Oil ;bs ggtb ult., about % o'clock p. m the Catawba Hangers received orders to report them solves at Grahamville, in half su hour, armed and equipped for action. All in caiup, except two or three who were unable lor duly, were soon in motion, and seldom, perhaps, did soldiers roll up blankets, saddle up horses, buckle on swords and revolvers, swing on double barrels, and han'g on canteens and haversacks, than was done at this time ; and ?tf?r the time appointed, we arrived at our post, completely armed and rquipped for the fray ? with the exception ol provisions?the most of us from the hasty preparation having only a few hard crackers. t Hut this was a matter of little consequence when the enemy was in less than two ( miles of the Hailroad. The Hangers were first upon the ground; designated for all the,Cavalry companies, around Graham vilTe, to assemble; but in a short time the other companies belonging to Maj. Stokes' Battalion came up, with the exception of . Capt; Caihoun, who was on picket. Two other companies, Capt. Howard's and the , Charleston Light'Dragoons, came, up and united with us. We all fell into line and were divided joto three Hqusdrons, and I between three and four o'clock, we were on the march, which we continued about sixteen miles, when we had arrived within a mile of Old Pocotaligo: Here we learned that the Kutledge Mounted Riflemen, and Capt. Nettle's company of cavairy fivd met, attacked and drove beck the enemy?supposed to he abudt fifteen hundred ? killing six and wounded several. The loss on our side being one killed, one taken prisoner and two severely wounded ; and that the enemy was on the retreat towards Port Royal Jferry ,thp place they had landsd. We, also, learned that the enemy had'tftm up the bridge across the stream just in f;o?;t "f ue, and we could proceed no farther the road we were "then traveling M?jS? Stokes reported our position lo Col.*Walker, who ' is now commander of this Military L>is; ' trict.

It wee now about 6 o'clock, aud the night darker then ueu I, fr?<in the btevy clouds pending over ue, wiiicb caused us to heve e very diea? greeebie travel. , Added to this, we had , to march some six miles further than 91berwiee we wou^J have dons,, if the bridge abovf referred to bad not beeff torn up, oear a rough end disagreeable, road.

Many of us had closed our eyes only a few min utes in sleep, when the sun commenced brightening up the earslern sky with bis rays, and *? were soon again ordered to mount. We formed in line as we had traveled the day previous, and just as the urigui luiuiuary 01 uay auoweu ins lace above the tope of ibe tree*, we were ready ' and wailing for tbe word inarch. fbe iufanlry company being in tbe rear, we ' awaited tbeir arrival.

The lose ou both etJee was heavy. The buttle was opened by the enemy making an attack ol General C.tsey's Division, encamped near Seven Pines, ou the turnpike leading over Bottom Bridge, ntiU wtthiu sev en miles of Richmond. The attack was made about 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon by General Hill's division, composed of five llrbel brigade* the troops being for tbe most pari Iroin Virginia, Soutb Carolina and Georgia.? The light here was disastrous. General Casey's troops were forced to retire before superior numbers, leaving all their camp equipage aud two batteries. Col. llailey in endeavoring to save liia batteries was killed. Some of the troops in this divii sion from New York anJ Pennsylvania behaved very bad')' Many of tbe officers were killed and wounded in endeavoring to rally their men. General Ileintxelnian, on ascertaining llie result, ordered forward a portion of the divitions of Generals Kearney *"d Hooker to regain the day.

