, all of which was promptly done. I then sent a order to Col. Lytle to form his brigade on the right in good position, and galloped back to placed Harris's brigade in position to resist the advance of the enemy, which I was just informed by a messenger from Capt. Wickliffe, of Col. Board's cavalry, was being made in that direction in great force of cavalry, infantry, and artillery. I aided Col. Harris, commanding the Ninth brigade, to form his brigade in two lines — the Second Ohio, Lieut.-Colonel Kell; the Tenth Wisconsin, Col. Chapin, and the Thirty-third Ohio, Lieut.-Col. Moore, being in the front line. Soon after this, by a messenger, Colonel Starkweather, commanding the Twenty-eighth announced his arrival on the left, his brigade having been unfortunately cut off and separated from my division by General Jackson's column that morning at Maxville, but he had the good sense, when he heard firing in front, to abandon the road, move around Jackson's column, and by going through th

pled. My officers and men behaved steadily and gallantly, and though they have lost their ship they have not lost honor. Where all behaved so well it would be invidious to particularize, but I cannot deny myself the pleasure of saying that Mr. Kell, my First Lieutenant, deserves great credit for the fine condition in which the ship went into action with regard to her battery, magazine, and shell-rooms, and that he rendered me great assistance by his coolness and judgment as the fight proce, being near, was hailed by Captain Winslow, and requested to aid in picking up the men in the water. The request was complied with, and the Deerhound, after having rescued, as supposed, about twenty persons, including Captain Semmes and First Lieutenant Kell, immediately left, running toward England. Captain Winslow says the reason he did not pursue her or fire into her was that he could not believe any one carrying the flag of the royal yacht squadron could act so dishonorable a part as to

s for gallantry and good service in this terrific battle. I make no distinction between these troops and my brave volunteer regiments, for in my judgment there were never better troops than these regiments in the world. But the troops of the line are soldiers by profession, and with a view to the future I feel it my duty to say what I have of them. The brigade was admirably and gallantly handled by Lieutenant Colonel Shepard. I lost some of the bravest and best officers I had. Lieutenant Colonel Kell, commanding Second Ohio, was killed. After he fell his regiment was efficiently handled by Major Anson McCook, who ought to be made Colonel of that regiment for gallantry on the field. Colonel Forman, my brave boy Colonel of the Fifteenth Kentucky, also fell. Major Carpenter, of the Nineteenth infantry, fell in the last charge. His loss is irreparable. Many other gallant officers were lost. Of the batteries of Guenther and Loomis I cannot say too much. Loomis was Chief of A

In this charming photograph of Milbrook Manor House near Southampton, England, appears a scene of 1864 at the quiet country-place to which Admiral Semmes of the Confederate warship, Alabama, and his chief executive officer, Captain Kell, retired for rest and recuperation after the loss of their vessel in the battle with the U. S. S. Kearsarge off the coast of France. On the right of the picture is Captain Kell, convalescing from his wound in this gCaptain Kell, convalescing from his wound in this green, shaded retreat. Exquisitely rendered by the camera are the hoopskirts, the flowing scarfs, and the old-fashioned blouses of the women in the picture. Under a glass the detail comes out with startling reality, and for a moment the atmosphere of the place and the time is restored. The beautiful, vine-clad manor house, with

boats to rescue their own crew, but who, it appears, deserted them and sought refuge on board their English tender. It is generally supposed that Capt Semmes escaped in this yacht, although among the officers of the Kearsage this is by no means considered positive. One of the men taken prisoner asserts that the last he saw of the Captain, just before the ship went down, he was going into his cabin, while another asserts that he saw him alongside of him in the water. It is proven that Mr. Kell, the first lieutenant and executive officer of the Alabama did escape in one of the boats of the Deerhound. It has since been stated and believed, that the yacht, which had been two days in port, was alongside the Alabama shortly before her departure, and that Capt Semmes put on board of her his chronometer and other articles of value. It is thought she might have saved a dozen men altogether — These, in good faith and legally, should have been delivered to Capt. Winslow. When they w
