campaign in Missouri. We are pleased to see
that the author so cordially acknowledges the I'M
common abilities Of Gen. Sterling Price. His ac-
count of that great mans performances in the drama
of the war constitutes most delightful episode
We are glad too, that Gems Floyd and Pillow are
kindly taken care Of and their merits duly appreci
ated.
As far as we can judge he does full justice to the
claims Of the various military officers who have
greatly distinguished themselves during the war.
In his account Of the Bethel and Roanoke Island
battles he does North Carolina even handed justice,
but we think he does not fairly describe the action
at Newbern. He makes the contest too tritiiDg and
thus disparages the conduct of our troops Without
desiring to appear captious we remark further that
he bestows too much time and occupies too much
space in describing events in his own State that are
comparatively unimportant whilst he utterly ig-
nores events of much greater magnitude that have
transpired in other States. But we have not time
to indulge farther comments. The book is deci-
dedly entertaining, and will do our cause good both
at home and abroad The spirit of the work is
better than reader Of the Richmond Examiner, of
which very able, but il-natured paper Mr.. Pollard
is chief editor, would be apt to anticipate. 1t is
wholly free too, from the disgusting Atheism which
sometimes mars the columns Of that unique journal.
Mr.. P. recognizes the hand of Providence in the
events of this war, and does not ippanty sneer at
an "emasculated christianity" We give few err
rors that we remember, (of not much consequence,
however, and close lie spells Sidney IN the Ia
mented Gen. A. S. Johnston's name in two ways
with an and with q. He gives the population of
Newbern, before its capture, as ZOO, whereas it
was at least 1000. lie says that North Carolina
seeded on the 2lst May-it should be the goth.
We have not by us a copy of the History, or we
might extend the list.
We cannot conclude without adding that his &C.
count of the capture of Fort Macon is sparse and
beggarly and does injustice to the gallant who
defended it until its walls sadly damaged and
its debris fell thick around its inmates. The i'm
preston his work makes is, that our brave boys
who fought its guns were unequal to the occasion,
and surrendered after an insufficient and paltry at
tempt at defence. That this impression is at once
false and unkind no one can controvert.
The work is published by West & Johnson the
energetic and entcrprising Richmond Sbliopoles, at
s.. The book is well printed inferior paper and
is bound in paper covers EBEN ITTERBIDE.

DEAR Shiny attention has been frequently
attracted, and sympathy roused by the many APP
peals IN our newspaper columns to the friends and
relatives of soldiers (now in camp and hospitaD re-
questing them to forward vegetables, fruits, &C.
Since the battle near Richmond, many persons to
my knowledge, have gotten up boxes of vegetables,
fruit, SOAP &c, to take to their friends, but after
reaching the depot were obliged to leave these ne
cessaries behind, because of no accommodation.
My attention was drawn to special case to-day.
A friend having received letter from Richmond
Hospital requesting him to forward certain things
extremely necessary, made every effort to comply,
and succeeded in getting up quite assortment for
his needy friends, embracing among the articles
large quantity of butter, honey and soap. On
reaching the depot he was informed there was no
room to receive it, and those necessary articles
which would have been so refreshing and comfort
ing to our wounded and sick soldiers were left be-
hind. have known several instances of this kind
very recently. To friends and soldiers, these hap
penlngs as lamentable as discouragng. My
motive for writing this, is to request you to call
the attention Of proper persons to this matter and
urge upon them the humane necessity of having a
special car each line of railroad for this specific
purpose, and of giving public notice of the same.
Respectfully, A FEMALE FRIEND.

July Il, 1oOz.
General Orders, No.
In pursuance of orders from the headquarters of
the Army, the undersigned rclnquishes the present
command, to enter upon a new field of duty. 1t is
with unfeigned pain and reluctance he leaves d.
vision which, in the last two months, has poured
out more blood in the sacred cause of the South,
than any division in the arny-whlch alone and
unsupported drove the enemy from his abattis for
tifcatons, and rfe-pits at Seven Pines, capturing
eight guns the camp and stores of the enemy and
which at Mechanisville, Coal Harder, White Oak
River, and Malvern Hill, exhibited all those high
and heroic qualities for which the Southern soldier
is so remarkable.
The division, too, has been endeared to its COM
mander by its uniform good conduct in the camps
as well as in the field The troops have shown
by their quiet and conservative character their
derby behaviour and their prompt obedience, that
they did not believe whskey, buster profanity and
rowdyism to be necessary adjuncts to the soldier.
May you ever maintain your present proud posi-
ton; may you ever rebuke with scorn the wretches
who desert your colors in battle straggle from
your ranks on the march and in the camps may
your future deeds be such, that when your name is
mentioned it may send a thrill of joy through the
heart of him who once had the honor of command
ing you. ---E-

left Washington, n c., on the Srd inst,
about 500 strong, to make a reconnois-
sance in force towards Weldon, and with
the purpose of taking the towns of Will
liamston and Hamilton, and dertroying
the strong and extensive rebel fortifica-
tons in that vicinity, and also to inter-
rupt the reported construction of IRON
clad vessels at those points on the ROa-
noke river.
The rebels, some three thousand strong,
made stand at Little Creek whence
they were repulsed with slight loss.
The expedition pushed on over land to
Williamson and Hamilton, which were
found very strongly fortified. The en-
trenchments, some three miles in length,
were taken and destroyed.
The rebel force was successfully flank
ed, but escaped being bagged by a.hasty
flight
No iron clad vessels were discovered.
Our total loss was six killed and eight
wounded
