of the Yankee raiders during the campaign. "The bridge was soon repaired, and the remainder of the army crossed. Our informant further states that the baggage and transportation of the army has been materially reduced. One wagon alone is allowed to each headquarters, even including the transportation of the commander-in-chief. The best mules and horses and wagons have been placed in the supply train. The direction of the army is not known." A letter from Florence says: "Clayton's division reached South Florence about 12 o'clock on Sunday, October 30th, and preparations were immediately made to cross the river on the right of the railroad bridge, of which nothing remains but the piers. Pontoon boats were brought up, and a crew for each selected — poles, paddles, etc., being made under cover of a large bluff. Fenner's (Louisiana) and Garrity's (Alabama) batteries were placed in position on the bluff to support the infantry in crossing, as the enemy were known to

of his corps, "except Stevenson's division," to aid Lieutenant-General Polk against Sherman, in Mississippi. This order was obeyed as promptly as our means of transportation permitted. The force detached was probably exaggerated to Major-General Thomas; for on the 23d the Federal army advanced to Ringgold, on the 24th drove in our outposts, and on the 25th skirmished at Mill Creek gap and in Crow valley, east of Rocky Face mountain. We were successful at both places. At the latter, Clayton's brigade, after a sharp action of half an hour, defeated double its number. At night it was reported that a United States brigade was occupying Dug gap, from which it had driven our troops. Granbury's Texan brigade, returning from Mississippi, had just arrived. It was ordered to march to the foot of the mountain immediately and to retake the gap at sunrise next morning, which was done. In the night of the 26th the enemy retired. On the 27th of February, I suggested to the Executiv

Adjutant Clayton, Twelfth Georgia battalion, killed. Brigadier-General Johnston accidentally sprained an ankle while leaping the enemy's works. Our loss will reach several hundred. Of the enemy's loss, we are unable to form an estimate, but it was, no doubt, severe, as they were repulsed in two heavy charges. An officer of some distinction was shot from his horse while endeavoring to rally his men. He is believed to have been General Warren, now commanding the Ninth corps. This movement was

tured in the fort when we gave it up. It is said that most of our dead were killed in the fort after surrendering. The loss of the enemy is not known, but is believed to be heavy. We captured about twenty officers and a little over five hundred men. Brigadier-General William Terry, of Gordon's division, was severely wounded in the thigh; Captain C. D.

Negro schools in Richmond. --The Rev. Mr. Clayton, on last Sunday, delivered a discourse upon freedmen in a Universalist Church in New York city. The Tribune says of it: "He described the different schools in Richmond, Norfolk, Hampton, Alexandria and Washington, and read the reports of their principals, with such remarks as were appended by the superintendent, which showed them to be in a most satisfactory condition, under the direction of Miss White and Miss Howe. "One in parss Hancock has two assistant (colored), aged twelve and fifteen respectively. The school was entirely self-sustaining, the teaching being gratuitous. "General Howard had promised that no distinction should be made in regard to the peculiar belief of the teachers, but that they should be given every assistance in his power. "At the conclusion, a very generous contribution was taken up." Mr. Clayton also stated that the Government was now doing nothing to sustain these schools.
