es. The entire building was shrouded in darkness during the dreadful night. Sleep was impossible, as the. groans, sighs, shrieks, prayers and oaths of the wretched sufferers, combined with my own severe pain, banished all thought of rest. Captain Hewlett, of Company H, wounded in the thigh, lay on the floor beside me. Wat. Zachry, Sergeant Carr and Tom Crawford, wounded men of my company, made their escape from the city just as the Yankee cavalry entered it. A few noble ladies of Winchesterful cost to them, if it be a victory at all. September 20th Surgeons Cromwell and Love, of North Carolina, and Surgeons T. J. Weatherly, of the Sixth Alabama, and Robert Hardy, of the Third Alabama, were left in charge of our wounded. Captain Hewlett and I were removed to a well ventilated room on the second floor, and placed on a comfortable mattress. A short time after an elegant lady came in to see us, and inquired from what State we hailed. I replied, Alabama, whereupon she said sh

equest of Dr. W., and the ladies promised to tell her of my presence in Martinsburg. I was carried into the church, and placed on some straw beside my friend Captain Hewlett. In a short while the venerable Dr. McSherry, with his accomplished daughter, entered the church, and were conducted to me. They were very kind; gave us some fellows! How I wish I were with them, instead of languishing in a Yankee bastile! October 25th A number of slightly wounded, among them my good friend Captain Hewlett of Company H, were sent off, we suppose, to Fort Delaware.

These men are sent off to make room for the newly arrived wounded men captured at Cedar Creek, Virginia. I am pronounced too weak to accompany those sent off. Some of my own regiment have arrived, among them Sergeant Burton, of Company B, from Coosa county, and Tony, the Italian, belonging to Company A, from Mobile. From

Diary of Captain Robert E. Park, of Twelfth Alabama regiment. [continued from October Number.] December 9th, 1864 Letters have been received from Captain Hewlett, now at Fort Delaware; from Misses Lizzie Swartzwelder, Nena Kiger, Gertie Coffroth and Jennie Taylor, of Winchester, and Misses Anna McSherry, Mollie Harlan and Mary Alburtis, of Martinsburg. The dear young ladies who write me so promptly and so kindly have my warmest gratitude for their cheering letters. These charming, hitherto unknown Cousins, contribute greatly towards relieving the tedious, unvarying monotony of this humiliating prison life. Additional insults in different ways are the only change, and keep us in a constant state of excitement and indignation. The very confusion and turmoil is monotony. Private Sam Brewer, of my company, also wrote me from Elmira, New York, where he is confined as a prisoner of war. Sam was the well known, humorous sutler of the Twelfth Alabama. He says that a poor,

After the rigid search, we were ushered into the officers' barracks yard, where, crowding near the gate, along the plank walk, and at the windows and doors of the nearest divisions (as the rooms of the barracks were designated), we were greeted by hundreds of fellow prisoners, all eager to catch a glimpse of the new arrivals. As the gate swung open and we entered, suddenly the shout Fresh fish was raised, and the different divisions were speedily emptied of their inmates, who rushed eagerly toward us, inquiring where we were from, the latest news from Dixie, etc. The scene was an animated, but painfully sad one. Many old comrades in arms met me cordially, and invited me to their quarters. I ate dinner with Captain Hewlett, and located in division 22. It was greatly crowded, and at night I slept on the cold plank floor, over some cracks, through which the bleak wind whistled ceaselessly throughout the long, dreary, wintry night.

he Yankees some of their valuable carcases, we prefer to withhold. If they keep on they may yet stumble upon some unpleasant customers. The Fredericksburg, News, in speaking of the affair, says: The females were frightened and the darkies left the corn-field in great precipitation. The shells burst over the village, filling the air with smoke. Last week they went up the Currytoman and ravaged several farms. From Dr. Curry they took 30 negroes and all his cattle, and from Mr. Hewlett four negroes. From Mr. Hurst, in Northumberland, on the chesapeake Bay, they took six negroes. Landing of troops at Mathias Point — out-rages of the Yankees, &c The Fredericksburg Herald, of Tuesday evening, has the following particulars of the landing of Federal troops at Mathias Point, and their subsequent retreat therefrom: The enemy made a landing at Mathias Point about two hours before daylight on Monday morning, in numbers reported at from 60 to 200.

I also appeal to friends who would prefer this branch of the service in Hanover, Louise, Orange, Spotsylvania, Stafford and other counties, to raise companies, that we may organize a battalion, whose conduct will secure the confidence, and whose deeds of darling will win the grateful admiration of our countrymen. We shall receive the same pay, &c., and be subject to the same regulations, as other troops, and in addition be entitled to all the spoils which we may capture. There are many Marylanders who, no doubt, would prefer the service of Independent Rangers. Let them unite with us, and we will help them drive the enemy from the soil they have so long pointed.

her side. On Wednesday and Thursday, the same force of tories and deserters made their appearance on the mountains of Marion, Winston and Walker counties, coming within ten miles of Jasper. They burned Allen's cotton factory, and destroyed much of the property of the loyal citizens — even tore up the dresses of the ladies, and broke the furniture and crockery ware at every house they visited. They camped within ten miles of Jasper on Friday night--left on Saturday morning, and appeared at Boyler's, near Davis's Stand on Monday last. They had three wagon loads of ammunition, which they were distributing among disloyal citizens. There is said to be a large number of these tories and deserters at Glendale, on the Memphis and Charleston railroad, between Bear creek and Corinth; and from Glendale raiders are frequently sent. Lieut.-Col. Hewlett informs us that the Federal have completed the Memphis and Charleston railroad to Bear creek, and are building a bridge across it.

tral railroad, nine miles from Richmond. Our troops are in the best of spirits, with a morals unbroken, and a discipline unexampled. From Fredericksburg. Persons who left Spotsylvania county on Tuesday last bring interesting intelligence from Fredericksburg. They learned that pickets had stated that the whole of the enemy's force there was under marching orders. The town was only held by cavalry, who were moving everything away as rapidly as possible. The railroad bridge across the Rappahannock has not been rebuild. It is represented that the people have been treated tolerably well, but the whole country in the vicinity has been rendered a desert. The Yankees have inflicted a good deal of damage upon the railroad. The persons who brought this information came by way of Beaver Dam, and report that no enemy had been nearer that point on the Central Railroad for several days than Hewlett's, which is eight miles from Beaver Dam, in the direction of Hanover Junction.

fact that in the fighting yesterday the advantage remained with the Confederates. Large fires, five in number, and apparently some four or five miles apart, were seen yesterday in the direction of Old Church. The impression prevails that the enemy were burning the farm houses in that vicinity, though they may have been destroying their own stores. The Yankees have torn up about five miles of the track of the Central Railroad (the New York World's correspondent claims eight) above Hewlett's, and rendered a good deal of the iron totally unfit for use. This was done in furtherance of their purpose to evacuate that line, and under the supposition that it would cut off one of our avenues of communication with the interior. It is believed that the enemy now occupy Tunstall's Station, on the York River Railroad, twenty miles from Richmond. A picket who left the vicinity of the White House on Tuesday evening reports that the fields in the neighborhood of that place were liter
