The followmg is an account of the battles fought in from of Richmond on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, being the 5th, 6th and 7th days of the engagement. We care not for the minor statements of the article. The truth. though tardily, is at length. admitted. When will the other jour- nals be eqnany honest? Nothing is to be gained by concea'iing the fats. Time will reveal the whole truth. “Beyond all question, this intelhgence will fall with heavy weight upon the public Mart. It is entirely uneXpected, and shutters the high hope 2:]: ich the whole country has of late indulged, that. with {he fall of Richmond. the end (aft/w rebellion was dose at hand. But this depressing effect will be temporary. A day’s reflection will muse the whole country to the necessity at another effort to crush the rebellion.” “Our whole army, therefore, now lies arm: the James River. at a point called Turkev Bend, within reach, and under cover cf our gunboats. Supplies will speedly reach it from Fovtress Munree, and it seems, indeed, to have withdrawn its stores in good order and without serious loss. “It seems from their statement, that the right wing of our army. numbering about 20,- 000 men, was attacked on Friday by an over- whelming rebel force of rot less than 50,000, and that after a hot and protracted fight, sus- tained with the greatest gallantry by our troops. they effected their retreat across the Chickahominv. This le «ding fact was known before. But it now for the first time appears that they did not wait to destroy the bridge across the swamp so effectually as to prevent the passage of the rebels,-â€"-that our forces on the left, for some reason or other, did not dis- pute the passage, although they had planted batteries for the purpose ot doing so, but de- cided to abandon their position,â€"â€"and that accordingly, on Satnrttay night and Sunday, the whole left wing, comprising the main body of the army, under Heintzelman, Keyes and Sumner, fell back along the line of the railroad and the Williamsburgh Road, turned the foot of the White Oak Swamp, which ap- proaches the Chickahominy, and marched to the James River, a distance of from ten to; fifteen miles. The rebels, after crossing the; Chickahorniny on Sunday in the immediate neighborhood of what had been Gen. McClel- lan s Headquarters, passed on reaching the railroad, and made no further pursuit. They remained.however,in possession of the ground previously held by our troops on both sides of the Chickahominy, including the bridges and the earthworks we had erected against their approach in front. “We have at- last full reports of recent movements in front of Richmond.

They consider that the territory recently given up has weakened the North and correspondingly strengthened the South. They expect to hold Richmond and all Virginia; but if they- are forced to yield them they have no idea of giving up, but will fight to the last, and when they can fight no longer, instead of snrrending and having their prOperty confiscated and themselves dis- franchised they will make a direct proposition to France and England to become a colony or appendage.

Beneath lay a valley, now rich, cheerful and highly favored. Wood- lands, meadows bright with daisies, and fields of wheat slope gently down to the edge of the Boyne. That bright and tranquil stream, the boundary' of Louth and Meath, having for many miles flowed between verdant banks crowned with modern palaces and ruined Norman keeps, is here about to mingle with the sea. Five miles to the west of this place is Slane Castle, the mansion of the Marquis of Cony nham; and two miles to the east is the busy town and port of Drogheda. At the time we speak of Drogheda was composed of houses built of wood, with projecting upper stoâ€" ries. Its streets were narrow and crooked, sad; its lanes filthy. The chief of the army was Wil- liam Henry, Prince of Orange, Nassau,'the'hus-' band of Mary, the daughter of James the second, 4 to whom he had been married upwards of nine years. At the time of his marriage William was twenty -eight, but Mary was a handsome girl of sixteen, naturally intelligent, well disposed, but ignorant and simple On this said 30th of June; the pavilion of James, the father- n-law of Wil- liam, was to be seen on the opposite side of the Boyne pitched on the eminence of Donors.

The scenes enacted in Londonderry the year betore the bat- tle of the Boyne, are no doubt familiar to our readers. in the midst of unparalled destitution, when by famine the people perished so fast that it was impossible for the survivors to perform the rites ofsepulture, even in that extremity the cry was “,No Surrender.” And there were those who added “First 'he horses and hides; and then the prisoners; and then each other.” Such a people deserved such a deliverer. His enlightened lib- erality stands out boldly at the time of the taking ofthe oath of office presented by the Scottish Commissioners of 1689. On the eleventh of May the Commissioners came to the Council Chambers at Whitehall, and thence attended by all the Scotchmen in London, proceed to the Banqueting House. There William and Mary appeared seat- ed undera canopy. The oath was adminisrered after the Scatch fashion. Argyle recited the words slowly. The royal pair holding up their hands towards heaven repeated after him till they came to the last clause. That clause contained a promise that he would root out all heretics, and 3 all enemies of the true worship of God ; and it ‘ was notorious that in t“ e opinion of many Scoteh- 3 men not only Roman Catholics, but all.

