seemed deserted, the stores were closed, and if the bells had tolled solemnly I should have seen no impropriety in it. Many Union people came along with us, and negroes and negresses, children and youth, tottering old men and helpless babes, some on foot and some in wagons, were joining the promiscuous throng moving on to the safe side of the Potomac. Both towns, Williamsport and Hagerstown, are thronged with soldiers and refugees. Boston Traveller account. Williamsport, Md., May 28. That this army corps has been forced to retire with great rapidity, that it mourns the loss of many a brave soldier, and that it has sacrificed considerable army stores, is true. But that it has been attacked and utterly routed, as your enthusiastic Governor announces, is new to this locality. An overwhelming force has indeed cut up one regiment, the First Maryland, and has driven us to the Potomac; but our retreat was conducted in good order. A wagon-train of eight miles long lost o

A correspondent of the New-York World gives the following account of this fight: Huntingdon, Hanover County, Va., (Sixteen Miles North of Richmond,) Wednesday, May 28.

It became necessary to dispose of this force, as well as to cut the communications of the enemy by the Virginia Central and Ric

Point Railroad. Having been ordered by Gen. McClellan to hold the Seven Pines strongly, I designed to throw forward to that neighborhood two brigades of Casey's division, and to establish my picket-line considerably in advance, and far to the right. The lines described above are those upon which the main body of the troops engaged near the Seven Pines spent the night of the thirty-first after the battle. Examinations having been made by several engineers, I was ordered on the twenty-eighth of May to advance Casey's division to a point indicated by a large wood-pile and two houses, about three fourths of a mile beyond the Seven Pines, (but which, in fact is only half a mile,) and to establish Couch's division at the Seven Pines. Accordingly, Casey's division bivouacked on the right and left of the Williamsburgh road and wood-pile, and Couch established his division at the Seven Pines, and along theNine-mile road. Both divisions set to work with the few intrenching tools at
