Richard H Anderson And His Brigade ?Interesting Presentation Headquarters Second ISkioads, ) Lonustkkei's Division, V ,Camp near Richmond, June 24, 16C2 ) To the Editor of the Richmond Exanii tier : Sir : The Second Brigade, Longslreei's Division, composed cf the First "Palmetto Sharpshooters," Fifth and Sixth South Carolina volunteers, Mattison's South Carolina battalion, and the gallant Lou isiaua battalion, couceived the laudable puipose of presenting to General II 11. Anderson some testimonial of its appreciation of bis services as our brigade commander. A war borso was cboscn as tho most befllting gift. On Saturday, 22d instant, tbc brigade was drawn up by Colonel Jenkins, Palmetto Shaip: hooters, when Captain J. D. Wt lie, Company A, Fifth Sruth Carolina volunteers, delivered the g ft to our good and noble general, in a style that reflected credit upon himsell and spoke the feelings of the entire brig ade. Enclosed you have his speech and that of Gen. Anderson, which speuk for them elves. We regretted very much the absence of our gallHnt Louisiana comrades. A recent o;der having transferred them to another command, it was impossible to have them present. The Second South Carolina Rifles, Col. Moore, tecently a* signed to our brigade, greeted us with their presence as invited guests. The occurrence of Saturday being one of those little incidents which break the monotony of camp life, we hope you may give its imperfect recital a place in your columns, that the "loved otxs at 1011)6" may see that we are still alive and merry. Very respectfully, "Committer." General : I have the honor on this* occasion, as the representative of the odli cers and men of the Fifth arid Sixth South Carolinn regiments, Jenkins' regiment of l'almeito Sharpshooters, Mailt son's battalion of South Carolinians, and our late gallant comrades, St. l'aul'? battalion of Louisianians, for the purpose of presenting you with a slight teslitno nial of the high esteem which we enter ,tain for you, and the unlimited conli dence we repose in you as our brigade commander. Tlte lib, General, which binds you to this brigade is certainly of no ordinary character ; you, like most of us, were bcrn and reared upon the sacred soil of South Carolina, and glory iu the proud distinction of being a South Carolinian ; you, like all of us, Carolinians, Louismn ians, are now perilling life and fortune to vindicate South Carolina's glorious ordi nance of December 20, 1800. We are all alike?Southern patriots?struggling for independence, lighting in a common cause for n common country, and for all that makes life desirable or even endurable. These causes alone are sufficient to ea iablish a peculiarly strong relationship between us, but it does not account for (hat ationg and heartfelt attachment for you which animates the breast of every ^ (th?M?oo? whictt sifiMI Jfff ftUkft to CsfOliuiHiit and " ,'<r">?y-*. v*'- V v.-' ,r _ . 4?l .-. .. " ^ jHr' 1 with us ns brigade commander for nearly six months. You have been in our midst ! in all the stirring events of ibis most I eventful campaign. You have shared ' | with us our joys r.nd our sorrows, and partaken aiike of our privations, our halt'- j ships and our dangers. Upon (he bleak ! hi lis of Centreville, and under the brow ! 1 of the rugged mountains, you have pa 1 j tiently borne with us the chilling blasts of a Virginia winter. You have accom- j I pauied us on all our long and fatiguing ( inarches and countermarches throughout ' this State. You have slept with us in | the swampy bivouacs of the Peninsula,! ! and last, but not least, you have stood I ?lit. ... .t - -t L -t i ?tim us in me shuck 01 oaiue , you wore ; in our midst on the field of Williamsburg, ' animating the troops with your own cool I and dauntless courage ! you were with j j us in the sanguinary conflict of the Seven j Pines, and slept w ith us, after the hard- j ! fought day, on the bloody field, in the i deseited camps of the enemy, far In advance of any other Confederate troops ; and the brief, but ever memorable coin- I rnand, "Forward, Forward?1 hare but one command, and that is?Forward,'' j with which you led u.s on that bloody J day against brigade after brigade of the | enemy, never yielding an inch of ground j one occupied, and driving the insolent in | rnder everywhere before us, is still ringing iu our ears ; and wu trust, General, | that, under your leadership in any future field, we will make the same response to that glorious ordor that we made at the Seven Pines. Your intercourse with us ns brigade commander bus afforded a most striking illustration of the fact that a man uiay be an officer?faithfully discharge all the duties of his office, difficult and harassing as they ollen are?and yet at the ssmo time be n gentleman. x* ... lour comma in tlie camp, on the march, and in the held, has won for you liio confidence auJ esteem of the troops under your command ; and we have de tired your presence on this occasion lo present you with an humble testimonial of that confidence and esteem. 