ted our flank from attack. Colonel Clanton himself remained almost all the time with my brigade, and though constantly exposed to the most dangerous fire, exhibited the most fearless and exemplary courage, cheering on those who seemed inclined to falter or grow weary, and with a detachment of his cavalry supplying us with ammunition when our wagons could not reach us. （612) Mentioned by Capt. A. W. Avery, Shiloh. (853, 854) Highly commended in Col. Joseph Wheeler's report, Bridge Creek, May 28, 1862; The conduct of the officers and men in this affair was commendable, subjected as they were to a heavy fire of both artillery and infantry, from a foe secreted by a density of undergrowth. They advanced steadily, not using their arms until they were ordered, when they fired with good effect. . . . The part of the line under the gallant Colonel Clanton was severely engaged about 10 to 11 o'clock on the morning of the 29th, in which several were wounded on both sides. Colonel Wheeler men

rganization of brigades was not carried into effect at that time; and General Whiting retained command of the troops who were used to him, and he to them. When General Johnston's army occupied the defensive line at and near Yorktown, General Whiting commanded a division composed of three brigades—his own and those of Hood and Hampton. That division formed a portion of my command during the operations at Yorktown, and in the withdrawal of our army to the vicinity of Richmond. On the 28th May, 1862, under authority from General Johnston, the following order was issued by my direction: The division now commanded by Brigadier-General Whiting, and the brigades of Brigadier-General Pettigrew and BrigadierGen-eral Hatton will, until further orders, constitute one division under command of Brigadier-General Whiting. That division bore my name. My command, proper, at that time, was the left wing of General Johnston's army, which was composed of the division under Whiting, and t

There were some other casualties, of when our correspondent did not obtain a list. The charge of the Rappahannock troop was a desperate and daring one and will forever remove the odium which was so unjustly sought to be fixed upon the company for its conduct at Fairfax Court-House, one year ago.

The late skirmish on the Chickahominy. In the Field near Richmond, 28th May, 1862. To the Editors of the Dispatch: Observing that you take a lively interest in the movements and actions of the army, and believing that you would not knowingly publish any statement that would do in justice to any corps or officer in the service, I avail myself of this opportunity of correcting the errors of fact in your article of the 28th instant, relative to the late skirmish on the line of the Chickahominy, in which the 5th regiment Louisiana volunteers was engaged. The skirmish did not commence with "a fusillade" in front of the river. It commenced with an attack on the left flank of the skirmishers of the 5th posted on the line of the river. There was a surprise, But it was not owing to any want of vigilance on the part of the 5th, nor of the commanding officer of the brigade The enemy crossed the river at a ford one mile and a quarter above the regiment It is understood t

Virginians in the battle of Shiloh, New Hope, Va, May 28, 1862. To the Editors of the Dispatch: In a recent issue of your paper I notice the names of several Virginians mentioned as having participated in the great battle of Shiloh. I wish to add another. I refer to Gustavus Credson. He is a native of Albemarle county, but removed several years ago with his parents to Shelby county, Tennessee, where he has been since living. He is not yet eighteen years of age and joined the army soon after the commencement of hostilities; thus furnishing another of the numberless illustrations of the unyielding determination of the Southern people of all classes to drive back the invaders or perish in the attempt.

We captured a large number of stolen negroes. The Yankees had married a number of the women and were taking them home with them. I have seen some that refused to go, and others that had been forced off at other times that had returned. At Front Royal we captured 1, 479 prisoners, and eight or nine hundred at Winchester, and numbers from points north are being hourly brought in. At Strasburg we took six pieces of artillery. W. W. H. Taylor Hotel, Winchester. Va. May 28, 1862. This beautiful inland town has assumed quite a lively appearance since we drove the detestable Yankees from its vicinity, and the people are once more breathing the air of freeman and not of slaves. To-day I heards lady say that she was once more free, and the niggers were niggers again. Up to this time we have captured and have in this place between 3,000 and 4,000 prisoners, and I am told that 1,100 more of the Hessians have been captured near Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg

They are required to pray for the success of those who have invaded their homes, insulted their wives and daughters, and attempted to arm their slaves and incite them to insurrection — or, which is the same thing, they are forbidden to invoke the blessings of Heaven upon a gallant army in expelling such a foe from their midst. In forbidding us to pray for the success of our, cause, they require us to pray for the success of theirs. Office Mil'y Comm'dt of New Orleans.
