ul to God for the victory achieved over our enemies on this occasion, we can but lament the loss of many valuable lives. Our casualties amount to twenty killed ninety-six wounded, and twenty-eight missing. Many of the missing have returned since the day of the battle. I am much indebted to Surgeons H. X. Greens, of the 12th Georgia regiment, and W. T. Blano, of the 31st Virginia, for their attention to our own wounded as well as those of the enemy. They have been untiring in their efforts to alleviates their sufferings. Dr. Greens was slightly wounded in the hand by a spent ball, whilst attending to the wounded. Herewith I transmit a list of casualties also, the reports of commanders of regiments and corps. I am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Edward. Johnson, Colonel 12th Georgia Regiment, Commanding Monterey Line. To Col. C. L. Stevenson, Assistant Adjutant General, Army Northwest, Staunton (Official.) John Withers. A. A. General

but for want of exact returns I am unable to state precise numbers. I think they will not be far from 1,500 killed and wounded. Nothing could exceed the coolness and determined spirit of resistance which animated the men in this long and ferocious conflict; nothing could exceed the determined courage which characterized them throughout this terrible struggle, and nothing could be more admirable than the steadiness which they exhibited until nature itself was exhausted in what they knew to be a desperate fight against a foe very many times their superior in numbers. I cannot particularize in this report to you the numberless instances of heroic daring performed by both officers and men, but must content myself for the present by saying, in my judgment, they all deserve well of the country. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, [Signed,] John B. Floyd Brigadier-General Commanding. Official: John Withers, A. A General. A. & I. G. O., March 10, 1862.

tucky troops and continually inspired them by his words and example. Having his horse shot under him on Sunday, he entered the ranks of a Kentucky regiment on Monday, and fell mortally wounded towards the close of the day. No this State alone, but the whole Confederacy, has sustained a great loss in the death of this brave, upright, and able man. Another gallant and able soldier and Captain was lost to the service of the country, when Brigadier-General Gladden, commanding 1st Brigade, Withers's Division, 3d Army Corps, died from a severe wound received on the 5th instant, after having been conspicuous to his whole corps and the army for courage and capacity. Major-General Cheatham, commanding 1st Division, 1st Corps, was slightly wounded, and had three horses shot under him. Brigadier-General Clark, commanding 2d Division of the 1st Corps, received a severe wound, also on the 1st day, which will deprive the army of his valuable services for some time. Brigadier-Ge

0 from John Smith, a German, under false pretences. Mr. Aylett, District Attorney, appeared against the prisoner, Mr. J. H. Gilmer for the defence. It appeared that Smith had been commissioned by a friend to get him a substitute, and had been furnished with a paper by Felburg certifying the reception of a man in the army for which he disbursed $2,000. From the evidence, it appeared that the signatures of the officers purporting to receive the substitute had been forged, also the name of John Withers, Assistant Adjutant-General, giving his assent to the transaction. It was intimated in Court that one of the prisoners (Felburg) was a regular substitute agent, and had accumulated considerable money in that way. The precise connection that Dolan had with the transaction did not appear. Sundry witnesses of responsibility and standing were examined in his behalf, and testified that he had been a gallant soldier and bating a disposition to get into bad company occasionally, was above susp

ty yesterday morning: White Sulphur Springs, Aug. 27, Via Dublin, Aug. 28. To Gen. S. Cooper: We met the enemy yesterday morning about a mile and a half from this place, on the road leading to the Warm Springs. We fought from 9 A. M. to 7 P. M. Every attack made by the enemy was repulsed. At night each side occupied the same position they had in the morning. This morning the enemy made two other attacks, which were handsomely repulsed, when he abandoned his position and retreated towards Warm Springs, pursued by cavalry and artillery. The troops engaged were the first brigade of this army, Col. George S. Patton commanding. The enemy were about three thousand strong, with six pieces of artillery, under Brig. Gen. Averill. Our loss is about two hundred killed and wounded. The enemy's loss is not known. We have taken about one hundred and fifty prisoners and a piece of artillery. Samuel Jones, Major General.
