No sooner had the rebels, by that volley, emptied their guns, than the three regiments that had been lying down arose to their feet and poured a volley in at almost no distance at all. That volley settled that fight. Through the wood in front of that line the rebels lay dead and wounded in heaps. Brigadier-General A. C. Davis was found dead there, and Brigadier-General Pettigrew, wounded and his horse killed, was there taken prisoner.--When the rebel line advanced in the wood, Gorman's brigade, from the line of battle on the railroad, was thrown forward on the right flank of the rebel line to turn it; but when the musketry broke that line, and the rebels fell into confusion, the brigade pressed forward, and so cut off and drove in a large number of prisoners. Close of the First day's fight. So closed the battle for that day, and Gen. Couch, than

This morning the enemy attempted to renew the conflict, but was everywhere repulsed. We have taken many prisoners, among whom are Gen. Pettigrew and Col. Loring. Our loss is heavy; but that of the enemy must be enormous. With the exception of Casey's division, our men behaved splendidly. Several fin

n the battle of "Seven Pines" To the Editors of the Dispatch: In your issue of the 11th instant, there appeared a brief notice of the part taken by General Pettigrew's brigade in the battle of the "Seven Pines," near the Chickahominy. I regretted when I read the article that the writer passed over the gallant conduct of ell at the hands of the Republic is the tribute due to all the troops engaged in the battle of Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday morning, the 31st of May, Gen. Pettigrew, with his brigade, composed of the 35th and 49th Georgia, 22d North Carolina, 47th Virginia, and 2d Arkansas battalion, left the encampment between the Meadow. While occupying this position, the regiment was exposed to a fierce and destructive cross fire from the enemy. Under this fire fell the gallant and noble General Pettigrew, in the woods fronting the battery, while urging on the troops to take the battery. Near him fell the young and gifted Lieut. Colonel of the 35th, Gustavas

newed only by the powers of memory. March worn and weather-beaten, their drooping spirits were suddenly aroused, when the clarion notes of war resounded, and Gen. Pettigrew called on his brigade to meet the summons, with all the spirit and chivalry of the South! Then front to front the two armies stood, the carnage-covered fieldand the position was such as to give him full play upon our advancing columns. Thus was our brigade very much cut up, even before we could get into action. General Pettigrew made the attack about 5 o'clock, and although we were called upon to stand the most galling fire, night came on and found us charging desperately. The Arkanr Bronaugh was found heroically at his post, with but twelve men, whom he had rallied in the hottest of the fight. The whole brigade mourn the loss of our noble Pettigrew; all unite in asserting that but few can fill his place. As our number is greatly reduced, it is supposed that we shall be thrown into another command, which we

The Charleston Mercury says that in a private letter received in Charleston from Baltimore, of the date of June 19th, the following information concerning Gen. Pettigrew is given: I wrote you of General Pettigrew being here, wounded and a prisoner. He was on parole, and we hoped would be allowed to remain with us until he had recovered; but the examining Surgeons have pronounced him in a state to admitGeneral Pettigrew being here, wounded and a prisoner. He was on parole, and we hoped would be allowed to remain with us until he had recovered; but the examining Surgeons have pronounced him in a state to admit of removal, and he is to be taken off to-day to Fort Delaware. It is a piece of inhuman tyranny. He is still very feeble. His right arm is paralyzed by his wound, and several physicians here have remonstrated professionally against his being taken from the aid of his friends. In his helplessness they have even refused him a servant. The truth is, that in this rebellions town he is an object of too much attention, and receives too many tokens of sympathy and regard. Their hatred and fear

Major General Smith's division moved forward at o'clock — Whiting's three brigade . their progress was by the enemies which, with their supports, were back to the railroad. At this point, Whiting's own, and Pettigrew's brigade, engaged a superior force of the enemy. Hoods, by my order moved on cooperate with Longstreet. Gen. Smith was desired to hasten up with all the troops within reach. He brought up Hampton's and Hatton's brigades in a few minutes. the strength of the enemy's position, however, enabled him to hold it until dark. about subset being struck from my horse severely wounded by a fragment of a shell, I was carried from the field, and Major-General G.

French, prohibiting the sale of ardent spirits in Petersburg and for a space of ten miles around it, was not binding upon citizens, in as much as Petersburg is not a military camp, and a commanding officer has authority to establish such a regulation only over his camp. 4. That there was no distraction between the case of Crowder, who sold liquor in Petersburg to soldiers, and Wilkinson, who sold liquor in Petersburg to others than soldiers — both Crowder and Wilkinson being civilians, in no way connected with the army. 5. That Browder, who sold liquor to soldiers in the camp of Gen. Pettigrew was lawfully arrested, though he could not be tried by Court-Martial. 6. That Wilkinson and Crowder, having violated the law of the State, should enter into bonds to be of good behavior, and to answer indictments before the Hustings Court.
