During three years following the war General Wheeler was in the commission business at New Orleans, leaving there in 1869 for his plantation in Lawrence county, Alabama, where he entered the practice of law, declining, in 1866, the professorship of philosophy in the Louisiana State seminary.

Notable among his speeches in that body have been his defense of Fitz John Porter, his reply to Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, and his arguments upon the force bill and the

From General Floyd's command — brilliant exploits. The Advocates gives us the following report of late exploits of the State Line, under command of General Floyd: Week before last Gen Floyd, with a portion of his command lef; Oceans, the county sent of Wyoming county, for Warfield, Lawrence county, Ky, while the remelader of his forces, under Colonels Clarkson and Hounshell, started a few days after for Logan county. Gen Floyd succeeded in capturing Warfield, after a short, skirmish with a portion of the Hone Guard distail--ned there. Several of the enemy were skilled besides some fifty or sixty prisoners taken. The General hearing of a force advancing upon Logan Court-House immediately set out to leave the force at that place, but Colonels Clarkson and Hounsbell also hearing the same report, put out to meet them.

From this point to Rome we should judge to be not less than 150 miles, and from Courtland to Gaylesville, where Forrest overtook and fought them, not less than 115 or 120 miles. He then traveled this distance in but little over two days. He overtook, fought, whipped, and captured them in the early part of the third day. Of the last day's fight a correspondent of the Atlanta (Ga.) Confederacy says: At Black Creek, a very deep, rapid stream, beyond Gadsden, they burned the bridge and planted their artillery to prevent Forrest from getting any further. Upon reaching it, he found he could not ford it. This was the first serious obstacle in the way of the intrepid
