The company had three separate captains on that terrible day. The first was made major; the second, Thomas Watson Cooper, class of 1860, was killed; the third, Edward R.

light of all I have seen and read, I do not believe that any country in the world's history, before or since, has produced a braver or nobler set of men than those who constituted the Confederate cavalry. There is, first of all, our own glorious Wheeler, Bedford Forrest, J. E. B. Stuart, Hampton, our own gallant and chivalrous Kelley, our own W. W. Allen, Fitzhugh Lee, Martin, Humes, VanDorn, Robinson, Chalmers, Hagan, Adams, Armstrong, Ashby, Brewer, Williams, John H. Morgan, Basil Duke, Iverson, Brewer, Wade, Clanton, John T. Morgan, Roddy, Buford, Wailes, Prather, our own Tom Brown, Terry and Wharton, Charley Ball and a host of others, good and true men, of whose heroic deeds it would be pleasant to tell you, but time will not permit. I did not mention the name of poor Clay King. He deserves a better fate. Let me tell you one instance showing the gallantry of of this man: At Booneville, Miss., while we were led by General Chalmers, with the 8th Confederate on the left, Clant

tached from Sherman's army in front of Atlanta with a view to destroying the Macon works and releasing the Federal prisoners at Andersonville. We were out for a couple of days and nights and intermittantly under fire for several hours, with a few casualties, when the enemy was driven off by the small Confederate force, consisting of a fragment of a Tennessee battalion, some Georgia troops and the ordnance command, and a day or two later, Stoneman with about 700 mounted men surrendered to Gen. Iverson who had been sent after him. When brought into Macon as prisoners of war, Gen. Stoneman and his staff officers, who were jaded by hard riding and lack of sleep on their raid, seemed much mortified on learning by what sort of force they had been repelled. Again, in the latter part of November of the same year, Gen. Sherman, having begun his march to the sea, the fifteenth corps of his army, with Kilpatrick's cavalry forming the extreme right of the army, made a feint upon Macon, and ther

ranks evenly dressed, at right angles to Heath's front, with the purpose of taking the enemy in flank and rear. The distance to be traversed was greater than expected, and unexpected obstacles made several changes of direction necessary. Before the enemy was reached, Robinson's division had been moved forward to connect with Wadsworth's right, forming at the junction, the apex of an angle, while Schurz's division was pushed forward on Robinson's right, leaving, however, a gap between. Iverson's and O'Neil's brigades, sent forward by Rodes, missed their direction, and became involved in much confusion, during which they suffered a flank attack themselves, and met with stunning losses. The remaining brigades fared better and after a severe struggle, succeeded in forcing back their opponents. The appearance of Rodes was the signal for Pender's advance.

on December 17th. Both the South Carolina Senators have resigned their seats in Congress. The private dispatches from Georgia and Florida assert the readiness of those States for secession. Alabama will not be far behind, according to like reports. A private dispatch today, from Milledgeville, from a gentleman of highest standing, of talent and great discretion, says that the Legislature of Georgia will certainly call a Convention. The refusal of that body to elect a Senator in place of Iverson, is a significant indication of its willingness to secession. The greatest enthusiasm continues here. Speeches delivered every night to the same unwearied crowd." The views of Mr. Lincoln about the use of force in the case of secession seem to be borne out by some of the Republican papers at the North. In his Leavenworth speech he said: "Your own statement is, that if the Black Republicans elect a President, you won't stand it! You will break up the Union. That will be your a

secession of Alabama. Mr. Davis announced the secession of Mississippi, and made a speech, after which the seceding Senators rose and left the Hall, first taking leave of their old associates. The Kansas bill was amended and passed by a vote of 36 to 13. Mr. Crittenden's resolutions came up. Mr. Bigler advocated their passage. He denied the right of secession, and also of the right of coercion. Mr. Cameron endorsed Mr. Bigler's remarks, and in reply to a question from Mr. Iverson, said he would go even farther than Mr. Bigler to save the Union. He said coercion was a bad remedy for secession, and should be the very last. Mr. Mason called attention to some of Mr. Cameron's recent votes, for the purpose of showing the difference between profession and practice. Mr. Cameron said the difference between him and Mr. Mason was that he wanted an excuse for remaining in the Union, while Mr. Mason wanted an excuse to go out. Mr. Mason responded that he and p

Mr. Montgomery, of Pa., proposed that every member of the House resign, and thus bring the question directly home before the people on their re-election. Mr. McPherson, (Rep.)of Pa., characterized the Southern movement as a conspiracy, diabolical in its character, originating from disappointed ambition and natural inequality. Mr. Winslow, of N. C., obtained the floor, and the House adjourned. Senate.--Mr. Iverson, of Georgia, was discharged, at his own request, from further serving on the Committee of Claims. A bill providing for the removal of the St.Louis Arsenal, and sale of the land on which it is located, was passed. Mr. Crittenden's resolutions were laid aside, and the Tariff bill taken up and referred to a special committee. The Pacific Railroad bill was discussed. A warm debate ensued between Messrs. Douglas and Trumbull, and subsequently between Douglas and Benjamin.

Treadwell, a lawyer of New York, on Saturday handed Chief Justice Taney an affidavit, in which he charges Governor Floyd, Howell Cobb, Mr. Toombs, Mr. Iverson, Jeff Davis, General Lane, of Oregon, and all the seceding delegations, except Mr. Hill, of Georgia, and the greater part of the other Southern delegations in Congress, except Mr. Bouligny, by name, with treason and misprision of treason, and prays that Winfield Scott, James Buchanan, Robert Anderson and others may be summoned as witnesses. The punishment of treason is death, and of misprision of treason seven years imprisonment and a fine not less than one thousand dollars. Judge T
