ind of Battler we give thanks for our success and our safety. Captain P. H. Colquitt, of the City Light Guards, Columbus, Georgia, was in command during the engagement, and his remarkable coolness and self-possession did honor to himself and to his State. His clear voice could be heard amid the cannon's dealing boom--"Keep cool, my bear men, don't get excited; aim your pieces well" I can never forget the appearance of his face, radiant with smiles as he gave his commands. So gallantly did he conduct himself. that General Gwyun has made him chief in command at Sewell's Point. Long live his name in the memory of his countrymen. A graduate of West Point — of distinguished ancestry — cool and self-possessed he will ever be the same dreadful foe to Lincoln's emissaries he was on the long-to-be-remembered 19th.

His company consists of about 90 men, used to the rifle, mounted on the best of chargers, and ready and impatient for the conflict. This company is well drilled in cavalry tactics, can compare with any company in the State in that respect, and is making rapid strides in infantry drill. All the

West Point. A correspondent of the Richmond Examiner says: The preparations for the defence of York River have greatly increased the business of the York River Railroad. The cars, on Saturday morning, when I left Richmond by this route, for West Point, were crowded with recruits, officers in uniform, and the usual and varied assortment of passengers. A long freight train, filled with the provisions and munitions of war, denoted efficient Quarter-masters and Commissariat Departments upon York River. An hour and a half suffices for the performance of the journey from Richmond to West Point. The road traverses a country by no means as level and accessible to an invading foe as those who have never traveled it suppose.--To tuccessful guerilla war. Like all narrow strips of country separating two great rivers, the country between Richmond and West Point is, for the most part, broken and uneven. Hills, valleys, swamps, marches, jungles of dense underwood, heavy bodies of
