ate, connected with the brilliant exploit of the Confederate army around Richmond. History has no record of such a succession of triumphs as has been vouchsafed to the arms of the South in these desperate and deadly encounters. Throughout all time they must stand without parallel in the manuals of warfare, and will give to the Southern character a position for cool intrepidity, daring valor, and persistent endurance, that would have been creditable to the Roman Legion or the Old Otfard of Napoleon. For six days have they wrested with the storm of battle with the most unflinching fortitude, and in every contest have wrenched from the hands of the unwilling Northmen the meed of victory. Monday's operations. On Monday, about 10 o'clock A. M., there was an artillery dual between Mott's celebrated Federal battery and the batteries attached to Gen. D. H. Hill's division. Both occupied commanding positions on opposite sides of a creek. In the course of on opposite sides of a cree

At 11 o'clock last night we received from the battle field the following additional particulars of the operations yesterday and day before. Fight at Frazer's farm. Our forces having pursued the enemy during Sunday and part of Monday, came up with the main body at Frazer's farm, about fifteen miles from the city. Generals Longstreet and A. P.

Huger by our left, when about three o'clock on Monday our scouts announced that the foe were in strong force in camp, and all things prepared to receive us. Pushing forward on the Darbytown (Charles City) road to the right, it seemed to be evidently a part of the plan that Huger's advance on the left should be made simultaneously. About 3 P. M. Longstreet advanced upon the enemy and drove in their dense body of skirmishers, supported as they were by a large force of artillery. Huger did not arrive i

It was thought that by the energy of Jackson and Hill, acting in unity with Longstreet and Magruder, at least the whole rear guard of the "grand army" would be captured by nightfall of yesterday. On Monday afternoon a severe fight came off near the interseHill, from Gen. Kearney, which seems to have been addressed to Gen. Franklin, requesting him to send two brigades instantly to his relief, to assist in repelling Magruder. Franklin's position had been on the stream, immediately opposite Gen. Hill, and the courier coming forward with the dispatch, and seeing the same guns in posit ports. This is the hardest engagement that has yet occurred, and must have great results. The loss on both sides must prove fearful. Longstreet Hill, McLaws, Magruder, and others, are holly engaged, and it is expected that by 8 P. M. the enemy will have been entirely routed.

Our casualties are not yet known, but it is asserted by competent authority that it will not amount to more than one-tenth that of the enemy. From all accounts, we are compelled to say that both infantry and artillery behaved as they always do — magnificently; the Federal artillery being assailed by our men with such fury that they were unable to endure the fire.

of Manassas, he, with a soldier's eye, saw the imperative necessity of checking the advancing foe until the Confederates had formed a line of battle in his rear. For an hour did his gallant little command resist the enemy's thousands, as regiment after regiment was brought forward to annihilate it. Major Wheat, calling loudly for supports, fell desperately wounded, and his diminished band fell back, leaving the disputed ground covered with the enemy's dead. This conduct elicited from Gen. Beauregard, in his official dispatch, this sentence: that "it was a proud boast to being to that hand who fought the first hour at the battle of Manassas." For his distinguished gallantry, he was promised the La Zouave Battalion, then stationed on the Peninsula. This promise had not been carried out, and the gallant Wheat died as he lived, a "Major."
