death as a personal bereavement, and still cherish his memory with tender and reverent regret. His fall and the Confederate slaughter were treated with indecent and ferocious exultation by camp-followers who wrote for the Northern press, and by others. But a better and more generous spirit also prevailed, which, it is to be hoped, more truly represented the feelings of the brave men who won the victory. Zollicoffer's body was borne into a tent, by Thomas's orders, and identified by Colonel Connell, of the Seventeenth Ohio, and others who knew him. An eye-witness, writing to the Cincinnati Enquirer, thus describes him: A tall, rather slender man, with thin brown hair, high forehead somewhat bald, Roman nose, firm, wide mouth, and clean-shaved face. A pistol-ball had struck him in the breast, a little above the heart, killing him instantly. His face bore no expression such as is usually found on those who fall in battle-no malice, no reckless hate, not even a shadow of phys

h my command were either killed or Wounded, and all my aids and orderlies hit in some way. During the engagement the Eighth Michigan's colors were carried on to the parapet, and after the men first withdrew were unfurled to protect them from shots of friends in the rear. While the fire was hottest, and during the day's action, through the efficient attention of Surgeon Francis Bacon, and Assistant Horace Porter, of the Seventh Connecticut, Surgeon Willson, of the Eighth Michigan, and Surgeon Connell, and Assistant Snow, of the Twenty-eighth Massachusetts volunteers, with their respective corps, speedy relief was afforded to the wounded who were accessible. Orders having been given to that effect, about nine o'clock A. M. this command was withdrawn, and returned to camp in good order. The conduct of all the officers of this command, who came under my notice, was gallant without exception. The men behaved with admirable bravery and coolness. I regret to report the heavy loss in

of Lynchburg. The Portsmouth Rifles were headed by their Drum Corps of sixteen, under Drum-Major J. T. Lawrence. Lieutenant E. W. Owens was in command, and Lieutenant John W. Leigh was also along. There were forty-four men in line. The Junior Rifles, one of the most attractive bodies in the line, was officered by Captain M. R. Hudgins and Lieutenants Maupin and Mooner. This company brought along thirty-six men. The Virginia Zouaves, of Lynchburg, Captain R. E. Craighill and Lieutenants Connell and Lynn, had thirty-four men in line. A good showing was made by the Portsmouth Grays, commanded by Captain J. P. Wilson. His lieutenants were Messrs. A. B. Peed and R. R. Wilson. The Norfolk band, which comprised about twenty-five pieces, furnished splendid music throughout the parade. It preceded the artillery. Major Simons and his happy cannoneers attracted much admiration, and were the cause of much cheering as they moved through the crowded streets. There were four ba

n. This division will probably meet the enemy first at Roaring Run, twelve miles beyond Beverly. The enemy is reported 20,000 strong cast of the Middle Fork, including all their posts. They are either very strong, or they don't know what they are about. Ripley, California, Charleston, Glennville, Bulltown and Frenchtown are ordered to be occupied by strong detachments. O.

They were disgraced for outrages perpetrated on the property of reputed Secessionists, by Lieut. Stratton and eight privates of the company. Subsequently the commissioned officers of the regiment appealed to Gen. McClellan to revoke the sentence and give the innocent members a chance to redee
