n who came under my own observation, and of the things that I saw myself, and therefore, will have to content myself in what little I have to say, chiefly with a recital of the operations of Wheeler's Cavalry, having been with it from its organization until the end of the war. It may be interesting to some of you to know that the very first cavalry attached to what was afterwards known as the Army of the Tennessee, were from Alabama. These consisted of two companies, one commanded by Captain Bowie, of Talladega, and one commanded by my father, then Captain Jefferson Falkner. These companies were really ordered out to be sent to Ben McCullough in Missouri, but at the request of General Polk the orders were countermanded by the War Department, and we were stopped in transit at Corinth, Miss., and a few days afterwards we went to Union City, Tenn., where we were soon joined by a cavalry company commanded by Captain Cole, of Louisiana. We remained at Union City, at which point sever

The South Carolina troops. --These chivalrous and gallant defenders of their natal soil left Weldon, N. C., yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, to the number of 450, under the leadership of Col. M. L. Bonham, late a representative in Congress from the State of South Carolina. Col. Bonham is a brother of one of the Texan heroes who fell with Crockett, Bowie and others, defending the Alamo from the Mexicans during the Texan revolution, and he and his "boys" may be confidently calculated on to give a good account of themselves when brought face to face with the hired mercenaries of Lincoln who are now making attempts to subjugate this free land. The South Carolinians will go into camp at the Central Fair Grounds immediately on their arrival here, which was expected to take place yesterday, via the Petersburg Railroad. P. S.--The South Carolina troops arrived here at 6 o'clock, in the Petersburg cars, reaching that city via Norfolk Road. Gen. Borham's headquarters will be establis

ner at the residence of Minister Wright. Our present troubles were the subject of a patriotic speech by the Minister. After the maintenance of the Union had been advocated by several other gentlemen with much native enthusiasm, Baron von Holzendorf rose to thank the American Minister for the kindly feelings expressed in behalf of the royal family and the growing unity of Father land. The eloquent speaker, who had a thorough command of the English language, then glanced at the general "Bowie knife" and "Lynch law" ideas attaching to America in many parts of the Old World. But was it not better to have to suffer from the occasional ebullitions of individual energy than from the lasting pressure and perpetual interference of a police system. (Here the Germans present, mindful of the revelations of the last few days led the storm of applause, in which the Yankees heartily joined.) The Baron then thanked the Americans for having admitted a great number of German emigrants to the f

feet in height. On the morning of the fourth day after the battle a party of us visited the ground. The dead had just been buried, and the grave of the last was being smoothed over as we approached. A majority of the bodies were buried in a trench not far from where they fell, but there are scattering graves for some distance up and down the river's bank. A flag of truce was sent over to take charge of the dead, borne by Capt. Vaughan, of the Rhode Island battery. He was met by Adjutant Bowie, of the 8th Virginia. The wounded Yankees were all carried to the rear and hurried across the river to a house near by. Rising from the river margin is a steep cliff, in some places ninety or one hundred feet high, and nearly perpendicular. Upon its side are hundreds of old and decaying trees, and rocks whose sides recovered with moss, and with the leaves of many autumns. Broken trunks of trees are lodged upon them, and also earth washed from above, forming a soil in which grows

the town at present, and that under its sombre folds the Crinolines intend to fight without asking or giving quarter. All the people are at the fortifications working with might and main. Gen. Guadalupe Garcia is said to be on the march from Tampico to Matamoras, with his cavalry, three rifled cannon, and 400 infantry. Gen. Carabajal is said to be outside of the city of Matamoras, at the distance of a day's march with 600 to 2,000 men, and heavy artillery in proportion. Dr. Bowie, a gentleman from up the river, reports that the force at Reynosa left that place three days ago for Matamoras, under Gens. Aldrete and Treyino. The utmost secrecy and discretion governs both parties, and we can therefore, give but little correct information as to the movements of either armies. Much bitterness prevails. However, we are assured that the difficulty will be ended within a week as far as Matamoras is concerned. Quien sabe? By a private letter from Monterey, under

omparatively uninjured, except the engine; but the first and second passenger cars, crushing into each other, made an awful wreck, and piled up dead men and dying in one horrible heap. It was a long time before they could be all extricated. Soon after the accident the down train for the city arrived at the scene, and fortunately brought as a passenger Dr. G. W. Devron, the house surgeon of the Confederate States Army hospital on Common street. By his prompt care and the services of Surgeon Bowie and Assistant Surgeon J. M Thornhill, of the Mississippi regiment, the latter of whom forgot, in his sympathy for others, that one of his own ribs had been broken, many a gallant volunteer's life was saved who must otherwise have soon expired. When the train from this city reached there, the engine was at once sent back for assistance and brought the first exaggerated report of the affair. Dr. Devron would not wait, however, for the arrival of this aid, but had four cars prepared a
