THE PENINSULA.
Continued from lst page.
AROUND WILLIAMSBURG. .
McClellan occupied Yorktown and estab-
lished his headquarters, near there. He sent
his cavalry, with artillery, under Stoneman,
May 4,. to pursue Johnston. Stoneman
caught up with Stuart’s cavalry near the
Halfway house. Here was a line of Con-
federate works waiting for him. In front Of
him was a large redoubt of earthworks called
Fort Magruder. There was some skirmish-
ing, then Stoneman retreated to wait the ar-
rival of infantry to cO-operate with him. As
he did so he left his own cannon behind him,
ingloriously stuck in the mud.
May4 Hooker had marched with the in-
fantry by a shorter road onthe right to join
Stoneman. Gen. W. F. Smith fOIIOWed by
the Lee’s Mill road on the left. After him
moved Couch’s and Casey’s divisions. Kear-
ney’s followed Hooker on the right. Sum-
ner’s corps followed next day. Franklin’s
and Fitz John Porter’s divisions were to be
sent up the York river from Yorktown by
water. Gen. McClellan stayed till the last at
Yorktown.
The Federal troops engaged in the fight at
Williamsburg were Hooker’s and Smith's di-
visions aud Kearney’s divisions, besides part
Of Couch’s. 0n the Confederate side Long-
street commanded.
Hooker fulfilled his orders to the letter. At
daybreak, May 5, he came in sight of Wil-
liamsburg. Knowing that plenty of re-
enforcements were behind him, he attacked
at once with his 9,000 men. All the while the
plan of the Confederates was to retreat
slowly toward Richmond, keeping a strong
rear guard back of them till they could place
the Chickahominy between themselves and
the enemy. It was a masterly movement.
. It was this strong rear guard which began
the battle of Williamsburg, though re-en-
forcements from the front speedily were sent
back. l.-‘ -
saw-cf , ughting hotly at the front, sent re-
peatedly to the commanding officer for help.
But the simple fact is there was no com-
manding officer. A conflict of authority
arose between Sumner and Heintzelman, who
disliked each other. So nothing was done to
relieve Hooker.
Still the rain fell, as it had been doing for
a month. Artillery wheels sank to the center
in the mud, but “Fighting Joe Hooker” kept
until night ~ on the ground that had been
abandoned.
Not paying any attention to Hooker, who
was fighting on the Federal left, Sumner de-
cided to makea movement on the right. A
Confederate redoubt on Cub Dam creek, cast
of Fort Magruder, was reported empty.
Sumner ordered Gen. Winfield Scott Han-
cock to go and take possession of it. He did
so, and likewise took posseMon of another
earthwork in advance of it. He wished to
take a third one, still nearer Fort magnifier,
and repeatedly sent for re-enforcements to
enable him to do so. Sumner twice ordered
them to go to his aid and twice counter-
manded the order. Hancock sent again ur-
gently, and that time Sumner ordered him to
fall back. Thus Hancock got no more sup-
port than Hooker did. It seemed, somehow,
to be a battle without a. head. ,
Hancock was extremely loath to obey such
an order, knowing the advantage that might
be gained. He determined to obey as slowly
as possible. Meantime the enemy poured in
upon him. He began retreating slowly before
them. Suddenly he turned on them and Opened
a terrific musket fire. As the smoke from
- that cleared away somewhat he shouted to
his men: “Now, gentlemen, the bayonet.”
His soldiers made a tremendous bayonet
charge. That decided the day. The Confed-
erates broke and fled. They lost on that part
of the battlefield alone 500. “Hancock was
superb,” Gen. McClellan telegraphed next
da .
So Hooker and Kearney on the left and
Hancock on the right saved the day at .Wil-
lianlsburg May 5, 1862.
But the Confederates got off and continued
their retreat toward Richmond, just as they ‘
had intended. Next day the pursuing army
captured a few of their guns, which had
mired in the mud and been abandoned.
That, with some stray prisoners, was the sum
total of the Federal spods of war after this
battle. The Union forces lost 2,293 in killed
and wounded, the Confederates 1,560.
Gen. McClellan ww not on the field till near
5 o’clock in the afternoon. He was at York-
town superiutending the removal of the
forces that were to go up the York by water.
Word was sent to him at 1 o’clock that the
battle was on, and hotly, and urging him to
go to the front. He answered simply, “I
think they can take care Of that little matter.”
In his book—McClellan’s own book—he says:
“Could I have arrived at 1 o’clock, it is very
certain that Smith, supported by Couch and
afterward by Casey, would at once have de-
bouched from Hancock’s ground and have cut
off the retreat of the greater part of the
troops engaged against Hooker.”

