e a pleasure to me to write them out from a roster of the company, which required years to complete, now at my disposal. The company was organized in Covington, Va., April 20th, 1861, hurried to Staunton, but was ordered back to rendezvous, for drill and equipment, soon thereafter repairing to Harper's Ferry, where it performed picket duty on Loudoun Heights and built block houses. A little later it assisted in the demolition of the Harper's Ferry arsenal and the burning of the great Potomac-river bridge. Then we were mustered into the old 1st Virginia Brigade, which the immortal General Bee said was standing at Manassas like a stonewall, while other brigades wavered from the clash and shock of that bloody conflict. There company A used musket, ball and bayonet, while at Kernstown, and thereafter, on too many fields to enumerate, as Carpenter's Battery, it sent forth its defiance in the deadly solid shot, the seething, hissing shell and the whistling grape and canister.

ich were necessary for the conduct of the war and the comfort of the people that was vastly more serious than was the disparity in numbers. Then there was a great disadvantage of geographical position and condition. The entire Southern section was divided from north to south by a great navigable river, the Mississippi. This enabled the Federal naval fleets to cut the Confederacy in two, and divorce its western from its eastern section. Its northern boundary was made by the Ohio and Potomac rivers, navigable for boats and largely used by war vessels and military transports. The Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the Southern country were beset by vessels of the blockading fleets. But so far as the fighting was concerned, it all went well in that part of the Confederacy east of the Alleghany mountain. Army after army, each time under a new commander, was dispatched by the authorities for the capture of Richmond, where the Confederate capital had been set up, and each of those armies

Therefore. I.

oot here for the murder of the Southern President, I have not a shadow of a doubt. From all I can learn here, I am satisfied that the authorities in your city, and throughout Virginia, are entirely too liberal with their passes for foreigners and strangers.--Scarcely an hour passes that some fresh arrival from the South is not announced to the Lincolnites of this place, many of them having plans of the works at Harper's Ferry, Manassas Junction, Acquia Creek, and along the York and Potomac rivers, and many of them being able to give the number of soldiers at each point, the strength of our batteries, the names of commanders, and the most accessible routes by which to attack them. If this liberality --this suicidal looseness of management — is to continue, the consequences may be serious, before we are aware of it. Without presuming to dictate to our leaders, may I not be allowed to suggest to them the impropriety of allowing any others than our own soldiers to enter any of our e
More firing. --Our correspondents give accounts of further exploits of the enemy on the Rappahannock and Potomac rivers. Depredations upon Virginia property are becoming too numerous.