'Tis true, we have no golden medal, no cross or decoration with which to invest you, hut we have what we consider a more appro* prialo gift?one, at least, which will be*, ter indicate the opinion which we entertain of our Warrior General. It is this war horse, equipped and ready for the field. Accept it, General, as n slight to ken of the elevated esteem, the unlimited confidence and the deep attachment of the troops of your brigade?and rest assured that so long as there lives a mem her of this command, the name, charac ter and services of Richard 11. Anderson will never be forgotleu. Soldiers of South Carolina and Louisi ana : Comrades : Your kind gift is accepted with emotiona of pleasure and gratituue. to which 1 feel that 1 can give but very imperfect utterance. The graceful and (littering terms in which it has been presented are bolii | pleasing and embarrassing. My unpractised tongue cannot express the feelings | which fill my heart. The possession o( (Lis beautiful horse would be, under any circumstances, a j source of the highest gratification ; but, ! derived as it is, froui your friendly and j generous feelings towards me, it is of in j Calculable value. Our association in the present grand j struirglo for independence bas not been j of great duration, but the scenes lliiough j which we have passed have been such as ; j leave upon the mind the most indelible impressions, and excite in the heart the warmest feelings of companionship. I recall with the sincerest pride and ! ! gratification the titles which you have to my esteem and regard ? your cheerful obedience, your patient endurance and | your unflinching fortitude. In the (oil ! soine marches?in the pelting storins of snow and rain?In the privations and exposures of the earlier part of the cam 1 paign, I saw exhibited by you that spirit of indomitable resolution which bas reI cenlly carried you triumphantly through j bloody fields of battle. Your patience , was a guarantee of your valor. You j have made sacrifices without cotnp'airiing you have rushed into unequal conflicts without faltering, and you have won vie ; lontl wunoui Donating.

Let such reflections as these cheer and strengthen you whenever you encounter renewed hardships and dangers, lie- 1 member that, although you may not have at present an agreeable appreciation ol the scenes and events which Hre passing, and of which each one of you is himself' a pait, you nre, nevertheless, laying up | for yourselves treasures of memory, which you will not hereafter exchange for , wealth or for honors, or for any consider ations whatever.

The Battle on Monday. We take the following froiu the Mich | tnond Examiner, 30th. To give our readers an intelligent aitd | reliable statement of the great battle of | Monday evening between the Cbicka- I hominy and James Kiver, we mn-l ad t vert to the situation in which the other ' great fight of Friday last fouud the op- ! posing forces. It will bo recollected that, after bis de- I feat at Cold Harbor, (lie enemy retreated J to the Richmond s-do of the Cbitkahomi ny, and, leaving his fortified camp on the j south side of this river, continued his re , treat towards the James. During Sal : urday ami Sunday our forces were busily i employed in "feeling" for the fugitive enemy. On Sunday morning the divis | ions of Generals liill an 1 L<?ng?treet ; crossed the Cbickahominy, and were, du i ring t!ie whole of the day, moving in the j | hunt for the enemy. The disposition ' I which was made of our forces brought ! j General Longstreet on I lie enemy's front. ! immediately supported by Genera! Hill's j division, consisting of s x brigades. Tiie ! forces commanded by General Long street were his old division, cons-sting of! six brigades. About four o'clock Monday afternoon, General Longstreet having been called j away, the command of Ins division was I assumed by Genera! A. lb Hdi, who, with both divisions?that of Longstreet j | and bis own?engaged the enemy at a ' ! I iter hour in the evening. The battle was thus fought under the ' immediate and so'.e command of General j A. I'. Hill, in charge <>f both divisions.? J The position of the enemy was about five miles northeast of Darby tow n, on the New- Market road. The immediate scene i I of the battle was a plain of sedge pines, ' n the cover of which the enemy's forces ' were skiifully- disposed. Id advancing upon the enemy, baiters I tes of sixteen heavy guns were opened [ upon the advance coluins of Gen. Hill.? Our troops pressing heroically forward, had no sooner got within musket range, ' than the enemy, forming se- eral lines of i battle, poured upon them from his heavy masses a devouring fire of musketry. The conflict became terrible ; the air being finled with missiles of death, every mo ; merit having ila peculiar sound of terror, and every spol it sight of ghastly des ' auction and horror. It is impossible that in any of lliu series of engage merits which have taken place within the past few days ; and have tracked the lints of Richmond with fire and destiuction, j there could have been moro desperate lighting on the part of our troops Never was a more glorious victory plucked from more desperate and threatening circum- 1 stances. While exposed to the double ? lire of the enemy's l atteries and Ins inus ketry we were unable to contend with 1 him with artillery. Hut, although thus unmatched, the heroic command