Doc. 44.-battle of Lewisburgh, Va. Colonel Crook's order. headquarters Third brigade, Lewisburgh, May 25, 1862. it affords the undersigned great pleasure in congratulating the troops of his command on their brilliant success of the twenty-third inst. We were attacked by a greatly superior force, who not only had the choice of position, but had the morale of the attack. The Thirty-sixth and Forty-fourth regiments formed line of battle under fire — a movement that veteran troops find very difficult to make. They then advanced in good order, driving the rebels before them, dealing death to and destruction as they went, until the enemy fled in great confusion, leaving over one hundred of their dead and wounded on the field. We captured four pieces of artillery, three hundred stand of arms and one hundred prisoners--the Forty-fourth capturing their battery, and the Thirty-sixth advancing under the heaviest fire. The result fully justifies the high standard these regiment

rave boys, for the flag is still there-- The flag of the Union--the flag of the brave-- From Atlantic's wild shore to Pacific's calm wave. Ah! soldiers and brothers! we women at home Are counting each step as you struggle to glory. Through the wood and the swamp, o'er the billow's light foam, Wherever you wander, we hark for the story. Each hope and each fear, with a smile and a tear, Your day's burning tramp or cold night-watch shall cheer, While we know that the flag of the Union must wave O'er the war-path now trod by the free and the brave. The day-spring is dawning — the hour and the man Are waiting and working to rescue the nation. McClellan, God bless him, will do what he can, And he's strong in his might as he's grand in his station. With his good arm to lead, no foe shall impede, While you fight side by side in our country's sore need; And the flag of the Union triumphant shall wave, O'er the land of our fathers redeemed by our brave.

l Partisan corps.--The following advertisement appeared in the Mississippian: Partisan Rangers. I have to-day received authority from the Secretary of War, at Richmond, to raise a corps of Partisan Rangers, to serve in the southern part of this State, for the war, where they are most urgently needed at this time, to check and intercept the marauding parties of our vandal enemies, who are every day committing robbery and murder upon Mississippi soil. They must be driven back. Bold, true, and earnest men, of any age, will be received in this corps; but no others are wanted, or will be retained. Each man will furnish his horse, saddle, bridle, double-barrel shot-gun or rifle, and clothing. Fifty dollars bounty and commutation paid to all who join this corps now. We will rendezvous at Jackson, Mississippi, on Tuesday, the tenth June next. Those wishing to join will find a list at Messrs. Allen, Ligon and Co.'s, Jackson. C. Mclaurin. Jackson, Miss., May 25, 1862.

of infantry and two pieces of artillery at the Clear Creek railroad bridge, until the last cars shall have left the depot here. Please arrange this matter distinctly with him. Would it not be prudent to send one regiment, two pieces of artillery, and some cavalry to protect your train? I think I would keep Price back in best position to move either to the rear to protect the train, if necessary, or to the front, in case of battle. George W. Brent, Acting Chief of Staff. Corinth, May 25, 1862. (F.) General B. Bragg, Corinth: General: From information received, Guntown, four miles and a half below Baldwin, is considered a better position for the defensive; hence we will go there. Please give the necessary orders. Small details must be kept in or about old camps, to keep up usual fires, on account of balloon, with orders to join their commands at ten hour, on the march to the rear, or in front, in case of battle. Not too many fires must be kept on the lines to-night, s

Ferry and the defence of our border. Yonder is the camp from which old Joe Johnston moved out to meet Patterson, and from which, after ably eluding his foe, he started on that forced march to save the country, which terminated in the brilliant victory of first Manassas. Looking southward, we see the field of Kernstown, where Stonewall Jackson first taught Shields the caution which he afterwards used with such discretion. There are the hills from which we drove Banks on the morning of May 25th, 1862, and in full view the streets of the town, through which we rushed pell-mell after the enemy, amid the waving of handkerchiefs by the noble women and the cheers of the whole people. Yonder is Milroy's Fort, which, in June, 1863, General Early says, was surprised and captured by Colonel Hilary P. Jones' battalion of artillery. And the very location of the cemetery is on a part of the field where, on the 19th of September, 1862, Early's little army had won a splendid victory over Sherida

jor Latimer withdrew all but one battery, which he kept to repel any infantry advance. While with this battery, this gallant young officer received, from almost the last shell fired, the wound which has since resulted in his death. Colonel Brown says justly of that calamity : No greater loss could have befallen the artillery of this corps. Major Latimer served with me from March, 1862, to the second battle of Manassas (August 28th, 30th, 1862). I was particularly struck at Winchester (25th May, 1862), his first warm engagement, by his coolness, self-possession and bravery under a very heavy artillery fire, showing, when most needed, the full possession of all his faculties. Though not twenty-one when he fell, his soldierly qualities had impressed me as deeply as those of any officer in my command. Immediately after the artillery firing ceased, which was just before sundown, General Johnson ordered forward his division to attack the wooded hill in his front, and about dusk the at
