ed, and escaped through the line and took part in the exceedingly bloody action of next day. At Spotsylvania C. H. the brigade was held in reserve to support any point of attack along the line. In the morning the line occupied by Daniel's and Doles' Brigades was assailed, and they were driven from their breastworks. Johnston's Brigade re-carried the works and re-established the line. This was done in the presence of General Robert E. Lee. The troops refused to make the charge until Generif not always) is sometimes to the swift. Major Brooks, of the 20th North Carolina, and Captain James F. Johnston, aid-de-camp to General R. D. Johnston, were the participants. A flag of the enemy had been planted on the breastworks occupied by Doles' Brigade, now held by three lines of battle. In the charge made to retake the works, each of these two officers made a dash for the flag. Brooks reached out his hand just in front of Johnston and seized the flag, carried it back to the rear, an

What Georgia has done and is doing. --In summing up the outpouring of troops from the State of Georgia, and the spirit still pervading that State, to organize and send forth volunteers, the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says: Beside the regiment of regulars, at Savannah, under command of Col. Charles J. Williams, Georgia has sent to the field ten regiments of volunteers under Cols. Ramsey, Semms, Wright, Doles, Jackson, Colquitt, Gartroll, Vrumby, Goulding, Anderson, three regiments independent volunteers (field officers appointed by the President) under Cols. Bartow, McLaws and Johnson of Kentucky, two battalions commanded by Majors Villipigue and Hardeman, besides two independent companies. There are also in Virginia Georgia companies enough to organize another regiment. So that we have now raised and sent off some 14,000 soldiers besides the regulars.--The Brigade of Gen. Phillips, encamped at Big Shanty, numbers near 2,500. The Toombs regiment--4th independent — is now or

ng for the army, I am exceedingly rejoiced in being able to state that the noble move begun in their midst by Battle's gallant brigade of Alabamians is likely to go on, until every brigade in the army shall declare its voluntary purpose never to lay down arms until our honorable and lasting peace shall have been won on the battle field, or secured through negotiation. The whole of Rodes's division, consisting of Battle's Alabama brigade, Daniel's, Johnson's and Ramseur's N. C. brigades, and Doles's Georgia brigades, have patriotically followed the lead of Rodes's old brigade, and are now enrolled for the war. Nor has it ended here Lane's North Carolinians of Wilcox's division, and Wilcox's old brigade of Anderson's division, have likewise renewed their pledges of devotion to their cause and country. Old Virginia, too, is no laggard in this glorious work. Mahone's brigade, made up of men from those portions of the State now within the enemy's lines and under the dominion of Beas

I suppose it may be as well for me to tell you that during the last snow there were several fights in the lines of this army--not with leaden, but snow balls.

The effort was replete with argument, and being interspersed with anecdotes, was well received. Gens. Lee, Rodes, Johnson, and many other General officers, were in attendance.
