senting arms, and Gen. Longstreet rode up to the carriage, and, having dismounted, saluted the Prince, for it was the veritable Prince Napoleon. The three gentlemen got out of the carriage, and the Prince uncovered. On his right hand stood General Johnston, the commander of our army, and on his left General Longstreet, Col. Preston, and several other distinguished military men. As the weather was excessively hot, and the men had been standing nearly three hours in the sun, the Prince very considerately (likely more on his than our account) proposed that only one regiment should go through the form, as it would have taken several hours for that immense body of men to have passed. Gen. Johnston requested Gen. Longstreet to pass one of his regiments in review, and he did the 1st Virginia Regiment that honor. Smith's band performed one of their best marches, and the regiment acquitted itself creditably. As we passed very near the Prince, I had an opportunity of seeing him. He ap

McClellan's warnings to the press, they will not hold their tongues. When a civilian obtains a little knowledge of military matters, it is impossible to make him keep the peace Nevertheless, leaky vessels may be of service to somebody. Our Generals will, no doubt, be ready for any movement of the enemy is any direction, whether by Dumfries, Winchester, Manassas, from Newport News across the river, or via Western Virginia and Kentucky. We now recollect it was Ray Mond who modestly suggested, in the beginning of the war, that "two well-equipped million of twenty-five thousand sick moving from Washington and Fortress Monroe upon Richmond," would capture our city with in . No doubt it was because Johnston and Beauregard at one point, and Marauder at another, would not permit the execution of this plan, that Richmond is not taken.

ing as Assistant Brigade Quartermaster to Maj. James H. Anderson, of Mississippi, and also as volunteer Aid to Col. C. H. Mott, who was then acting at commander of the Brigade in place of Brig. Gen. E. Kirby Smith, who was acting in place of General Johnston. Saturday morning I had ridden on, six or seven miles from Piedmont, by the dirt road, in the direction of Manassas, when Maj. Anderson requested me to go back and attend to some business in his department which he supposed had been neglectetfight at them; that a vast majority of our people were as brave as at the head of his conquering legions, while the majority of brave men among them was probably not quite so vast; that we had the best Generals on our side — Davis, Beauregard, Johnston, Lee, Magruder, Albert Johnson, Ben McCulloch, and others — while they had only Scott, whose sands of life are nearly run, and who is altogether too slow for such a "trial of conclusions" as our Generals have instituted; and that as long as we c

Thus I was allowed to go where I pleased until Sunday morning, the 21st July, when I was summoned to the presence of General Scott. "Asa," said he, with his foot in a bucket of ice water, "look at that dispatch, which I have just received from our brave General McDowell. Don't you think your Jeff. Davis, (here a horrible pain seemed to strike the old man) and your Beauregard, and your Johnston had better simmer down? Do you think they can stand before our brave 60,000." I didn't have any better sense than to tell old F. & F I thought they could. I read the dispatch, however, whch was as follows: Just this side of Stone Bridge, 8 A. M. Gen. Scott --We are moving along slowly and surely, taking masked batteries wherever we can pick'em up. We expect to reach Richmond--160 miles--this afternoon, in time to adjourn the Confederate Congress.
