ntermanding the order, which afforded any pretext for an assault on his administration. After his glaring mistake had been exposed, simple justice, not to speak of magnanimity, would have required that he should retract his error in a very different spirit and manner from that which he has employed. It is due to Colonel Maynadier to gives his own explanation for having obeyed the order of Secretary Floyd. In his letter to the Potter Committee of the House of Representatives, dated 3d February, 1862, he says: In truth it never entered my mind at this time (20th December, 1860), that there could be any improper motive or object in the order, for on the question of union and secession Mr. Floyd was then regarded throughout the country as a strong advocate of the Union and opponent of secession. He had recently published, over his own signature, in a Richmond paper, a letter on this subject, which gained him high credit at the North for his boldness in rebuking the pernicious views

Where there was great division of sentiment, as in Kentucky, Missouri, etc., some remained in the army and did splendid service for the Union, while others were unsurpassed in their zeal and fidelity to the South. Hylan B. Lyon was one of this latter class; on April 30, 1861, resigning his commission in the United States army. He entered the service of the Confederate States, and was commissioned first-lieutenant of artillery. He was the first captain of Cobb's battery. By the 3d of February, 1862, he had been promoted to lieutenant-colonel of the Eighth Kentucky regiment. He led his regiment at the battle of Fort Donelson and was mentioned for gallantry by his brigade commander, Col. John M. Simonton. After the Donelson prisoners had been exchanged, Colonel Lyon and the Eighth Kentucky were placed in the army of West Tennessee, in the first division of the first corps. On the 5th of December, 1862, this division, commanded by Gen. Lloyd Tilghman, had an encounter with the F

From Norfolk. runaway negroes--"Bohemian" gone to North Carolina--the news, &c. [special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Feb. 3, 1862. I learn that more slaves effected their escape last week from Norfolk county. They belong to farmers residing on or near Tanner's creek. They doubtless get off at night in boats sufficiently large to cross the Roads and land them at or near Fortress Monroe. The loss of valuable negro men falls heavily upon the gentlemanly and kind-hearted farmers and gardeners in the section of the county above mentioned, and prompt and judicious measures should at once be taken to prevent slaves from getting off by water to the forts and vessels of the common enemy. The deluded negroes, thus leaving their best friends and comfortable homes, where they are fed, clothed, and allowed all reasonable privileges, vainly suppose that they will fare better, and the more favorably situated, under the protection of the Yankees, than at h

General Assembly of Virginia.Senate. Saturday, Feb. 3, 1862. The Senate was called to order at 12 o'clock by Mr. Johnson, President pro tem, Prayer by the Rev. Dr. Brown. The Military bill The bill reported from the joint committee "to raise troops to meet the requisition on Virginia by the President of the Confederate States," was taken up for consideration. Mr. Johnson (Mr. Dickinson, of Prince Edward, in the chair) said that the quote called for by the President's requisition amounted to 65,800 men. The committee had been informed by the Secretary of War that 1,500 troops now in the field had already reenlisted for the war — thus leaving 64,300 to be raised. It was within the bounds of probability that from 27,000 to 28,000 would re-enlist. The bounty system provided by act of Congress was working well, and troops were very rapidly offering their services for the war. The committee assumed that the bill, in its present form, by giving an opportunity for tr

Corcoran: Columbia, S. C., Feb. 3, 1862.
