Cursed be Traitors.

Oh, for a tongue to curse the dare, WhoM treason like a deadly b)i h', Cones o'er the councils of the brare. And blasts them in their hour of might! May life's unblessed cup for h'm. Be drugged wiih treacheries to the brim With hopes that but c Uure to fly, With joys that vanish as be sips Like D'jau Sea fruits that tempt the eye, But turn to ashes on the lips! His couuu ' curse, lata children's shame. Outcast of virtue, peace ami fame, May he, at Ust, w.tii li o" flame. On the parch'd deec.t thirsting die, While lakes that show in mocke nigh Are fading off, untouched, untasted. Like the once glorioui hopes he blasted ! And when fr n earth his stv, i. flies, Just Prophet, !t tue dautuM one dwell. Full in sight of parathse, Beholding Heaven and feeling Hell! Charge of Base ft on J?mes R'ver to the Rpppahanoock.

To tbe right two regiments stretched along the woods and occupied a hill, but the ford was a good defense for our light. In front, on the road leading to the mill, on the other side of the ford, we had placed two regiments of infantry in the bush, and tnaked . battery of artillery. This .ttillery commanded the road and an ooen field, by which the enemy could briug their artillery, and was an admirable position.

Tbe count. y is the same fine .Vming land, gent'y roll'ng, until within six miles of Williamsburg, when you pass through pine woods and swamps, of jreat ex'ent. At 2 o'clock the rear gua d reached Wi'lianitiburg. and in the greeu fields, east of the ancient town, soon gl'stened a city of tents and banners fluttered in the breeze. The stars and stripes greeted our eye; from a strange village for the first t'tne in five months, and we feel at home again. WiPiamsbcrg is a very old town, and once the capital of the colony of Virginia. It has wide streets, well shaded w th trees, ami very aid buildings. Population, mostly Secesh, about C.000. So slow is tho progress of improvment that trees twenty years old are g. owing amid the rums of burned buildings. Wil'iam and Mary's College is here, with a statue in tbe lawn in front of Loid Bootant. There is also tho Insane Asylum and a number of public buildings. A small newspaper called the Cavalier, is printed here by the boys of the Fifth Pennsylvania Cavalry. The bouses are hoilt of imported brick, and everything wears a sleepy air, as if old Rip Van Winkle made his home here. All things eatable were devoured bv the passing army in less than 24 hours, and tbe people had nothing to sell or give away. At 6 o'clock A. M., August 19, the rear guard folded np their tents, left their camp, and wound through the town of Williamsburg, crossing the edge of tho battle-field, and passing through the redoubts of the enemy. Many a lonely grave studded tbe plain, and many a mound marked the place of the deadly struggle. For five hoars. Kearney's Brigade fought the entuo rear guard of the enemy at this place, not being re-enforced till General McClellan came on the field in person. At the edge of the battle-field commences the swamp region of tbe Penmsula, and wc toiled on through the dismal woods and briars arriving at Yorktown at 2 P. M.

Pope also crossed both these streams, and was reported at one time to have occupied Gordoasvillc, but the subordinate charged with that movement failed to execute it.Pope's advance, as was calculated, distracted the rebel attention from McClean's retreat down the Peninsula, and collected their forces in his front. Being soon outnumber 1, he was ordered to fail back, aud did so. The bloody but indecisive battle of " Cedar Mountain" was fought between the advance of the two armies respectively, just north of the Rapidan, on August 9. Jackson soon after retreated across the Rapidan probably to tempt Pope further from his resources.