Gen. McClellan rode from Yorktown to
Williamsburg, fourteen miles, upon his favor-
ite war horse, Dan Webster. The general’s
aides called him “Devil Dan,” and he could
trot a steady gait all day. McClellan never
with the faithful beast, but kept him
till Dan died, in 1879.
TO THE CHICKAHOMINY.
After Williamsburg, McClellan’s army fol-
lowed on toward Richmond. There were
always delays, though, sometimes from one
cause, again from another. Part of the troops
were sent back to Yorktown, where they were
embarked on transports and sent up the York
to Eltham’s landing, above West Point.
Franklin’s divisionrwhich had been on land
only one day since they left Washington, near
the middle of April. was the advance at
Eltham’s landing. Franklin’s men had an
indecisive little encounter with the retreating
Confederates. . '
It; took a good two weeks for the Federal
army to move from Williamsburg to White
House, where the next headquarters were.
The distance traveled was forty miles, and a
part of the army was now Within seven miles
of Richmond. Certainly Gen. McClellan got
steadily nearer Richmond.
The Federal forces were concentrated be-
tween the Pamunkey and the Chickahominy.
The Pamunkey was the south branch of the
York. The Chickahominy lay between the
Federal army and Richmond, just as Gen.
Johnston meant it should. In a war map of
the situation before Richmond, published at
that time day after day in one of the leading
newspapers of the United States. the Chicka-
hominy river does not appear atall. The
newspaper correspondents with McClellan’s
army evidently did not know there was such
a stream. They found it out before the sum-
mer was over. -
After Willinmsburg McClellan reported
‘ that he had only 80,000 men. In response to
his urgent demand for more troops, Mc-
Dowell’s corps of 41,000 men was ordered to
go to him by way of Fredericksburg: By
following these points constantly on the map
the reader will get a distinct idea of the
Peninsula campaign. McDowell was not
under McClellan’s command, but led an “in-
dependent cooperating army.” Gen. Shields’
division was drawn from Banks’ force in the
Shenandoah valley, and added to McDowell’s
rps.
McDowell was ordered to leave Fredericks-
burg and join McClellan the middle of May,
which was the time McClellan fixed his head-
quarters at White House, on the Pamunkcy.
White House was the property of Mary
Ciistis Lee, a great-granddaughter of Martha
Washington, married to a son of Gen. Robert
E. Lee. 0n the site of this building had
stood one in which. Washington courted and
married the widow Custis.
McDowell did not get ready to march for
ten days, May 26. Then came the Stonewall
Jackson scare in the Shenandoah valley, and
once more it was all up with the plan for
joining McDowell to the army of the Po-
tomac. DcDowell was ordered back in
haste and commanded to send 20,000 men at
once to the Shenandoah.
- SEVEN PINES.
McClellan had been clearing the way for
McDowell to join him.
HANOVER COURT HOUSE.
Between McDowell's front at Fredericks-
burg and McClellan’s right before Richmond
there was a force of 12,000 Confederates.
They were Anderson’s and Branch’s brigades
and a part of Stuart’s cavalry. Branch’s
brigade wasat Hanover Court House, four-
teen miles north of Richmond. To clear
these 12,000 away, to destroy the bridges over
the South Anna and the Pamunkey, which
would keep the Coxfiederates from getting in
the rear of the Union army from the right,
and toent the railroad from Richmond to
Northem,Virginia, FitzJohu Porter was sent
with12,000 men. May 27,;lu aheavy rain,
the battle of Hanover Court House was
fought, and Porter routed the .Confed-
crates. Bridges were destroyed according to
the plan, which was in other respects carried
.out. except that the railroad from Richmond
to Fredericksburg was not out. “Lacking
that,” wrote Lincoln toMcClellan, “the scrap
of the Virginia Central from Richmond to
Hanover Junction is simply nothing.”
IN CAMP ON THE CHICKAHOMINY-
The historic Chickahominy is a fork of the
James, which rises to the northwest ofRich-
mend, flows southeasterly, and empties into
the river about half way between Richmond
and its mouth. North of Richmond it flows
nearly east and west.
