ce. The men as they passed us looked bewildered, as if they wondered what they were expected to do, or why they were there. However, they were soon halted and moved back. General Anderson, with the remaining brigades of his division— Wright, Posey, and Mahone—was expected to support the left wing of the column of attack. General A. P. Hill, his corps commander, says: Anderson had been directed to hold his division ready to take advantage of any success which might be gained by the assault's Division was ordered forward to support and assist the wavering columns of Pettigrew and Trimble. Anderson did not advance for the reason assigned by himself: At what I supposed to be the proper time I was about to move forward Wright's and Posey's brigades, when Lieutenant-General Longstreet directed me to stop the movement, adding that it was useless, and would only involve unnecessary loss, the assault having failed. Pickett's report destroyed. Who was responsible for the defe

hments, but that owing to the smoke of the battle he was unable to perceive a man of the division he was ordered to support, and being subjected to a severe fire, he determined to retire. Anderson says he was about to move forward Wright's and Posey's brigades when General Longstreet directed him to stop the movement as useless, the assault having failed. Rodes to the north of the town, says his troops were about half way between the artillery of the 2d corps and that on Cemetery Hill, thOn the following day I was directed to report to Gen. R. H. Anderson with two batteries. His division moving by Monterey crossed the mountain before dark. A section was left behind to guard the Emmittsburg road, and a battery with a regiment of Posey's brigade was thrown forward to the right upon a high hill overlooking the town of Waynesboro, to guard against any hostile force on that flank. The army moved rapidly, and on the 6th the main column reached Hagerstown, and a battery was sent

The National Crisis. can Fort Pickens be taken?--affairs at Fort Sumter--examining Ships' papers. Can Fort Pickens be taken? Ben Lane Posey writes a letter to the Mobile Advertiser, in which he disapproves of the granting of the armistice by the State authorities, and defends Gen. Chase from the attacks made upon him. On the possibility of now taking the fortress he says: But conceding that it was, or is a strong and terrible fortress, pray let them tell us when it will be less strong and terrible than now.--Shall we sit down before its walls and wait for some horn from Jericho to blow them down with its blast? If the argument is good for the present, it is good for all coming time. But Fort Pickens was not, at the time, either strong or terrible. It requires two things to make a strong fortress. First, the defences made by nature and art; and second, a garrison sufficient to make them available.--Gibraltar is rather a strong fortress, and yet Gibraltar ha

ining Light, Captain Walker--Which the rebels can easily distinguish by reason of the clearness of the night and the brightness of the moon. Both batteries are keeping up a rapid fire upon them. The flashes of two, three and four guns are seen simultaneously. Shells, with the burning fuse, are making graceful curves through the air like shooting stars, and then come the loud reports of their bursting. We have a fine view of this magnificent night cannonade from the rear verandah of Mr. Posey's residence. Some of the shells have struck the water, several are bursting in the air, and some have come over here to the Maryland shore. One shot, which ricochetted along the water, touched the side of the Shining Light about the water mark, but being spent, did not do any damage. About forty shots were fired by the rebels, but none of the vessels sustained any injury. The firing soon ceased, and everything was quiet during the remainder of the night. A further dispatch, dated

arrived without injury. Capt. West, of the Louisiana Infantry, fired a single shot, and without orders, in return. Half an hour later orders from Brigadier General Richard H. Anderson--commanding in the absence of General Bragg--were dispatched to the various batteries to concentrate their fire on the camps of the troops on the Island. The order was promptly executed by the batteries of Capts. West, Bachelor, Wheat, Taylor, and Lieut. Mader of the Louisiana Infantry; by Capts. Baker, Posey, and the entire line of batteries of the First Alabama Regiment, including Fort Barrancas; and by the guns of the Thirty-sixth Georgia and Mississippi regiments, reaching beyond and embracing Fort McRae. The fire from these guns was almost deafening, and far excelling in rapidity that of the action of the 22d November. The Yankees were soon dispersed in every direction, some seeking safety in holes, others behind sand hills, while by far the greater number took to their heels, laying i

ma regiment (which was one of the first regiments to enlist) have been discharged, their term of service being up. The remaining companies go out in March. Several efforts have been made, but with poor success to induce the men to re-enlist. Several days ago, however, Gen. Bragg appealed to their patriotism with stirring earnestness. He said that he would rather have one such regiment of veterans than three regiments of raw troops During that day an effort was made to re-organize the regiment. Three companies--Captains Clarke's, Smith's, and Posey's — declined to re-organize in this regiment. The seven other companies furnished a small number each, about 250 in all. This number will probably be increased to 300 or 350 in a few days. It is expected then to fill up the regiment by recruits. The troops at Pensacola have had a hard time of it, and want to go home to rest. At present, says the correspondent, the sickness and mortality among the new regiments is startling.

Sixteenth Mississippi regiment. At the battle of Union Church, on Sunday, the 8th inst., the 16th Mississippi (Col. Posey) greatly distinguished itself, and the Colonel was badly wounded. The regiment was placed in the woods to support one of our batteries, but the enemy discovering the position, shelled the ground occupied by the Mississippians. Under this heavy fire they calmly stood, waiting for the word to advance, until a Yankee column deployed into line of battle directly in their front, only forty yards distant. The 16th now delivered their fire, which was most deadly in its results. No less than 250 Yankees bit the dust and the column was completely broken. The Mississippians then charged upon the enemy, who fled in the utmost disorder. The conduct of the regiment throughout the conflict is much applauded.

rmer time, and our victory is a decided one. Barksdale's brigade made itself conspicuous in the beginning of the action, and I learn that it suffered severely. Among the noteworthy incidents is the fact that when Gen. Featherstone sent to Col. Posey, of the 16th, then in the advance position, desiring to know if he wished to be relieved, as he had been on picket 24 hours, the reply was, "Tell Gen. Featherstone that we will remain here, if necessary, until relieved by the squad who come to bury us." I send herewith an accurate list of the killed and wounded in the brigade: 16th Mississippi, Col. Cannot Posey. Company B--Wounded: T W Bass, slightly in ankle. Company C--Killed: Richard Bredon Wounded: W T McDade and S C Barkins, both slightly. Company D--Killed: W D Cole, - Wounded: H Hassan. Company F--Wounded: P C Smith, severely.

ing until the Wednesday following was fifteen miles. Commencing its muttered thunders at Deep Run, its real storm broke forth above Banks's ford, and culminated in the splendid fight and triumphant victory at Chancellorsville. Gen. Lee said the enemy's position could not have been stronger. They had three lines of entrenchments. It is said McClellan was there superintending the ditching. In every attack our men were successful. The enemy were driven in panic from their breastworks. General Posey's command alone took three miles of entrenchments. On Friday, McLaws's troops attacked and drove the enemy from a point seven miles from town and commenced the attack at Chancellorsville, ten miles from town, on Saturday. The night attack was made on Jackson by the enemy. Their repulse was complete and their destruction immense. It is said four Yankee Major-Generals were killed. The prisoners captured, the stores destroyed, &c., I am unable to state accurately. The most desperate f
