fidelity with which they discharged the trying duties that devolved upon them. They had to penetrate the thickest of the fight to carry to their General intelligence of the state of the field, and they performed their duties throughout the day with fearless alacrity. The following is a list of officers of Gen. Shields' staff who were present and participated in the battle: Major H. G. Armstrong, O. V., Assistant Adjutant-General. Major R. C. Shriver, Capt. E. D. Mason, 0. V., Lieut. J. S. Jones, O. V., Aids-de-Camp. Capt. Ambrose Thompson, Quartermaster. Henry Bryant, Acting Medical Director. Our troops are now beyond Woodstock, where they are stopped for the present by the burning of a bridge by the rebels. This will be repaired in a few days, when we will follow up the good results attained by the battle of Winchester. New-York world account. Winchester, March 24, 1862. We are most unexpectedly called upon to report another battle which has added one mor

in Baird's line unseen in the thick forest, and his artillery and infantry opened an enfilade from King's front. Promptly as the fire opened, Col. C. H. Stevens commanded the Twenty-fourth to change front to the left, and was instantly wounded and disabled, his horse being shot. Lieutenant-Colonel Capers executed the change of front and directed the fire of the Twenty-fourth in reply. The gallant adjutant of the Twenty-fourth, Lieut. J. C. Palmer, fell pierced through the head. Then Maj. J. S. Jones was badly wounded, and in bringing up his right to form on the Twenty-fourth and Eighth Georgia, Colquitt fell. The assault was ordered, and while leading it Lieutenant-Colonel Capers received a serious wound in the thigh, his horse was disabled, and the little brigade was repulsed. Capt. D. F. Hill took command of the Twenty-fourth and Lieutenant-Colonel Napier, Georgia battalion, took command of Gist's brigade. In the battle of the afternoon the Twenty-fourth with the brigade ha

e air with great circles of smoke, while 20,000 brave men were marching in perfect order against the foe. The sight inspired every man of the Twenty-fourth with the sentiment of duty. As we were pressing back the enemy's advance forces, Lieut.-Col. J. S. Jones fell mortally wounded in front of the right of the regiment. General Gist, attended by Capt. H. D. Garden and Lieut. Frank Trenholm of his staff, rode down our front, and returning ordered the charge, in concert with General Gordon. Indjutant; Captain Bowers, Lieuts. Claude F. Beaty, Adrian C. Appleby, C. D. Easterling, McDaniel, and Andrews were conspicuous in the field for their gallant conduct. Private Adam Carpenter bore the flag with courage and faithfulness, and Color-Corporals Jones and Morgan were both wounded. Lieutenants Weeks, Tatum and Millen were severely wounded. I would specially commend the gallantry and devotion of the litter corps under Private Joseph Breland. They kept up with the regiment and rendered

led as he mounted the main line of works, fell inside and died upon his colors, upon whose folds are still seen marks of his blood. Lieut. James A. Tillman, Twenty-fourth South Carolina, led his company over the works and captured 40 prisoners and the colors of the Ninety-seventh Ohio, this being the only stand of colors captured by the Confederate forces. General Gist, gallant gentleman and soldier, was killed in the advance; Colonel Capers was dangerously, and his lieutenant-colonel, J. S. Jones, mortally wounded. The loss of officers and men in Gist's brigade was very great. On the march to Nashville it was commanded by Captain Gillis, Forty-sixth Georgia. Its senior officer, Colonel Capers, recovered and received a well-earned promotion. At the close of hostilities between the States, he dedicated himself to the church, and in that sacred calling has won eminence and the love of his people. Cheatham's division was commanded after the battle by the gallant Col. C. C. Hurt

I have followed exclusively the contemporaneous account, deriving, in the comparison of local duties, much benefit from a Ms. in my possession, by J. S. Jones, of Shocco, North Carolina. Elizabeth, as she heard their reports, esteemed her reign signalized by the discovery of the Chap. III.} 1584 enchanting regions, and, as a memorial of her state of life, named them Virginia. Nor was it long before Raleigh, elected to represent in parliament the county of Devon, obtained a bill Dec. 18. confirming his patent of discovery; D'Ewes's Journal, 339. 341. and while he received the honor of knighthood, as the reward of his valor, he al
