of artillery and a number of prisoners, and the next morning secured a quantity of small-arms. My loss during the day was 9 killed, 67 wounded and 11 missing. The number of prisoners captured I estimated at not less than 100, 2 pieces of artillery and a quantity of small arms, blankets, etc. Lieutenant-Colonel Badger and acting adjutant Lieut. A. S. Pope are both worthy of complimentary mention for gallantry on the field. In the absence of Major Lash, who was detained on other duty, Captain Gorman acted major and rendered efficient service. The whole command, officers and men, were distinguished for their gallantry and good conduct during the action. At the battle of Missionary Ridge, of the 172 men engaged of the Fourth, all were killed, wounded or captured but 18. At Dalton, on the 23d of February, 1864, the regiment was consolidated with the First Florida dismounted cavalry, which had lost all its field officers, and of 200 men engaged only 33 effectives were left.

to Young's point. A canal will be at once surveyed and cut. The weather is highly unfavorable for operations. Streams are all very high, and it is still raining. The work of reducing Vicksburg will take time and men, but can be accomplished. Gorman has gone up White river with a great part of his force. So many boats being kept there makes it almost impossible to get transportation for troops. Both banks of the Mississippi should be under one commander, at least during present operations.des myself agree in the necessity of the course I had already determined upon pursuing. Admiral Porter told me he had written freely to the Secretary of the Navy, with the request that what he said might be shown to the Secretary of War. General Gorman had gone up White river, with most of his force, taking a great deal of the river transportation with him. I find great difficulty in getting boats to transport the troops. With the orders I gave, however, to release boats as fast as they ca

selfish devotion that inspired it. They have reared a noble monument to the memory of the Confederate dead, and in doing so, have safely perpetuated their own glorious memory and worth. At the conclusion of Colonel Sanford's eloquent words, Miss Gorman sang Dixie, in a sweet voice, to the accompaniment of the Second Regiment band. Ex-Governor Jones's Address. Then Colonel Sanford turning to ex-Governor Thomas G. Jones, the orator of the day, introduced him in eulogistic terms to the veed the inscription that is carved under it.

for Baker to break and drive the Confederate left so that when they are pushed, Gorman (at Edwards' Ferry) can come in on their flank. Stone's strategy was good, butrcements and ammunition, but got no response than Tell Hunton to hold on. As Gorman was making no aggressive movement from Edwards' Ferry, Evans concluded that he rksdale and his Thirteenth Mississippi Regiment were omitted. Remembering that Gorman's Brigade was at Edward's Ferry, numbering, according to official reports, 2,25 them from the Bluff, the importance of this role can be appreciated. Whenever Gorman's skirmishers advanced they were met in fierce contest and promptly driven backirecting the general operations. In detaching two-thirds of his command from Gorman's front to reinforce Hunton at the critical juncture he evinced strategic skillin the battle. The Federal forces, under Baker, in the battle — not counting Gorman's 2,250 at Edwards' Ferry—comprised the Fifteenth Massachusetts, 600; the Twent

alled Edward's Ferry. Conformably to the instructions he had received, Stone made some feints to induce the enemy to show his strength. Six regiments, under General Gorman, were sent to Edward's Ferry, and the greatest portion of a brigade, temporarily commanded by Colonel Baker, was collected at Conrad's Ferry. In the afternoon of the 20th Gorman made a show of embarking, and in the evening he sent a few mounted men across the river, while a party of skirmishers, crossing the stream in front of Harrison's Island, climbed up the acclivities of Ball's Bluff. The latter proceeded as far as the outskirts of Leesburg without finding any trace of the enemy;d immediately after have been brought back from the other side of the river. But at that moment General Stone, who had just witnessed the passage of a portion of Gorman's brigade at Edward's Ferry, full of confidence in the success of his manoeuvre, sent the Twentieth Massachusetts to Ball's Bluff, together with the detachment of

ure of five thousand soldiers, with all their officers and seventeen guns, amply compensated the efforts of McClernand's troops. His success was complete. The Arkansas River was opened and Hindman's army paralyzed by a blow which cost him the loss of an entire division, composed of three of his best brigades. Sherman wished to push as far as Little Rock, but McClernand was not willing to exceed the instructions he had received, and merely sent an expedition composed of light steamers with Gorman's brigade on board into White River. The latter proceeded up the river for a distance of about eighty kilometres, and again joined his chief, after destroying a camp of the enemy situated at Duval's Bluff, and several depots belonging to the Confederate army in the small town of Des Arcs. In the mean while, McClernand dismantled the works of Fort Hindman, after which he re-entered the Mississippi with all his forces. At Napoleon he found an order from General Grant directing him to return

ought to Nor-folk this morning which did not explode It is a dangerous looking missile. I saw another small piece of shell not larger than my hand. Capt. Dayal, of the Georgia Battalion, who is stationed at Sewell's Point, informed, me that nobody was hurt, and that little harm should be done at the distance of four or five miles. Our boys, in the meantime, will stand firm by their battery. An amusing chase took place between one of our tug-boats and old Abe's steamer Cataline, on Sunday, near Newport News, the latter flying at full speed and the Confederate steamer Empire close behind her. The Cataline received one or two shots, and would have been captured by the daring conduct of Capt. Parrish, had not the guns of the Cumberland been brought to bear upon her. Three suspicious individuals were taken up to-day and are undergoing a trial in Norfolk, I suppose they will be dismissed, as they purport to be deserters and from Fortress Monroe. This is what I heard. Gorman.

emy on the earth. We have a valiant, though a degenerate and demoralized foe to contend with. But arouse, patriots of Virginia, to the rescue; liberty in the hands of a tyrant is death to a freeman. Your homes and firesides are invaded; the sacred altars where your fathers knelt are desecrated by the hand of infamy and dishonor. Victory is to the brave, but defeat is to the coward. The love of one's place is felt by a patriot, and instinctive, he will defend it; but treason to one's State should be death to the offender. Our camps are enlivened by the reports of battles in various quarters, yet little credence is given to rumors. Two deserters from the Georgia troops occurred at Sewell's Point Thursday morning. They were both Northerners and were conveyed over to Fortress Monroe in a boat by a negro, who was forced into service; but was permitted to return to the Georgia camps.--Com. Pendergrast informed Capt. Smith of the intention of the men to go North. Gorman.
