Johnson's; Woolfolk's; Dearborn's—（5）—the assignment of which I do not know. This gives a total of forty-seven batteries in the Second Manassas campaign, and of thirty-one added afterwards, or seventy-eight in all. A report of General Pendleton in regard to the reorganization of the artillery, dated October 2, 1862, (page 569, vol. VI, Confederate Reports, as republished at Washington,) states that there were then attached to the army seventy-two batteries, exclusive of Stribling's and Bondurant's, which had been sent to the rear; but he includes, apparently, in this number, three companies of Brown's regiment (Wyatt's, Ritter's, and Young's), left at Richmond. If this be so, he had but seventy-one batteries, counting Stribling and Bondurant. The excess above may, in some cases, be due to counting the same company twice under different names, or to the fact that companies not present at all are enumerated. Will old artillery officers please correct the errors they

The organization of that department was defective in consequence of the appointment of incompetent officers and assistants. Men who were afraid to expose their hides to the enemy's bullets obtained through favoritism lucrative positions in the department of subsistence, hence the disastrous consequences. That the reader may comprehend some of the difficulties that beset the artillery branch of the service, I copy the following communications of Captain John B. Rowan: Headquarters Rowan's battery, near Kingston, Ga., Jan'y 28, 1864. Major,—On my return from furlough I found the stock of my battery affected with
