next day (28th) fought the battle of Glorieta, driving the enemy from the field with great loss. Colonel Scurry reported that he had in this combat portions of the companies of Captains Hampton, Lesueur, Foard, Crosson, Giesecke, Alexander, Buckholtz, Odell and Scarborough (Lieutenant Holland commanding), of the Fourth regiment; the companies of Captains Hoffman, Gardner, Wiggins, and Adair of the Seventh regiment; the companies of Captains Shannon, Ragsdale, and Lieutenants Oakes and Scott Major Ragnet fell mortally wounded while engaged in the last and most desperate conflict of the day. He survived long enough to know and rejoice at our victory, and then died with loving messages upon his expiring lips. The brave, gallant Captain Buckholtz and Lieutenant Mills conducted themselves with distinguished gallantry throughout the fight and fell near its close. Of the living it is only necessary to say all behaved with distinguished courage and daring. . . . Major Pyron was disting

A military publication. J. W. Randolph, 121 Main street, Richmond, has just published an admirable little work entitled "Tactics for Officers of Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery. Arranged and compiled by L. V. Buckholtz, author of Infantry Camp Duty, Field Fortification and Coast Defence." Col. Dimmock recommends the work as containing "information most essential to success" of the bravest troops in front of a well drilled enemy; and Col. Tompkins, late of the United States Army, says it "should be consulted and understood by every citizen who holds a commission."

e. --The Greenbrier Era alludes to the arrival at Lewisburg of Gen. Henry A. Wise, attended by the Richmond Blues and Caskle's Rangers, and says: Whilst encamped at the Fair Grounds, they were joined by the white Sulphur Rifles, Capt. Morris, and the Monroe Sharp Shooters, Capt. Beirne, which companies were mustered into the service of the Confederate States, for 12 months, and all took up their march for the West on Tuesday. Capt. Taylor's company of Frankford Rifles, and two pieces of Artillery, under the command of Capt. Buckholtz, left Wednesday for the same destination. The Rockingham Cavalry have arrived, and are now in camp. We understand they will follow in a short time. Besides these, there are four companies in Monroe, and two in this county, which will join him in the Kanawha Valley. The soldiers were much pleased with their sojourn amongst us, and, we have no doubt, will remember gratefully the kindness extended by our citizens, and especially the ladies.

es. They are: Mons. Pardigon, a very learned Frenchman, who is a master of Infantry tactics, and especially skilled in bayonet exercise. He has given most valuable instruction to the followers of Gen. Wise. Mons. P. is an admirable teacher of modern languages, and one of the best writers of the day. He is ardently devoted to the Southern cause, and we saw him the other day marching westward through Lewis burg, armed and equipped in the most approved style, as a foot soldier. Capt. Buckholtz, a German, and a highly accomplished Artillery officer. He has written a work on the subject. His knowledge and practical skill are very thorough in the department of the military science to which he has devoted himself. Col. Adler, an Italian, from Garibaldi's army. He is a magnificent Cavalry officer.--A commission was tendered him by Lincoln, as Colonel of Cavalry; but he preferred to serve the Southern Confederacy. He declares that he "never fights for the Government, but f

other civilized nation, of a system of permanent fortifications on our frontiers and the sea-coast? But I have a few more words to say. What is the reason that, while our publishers and booksellers advertise for the sale of books of tactics, camp duty, hand-books for artillery, instruction for cavalry, &c., &c., they do not take the least trouble to publish any good and thorough book on fortification, mines, attack and defence, &c.? The only book that bears something of that title, is Buckholtz; but do they really think that the author intended to give any reasonable information on engineering? He only intended to make the infantry officers acquainted with the name of some works, and, at most, with constructing a single profile. But that is not in the least what we want; let them at least publish Mahanton fortification, with all its maps. And even that is not all. Can they not find any of the excellent French works, as Cormontaigne, St. Paul, D'Argon, or others; also, one on w
