lliamson's and Perkins's cavalry were again in the saddle, skirmishing with the enemy all day. The following is the order in which the advance was made: Eighth Vermont, Colonel Thomas, extreme right; One Hundred and Fourteenth New-York, Colonel E. B. Smith, right centre; One Hundred and Sixtieth New-York, Lieut.-Colonel Van Patten, left centre; Twelfth Connecticut, Lieutenant-Colonel Peck, left wing. Williamson's First Louisiana cavalry was in the extreme advance, closely followed by skirmiand beyond an occasional stray musket-shot and the capture of a few prisoners, nothing important occurred. The cavalry were supported by the One Hundred and Sixtieth New-York, and the gunboat Clifton sent for. By General Weitzel's orders, Colonel E. B. Smith placed a guard over the houses and plantations. The sugar-houses and out-buildings were filled with sugar, corn, and molasses. The advance was now very rapid, the Clifton ahead, occasionally shelling the woods. Many of the families of t

What a set of men we would have had after the war out of which to form an Ordnance Department, had we been successful! Rains, St. John, Mallet, Burton, Wright, White, Baldwin, Rhett, Ellicott, Andrews, Childs, DeLagnel, Hutter, and others, who would have remained in the service. Then there were some no less admirable, like LeRoy Broun, Allan, Wiley Browne, Morton, Colston, Bayne, Cuyler, E. B. Smith, &c., who would doubtless have returned to their civil avocations. Among the obvious necessities of a well-regulated service, was one large, central laboratory, where all ammunition should be made—thus securing absolute uniformity where uniformity was vital. The policy of dissemination so necessary to husband our transportation, and to utilize the labor of non-combatants, must here yield to the greater necessity of obtaining our ammunition uniform in quality and in dimensions.

mpany of our cavalry. I, however, did not recover my horse, which had been taken by the enemy. I, therefore, had to proceed as best I could—part of the way on foot—and arrived at Williamsport during the afternoon of the 5th ulto. I there saw General Imboden and informed him again, as I had done at Cashtown the previous day, that my horses were in bad condition, and asked him if he could furnish me with more horses, as I thought I might need assistance. He said he had already directed Colonel Smith, commanding a regiment of infantry belonging to his command, and then not far from the rear of the wagon train, to take charge of them and turn over to the artillery and wagons all the serviceable led-horses in the train. The horses in the wagon train of this battalion, which had arrived, were not in condition at this time to assist in bringing up the artillery, but the next morning I directed that all the serviceable horses in our camp should be at once sent to aid in bringing up the

half a million sterling—the very best proof of his fitness for his place and of a financial ability which supplemented the narrowness of Mr. Memminger's purse. General Gorgas had an admirable Staff of Officers, among them such men as. Major Smith Stansbury, Colonel G. W. Rains, Colonel LeRoy Broun, Colonel J. W. Mallett, T. A. Rhett, Snowden Andrews, Wright, White, Burton, De Lagnel, General St. John, Colonels Morton and Ellicott, Colonels B. G. Baldwin, William Alan, J. Wilcox Browne, E. B. Smith, Cuyler, Colston and others no less distinguished during the war than they have been in after life. These officers were in constant personal contact with their Chief, and all of them give testimony as to his great ability as an officer—his devotion to duty and his tact and kind consideration for them, and all of his subordinates. It was wonderful to witness the admiration and esteem which the workmen in the shops exhibited for him. Perfectly gentle and quiet in his manners, and withou

y Mr. Haynes, the Senate adjourned. House of Representatives. The House met at the usual hour. Prayer by the Rev. Dr. Hoge. The Speaker laid before the House the bill to allow newspapers to be mailed to soldiers free of postage, with the message of the President vetoing the same and the proceedings of the Senate thereon, that body having passed the bill over the veto by the requisite two-thirds vote. The constitutional question raised by the President was discussed by Messrs. Smith, of North Carolina; Staples and Baldwin, of Virginia, and Boyce, of South Carolina, in favor of the passage of the bill over the veto of the President, and Mr. Sexton, of Texas, in support of the position taken by the Executive. The question being ordered on the passage of the bill, the objections of the President to the contrary notwithstanding, was decided in the affirmative — yeas, 63; nays, 13. So the bill is now a law without the President's approval. Mr. Goode, of Virgin
