General Emory's corps got into action as the evening wasre enabled to re-form. It was, without doubt, Emory's corps that saved the day, and prevented the and rear.

J. Smirp-shooters, who fell back on their main body as General Emory advanced. No more of General Banks was seen bd. We think he had the highest respect of Franklin, Emory and A. J. Smith, which is a creditable proof of his el Shaw, of General Smith's command, reported to General Emory for duty at Pleasant Hill.

train, abusing the Northern people who composed it, and throwing their bedding and clothing on the miry soil, to be trodden on by the cavalry, has also been rewarded with a lucrative position in the same establishment. Who has not heard of Colonel Emory--a man notorious — the husband of a woman who once offered to a company of South Carolina ruffians, to marry any one who would bring her the scalp of a Yankee! Rich as she was, and poor and ruffianly as they were, not one of them accepted the offer. Emory was Secretary of State in General Walker's ragamuffin State of Southern California. In Kansas, after his appointment as mail contractor, he signalized his devotion to Democracy by ordering a quiet Free-State German to be shot down, like a dog, in the streets, for expressing his disapprobation of the murder of Phillips, that noble and heroic martyr whom, also, he had so brutally massacred. For these services, and for loaning his horses — for he kept a livery stable — to the Sou<

There remained with him Colonel Swords, quartermaster; Captain H. S. Turner, First Dragoons; Captains Emory and Warner, Topographical Engineers; Assistant Surgeon Griffin, and Lieutenant J. W. Davidson. Fremont had marched down from the north with a battalion of volunteers; Commodore Stockton had marched up from San Diego to Los Angeles, with Geneon the Pacific coast.

Emory had reached my position with a light battery and a body of cavalry, which were promptly placed at my disposal by tha order for detaching three regiments, one from Berry's, the leading brigade, and two from Birney's, the second to support Emory's horse to the left of the position. Approaching near the field, word was brought by an aid-de-camp that Hooker's carte than two or three miles from the church, there were two considerable skirmishes. In the first of these, to the left, Gen.

Once more in other scenes he meets the foe. O'ermatched, our columns stagger to their blow; Vain on their squares bold Emory's files are hurled; Backward the dashing cataract is whirled Splintered to spray. O banner of the skies! Flag of the rising constellations, dyes Of dawn not sunset! shalt thou trail in dust? Shall blind, dead darkness hide our blazing trust? On, braves! but no — they pause — they reel — they break! Now like some towering crag no storm can shake, Like some tall pine that soars when all the wood Bows to the winds — some rock amid the flood, Our hero stands! he forms each tottering squar
