Army correspondence. The Texas Brigade. On the Lines, June 2nd. To the Editors of the Dispatch: A modern philosopher, whose teachings are to be valued more for their worldly wisdom, perhaps, than for their classic antiquity, whose proverbs are more practical than poetic, used to get before his son as a perpetual monitor, for his intercourse with his fellow man, this injunction. "Slow your own horn." At the risk of bring numbered as of this school, I claim a short space in your columns.

Holmes very quickly learned to appreciate him. He was repeatedly tendered a General's commission, which he more than once modestly declined. He was earnestly pressed and urged by Gen. H. to accept it, and finally was prevailed upon. Under him the "First Brigade" soon became what his old regiment was — the crack brigade in the division. I doubt very much whether in organization and discipline it has its equal in the whole army. But for the fall of the General, the charge would have been a complete success, but with no leader, and in a perfect hail storm of shot and troops can be respected to hold up forever.

We entered the fight with an enemy fleeing before us, and had begun to think it a matter of course that he should fly when we presented ourselves.-- So he did, too, till he reached his entrenchments, and we, hot in pursuit, felt into an ambuscade. Which resulted disastrously. We marched from our camp on the Meadow Bridge road. Saturday morning. Wading through mud and water, we reached the field near Gen. Magruder's present headquarters, at about two o'clock, where we rested till five. The order "forward" was never halted by any troops with more welcome than by the 4th brigade at this time. Never was it obeyed with more spirit and alacrity. Whiting's brigade was ordered in advance of us. We followed as a reserve, but were made use of in the early part of the fight. After marching half a mile the brigade was put in the wood on the right of the Nine-Mile road and ordered to sweep them. Soon a m
