Lexington Artillery. --We have had the pleasure of an interview with Lieut. J. B. Brockenbrough, of Capt. Pendleton's Lexington Artillery, who was wounded in the great battle of the 21st. He has detailed to us many interesting incidents of this extraordinary contest. We learn from Mr. B. that none of his company were killed, and only three wounded--John Jordan, J. P. Smith and himself — none dangerously. The gallant Captain of this company is Rev. Dr. Pendleton, Rector of the Episcopal Church of Lexington, a graduate of West Point, and a splendid soldier. Mr. Brockenbrough, a gallant and promising officer, is one of three sons of Judge Brockenbrough, of the Confederate Congress, who are now in the Army.

he amendment provided for a difficulty the original bill failed to meet. It often happened there were companies left over after the organization of a regiment, sufficient to make a battalion. These supernumerary companies having no officers to command them, are kept inactive in the field until enough additions can be obtained to form a regiment. The amendment provided for rendering such battalions immediately serviceable by the appointment of proper officers to take charge of them. Mr. Smith moved a reference of the bill to the Committee on Military Affairs. Mr. Chesnut said he had some amendments to offer at the proper time, and moved that the bill be printed. Both motions prevailed. Mr. Perkins presented the claim of Dr. B. M. Enders, late surgeon in the U. S. Army. Referred to the Committee on Claims. Mr. Bocock presented the memorial of Dr. A. Y. Garnett, asking the amendment of an act passed last session in relation to the commissioning of naval officers.
