day. Lieut.-Col. Hurd, just recovering from the effects of wounds received in our skirmish at La Vergne, added to the laurels he had earned at Shiloh. Col. Reed of the Seventy-ninth Illinois, was killed at the head of his regiment, but not till he had proved himself a brave and intrepid officer. Major Buckner then assumed command; and, by his good conduct, has well earned promotion. My staff-officers, Capt. Wagner, A. A.G., Capt. Beeler, A. C.S., (volunteer aid that day,) Captain Edsall, Ins. Gen., McElpatrick, Top. Eng., Lieuts. Walker and Baldwin, Aids, and Hewitt, Acting Brig. Surgeon, all have proved their efficiency too often and too long to need praise from me now, but my thanks are due to them for their intelligent and active assistance that day. Two of my orderlies, John Darstrin and Thomas Mar, remained by me under the fiercest fire. Darstrin's horse was killed under him and he severely wounded. They behaved nobly here as they did at Shiloh, and deserve commissions.

g, with fevered eyes, For sail or smoke from the Breton shore, Lest a land, so rudely wronged of yore, In flamy revenge should rise! Office at outcry!--ah! wretched Flam! Vile Farce of hammer and prate! Trade! bids Darby — and blood! smirks Pam-- Little ween they, each courtly Sham, Of the Terror lying in wait! Little wot of the web he spins, Their Tempter in purple, that darkly grins 'Neath his stony visor of state, O'er Seas, how narrow!--for, whoso wins, At yon base Auction of Outs and Ins, The rule of his Dearest Hate-- Her point once flashing athwart her Kin's, And the reckoning, ledgered for long, begins-- The galling Glories and envied Sins Shall buzz in a mesh-like fate! Ay, mate your meanest!--ye can but do That permitted — when Heaven would view How Wrong, self-branded, her rage must rue In wreck and ashes!--(such scene as you, If wise, shall witness afar)-- How Guilt, o'erblown, her crest heaves high, And dares the injured, with taunt, to try Ordeal of Fire in war-- Bl

bout 1 A. M. on July 18, Johnston in Winchester received a telegram. It is worthy of study as a model not to be followed in such cases. It was as follows — Richmond, July 17, 1861. Gen. Beauregard is attacked. To strike the enemy a decisive blow all of your effective force will be needed. If practicable, make the movement, sending your sick and baggage to Culpeper C. H. either by railroad or by Warrenton. In all the arrangements exercise your discretion. —S. Cooper, Adj't. and Ins. General. When Johnston came to make his report of the battle of Bull Run he wrote as follows of this message :— About one o'clock in the morning of July 18 I received from the Government a telegraphic despatch informing me that the northern army was advancing upon Manassas, then held by Gen. Beauregard, and directing me, if practicable, to go to that officer's assistance, after sending my sick to Culpeper C. H. In the exercise of discretion conferred by the terms of the order, I at o<

ion until the matter could be further examined into. The order was reiterated and insisted upon, as appeals by this telegram, dated Richmond, December 2d, 1862: The Secretary of War directs that commanding officers of arsenals are immediately responsible to the War Department, and not subject to arrest by the commanding generals, unless under extraordinary circumstances. Unless Major Childs's case be deemed such, he directs that the order of yesterday be executed. S. Cooper, A. and Ins.-Genl. General Beauregard thought he had been sufficiently clear in his explanation to the War Department. He would have nothing further to do with the matter; and the order was executed. Thus was the querulous freak of a subordinate officer openly upheld by the authorities at Richmond, regardless of the pernicious example set by such a precedent, and of the mortification it would bring upon a commanding general, whose only motive was to hurry up his arrangements to meet the threatene

mmander; Major Ely, and Lieutenant Estill, of my staff, were active and conspicuous in every part of the field. My thanks are due to Lieutenant Thompson, 2d Florida regiment, and Mr. Sterling Turner, volunteer aids, for their gallant service. The names of those in the ranks entitled to be particularly mentioned may be furnished in a subsequent report. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, A. H. Colquitt, Brig.-Genl. Charleston, S. C., March 1st, 1864. General Samuel Cooper, A. and Ins.-Genl., Richmond, Va.: General Beauregard left 28th ultimo for Florida. General Gardner, in command there, reports that General Gillmore is now in chief command; that he is being reinforced; has retired to Jacksonville, which he is fortifying; but appearances all indicate another attempt to advance in heavier force soon. Large number of transports reported at St. John's Bar with troops. We occupy Baldwin. Thomas Jordan, Chief of Staff. Telegram. Charleston, S. C., March 19th, 1864. G

Office New York Life Ins. Co., 112 and 114 Broadway, N. Y., Jan. 21, 1861. Charles E. Wortham, Esq., Richm'd: Dear Sir: From the tenor of several communications recently received, it appears that some of our Southern friends entertain the opinion, that in the event of a separation of the States, the policies issued by this and other companies in the Northern States will be repudiated. If, by any possibility, the legal contract could be annulled in such an unfortunate contingency, and which we emphatically deny, this company, and we believe all others, will fully recognize the moral obligation between their customers and themselves, faithfully and promptly to meet all honorable demands which can or may be made against them, without regard to locality, or political views or sentiments. In our business relations we know of no distinction between the North and South, and certainly shall not inquire, when a demand is made upon us, whether the deceased was a citizen of the Unit
