Extract Of a letter from DR.. Hamilton,
dated Williams House Va. August
26. 1864.
We have just returned this morning
from Reams Station. where we two
divisions Of the I'd Corps) had very
severe fight with a superior force OF
the enemy. Skirmishing was kept up
all morning with the cavalry Of the
opposing forces, and in the afternoon
the rebs massed in a woods opposite
the church and railroad station. and
charged on our men several times, and
finally got through gap made by some
new recruits retreating from the works.
Our regiment fought most nobIy, and
upheld their heretofore good repu-
tation. The rebs were piled heaps
upon heaps in our front. They came
upon US in heavy force, having line
after line which was opened by our
grape and canister, but to be filled up
as they pressed on. They reached our
breastworks and laid down out of reach
of our bullets, only to rest and renew
the conflict hand to hand. One of our
bravest boys, Sergt Fox, co. q, receiv-
ed four bayOnet wounds in the neck
and face, while fighting the rebs as
they rose on our works. We lost ii
brass twelve Founders after they had
fired all their ammunition.
Col. Beaver had just come to the
front from a leave of absence on ac-
count of wounds, and had not yet ta-
ken command of our brigade, not hav-
ing had time. When a little back of the
line, he was shot through the middle
third of the right thigh by musket
ball. l saw his thigh amputated at
the upper third, being quite close to
his body He stood the pain before
the operation like hero, as be is His
chances to live are good as possible,
for his habits always were of the most
temperate, and his bodily condition is
of the best kind The regiment has
lost its colonel, than whom no better
can be found in the army. In the
wilderness, at SpOttsylvania, Po river,
Cold Harbor, Petersburg, as we'll as at
Charlottesville and many other bat
ties during his more than three years
service, he has stood tower of
giving back bone to the gal
liant 148th for the past two years, as
they both stood the shock of dead Y
conflict. Stars have graced the shout
ders of others far less worthy, while
the government has overlooked this
brave and competent officer by not re-
warding him with at least one star for
each shoulder.
Ist Lieut. d. e. Rolston, Co. C, was
shot through the head and killed in
stantly. He was one Of our best line
officers, and belonged to an unfortu-
nate company that has lost two cap
tains and four lieutenants since the
battle of Chancellorville He was not
buried by us, having fallen into the en-
amy's hands.
We lost five killed and nine wound
ed, and seventeen missing. We de-
stroyed three miles Of the railroad be-
low or south of Ream's station. and
between the station and Warren's DO

AWKWARD THrscs THOSE EARTHQUAKES

AWKWARD THINGS, THOSE EEARTHoUAKEs.-
A little incident has come to our knowledge,
connected with the recent earthquake, which
our readers, perhaps, will pardon us for re-
lating. 1t is of and concerning well known
newspaper man, who affects the highest ton-
ed literary society and the highest rooms IN
the highest priced hotels He bears in his
person the evidence of happy and conten-
ted disposition, and of cultivating first class
cook He feels well, eats we'll, and rests well
the exercise necessary to reaching his lOf
ty room probably conducting to the last NAM
ed blessing He was resting well when the
awkward incident which forms the subject of
this paragraph befell him. Everybody may
recollect the ague fit which seized the tall
brick buildings on the morning of the 9TH,
and how quickly, regardless of costume, the
tenants endeayored to get into the street.
Among these apprehensive individuals was
our hero. Some may question his literary
ability, but none his timidity. Wakened
from his slumbers, his first thought was to
seek safety in flight. "D-n appearances, !"
thought he, when a man is running from
an earthquake" So. with nothing on his
portly person but natty tightly fitting silk
shirt which served but to define his proper
tions, he bolted down stairs. The first per-
son he met was chaimbermaid, who said to
him, soothingly 'Oh, Mr., don't be
frightened; it's all ovcr.' But our hero ,cas
fir ghtened and kept on. He reached the
second flight of stairs by this time the shake
was over, and he began to realize his condi-
ton. The fact that he was surrounded by
several ladies, helped this realization. The
ladies shreked, covered their faces with their
hands, and scuttled away. He tried to get
back to his room; but it was no use Wo-
men were on the right of him, women on the
left of him he met them at every turn. He
was in an awful plight. PLAYING model ar
tist in the corridors of fashionable hotel,
with fashionable ladies for spectators, was
directly opposed to bis notions of propriety
In his desperation he made dash at the first
door that offered, opened it and plunged in.
The room proved to be a sort of carpenter S
closet, and, as the door closed with spring,
our garmentless friend found himself priso-
ner Here he remained, shivering among
the tools till daylight. when his humping
and vociferation attracted the attention of the
bousekeeper, who, first requesting that he
would wait till she turned her back, let him
out. when he made for his dormitory, where,
covered with shame and blankets, he tried to
forget the unpleasantness of the night. The
chambermaid, whom he first met. is of the
opinion that the ladies, considering the cir
cumstances, were needlessly alarmed; 60 she
didn't see anything to be frightened at.n-
