Bivouac cit 8td Ga. Regt., 1
Woodstock,' Va., June 28,1862. J
Dear Courier: This lias been a dis
astrous day to tho "bloody eighth.”
Yesterday a> dark, we wtre moved out
ahout r mile right oblique to the front
froth Mrs. Price’s house, to be in sup
porting distance of Toombs’ Brigade,
who had been engaging the enemy in
the vicinity of James Garnett's resi
dence. We got in position at 9 o'clock
nnd ln<> on uur arms.all night, expect
ing, if the enemy did not advance on
us, to attack them nt daybreak this
meriting. But for sump reason we were
not oidercd to udvnncu until about
noon. We were then ordered to ad
vance on, and churge a very strong
ly fortified and large battery of the
enemy, mounting fifteen guns, distant
from us about 900 yards.
It is said that one Regiment o*
'1 oouibs’ Brigade were ordered to make
the charge with the 8ih, but for some
reason they did not do so, und we, with
only about 450 men, dashed aheud.
As soon us tve hud got in sight of the
enemy's pickets, the Light Guards and
Oglethorpe Light Infantiy, were thrown
forward und .deployed as skirmishers.
The Regiment was moving forward in
liuu of buttle, and three companies
were so deployed as to cover the entire
front.
The skirmishers had not advanced 50
yaids, be foie Sergt. W. J. Hutchings
was severely wounded in tho Upper part
of hislelt thigh. Lt. Moore stopped to
take care of him, and the balance push
ed forward. Tho enemy had a very
heavy picket force, and with their ex
cellent long i'ange guns, they made it
very hot ior us, as we advanced on
them. They could not stand tho im
petuous churge, and fell back in good
order, but disputing eveiy inch of
grouud. We had to churge through a
u field some 300 yards wide, whiia the
enemy were under cover of woods.
Our boys pie. sed forward, in spite <f
the murderous fire of the vandals, and
soon gained the woods, where we were
on an equal footing wjth them. Soon
after striking the woods we came to u
thick jungle, in a swamp, and almost
impassable. Our lit.e was, however,
kept much more peilect, tliuu, consid
ering the nuture of the ground, cou.d
have been reasonably expected. Alter
passing the swtnnp, we hud to ascend
the hill, on whicu the redoubt is built.
The lull side is oovered with pine tim
ber, atm ah the undergrowth has been
cleared away, on, ou, charged the
Regiment. CTniing up to their rille
pus, we took tlivui at the point of llgp
bayonet. Up to this time the charge
had been most successful on our part;
but it wuB new puinlully up] arenl that
our force was too small, and that, we
were only occupyii.g the front and
right ot this stronghold of the ene
my.
They immediately moved a heavy
force, with two cannon, down on out
right flank, ami were about cutting us
off', when the order to fall back was
given"? The retreat was somewhat pre
oipilate at first but oi-Jer was soon re
stared. While in the pits the men
were completely protected from the
Yankees, but ss soon is 11«j tint
od back, a most murderous fire, was
poured upon them. If there hud-been
mother Regiment on our right, thus
preventing our being flanked there, all
agree that we could have taken the
battery easy.
The list of casualties on our side,
though a sad und poitiful one, is yet
not so long ns might be expected. Ac
cording to the best information up to
this tithe, '5 o'clock P. M., ottr entire
loss in killed, wounded and missing, is
between seventy-five nnd a hundred.
Col. Lamar was severely wounded and
taken prisoner. Col. Towers wav taken
prisoner; Miy. Migruder was slightly
wounded in three places, a small piece
shot off from the top of his nose, a
flesh wound on the point of his right
si oulder. und a bruise on the side from
a piece of a shell. He is in good spirits
nnd says ho will fight the Yankees
again in a few days.
The following is a list of all the kill
ed. wounded and missing in the Floyd
companies:
Light Guards.— Killed — Stafford.
Severely wounded—J. T. S. Johnson
and W. S. Hutchings. Marion Payne
slightly wojnded in the face; W. S,
Ilooton, Blight flesh wound in the right
thigh. Missing—Robert PeJournette
und Wm. McKay. It is believed that
PeJournette remained on the field to
take care of Johnson.-
Miller Rifles.—Killed—J. M. Martin,
8 D. Asbury, W. A. Hnid'n and 8. B.
Wic.pee. Severely wounded—-Lieut.
Montgomery. Emmet Leo, F. M. Rey
nolds and J. A. Frix. Slightly—-J. \V
Robinson, T.C. E»tis and C. P. White
head. Missing—II. L. Ware, tnd W
H. May. Lieut. Uhas. Harper was tak
ken prisoner. He went inside the ene
my's lines, ufter the fight, with a fl ag
of truce, to, look alter the wounded,
and, prcbtbly, uuthoughtedly carried
Itis pistol in ids belt; tiffs the Yankees
discovered, and, charging him with act
ing in bad (aim, took him prisoner. Of
milt■ V-MMl
course he did wrong to go nrmed, while
claiming the protection of a flag c f
truce, and I am nfi-uid they will hold
him, though no one who knows him
believes lie intended to take a dishono
rable advantage, even of tho ^nost des
picable foes.
Floyd Infuntr$.—None Killed—
Wounded—J. tticks, J. R, Manning,
and W. J. Dennnn. (I linve not learn*
the extent of their wounds.) Missing—
G. W. Pinson, and J. M.Green.
It Ib altogether pi'obuhle that a con
siderable portion oi' the missing are un
harmed. and will soot come up to the
Rpgiment.
The extent of the injuries inflicted
upon the enemy is of course unknown,

