the system of unshipping bulwarks at pivot guns, a considerable space is thereby exempt from the danger arising from splinters. The Kearsarge fired one hundred and seventy-three shot; the Alabama, about twice that number, her firing being rapid and nearly incessant up to the period of the striking of colors. The carnage on board the latter is reported terrific; many of her crew were literally torn in pieces by an eleven-inch shell; others were much mutilated by splinters. By a merciful Providence, our ship's company were spared such appalling accidents. The wounded of the Alabama were brought on board for treatment. Those whose names and nature of injury were noted, are borne upon a list appended to the quarterly report. Others, with injuries less severe, were treated, and subsequently went on shore with the uninjured paroled crew. Assistant-Surgeon Doctor A. Llewellyn was drowned. The Surgeon, F. L. Gait, (acting paymaster,) introduced himself while I was engaged in the a

A. A. and I. G., Headquarters Department Northern Va.: General: I have the honor herewith to submit to you a report of the battle of Port Republic, fought on the eighth and ninth of June, 1862. Having, through the blessing of an ever kind Providence, passed Strasburgh before the Federal armies, under Generals Shields and Fremont, effected the contemplated junction in my rear, as referred to in the report of the battle of Winchester, I continued to move up the Valley turnpike, leaving Strasartfelt thanks. They fought gallantly and desperately, as our holy cause urged them to do, and though temporarily repulsed, it was only from overwhelming numbers. Although exposed to such a withering fire, the killed are few in number, a kind Providence having guarded many from the great dangers to which they were exposed. Colonels Allen and Ronald were so far separated from me, I must refer to their respective reports for the operations of their regiments. To my staff, Captain O'Brien, Lieu

as forming, a North Carolina regiment came up, and assisted us in giving a complete cheek to any farther movement of the enemy in this quarter. Thus ended one of the most desperate charges I ever before witnessed; and I feel thankful to a kind Providence that so many of us escaped, to witness the most complete triumph of our arms in the hardest contested battle before Richmond, and the one which decided the fate of the Yankee army. That night the regiment, in connection with Colonel Hamilton'st to mention Mr. S. H. Bell and Mr. Wm. J. Hunter, citizens of Augusta County, for their prompt and humane efforts in attending to and removing the wounded and burying the dead. The list of casualties hereto appended is, thanks to a protecting Providence, small, owing to the interposition of the darkness of night and the overshooting of the enemy. On Tuesday, the first day of July, by order of General Winder, I had placed my regiment in the woods in rear of the battle-field. I had scarcely

om his flanking parties. Upon Colonel Jones's subsequent show of resistance, near where the engagement commenced, the enemy retired a short distance, and, about an hour afterward, retreated. Whilst Colonel Jones was gallantly leading his men in the charge, he received a sabre wound. I regret to say that, during the engagement, Major Marshall was captured. Having received information that only part of General Pope's army was at Culpeper Court-House, and hoping, through the blessing of Providence, to be able to defeat it before reenforcements should arrive there, Ewell's, Hill's, and Jackson's divisions were moved, on the seventh, in the direction of the enemy, from their respective encampments near Gordonsville. On the morning of the eighth, the enemy's cavalry, north of the Rapidan, was driven back by ours, under Brigadier-General Robertson. Our cavalry pursued the enemy's on the direct road from Barnett's Ford to Culpeper Court-House, and was followed by the other troops, Ewel

field guns. A good many shells flew over us, and seemed well aimed along the general course we had to take. But they passed beyond, or fell short; or when the ground turned us to the right or left, they deviated the other way. These occurrences, and the remarkable fact, that just when nearing the enemy, our batteries had to pass a rocky hill, likely to occasion great noise, the heaviest rain fell, and drowned the rattling of wheels, &c., made upon many the salutary impression that a kind Providence favored our enterprise. Forty-one, out of the forty-three guns enumerated, were brought into action. It being deemed imprudent to crowd more in the space, and the two heaviest, intended to act with Captain Dabney's long rifles, Captain Milledge having found it impracticable to get sufficiently early into position. The casualties we suffered were as follows: At one of Captain Dabney's large guns, by an exploding shell of the enemy, one man killed and two wounded, and three horses sli
