e morning of the eleventh instant, aroused my camp, and gave notice that the enemy was in motion. Immediately the batteries of the First, Third, and Fourth companies (consisting of two three-inch rifles and one ten-pounder Parrot gun, under Captain Squiers, Lieutenants Galbraith and Brown, first company; two twelve-pounder light Napoleon guns, under Captain Miller and Lieutenant McElroy, third company; and two twelve-pounder howitzers and two twelve-pounder light Napoleon guns, under Captain E division, in reserve, and was not engaged. It is my duty, as it is my pleasure, to say, in behalf of my officers, cannoneers, and drivers, that upon no field during this war have men behaved more gallantly. To Captains Eshleman, Miller, and Squiers, and the brave officers and men under them, is the service indebted for the gallant defence of Marye's Hill against the stubborn and overwhelming assaults of an army of over fifty thousand men.

h Lee. Hampton was left at Richmond, and Fitzhugh Lee's brigade, consisting of the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Ninth Virginia cavalry, accompanied the army on the Manassas campaign. The total of Stuart's force July 20th was 4,035, of which Colonel Taylor estimates that Fitzhugh Lee had 2,500. This estimate is no doubt nearly correct. The artillery taken consisted of twenty batteries (and possibly a few more). There were the four companies constituting the Washington artillery, viz: Squiers', Richardson's, Miller's and Eshleman's; the five under Colonel S. D. Lee, viz: Eubank's, Parker's, Rhett's, Jordan's and Taylor's; three attached to Hood's division, viz: Reilly's, Bachman's and Garden's, and the following: Dixie artillery, Striblings', Maurin's, Leake's, Rodger's, Brown's, Grimes' and Anderson's batteries. This list, I think, is incomplete, and I hope someone who has the knowledge will make it correct. Colonel Taylor puts the strength of this artillery at 2,500, which s

lsed with great slaughter that and two other charges made in rapid succession, with small loss to our side. In the meantime Colonel Walton, of New Orleans, had placed one section of the first company of Washington Artillery (two guns) under Captain Squiers, in the same redoubts occupied by them on the ever memorable 13th of December, 1862. One gun of the third company, Captain Miller, was placed in the position near the plank road, and two guns belonging to the fourth company, under Lieutenantrists after they surrendered. The first company lost two guns. Sergeant W. West, a gallant soldier, killed while placing his gun in position; Private Florence and others killed after surrendering. Captain Earnest and nine others wounded. Captain Squiers, Captain Edward Owen, and Lieutenant Galbreath, and about twenty-five others, were captured. Parker's Battery lost its gun and half the men. The first intimation I had of the disaster at the stone-wall was from a sharpshooter's minnie-ba

Daring Adventure. We learn that Gen. Stuart has performed another of his brilliant scouts in rear of the enemy's lines and succeeded in successfully shelling the Yankee transports at "North Bend, " on James river below Charles City C. H. The party consisted of the 1st company of the Washington Artillery, Capt Squiers, commanding, a Parrott section of the Loudoun Battery under Capt. Rogers, and one piece of Stuart's horse artillery, with a small cavalry support, the whole being in charge of Col. Lee; and having reached the desired point on the river bank, under cover of the night, they opened fire last Monday morning on the enemy's transports coming up with reinforcements and supplies for McClellan's army. The first transport was disabled and driven back, and as soon as the position of our artillery became known, the enemy brought up his gunboats and shelled them at a desperate rate. Managing, however, to avoid their range, our boys waited till evening, when a large fleet o
