ce of Virginia. We were sent to Harper's Ferry, and stationed upon the Maryland Heights, which was then considered the post of honor, exposed to all kind of inclement weather, performing the heaviest guard duty in the army, guarding every pass, night and day, without a murmur. We fell back with Johnston to Winchester, and was with him in his marches to and from Darksville. Here Col. Duncan resigned the command of the battalion, and we were placed temporarily under the command of Captain Claiborne, an old officer of the U. S. A. In the memorable march from Winchester to Piedmont, our boys never tired or broke down, but was the sixth regiment that reached that place. Well do I recollect the words of the lamented Bartow, to whose brigade we belonged; as he passed along our lines, he remarked "These Kentuckians could go to Manassas without stopping, they march so elegantly." Owing to the railroad accident, we did not participate in the battle of the 21st, which was a great disappo

Christmas — the Rogue's March Superseded by Yankee Doodle. Camp of 12th Mississippi Regiment, Christmas Day, 1861. A happy Christmas, from a quiet line of the army, I cordially send you, Gen. McClellan has no idea of taking Christmas cheer, down on this little old stream called Bull Run. We are all sorry for that; while, with creamy bowl of egg-nogg, we soldiers drink permanency to the young Confederacy, and good health to our glorious President. The only new thing of note, is a custom just adopted in the army. When a worthless soldier is "drummed out," it is done to the tune of Yankee-Doodle, instead of the Rogue's March, as was the custom. The new custom arose from the fact, that more rogues march any day, now-a-days, to the tune of Yankee-Doodle, than have marched in all time, to the Rogue's March. The custom arose from a suggestion of Col. Harry Haze, of the 7th Louisiana regiment, and does that gentleman credit as an observer of events. Yours, Claiborne
