ockaded, and he then determined to proceed through Tucker and Preston and into Hardy, and having passed the road that led that way, we reversed the order of march, which threw my regiment to the front, which order was preserved during the day, except that Colonel Hansbrough's Battalion passed us to the front. That night we camped on Cheat river, and next morning Col. Hassorough, Col. Jackson, and myself were marched in front of the train. Gen. Garnett, now anticipating an attack from Gen.

Cols. Hunt, Colquitt and Wloston have held high and important positions in their several States, the two former having been Representatives in Congress, and the latter Governor of Althama. When I have a better acquaintance with them. I will give you an outline of their appearance, and more obvious
