1t will be remembered by our readers that during
last summer, in the battles around Richmond, it
was at one time supposed that Gen. Pettigrew had
fallen. 1t fortunately happened that he was not
Killed, though severely wounded Meantime sew
eral obituary notices of the General appeared and

umns to-day, from the Charleston Courier. As we
oia not see it when it first appeared and as it con-
tans brief history of his remarkable career which
VIII oe interesting to his countrymen, we now pub
lish it.
This sketch, however, does not embrace the ear.
her life of the General He is son of the late Hon.
Eoenezer Pettigrew, Of Tyrrell County, North:
Carolina His Christian name, James Johnston,
was given to him after James Johnston, Esq, oe
Edenton, whose sister married the uncle of Gen.
Pettigrew's mother. His mother dying while he
was an infant he was sent to Newbern, and there
remained for the most part with his Shepard rela
tiVes, until transferred to Mr. Bingham's school at
HillsbOroush 1t was his habit, while at school with
Mr. Bingham, to spend his vacations in Raleigh with
his relative, James B, Shepard, Esq.
In Gen. Pettigrew the boy gave promise of the
man. His character has always been.pur and up
right He has been close student from boy,
and with his inquiring mind and enlarged capacity
of thought he has acquired much knowledge Of a
varied and useful character. He entered the Uni
versity of this State in 1S4S, and graduated with
the first distinction in 1S47. He was then placed
in charge of the Washington Observatory until
1S4S, when be went to Charleston and completed
his law studies under his cousin, the late Hon.
James L. Petigru. He afterwards spent two years
in Europe, principally in Germany and was .subse-
quently elected a member of the Legislature of
South. Carolina, in which body he distinguished
himself especially by his report against opening
the African slave trade. Gen. Pettigrew is not yet
in the maturity of his mental powers His friends
and the country generally, if his life should be
spared, may reasonably expect that his usefulness
and reputation will be greatly increased

of Capt. John NJ. McGraw, for the perusal Of .
letter to her, giving some very interesting de-
tails of the hard fought battles OF Mursreesboro,
but owing to the want Of room we connot pub
lish only IN. extract or two. On Wednesday,
the 3lst, Adjusant Elliott was wounded in
the breast, slightly, the 1t. Colonel was shot in
the calf Of his leg; and the Colonel in the thigh
when the command was given to Capt. NJ. II
Am sorry to say that John Burket. German in
my company, was killed-another man, whose
name do not recollect, who recently Joined the
57th and was in my CO., was also killed. Amos
Draper, Mr.. Forsolls nephew, was MORALLY
wounded in the hips-one leg was amputated,
and they tell me he is dying this Jan 4, af
ternoon. Several others are slightly wounded
in the company. In the regiment as near -
can be ascertained. ten are killed, fifty -four
wounded, and about twenty missing. Albert
Prescott had not been very we'll for several days
and had his gun in q wagon; he went back on
the morning OF the fight to get it, and have not
heard Of him since; it is probable he has been
easy, for do not think he is killed. and he may
not be taken prisoner" II am very busy since
being in command Of the rcgt-there are no
field officers, and got Capt. Stiddom to assist
me. The 57th did nobly and all fought bravsly

drove back the whole Of Breckenridges corpse.

GRIERSON'S CAVALRY RAID. ETC.

onAf1AcONo NakALh1 h5lD, LII.
The capture Of Alexandria, La, ION the
Red River, 150 miles from its MOUTH is de-
scribe0. The work was done on the 9th, by
Admiral Porter, with his own and some of
Admiral Farragut's boats. Two days before
they had finished up Fort De Rassy, disabled
one small rebel gunboat and put another to
fight. On the evening of the 9th, after the
capture of Alexandria, some of our cavalry
from New Orleans arrived there, thus form
ing junction between the gunboats and the
land forces of Gen Grant. New Orleans
papers give some particulars of Gen Grants
operations, and the city was alive with exul-
tation over the capture of Grand Cult, Port
Gibson, and particularly the arrival of Col
Grierson's cavalry all safe at Baton Rouge.
Col ericsson himself was in New Orleans, the
hero of the hour. His forces, the 9th and
18th Ill Cavalry, left La Grange, Tenn, or the
18th of April, and reached Baton Rouge on
the I'd of May. Their zigzag course gave
them a route of about 500 mles-in one in
stance they rode so miles in 2S hours. They
swept breadth of about 20 miles through
the entire state of Mississippi clean of ev-
erything of most value to the rebels; broke
bridges, tore up railroads, destroyed immense
quantities of army provisions, ruined engines,
cars, depots and towns, spoiled the telegraphs,
and so utterly bewildered the rebels that be-
fore any efficient resistance could be made
they were safe within Gen tanks lines. In
all their sixteen days ride they had but one
nights rest. Col Grierson SAYS that had i,
been part of his plan he could easily have
organized two brigades of negro troops, SO
gladly did the slaves crowd upon and follow
him. Capt Howard Dwight, of Gen An
drew's staff, was basely murdered on the 4th
inst, near Washington, La, after having sur
rendered to some rebel scouts. Gen Banks
at once ordered the arrest of 100 white men
nearest the place of assassination, to be held
until further orders. Gen Banks has issued
an order proposing the formation of an en-.
tire army corps Of blacks, to be called the
Corps d'Afrique. In consequence of further
disturbances in places of amusement about
national airs, Gen Sherman had ordered that
programmes shall be submitted to him before
publication; he recommends, also, that per-
tormances be lnterspersed with national mu-
sic. Inc police are ferreting out treason in
the schools many of the public schools have
been deserted in consequence of the singing
of Union songs, ETC., by children of loyal in
habltants, and the rebels are educating their
ofispring-so much as passes for white-:n
private academies; these are nests of treas
on, the children being taught to hate and re-
vile the Union. Three or four principals OF
such schools have been heavily fined all of
them are women, that sex furnishing the
most utterly devilish traitors to be found in
the South.

Rebel Idea Of the Prospect Ahead.

The rebels indulge in no dreams af speedy
peace on account of their repulse of Hooke,
on the Rappahannock. The Richmond En-
qulrer, In an article on the consequences OF
the victory, says:
1t will be as well to make up our minds
to the fact that the campaign of '63 is to be
more furious and sanguinary than that of
81, and if that fail, then the struggle of "a
will be the most terrible of all. because i,
will be the last chance of Lincoln and hi,
republicans. There can be- neither policy.
nor honesty, nor humanity, in helping to shn,
our peoples eyes to this too palpable pros
pect. Our enemies, as has been abundantly
demonstrated, though they cannot make war
very well. cannot make peace at all. War is
costly to them, but peace would be ruinous.
And there is nothing to hinder them, having
command of the river mouths, and base on
the Rappahannock, and another base at Suf
folk, and the peninsula open to them all
around, from White House, on one side. to
Drowry's Bluff on the other-nothing to
hinder them from trying another On to
Richmond by another way, or by several
ways at once, and trying it again and again.
Again and again they will be beaten and dis
sraced; but they are used to that, and will
fight Or. 1t is not war that will burst their
credit: ii is peace. War is not depriving
them of their trade with u.s. it is peace that
would do that. and they have no apprehen-
sion of lack of soldiers; on the contrary, the
native Yankees can now stay at home and
trade and manufacture, and put into the field
the hes. fighting material in Europe, BY de-
coying iuto their service myriads of Ger
mans, with the promise of farms, to be cary-
ed out of southern plantations, and hosts of
too credu,ous Irishmen, (alas! for them
with the villainous assurance that the south.
