flag which a small, isolated body of our men (stragglers from another command) had raised, receiving a wound in the act. The brigade, holding its ground nobly, lost more than one-fourth of its entire number. At length, Johnson, having brushed the enemy from his right flank in the woods, cleared his front and rested his troops in the shelter of the outer works. Col. H. R. Keeble, Seventeenth and Twenty-third Tennessee, a veteran soldier of great distinction, in his official report dated May 22, 1864, stated: My orders from General Johnson were to move down the turnpike by the left flank until I reached the outer line of fortifications, when I would halt, front and move forward in connection with General Ransom's division. Long before I reached the outer line of fortifications, I discovered that the enemy were still occupying our works (heretofore constructed and occupied), with a battery of five pieces (Parrott guns) planted in the center of the turnpike, a little beyond the fortifi

Captain Adams, Acting Adjutant-General: Captain,—I am directed to submit a report of the part taken by my brigade in the battle of Brewry's Bluff, of the 16th instant. My command occupied the left of our second or intermediate line, embracing Fort Stephens, and with its right on the turnpike. The enemy occupied our exterior line of breastworks, which had been previously abandoned, supported by a battery of five pieces where the turnpike crosses these works, with skirmishers well

in that city, and I had no doubt that in a short while I would see him, and have the pleasure of an introduction to President Davis and his cabinet. Foolish boy! It was many weary months ere I saw the loved ones in the Southern Capital, and then only a few weeks before the end. After we left Nashville our guard gave his gun to one of his prisoners and went to sleep, and all could have made their escape had they chosen. We arrived at Indianapolis at daylight in the morning of the 22d of May, 1864. Our ration of bread (one small loaf) came at 11 o'clock, and a small piece of meat at 12 o'clock. We usually ate it as soon as received, and then drank as much water as we could hold, and tried to imagine we had had a full meal. Another reason for eating it at once was to save it from being stolen, as the only way to keep it until evening was to put it under one's hat and sit on the hat; this plan being inconvenient we made a light lunch of the whole ration and spent the balance of

Army of Northern Virginia, near Hanover Junction, May 22, 1864 About dusk on Saturday evening a line of battle, consisting of Scales's and Law's N. C., and Davis's Miss., brigades, moved forward from the entrenchments in front of Spotsylvania C. H., and, aided by a brisk artillery fire from our own guns, assaulted and carried the enemy's breastworks, then held by a single line of skirmishers from the Sixth army corps, capturing a few prisoners, but losing rather heavily in killed and wounded, inasmuch as the enemy were posted behind strong entrenchments and our line of advance lay through a tangled undergrowth. This reconnaissance, for such it was, revealed the fact that the enemy's whole army was certainly in motion. Gen. Lee had supposed as much earlier in the day, and during the morning Ewell's corps left the front, moving in the direction of Chesterfield Station. So soon as this reconnaissance was made, everything started rearwards — a general skedaddling among ambulan

The expenses of a blockade runner. Wilmington May 22d, 1864. To the Editor of the Richmond Dispatch: Enclosed please find a statement of the expense of running a steamer before the war on a basts, also the same for a blockade running steamer on the same grounds. You will perceive that all the reports of the blockade running are without foundation, as it is a well known fact that ovary steamer or blockade runner have made large for tunes, and have turned our currency, and taken all the coin out of the country. I sincerely trust Congress will not after the present few, but make it stronger, and put a heavy tax on them.
