by moon-light. The Howitzers had struck their tents and were far down to the Peninsula. A few straggling soldiers, here and there, met the eye; some detained by sickness, others by business. The Major's (now Colonel's) headquarters were alone left to tell us of the departed. Two noble men whom I had known and loved from early boyhood, during my absence had been laid in a soldier's grave. The noble-hearted Stanard, who commanded the third Howitzer company, and my beloved friend, Reynold Kirby, had paseed away from earth, both in the prime and vigor of an early manhood. Everything about Yorktown has undergone a change. New soldiers have been moved rapidly into the places of those who are farther down the Peninsula, and scarcely a familiar face met us. Col. Colquitt now commands the post in place of Gen. Hill, who has been transferred to the defence of his own State. We did not see General Magruder, but suppose his headquarters are where they have been during the cam

Hill, who has been transferred to the defence of his own State. We did not see General Magruder, but suppose his headquarters are where they have been during the campaign, in the saddle. Col. Crump, the Commandant of the fort at Gloucester Point, we also saw. The Colonel has won the heart of every soldier under his command, and th We saw a large number of servants belonging, we learn, to the citizens of Gloucester, busily engaged in throwing up breastworks at the Point, and their happy faces and merry jests, and jolly laughter indicate plainly that they are heart and soul in the work. The accommodations at Gloucester Point for our soldiers are far superior to those this side of the river.
