Commander-in-chief's report. The commanding General visited Suffolk during the investment, and in his annual report, says, viz.: The rebel General Hill marched towards the Nansemond to reinforce Longstreet, who was investing Suffolk.

y C, McMahan, of company D, and Armstrong, of company F, having resigned at different times and for various causes, First Lieutenants Whitfield, Murchie, Black and Peck had become the Captains of their respective companies. The regiment moved on diligently, although much impeded by its train of wagons, which had to be crossed os, and protected by a deep gully. In the words of General Taylor: That gallant charge was premature, and cost valuable lives, but was of use in moral effect. Captain Peck, of Company F, was killed; Major Menard and Captain Hare, of Company K, were wounded, both severely. Captain Fulton, of Company G, was also wounded, his horse, and Captain Owens, of company E, Major. Lieutenant Hearn, of company E, became Captain vice Owens, promoted, and Lieutenant Woodyard, of company F, Captain vice Peck, killed. Mention may also be made here of the promotion, some months afterwards, of Lieutentant Trezevant, of company 1, to be Captain vice Whitehead, dropped fro

Johnny had a way of multiplying himself when he was in a good fighting humor and then he appeared very numerous; and when he had anything like a chance he was a very overwhelming sort of fellow. All day Sunday and Sunday night General J. J. Peck, of the Federal army, had strong working parties strengthening the intrenched camp and making it more secure for the eleven thousand five hundred men who had sought refuge there. The success of the first day was not followed up on the second day. The wounding of our illustrious commander and other causes prevented an united attack upon Sumner, which must have crushed him. There was no fighting the second day to speak of except by Pickett, who started on his own accord and stopped whe
