ve to report Private Clark badly burned in the left hand, and Lance Sergeant Laurence struck on the right arm with a piece of shell. From the commencement of the attack on Morris Island to the day of the evacuation, my men have transmitted nearly one thousand messages on that Island. On the night of the 5th, the enemy made an attack on Battery Gregg, which failed, and was repulsed by the timely notice from Sullivan's Island Signal Station, which intercepted the following dispatch: To Admiral Dahlgren I shall try Cummins Point to-night and want the sailors again early. Will you please send two or three monitors by dark to open fire on Fort Moultrie as a diversion. The last time they were in, they stopped reinforcements and may do so to-night. Don't want any fire in the rear. (Signed) General Gilmore. The attack on Fort Sumter, on the night of the 8th, was foiled by a similar notice. The dispatch was: General Gilmore The senior officer will take charge of the assaul

. Others, inspired by his example, went to his assistance. The other gun, which Gilmore and Dahlgren seemed determined should stand no longer, was on the sea face, south of the bomb proof headquars of the enemy. Every dispatch signaled between General Gilmore, of the Federal army, and Admiral Dahlgren, of the navy, was transmitted by our signal officers to General Beauregard in the city, ande, detailed the plan of attack on Battery Gregg, which had been agreed upon between Gilmore and Dahlgren. An arrangement was made by which Dahlgren was to furnish the boats and Gilmore the men, and BDahlgren was to furnish the boats and Gilmore the men, and Battery Gregg, at Cummins Point, was to be surprised. But for this information, it seems almost certain that Gregg would have fallen, and the Confederates on Morris Island cut off from all hope of esclan of attack that was to have been made on Fort Wagner at 9 o'clock this morning. Gilmore and Dahlgren's correspondence was interpreted by our Signal Corps as it was signalled between them. The fle

ar being lost; that the waves broke over and extinguished her fires, and that but for a steamer which was employed to tow her, she must have gone down; and further, that her crew narrowly escaped suffocation during the fight; that living in such a vessel was a sort of Calcutta Blackhole existence, and that the eyes and nose of nearly every man at the guns literally shed blood. Another important question was the nature of the armament which these vessels carried. All the American guns were Dahlgren, or shell guns, and every one knew that shells were wholly ineffective against iron plates. The force, too, with which a projectile struck depended on its velocity, and it appeared that the velocity of the shells fired from the Dahlgren, which was a rifled gun, was only nine hundred feet per second, while our 68-pounders gave a velocity of fifteen hundred feet per second. The velocity of a projectile from a smooth-bore gun, at a distance of only two hundred yards, was much greater than th

and implacable Northern foe, the defence of our wives and children, our homes and firesides, depends upon the patriotism and prowess of our citizen soldiery, and the country ought to hold in sacred remembrance the deeds of heroism and bravery of the privates in the ranks, therefore— Resolved, That the cool bravery and patriotic ardor of Private James Pleasants, of the Goochland cavalry, in killing one of the enemy and capturing thirteen others and sixteen horses in the recent raid of Dahlgren in our county, were in keeping with the character which this young soldier has won in the army, and the court orders these proceedings to be put upon the records of this court as a memorial of its appreciation of genuine courage and unshrinking patriotism. Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings be transmitted by the clerk of this court to Private James Pleasants, of the Goochland cavalry, and also to the editors of the Richmond newspapers, with a request that they publish the same i
