ome of them. The first to whom I spoke had been wounded in a small expedition after lumber, from which a party had just returned, and in which they had been under fire and had done very well. I said, pointing to his lame arm,-- Did you think that was more than you bargained for, my man? His answer came promptly and stoutly,-- I been a-tinking, Mas'r, dat's jess what I went for. I thought this did well enough for my very first interchange of dialogue with my recruits. November 27, 1862.

land. Epode. O bleeding land! there is, that bringeth cheer; Renew thy fading hopes, repress thy sighs. O traitor band! there is, that causeth fear; Haste ye and hide, ere Nemesis arise! O mourning heart, be still! The gloomy night, Even to eye that's not “of faith,” grows gray; Soon shall its darkness melt away in light. Come, quickly come, light of the glorious day! Arise, and gird your loins, ye men of might! Earth trembling, hope, heaven, bide the end; hear ye! Go forth, great-hearts! Do battle for the right! Go forth, and faint not: “God and Liberty!” “Thine is the fight, O God.” For liberty To worship thee in peace, we draw the sword; Thy cause shall fail not, save ordained by thee; Even as the sparrow falls but by thy word. Grant thou, All-Merciful! thy mercy to us, Only thine arm of strength can us subdue. With thine own spirit toward our foes, imbue us; So shall we “temper justice” to thy view.

Cooper, Adjt. and Insp.-Genl., Richmond, Va.: General—About the 20th inst., having ascertained that a sufficient number of guns of the heaviest calibre could not be procured for the defence of this important harbor, and that the floating boom across its entrance would possibly be a failure, I determined to hasten, by all practicable means in my power, the rifling and banding of as many 42 and 32 pounders, already in position in the works of this harbor, as time and the li
