and pierced to the very heart of the enemy, found itself almost surrounded, when it had to make a flank movement in order to shelter itself in the timber. To show how severe and deadly was this conflict, the regiment lost seven standard-bearers killed; the flag-staff was shot in two, and the flag itself was pierced with twenty-seven bullets, and had three bomb scorches on it. It is not claimed here that the 5th Texas was the first to breach the enemy's lines, as is claimed for the 4th at Gaines' Mill, as the movement on our part of the field seemed to have been general, and the enemy gave way all along the line, though if any other regiment accomplished any greater results than the 5th at the Second Manassas, the annals of the war fail to show it. The fight at Sharpsburg. At Antietam, or Sharpsburg, seventeen days later, the Texas Brigade materiallly aided Lee to repulse and hold the enemy at bay, thus winning another victory. At this time, by the long marches of the campai

ce stretches thus a distance of from five to six miles in length, while its width gradually increases from one and a half to three miles on a line with the Alexander bridge. At the point where this breadth is greatest stands the building which gives its name to the important cross-roads of Cold Harbor. Among the roads crossing at this point, one connects at Bethesda with that from Mechanicsville to the Pamunky; another leads to Mechanicsville by way of the houses of New Cold Harbor and Doctor Gaines'; a third, passing by McGee's farm, at a distance of three or four hundred feet from Cold Harbor, descends toward the Chickahominy, to continue its course through the woods as far as Dispatch station. The causeway constructed by Colonel Alexander, leading to the bridge which bears his name, struck this road a little above the point where it penetrated into the marshy forest bordering the large clearing; and finally, a cross-road branched off from this same point, connecting it directly

resence caused no alarm to the Federals, who for many months past had been in the habit of coming in contact with them. Accustomed to marching, not burdened with heavy loads—for they carried only a blanket, some cartridges, and a little bread—sleeping in the open air, relying upon the resources of the country for food, Ewell's soldiers advanced rapidly toward the Valley of Virginia. His three divisions and twenty batteries, which had left Culpeper on the 10th, passed through Sperryville, Gaines' Cross-roads, and Flint Hill, crossing the Blue Ridge at Chester Gap, and, pushing beyond Front Royal, reached the banks of the Shenandoah at Cedarville on the evening of the 12th. Ewell immediately made all necessary arrangements for reaping the greatest possible benefit from the ignorance which his adversaries were still laboring under in regard to his movements. Although he had already marched fifty miles since the day previous, Rodes led his division as far as Stone Ridge, five miles

. Hill of the North Carolina Military Institute, in his eloquent "Essay on Military Education, delivered at Wilmington, North Carolina, before the State Educational Convention," thus illustrates the military spirit and genius of the Southern people: "The armies of the Revolution were commanded by Washington, a Southern General. The officers, who distinguished themselves in an especial manner in the war of 1812, were Southern born and Southern-bred, Jackson, Coffee, Harrison, Scott and Gaines. The commanding Generals in the Mexican war, Scott, and Taylor, were both of Virginia. The Chief of Ordnance under Gen. Scott, and the next most important; officer was Huger, of South Carolina. The Chief of Engineers was Lee. of Virginia. the only man the Army acknowledges to be fit to be the successor to Gen. Scott.

Prince Alfred arrived at Quebec on Thursday week. The papers report that there was as much enthusiasm displayed as on the occasion of the entry of Prince Albert. The resemblance to the latter in feature is remarkable. He is much shorter in stature, however, than his brother. A majority of East Tennessee Rebellion delegates have appointed a committee to memorialize the Legislature to permit East Tennessee to secede peaceably from the Southern Confederacy. This is founded upon rumor. It is pretended that three fugitive slaves, at Cairo, have been surrendered to their owners in Kentucky. Picayune Butler never pursues that course, but steals all he can lay his hands upon. Hon. Nathaniel Greene Pendeleton, who acted as aid to Gen. Gaines in 1813, and was a Whig member of Congress in 1941-3, died in Cincinnati on the 18th Inst.
