So far as the troops of Beauregard's immediate Army of the Potomac are concerned, this statement is condensed from two that I prepared with the sub-returns of ail the commands before me as the adjutant-general of that army, September 25th, 1861, and I will vouch for its exactness.
In respect to the Army of the Shenandoah, I have been obliged to present an estimate of 8340 as the total of the rank and file of Johnston's army, my authority for which is a statement written by me in the official report of the battle, and based, as I distinctly recollect, upon official documents and returns in my hands at the time, of the accuracy of which I was and am satisfied.
The totals of General Beauregard's Army of the Potomac are:

U. S. Steamer J. Bell, Indian head, Potomac River, Sept. 25, 1861.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report:--This morning, about sunrise, I discovered men at work digging, &c., at Freestone Point.
I got under way at half-past 9 A. M., (having satisfied myself that they were making batteries,) in company with the Seminole, Lieut. Norton in charge.
I ordered her to follow my motions.
We proceeded to Freestone Point, and I went close in and fired six shells, dispersing the workmen, and receiving no return of fire I stood out. At that moment the Seminole opened fire with her battery, which was immediately answered from the said point with rifled shot, disclosing the existence of a battery there.
The Seminole continued her fire for some time, continually answered by the battery on shore.
After she fired sufficiently long in my opinion, I ordered her to cease firing and return to her anchorage.

59 1/2. skirmish near Chapmansville, Va., September 25, 1861.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette gives the following account of this skirmish:
camp Enyart, October 1, 1861.
The necessities for aid in Western Virginia led the Government to order the Thirty-fourth regiment into the field before the brigade of Zouaves was completed.
This to the officers was a great disappointment, as the drill is peculiar, rendering their cooperation a very important element of their efficiency and success.
Yet, like true soldiers, they responded to the call with the regiment completed, and marched for Western Virginia with a notice of six hours, and reached Camp Enyart Thursday the 19th of September.
The officers, believing that the best drill they could give the Zouaves would be to let them go through their peculiar tactics with a rebel army for interested spectators, and learning that the enemy was in force about fifty miles from their camp, took up their line of march

65. operations in Western Virginia.
The following account of the operations of Floyd's and Wise's forces in Western Virginia, is given by a correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch. Its authorship is attributed to Col. Henningsen, well known for his connection with the filibuster expedition from the South:
camp Defiance, Sept. 25, 1861--10 P. M.
On the 14th of September Gen. Floyd and his forces encamped on the summit of the Big Sewell, and ordered the Wise Legion, which, to cover his rear, was drawn up in order of battle at Locust Lane, to camp east of him, at Smales', on the turnpike.
The troops of the Wise Legion, who were in no amiable humor at so much retreating, and especially at being obliged to retire from Dogwood Gap without fighting, were much exhausted and annoyed at having been kept on the road from six in the morning till eleven at night, mixed up with an interminable train of wagons belonging to the Floyd Brigade, for the purpose of only proceeding a
