It was stationed for several months in the defences of Washington, under General Wadsworth, and remained there while the Army was on the Peninsula; but in August, 1862, the Fifty-ninth joined General McClellan's forces, which were then starting on their victorious Maryland campaign, and was assigned to Dana's (3d) Brigade, Sedgwick's (2d) Division, Sec

Your readers have already been apprised of the firing of the rebel cavalry upon the boat Izetta, as she was passing up the Kanawha loaded with United States horses and army stores, on the forenoon of October 11th. The firing occurred from the town of Winfield, in Putnam County, Va. As soon as intelligence of the firing was received by Colonel Piatt, at Camp Piatt, ten miles above Charleston, he ordered out five hundred men, under command of Lieut.-Col. Toland and Major Franklin, with directions to proceed immediately to Winfield, and there land the force and pursue the rebels. In one hour after the order was issued five hundred Zouaves, with all their arms and equipments, were on board the Silver Lake, making rapid headway down the Kanawha, and all eager to give the pirate rebels a taste of Gove

General,--I left Colonel Ferguson in Wayne county on the 25th ultimo, with indefinite orders and discretionary powers, and moved in the direction of the Kanawha river, along which stream I manoeuvred in the counties of Mason and Putnam until the 3d instant. I entered Winfield, Putnam Court-house, on the morning of the 3d instant, at 3 o'clock, with forty men and found a number of government officials there (whom I failed to secure) and a government steamer, with a strong gua

On March 18th General Jenkins started out from Jeffersonville with a part of his brigade on another brilliant raid across western Virginia, while McCausland made a demonstration against Fayetteville to distract the enemy, and Williams sent the Forty-fifth regiment to Raleigh. The major part of the Federal troops was now withdrawn under Cox to the army of Rosecrans. On March 27th, Jenkins reached Hurricane bridge, Putnam county, and summoned the garrison, mainly consisting of West Virginia Federals, to surrender. The demand being refused, a brisk fight ensued of several hours' duration, ending in Jenkins' withdrawal. On the 29th he reached Hall's landing just as the steamer Victress was passing, with a Federal paymaster on board. The pilot was signaled to touch for passengers, but just before it was too late he realized the situation and the boat escaped, riddled with bullets from the ambushed Confederates.

On the day of our organization we received orders to march to Laurel Hill to unite with General Garnett's command at that place, and on Sunday, the 7th July, left Richmond, by railroad, to Staunton. Reaching this latter place a little before day Monday morning, we remained encamped there until Tuesday morning, when the order came to strike our tents and take up the line of march for Laurel Hill, distant about one hundr

of the South. Pleasant camp scenes are daily witnessed here. For instance: The Glover Guard were drilling in the bayonet exercise; the drill officer Mr. Spilter a Frencliman and formerly Professor and Southern military school, who is said to be an expert, came on here with the companies from Georgia. Not far from the drill ground, which adjoined the Marine Barracks writen the vandals fired before their retreat are several tents occupied by the Brown Rafles, a Georgia company from Putnam county. This company had evidently been called from labor to refreshment-- though not exactly high twelve. Some were before their tents, others more exuberant to spirits were ramping, while an offer party were dancing to a gay air which one of the Briderschalt was playing on a violin. There was quite a gathering of ladies, who were enjoying the gay scene and diffusing increased interest by their presence and The young man, Wrenn, from Norfolk, who was pierced by a bayonet, and whose

A few votes were cast against secession, at other precincts, but these men or nearly all of them will sustain Virginia, now that the ordinance is ratified. I am credibly informed that, such, too, is the feeling in Kanawha. Those who there voted against the ordinance will resist invasion from the North. Dr. White, of Putnam county, arrived a few days since. At the Presbyterian Church, on Sunday morning, he manifested violent indications of insanity. For his own sake, he was removed to a well furnished apartment in our jail, where every attention was shown him by the kind family. Early this morning, after raving through the night, during which he would allow no one to remain in his room, he became suddenly quiet. On looking after him, he was found in a corner of the room, face to the floor. His bed was covered
