Time fails me to record other names of officers and privates, whose conspicuous gallantry deserves honorable mention. Enough has been said to prove that the friends of this regiment in Virginia and Tennessee were not mistaken in their high estimate of its courage and good conduct. A Virginian. Lieut. Akers, of Lynchburg, belonged to Co. A.--He was reported killed, but I accidentally learned in Columbus form one of our escaped surgeons that he accompanied Lieut. A. to Cincinnati as prisoner, and he was recovering from his wound and doing well three weeks after the fight. I expect to have the pleasure of communicating this to his father on my return to Lynchburg. Col. Bates's many friends in Virginia will be pleased to learn that he has not lost his leg, and is doing well in Columbus, Miss. His abilities, as well as his services, richly entitle him to promotion.

It was called a rebel regiment, tendered before Tennessee had yet seceded, and in service in Virginia before its members had voted in camp in favor of secession. A noble regiment it was — its officers and men of the flower of Tennessee--gentlemen of position, wealth and character, and numbering more than 1,000 strong. I select it for another reason. After Nashville had fallen and Tennessee had been abandoned, it was asserted that some of the twelve months volunteers had deserted, and consequent unjust criticism was indulged in by indiscreet able mention.

Let me furnish an example in a hurried recital of the brave deeds of one regiment, which was among the first to rush from. Tennessee to the border of Virginia, where, for ten months, it labored and endured; and many of its officers endeared themselves to the people of Fredericksburg, and that section of our State. I allude to the 2nd regiment of Confederate States Tennessee Volunteers, commanded by Colonel W. B. Bates. It was called a rebel regiment, tendered before Tennessee had yet seceded, and in service in Virginia before its members had voted in camp in favor of secession.

Captain Humphrey Bate of Sumber county, was shot down in the first charge, gallantly leading his men. Four of his relatives were killed or wounded. His brother-in-law, Captain Jos. P.

1862. While Beauregard and I were gaining that brilliant victory at Corinth, without fighting or letting the enemy or our own army know anything about it, I was gathering materials for a history of the battle of Shiloh from some of the heroic actors and survivors of that bloody, brilliant day. I am not joking about Beauregard's "victory," because the retreat was a great triumph, if measured by its success, and the injury and loss inflicted on the enemy, which some of them, in spite of Halleck's lies, have had the grace to confess. We certainly "surprised" them, as well as ourselves. We lost some of our sick, who, in consequence of the "fall back." of course had a "relapse. " But, as to Shiloh, many incidents we hear daily which illustrate the undying (?) devotion of our soldiers to our holy cause, and prove how idle is the empty hope of Northern hordes to conquer by superior numbers the gallant army we oppose to them. Let me furnish an example in a hurried recital of the
