ral. Headquarters Department of Northern Virginia, Centreville, February 16, 1862. To the Hon. J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of War. Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge your letter of the 11th inst., in relation to Captain Rhett, and that of Captain Dyerle to you, dated February 8th, referred to me. I think that you were mistaken in regarding General Beauregard as the commander of these troops. I have been so considered here, and so styled by yourself. More furloughs have already been mpany. The army is so much weakened by loss of officers from sickness, and soldiers on furlough, that I am compelled to use every man in the way in which he can serve best. It is essential that this authority should not be taken from me. Captain Dyerle's company is serving as infantry, as it engaged to do, for a year. It would be useless as artillery. The granting authority to raise artillery companies from our present force of infantry has interfered very much with the object of your

In this double fire, front and rear, fell the gallant officers, Lieutenant-Colonel Cunningham, Major Layne, and Captain Dyerle. Reenforcements coming up, portions of different regiments were re-formed and assisted in driving the enemy, discomfited, from the field. The terrible loss in this brigade resulted from its left flank being turned, thereby subjecting it to

er saw. We have two volunteer companies in service. Another company will leave in a day or two for the seat of war. Two more companies are being organized, and will soon be ready for active service. They are composed of the very best material, and each one when the tug of war comes, will prove himself worthy of the palmiest days of the republic. Roanoke may well be proud to entrust her honor and liberty in their hands. One is an Artillery company, Capt Hupp, the other two are Rifle, Captains Dyerle and Rock. We have two companies of Home Guard, one of which the members are to be over fifty years old, or others who are muster free. The members of the other are between the age of twelve and eighteen. The two companies together number about one hundred and thirty. Mr. Wells, the able and efficient professor of Mathematics in Roanoke College, is engineer of our Aridity company now in service.

The resolution gave rise to much discussion, the House dividing on the two propositions presented: whether negroes were to be employed as soldiers or as pioneers, cooks, teamsters, etc. Motions to indefinitely postpone and lay on the table were lost, and the resolution was referred, rejecting an amendment, by Mr. Worsham, inserting the words "as soldiers" after the words "military service." Mr. Dyerle submitted a resolution inviting a joint committee of both Houses to confer with the Secretary of War concerning a detail of mechanics and workers in wood and iron to meet the demand of the farmers of the State; which resolution was agreed to.
