rs, whose early death will break more than one sorrowing heart — what of these? Alas! too many such there are — as brave, as heroic, as truly martyrs as ever died in the cause of Humanity — to mention here by name. Would you know them? Read the list of the killed! We will not, in our sorrow for the heroes dead, forget the surviving brave. These, thanks to a merciful Providence, are even more numerous than the dead. Among the many who did well, General Steedman, and Major Smith and Captain Moe, of his staff, merit special praise. And General Whittaker and Colonel Mitchell, and their staff-officers, and the regimental commanders, are most highly honored by the soldiers, for they were brave and unflinching leaders. Let me refer to two men in humbler positions. One is Lieutenant C. W. Earle, commanding the color company of the Ninety-sixth. He stood by the colors throughout the fight, and, though all but two of the color-guard were killed and wounded, and the colors were cut<

s are known by his name. In crossing the first of these fords to the right side of the river (as we were advancing) one of their wagons mired, and those in the rear had to halt until it could be relieved. The rebels meantime drew up in line on the opposite side of an oat field, and were concealed by a rail fence and the trees and bushes fringing that bank of the river. The bluff is from 50 to 80 feet higher than the land on the opposite side, down which the Ohio 14th was advancing, with Capt. Moe's company thrown out as skirmishers. As the skirmishers pressed on towards the ford, the teamsters cried out, Don't shoot! don't shoot! We are going to surrender. The Captain then called to the Colonel, Come on, Col. Steedman, they are going to surrender, and the regiment was ordered to advance at a double quick. As he came opposite the bank where the rebels were drawn up, Gen. Garnett cried, Three cheers for Jeff. Davis, and that instant the whole line was a blaze of light, as they p

Gary, company H, deserves special mention for staying in command of his company after the death of the First Lieutenant, all through the battle, and until we reached Bolivar, though suffering from a painful but not a severe wound. Lieuts. McMurtrie and Burbick, of company D, Lakin and Abnerthey, of company F, and Moe, of company C, did their duty bravely and well. Company A was not engaged, having been detailed as guard to the wagon-train. Second Lieut. G. A. Cushman, Acting Adjutant, and Sergeant-Major R. W. Montague, both displayed great coolness and courage, and rendered me very valuable assistance on the field. The conduct of the rank and file in crossing the bridge, under the terrible fire of the enemy's batteries, and in rallying to the flag, as promptly as they did, deserves the highest praise

ction in the Mexican war, and will render a good account of his company should be come into hostile collision with the best Northern troops that may profane our soil. A most enthusiastic reception will be given to the First Regiment of North Carolina, consisting of one thousand volunteers, which is expected to arrive to-morrow. It is represented to be composed of the finest military companies in the State, all in perfect drill, and thoroughly armed and equipped. The blockade of James river intercepts the Northern mails, and cuts off the provisions which are usually obtained by our merchants from the Baltimore market. We may expect to experience much inconvenience, but it will be cheerfully born. Considerable relief has been afforded by the issue of one thousand dollars, in small notes, by the Farmers' Bank of Virginia, within the past day or two. But fractions of dollars are still needed, which we shall soon have under the authority of the corporation. Moe CŒur.
