is altogether a miracle that he ever got out at all. At an early hour on Saturday morning, the 10th inst., a fight was opened in his front and all along the line. Several furious attacks were made by the enemy during the day and gallantly repulsed every time until 5 o'clock P. M., when a desperate and overwhelming assault was made upon the centre, first with grape and canister from a battery of six guns concealed in a ravine, and then a charge by three regiments of infantry, causing Col. Trimble and Major Halsey to give way and retire by the flank to the rear of Cols. Carter and Giltner. Pursuing their advantage, the enemy had the temerity to continue the charge through the open field upon Gen. W.'s batteries. When within about one hundred and fifty yards of the guns a most destructive and terrible fire was opened upon them, causing their solid columns to waver, break, and finally retreat in great confusion. The rout was complete. The position lost before was regained, and the

Pender, were promoted from the rank of Brigadier-Generals. Gen. A. P. Hill was assigned to the command of this corps, whilst Gen. Ewell retained Jackson's old corps, consisting of Early's division, Early having been made a Major-General in February, and receiving command of Ewell's bid division, Rodes's division, (D. H. Hill's old division) and Trimble's division, to which Gen Ed. Johnson, then just promoted to a Major-Generalship, was assigned. It will be observed that five of the six Major-Generals now in the infantry department of this army, and the two corps Generals, received their promotion during the year just ended. The army thus reorganized began to prepare in earnest for a forward movement, as was generally believed, into the enemy's country. Gen. Ewell's corps took up the line of march from its camps near Fredericksburg

Smith was left dead, and the body of Lieut. Colson, of Baltimore, and one of Gen. Trimble's rebel staff, as will appear from the following pass found upon his person: "Culpeper C. H., July 27, 1863.

Before selecting the officers who were to be sent South by flag of truce orders were received that none should be fixed upon whose wounds had thoroughly healed, the object being that no one should return home who could possibly re-enter the service. It was generally understood for some days prior to their departure that Gen. Trimble, who has lost one of his limbs, would be among the number, but on reaching his case the officer having the matter in charge telegraphed President Lincoln what should be done about it. Lincoln's reply was to ascertain whether he would be likely to enter the Confederate service if sent home. Upon interrogating the General as to his ability to do so, the old patriot, not understanding the trick, with his usual candor, promptly answered, "Oh, yes ! I think I am in a condition to enter the se
