e Fourth, unmindful of his former dreadful wound, using his sabre with effect in hand-to-hand conflict, and the imperturbable, self — possessed Major Breckenridge, of the Second, whose boldness led him so far that he was captured, his horse being shot. Colonel T. L. Munford of the Second, I regret to say, was President of a Court-Martial in Culpeper Courthouse, and did not know of the action in time to join his command until the fight was nearly over. I also commend for their behavior, Captain Tebbs, of the Second, and Captain Litchfield and Lieutenant Dorsey, of the First; also Major W. A. Morgan, of the First. My personal staff, Major Mason, Captains Ferguson and Bowling, Dr. J. B. Fontaine, and Lieutenants Lee, Ryals, and Minnegerode rendered great service by their accurate and quick transmission of orders, and by their conduct under fire. Surgeon Fontaine's horse was killed under him, and my own was also shot; but through the generosity of Private Jno. H. Owings, Company K,
oughfare, and Gainesville, which he approved, and directed me to select guides, which I did from Captain Adams's company, Sixth Virginia cavalry, and to direct the front division, in person, at dawn on the following morning. Finding General Ewell's division the most advanced, I conducted it through Amissville, and crossed the Rappahannock at Hinson's Mill. Soon after crossing the river, I was ordered by General Jackson to take a portion of the Black Horse cavalry, Captain Randolph, and Captain Tebbs's company Second Virginia cavalry, and advance to Salem, which place I reached, via Orleans and Hume Run Church, about four P. M., without encountering any portion of the enemy's forces. Later in the evening, Colonel Munford came up, with the Second Virginia cavalry, and we spent the night in the town, the advance of the infantry encamping a mile south of the town. Early on the morning of the twenty-sixth, General Ewell moved forward, followed by A. P. Hill and Taliaferro, passing th

hey chose. The following order, now in my possession, was received: headquarters Department S. W. Va. & E. T., Christiansburg, Va., April 12th, 1865. The artillery of this department having been this day disbanded, Major R. C. M. Page, Chief of Artillery, and Lieutenant J. H. Cochran, his adjutant, are hereby permitted to join any command they may select. By order Brigadier-General John Echols. J. Stoddard Johnston, A. A. G. Lieutenant Cochran and myself went to the house of Mr. Tebbs, in Christiansburg, and got something to eat. We gave him as pay our mess-chest and cooking utensils, consisting of one skillet and a few iron knives and forks, tin plates, etc. When we got back to camp, General Echols and most of his command had already departed, with the purpose of joining General Joseph E. Johnston. We then determined to return to Northern Virginia and join Mosby, but learning on the way that Johnston had also surrendered, we went to our respective homes, he to Loudoun

own. All are now united to defend the honor and interests of our beloved State. By order of Gen. Harman, the Rockbridge Rifles (Capt. Letcher) left today at 1 o'clock for Staunton. They number near 100 able-bodied men. This evening the Rockbridge Troop, (Capt. White,) 80 strong, leave for Staunton, and the Troop in the lower end of our county, (Capt. McNutt,) goes with them. Fervent and patriotic prayers were offered, as the "Rifles" were about to march off. by Rev. Dr. McFarland and Rev. Mr. Tebbs. The Lexington Presbytery is in session in this place. Rev. Dr. Junkin, President of Washington College, resigned his position to-day. His resignation was immediately received by the Trustees. The flag of the Southern Confederacy had been raised by the students. This act was objected to by the President, but acquiesced in by the other members of the Faculty, and produced the rupture. The whole military force of the county, also the corps of Cadets, are waiting to receiv
ngs. Mrs. Judge Hopkins, of Alabama, has presented a noble example for the emulation of her countrywomen. She, is untiring in her zeal, and has just visited Manassas to organize, if possible, a hospital, properly attended by nurses. We trust that our own daughters of Virginia, near whose homes the battles must be fought, will combine to institute efficient and practical measures for the benefit of our gallant volunteers. We are informed that a society is just organized in King William, of which Mrs. E. H. Tebbs is President and Mrs. B. J. Lewis, Vice President. They will make clothing and render any assistance in their power to the soldiers. A Burke is Secretary of the Society — his address, "Acquinton, King William county." Such societies may do a great deal of good. They should endeavor to organize an active and efficient system in the State, at least in the vicinity of the seats of war, as far as possible to supply the wants and relieve the sufferings of the volunteer.
Compliment to the South Carolinians. --We learn from the London Mirror that the ladies of Leesburg, Va., on Thursday week, presented a beautiful flag to the 4th Regiment. S. C. V. The presentation was accompanied by an appropriate speech from Col. Tebbs, and was acknowledged by the Regiment through Mr. Clevelend. Capt. Wilkes also, in response to loud calls, spoke gracefully and eloquently on the occasion.
r telegraphic advices have since it at three hundred in killed and wounded. This, however, is not comparable to the loss of the enemy. We have at this time no particulars except that Col. Burt, of the 18th Mississippi, was badly wounded, and Col. Tebbs, for what regiment is not stated, slightly. Our informant saw 300 Yankee prisoners marching by, and upwards of 200 more were captured. These men reported that at least 300 of their comrades were drowned while attempting to recross the Potomacyesterday morning. Later. Among the casualties on our side were the following: Lieut. Benjamin G. Carter, 8th Virginia, slightly wounded. Privates Hatcher and of the same regiment, killed.--Majors Martin and Brock, thought to be of Mississippi, badly wounded. Col. Burt's wound, though severe, is not considered mortal. Col. Tebbs is Lieut. Col. of the 8th Virginia. The First Company of Howitzers were not in the fight, no artillery having been engaged on our side.
