panies — for I scarcely put any estimate on the absent sick and exclude entirely the deserters — and leaves a margin for 218 additional to fill to 100 men, or 368 to fill to the maximum standard. The remainder was my own work. I added to this corps to fill it out to a regiment in fact the following companies: Company G (from Russell County, Captain Smith), 107 rank and file. Company H (from Tazewell County, Captain Bruster), 105 rank and file. Company I (from Russell County, Captain Dickenson), 80 rank and file. And Lieutenant March, formerly of the corps, will have Company K, with 100 men from Carroll, Wythe, and Grayson, being now en route for camp, and probably up to the minimum standard. Therefore I may say to you in general terms that the Twenty-ninth Virginia can take on 450 to 500 more men to fill it to the maximum standard, and it is my purpose to do this, unless you control me otherwise. Now as to the Pound Gap battalion. I brought this corps to the old

ory, and then you may say what you please. Not all the men captured were in the fight, but the few who were — some three hundred and sixty in number — kept back nine full regiments for four hours and a half, until their guns were clogged and their ammunition exhausted. Our friends, the Blues, fought with great bravery, and could the public fully understand their course of action, they would receive some decided demonstration of approval. The same can be said of Capt. Coles's company, Capt. Dickenson's, the McCulloch Rangers, and other companies — but I am forestalling my letter of to-morrow. And now, Good night. Bohemian. Richmond Enquirer account. While doubt and anxiety pervades the public mind as to the disaster at Fort Donelson, the sad and melancholy affair at Roanoke Island seems temporarily forgotten.

d Twelfth retiring under cover of Sumner's old division of the Second corps, now commanded by Hancock. General Hooker kept his headquarters at Chancellorsville, until the shot and shells flew about him like a storm of enormous hail-stones. These projectiles, unlike hail-stones, however, had fearful explosive quality, and all carried a destruction in their path which comparisons fail to convey to the mind. There were ladies at the Chancellor House. They were taken away by Lieutenant-Colonel Colonel Dickenson of Hooker's staff, after the firing became very hot. One of the ladies fainted. It was a forlorn sight, to see that troupe passing through our lines at such a time. Soon after they left, the house, which was a large and elegant mansion, took fire and burned to the ground. Again our lines were reconstructed. The fierceness of the fight was over before noon. The Twelfth was put upon the left of the Eleventh corps, sharing its line all the way. These two corps now formed on

erson to communicate with General Walker and found him with his command parked about two miles beyond the Courthouse, on the road to Appomattox Station, Southside railroad. While I was with him an attack, wholly unexpected, was made by the enemy on his defenseless camp. To avoid immediate disaster under this attack demanded the exercise of all our energies. It was, however, at once effectually repelled by the aid, especially, of the two gallant artillery companies of Captains Walker and Dickenson, under command of the former, which, being at the time unequipped as artillerists, were armed with muskets. They met the enemy's sharpshooters in a brushwood near and enabled a number of General Walker's pieces to play with effect while the remainder of his train was withdrawn. After a sharp skirmish this attack seemed entirely remedied, and I started back, having received by courier a note requesting my presence with the Commanding-General. When I had reached a point a few hundred ya

the left connected with Franklin at Deep Run, and was under his orders. During the day Burns went across Deep Run to Franklin's support. When French's division was advanced, Sturgis was ordered to support it upon its left. He threw forward Dickenson's battery and Ferrero's brigade. The battery received a heavy fire from guns on and near Lee's Hill, and was soon disabled and withdrawn, Dickenson being killed. Ferrero advanced from the lower part of the city to the left of the ground overDickenson being killed. Ferrero advanced from the lower part of the city to the left of the ground over which French and Hancock had fought. He did not have the canal to cross, as it terminated near the railroad. He met a severe fire, however, and finding depressions of ground in which his troops could get cover, his brigade occupied them for the rest of the day and fired from 60 to 200 rounds per man at the Confederate lines and batteries. Sturgis's second brigade, under Nagle, about an hour later, was ordered to support Sturgis's on the left. After some delay in crossing ravines, this br

Springing upon the taffrail to inquire if she had actually surrendered, Biddle was fired upon by two British marines and wounded in the neck. His assassins were instantly slain by bullets fired from the Hornet. The latter became disentangled, and wore to give her antagonist a broadside, when twenty men on the stranger threw up their hands and asked for quarter. The conquered vessel had struck her colors after a battle of twenty-three minutes. She was the brig Penguin, eighteen guns, Captain Dickenson. She mounted nineteen carriage guns, besides guns in her top. Her complement of men was 132, and her size and weight of metal was the same as those of the Hornet. The latter lost one man killed and ten wounded. The loss of the Penguin was unknown. Among the slain were her commander and boatswain. After taking from her all that was valuable, Captain Biddle scuttled her (March 25), and she went to the bottom of the South Atlantic Ocean. Special honors were bestowed upon Captain Bidd

or their consideration; and this convention will not hold this province bound by such majority in Congress, until the representative body of the province in convention assent thereto. The resolutions of the Virginia delegates, embracing the three propositions of independence, foreign alliances and confederation, were debated June 8, 1776. A report of these debates is given by Mr. Jefferson in the Madison papers, Vol. I, p. 9, etseq. Messrs. Wilson, Robert R Livingston, E. Rutledge, Dickenson and others, although personally favorable to the measures proposed, argued for delay. The middle colonies, they argued, were not yet ripe for bidding adieu to Great Britain, but they were fast ripening; some of them had expressly forbidden their delegates to consent to such a declaration; that if such a declaration should now be agreed to, these delegates must retire, and possibly their colonies might secede from the Union. The other side was argued by J. Adams, Lee, Wythe and others,
