ret my confidence in his coolness, judgment and discretion. I also wished to recommend him for promotion to a Tennessee brigade, but he declined. Probably no officer had more distinguished himself by repeated acts of personal bravery and dash than Lieutentant T. T. Turner, or with so slight personal advancement. Up to the time when he was wounded at Spotsylvania Courthouse he had constantly been foremost wherever opportunities presented themselves. Lieutenant Harper Carroll and Lieutenant John Taliaferro, Acting Aide-de-camps, had horses shot under them on the 12th of May, and displayed much personal gallantry.

When we moved, probably one-third or more were still unburied of those who were in reach of our lines. At Spotsylvania, though the enemy held the ground for a week, we found on regaining it ma

cumstances of his conviction. Thomas Gwynn, a free negro, charged with a felonious, unlawful and malicious assault upon William Byrd Page, with intent to maim, disfigure, disable and kill, was again led to the bar, and the Court not being unanimous in their opinion as to the guilt of the prisoner, he was discharged from further prosecution. The Court were all for convicting, with the exception of Justice Bray. David S. Chilton, charged with passing counterfeit bank notes, was examined and remanded for final trial. Wm. Cockson, charged with forgery, was examined and remanded for final trial. Cyrus, a slave, the property of John Taliaferro, charged with burglary, was convicted and sentenced to sale and transportation beyond the limits of the United States for the term of his natural life. The Court fixed his value at $700, if sold publicly, under a knowledge of the circumstances of his conviction. The Court adjourned to meet again this morning at 11 o'clock.
