By order of Commod So on the night of — our fleet, consisting of the Manassas, the McRae, Joy, Calhoun, and the tug-boats Tuscarver to the forts. The belief was general that the Manassas had sunk one of the enemy's ships, but which one, ass at sea. It was afterwards ascertained that the Manassas had run in between the Richmond and the coal schooto use her as a floating battery, and with the ram Manassas and Montgomery rams (six or eight of them), the Mce Louisiana ram called the Governor Moore, the ram Manassas and the McRae, and also a number of fire-rafts andthe boats of the Confederate navy, viz: Louisiana, Manassas and McRae.

ed. Indeed it is a demonstrated fact, that demoralized and retreating Yankee infantry cannot be overtaken even by Confederate cavalry, vide battles of Bull Run, Manassas--first and second, etc. A frightened Yankee is unapproachable. We finally gave up the pursuit, and marched through Snicker's Gap. The Twelfth Alabama picketed oirst battle of Manassas. We were drawn up in line of battle at Newtown and Middletown, and ready to repeat the memorable lesson in running taught our enemies at Manassas this day three years ago. But they declined to give us the chance. Three years ago my regiment, officered by Colonel R. T. Jones, of Marion, Alabama, Lieutenant, with my company, then officered by Captain R. F. Ligon and Lieutenants R. H. Keeling, William Zuber and George Jones, were hurried on the cars from Richmond to Manassas, but reached there only in time to go over the battle-field after the fierce conflict was over. I saw hundreds of Brooklyn Zouaves, in their gay red breeches an

dient that the names of victories obtained over our own fellow-citizens should be placed on the regimental colors of the United States. This resolution would erase from the colors of the United States army such names as those of Cold Harbor, Manassas, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, which you have seen inscribed upon captured flags. Now we believe that we won those fights, and we wonder why a resolution of Congress should be necessary to blot them from the list of Union victories recorigade, seven thousand strong, would probably have taken some part worth reporting, and its name ought to appear in the official account. Drayton's command will be found mentioned in the official reports of subsequent operations of the army at Manassas and in Maryland. As to the unknown brigade, that I think will turn out to be a small command under General Evans, of South Carolina, who did not join the army until after it moved from Richmond. Note.--It is proper to remark that the army

ernor of Virginia: Governor — I have desired to call your attention to the necessity of making provision for replacing the Virginia regiments transferred to the Confederate States for twelve months previous to the limitation of their present term of service. I hope the late law of Congress will induce them to re-enlist. But should it not, I tremble to think of the different conditions our armies will present to those of the enemy at the opening of the next campaign. On the plains of Manassas, for instance, the enemy will resume operations, after a year's preparation and a winter of repose, fresh vigorous and completely organized, while we shall be in the confusion and excitement of reorganizing ours. The disbanding and reorganizing an army in time of peace is attended with loss and expense. What must it be in time of active service in the presence of the enemy prepared to strike? I have thought that General McClellan is waiting to take the advantage which that opportunity wi