Meantime, early in May, Norfolk had been
abandoned by the Confederates. Gen. Huger,
who held it with 15,000 men, was ordered to
the defense of Richmond. That left the
James open to Federal gunboats well up to-
ward Richmond. >
MeClellan’s army advanced through the
mud and rain to the bank of the Chick-
ahominy. Keyes’ and Heintzelnlan’s corps
crossed it with one brigade. Kearney was
on the west, at Savage station. Hacker’s
division of Heintzelman’s corps was stationed
to the southward to guard White Oak Swamp
bridge. Sumner’s, Franklin‘s and Fitz John
Porter's corps remained on the left or north-
ern bank of the Chickahominy, with McClel-
ian’s headquarters at Gainefi’ Mill. Keyes’
corps was only five miles from Richmond, and
took position at Seven Pines. In Richmond
there was consternation. A niece of Mr.
Davis wrote to her mother: .
“Uncle Jeff thinks we had better go to a
safer place than Richmond. He is miserable.
I fear he cannot live long if he does not get
some rest and quiet.”
In this state of mind, Mr. Davis joined
Church. His niece writes: “Uncle Jeff was
confirmed last Tuesday in St. Paul’s church.
He was baptized in' the morning before
churc ”
It was expected that McClellan would take
Richmond speedily, and the Confederate
government made preparations to leave it.
BATTLE OF FAIR OAKS.
May 31 McClellan had, on both sides of the
Chickahominy, an army of 126,000. John-
stou, who was well informed of the Union
movements, resolved to attack the two Federal
corps south of the Chickahominy, at Fair
Oaks station. Couch’s division was the ex-
treme right of the Federal forces, and occu-
pied Fair Oaks, a little railway station.
-Casey’s division was groupedalittle south-
east of Couch’s, around the Seven Pines
tavern, so called because there are seven pine
trees there. Between these two points the
bloodiest fighting was, and it is therefore cor
rect to mention the battle by either name.
Johnston commanded the Confederates.
The position of the two armies will be seen
from the map. The Confederates advanced
in three columns to the right, left and front
of the Federals. Longstreet and D. H. Hill
attacked in the front, Huger on the left and
Gustavus W. Smith on the right at Fair
Oaks.
Owing to the wretched roads it was noon
before the attack was made. Gen. Naglee’s
Federal brigade was in advance on the front,
and caught the first heavy fire. He ordered
abayonet charge to save his artillery. It
was given with a will, and then Nagle’s
and Casey's divisions fell back to Couch’s
second line. Casey lost some of his cannon.
A hot enfilading fire had cut down many of
his men. To the rear of Couch’s and Casey’s
divisions were the corps commanders, Keyes
and Heintzclman, with, as they faced the
south, Keyes on the right and Heintrelmall on
the left.
1mm OAKS BATTLE GROUND. _
Casey was pressed backward to Fair Oaks
station with re-enforcements that had been
sent him by Keyes. There was deadly fight-
in'g around Fair Oaks. At the same time
there was a. desperate contest about Seven
Pines, and Peck’s brigade of Federal troops
was forced back. Confederates swarmed ill
in on the Union right, left and center.
Couch’s left was turned, and his division cut
in two, and Kearney, who had endeavored to
save the left, was driven back.
Gen. Sumner alone saved the part of the
army south of the Chickahomlny from anni—
hilation. He had ordered abridge built on
his front across the Chickahominy several
days before. This was the famous Grape-
vine bridge. There were only two bridges
besides this by which the Federal troops
might cross the Chickahominy. These were
Bottom’s bridge and the railway~bridge. .
‘At 2:30 o’clock McClellan ordered Sumner
to cross the river tothe aid of Kcyes and
Heintzelman. The fact that the Grapevine
bridge was already "
built saved the day,
what there was left
of it. Sumner
crowed in haste
with Sedgwick’s
and Richardson’s
divisions and took
command. Line of
battle was formed
by Gen. Sedgwick
anew in the woods
near Fair Oaks,
and thebattleraged . '
even hotter than \
before. Confederate'\\
Gen. Johnston was
seriously wounded, and the command
devolved on Gustavus .W. Smith. He
also was wounded, but even that did not stop
the fight. About dark, Sumner ordered a
bayonet charge of five regiments, which broke
the Confederate line, and the fight was ended
for May 31.
Richardson’s brigade and the artillery had
GEN. G. W. SMITH.
'been mired in the mud, but they came up
during the night. Next morning, J une 1, at
3 o’clock, the Confederates made another at-
tack. 'Richardson commanded on the Fed-.
erel side, and was on the lookout. There
was an indecisive fight of several hours. Gen.
0. 0. Howard lost his arm here, and Gen.
Thomas F. Meagher, the patriot, fought
valiantly with his Irish brigade. 011 the
Confederate side Gens. Roger A. Pryor and
Mahonc, afterward United States senator
from Virginia, commanded the Confederates.
