ssault Fort Anderson, when the artillery opened, and its youthful and gallant Col. H. K. Burgwyn and his men withdrew with great reluctance after having been under a heavy artillery fire for some hours. The Confederate losses in this demonstration were, so far as reported, 4 killed and 19 wounded. Between this movement against New Bern and the siege of Washington, only one or two skirmishes took place. A few men from the Seventeenth regiment made a demonstration against Plymouth. Col. John E. Brown, with three companies of the Forty-second regiment, attacked the post at Winfield, on the Chowan river, below Gatesville; after a brisk exchange of shots, he withdrew. At Sandy Ridge, three companies of the Forty-ninth and some of the Eighth regiment had a short skirmish on the 20th, and lost 1 killed and 6 wounded. Toward the last of March, General Hill sent General Garnett to lay siege to Washington. It had been hoped, as already seen, to surprise the town, but the rains dela

sses assaulted and boarded the gunboat Underwriter, lying just under the guns of the forts.. The men under Wood were exposed to a hot fire on approaching the boat, and, after boarding, they became at once engaged in a desperate hand-to-hand cutlass and pistol fight with the Underwriter's crew. Wood finally captured the vessel, but had to burn it. Few more daring deeds than this were done during the war. On the 28th of January, Gen. J. G. Martin, commanding the Forty-second regiment, Col. J. E. Brown; the Seventeenth regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel Lamb; a cavalry force under Colonel Jackson and Lieutenant-Colonel Jeffords, four pieces of the Ellis battery of Moore's battalion (accompanied by the major), and Paris' battery, set out from Wilmington to attack the garrison at Newport barracks, near Shepherdsville. That post was defended by the Ninth Vermont regiment, a Massachusetts heavy battery, and two companies of cavalry. On the 2d of February, General Martin made the attack suc

foremost thought of the time, the day, the hour. It is not the cry of the multitude, Crucify him! Release to us Barabbas, but of the still small voice, Be just and fear not. I quiver with emotion in the presence of this audience, cultured and adorned with every embellishment of beauty. I reckon the census of immortal events wrought here by the good limbs of our people. I miss the lionhearted Jones, the intrepid Flemming, the unmatched Waring, glorious Greer, my virtuous friend John E. Brown, the steady Barringer and perennial Vance. At their tombs my tributary tears I offer for my brethren's obsequies. I asked my wife if it would be risking too much with this assemblage of worthies to indulge my sense for humor. With Confederate precision she retorted against it and I am sworn to a severe demeanor. I am not to herald discordant notes. Peace on earth to men of good will enthuses me. If I may twang the bow of Ulysses I recognize that you cannot annihilate the past.

Confederate States Congress. Senate.--The Senate met at 12 o'clock Saturday. Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Doggett, of the Methodist Church. Mr. Brown offered the following, which was agreed to: Resolved,That the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to inquire into the propriety of providing by law for retiring from the line such field and company officers as have or may hereafter become unfit for active service by reason of disease or wounds, so as to open the way for promotion to those below them who remain in the field in the actual discharge of their duties; and that they further inquire whether an officer who is absent from his command in time of battle, unless from absolute disability, or under orders from his superiors, or is a prisoner, ought not to be dropped; and further, if it is not expedient and proper to assume that an officer who is absent for three months or more, unless he is a prisoner, is prima facie, unfit for duty, or is delinquent in the discharg
