It may not have been mentioned before that the whole of Huger's division was engaged in the thickest of the fight on Tuesday, the 1st of July; but certainly the due tribute of praise has been given to the different brigades and regiments composing it.

Jackson is a brave, daring man, and we have few men in our army that are his equals. All I am sorry for is that he is not engaged in a better cause." Capture of arms. We are informed that Col. James D. Nance, with his regiment, the 3d South Carolina, portions of other regiments of Kershaw's brigade, and a detail of one hundred men from Gen. A. P. Hill's division, was sent on an expedition to Shirley last Thursday, expecting to attack the enemy at that point, and capture a number of arms left there by the enemy in their precipitate retreat. The command reached Shirley about 1½ A. M., when they bivouacked until daybreak, as the night was too dark for any operations. At daybreak the command was formed and cavalry scouts were sent out by Col. Nance and Capt. King, of Cobb's. Legion, when it was discovered the enemy were not present. N
Jenkins (search for this): article 1
seemed to be short of hands, the generosity of Marshal Griswold found him accommodations in Castle Godwin. The 2d South Carolina Brigade--miraculous This brigade, attached to Longstreet's division was under the immediate command of Col. Jenkins, of the Palmetto Sharpshooters, in the bloody fight of Monday evening, June 30th. In a brilliant charge upon a Federal battery, although enfiladed for more than three hundred yards by a battery of twelve guns, which dealt death and destruction throughout their ranks, the brigade never faltered, but obstinately pressed forward, routing and driving the enemy and capturing their guns. The gallantry of the Palmetto Sharpshooters is especially commended. Col. Jenkins made some almost miraculous escapes. His horse was twice shot, his bridle rein out in two at his hand, a part of his sword carried away by a grape, and broken close to his side by a Minnie, his sword knot cut, an India rubber blanket perforated fifteen times, and his right

Hood (search for this): article 1
from several yesterday, residing in quiet portions of the city, that heavy firing had been heard in the direction of the river during the forenoon. Diligent inquiry up to a late hour last night failed to elicit any information explanatory of these reports. Many persons residing along the line of the Norfolk railroad, who arrived yesterday evening, state that they heard the firing very distinctly in portions of Sussex and Prince George. A couple of Yankee prisoners taken yesterday, near Hood's, Prince George, were brought in by our pickets yesterday afternoon. They were members of some Pennsylvania cavalry regiment, attached to McClellan's army, and looked as little like equestrians as they did like honest men. One of them was entirely barefoot, both shabbily dressed, and apparently much jaded. They gave but little information, and evidently did not tell all they knew. They both agree that McClellan's army has recently seen as much of the South as they desire, and would gladly

e of the North. They regard him as one of those invincible beings whose purposes it is almost impossible to thwart. The statements of Yankee prisoners and letters captured upon the recent battle-fields indicate the dread which the mention of his name creates among them. As a specimen of these letters, we annex an extract from one written by a father to his son in the Federal army, dated Lewisburg, Pa., June 15, 1862: "It seems that Jackson is too much for McDowell. Siegle, Fremont, Banks, and Shields combined. They have not been able to catch him yet, and, from all accounts, I think they have been hurt pretty near as bad as he was. Samuel wrote that he wished Jackson would come that way, that the reserves would give him fits. Why, boys, if he would come that way, he would eat you up, Sam's horn and all. Jackson is a brave, daring man, and we have few men in our army that are his equals. All I am sorry for is that he is not engaged in a better cause." Capture of arms
