de through mistake. General Jenkins, of S. C., was mortally wounded by the same brigade. Gen. Longstreet is doing well. He and his command saved the day on the right. Gen. Kershaw commanded McLaws's division with great honor to himself. The artillery took but little part on either side, on account of the woods and the nature of the ground. Our loss is severe, including many valuable officers. Among the killed are General Jennings, (Jenkins?) of S. C.; Stafford, of La.; Colonel Nance and Lieutenant Colonel Galliard, of S. C., and Col. J. Thompson Brown, of Richmond (commanding a battalion of artillery). Gen. Benning, of Georgia, is wounded, but not severely. Gen. Wadsworth, of the Yankee army, was killed. The battle was fought in the Wilderness, and will probably be designated as the battle of the Wilderness. The enemy has been pushed back towards Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg. Everything looks well for our success. Sallust.
