Richardson, Chief Engineer; Captain Jed. Hotchkiss, Topographical Engineer. Colonel J. E. Johnson, formerly of the Ninth Virginia cavalry, Lieutenant Elliott Johnston, of General Garnett's staff, and Lieutenant R. W. B. Elliott, of General Lawton's staff, were with me as volunteer aides-de-camp. Colonel Pendleton's knowledge of hiss experience, energy and zeal could ensure. The labor and responsibility of providing the subsistence of the whole army during its advance rested in a great measure on Major Hawks, and could not have been more successfully accomplished. Colonel J. E. Johnson was placed in charge of the pickets on the Shenandoah, covering my flank and rear during the attack on Winchester, and I rested secure in that respect, trusting to his experience, judgment and coolness.

fleet for sixty-seven days. But in 1863, while the siege lasted only forty-seven days, there came a sterner presence moved by a mightier power. Pemberton had no cause to complain of his little army, with which were seven regiments of Louisiana troops and several artillery organizations. Below is a roll of death, which Louisiana, deprived of brave sons by wounds received during the siege, signed in tears with her blood on July 4, 1863. Officers reported killed: Third Louisiana, Capt. J. E. Johnson, John Kinney, Lieut. A. S. Randolph; Twenty-first Louisiana, Capt. J. Ryan, Lieut. G. H. Mann; Twentysecond Louisiana, Capt. F. Gomez, Lieut. R. E. Lehman; Twenty-sixth Louisiana, Maj.

ng into the basin. The fronts of some five or six freight cars and flats were also broken, and rendered worthless until repaired. Iron bumpers were crushed, heavy bolts snapped, and massive wood beams crushed with apparently the greatest facility. Owing to the reprehensible habit of jumping on the cars while in motion, indulged in by some people here, two persons will probably lose their lives. A young man named Totty, whose parents are said to reside on Brook Avenue, and who belongs to Johnson's artillery company, had ensconced himself in one of the cars for the sake of a ride, had both of his legs badly broken below the knees, and was borns into the framed tenement below the Spotswood House, where his wounds were dressed. He was conveyed home suffering terribly. A lad named Joseph Lowry, who had taken passage on the platform of the rear car, was thrown between two of them when the collision took place, and had both of his legs cut off below the knees. His skull was also fract

Engagement at Coal Harbor. In the fight on Friday, Johnson's Battery, of this city, occupied an exposed position on the Coal Harbor road, about one mile from Coal Harbor, and was subjected to a fire remarkable for its accuracy, which (as an eye witness informs us) the command encountered without flinching Capt. Johnson was conspicuous for his bravery throughout the period in which his battery was engaged, and our informant says that not an inch of ground would have been yielded while a man remained to serve the guns, had not Gen. Lee, observing the deadly effect of the enemy's fire, ordered them to withdraw from the contest. The casualties, both in men and horses, were heavy. Among the sad incidents of the battle may be mentioned the death of Lieut. W. Eugene Webster, of Maryland, chief

Col. Tennant Lomax. This gallant officer, it will be remembered, fell while leading his regiment, the Third Alabama, in the battle of Seven Pines, on the 31st of May. His remains were buried on the field, and were not found by his friends until a few days ago, when they were disinterred and brought to this city. The regiment last evening escorted the body of their esteemed commander to the Petersburg whence it will be forwarded to his late-home Alabama. Similar honors were paid to the remains of Capt, and Adjutant Johnson, of the same regiment to killed to the battle of Seven Pines and interred the field.
