ys that the number of vessels arriving at two ports only from the 1st of November to the 6th of December was forty-three, and but a very small proportion of those outward bound were captured. Out of 11,796 bales of cotton shipped since the 1st of July last, but 1272 were lost — not quite 11 per cent. The special report of the Secretary of the Treasury in relation to the matter shows that there have been imported into the Confederacy at the ports of Wilmington and Charleston since October 26th, 1864, 8,632,000 pounds of meat, 1,501,000 pounds of lead, 1,933,000 pounds of saltpeter, 546,000 pairs of shoes, 316,000 pairs of blankets, 520,000 pounds of coffee, 69,000 rifles, 97 packages of revolvers, 2639 packages of medicine, 43 cannon, with a large quantity of other articles of which we need make no mention. Besides these, many valuable stores and supplies are brought, by way of the Northern lines, into Florida; by the port of Galveston and through Mexico, across the Rio Grande.

ommissary Department, and the remainder occupied in various ways. Rumours of fighting below Richmond; we hear the cannon, but it is said to be merely a skirmish. October 20th, 1864. Nothing new in the field. Armies quiet; perhaps preparing for dreadful work. I got a note last night from J. P., written with a pencil. He and other prisoners are working ten hours a day on Dutch Gap Canal. They work under the fire of our own batteries. Poor fellow! my heart yearns over him. October 26th, 1864. The armies around Richmond continue quiet. General Early's second misfortune was very depressing to us all. We are now recovering from it. I trust that God will turn it all to our good. A striking and admirable address from him to his soldiers was in the morning papers. Oh, I trust they will retrieve their fortunes hereafter. October 28th, 1864. Very much interested lately in the hospitals; not only in our own, the Robertson hospital, but in Mr. --‘s, the officers' hospita

e in battle. So the patriot leader determined to execute a plan, which he had already submitted to the consideration of General Grant, namely, to destroy Atlanta and its railway communications with Chattanooga, and, moving through the heart of Georgia, capture one or more of the important seaport towns-Savannah or Charleston, or both. So he remained at Gaylesville a week, watching the movements of Hood, when, satisfied that he had marched westward over the Sand Mountains, he proceeded Oct. 26, 1864. in preparations to put into execution his important plan, with a full understanding with Generals Grant and Thomas, and the approval of the General-in-chief. Stanley was ordered to proceed to Chattanooga with the Fourth Corps, and report to General Thomas, and Schofield was directed to do the same. To General Thomas, Sherman now delegated full power over all the troops under his command, excepting four corps, with which he intended to march from Atlanta to the sea. He also gave him

e A. M. of the fourteenth bivouacked. Left about eight A. M., marched in rear of the first one hundred (100) wagons, and reached the camp of the regiment at Atlanta about noon. No casualties occurred during the expedition. On the twenty-sixth of October, 1864, the regiment accompanied another expedition, under command of Brigadier-General J. W. Geary. Marched out upon the Decatur road at six A. M.; reaching Decatur, the regiment was separated from the brigade, and formed the advance-guard h the above-named articles; sent one hundred men out under command of Captain Maze, who flanked and routed a squad of the enemy's cavalry; returned to same camp. October 19th, returned to Atlanta; resumed picket and fatigue until the twenty-sixth October, 1864; went on a foraging expedition with the brigade, commanded by Major Brant, Eighty-fifth Indiana; the expedition commanded by General Geary, marching twenty-four miles.

al commanders, and the chiefs of cavalry and artillery, and I have to thank them, and also my staff, for the cordial and intelligent support they gave me during the day. I have also to thank the Major-General commanding the department, and the Major-General commanding the Nineteenth army corps, who came on the field early in the day, to aid by their advice, and give by the benefit of their presence, encouragement to the troops. I have no means of ascertaining with any degree of certainty the number of the forces of the enemy engaged, nor their loss. Prisoners that were captured report that there were four (4) general officers present--Generals Bee, Baly, Majors, and De Bret, and sixteen (16) pieces of artillery.

Diary of Captain Robert E. Park, Twelfth Alabama regiment. [continued from August Number.] October 26th, 1864 Much excitement in the hospital caused by an order to Dr. Chapel, Chief Surgeon, to select the worst wounded prisoners for exchange. Of thirty officers in my ward, only one was chosen to be sent South. The selection was left to that ignorant, incompetent and unfeeling fanatic, Dr. Knowles. Any other surgeon would have sent Major Hanvey and myself South, as neither of us will be fit for active service in months, if ever again. Knowles will send only those who have lost an arm or leg, fearing the others, if allowed to breathe once more their free Southern air, may recover too speedily, and soon return with fresh ardor to their places in the Confederate army. Instead of being treated with the generous kindness due brave men, wounded and captured in honorable battle, we are talked to and treated as if we were criminals, and our minds, instead of having their asp
