ALEXANDRIA, June 25, 1S63-From Capt.
Jno. p. White of Seguin, senior Captain in
Garland's Regiment, and N. H. Darnell, ja.,
Adjutant in the 18th Texas cavalry, both
of whom are now en- route for Texas, have

give several more facts concerning the
aBloody Sixth"-the 9th Texas Infantry,
Col. Garland. l will give the facts "with-
out order or metho - and each reader can
arrange them to suit his fancy:
The 9th, 10th and Sweets regiments are
consolidated, temporarily, to form one reg
iment, of which Rodger Q. Mills is Colonel,
Scott Anderson Lieut.. Colonel, and Maj.
Saunders, of Sweets, is Major. This regi-
meni is at War Trace, and numbers about
q thousand men.
The other Texas regiments that were
captured at Arkansas Post, Of Churchilfs
Brigade, were united into one-that is, The
18th cuvalry, the Oath cavalry, 18th cavalry,
and 18th cavalry. These are commanded
by C. G. Gillespie, Col, j. L. Colt, Lieut..
Cell and VIM. A. Taylor, Major.-The other
or third regiment, is composed of the other
regiments Of Col. Churchill's old Brigade
that is Dawsons and Portlockss regi-
mcnts, and commanded by Lieut.. Col.
Hutchinson. Richardson's Texas cavalry
company, Nuts and Denson's Louisiana
cavalry, have been dismounted, and form
the llih company in Mills's regiment, un-
