r, and --raising his right foot, as the old general did his, by way of vivid recital and illustration-there's the boots. A word or two as to the volume, intensity, and effect of the fire at Cold Harbor. So far as the Confederate fire is concerned, nothing can be needed to supplement the fearful record of the slaughter upon the Federal side. But now as to the Federal fire, and first, of artillery. I think the barn just back of the positions of Manly's guns and two of the Howitzers' was Ellyson's. It was cut down, cut up and scattered, and the very ground so torn and ploughed by artillery fire that it was really difficult, after the battle was over, to say just where the barn had stood. Just back of this barn trees were so constantly felled across the road opened for the purpose of bringing in ammunition that it was necessary to have axe-men constantly at hand, and they were chopping almost continuously. Once or twice the falling trees and limbs actually drove the division pione

The Hampton soldiers. --We invite special attention to the eloquent appeal for the Hampton soldiers. It is from the pen of one of the bravest and patriotic of the former citizens of that suffering town. If any men in Virginia have a claim upon the sympathy and aid of their countrymen, it is surely the soldiers of Hampton. We trust that a generous response will be made to this touching appeal in our columns. Any contributions can be forwarded to Major J. B. Cary, Yorktown, care of Mr. Ellyson, Grove Wharf, or via York River Railroad, care of Captain J. B. White, Assistant Quartermaster at Yorktown. We would suggest that the freight on contributions be paid, as there is so much confusion in consequence of large amounts of supplies, that articles are frequently lost.
