August 15. The Thirty-fourth regiment of Massachusetts volunteers, under the command of Colonel George D. Wells, left Worcester for the seat of war.--A squad of cavalry from Washington, D. C., went into St. Mary's County, Md., and encountered near Leonardstown Capt. William Clark, of the Thirty-seventh Virginia regiment, with a number of recruits, travelling in a wagon on their way to join the rebels. When they were observed the cavalry abandoned the teams and broke for the woods, but the National cavalry pursued them, and several shots were exchanged. Nine of them, including one officer, were taken and carried to the city and sent to the Old Capitol prison. A sharp fight took place at Merriwether's Ferry, on the Obion River, Tenn., between a body of Union troops under the command of Col. T. W. Harris, and a force of rebel guerrillas, under Captain Binfield, resulting in a rout of the rebels, who lost twenty men killed and nine taken prisoners.--(Doc. 182.)

aves and Hickman counties, Kentucky, were passing within eight miles of this place southward, under one Capt. Binfield, who had taken the oath some time since at Hickman. Colonel Harris, commander of the post, immediately ordered out company C, Captain Fullerton, Second Illinois cavalry, in pursuit. The Colonel accompanied the expedition in person. The company left at seven A. M., under command of Lieut. C. Terry, and overtook the enemy about twelve M., at Merriwether's Ferry, on the Obion River, thirty miles from Union City, where they were about to cross, to join some one hundred and fifty others who were camped on the opposite side of the river. The engagement lasted about half an hour, our men behaving in a most gallant manner. As our men came up, the enemy dismounted and hid behind trees and logs, while those on the opposite side of the river opened a cross-fire, which resulted in the death of three of our men--Lieuts. Calvin Terry and John Goodhart, and private Jacob F.

o honors bestowed on his memory could more than repay his devotion. In 1866 General Kelly's remains were removed to Mobile and laid to rest in the bosom of his native State. It may be said of him, as Lee said of Pelham, another son of Alabama, It is glorious to see such courage in one so young. Major-General Evander McIver Law was born at Darlington, S. C., in 1836; was graduated at the military academy in Charleston in 1856; for three years he was a professor in a military school at Yorkville, and in 1860 removed to Macon county, Ala., where he taught school while studying law. On the 11th of January Alabama seceded, and shortly afterward he took a company of State troops to Pensacola, Fla., where he remained two months.. Entering the Confederate service as captain he was elected lieutenant-colonel of the Fourth Alabama, one of the commands greatly distinguished in the first battle of Manassas, where Law was severely wounded. In October, 1861, he was elected colonel of this re

kiff put out and took them, ashore. Here they were treated with great kindness, and on the rest of their way along the river they received readily the most hospitable attentions from the country people. We also learned something of the adventures of a gentleman who took a different direction from the party above. Distrusting the state of things below the island, he, with many others, started up the river, with the intention of skirting the north shore of Beetroot lake, crossing the Obion river, and thus reaching the interior. After traveling some distance up the river, when it became quite dark — for it was dark when they started — they turned into the canebreak. There they wandered about for some time until they became completely lost, and had no idea whether they were traveling towards the lake or the river, or to or from the enemy, whose scouting parties were occasionally heard, Towards morning one of the company was sent in search of a guide; after long wandering about, r
