sh-Yankee Sheridan and that drunken butcher and tanner, Grant, have little comprehension of sentiments of humanity or Christianity. Breckinridge and Gordon whipped out the Yankees badly to-day in some severe skirmishing. Rodes, for a wonder, was not engaged. My good mother says Rodes' division is in every battle her papers mention, and that such expressions as Rodes bore the brunt of the battle, Rodes begun the action, Rodes' command suffered severely in killed and wounded, Rodes' division led the advance, or Rodes conducted the retreat, serving as rear guard, are constantly in the telegraphic column, and to be found in Letters from war Correspondents. It is true that our gallant and beloved Major-General is usually foremost at the post of honor and danger. He is ably seconded by his efficient adjutants, Major H. A. Whiting and Major Green Peyton. Reinforcements from Longstreet's corps have reached us, and vigorous work may be expected. Lieutenant-General Anderson is in command.

om Richmond to Fredericksburgh, has served to illustrate, I am also indebted to them for valuable counsel, both as regards the general operations of the army, and the execution of the particular measures adopted. To division and brigade commanders I must also express my thanks for the prompt, intelligent, and determined manner in which they executed their several parts. To the officers of the general staff, Brigadier-General R. H. Chilton, Adjutant and Inspector-General, assisted by Major Peyton; Lieutenant-Colonel Corley, Chief Quartermaster; Lieutenant-Colonel Cole, Chief Commissary; Surgeon Guild, Medical Director, and Lieutenant-Colonel B. G. Bald-in, Chief of Ordnance, were committed the care of their respective departments, and the charge of supplying the demands upon each. They were always in the field, anticipating, as far as possible, the wants of the troops. My personal staff were unremittingly engaged in conveying and bringing information from all parts of the fiel

My seven division batteries, under Captains Carter, Hardaway, Bondurant, Rhett, Clark, Peyton, and Nelson, were all engaged at one time or another, at Mechanicsville, and all, in like mannercan admire. My regular and volunteer staff officers, Captain Whiting, Lieutenants Webster and Peyton, Messrs. Wood and Thomas Bouldin, and Mr. V. H.

I was most ably and bravely served during the whole day by Captains Whiting and Peyton, and. Lieutenant John Berney, who composed my staff. On the fifteenth, after resting on the heights south of Sharpsburg long enough to get a scanty meal and to gather stragglers, we moved back through that place to the advanced position in theotal, six hundred and twenty-five. The missing are either prisoners or killed; most of them were captured on the mountain on the fourteenth. Captain Whiting and Lieutenant John Berney, C. S. A., of my staff, were both wounded. They, with Captain Green Peyton, A. A. General, discharged their respective duties with ability and gallantry. The subjoined tabular statements will exhibit the loss in the respective regiments of the brigade in both engagements. The enemy's loss in both engagements

tory was then the more creditable to us. We learned afterwards that the Sixth and Nineteenth Army Corps, with their full ranks and splendid equipments, were our opponents. As we moved forward we passed scores, yes, hundreds, of dead and wounded Yankees, and a large number of prisoners were captured. We passed entirely through the woods, and into the open space beyond, when we halted for a moment, and then formed our line in the edge of the woods. While the lines were being established, Major Peyton, A. A. G. to General Rodes, rode up, and an indescribable, unexplainable something, I know not what, carried me to his side as he sat upon his horse. I had heard nothing, not even a rumor nor whispered suggestion, yet something impelled me to ask, in a low tone, Major, has General Rodes been killed? In an equally low, subdued tone, that gallant officer answered, Yes, but keep it to yourself; do not let your men know it. Then who succeeds to the command of the division? I asked. Gener

All the other officers did their duty nobly, but those I have mentioned came under my own notice, or were so favorably spoken of by competent persons as to make it my duty to mention them in this manner. My staff officers, Captain Green Peyton and Captain M. L. Randolph, have been mentioned for their meritorious conduct.
