thout shelter, in the rain. But no one thought of the exposure. They were looking forward, and you may feel sure that when these men and the men of South Carolina meet, the reckoning will be no light one. A rebel account. A gentleman who arrived in Richmond, direct from the scene of action, furnishes the following account of the Vienna fight: On Sunday morning, Col. Gregg received orders to go out on a reconnoitring expedition. He took with him 600 South Carolinians, a company of Kemper's artillery, and two companies of cavalry, including 45 of Capt. Ball's Chester company and Capt. Terry's company, of Bedford. He started at 8 o'clock A. M. They remained Sunday night at a place called Dranesville. On Monday morning, Col. Gregg, with a detachment of cavalry, went forty-five miles down to the Potomac River to make observations. They remained in the vicinity about an hour, and distinctly saw tents and men on the Maryland side. They judged they were about 300 men encamped a

and admiration for their handsome resistance on that ill-fated morning. The fragments of this and other Virginia brigades of Johnson's Division were thrown into one brigade under Brigadier-General William Terry, and from that time the conglomeration was styled Terry's Brigade. When General Lee moved from Spottsylvania Court House towards Hanover Junction, he left the worst wounded men of the Third Corps d'armie in permanent hospitals near the field of battle on the farm of Mr. Stuart. Dr. Kemper was left in charge of all; and Dr. Bushrod Taylor, Surgeon Forty-eighth Virginia, was left in charge of Second Corps Hospital. The army having moved sooner than it was hoped, we were left without supplies, in a wasted, impoverished, but kind community; exposedto the enemy; and, of course, in great straits. Our Corps Hospital had some 320 badly wounded, who required and had nearly 200 attendants, making in all about 500 men. Of this nmmber there were about fifty of the enemy's wounded, so

. I have enjoyed the privilege of being with him frequently, and have never seen a revival progress in a more satisfactory and promising manner. The Christian Associations which have recently been organized in the different brigades will, I doubt not, accomplish great good. They furnish an opportunity for the public confession of Christ and the enjoyment of the friendship of saints. They are a nucleus for lay co-operation with the chaplains, or lay labors in the absence of chaplains. In Kemper's brigade the revival, which began last spring, still goes on, chiefly under the ministry of Rev. Dr. Pryor, of the Presbyterian Church. He is a most laborious and efficient workman. In a circular sent out to the Churches and people by the Chaplains' Association of the first and second corps of General Lee's army, urging hearty co-operation in the work of saving souls, most cheering accounts of the revival were given: The Lord is doing wonderful things for Zion in the ranks of our

tle of July 2d, extending along the Emmittsburg road was a semicircular line of about forty pieces, farther south a few more, and on higher ground, as if in tiers, the remainder of that portion of Lee's artillery assigned to Longstreet, who was to attack the command. There were concentrated in this neighborhood at least 140 cannon. The ranges to the point of attack would vary from 1,000 to 2,000 yards. Pickett's division of three brigades was to make the main attack. It was formed with Kemper on the right, Garnett on the left, and Armistead in rear. Pickett's main force had in support Willcox's brigade on its right and Pettigrew's six brigades on its left. On our side, Hunt had arranged the artillery into four divisions: 1. On Cemetery Heights, under Osborn, having a large sweep of the front and right of my positions, 50 cannon. 2. Hazzard had 30 finely located close to the crest near Zeigler's Grove. 3.