[From the New Y..rk Tribune, (Kdilori.d,) June 'Jd ] IKK ItlVtMK ULVOHK RICHMOND. The news from llio hrmy before U cli inoiid, which we publiab lliia uioriiitig, though not disastrous, in not cheerful ? To be eurpfired again by a superior force, if not an evidence of a want ot careful generalship on our aide, in, at leatt, a proof that the enemy is ever vigilant, and never perinita an opportunity to ea cape when he may alrike an effectual blow. To a wary General, a dark night or a tuna of violent storm is the moment when be would be moat likely to attack an inferior force, cut off by a running stream and a swamp fiom immediate an asistance, It was such a moment that was chosen for the attack on Saturday, on a portion of Gen. MtCiellan's army on the Cbickabominy. The mistake seems to have been committed on our Aide?by no menus fur llie first time?of so placing our troops as to invite such an attack. That succor finally arrived, brought forward with great difficulty ; that the uncmy were at length repulst-d at the point of the bayonet , thai they renewed the attack liiu next day without success ; and that in all thase operations their loss probably was vary great, do not alter the fact that iso were at first beaten, with the loss of baggage and artillery ; that the ground was strewn with our dead and wounJed ; that nnly hv great exertion and the tjiost determined bravery, we were saved fiom a signal defeat ; illist one division was overwhelmed by superior numbers, and is convicted before the country, by the Commanding General, of went of bravery. We h?f?e tbat there ero ex'.eou ' sting circumstances, and that the event will show either that the surprise wee one which could not l>e foreseen end ; guarded against, or thnt Gen. Casey's division foughl as well as men could in their position : we nevertheless are com palled to acknowledge a reverse, with all its demoralising effects on one an J encouragement on the other. Why this happened time will show. The New York 7*?W? on the contrary, speaks of the battle as a victor? ; and McClellan, in his dispatch, modestly says of the fight on 8unday : "The enemy was every where repulsed." Ue admits, however, that the battle was a Sleeper Ate" one, with heavy loss oo both aide*. A telegram from Washington state*, on the authority of unoffical dispatches, first, that the battle foucht on Saturday and 8unday resulted in a victory fcr the Federal arms ; and secondly, and "the importance and dimensions of the victory increase as they are hourly developed." From Europe. The steamship City of New York, with European dates to the 22d of May, ar rived at Cape Kace on the 31st. The following telegraphic summary comes through the medium of the Northern Tress : The English journals continue to espa* liate on the retreat from Yorktown and the fall ol New Orleans. TlieTunes treats the retrial from York town as a great reverse to the Confederates, and saya if Richmond is captured it will be a tremendous victory to the United States. ^It metaphorically enlarges on tbu difficulties that must arisu in governing the South, when the United States, by continual victories, hare brought the Confederates within their power. The Daily News, says, alihougb the fell of New Orleans, in a military sense, cannot he overrated, it is of far greater importance m iis social, commercial and political results, as the possession of the Mississippi opens the way for the industrial energy of freed?>in, and altogether ilnltvvi the political position ar.d Urn tonal prestige of the Southern Confede racy. The great lerntoriea of the Weal are loat to lire slave confederation, and ibis alone is a tunable recompense for ail that bat been spent on tba war. It ta an i-n<>rm<<u* gain, not only (or tba Union, but for Kurope, humanity and ct?ilz?lH>n. it praises the North for conducting t irugg e at free citizens ought to do. lu another article the Liaily Newt deft ml* the financial policy of the North bum the caluinniea of its foe a. It taye the fiitmiici mI position furtiiehea a striking proof of the Constancy of a free people? the true wisdom of their ruler*, rel, injj | on that conttancy. Ttie Morning Herald ?ho*| gnunds under which, after the decia.on of e?anta at Corinth, New Orleans may be recap* lured. It regards the possession of New Orleans as of the most vital political and commercial importance to the South. The Morning 1'oet dunks the present i condition of alTair* eminently favorable , * for tfccting a compromise acceptable to ' both, but ftdmita that it will be no ea*y j task to reconcile the requirements of both. The Lverpool l\?et regards the war virtually at no end, atol looks for the proclamation of peace at any moment. j From Nomvolk ?We have learned from what we Coiiaider reliable authority (says the Richmond Kxamintr, of the 10th mat.) that since the lata battles be | fore Richmond, the Y*okee forces have been evacuating Norfolk, and Portsmouth, ai d destroying the public proper ty and works st those places, with a view j of reinforcing McCleiUn's army on the Chickahoiintiy.