Gen. Lee and President Jefferson Davis rode
out in a carriage to see the fight from Rich-
mond of May 31.
June 1 the Confederate army. with its
stores and ammunition, was being removed to
Richmond all day. Toward evening the Con-
federates under Pryor went there too. That
was the last of the Fair Oaks fighting. Each
side lost some 7,000. It was a bloody fight.
In the morning Of June 9 Hooker made a
reconnaissance toward Richmond. He ap-
proached it within four miles and reported
that onlyu few pickets could be seen. It
seemed a good time to march on Richmond,
but the commander in chief ordered Hooker
back and began anew around Fair Oaks the
throwing up of earthwork intrenchmeuta.
A DIAMOND THIEF CAUGHT.
He Substitutes Paste Gems for the Genu-
ine Articles.
New Yeas, May lad—Mrs. Duncan Cry-
der, finding that there was something the
matter with the settings of her diamond ear—
rings, took them to Tiffany’s on May 17 to
have them repaired. The clerk to whom she
showed them laughed heartily, and astonished
Mrs. Cryder by telling her that the stones
were paste, and poor ones at that. She
was indignant, and saw the head clerk
and told him that she had bought the
stones there and paid $2,413 for them.
This made no difference, as the stones were
only imitation diamonds in the ear rings.
Mr. Cryder the same day called on Inspector
Byrnes and told his story. Detectives Handy
and Frink were put on the case, and they
came to the conclusion that the stones were
changed by some one in the house. All the
servants were trustworthy, and the only one
who had not been in the family a long time
was Theodore Hahr, a'butler, who was dis-
charged on April 1. He told the servants
that he had worked at the jewelry trade for
three years.
Mr. Cryder talked about the peculiar rob-
bery to C. L. Rathburn, and when be de-
scribed Hahr Mr. Rathburn said that he be-
lieved the same man had worked for him
after leaving Mr. Cryder’s house. When he
went home and examined his wife’s jewelry
he lfound that the diamonds in her earrings,
valued at 3600, had been replaced by paste
ones. He reported the robbery to Inspector
Byrnes, who caused Hahr’s arrest.
Hallr acknowledged stealing the diamonds
from both complainants. He said that he
had access to the rooms where the jewelry
was kept. He measured the diamonds with
a compam and bought imitation stones for $1
each of the same size. He put in the poets
stones in aworkmanlike manner. The stolen
stones have been recovered.
At the Trysting Place.
“Beloved, dost know the news? Dost real-
ize that my fiinty hearted father has pur-
chased a fierce and blood thirsty dog? And
that this dog is even now prowling about the
house and may appear at our trysting place
at any moment? But thou dost love me, dost
thou not, dearest? I await thy answer.”
But he had already dusted—Pittsburg Bul-
Ietin.
Edison thinks that ball playing at night is
practicable by placing the lights below the

grounds during the coming summon-Boston

LIFE IN, THE counrav.‘
now a Rich Young Couple Are Running
a Long Island Farm.
Here’s a little picture of Long Island domes-
ticity. which an artist. sketched a few nights
ago in the back parlor of a Fifth avenue
house. It is a free hand drawing, warranted
to be true to life: ,
“I hadn’t seen George and Marie,” he be-
gan, “for just a year, so I ran down to the
farm last week to surprise ’em and see how
crops were doing.” .
George and Marie, it is time to remark, are
two young people who have seen some eigh-
teen months of matrimony, George’s father
is a millionaire; Marie’s is one three or four
times over, and the two old gentlemen played
a practical joke on the young cOUple by per-
suading them to farm it down on Long Island
under certain conditions, which it is not
necessary to set forth here.
“The only crop I found,” the artist con-
tinued, “was an egg crop. I got to the farm
at noon. Didn’t see a soul about the house;
went in the front door on tip toe: heard a
noise like the beating of biscuit in the
kitchen; crept in there and found Marie, her
white arms burst! to the elbow, hammering
away at a great wad of dough with a rolling
pill. George was on his knees poking at the
fire. I shouted, but wouldn’t shake hands—
too much dough and soot.
“While we talked the pot boiled and the
bread baked, Marie Opening the oven door
every half minute to see if the biscuit were
rising. A yellow turkey gobbler walked into
the kitchen and picked up a lump of dough
from the table. He must have stood over
three feet when he raised his head.
“ ‘Shoo-o— —,’ I began, but Marie slapped
her pretty, dimplcd, doughy hand over 'my
mouth.