of Gen oral lltll piesscd on with unquailing vigor and a resistless courage, driving the enemy before theni. This was accomplished without artillery, there l>eing but one battery in General Hill's command on the spot, and that belonged to Longstreet's division, and could not be got into position. Thus the fight continued * with an ardor and devotion that few hattie fields have ever illustrated. Step b> step the enemy were driven ha. k, hie pune taken, and ilia ground be abandoned etrewn with bie dead. My half paei eiglil o'clock we bad taken all bie cannon, and, continuing to advance, bad driven him a mile and a balf from hie ground of bailie. Our forces were eiill advancing upcn the retreating lines of lbs enemy. It M w was about half past nine o'clock, and ' very dark. Suddenly, as if it liad l>urst i from the heavens, a sheet of fire envel I oped the front of our advance. The eno | my had made another stand to receive us, and front the black masses of his for- I ces, it was evident that it had been heavi ! ily reinforced, and that another whole I corps d'armec hail been brought up to j contest the foriunes of the night. Line ] s | after line of battle was formed. It was | evident that his heaviest columns were J . now being thrown against Hill's small j command, a no it might have been sup posed that he would only be satisfied with its annihilation. The loss here on our side w as ternhle. The situation being cvidentlv hopeless i ' for any further piusuii of the fugitive j enemy, who had now brought up such 1 overwhelming forces, (Jen. Hill retired slowly. At this moment, seeing their adversary rel:ie, the most vociferous j cheers arose along the whole Yankee j ' line. They were taken up in the distance { by the masses which for miles and mdei ' ' beyond were supporting McClellan's , front. It was a moment when ti e heart j 1 of the stoutest commander might have | ' been appalled. Genera! Hill's situation , ^ was now as desperate as it well could be, and required a courage and presence of j mind to retrieve it, wbich the circUin ' stances wbich surrounded him weie not j well calculated to inspire. His coinm >ml i had fought for live or six liouis without | reinforcements. All his reserves had 1 ! been brought up in the action. Wilcox's ] brigade, which had been almost ainiihi | ' luted, was reforming in the rear. K.ding rapidly to the position of litis ' brigade, General Hill Lrought ibem, by | ' great exertion*, up to tbu front to check ! ' llie advance of this now confident, cheer | ' nig enemy. Catching the t-piril of their | 1 Commander, the brave hut j ojed men j moved up to the front, replying to the | enemy's cheers and shout* and yell*. At litis demonstration, which the enemv, no I . I doubt, supposed signified heavy reinforcements, lie slopped his advance, it was ' now about half past ten o'clock in the | night. The enemy had beeu arrested ; j and the light?one of the most retuarka j hie, long contested and gallant ones thai has yet occurred on our lines ? was on j eluded saiili the Achievement of the liohl under tho most trying circumstances, j which the enemv, whli the most over- ' powering numbers tuoughi up to rein* | force him, had not succeeded in reclaim i t * !, 1 lie battle of Mondav night was fought , t cXclusivelv hv Gen. A 1'. Hill and the | forces under his command. Gen. M* 1 giuder's division did not come up until i ^ eleven o'clock at night, after the tight ; had been concluded. l>y orders from i ? Gen. Lee, Magruder moved upon and oc j . cupted the battle ground ; Gen. llih's ^ Command being in a condition of prostra lion from their long and toilsome light, and suffering in killed and wounded, that it was proper they should he relieved by ! the occupation ot the battle ground by a ^ fresh corpt if armet. In the long and hitter conflict which I r:?....,-i it.it i.-.i ? -i inn uiivi ru^iHiiivu win: uie ene ] in\, ho had driven bun mIiuui u mile and i a ball j and, at the conclusion of lite bat- I tic, although be liatl retired somewhat, ; be still held the gtot.nJ from which, in the early pari of the action, Le had diiv I en the enemy. In looking hack at (lie daily stages of the contest on tl:e Richmond lines, we bud that the battle has been fought by a tlank movement, and fiid that this mote mclil was pmperly commenced at Me chnnicsvilie, where Ceo. Hill first crushed the enemy without wailing for assirlance. Having put itself forward in this conspicuous achievement, Hill's division has i on- j bluntly been used on the enemy's front at every stage of the contest from Heaver Dam and Cold Ilarbor to the laic field ' in tbe vicinity of Darby town, to which no name lias yet been given. It is a melancholy evidence of the achievements of this division that on', of a force of 14, 000 men, with which it went into action on Friday eveumg last, it now cannot probably br ng more than 0000 c-flicieitl men into action. ottkaorh in Louisiana ?A dispatch fioin Clinton, La., say a that the Federals are committing great depredations near Baton Rouge and surrounding country.

And if there ever a as a man in all the land entirely desli,ule of selfishness?that sordid principle 10 coinmon in the human heart, that nan wan John Williams.
