The havoc made by the Jefferson Davis on the Atlantic coast, the privateer having captured prizes which amounted to over $200,000, caused the greatest consternation and excitement in Northern ports. Immediately upon learning of her career, the government at Washington ordered a fleet composed of the Jackson, Crawford and Varina, in command of Captain Howard, to search for the Davis and destroy her, and it is a fact that the Davis turned the tables in capturing the ship Crawfordand burning her, after having taken aboard the crew of twenty-two persons. The career of the Davis was ended off the coast of Florida on August 16, when, as the ship was making an effort to sail into the port of St. Augustine, she struck. A small boat was sent ashore for help and the prisoners were landed, and the Confederate officers were greeted by the citizens

er this fire the two divisions were faced about and formed in line of battle, with Kershaw on the (now) right of the road, Custis Lee on the left. In Custis Lee's Division, Lieutenant Colonel John Atkinson's two battalions, 10th and——Virginia, the Chaffin's Bluff Battalion, and the 18th Georgia, Major Bassinger, all of the heavy artillery brigade, were on the right and a little thrown forward; next on the left was the Naval Brigade, Commodore Tucker, then Barton's and finally Lieutenant-Colonel James Howard's command, 18th and 20th Virginia. Majors M. D. Hardin and James E. Robertson, being the remainder of the heavy artillery brigade, held the extreme left. By the time this disposition was effected the enemy's fire had become very rapid and severe, being principally a spherical case. On our side we were compelled to receive it in silence, not having a single piece of artillery to make reply. The situation was now desperate, as we were entirely surrounded, and re-enforcement

s not remember Chancellorsville? Who can forget the incessant fighting of the 1st, 2d, and 3d of May, when we struck the enemy first in front, and then in rear, in the race down the plank road behind Rodes' Division after the Flying Dutchmen, of Howard's Eleventh Corps, when Jackson made his celebrated flank movement. （Howard's Corps was composed of Germans.) They were easy marks. But on the 3d, when we had to cut a road through the woods to prevent annihilation before we could get in positioHoward's Corps was composed of Germans.) They were easy marks. But on the 3d, when we had to cut a road through the woods to prevent annihilation before we could get in position, it was not so easy, and as far as the eye could reach when we debouched from the road there was nothing to be seen but lines of battle.