“ ‘Dear. Cousin Charles, do not mind Dicky,’
she murmured; ‘he has come in to lay l'
“Dick come in to lay l”
“The dear little woman, will you believe
me, fetched a shawl from her work basket,
and arranging it turban fashion, placed it on
the lounge—yes, lounge! Think of it, alounge
in the kitchen! And it is a positive fact that
she patted that gobbler on the head and
showed him the nest she had made, and, by
George, if he didn’t get up on the lounge and
lay an egg'in that shawl. I’ll swear to it.
I’ll be 1111—; well, he did it, anyhow.
“By and by, when Marie had looked at the
biscuit for the tenth time, a hen came in cry-
ing ‘car-car-car—car-car ca-ca-car-r-r.’
“ ‘Bring Ella’s nest, George,’ said the good
housewife.
"George dashed away and got a last sum-
mer’s poke bonnet which he placed, bottom
up, on the lounge. Ella watched every move-
ment, and when the bonnet was ready, in she
hopped. In two minutes she got out of it as
if a snake 11nd bitten her. What an uneanhly
racket she did raise! ‘Kuc-kuc-kuc—a, hue--
kuc-kuc-a, kuc-kuc-kuc-a-tekuc-a-tekuc-kuc-a’
—and away she scampered. I looked into
the bonnet and found a fresh egg.
“Before the biscuit were well browned, a
turkey hen came in and laid her head in
Marie’s lap.
“ ‘Run, get Madge's basket, George, dear.’
“George, dear, did as he was bid, and by
the time the biscuit were done there was a
third egg laid in the kitchen. The turkeys
didn’t mak‘o any fuss about it either. Marie
has one hell that positively refuses to lay any-
where except on her and George’s bed. She
hangs around the room until the bed is made
up, when she takes her place just where the
pillows meet. When she goes away she sings:
‘Lay-an—egg-a-day gO-ba-foot’" _
“Charles,” said one of the artist’s auditors,
“are you sure the gobbler laid an egg!”
“I don't know anything about it's being a
gobbler. I’m not up in the poultry line.
Marie said it was a gobbler and George didn’t
correct her. And anyway the thing's name
is Dick."——‘Ncw York Tribune.
A French Scientist's Proposition.
Au exceedingly novel and curious proposi-
tion has just been made by M. Camille Flam-
marioll, the well known French scientific
writer, which is much commented on by the
foreign press. He desires to preserve inter-
national peace by a plan that would at the
some time, he asserts, enlarge the sum of hu-
man knowledge regarding the illterioi- struct-
ure of the earth. In order to do this be pro
poses that the Eurepean governments unite,
turn all their military forces into miners and
their weapons into pickaxes and other mining
tools. At some suitable place he would set
all to work making a vast excavation “miles
in depth.”
Ignoring or overlooking the generally ac-
cepted theory that the farther we proceed
toward the center of the earth the higher we
shall find the temperature, and that, accord-
ing to some writers, the outer crust of the
globe is but ten miles in thickness. at which
depth the heat is so intense that the earth is
in a state of fluidity, M. Flammarion would
dig down till he reached the “central fire” or
the center of the globe. In this way, he
maintains, positive knowledge of the struct-
malformation of the earth’s interior would
be obtained, while peace would be for the
time maintained, “for the nations would
neither fight nor fear each other while all
their armies were underground, the soldiers in
the mines would forget the arts of war, and
the nations, discovering the vast progress
made without wars, would raise no more
great armies.” The plan is certainly an in-
genious one, but its absurdity is so obvious
that we can only wonder how a man so emi-
nent in scientific researches could for a mo-
ment consider it as possible—Frank Leslie’s.
Nothing Like Bullheads.
“What kind of fish are you catching?" we
asked a small boy who was fishing in Covell’s
lake, west of Sioux falls.
“Bullheads,” he replied.
“Get many?”
“Loads of 'em—an’ there’s ’nother. Hi,
Jimmy, see ’im—he’s a big ’un!” and he
pulled out a fish about six inches long.
“Arc hullheads pretty good to eat?”
“Ye bet they are, mister—they’re fine.”
. “Did you ever try any speckled trout?”
.“Nawl Lake’s 'full of em, but we won’t
catch ’cm. Han’t no time for ’em. I tell
you, mister,” hecontinued, as he strung the
last catch on a willow limb, “bullheads is
good eatin’. I s’pose trouts are all right
enough, an‘ll do when other fish are scarce,
but there han’t nothin’ like bullheads for a
steddy thing right along. Don’t be scart
now, mister, I'm goin’ to holler—bullheads
bites better when you hollera little.”—Da-
Rats Bell. ' ' ’