Entronsâ€"The impending dearth of l; fodder must, unless averted, entail the des- , truction of the part of the stock next winter, I ‘ therefore crave a small space in your journal to point out some remedies. First, I recom- ' mend that Hungarian grass be planted large- ly, as it presents the following advantages: it may be sown till the 10th of July; it re- quires only three pecks to the acre for seed ; it is fit to cut in two months, for although the seed is m the mark, it will ripen in the barn. Horses fed on it requires no oats, ex- cept those that are driven fast on the road, and they only need a fourth of the quantity The yield is from three to five tons per acre. Next,[ advise the planting of spring tares; this may be done till the 25th July, and in six weeks it may be cut for soft feed or dried hay. Again. it is of great importance that a plentiful crop of turnips should be sown.-â€"- Aberdeens will do welt if sown before the 15th of July. and in most years white globe up to the lst of August. A light dressing ot unleached wood ashes increase the size or the turnips very much. Turnips will be re- quired next winter to replace the potatoes, which threaten to be a total failure. Wheat- en barley, oaten and pease straw, all make good fodder if cut and steamed, and cattle will fatten on ' any'of them if a little‘bran or molasses be added. The nutritive power of oats, beans, c., are augmented one-fifth by being cracked or bruised; by attending to this a considerable economy of food may be effected. Lastly, animals that are housed in warm stables keep fat on very much less food than those that are not. Hoping that these suggestirns may be useful, I remain your obedient servant S. C. SEWELL.” There is no question but the hay crop in most parts of Canada will be exceedingly light. No amount of rain now will material- ly affect the hay prospects. The loss of food for stock is a serious one to the Canadian farmer, but instead of preparing to sell their stock as suggested by some thoughtless indi- viduals, by promptly attending to the fol lowing sensible advice, a substitute for hay may be provided, and the stock saved in good condition through next winter. Far better to expend a little extra labor now, that. be obliged to sell your stoslt at a great sacriâ€" fice next fall. The late rains have put the ground in excellent condition, and turnips, c., may be sown with the prospect of a good crop. The following letter copied from the Ontaria Episcopal Gazette. contains im portant suggestions, which we commend to the attention of farmers :â€" 83’ A meeting will take place at the Old School House, Durham, this evening, to hear the report of the deputation appointed to con- fer with the Northern Railway authtritieo relative to the opening up the Durham and Collingwood Gravel Road.

The advices from England by the last ar- rival announced the death of Lord Charles John Canning, the third son of the celebrated George Canning. and late Genernor-General of lndia. He was born in London in 1812, ednc:.ted at the University ol Okfiml. and en- tered the HOUSE of Com'nons as member for Warwickshire in 1836. In the following year, he succeeded to the peerage, and malt into’the Upper House. Upon the accession to office of Sir Rub-art Peel, in 1841, he was appointed Uniler-Sv'oretary for Foreign Af- fairs, which post he held for five years. Af- ter retirement for a long space from public‘ office, he became Postmaster-General under‘ the ministry of Lord Aberdeen. in 1853. in-' trodncing many important reforms into the department, and distinguishing himself by his admimstrative capacity. On the death of Lr rd Dalhousne in 1855, he was appointed to succeed that statesman as Governor-Gene ral of India, and entered upon the duties of his of- fice on the last day ot February, 1856. The following year, the terrible Indian mutiny broke out, and it was owing in a great measure- to the firmness and resolution of Lord Can- ning that India was saved to theBritish Bin-- pire. __At the commencement oftho rebellion he was accused of weakness and softness in dealing with the crisis. He was subsequent- !y charged with too great severity towards the rebels; but he (lid not desert his poet, and outlived the cdium which he had incur- red. Having successfully accomplished the arduous task of l acificating India. and rais- ing it from decay and corruption to the promise of a new and vigorous life, he re- turned to England in April last, to seek re- pose from his labors. and the restoration of us health, which had been broken by the pressure of his onerous duties. The wife of Lord Canning recently died a victim to the climate of India, and he has now followed her to the grave. He has left no family, and his titles die with him. The line, of George Canning now survives only in Lady Clanriâ€" cards and her chiidren. And such is the fact. There is poison enough in a single ounce of this green tea to lull a man, if taken at once. ‘Tea tamera’ employed m the custom-house soon sink into the grave from the effects ofthis slow poison. -‘4 ..V\_,' . .. mm! -’!!~:.;It*- :4 ll-rlw ‘mu :9 .m. - _ ‘. ‘.o lelofi Iur . - . ; l - lv't} lIloinlxtfl. and d! l .:.g A 4: :~_ ki':.‘.~.\;!.;{ . :WL. tea which liad been wet by Ilse flood at Sacramento.
