his eyes, that he had only six men left fit for duty in his company. The regulars fought with great bravery; and before the action both officers and men were sanguine of success. The Federals at one time supposed they were victorious, and ceased firing for more than an hour. Of the seven pieces of artillery taken, there are three 6-pounders, two 12-pounders, one 24 pounder, and a howitzer — all unspiked and in good order. In the commencement of the action a shell was thrown into Kitt Carson's regiment of volunteers, killing and wounding some 20 when they became panic-stricken and flee to the mountains. The Federal force engaged was 5,000 men, 1,000 of whom were regulars, 100 Pike's Peak volunteers, and the remainder New Mexican volunteers and militia, under command of Brigadier-Gen Canby. A reserve was left in Fort Craig of some 1,200 or 1,000 men, under command of Brigadier-General Povey. The Confederate force engaged, including reserves and details, was not quite 2,500 me

Mounted Guerrillas. --We are gratified to learn that Captain Bolivar Ward, who has done most efficient service in Western Virginia as a guerrilla leader, is now in Richmond for the purpose of increasing his company to the maximum standard, and, if possible, to raise a battalion of mounted rangers. His destination the Yankees will no doubt discover to their sorrow at an early day. We would advise all daring young men, fond of adventure and excitement, to call upon Captain Ward at once, at his rendezvous, at the corner of Franklin street and Locust Alley. We need only add that he has had experience in partizan warfare in the Rocky Mountains with Carson, Beckwith, and Hatcher, and accompanied Colonel Doniphan, of Missouri, in his famous expedition through Northern Mexico.

oses, it presents a truly lovely picture. It has none of that mouldering air of age which are so pleasing and painful at Mount Vernon and Monticello. Such is the nature of the grounds that you do not see the mansion till you are upon it. Then, from the front a wide and glorious panorama bursts on the view. Woods, fruitful fields, and the encircling Blue Ridge, combine to make a scene of exquisite beauty and grandeur. Within the dwelling nearly all is modern. The present proprietor is a Mr. Carson, from Ireland, who lately came here under a pass from old Abe, and now proclaims strict neutrality, and claims the protection of the British flag. The grave of the patriot sage is situated in the midst of a large field of luxuriant corn, is imperfectly shaded by five tall locusts, and is surrounded by a low brick wall, which also encloses several other tombs. The stone which covers Madison's tomb is a simple granite shaft, bearing only this inscription: "Madison. Born March 16, 175
