I believe the smell did me as much good as the dram did for him. We came to the railroad, about sixteen miles or so from Petersburg, and halted along the track. The 7th, under Colonel Rion, was in front and nearest to Petersburg. Towards evening, Major Ed. Willis, of the Quartermaster's department, came along from Richmond with an engine, tender, and two cars. He called for two companies of volunteers from the brigade to go to Petersburg. Colonel Rion stepped out and said: The whole battalion will go. He directed me to put the eight companies, comprising some 500 men, on the train. It was close packing, standing and sitting, inside and outside, on engine, tender and cars. I was on top taking in the scenery and the pine smoke from the engine

you drove the enemy from the summit of Alleghany back to his fastnesses in Cheat Mountain. and Virginians, you have met the same enemy you met at Green brier river on the 3d of October, and with an equally glorious result. Whilst we have abundant cause to thank God for this victory, let us not forget the gallant dead who fell by our sides, and whom we buried on Alleghany. Remember their gallantry, and emulate their example. [Signed]Edward Johnson, [Official.] Col. Commanding. Edward Willis, Lt. O. S. A. and Actg. Asst. Adjt. Genl. The following is an extract from a letter received by Mr. Branson, of the Senate, on yesterday, dated "Top of Alleghany," Dec. 16th, 1861: "We have had a most desperate battle.--The enemy attacked us early in the morning of the 13th. The attack was made in two columns — on the right there were 3,000; on the left 2,200. The fight commenced at ten minutes to seven o'clock A. M., and lasted to fifteen minutes to two o'clock P. M.
