Gardner (search for this): article 1
Second Dragoons, in the United States army. This officer, though a Virginian by birth and education, (he is the brother of the late John R. Cooke, of this city,) preferred his rank to his duty, and remained in the old service, to moke war upon the Southern people. He is now a General, and was under Cinilan when siege was laid to Richmond. It was said that one of Stuart's objects in the Pamunkey expedition was to take his father-in-law prisoner. At the age of nineteen Gen. Stuart became a communicant in the Protestant Episcopal Church, and his religious profession has always been consistent and faithful. He is not lest constant in prayer than watchful upon the march and fearless in fight, and will take no mean place in the ranks of those Christian soldiers, of whom Gardner and Headly Viears are the highest types in the English army, and of whom, with Lee and Jackson, and Folk and Pendiston, and Hill, and a host of other our own service furnish so many shining illustrate

ty. James E B Stuart entered the Military Academy of West Point in the year 1850. Among his contemporaries at that institution were Gens Ambrose Philip, Henry Hath, George H Stuart, T H Holmes, Beverly H Robertson, and N George Evans, and Colonels Seth M Barron Alfred Cumming, and Thos S Rhett, of the Confederate army, and Burnside, Vicle, Wilcor, Cogswell, and others of greater or less repute, or disrepute, in the Yankee army. Among his immediate classmates were Colonels John Pegram, George W Custis Lee, and John B. Vilieplgue, now well known in the Confederate service, and Major Greble, of the Yankee artillery, who was killed in the first battle of the war, at Great Bethel. In the United States Army, the highest rank attained by Stuart was that of First Lieutenant, but this was in the First Cavalry, a regiment noted for its officers, of which Yankee Gen. Sumner was Colonel, and our own General Joseph E. Johnston, Lieut Col. The operations of the old Federal cavalry were c

n the leg yesterday, but not dangerously. Fredericksburg was occupied by the enemy Sunday night. The enemy have three pontoon bridges over the Rappahannock. The town is said to be filled with Yankee wounded — the number being estimated as high as 15,000. The enemy's loss thus far is believed to be 30,000--some have it 40,000. Stuart's cavalry have been unceasingly fighting and pursuing the enemy, and have done excellent service. Our position is very strong. Grant has issued orders congratulating his troops on their success --telling them that Petersburg was in the hands of the Yankees, and begging them to fight bard. Our troops, though wearied, are in good fighting plight, and confident of final success. The enemy, in a raid around our lines, captured a few of Ewell's ordnance wagons, and recaptured some of their prisoners on their way to the railroad. Up to noon to-day there has been no general engagement, but some skirmishing, and oc

my made repeated assaults upon Field's Division, but were handsomely repulsed in every instance by our line of skirmishers, Field's line of battle never finding it necessary to engage them. Field's loss was very trifling. Very near dark the enemy made a most vigorous and determined assault upon Rodes's line of battle, driving Daniel's and Dole's lines of battle from their breastworks, and capturing six pieces of our artillery. Johnston's North Carolina, Walker's Stonewall, Va, and Gordon's Georgia Brigade, however, quickly came to their assistance, driving the enemy back, and recapturing our lost guns. The enemy's loss is said to be very heavy, especially in Field's and Rodes's front — The enemy are certainly fighting with great nerve and desperation. The Yankee Major General Sedgwick is certainly killed, and it is reported that Warren and Stevens are killed. On other parts of the line yesterday there was nothing but heavy skirmishing.
