hemselves a little longer, until reinforcements or ammunition could reach them. Jackson smiled rarely. He may have smiled, for aught we know, at this. At 3 p. m., a Virginia brigade reinforced the First Louisiana. The result was a prompt distribution to each man of twenty rounds of cartridges. Thus was fought the picturesque Battle of the Rocks, and fought to victory. The loss of Starke's brigade during August was reported at 65 killed and 288 wounded. Among the killed was Lieut.-Col. R. A. Wilkinson, of the Fifteenth. The losses of Hays' brigade, reported in more detail were, at Bristoe and Manassas Junction, 17 killed and 70 wounded; on August 29th, 37 killed and 94 wounded, including Lieutenants Sawyer and Healy killed. On September 1st, Hays' brigade, under Colonel Strong, fought at Ox Hill, near Chantilly, and suffered a loss of 33 killed, including Lieut. W. W. Marsh, Fifth, and 99 wounded. The Washington artillery, fresh from its successful engagement with the ene

He affirmed that these were not the only instances of a like character that could be adduced in justification of his opposition to the bill, and closed by declaring it to be his sincere belief that if the disposition to interfere with the rights of the States exhibited by that Congress was persisted in, the Constitutional Union formed by the fathers would be lost forever. Mr. Wilkinson, of Minnesota, said that if Mr. Carlile's argument had been addressed to the Committee on Territories, of which they were both members, he would never have assented to the admission of West Virginia. Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, thought it in every point of view inopportune to attempt to force Western Virginia at that time as a separate State into the Union, and trusted that the bill might not pass.

rlborough and Wellington. And last, but not least, General Grant, to whom Mr. Roosevelt referred above, speaks of these soldiers in his Memoirs as the men who had fought so bravely, so gallantly and so long for the cause which they believed in. I might add a thousand similar commendations from those who fought us, but 1 cannot consume more of your time. If you have not done so, I advise you by all means to procure and read The Recollections of a Private, by a Northern soldier named Wilkinson, who was in the Army of the Potomac duing Grant's campaign from the Rapidan to Petersburg, and describes, in a most entertaining and thrilling way, his experiences in that army. Without intending it at all, I believe, and only telling in his own style, the way in which that army was organized, controlled, and fought, his recitals are a panegyric on the Army of Northern Virginia and the glorious leaders of that army. The London Index has this to say of our army and our people: Le

Orders were received last night to put the mortar boats immediately into condition for service. Northern Congress news. In the Senate on the 24th, the credentials of Robert Wilson, appointed Senator from Missouri, to fill the vacancy caused by the expulsion of the traitor Trusten Polk, were presented. The loyalty of Mr. Wilson having been questioned, Mr. Wilkinson moved to refer the credentials and certain other papers to the Judiciary Committee. Messrs. Davis and Pomeroy, however, testified that Mr. Wilson was a good Union man, whereupon the motion to refer was withdrawn, and Mr. Wilson having taken the customary oath, took his seat. Delegates assembled at Great Salt Lake City on the 22d of January, and drew up a State constitution, to be submitted to Congress. Utah demands admission into the Union.

After firing over 200 rounds of shell and rifle, they passed up the river out of range of the guns at the fort, we having fired the first and last gun. Our flag waved gloriously throughout the engagement; not a man was killed in the fort, and only three wounded, vix: Capt. Thomas E. Branch, Capt. of White's Artillery, from Dinwiddie county; Privates Henry P. Peterson, R. A. Wilkinson, of the same company. Capt Branch was badly wounded in the right thigh, the others only slightly in the face — all from the same shell, which bursted in the fort. Vidette John Hancock, of Surry Cavalry, had his horse killed under him at the entrance of the fort, but did not receives scratch himself, (a wonderful escape.) There was no damage done the fort. Captain J. M. Maury, (Captain of the fort,) during the entire engagement of three hours and a half, was as cool and collected
