onsisted of five battalions; one of these, a mounted battalion, was early detached and became part of the Tenth Confederate cavalry. The Legion proceeded to Montgomery nearly 3,000 strong, under the command of Col. H. W. Hilliard, and was placed in Mc-Cown's brigade. .It took part in the siege of Cumberland Gap, and spent the fall and winter in Kentucky and east Tennessee. In April, Col. J. Thorington took command of the Legion, and was succeeded in command of the First battalion by Lieut.-Col. J. Holt, the whole Legion serving in Gracie's brigade at Chickamauga. In this battle it earned a splendid reputation. The First and Second battalions suffered the heaviest loss, leaving more than half their number either dead or wounded on the field. Lieutenant-Colonel Holt was severely wounded, and the command of the First battalion fell upon Captain Huguley. Maj. Daniel S. Troy was in command after Chickamauga. Lieutenant-Colonel Hall and Captain Walden, successively in command of the S

s physical condition would permit. After the war he resumed planting, and continued in that occupation until his death. Brigadier-General James Holt Clanton was born in Columbia county, Ga., January 8, 1827. His mother was a relative of Gen. H. D. Clayton, of Barbour county, Ala., himself a native of Georgia. His father was Nathaniel Holt Clanton, who represented Macon county at one time in the lower, and at another in the upper house of the Alabama legislature. It was in 1835, when James Holt was eight years old, that the Clantons moved from their Georgia home and settled in Macon county, Ala. It was here that young Clanton grew up to manhood. His education ended with his admission to the college at Tuscaloosa; for his youthful ardor led him then to enlist as a private in Capt. Rush Elmore's company of Col. Bailie Peyton's regiment. Serving out his six months enlistment he soon after enlisted in the Palmetto regiment of South Carolina, for which Capt. Preston S. Brooks had co

(Nos. 2 and 3,) from the Ordnance Bureau. It is deemed proper to state, in further explanation of statement No. 2, that where no distribution appears to have been made to a State or Territory, or where the amount of the distribution is small, it is because such State or Territory has not called for all the arms due on its quotas, and remains a creditor for dues not distributed, which can be obtained at any time, on requisition therefore.

course of his remarks, counselled the preservation of the status quo by the Government; but said if peace were to be preserved, the South must act in a friendly spirit. It won't do to take the forts, ships and arsenals. He denounced the firing into the Star of the West, eulogized the magnanimity of Anderson, and argued against the right of secession. Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, maintained that the acts of the South were unjustifiable — that conspirators and traitors had been influencing the Executive for the last four years--the Republican party ought to die if it engrafts property in man on the Constitution, etc., etc. If the President had done his duty, these troubles would not now exist. Mr. Edwards, of New Hampshire, made a buncombe speech in favor of New England. His voice was for war — the Government that negotiates with traitors deserves the contempt of the civilized world.

From Washington. Washington, Jan. 17. --The President sent the nomination of Holt, as Secretary of War, to the Senate to-day. It was considered in Executive session. From all accounts, the preliminary discussion was of an exciting character. An effort was made by the oppositionists to refer it to the Committee on Military Affairs; but this was strenuously resisted, and the motion of reference was defeated by a vote of 34, against 13. The objection to Holt is that there is an opinioHolt is that there is an opinion that he is a coercionists. His confirmation now is considered certain. The nomination of McIntire, as Collector in the neighborhood of Charleston, is still suspended in the Committee on Commerce. The Alabama Senators were notified to-day, by telegraph, not to leave their seats until further informed. The trouble is in the refusal of the Delegates from North Alabama to sign the ordinance, unless the time of secession is postponed until the 4th of March. Although the Republican

ong, I will send you a quotation from Henry's speech on this subject. Gurley, of Ohio, once a Universalist preacher, and notorious for his pusillanimity, made the bitterest coercion speech of the season in the House on yesterday. One of his colleagues complimented him, at the close of his tirade, for so far departing from his religious convictions as to give his Southern brethren a plentiful supply of that subterranean fire in the existence of which he did not for a moment believe. Holt is foaming at the idea of Washington being invaded by Virginians at the time of Lincoln's inauguration. The very thought of such a thing, is said to make him tremble with rage. What the Scott-Buchanan dynasty intend to do at Charleston, is not known certainly.--Some say they will back Anderson with his whole power. Others say they won't send another man. I hear that Anderson himself is utterly opposed to the coercion system, and would gladly resign if he could do so with honor. If he

They join with me, in regret, that their offering in the present instance is so small, but we all indulge the hope, that the suffering families of our noble soldiers in our respective native counties may be so relieved, that we may soon again present a cheerful, (though small) and willing offering to the relief of the noble sons of Elizabeth City. Wm., H. Moozh, Geo. Sohoppert, Matthew Gemmell, Isaac James, Wm., D. Seal, James Holt, Chas. Holt, Thos. Newman. Enclosed please find $8, sent you for the relief of the Elizabeth City soldiers by the above armorers.

The soldiers of Elizabeth City, we are glad to
