While we were looking over at the enemy, and lying carelessly about our posts, some six or eight cannon balls came over our heads and took us by surprise. Col. Withers gallantly came to our assistance with the balance of the regiment and a display of artillery, as if for battle, whereupon they kept remarkably quiet the rest of the day. Capt. Spencer, (Company K,) with ten men as a body guard, meantime performed a hazardous enterprise. Several females, frightened by the firing of the artillery, passed out of our lines, and had gone through a skirt of woods, occupied partly by our men and partly by the enemy. For fear that they would give important intelligence to the enemy, the Captain determined, if possible, to bring them back. After advancing to a house in the open field, where he supposed them to be, several of our boys notici

and formed under these anspices, he proved himself equal to all the various and arduous posts of public duty to which he was called by the favor and confidence of his countrymen. In the highest of them all, he gave an honorable proof of the elevation and magnanimity of his character by bringing into the leading Executive Departments the most towering talents of the country, to aid him in the administration of the Government. The selection of such men as Web er Calhoun, Legare, Upshur, and Spencer, proved how far he was above the operation of any unworthy sentiment of jealousy, or fear of being overshadowad in the public estimation by his official advisers; while his personal management of several of the most delicate questions of his administration — I refer more particularly to his broad and comprehensive treatment of the question of the anexation of Texas, and the firmness with which he upheld the cause of constitutional, republican government in Rhode Island against the outbreak

rom Louisiana. This was really a fine looking, well-uniformed set of men. Their uniform, like all their artillery, was of light gray, with red trimmings, their caps having a wide, red band. The three officers in charge of this battery were Lieuts. Spencer and Gibson, of Mississippi, and Lieut. Wilson, of Georgia. They delivered their horses and swords to Lieut. Col. Rempel; also, the six fine field pieces, together with all the appurtenances thereunto belonging. I found the above named officers well raised, gentlemanly fellows. Lieutenant Spencer was quite sullen, and said he considered their army had been sold by Floyd. I told him I had no doubt his disposition was good enough to do a thing of that kind, as the aforesaid gentleman had drove a most flourishing trade in stealing, which I considered only the first degree of rebellion. The Lieutenant said he hoped we might get him, as they had no further use for him. These men were respectful and even genteel in their conversa

to vie with each other in their efforts to minister to our comfort. We are especially indebted to the good people of King and Queen county. At every step we ware met with scores of young ladies and kind hearted matrons, who showered blessing upon our heads, literally strewing our path way with flowers, reviving our exhausted soldiers with refreshing drinks, and filling their haversacks with the more substantial eatables, so necessary for those who were undergoing such great physical exertion. We are especially indebted to the Messrs. Ryland, Bagby, Drs. Bland, Pollard, Roy, Spencer, and many others whose names we did not learn. Their kindness and attention have affected us with feelings of the liveliest sensibility and sincerest gratitude. In the hour of trial and danger, when the battle rages fierce, and the blows fall thick and fast, we will remember the fair daughters and kind mothers of old King and Queen, and strike for their safety, their homes, and their firesides.
