ton, who was gathering an army with which to attempt the relief of Vicksburg. After the campaign in north Mississippi, the battalion participated in the campaigns of Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Atlanta and Nashville, and in the spring of 1865, after being consolidated with the Second battalion sharpshooters and the Sixty-fifth regiment, it served in the Carolinas, surrendering with Johnston at Goldsboro. The following officers succeeded those first named: Lieut.-Cols. A. Littlefield, Leroy Napier and Z. L. Watters, the last named commanding Gist's brigade at the battle of Nashville; Capts. (D) J. A. Hardin, (E) John A. Penn, (F) J. W. Boaz. The Ninth battalion Georgia volunteers had at first the following officers: Maj. J. T. Smith; Capts. (A) J. G. McMullen, (B) D. L. Gholson, (C) D. C. Young, (D) G. Eberhart, (E) S. G. Pettus. This battalion was sent to east Tennessee in April, 1862, and served in that department and in the campaign into Kentucky. Returning to Tennessee it

t with a destructive fire that shattered its ranks. For nearly half an hour the brigade stood its ground, until the lamented Colquitt had fallen mortally wounded, and in quick succession Colonel Stevens and Lieut.-Col. Ellison Capers, of the Twenty-fourth South Carolina, had been seriously wounded. When a third of the command had been killed or wounded, it fell back. At 4 o'clock, reinforced by seven companies of the Forty-sixth Georgia, under Maj. A. M. Speer, the brigade, under Lieut.-Col. Leroy Napier, of the Eighth battalion, supported the advance of General Liddell. The gallant Forty-sixth Georgia, occupying the right of the brigade, eager to avenge their beloved regiment, with a loud cheer charged through the wood before them, driving the enemy and capturing some forty prisoners. Nothing is more creditable in the two days fight at Chickamauga than the fight made by Walker's little corps of about 5,000 men. As General Walker said, the unequal contest they waged against overw

bolitionists. The bill was passed unanimously and wants only the signature of the President to become the law. The issue is with God. He knows how earnestly I have enquired of him for guidance in this hour of trial. There will be no fight at Fort Pickens for three weeks yet. Some of the most rabid secessionists here counsel delay in making another attack in order to let the fever at the North cool off. Our people are becoming daily more satisfied that they must sustain the government. Leroy Napier took $40,000 in the Confederate loan and gave $10,000 to the volunteers and their families. This is but an index of the popular feeling. We may have a long and hard fought war, but I do not believe it. May 6.—I made the acquaintance of General Beauregard this morning. He is decidedly Frenchy in his appearance; a small thin man, slightly gray and very pleasant in conversation. Why he was called here is left a secret to the administration.

Do you call this "Small Grain?" --Col. Leroy Napier left at this office yesterday a little sheaf of wheat, oats, and rye, in the talk, which had been pulled up from his fields. The sheaf measured over seven feet long, the oats being about four inches tallest. The stalks of all look like young caues; some of them are really three-eighths of an inch in diameter, and in the size of the stalks and heads they exceed anything of the kind we have ever seen. We are glad to see the Colonel able to make such an exhibition. He deserves to prosper. A man who has taken $10,000 in Confederate bonds, and subscribed in addition every cotton bale of his crop, is one whom every patriot will bid God speed in all his business undertakings.--Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.

Departure of troops. --The 10th Regiment of Georgia Volunteers, 1,000 strong, of which Lafayette McLaws is Colonel, Alfred Cumming Lieut. Colonel, and Leroy Napier is Adjutant, composed of ten companies, left the city on yesterday, via the York River Railroad, bound East. The men received their marching orders one hour before the line was formed and the command issued to strike their tents. Of course, when they reached the depot they were smartly blown, and in no humor to answer questions of any kind. Pendant to this regiment was a company of men called the "Bumgardner Excelsior Rifles, " some 25 in number, commanded by a man whom we heard called Ed. Richards.--The latter, in reply to a polite inquiry on our part as to the name, &c., of his command, very curtly refused the information sought, and volunteered his opinion in favor of the propriety of abolishing all newspapers, especially the Dispatch, against whom he exhibited unmistakable signs of ill-will.
