he morning. The boats engaged in the expedition were towed back by the steamers Ewing, Times, and Neafie. Of the Confederates a dozen or more were killed, and twenty-nine were wounded. The latter are now in the hospital at Pensacola. Among the killed are Capt. Bradford of Florida, and Lieut. Nelms of Georgia. The latter, an Adjutant of one of the Georgia regiments, died just as the boat on its return reached the wharf. A braver or more chivalric gentleman and soldier never breathed. Lieut. Sayre, a volunteer aid to Gen. Anderson, was shot through the hip. Some of our exhausted men were probably overlooked and left on the island. Major Vogdes, U. S. A., and some thirty other Federals, are prisoners in our hands. Lieut. Slaughter, of the Mobile Continentals, who was taken prisoner while bearing a white flag to Fort Pickens, has been released.--N.

g a gentleman distinguished alike in war and in letters. He was fortunate, also, in the selection of his theme, since he was to speak of the life and character of the great cavalry chief on whose staff he had personally served, and with whom he had witnessed and participated in the great battles of the Army of Northern Virginia. It gave him great pleasure to be able to introduce as orator of the evening, Major H. B. Mcclellan, late A. A. G. of the Cavalry Corps A. N. V., now president of Sayre Female College, Lexington Kentucky. Major McClelland was greeted with loud applause, which was frequently,repeated as he proceeded to deliver in graceful style the following Address. Mr. President, Comrades, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am honored in being permitted again to stand upon the soil of Old Virginia. My spirit has been stirred to its depths as I have received the greetings of comrades with whom I have stood side by side in the day of battle; and, as I look into your face

Gordon, in History of American Revolution, i. 157, quotes the letter as from Stephen Savre to Capt. Isaac Sears, of New-York. See, also, Joseph Reed to Charles Pettit, London, 11 June, 1764, in Reed's Life and Correspondence of Reed, i. 33.

troying every building, except the hospital; also destroying an immense quantity of rations, equipments, stores, and ammunition, and spiking their cannon. They effected a total destruction of the camp. The loss of the enemy was very great. The loss of the Confederates was forty killed and wounded. Capt. Bradford, of Florida, was killed; Lieut. Nelms, of Ga., killed; Walter Tuggle; of the Continentals, desperately wounded; John Burgess, killed; Gen. Anderson was wounded in the arm; Lieut. Sayre, wounded in the hip. This list is imperfect. It is impossible to get all the particulars. Our force engaged consisted of three companies of the 5th Georgia Regiment, fourteen members of the Mobile Continentals, three companies of regulars, a detachment of Mississippians, a detachment of Georgians, under Lieuts.

g remained at Fort tickens. All statements from our men who anticipated agree that they killed between two and three hundred of the Yankees. Our ss in killed and missing is forty, and thirty-five wounded, five of whom died yesterday.--ost of our losses in the skirmish are attribu- to cross firing, when our men were shooting at the Zouaves from opposite sides, and to their not being able to distinguish the badge their comrades in the darkness of the night, and shooting one another. Lieut. Sayre, when seen last, was on the each, in a wounded condition. His friends who had him in charge had carried him two three miles, and were finally compelled to have him to save themselves. He had requested them to do so previously, but they clung to him to the last moment, and then put a coat under his head for a pillow. He was shot in the thigh, and was much exhausted from leeding He fought gallantly as long as he should. It is supposed he was taken prisoner this helpless condition by t

fearful work among the foe. Handled with surpassing skill and unrivalled courage, checking and mowing down Sedgwick's men, after firing all except the last round of ammunition, bringing off everything in safety, even the dead bodies of their comrades, and in retreat after Marye's Heights were taken, giving the enemy a parthian shot, they have won a proud name for distinguished service on that memorable day. One incident deserves a record for imitation. A private in Carleton's battery (Sayre by name, I think,) seeing an enemy's shell with the fuse burning fall near his gun, pushed it off, to explode at the bottom of the redoubt, and thus doubtless saved the lives of several. Manly's North Carolina, and McCarthy's Richmond Howitzers, also did noble service in the various battles on our left. Tardy justice I see has been done to the important labors of the cavalry between Spotsylvania Comt House and the Catherine Furnace, driving back the enemy's cavalry, and thus enabling J
