QM '7 . THE AMERICAN ltlli’tl'lill'l‘lOFl, CHEAT BA'I‘TLE BEFORE RICH.â€" ' MON 1). ('Tfihunc‘s 1)PSP(IL’;]L.) \VASUXNGToN, June ENEâ€"A sorcrc and. most determined battle was fought on the right wing on 'l‘linrsday and Friday, wl‘ii‘clr- isclaincd by some of our officers, as a sucv cessful stratagetic in0v¢erpent, into which the enemy had unwittineg becn,draw-n, and which will result in the capture of Richmond, and the. entire rebel army.» The attackwasmadc by the enemy in im- mense force who crossed the Chickahom- iny, near the railroad above Mochanics- ville. On Thursday afternoon, they fought dcsperately, but Were unable to drive our men a single rod, though the enemy werei lento one. The only forces engaged that day were McCall‘s division, the battle lastâ€" ing from two o’clock to nine o’clock, p.m., when.th division was ordered hack. ‘ GeneralMcClellan was on the field ex- pressing himself satisfied with the result. (Second Despatch ) ' On Thursday about noon the enemy niade an attack upon General Stoneiiian’s forces in the vicinity of Hanover C. ll, probably for the purpose ofaccomplisliing an outflanking movement on the right, and to engage our attention in that direction. Shortly alterwards they commenced a vigorous cannonading from the works sit- uated on an eminence opposite h’lechauics- ville, about one and a half miles distant, also from two batteries, Oiic tibOVc and the other below. 'lflicy wci‘c replied to by Campbell’s Pennsylvania batteries, on picket dutymone on the Mechanicsville road and another from behind the earth- works at the right ol a grove.- Ahout 2 p.m., the enemy’s infantry and squadrons of cavclry crossed the Cliickaliorniny in im- mensc force, a short distance above the Virginia Central Railroad, making a rapid advance through the lowlands and the forest towards General McCalls division, who were entrenched on a hilly woodland across a swamp ravine, about a mile in the rear of Mechanicsvillc. NEW YORK, June 30.â€"â€" The New York Hem/([3 report, dated 27th, states our killed, wounded and missing that day reached 1,900. The object of the move- ment was to bring Porter‘s and the other divisions into more close connexrdn with the rust ofthe army, in fact, changing the front of the whole of our forces, with our centre and left pressingr immediately on {iciimoiid itself, which would he done, it was expected on Saturday. it w s a Vll‘ tual surrender of vacating of a long line of defence, heretofore kept up to i\']cchanics» ville, in order to have the whole force within more cllcctual disrance ; also, to al- low the rebels to follow up, and, if possi' ble, to bag them. McClellan ordered Porter ti Withdraw two miles this side of Gainesj Mills early on Friday morning, which was done, the enemy following up, thinking they had pain- ed a victory over our troops, slowlv mov. log back in order, fighting as they went. crossing the Chickaliominy, and reached the position designated for their occupation by Gen. McClellan. The rebels followed in great. force, and by three o‘clock p.in., a griieral and heavy engagement courncnced, lastingi till seven o’clock, when a lull tool: place, but the re- bcls again rcnewcd it with greater fcro- city, having been reâ€"inforccd. Our brave men stood the unequal con- test like hcrocs, and cannislcr, shell, grape, and musk‘etry did fearful havoc. 'Our forces wore increasml by Gen'ls. Slocum’s, Palmer’s,"French’s, and Meag- hcr’s brigades, and the rebels were badly, beaten. Meagher's brigade went into the battle with their coats off and sleeves rolled up, lighting like tigers. p The ground which Lien. McClellan or- dcred Gen. Porter to occupy and hold, was occupied and held. In the first part of the day, only Gen. Porter’s corps contended against the re- bels,but subsequently reinforcements swellâ€" ed the number to 45,000. The rebels had 60,000 men under Cne~ crals Lee, llill, Anderson, and Branch. New YORK, July 1. it is stated that on recommendation of the Governors of all the loyal States, the President willl call for 200,000 volunteers to hold points already acquired‘ and to close the war. \VAsiIINGTON, July 1.

The Government telegraph from White llouse and vicinity has not worked since Saturday at two o’clock. The falling back of the right wing of the army was done, in the most perfect or- der, and is not looked upon as a disastrous move, but as. one, under the circumstances, wellplanned, after the union of Stonewall Jackson’s and Johnson’s forces. we hear of skirmishiug going on along our lines but. can get no details. I have learned from Lieut. \Valter \Vaite, one of Gen. Casey’s aids, that the burning of White House was either an ac- .cident or the work of an incendiary, as Gen. Casey gave eXplicit orders for the \Vliite house not to be destroyed. Reports are current to-day that Gen. McClellan has taken l’cichmond, but there is no good authority for the rumor, the telegraph not being at work, and there not being a boat from James River, although one is hourly expected. Schooners have been arriving here all day loaded with cattle, horses, mules, hay and commissary stores. There was nothing left above West Point when the last steamer passed down last evening, but at V’l'cst Point there were 200 barch and scliooners, iriostly smrll sclioncrs. Despatchcs to Flag Officer Goltlsboro, on l‘donday, are said to state that. the re- bel attack on our right was a desperate af- fair, in which the rnbcls lost 5,000 men. Our loss was heavy. Gen. Stoncman, being cut off from the right, had retreated from Yorktown and arrived at Fortress Monroe. it is further stated that on his left, l\/.lcC‘lellan, with seâ€" vere lighting, had passed through White Oak swamp with 40000 men and 1,000 pieces of artillery, to secure an advantage o:is position. and had subsequently cut through a line of communication with the lamcs River. 1! is rt-portcd that during the two days’ lighting, McClellan’s loss was 10,000. or da. ,3 .3. 3 June, 2,’ti'.2. horn Railway of tuna QT] I -â€"â€"l-Aâ€"~ limo Table takes ctl‘ect Monday, MOVING rton'ru’ hlztil.

