I : Camp near Winchester, Va., V j - f ' v ', ; October 21st, 1862. v As the army has done very little since I wrote you, more than "watch and wait," and, at the same time, receive supplies of clothing, a&c, I can do little more now than give youfc brief account of a very pleas ant and interesting ceremony which took place here yesterday, -v''';,;-'-' i- v:v , At ten oclockf under command of Colonel W. J. ; Clark, the officers of ther Brigade formed in line and marched to Gen. Ransom's tent, where they halted and formed in front of the tent. The Colonel' then escorted the General ;out, when Captain David C. Clarke stepped forward and addressed him gracefully as follows : . ! . ' "General: In token of their high appreciation of your merit as an officer, the ofiicers of your Brigade desire to present you with some testimonial of regard. They have delegated to me the happy privilege of acting as their ;.organ on this occasion, and in my hands they have placed a beautiful charger, upon which they have bestowed the name of Flora Mc Donald a name around which cluster many of the jewels of the early history . of our good old North State. JBy virtue of the authority vested in me, and in compliance with the wishes of those I represent, I present yon; then, this beautiful animal, the histor ic renown cf whose name we feel assured will but be enhanced, for we know that it will be connected with the mauy deeds of past valor, as well as others yet in store and to be achieved by the gallant rider. We, as a Brigade of NorthACarolijiians, are proud to be commanded by so gallant and chivalrous a son of our mother State. Iirst upon the hard contested field of Malvern Hill, ydur gallantry was displayed in leading us through the thick hail of the missiles of . dsathand until night put an end to the conflict, your' voice was heard to ring along -.our lines above the din of battle, urging us on to victory.

To this address Gen. Ransom responded in a most felicitous manner as follows: ' ' ! "Capt:' Clark : To you, and to those of my com rades in arms, whom you represent, I tender my heartfelt thanks for the unqualified compliihent you have paid me, an for the beautiful -animal yo .'haVe given me.' I accept both, my friends, with no ordina ry emotions of pride' and ' gratification. The one; I shall transmit, a-proud inheritance, to my children ; the other . I will ' cherish and use in the servicetof our common country, and I shall not forget that, in her name, is commemorated the fair fame of our na tive, noble old State, and that the women of .our own land speak to us with a purr and patriotisin which must call forth our noblest exertions. :l . ' You have been pleaded to recall the bloody fields of Malvern Hill and Sharpsburg in terms most flat term to myself. To you, gentlemen, and the brave men you so gallantly commanaed, are justly due the successes we achieved and the fame wemay have ac- quirdd. I shall eyer remember, with glowing exul tation, that North Carolina's sons filled the ranks of myiommand, and shall experience no higher gratifica tion and express no prouder boast than that we have : a common mother. k S: .V' .

You, my brave coBlrades, who have experienced the .ampaigh before our national Capitol, j and tne one just ended, must feel that, in the strong arms and brave hearts' of her sons, with God's blessing, lies the power to consummate that glorious result.' To use that power efficiently, it should be exercised as a unit. If, in the past, my earnest efforts for our .nation's welfare have gained the confidence ( ypu have so gen erously given me, be assured that your expression of it shall, in future," ball forth every faculty with whick rl have been endowed to preserve and strengthen that --feeling. Upon the weary march, under the severest privations, and on. tne oatue-neia amia lis ieanm carnage, I have .witnessed your unflinching courage and tried your firm and patriotic devotion to your country. I should do injustice to you, and euaV vio lence to my own feelings, if 1 1 failed to express, as your commander, the reciprocal, confidence which your noble acts have begotten and confirmed in me.. Whatever may be the part we shall be required to act during the great struggle for our liberties, I shall ted; that together-we may strive in securing our country's freedom, and when the last vandal! foe shall have ceased to pollute our soil, and our. country shall be free and happy at home, and proud and hon ored abroad, we f may together "return : ti our owu North Carolina, there to enjoy the priceless gifts with which the devoted courage of our united countrymen and the goodness of Almighty God shall have blessed "US.

RIP. , 1 Interesting Incident. Kingston, September 11, 1862. Truth is said to be sometimes stranger than fiction., .1 found, on a recent visit to Richmond, a beautiful verificitiou of this remark, illustrated ir the peraan and fortuned rthd axomplished "daugh ter of Sir John Musgrave, of England! ' A few years ago, Sir John -Musgrave and his beautiful daughter visited, New York, bringing with them the prestige of a good name, and wea'ring the livery of exceeding jgracefulness and refinement of manners. . They were feted and caressed by the merchant; princes of! the great commercial metropolis. The daughter won the heifrt of the gallant son of Henry Grinnell; the gen erous and noble hearted merchant of New York, who hath been, and ever has been, and is . now,: the un flinching and daUatless friend of the Sputh, and who has defied the Lincoln Government in the expression of a bold and, manly opinion, in, our behalf, and in the manifestation for the most substantial aid and comfort to our. cause. 5 . V Sir John and his daughter returned to England, -and soon thereafter , his daughter accompanied Florence Nightingale to, the 'Cr imea, and was thelsunstant com panion day and niht of that angel of mercy, inj her ministrations to the dyino and wounded soldiers iu the Crimean war. On her return to England, ; young Grinnell metHer iii London, and they were married, where they settled enjoying all the luxuries and ele gancies of life, which the princely . wealth of their fathers could s Well afford them. Colonel of Virginia, had often met Hiss Musgrave in New York, and whilst passing down the Street in Richmond, sud lenly .and unexpectedly met her,, wearing that bland' and joyous smile and expression of recognition which imparts such a beautiful benevolence to her counte nance.' "Mercy I '' exclaimed Col, 7- ; "I wpuld as soon have expected to see an angel from Heaven 1 Pray, Miss Musgrave, how came you here ? " 1 Her story was soon told, with most unaffected sim plicity. "After; leavinglNew York," said she, " re turned to England and went with Florence Nightin gale to the'Crimea. On my return home I married Mr.' Grinnell, and on the breaking out of the war in America, my husbsuul - avowed hia uetrmmiitioB to link his fortunes with the Southl and I accompanied him., He soon raised a company fitted them out at an lexpunse to himself of fiteen thousand dollars preferred that some, one of more experience than himself should becaplaih, taking fur himself a lieu tenancy, and he has gone to hght for the South, and I am here in one of the hospitals of Richmond,' caring he best I can for the wounded and dying soldiers of the Con federacy .

The Federal fleet of Galveston, Texas, attack ed that city on the 4th iast' A Federal steamer ran past the battery at Fort Point under a heavy fire, and laid to the central wharf. The battery was then! de stroyed by theConfederate troops, who : marched to Virginia romt. 1 The troops m Galveston left aiid went to the same Point. The Federal steamers lvinr off Gatyeton, five in number,; gave the authorities of tne town tour days to remove the women and .chil dren from the place, at the expiration of which time they would shell the place if it . was not surrendered The cause of the attack, or rather the initiation of the assault, - was the firing into the steamer Harriet Jane by, the guns at Fort Point. -The Harriet Lane steamed in under a, flag of truce, ' but went too far, and was fired into.
