e bird flutter in the dust. The scream of shells and screech of minnie balls afford one the not very pleasing discrimination between the two modes of coming by his death. I prefer the "half shell" in a restaurant myself, and for your minutes, the only one I ever did fancy was a little woman by that name, who dwells where the "blue grass" grows, and the rich fields of Lexington sweep outward to the Ohio! The demonstrations of the enemy upon our flank and rear are as yet undeveloped.

At this moment I could not tell you precisely the status of the rear, for I am in from a different latitude, where no thought is taken of anything but the enemy in front; but feel certain that General Johnston is advised of all that transpires,

se as the enemy's works were of the most formidable kind, and our men charged across an open field of some thirteen hundred yards in extent. The enemy were well posted, and, besides occupying an advantageous position behind their breastworks, had one or more regiments posted in a thicket of pines, which poured a very severe enfilading fire into our charging column. The charge was highly successful, despite the advantages of the enemy. Our column was under the immediate command of Gen. D. H. Hill, but General Beauregard was on the field, and his presence inspired an enthusiasm which rendered our men irresistible. The scene of the fighting was about seven miles from Petersburg, between Port Walthall Junction and Chester, in the county of Chesterfield, and some two miles east of the railroad. At the breastworks the fighting is said to have been furious, our men bayoneting and beating each of the enemy as had the temerity to remain with the batts of their muskets. An attempt was

under General Beauregard. We have some further particulars of the operations on the south side of the river. On Thursday night some infantry firing, caused by the Confederates throwing up some breastworks near the Yankee lines, which the Yankees resisted. Friday morning there was more firing between skirmishers, and about 10 o'clock a charge was made by our forces upon the enemy's breastworks, and the engagement became general along the line. Martin's and Clingman's North Carolina and West's Virginia brigades participated, and, although subjected to a gulling fire, succeeded in driving the enemy from his breastworks, and taking possession. We lost heavily. It could not well have been otherwise as the enemy's works were of the most formidable kind, and our men charged across an open field of some thirteen hundred yards in extent. The enemy were well posted, and, besides occupying an advantageous position behind their breastworks, had one or more regiments posted in a thicket
