had 
limns, 
point of endurance, when they broke and rah, inglo- 
riouely leaving behind them many of their men and 
officers, prisoners in our hands. The number of 
these it is not yet possible, to ascertain, several days 
necessarily elapsing after every engagement before 
a full inventory can be taken.

Soldiers of the Army of the Potomac: — I have 
fulfilled at least a part of my promises to you. You 
are now face to face w ith the rebels, who are now 
at hay in front ol the Capital. The final and deci¬ 
sive battle is at hand. Unless you lie lie your past 
history, the result cannot be for" a woment'doubiful. 
If the trosps who have labored so faithfully, and 
fought so gallantly at Vorktown, and who so bravely 
wou the hard fights at Williamsburg, AVost Point. 
Hanover Court House, and Fair Oaks, now prove 
Avorlhy of their antecedents, the victory is surely 
ours. The events of every day prove your superi¬ 
ority. Wherever you have met the enemy, you 
have beaten him. Wherever you have used the 
bayonet he lias given way in panic and disorder. 1 
ask of you now our last crowning effort The 
enemy has staked his all an the issue ot tfie coming 
battle. Let us meet him artel crush him here in the 
very center of the rebellion. 
.Soldiers: 1 will be with yon in this battle, and 
share its dangers with you. ‘ Our confidence in each 
otherOs now founded upon the past. Let us strike 
the blow Avhieh is to restore peace and union to this 
distracted land. Upon your ardor, discipline, aud 
mutual confidence, the result depends.

A reconnoissance made from Front Royal on the 
31st ult., discovered a large force of the enemy some 
six or seven miles on the Winchester road. Our 
troops opened on them and drove them some dis¬ 
tance. taking seven prisoners and one 11-pounder 
cannon, manufactured in Liverpool, in 1861, and 
twelve wagons, several horses and mules, and also 
recapturing six men of the 2d Maryland regiment.

The news Irom Gen. Shields’ Division states that 
a scouting party crossed the river at Columbian 
Bridge, on the 9lh, and went to New Market. They 
found that Jackson had retreated through there

about 5,000 men, the remainder having scattered 
through the mountains to save themselves, Gen. 
Fremont's army hud followed them all the way, 
capturing Avagons and supplies. 
Our navy has been unusually active during the 
week. We gather the following items of intelli¬ 
gence; 
Commander L. C. Rowan, in command of the 
naval force in the waters of North Carolina, reports 
to the Navy Department that ou the 18th ult., Lieut. 
Colburn, of the Hunchback, in company Avith the 
Shawsun, ascended the Mehisim river about twelve 
miles, to a point where he found a deserted battery 
and earthworks with live embrasures. The river 
above was obstructed by sunken schooners, trees, 
&c. On his return he captured iu a small cieek the 
schooner J H. Smoot, 30 tuns. Ou the l'Jth ult,, 
accompanied by Whitehead,he ascended the Chowan 
river, destroying Fort Hilliard, which is situated 
about 300 yards below the mouth of the Blackwater. 
Alter removing A'arious obstructions in the river, he 
proceeded up the Blackwater about two miles, 
Avhere he found three schooners sunk. Ou the 20th, 
in Bennett's Creek, ho captured the Eugenia, of 
about SO tuns. The next day he captured the 
steamer AVinter Shrub, loaded with 300 bids, of 
shad and herring. It avus Lieut. Colburn's inten¬ 
tion ou the next, day to go up the Cliowan river, 
eludmg tbe barracks, and make a clear passage of 
the Blackwater. 
The English iron steamer Cambria, captured by 
.the gunboat Huron, after a chase of five hours off 
Charleston, arrived at Philadelphia on the 2d inst. 
She hails from Carlisle, and sailed from Liverpool 
for Nassau and ihence for Charleston, and was cap¬ 
tured while attempting to run the blockade. The 
cargo consists of'liquors, clothes, medicines, Enfield 
rifles, Ac. 
Philadelphia, June 7— The U. S. gunboat Bien¬
