regiment. Since that time he has not only carried his drum, but also the bowie-knife referred to above, and a musket. In the memorable battle of the 21st July, he deserted his drum, and, with musket in hand, followed the regiment throughout the battle. Several days after the battle, while strolling through the woods, he discovered the hiding-place of what he thought a Yankee, and on reporting it, went down with several of the regiment, and captured three of the creatures--one of them Col. Wood of the Fourteenth Brooklyn. In every scene of danger or of difficulty, old Dick has accompanied the regiment with bowie-knife by his side and musket in hand. When on picket duty at Mason's Hill, in sight of the enemy, he would go beyond the picket-lines to get a fair crack at the Yankee pickets. In fine, old Dick, we believe, is a gentleman and true patriot, and we feel sorry that his knife, around which clung so many proud associations to him, should have been taken from him. He valued

ng could communicate with the right of the army. When this was done I was ordered to move to the east side of the Franklin pike and connect with the left of General Wood's (Fourth) corps. This was done without material damage, though the enemy opened on us from two batteries on Overton Hill. Immediately upon getting my command into position, I reported the fact to General Wood, who said he was about to make a charge, and desired me to support his left. At about three o'clock P. M. his command started, and after they had proceeded about forty yards, I moved the left regiment. The Twelfth United States colored infantry was obliged to move about eighe briar thicket on the left, which it could not penetrate. After passing this thicket it was my intention to halt the command, until I could see what was on General Wood's left, and how it would be best to charge the works. The deploying of the Twelfth regiment at double quick caused the other regiments to think that a charge

Stanley, having been wounded in the conflict at Franklin, on the thirtieth November, and having received a leave of absence on account of his wound, relinquished, and I assumed, command of the corps on the second of December. So soon as I had assumed command of the corps, I placed it in position as follows, in conformity with orders received from the commanding General of the forces in the field in person: The left of the corps rested on the Casino, and, extending westward across the Granny White and Hilsboro pike, the right rested on the left of the detachment of the Army of the Tennessee (Major-General A.

e examination, I am satisfied that we have there an inexhaustible mine of wealth. Leaving the timber out of the question, a large quantity of which is now being shipped to Europe, its mineral resources are unlimited, and are naturally located under the most favorable auspices. All that is requisite for their development is energy and enterprise. Were you to give them yor personal attention, the question would immediately present itself, why have they remained so long concealed? In Wood, Ritchie, Harrison, Taylor, Preston and other counties that might be enumerated, there are inexhaustible bodies of iron ore and coal laying almost contiguous, but for the want of the necessary means of transportation, they are comparatively useless. Iron could be manufactured as cheap, if not cheaper, in many of our western counties, than in any other section of the United States. Such, at present, is the want of facilities for bringing it into market, that it is impossible to compete w
