th We remained in camp until evening, when we moved to a more pleasant locality. The enemy have disappeared from our left and left-centre, and gone towards our right, and Early's (lately Ewell's) command enjoys a respite from the. heavy and exhausting duties of the past month. June 8th Sergeant Aug. P. Reid, of my company ( F, Twelfth Alabama), was this morning appointed acting Second Lieutenant by Colonel Pickens, and assigned to command of Company D. This was a neat compliment to Gus, and to my intelligent company. The day was again marked by an unusual quiet; cannon and musketry were seldom heard. I seized a moment to write a letter expressing sympathy to Mrs. Hendree, of Tuskegee, at the untimely death of her excellent and gallant son, Edward, who was killed May 5th at the Wilderness while commanding sharpshooters. The first twelve months of the war we were messmates and intimate friends. He was afterwards made First-Lieutenant in Sixty-first Alabama regiment. He w

August 4th.—Was most agreeably surprised this morning by a visit from my most intimate friend and kinsman, Gus. Gordon. He is Major of the Sixth Alabama regiment, and was severely wounded at the battle of Seven Pines. He is now convalescent and is on his way to rejoin his regiment in Virginia. Gus is a noble fellow, and I love him as tenderly as Jonathan loved David. August 5th.—Walked into Chattanooga this morning with Gus. and spent the day with him. He left this evening for Columbus, Georgia, en route for Virginia. The dear fellow was thoughtful enough to bring me a bag of vegetables from Sand Mountain.

Fatal wounding of General J. E. B Stuart. Account of by Colonel Gus W. Dorsey, First Maryland Cavalry. In the Southern Historical Society Papers it has been the prominent desire and effort men who were not at nor anywhere near Yellow Tavern on May 11, 1864. This may be the reason why Gus Dorsey was never mentioned by any of those would-be historical writers. Though Gus Dorsey, liGus Dorsey, like his comrade, the famous Jim Breathed, is little known to the Confederate societies of Maryland, both are most favorably known to that ideal soldier and gentleman, without an if or a but—Brigadier-tuart, in the terse, soldier words of Colonel (then Captain of Company K, First Virginia Cavalry) Gus W.

Andy Johnson and the Eagle Orator of Tennessee. The following capital hit, out from the "Editor's Drawer" of Harper's Magazine for 1856, is too good not to be re-produced, now that the very name of "Andy" stinks in the nostril of every tree Southerner, so naturally suggesting the ides of "carrion:" A Memphis correspondent gives the following passage in a debate between Andy Johnson, a candidate for gubernatorial honors, and Gustavus Henry, generally known as Gus, the Eagle Orator. The debate was severe, and excited much interest, Andy closed his speech with this annihilating declamation: "We met this eagle. and I can say, with an honest heart, that he has one of my flesh on his talomanone of my blood on his beak." This was good, and would here been stumps, but the undismayed Gus immediately rose to his feet and replied: "The true the honorable gentlemen has met the engine, and bears no traces of having left flesh on his talons or blood upon his beak.

nd on offering it for sale was assisted in so doing by Exannel Davenport, a free negro. Raemy, it seems, had over $1,500 in money sewed up in a side pocket of his coat for safe keeping, and, after getting to work, pulled off his coat, deposited it in his wagon, and put a lad to mind it. During the morning the notorious Wm. H. Ross, a free negro, discovered the coat, and suspecting its contents to be valuable, caught an opportunity and appropriated the pile to his use. When the coat was missed Ross inquired of Davenport what was the matter, confessed that he had taken it and intended to keep it, and said he had given $17 of the money to Gas, slave to Susan Hill. Gus denied all knowledge or participation in the crime, but the Mayor thought he was not guiltily, and therefore sent him and Ross to jail, to answer for the essence before a higher tribunal. (The police have been industriously engaged in endeavoring to discover and recover the money, but thus far have failed to trace it.]
