As an example of the experience and efficiency of this artillery battalion, I need but allude to the cannoneer firing, for which it has become distinguished. From a light battery 6-pounder, thirty-three shots were fired in the remarkably rapid time of four minutes and seven seconds. This circumstance itself, as well as the incidents attending it, has been duly recorded in the War Office at Washington, and in the Military Departments of Paris and Woolwich. Rapidity of firing was not so much achieved on the occasion referred to, as excellent mark shots. This battalion numbers 500 men, rank and file, 325 of whom are now in Virginia, the remainder being in New Orleans. Its force of ordnance consists of fourteen field-pieces, composed of rifled cannon, howitzers and six-pounders, the last of which, are from the original Ringgold Battery. The status of the Washington Artillery is very high. In its ranks are young men of liberal education

The Virginia Regiment of which I speak was first organized some fifteen years ago, and has since that period been regarded as a crack corps, only inferior to the Seventh Regiment of New York. It has also "seen service"--I believe that is the military phrase — during what is designated the "John Brown war," which you will remember our connection with, and which was occasioned by the Abolitionist attack on Harper's Ferry, two years since. This regiment is now largely composed of the young gentlemen of Richmond, who perform all the arduous and sometimes distasteful duties of the camp with the alacrity and celerity of practiced veterans.

The color-bearer is Serg't Louis Montgomery, co-editor of the New Orleans Delta, and certainly one of the finest looking men in the battalion. I would tire yourself, and more especially your readers, if in one letter I were to enter into similar particulars regarding the other troops who compose the numerous army of the Potomac. Taking them as a whole, I never beheld finer bodies of men, or men who enter with more heartiness and willingness into the habits and spirit of true soldiers — Perhaps their only fault lies in an im
