ce of Virginia. We were sent to Harper's Ferry, and stationed upon the Maryland Heights, which was then considered the post of honor, exposed to all kind of inclement weather, performing the heaviest guard duty in the army, guarding every pass, night and day, without a murmur. We fell back with Johnston to Winchester, and was with him in his marches to and from Darksville. Here Col. Duncan resigned the command of the battalion, and we were placed temporarily under the command of Captain Claiborne, an old officer of the U. S. A. In the memorable march from Winchester to Piedmont, our boys never tired or broke down, but was the sixth regiment that reached that place. Well do I recollect the words of the lamented Bartow, to whose brigade we belonged; as he passed along our lines, he remarked "These Kentuckians could go to Manassas without stopping, they march so elegantly." Owing to the railroad accident, we did not participate in the battle of the 21st, which was a great disappo

He found us as scattered and disorganized as the "children of the Mist;" and, by his unremitting exertions, he has perfected us both in drill and discipline. Lieutenant Colonel Taylor was promoted to Colonel, and William Preston Johnston, son of General Albert S. Johnston, who was our Major, was made Lieutenant Colonel.

Every body loves him for the kindness and purity of his nature, and for his open-handed generosity that is ever ready to give aid and comfort to all who need assistance. He has done much for the cause of Southern Rights in Kentucky. Col. Tom Taylor is justly very proud of his regiment, and takes great pains in drilling them, and in the health of the men. We have lost very few by sickness, while the exposure

The first Kentucky regiment. Hardship undergone by them during the campaign — a Change of officers — going into winter quarters. [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Camp near Centerville, Va., December 16, 1861. I read an interesting letter, a few days since, in your valuable paper, from a member of the 1st Virginia regiment. Having a leisure hour I have concluded to write you an "epistolary production," in reference to the 1st Kentucky regiment, to which your correspondent belongs. This regiment has suffered many hardships in the last eight months. Six of the ten companies under the command of Col. Duncan were among the first Confederate troops (if not the first) that rushed to the assistance of Virginia. We were sent to Harper's Ferry, and stationed upon the Maryland Heights, which was then considered the post of honor, exposed to all kind of inclement weather, performing the heaviest guard duty in the army, guarding every pass, night and day, without