REGULAR .A'l‘l'llh‘l),\NCFLâ€"Tlfilnlas Cl'fl'o‘fOI'd- f It was intimated to the school, about three months ago, that a number of prizes would be given at the i'iiidsummcr examination, to those who, by their proficiency or industry, should show them- selves to be most deserving of’ them. The otlcct of this announceâ€" mcnt upon the school at, large was most happy and encouraging, and the hope of gaining an honorable distinction has stimulated many of lilic pupils to very praise vorthy ox- )l'llUDS. The basis upon which ‘ most of the prcn’iiums were award- ed, was the daily record of credit marks for perfect medallions, kept in the various classes for the past quarter. A few, however, in some of the departments, were left to be determined by the result of the examination. .__.~â€"M>O (lim' ' 'l‘lio Markham Council meets at Sizc‘s llotcl, Unionvillc, on Suâ€" ,m. .m tho great advantages zit, having :in ("turnout an institution in ti'ii‘rlay, ttr-riiorrow, the 53th instant, The prizes in this departmcnt’ been used in the first instance, the statement would have been quite correct ; but this was not theicasc, and hence our ()bJC‘CllOll.

NSC), when he was dosâ€" iincd to discover Canada.’ The r arson of tho ditforcncc in the dates, is this: Cartier discover- cd Capo Gaspc in root; and in l535usccntled tli St. Lawrence, and explored a great part of the country. Some historians, thereâ€" fore, consider that the discovcry was made in: and Oillt‘l'S in 1535 However, that Cartier dis- covered Canada in one or other of those years is admitted by all. Again we are told that “ Jaques Cartier, the celebrated French navi- gator, with ltobcrval.waitcmptcd a settlement in 1541, but failed, and the remnant of the expedition rc- turued to France in 1543.” On the contrary, in toys History of Cunaâ€" du, we read (page 32) “Having passed the wiutcr,(15vti’.~3) lic (lio- berval) left thirty men in the fort, and returned to Franco. For six years he took no more interest in Canada.” This, we contend, was the first settlement magic on the banks of the St. Lawrence, it is designated as a settlement by Boyd, in his history, (page ll). 13 u The next statement ofiho Econo- mist is, that “ it was not till 1008 according to one account, but ac- cording to another, in 1607 that the first settlement. was made in Cana- da,” and the follmving extract given, from Bcil‘s translation of Garneau’s History to prove that the latter is the correct date : ” After having ohtainod from the king (lfil'l) a renewal of his privilege. for one year, M. do which attempts to show that We were successful in establishing a. history of this country We find the same: it: Thus We have pointed out about, ‘rcdfto, as it Would be possible to_,,put~ writey of it has the assurangifi to which have no foundation in truth.’1 He likewise says something about a ‘ silly attack on the people of Stouf‘fvtllc.’ We are at a loss to know to what he rotors. if he can prove that we have made such an attack. we shall reward him for his trouble, by presenting him with a good history of Canada, of which he seems to be much in need. #61 Clerk of the Peace, and Countv Attorney.

We consider the late meeting of a few of the Magistrates in Toronto as not calculated to cure the object for which they met willt'il't’: are about 208 enrolled on itlic Commission of tire Pcaccâ€"â€"only l lift y of whom appears to have voted, viz.»v~39 for Mr. \V. ll.

Ak-l ton, Cup, on cri‘iineut barrister of long standing, is the most likely person to get the appointment, if he will apply; Mr, Dalton is long and favorably known as a dignified, upright lawyer, and one who has never condcsccndcd to play the jumbo] for any political lion; we have no hesitation in saying that if the Covorniiicut think proper to prefer cliicicucy to the petty clairiis of stump oraiors, and party wire- i'iullcrs, they will render a lustingr service to the United Counties of York and Pool by selecting,r Mr. Dalton ; and will have the satisfac- tion of knowing that they have se- cured the services of a gentlcn'ian, in every way qualified to discharge the duties in such a manner as to give satisfaction to the public. From what we have learned, wr- fcel assured that the appointment would be popular. â€"â€"-â€"â€"«~M>o<mâ€"-â€"â€"-~â€"- The Misses Graham beg‘ to in form the ladies of this neighbor hood, that they intend, for a short period, giving lessons in the followâ€" ing styles of Drawing, ’ainting, 8m. :~- Mouochrornutic Drawing Colored Chalk Drawing, Crystal l’aintingflVax Flowers, Wax Shells Wax Fruit, Hair Flowers, Tissue Flowers, and Embossed Leather Frame Making.

This may be at once seen by rcfcrring to the first paragraph, in the chapter of Garne~ ous’ history, from which the above quotation is made ; where we find that Do Monts ‘abandoncd Acadia in l607.’ llc returned to France and had his privileges renewed in that year, then equipped his vessels; and sailed for Quebec in 1608.-â€" 'l‘hcrc is not the slightest difference in the accounts given by the differ" cnt historians with respect to the year.

' C : REMEDY FOR Rrxo WORM.-;~Tl16 W‘orlh Britt's/i flgricu/turz'st says that the. disease locally known as ring- worm or tetter, which shows itself about the head and neck of young cattle, in the form of whitish dry scurvy spots, can he removed by rubbing the parts affected with tod- inc ointment. The disease may also he combattcd by the use of sulphur and oil; iiidiiic ointment. ll, how- ever, to be preferred, As thil skin disease is easily communicated to the human system, the person dress- ing the cattle should wash his hands with soap and hot water after each application of the ointment.
