Captain Db Kay's Exploit.--One of the neatest exploits of the Norfolk campaign was performed by Capt. Drake De Kay, of Gen. Mansfield's staff, while awaiting the General's arrival at a house called Moore's Ranch, a kind of summer hotel kept by a man named Moore, at Ocean View, the place of debarkation. All the white men and most of the women of this vicinity had fled — it was said by those they had left behind, to the woods, to prevent being forced into the rebel service. Captain De Kay, while supper was being prepared, mounted his horse and determined to explore the country, followed only by his negro servant. As he was passing a swamp toward evening, he came suddenly upon seven of the secession troops, who were lurking by the roadside, and were armed with double-barrelled guns. The Captain turned and shouted to his (imaginary) company to prepare to charge, and then riding forward rapidly, revolver in hand, told the men they were his prisoners, as his cavalry would soon be upon

vindicate the right; Bid your sons from field and town, Through summer's smile and winter's frown Make ready for the fight. Now that you have drawn the sword, Throw away the useless sheath, Hear your destiny's award-- Drive the invaders from your sward, Or lay your heads beneath. In the field with conflict rife, None must falter, yield, or fly; Honor, liberty, and life, All are staked upon the strife, You must “do or die.” Let your daughters shed no tear, Though their dearest may be slain; None for self must hope or fear, All with joy their burdens bear, Till you are free again. By the consecrated soil Where your Washington had birth, Keep your homes from ruthless spoil, Keep your shield from spot or soil, Or perish from the earth. New-Albany, Indiana, April 28, 1863. Mr. Frank Moore, Editor rebellion record: The inclosed is a genuine rebel ode, which came to my hands last year. It seems to have more merit than most of their productions. Very respectfully, F. Wills

llery was reduced to four batteries of four guns each; two of three-inch Rodmans, and two of twelve-pounder Napoleons, under charge of Major J. A. Reynolds, Chief of Artillery. The horses were increased to eight to a carriage. The Ninth Illinois infantry, (mounted,) Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes commanding, joined the command on the second day, and remained with it through to Savannah, and performed excellent service throughout. One battalion of the Fifty-eighth Indiana volunteers, Lieutenant-Colonel Moore commanding, with pontoon train, was also attached to the corps, and was very useful during the march. On the morning of the fifteenth November, the corps marched from Atlanta, taking the road east through Decatur. We encamped on the fifteenth near the Georgia Railroad, south of Stone Mountain; on the evening of the sixteenth, near Rock Bridge Post-Office; on the seventeenth, near Cornish Creek; on the eighteenth, three miles west of Madison.

Suffering from eutenants McClintic arid Larew, of company E; Captain Coyner and Lieutenants Cabell, Paxton, and Moore, company F; Captain Rowan, Lieutenants Pack and Shanklin, company A; Captain Johnston, Lieutenanthese companies, thus disposed, I placed the six remaining companies, viz., Captains Harrison's, Moore's, Cox's, Henagan's, Hawthorn's, and Hadden's,--all the Captains being present and in command ofhile nobly leading his company through the charge. He had sixteen men killed on the field. Captains Moore and Hadden, who passed through unscathed, were distinguished for their coolness and bravery dience to orders from General Wright, I proceeded, with the second section of the battery, (Lieutenant Moore,) to the extreme right of the line, to report to Colonel Doles, Fourth Georgia volunteers,

By order of Colonel Ronald, commanding, the brigade was moved to the front. Almost immediately afterward, a regiment of the enemy appeared on the other side of the field. This regiment, though supported by others in the wood, fled after a short resistance, and the Second regiment, with the Fourth and Fifth, drove the enemy through the wood they occupied. Finding no enemy in the front, and that the right wing of the brigade was pressed, the Second regiment was ordered to its support, Captain Moore, of company I, being left with a strong company to scout the wood and prevent surprise. Joining the right wing, the enemy was driven again from position, and followed till night rendered pursuit dangerous. I cannot too highly commend the conduct of the officers and men of my command, and though exposed for some hours to the enemy's fire, providentially no one was killed, and but seven wounded. See list below. Respectfully, Lawson Botts, Lieutenant-Colonel, commanding. list

Lieutenant-Colonels Skinner and Marye, at Manassas Plains, where they were both severely wounded. Major Walker, at Thoroughfare Gap and Manassas Plains. In the latter engagement, this gallant officer was mortally wounded. It is with no common feeling that I recount the loss, at Manassas Plains, of Colonels Gadberry, Eighteenth South Carolina, Means, Seventeenth South Carolina, Moore, Second South Carolina, Glover, First South Carolina, Nelson, Seventh Georgia, and Lieutenant-Colonel Upton, Fifth Texas. At Boonsboroa, Colonel J. B, Strange, Nineteenth Virginia volunteers, and Lieutenant-Colonel McLemore, Fourth Alabama, and, at Sharpsburg, Colonel Liddell, Eleventh Mississippi.

ured large quantities of small arms, ammunition, mails, and other public property, and the steamers Ellen and Cornie, which were of great service to us in the campaign. A letter from General Taylor, commanding at Fort Bisland, was captured with an officer of the Queen of the west, which informed us that the enemy had contemplated an attack upon our forces at Brashear City on the twelfth of April, the day before the assault was made by us upon Fort Bisland; and a subsequent despatch from Governor Moore to General Taylor was intercepted by General Dwight, in which Taylor was directed, in case he was pursued beyond Alexandria, to fall back into Texas with such of his forces as he could keep together. The purpose of the enemy in retreating,up the Teche was to draw off toward Texas, on our left flank, for the purpose of cutting off our supplies by the Teche. But the capture of Butte á la Rose, enabled us to open a new line of communication, through the Atchafalaya and Courtableu, direct

Taliaferro, assistant adjutant-general, Captain Moore, inspector-general, and Major T. S. Taliaferro, volunteer aid-de-camp, and to call attention to the excellent arrangements made for the comfort of the wounded by Surgeon Coleman, medical director of division. I enclose a list of killed andmy. The exalted courage, enthusiasm, and chivalric daring of its commanding officer are always guarantees of its good success. Lieutenants Elliott and Fishburn, of this company, were wounded, gallantly discharging their duty. Captains Pulliam, Moore, Cunningham, Graham, and Lieutenants Maxwell, Brown, Perry, and Wallace, commanding companies, and their lieutenants, all acted with conspicuous bravery, and deserve my thanks for their hearty cooperation. It is useless to mention individual ins

the rear of the train was passing the furnace, a large force of the enemy advanced from Chancellorsville and attempted its capture. General Jackson had left the Twenty-third Georgia regiment, under Colonel Best, at this point, to guard his flank; and upon the approach of the enemy Lieutenant-Colonel J. T. Brown, whose artillery was passing at the time, placed a battery in position, to aid in checking his advance. A small number of men who were marching to join their commands, including Captain Moore, with his two companies of the Fourteenth Tennessee regiment, of Archer's brigade, reported to Colonel Brown, and supported his guns. The enemy was kept back by this small force until the train had passed, but his superior numbers enabled him subsequently to surround and capture the greater part of the Twenty-third Georgia regiment. General Anderson was directed to send a brigade to resist the further progress of this column, and detached General Posey for that purpose. General Posey b
