We were on ihe diuuietcr ot a circle, and. a.s we
advanced, PiJkct8"fbllowin^' the arc ol’ the oirt le.
■necessarilj rather contracted t^u; lines towi'rd the
centre. U'e all moved off in as rcairniticeat style
as I ever savt, the lines perfectly Kiruied On
we went When we had iirossed about hall the
interTening space, they . the enemy) opened upon
us a tremendous shower ol' grape and canister;
but 00 we dasheo. our brigade and Picketu’s
men I could see nothing ot the rest of our di
vision, as they were too far to the loft. ,My whole
attention yas directed to onr own brigade and
Pickett's Divihion, as we had been ordered t..
keep dressed to the right. When we had gotten
within about two hundred yard^ of the oneuij H
works we commenced tiring, but stil! advajicin^.
The storm of lead which now met us i.s beyond
description Grape and eani.-vt!r, intermingled
with minies and buckshot The snii>k.' was denrx"',
and at tiiflcs I could scarcely distinguiph my uwn
men ifom Pickett’s; and to «ay that any one :
mile otf could do so is utterly absurd On Wv
pushed, and were now right upon tli.. ei'- ni)
work?, when we-T*'c««v'd n I'unrdcri iis tir«-
our left flank. I, looked to sec %Thcr.i it cHiti»’
f'rotn, and, lo! we were completely flanked upon
our left, not only by infantry, but artilltr}.
Here candor eompcls me to admit that on*’ of tbc
nf Qnj. i^ivisioahad given wav, the cn-
my had seized upon a
galling fire into our left, which compelled th.'
nrooj>s to give way in succe.ssion, to the riL'lit
What could we do now!^ At the very moment 1
thought rietory ours, I ?aw it snatched from our
hand?. With n-t support upon the Icfr. I asked
myself what should wf> do. I had only about
sixty men left in my regfment, and that ^mall
number diminishing every moment, (the others
had suffere.d as badly.) The order e&me from the
right to fall back. We did so a* the same tiiue
with Pickett The day was lost. You nm-t oU-
.'■i.rve I do not attach at:y blame to Pickett I
think he did ^:s duty; and if he did we eortainlv
did our-; because I kn: w. w^ went rLt, far a** Ve
did, aa-i I can safely assert, some distance be
yond, owing to the shape of the enemy’fl worlcs.
wh'.oh ran backward in our front, in the forat -if
a curve, und which compelled us to go beyond
where Pickett was, already at their works, iti
order to reach ^hera ourselves. The color bearer
of my regiment was shot down \rhile attempting
t> plant the tiag on the wall I will here men
tion a remark luade to me afterwards by (ien
Petfiirrew. With tears in his ejes ho spokeA)f
the lo'.-* in his Kns;adf, and then remarked, “Mr
Qiible briirade hud .gained t^e enemy’s works, and
woul'J hdr.- h. id rhi-m had n'*t ———% frigade,

Peniufula S>‘ws.—There Was a report yester

M‘efing of Methodist Bishops.—The BiBhops

in 3Iontgomery on 4th May -next. Bishops An

Outrages of the Enemy.—We learn from a
most reliable source, that a Yankee gunboat
visited the farm of Mrs. Robert Wilson, on James
River, last Tuesday, and committed such depre
dations on the premises, as to completely deprive
the owner of-the means of subsistence for some
time to come\ They burnt the corn crib, with
its contents, killed all the sheep, mules and
horses, and carried off fifteen negroes, every one
owned by Mrs. W , except a miller, whe fled on
the approaoh of the enemy, and a woman, who
was too sick to be removed ^ Fet*rthnrg Express

Shot' Jdaking in the Army.—The difficultpf of
supplying the army with clothing, and especially
with shoes, has been a subject of much concern
from the period df its first campaign to the pren-
ent time. One brigade in the army of Northern
Virginia—Mahone’s—having experienced the in
convenience of walking through the enemy and
his territory barefoot about long enough, conclud
ed, during the last winter, to render it^lf inde
pendent ot the Government shoe shops and block
ade runners, and get up a shoe shop of its ovd.
The corps of shoe makers, principally self made
workmen, and excellent ones in the bargain, rood
numbered 28. They obtained supplies by «x-
ploring the wood^ and fields about the camps and
gathering up hides which had been thrown awiiy
by army butehcrs^ and exchanging them for
leather, tools and thread, at Oovernment rates
In this way $7000 worth of materials was obtain
ed, affd, during the winter, 2000 pairs of shoes
were made, a large number of boets and shoes
were ^ted, half soled and otherwise repaired,
and the brigade put generally upon a good "war
footing.” By the beginning of the coming cam-
paign^ each soldier in the brigade will have an
extra pair of shoes to swing to his blanket, and,
so far a.s his feet are concerned, will be amply sup
plied until next winter. The shoes are all of
admirable make—unlike the majority of Govern
meet shoes, turned out at the rate of half a doz
en J!iairs per hand*a’day—and each pair will last
for six months.—Richmmd Examiner.
