stones at the word. The company, the regiment —even other commands of the brigade—followed with more stone, pelting the enemy savagely in their faces, with good aim. Excellent work was done with these rocks—a work certified to by both pelters and pelted. Some of the enemy crawled up the bank and voluntarily surrendered themselves to escape the deadly stoning. By this time the men had warmed to the work. A fresh assault of the Federals, in formidable array, came up to the railroad. Major Barney, commanding the Twentyfourth New York, rode gallantly up to the very bank, on a fine bay horse. As he came close to it, and the horse had planted his four hoofs squarely on the embankment, the major was shot through the heart. Stone pelting had swiftly turned tragical. At his fall, his command became demoralized and fled in confusion. The bay, half dazed by the clamor, was finally captured. He was ridden by Lieutenant-Colonel Nolan, and remained with that brave soldier until his dea<

sped on her way to aid her powerful friend. The Confederate vessels in James river formed in line ahead as they approached the batteries at Newport News. The Patrick Henry, 10, Commander Tucker, leading; next came the Jamestown, 2, Lieutenant-Commanding Barney; and next the Teaser, 2, Lieutenant-Commanding Webb. The Virginia reached the scene of action first; amidst the iron hail which fell harmlessly on her armour, she ran into and sank the Cumberland; a hearty cheer from the James river vd discipline of the crew that the fire from the Patrick Henry did not slacken, but went on as regularly as before the damage. As the vessel was drifting towards the enemy, the jib was hoisted to pay her head around, and the Jamestown, Lieutenant-Commanding Barney, gallantly and promptly came to her assistance and towed her from her perilous position. The engineers soon got one boiler to work, the other was so badly damaged that they were unable to repair it at the time, and with the steam of o

teries; the manufacture of the plantinum or quantity fuse, which alone was used in the electrical defences around Richmond, and in those at Charleston. The department was completely organized before the 1st of January, 1863, both in personnel and material, and occupied nine well-constructed stations on the James River alone, connected by telegraph, and with the office of the Secretary of the Navy. The effective work of this organization consisted in the partial destruction of the Commodore Barney, a gunboat, and the loss of many lives in August, 1863, and the complete destruction of the Commodore Jones, a large gunboat, and nearly all her crew in May, 1864. These were the first vessels ever injured in war by any system of electrical defences. In a long letter from the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Mallory, to me after the war, he says: The destruction of the Commodore Jones, the leading vessel of Admiral Lee's fleet, which was ascending the James river to co-operate with Gene

great contest ended. Appended is a partial list, so far as can be recalled, of this famous and useful organization.

ilar vessel, at Halifax, N. C. No one has yet been ordered to the Virginia here. She will soon be ready for her officers and is perhaps the best and most reliable ironclad in the service. If you were not on more important duty, I am inclined to believe that you would have command of her. Captain Matthew Maury writes to me, under date of January 21st, that we have nothing to look for from England that money can't buy. His letter is rather gloomy in its tone. Charley Morris has the Florida, Barney being sick. William L. Maury had asked to be relieved from the Georgia on the score of ill health. Bulloch is still doing good service in England and France. Bob Carter lately brought the navy steamer Coquette into Wilmington with a cargo composed of two fine marine engines, etc. He goes out in her again to Bermuda. Maffit commands the blockade (runner) Florrie, but I see by a late Northern paper that he had to put into Halifax, N. S., for repairs. Murdaugh at last accounts was in Paris

acked Drewry's Bluff the Confederates had but few heavy guns mounted, compared to what were in position three months later, but the river was so strongly blockaded that it was almost impossible for the fleet to pass by, if they silenced the guns on the bluff. The obstructions consisted of rows of piles and stone, filled in between, and extending out from each side of the river to the channel, leaving an opening for the Confederate gunboats to pass through. The day before the battle, Captain Barney, of the Jamestown received orders from the Navy Department to sink the ship in the open of the obstructions. The Jamestown was put in the passage way of piles, and all hands received orders to leave the ship and go on the Bluff, except myself, who was assistant engineer, and midshipman D. M. Lee, a brother of Fitz Lee. Mr. E. Manning, chief engineer, gave me orders to sink the ship, which I did by taking out the plug of the sea-cock. Midshipman D. M. Lee and myself remained on board

ndition, she ran aground near the bar in front of Hill's Point. The Confederates, perceiving her situation, immediately brought forward some field-pieces, which they placed in a small work in process of construction at that point, and began to riddle her with shot at a distance of seven hundred and fifty yards. She would inevitably have been destroyed, in spite of the vigor with which Lamson defended himself, if Lieutenant Cushing had not come in time to his assistance with the steamer Commodore Barney. For the space of four hours these two vessels, as also the river-boat Stepping-Stones, held out against the Confederate artillery and skirmishers until the tide enabled the Mount Washington to get free and resume her course. Cushing did not join her again until after he had silenced the enemy's guns. But this engagement was very costly to the Federal vessels, which were greatly damaged by the projectiles of the Confederates, and had a large number of wounded on board. On the follo

n this continent was made this afternoon upon the parade grounds, one mile cast of the Capitol. There were two thousand cavalry and eight batteries of artillery in line. Each battery consisted of six pieces, making forty-eight cannon in line. About an equal proportion of 32-pound howitzers, Parrot rifled cannon, James's rifled cannon, and Napoleon guns, constituted the character of the ordnance. The cavalry was under the command of Gen. Stoneman, and the artillery under the command of Gen. Barney, both aids to Gen. McClellan, and detailed to the several services named. The whole was reviewed by Major General McClellan at four o'clock. The General was accompanied by Gen. Van Vleet, Quartermaster of the Department of the Potomac, Inspector Gen. Marcy, Capt. Sykes, and Capt. Hudson, of Gen. McClellan's staff, Gen. Mansfield and staff, Gen. and staff, Gen. Fitzjohn Porter, Gen. Meigs, Gen. Keyes, Gen. Smith, Gen. Blenker and staff, including Prince Salm Salm and the Prince de Joinvil
