of the troops remaining in position, in line of march, on the road, and others returning to camp to prepare the morning meal. Perhaps it was 6 o'clock when the long-roll sounded and the camp was called to arms. A few minutes before this, Sergeant Hite, of my body-guard, dashed up to my headquarters, breathless with excitement, hatless, and his horse covered with foam, exclaiming hurriedly, General, the enemy is coming! Where? said I, and he pointed in the direction of a spring, up a ravis to our right and rear, and gave him the 5th Arkansas Infantry (Colonel T. P. Dockery) as a support. I then advanced the 4th Arkansas Infantry (Colonel J. D. Walker) north of this battery to watch the approach down the ravine, through which Sergeant Hite had reported that the enemy was coming. Thus, the Arkansas troops under my command had all been Major-General Ben. McCulloch, C. S. A., killed in the battle of Pea Ridge, March 7, 1862. from a photograph. placed in favorable position, rea

76 as a rebel, is said to have been a Scotchman. The founder of the distinguished Nelson family was called, it may be significantly, Scotch Tom, but he was born in Cumberland county, England. Dr. James Blair was a Scotchman, but he came to Virginia through the alembic of England as the famous race of the Valley of Virginia, whose brains and brawn have so impressed them upon the history of our country, did through that of Ireland, following, in 1734, from Pennsylvania, the Dutch leader, Joist Hite, who came in 1732. After the union, Scotch Parsons, so potent as educators, and merchants, who quite monopolized the trade of the country, pervaded Eastern Virginia. Some writers seem to delight in the assertion that Virginians are largely the descendants of felons-vile criminals. The chief authority for the charge—Hotten's List of Emigrants to America, 1600– 1700—comprehends, according to the title page, Persons of Quality, Emigrants, Religious Exiles, Political Exiles, Serving-Men sold<

es, and many other obstacles. We pressed on as rapidly as possible and came out at Pitman's, just at the foot of the high peak of Massanutten Mountain, upon which we had a signal station. We were then on Sheridan's left flank, but the river flowed between us and had to be forded, so we continued our march upon a well-beaten road leading from Front Royal to Strasburg. Every tree was familiar to me, because as a boy I walked and rode almost daily over this section. We continued our march to Hite's lane, and here again I was on still more familiar ground—only a mile from this lane my mother and family lived. Just upon the hill in front stood my uncle John Buck's residence (where my wife was reared), and where so many of my earlier, happy days were spent. Now, I passed these dear old places without even stopping. Where I then used to hunt squirrels and birds, I now hunted men, and the game was plentiful. Here we halted for the men to close up, and as soon as this was accomplished w

Affrays in Louisville. Louisville, August 6 --Two of General Roussean's redoubtable Hessian privates straggling among some of his former companions on the levee on yesterday, got into one of their very common scrapes. One of these Hessians drew a pistol on Mr. Small, of the firm of Hite & Small. A bystander made the Hessian swallow a tooth or two. The only regretted serious injury which has recently happened here occurred to Edward Crutchfield, a well-known and estimable citizen of this county. When the late contest in this State was the most animated, Mr. Crutchfield hurrahs, with loud voice, for "Jeff Davis." He was insulted and threatened, but he hurrahed again, when pistols were drawn. But his friends prevented any injury to him at that time. Yesterday Mr. Crutchfield came to the city again, and was alone in the reception room of the Gal House, when a party of five, led by Tom Salvage, who is well-known in political circles, assailed him. Crutchfield fired once,
