nt, wherein Sheridan, with the brigades of Davies, Gregg, and Custer, met and worsted the Rebel troopers under Fitzhugh Lee and Hampton — our loss being 400, and the enemy's 800--doubtless stimulated the general eagerness for battle. A reconnoissance in force along our front was accordingly made; developing the enemy's position across Tolopotomy creek, with its right on the Mechanicsville pike, near Bethesda church, where Col. Hardin's brigade of Reserves, Crawford's division, was struck May 29. on its flank by Rhodes's division of Ewell's corps, and hurried back to the Shady Grove road; where Crawford, bringing up the remainder of the Reserves and Kitching's brigade (of Warren's corps), repulsed Rhodes, and established our left on the Mechanicsville pike. Meantime, Hancock, on our right, had been stopped, after heavy skirmishing, at the Tolopotomy, finding the enemy in his front too strong and too well covered by defenses and a swamp; while Burnside had come into position on his

r duty, 16,812 infantry, and 1,114 artillerymen, with 46 guns. The Army of the James landed at Bermuda Hundred, May 6, 1864, and a month of active service and hard fighting immediately commenced, the Tenth Corps losing in its operations around Drewry's Bluff, 374 killed, 2,475 wounded, and 807 missing; total, 3,656. Butler's operations resulting in nothing but failures, General Grant ordered the greater part of his forces to the support of the Army of the Potomac. Accordingly, on the 29th of May, General W. F. Smith, commanding the Eighteenth Corps, took the First (Brooks') and Second (Martindale's) Divisions of his own corps, and the Second (Devens') and Third Divisions (Ames' Divisions) of the Tenth Corps, and proceeded to Cold Harbor, where these divisions cooperated with the Army of the Potomac in the terrible fighting which commenced immediately upon their arrival. While at Cold Harbor, these two divisions of the Tenth Corps were known as part of the Eighteenth Corps, formi

lescents, of some two thousand men, of which not more than two thirds would be substantially effective, I organized an expedition of eleven thousand men under General Smith, and put them in column at Bermuda Hundred to attack Petersburg on the 29th of May. They were ready to march the very next morning, but on the evening of the 28th the transportation to take them away arrived with positive orders that they should at once go to Grant. Much as I desired the capture of Petersburg, which was them, General Weitzel, my chief engineer, reported to me that not half the work which I supposed had been completed, had been done. Still the capture of Petersburg lay near my heart. It will be seen that the removal of Smith's corps on the 29th of May, when they were ready to march to capture Petersburg, had frustrated that capture for the second time, as the false reports from Washington had done the first time. I caused the most accurate reports possible of the strength of my forces to b

checked when it came within range of our guns and line of battle. Generals Grant and Thomas happened to be with me during this affair, and were well pleased at the handsome manner in which the troops behaved. That night we began the usual entrenchments, and the next day brought forward the artillery and the rest of the division, which then extended from the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, at Bowie Hill Cut, to the Corinth & Purdy road, there connecting with Hurlbut's division. That night, viz., May 29th, we heard unusual sounds in Corinth, the constant whistling of locomotives, and soon after daylight occurred a series of explosions followed by a dense smoke rising high over the town. There was a telegraph line connecting my headquarters with those of General Halleck, about four miles off, on the Hamburg road. I inquired if he knew the cause of the explosions and of the smoke, and he answered to advance with my division and feel the enemy if still in my front. I immediately dispatched t

triotism of our Southern war men to manifest itself. We cannot all fight, but we can all be economical, and husband the resources of the country. While our brave boys are enduring the hardships of the camp, and are cheerfully undergoing labors to which they are not accustomed, and periling life in the trenches and in the field, and all for the defence of the homes at which we are remaining, who will complain of the necessary self-denial? Southern ladies, wear your last year's bonnets and dresses. You will thus look much more beautiful and charming in the eyes of your patriotic husbands, fathers, brothers, and lovers. You are beautiful enough without costly outward adorning. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: save money, and plant corn and potatoes, and husband every thing that will make food. Let us sacrifice our selfishness, and pride, and vanity, and consecrate all to the cause of the Church and the country — to God and Liberty.--Natchez (Miss.) Courier, May 29.

than a regular siege, not only in money, but life. Everybody almost knows that burning red pepper, even in small quantity, a teaspoonful, will clear the largest room of a crowd in a few moments; that the least snuff of veratria will make one cough himself almost to death, and run great risk of coughing himself into consumption; that some gases are so poisonous to life that the smallest quantity will kill — hydroceanic acid and arsemurretted hydrogen, for instance. By mixing red pepper and veratria with the powder with which the shells are filled, or by filling large shells of extraordinary capacity with poisonous gases, and throwing them very rapidly into the fort, every living soul would have to leave in double quick time; it would be impossible to breathe there. If the bombardment is effected in a dead calm, the result would be certain; and often at Fort Pickens there is not a breath of air stirring from daylight until 10 o'clock in the morning. --National Intelligencer, May 29.

146. a New version of an old song. [Respectfully Dedicated to the London Times.] God save Cotton, our King! God save our noble King! God save the King! Send him the sway he craves, Britons his willing slaves. “Rule,” Cotton! “Rule the waves!” God save the King! Outweighing truth and fame, Cotton shall cloak our shame, Freedom an empty name. God save the King! Careless of good or ill, Cotton is sovereign still, While we our pockets fill. God save the King! Lowly we bend the knee To his autocracy; Cotton shall rule the free God save the King! --N. Y. . Evening Post, May 29<

fforts of the brave regiments from Butterfield and McQuade, who drove from the ground a force superior to the whole of ours engaged at any one time. Butterfield's efforts, from first to last, were productive of the very best results. The results are more than we expected. Up to this hour, over six hundred prisoners. Gen. Stoneman captured a railway-train. Another account. Butterpield's brigade, Porter's division, Fifth provisional army corps, camp near Hanover Court-House, Va., May 29. Fort Donelson, Pittsburgh Landing, Williamsburgh, Hanover, and Fair Oaks illustrate in this war, what is a remarkable fact in the campaigns of both classic and modern times, that the most drenching storms and the deepest mud have not been able to deter energetic commanders and vigorous troops from making long marches or fighting hard battles.
