he 29th of June, 1831, and is consequently now only a little over 33 years of age. He graduated at West Point in the class of 1853, and was assigned to duty in the 4th infantry, in California, where he served twenty-two months. In July, 1855, he was transferred to the 2d cavalry, commanded by the late General (then Colonel) Albert Sidney Johnston, and of which Gen. R. E. Lee was Lieutenant Colonel. In the winter of 1855-'56 he entered upon the frontier service in Western Texas, where, in the July following, he was wounded in a spirited engagement with the Indians. He continued in the service of the U. States, and a short time previous to the beginning the present war was ordered to report for duty at West Point as instructor of cavalry. At his own request, however, he was allowed to return to duty in Texas, being desirous of casting his destinies with that portion of the country to which he was most devotedly attached.

Among the officers reported killed in this engagement were Col. Lamar and Lieut. Col. Van Volkenburg, of the 61st Georgia regiment; Maj. Hambrey, of the 12th Georgia battalion; Capt Lowther, of the 26th Georgia regiment; and Lieut. George Hobson, of the Amherst (Va.) Artillery. From Georgia. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston took leave of the Army of Tennessee on the 18th, and issued to his late command a farewell address which is remarkable for its good taste. Gen. Hood accepted the command, and in his address to the troops tells them that he relies upon their prowess to wrest the country from the grasp of the invader, entitling themselves "to the proud distinction of being called the deliverers of an oppressed people."

He served with distinction on the Peninsula, and so rapid was his promotion that on the 30th of September he received the commission of Colonel of Infantry, and was placed in command of the Fourth Regiment of Texas Volunteers, then in camp near this city. Subsequently the Fourth and Fifth Texas Regiments were organized into a Brigade, and on the 3d of March, 1862, Col. Hood was appointed to the command. Thus within the brief space of ten months and seventeen days he rose from the rank of First Lieutenant to that of Brigadier. At the battle of Chickamauga, as in every other battle in which he was engaged, General Hood bore a prominent part, and was so severely wounded in the right leg as to render amputation necessary. For signal courage displayed on that hard fought field, he was made Lieutenant-General. As soon as he had sufficiently recove

d we hear throughout the day, and the Maryland campaign having come to an end, our citizens had no better theme for discussion than the probability of the death of Grant. This report was revived by the statement of a Confederate officer that the flags on the Yankee shipping in James river were at half mast, and the same assertion was made by a soldier who arrived yesterday from Howlett's.--This, however, may have been in consequence of the death of some officer of less note than Grant. It was currently reported last evening that a Yankee deserter, who was brought to the city, affirmed that the Chief of the Army of the Potomac had certainly departed this life; but some proof beyond the assertion of a straggling Yankee is necessary to convince us of the fact. Of one thing, however there is no doubt — Grant is keeping very quiet, if he is not dead, and has apparently entirely changed his reckless policy of hard and stubborn fighting, and exposing his men to the dangers of Confederate