that our Heavenly Father, in helping
us to this Victory, has had - an eye on

In the second place, if recognition by
the European powers ever takes place,
this victory will force it. The result
of which, mutt, of necessity, produce

Soon tlie dry-goods and grocery, spec

A Contrast Between Generals,
How vividly i* the difference in the
moral eliarncteristicH of, the Northern
and Southern Generals marked in llietr
dispatches and reports. The Yankee
true to his instincts and habits, swells
with lies, garn'shes with deceit, and
always supj resses the truth. Wo will
except from this censure G; net-ill Irvin
McDowell, who has displayed more
generalship than any of their Generals.
He very nearly told the truth about the
Manassas defeat-. Curtis also mude
such humble claims to victory on such
poor grounds at Elk lion as to convince
the world that Van Dorti really won
there a glorious triumph. But what
shall we say of McClellan and Haileck
and Bunks?—their reports are as infla
ted ns Lowe’s balloon, “full of sound
anil fury, signifying nothing.”
There is no truth nor modesty nor
magnanimity appeared in their bulle
tins. A New York- writer lms justly
said, Hillock is the "Major Gen. liar of
the West”—he may Add, McClellan is
entitled to the mine honor in tho Eist.
Look at the dispatches of Lee, Beau
regard, Johnston and Jankson for sim
plicit.v, candor, and modest expression
f truth. Three of. these men are
Christians, and all of them gentlemen
of noble mould. Who can fail »o ad
mire the retiring, unselfish character of
Johnston, who could write in his re
port of the battle of Manassas thus—
we owe our success under God to the
skill and indomitable courage of Gen.
Beauregard—to the heroism of Jack-
son, Evans, Ac.” Beauregard lias been
the idol of the nation, his praise has
been sounded to tbe end of tho earth,
and yet be appears in bis repent of the
buttle of Shiloh, a meek, Moses-like
nmn at the head of his triumphant
lusts, intent only upon serving his gen
eration well.
Gen. Lee occupies the highest official
position, is regarded as a man of the
highest accomplishments, yet so reserv
ed is he, the people almost forget that
lie is alive and at the head of our en-
iiie army.
What shall we say of the inimitable
Jackson ? lie lias done more m less
time, with less purade, than any milita
ry man, pemups, of modern times.

of the (Jonfeeraie States, do heartily
tender to you the thanks Of the coun
try whose just oau8e.you have so skill
full and heroically served.
Ten days ago an invading army vast
ly superior to you in numbers and the
mat, ri ilof war, closely beleagueie I y mr
capital, and aunt.ngly precl imeu is
speedy conquest. You -marched to at
tack the enemy in his entrenchments.
With well directed movements nnd
death-daring valor you chatged upon
him in his strong positions, drove him
from field to field over a distance of
more than thirty-five miles, and des
pile his reinforcements and compelled
him to seek safety under the cover o f
his gunboats', where he now lies cower
ing before the urmy he so lately derid
ed and threatened with entire subju
gation.
The fortitude with which you have
borne the toil and privations—t o gal
lantry with which'you have t.itered
into eaoh successive battle, mifst have
been witnessed to be appreciated ; but
