l Elzey, up to the time he was wounded; and I found them holding their ground well, and delivering their fire with accuracy and spirit. Those engaged were the batteries of Captains Courtnay, Lusk, Brockenbrough, Rice, and Raines, while those of Cutshaw and Caskie were held in reserve. As I got up, I found Captain Courtnay's battery withdrawing from the field, as also a part of Captain Brockenbrough's, having exhausted their ammunition. Upon inquiry, I found the other batteries getting short e direction of Port Republic. On our reaching the brow of tile heights, on the left bank of the Shenandoah, overlooking Port Republic, the battalion was detached from the rest of the brigade, and ordered to support a rifled piece belonging to Cutshaw's battery. The piece moved off to the left and assumed a position on the bank of the river. We followed it, and laid in a hollow nearly in its rear, until about half-past 2 o'clock in the evening. During this time, we saw parties of the enemy

anced from Warrenton. About half past 4 P. M., I think, I received orders from General Jackson to move up the whole artillery force, which was then lying around Sudley Mills. This I proceeded to do, leaving five pieces of Captains Caskie's and Cutshaw's batteries on the opposite side of the Catharpin Run, in position to command the ford there, for the security of the wagon train. The batteries of Captains Wooding and Garber (each of four guns) got up first, and went into action, firing upon ack, while that of Captain Poague was moved down the road along our former front, so soon as we advanced, and opened on the opposing troops of the enemy as the movement continued. The five guns at Sudley's Ford, under Lieutenant David Barton of Cutshaw's battery, were also engaged in repelling an attack of the enemy at that point, which they did, supported by a body of cavalry under Major Patrick. In this battle we lost no guns. Captain Brockenbrough had two disabled, one having burst, while

They were taken late in November, 1863, at the battle of Chattanooga, and the photograph was made early in 1864. Behin

Detailed Minutiae of soldier life in the Army of Northern Virginia. By Carlton McCarthy, Private of Second Company Richmond Howitzers, Cutshaw's Battalion. [Many of our boys who wore the gray will be glad to see these vivid pictures of what they experienced, and many others will rejoice to have these details of soldier life. And these minutiae are by no means beneath the notice of the grave historians who would know and tell the whole truth concerning our grand old army.] Paper no. 1.--the outfit modified. With the men who composed the Army of Northern Virginia will die the memory of those little things which made the Confederate soldier peculiarly what he was. The historian who essays to write the grand movements will hardly stop to tell how the hungry private fried his bacon, baked his biscuit and smoked his pipe; how he was changed from time to time by the necessities of the service, until the gentleman, the student, the merchant, the mechanic and the farmer were me

Detailed Minutiae of soldier life in the Army of Northern Virginia. By Carlton McCarthy, Private of Second Company Richmond Howitzers, Cutshaw's Battalion. Paper no. 2.--romantic ideas Dissipated. To offer a man promotion in the early part of the war was equivalent to an insult. The higher the social position, the greater the wealth, the more patriotic it would be to serve in the humble position of a private; and many men of education and ability in the various professions, refusing promotion, served under the command of men greatly their inferiors, mentally, morally, and as soldiers. It soon became apparent that the country wanted knowledge and ability, as well as muscle and endurance, and those who had capacity to serve in higher positions were promoted. Still it remained true, that inferior men commanded their superiors in every respect, save one--Rank; and leaving out the one difference of rank, the officers and men were about on a par. It took years to teach the e

Detailed Minutiae of soldier life in the army of Northern Virginia. By Carlton McCarthy, Private Second Company Richmond Howitzers, Cutshaw's Battalion. Paper no. 3--on the March. It is a common mistake of those who write on subjects familiar to themselves, to omit that particularity of description and detailed mention which,to one not so conversant with the matters discussed, is necessary to a clear appreciation of the meaning of the writer. This mistake is all the more fatal when the writer lives and writes in one age and his readers live in another. And so a soldier, writing for the information of the citizen, should forget his familiarity with the every-day scenes of soldier life and strive to record even those things which seem to him too common to mention. Who does not know all about the marching of soldiers? Those who have never marched with them and some who have. The varied experience of thousands would not tell the whole story of the march. Every man must be

, and then coffee plenteously without a grain of sugar. For months nothing but flour for bread and then nothing but meal, till all hands longed for a biscuit, or fresh meat until it was nauseating; and then salt-pork without intermission. To be one day without anything to eat was common. Two days fasting, marching and fighting was not uncommon, and there were times when no rations were issued for three or four days. On one march, from Petersburg to Appomattox, no rations were issued to Cutshaw's battalion of artillery for one entire week, and the men subsisted on the corn intended for the battery horses, raw bacon captured from the enemy, and the water of springs, creeks and rivers. No doubt there were other commands suffering the same privations. A soldier in the Army of Northern Virginia was fortunate when he had his flour, meat, sugar and coffee all at the same time and in proper quantity. Having these, the most skillful axeman of the mess hewed down a fine hickory or oak

Literary notices. Detailed minutiae of soldier life in the army of Northern Virginia. 1861-65. By Carlton McCarthy, Private Second Company Richmond Howitzers, Cutshaw's Battalion, Second Corps, A. N. V. With illustrations by W. L. Sheppard. Richmond: Carlton McCarthy & Co. We had purposed writing a full review of this admirable book, but have concluded to reserve what we may have to say, and to give now the following extract from the full review of the Richmond Christian Advocate, which is in Brother Lafferty's best vein: Of making many books there is no end, and the late onpleasantness is a theme so fruitful that if everything worthy of record were put in print, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. The present volume is not a philosophical discussion of the right of secession, nor a eulogy of men in high places. It fills a niche that has not been made prominent in our war-literature; and it fills it marvelously well
