ide having advanced into east Tennessee from Kentucky, General Buckner had evacuated Knoxville on the 25th of August, and joined Bragg with his division, commanded by General Preston, who with the Fifth Kentucky and some other troops came from southwest Virginia to reinforce General Bragg. Buckner was then placed in command of a corps consisting of the divisions of Gen. A. P. Stewart and General Preston, the latter embracing the troops of General Buckner's department, composed of Gracie's, Trigg's and Kelly's brigades. General Breckinridge's division, which had previously arrived from Mississippi, was placed in the corps of Gen. D. H. Hill. When General Bragg moved out of Chattanooga to attack Rosecrans' flanking corps, his Federal opponent thought he was in full retreat toward Rome. Crittenden's corps was therefore started after him and proceeded as far as Ringgold, when it was discovered that the report was false. Bragg's whole army was between the wings of Rosecrans', which

le of Murfreesboro, taking part in the great charge of Breckinridge's division. On April 28, 1863, he was ordered to relieve General Humphrey Marshall in southwest Virginia and east Tennessee, and later with headquarters at Abingdon, Va., he commanded the first brigade of General Buckner's army of east Tennessee. At the battle of Chickamauga he commanded the division brought from his mountain district to the reinforcement of Bragg. This division included the brigades of Gracie, Kelly and Trigg. Commander and men alike made a glorious record at Chickamauga. In January, 1864, General Preston was assigned to the Trans-Mississippi department, under Gen. Kirby Smith, and on January 1, 1865, he was promoted to major-general. Throughout the war General Preston always performed his part with the chivalrous courage for which the men of Kentucky were noted, on whichever side they fought. After the close of the long and sanguinary struggle he returned to his home in Lexington, Ky., resum

Meantime Manigault sent back for, and received the support of Trigg's brigade of Buckner's corps, and with it compelled the rapid retreat of the force in his front.lly carrying the heights south of Snodgrass' house. About the time the ridge was carried, Colonel Trigg, of Preston's division, reported to me with a part of his brigade. I sent Captain Terry, of the Seventeenth Tennessee regiment, who was wounded and mounted on horseback, to place Trigg's command on our right, and it relieved Gregg's brigade, which was out of ammunition. I now proceeded d to follow up the retreating foe. After I ordered McNair's and Johnson's brigades to form on Trigg's, this brigade suddenly disappeared—called away, no doubt, to co-operate with Kelly's brigade iin succession to the right were aligned Johnson's, McNair's, and Gregg's brigades.

ded, save one. Ector's, Wilson's and Walthall's Brigades were sent to the support of General Polk, and encountered an overwhelming force, before which they had to give way with heavy loss. It will, therefore, be seen that after an hour's gallant fighting nothing had been accomplished on the right but the fearful loss of some of the best soldiers of any age. Clayton and Bates had been so cut up they also had to retire and reform. Preston, in the meantime, with his division, Stewart's, Trigg's, Gracie's and Kelly's Brigades and Johnson's Division on his left, with Breckinridge and Forrest on the right, moved forward like a mighty current, and striking the Federals, strongly intrenched around the Brotherton's house, swept them away, and, pressing the advantage, drove the enemy precipitately and headlong to flight. This was the first ray of light to the gallant Confederates. Pushing ahead, keeping his force well in hand, Johnson passed through a wood and entered an open field, o

of Scripture and prayer, were affectionately commended to the care and keeping of the God of Battles--Rev. Messrs. Edwards, Miller and Stuart participating in these services. They were then marched to our depot, where there was a special train in waiting for them, where they were met by between 200 and 300 persons of all ages, colors, and descriptions. At 9½ o'clock the whistle gave the signal for starting, and the three companies referred to, under the command of their gallant leaders, Cols. Trigg and Preston, went off amid the shouts of the assembly. There were many tearful eyes and sad hearts in our village on that day — husbands parting with wives, parents with children, and brothers with sisters — yet they were given up cheerfully, believing that our cause is a just and righteous one; and may the God of justice throw a pillow of cloud by day and a pillow of fire by night around them.

he shattered finger, he was told that it was "of no consequence," and away went the General with a battery following him to take position in some advantageous spot. If any one was ever entitled to a soubriquet, the General certainly deserves that of cool. An incident connected with this battle is worth mentioning. A young gentleman from Kentucky, 20 years of age, named Thomas G. Duncan, was very desirous of being in the fight, so by request of the writer, he was placed alongside of Capt. Trigg, of the Montgomery Fencibles. Tom received a good Minnie musket and went for his ammunition, but expressed doubts after receiving it whether he and enough. Upon inquiry, after ascertaining that he had only 60 rounds, the writer told him to quit shooting after he had exhausted that amount. After laying exposed to the enemy's fire for a long time, this regiment, (Col. James L. Preston's) was ordered to charge the Fire Zonaves, and well they did it. Tom in the front rank leading, was the

Affairs in East Tennessee. A correspondent of the Dispatch writes from Jonesboro', Tenn., July 27th: I send you a copy of the ticket the Unionists here will vote on Thursday next. Trigg, (who is a Virginian,) was to be run for Governor; but after they had nominated him, they learned that he was ineligible, having only been a resident of the State five years, when our Constitution says seven. They then took up Polk, who is a Secessionist of the strongest kind;--very consistent these Union men are. They hate secession very badly, but vote for secession men for Governor! You will see that Mr. Nelson is running for the United States Congress. It is a fact well known here that no law of the State authorizes such an election; all laws on that subject having been repealed by our last Legislature. And yet such a man as Mr. Nelson will hazard his law-abiding character by deliberately violating the law and inciting others to do the same. But he will come right after a whil

At a special election held in Little Rock, Ark., recently, John C. Peay was elected representative in the Arkansas Legislature, in the place of Capt. Trigg, resigned. Richard Wallack was re-elected, on Thursday last, Mayor of Washington city, by the City Council of that place. Mr. Emanuel Slifer, who was wounded lately in the skirmish at Belivar, died from the wound on Friday week.
