see two full regiments and a battalion of cavalry, composed of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Regiments Pennsylvania Cavalry (Cole's Battalion); four full regiments of infantry, Elliott's Brigade, and a battery of four guns. I write full, as it was earn back from the ambush, and while the fight was going on above, General Elliott rallied and reformed the runaways, brought Cole's Battalion to the front, thus forming a column, and moving the infantry up nearer to supporting distance, he ordered the n notified by the videttes, and hurried around to the eastern side. There we met and had a pretty sharp little fight with Cole's Battalion, who fought us harder than the Pennsylvania. But soon the dismounted men, having been double-quicked acrossp hillside with a yell and the impetuous charge of the Ashby Cavalry that no Yankees ever withstood. In a very short time Cole's Battalion was running from half its number of men. The battery now opened fire on the front of the hill, and shelled
ng us to calamity. One cause of these desertions was the suffering among the troops from lack of food. On the 8th of January, Lee wrote to the rebel government that the entire right wing of his army had been in line for three days and nights, in the most inclement weather of the season. Under these circumstances, he said, heightened by assaults and fire of the enemy, some of the men had been without meat for three days, and all were suffering from reduced rations and scant clothing. Colonel Cole, chief commissary, reports that he has not a pound of meat at his disposal. If some change is not made, and the commissary department reorganized, I apprehend dire results. The physical strength of the men, if their courage survives, must fail under this treatment. Our cavalry has to be dispersed for want of forage. Fitz Lee's and Lomax's divisions are scattered because supplies cannot be transported where their services are required. I had to bring Fitz Lee's division sixty miles Su

by our merchants and the Virginia public, will expand into a great and thriving commerce. The first vessel is a beauty; as remarkable for her admirable arrangement with reference to the transportation of freight, as for the symmetry of her proportions. She is one of the very best models of Baltimore clipper-built ships, worthy of the reputation of Capt. Abrahams, who built her. The Virginia Dare has her freight already engaged, "and will have dispatch." She is commanded by Capt. J. M. Cole, a sailor of experience and a man of energy and spirit; a very fitting officer to take charge of the first of our packets, having in a large amount that kind of vim necessary to push ahead and successfully maintain new enterprises. His ship has already been described in our columns. She has a capacity of 850 tons, and, in the language of the Baltimore Exchange, "her model and finish throughout combine utility, beauty and strength. " The organization of this Richmond and Liverpool compa
