ole country, with one voice, should protest against such rash exposure of a life in which we are all so deeply interested, and upon the preservation of which so much depends. Col Taylor, his Adjutant General, had his horse shot. General Ramseur's wound is slight. Many valuable field officers were killed and wounded, but their names will appear in the lists of casualties in their several commands. I omitted to mention above that Major Hamilton, Commissary of Grege's Texan brigade, and Capt Barksdale, Quartermaster of the 18th Mississippi regiment, were killed at the Wilderness. They believed the hour of supreme trial had come, and that the final battle for our independence was about to be fought, and feeling that every man who could a musket should be in the field, they procured arms, though against positive orders, went into the fight, and fell with their feet to the foe, battling manfully for the right. The two armies, led by the most renowned chieftains on the Western Con

latest advices represent that they had gone to their entrenchments in the of Bermuda Hundreds, and under cover of their gunboats. The line of battle extended from the river to the Petersburg Railroad, and formed the segment of a circle. General Beauregard had received information that the enemy contemplated an attack upon his left, and that they had troops on their right for the purpose, expecting, no doubt, to break through our lives with comparative case. Acting upon this, he strengthen by way of placing himself beyond the reach of danger. The Southside is now the chief point of interest to residents of the capital, and it is fortunate that we have a commander in that locality in whom the people have full confidence. Gen. Beauregard's plans for the future are unknown, though, as the opposing forces are still confronting each other, a battle may be joined at any moment.
