6th Crorgln Regime*]l.
Richmond, Va., Jqne 3, IS62.
Mr. Clisby— Dear sir.—Supposing that
some of the friends of this (the 6th Ga.)
Regiment, commanded by Golonel A. H.
Colquitt, might want to know the casual
ties in the late battle of the 31st ult., and
the 1st inst., 1 herewith send you a list
which is at your disposal. As Chaplain
of the Regiment it may not be im
proper for me to state that the Regiment was
for a considerable time under very heavy
fire as the amount of killed and wounded will
show. Our brigade was the first to enter
the enemy’s camp on Saturday. We en
tered so unexpectedly that several prison
ers were taken m the tents. 1 will give
one instance: A soldier of Capt. Anderson’s
company seeing three Yankees in one tent
seized an axe and ordering them t*< surren
der, received ali of them as prisoners. J
might give other instances, but this will
suiiice to show that this Regiment occu
pied a place in the van of the army. This
Regiment did not actively participate in
tli% fight on Sunday, although it occupied
its place on the battlefield, for the enemy
made their strongest attack of that day
further towards the centre, while our Brig
ade was on the extreme right of the
to offer insults to others, nor to allow oth
ers to insult him with impunity.
Left an orphan at an early age, he was
thrown upon his own resources without
either money or friends. He began the
duties of life as a county school teacher
and by which means he obtained money
to pay his way at Coliege. After receiv
ing his Diploma at a law school, he set
up an offiec in Lebanon, Tennessee, in his
native county. His energy, talents and
high moral character, were a ready pass
port to success, and patronage soon crow
ded upon him in abundance.
In personal appearance he was tall and
commanding, with light reddish hair and
whiskers, large Roman nose and dark grey
eyes. In his debates and public speech
es, lie spoke'with great deliberation, and
with an articulation so distinct that his
words might be easily understood as far
as his voice could be heard! While speak
ing, his attitude, voice, and gestures nat
urally conveyed the idea that he meant all

That General Joseph Johnson^ was
wounded at the close of the day on Satur
day and disabled from immediate service,
is no longer a military secret. He ceased
to command the army, late of the Poto-

j himself a complete successor of General

But none can fail to deplore the tempo
rary retirement of the consummate leader
who has, so far retained the complete con
fidence of every officer and every soldier
and of all classes in the Southern Confed
eracy. His wound at this moment is a
national disaster. He is the only com
mander on either side iu this contest that

From New Oilrann,
We have been kindly furnished, says the Char
leston Courier, with the following extracts from a
letter received in this city :
New Orleans, La., June 2, 1862.
General Butler is stilLin New Orleans at the St.
Charles Hotel. He. visits the Custom House
ouce a day under a guard of one hundred nic-n.
At present he has increased his army around tho
St. Charles to one thousand men. Occasionally
he takes a pleasure trip to Dan. Hitchcock's Hotel
at the Lake, out on the magnificent shell road..
He is so badly scared at the results recently ta
ken place in the city, that he will not permit
Commodore Farragut to leave even with his fleet
of seven vessels, who is extremely anxious te visit
Red River, and other important points on the way
while the river is high; and a strong communica
tion has recently passed between them on the sub
ject. General Butler demanded Commodore Far
ragut to remain, because the navy took the citv,
and his services were required there. Commodore
Farragut replied that the army was in possession
■of the city, and should hold it. lie did not think
Iris services were required, and that he should be
permitted to proceed up the river on o her duty.
We would like to see them pitch into each oth
er. If Commodore Farragut will gu up the river,
we doubt if Butler will hold the city forty-eight
hours, judging from the present state of things.
The Confedeiate regiment, which disbanded, have
their arms stowed away securely, and about
three thousand of onr best Louisiana boys have
returned to the city aud joined our “getting up,”
which will give ns eight thousand men to do
what I don’t think I ought to tell you at present.
Gen. Butler lias recently stationed at Dau Hitch
cock’s Hotel, fivo hundred men, to protect him at
that place, while he enjoys other people's luxuries.
On last Tuesday, two United Stales army utiicers
and one United States navy officer, hired a car
riage and visited this Hotel; the driver was a boy
eighteen years of age, and faithful to the cause of
the South; he picked up a friend of his on bis car
riage returned to the city between twelve and one
o’clock at night, but nothiug has been beard of
the officers since.
No doubt you have heard of Butler’s proclama
tion concerning our ladies, aud I guess he regrets
it very much. Our ladies now wear a neat little
secession flag sewed on their bosoms, and they
plainly show a revolver in the right side of their
belt, and a small dirk iu the left, and in many ca
ses they are seen turning up their noses, with a
peculiar pout, and an insignificant shake of the
bead—‘-you nasty Yankee, you,” and pass on. I
am happy to say that the ladies in this city have
taken a bold and decided stand. No United
States officer, or soldier, is permitted to ride in the
cars, if two or three New Orleans ladies are in it.
Mr. Lawson, the proprietor, has published..! card
with regard to this matter, and on tho following
day two United States officers got in a cab on the
Central street line. Two secession ladies were in
the car at the time, they pitched into the driver
with fists doubled for permitting them to enter,
and after driving him from the cars, turned to the
that Gen. Johnson seems possessed on * officers and said, “Sirs, these cars were not made

Richmond Examiner, June 3d-
An Important I.cllrr.
The following important letter was found
in the headquarters of Gen- Casey, after
the battle of Sunday. The consequences
of subjugation are here clearly set forth,
and we see the infamous plans hatching
in Yankee minds to subdue and hold the
South. Yankee troops are to be quarter
ed in our cities ; Yankee bayonets are to
control our rulers; our railroads are to be
controled by i’ankee’officers, and military
Provisonal Governments are to be estab
lished inevery Stale. Tho perusal of this
infamous letter, says the Richmond Dis
patch, second only to the order of Butler,
will rouse the spirit of every Southern
soldier and nerve his arm in the coming
conflict :

Gen. Pobcrt Hatton, who fell in the’late
battle at Chickahominy, was a native of
AVilson County, Tennessee. He was
about forty years of age and was entirely
a selfmade mau.' ’He represented his na
tive country several times in the lower
House of the Tennessee legislature, was
on the Electoral Ticket with Fillmore and
Donelson in 1866. was subsequently the
nominee of his party for Governor and fi
nally Representative in Congress from
his district. He graduated at the Cum
berland University at an advanced age,
an was a lawyer of superior ability, lie
was one of the most frank and solid spirits
of his day. and whilst a member of the
old United States Congress, was a host
within himself. He took, upon every oc
casion, bold and d ecided grounds for tiie
South, against the agrarianism and usur
pations of the North. Although a man of
enlightened judgment and comprehensive
views, his politicn! prejudices were strong
and unrelenting- lie was nobly sensitive
anil ever ready to resent tho slightest per
sonal offence, vet he was in many instan
ces patient and forebearing, particularly
with inferiors. Personal courage, border

the enemy at Shiloh and the utter demor

armv. We firmly belive that if Gen. Beau-
regard’s army was divided into bndjes of
-ten thousand men, and under the com
mand of such bold, daring; dashing, anti
dirt digging leaders, as Jackson, Price,
Morgan and ot!*ers, that they would rid
’the border States of every invading foe, in
less than thirty days. This digging dirt
and burrowing in the ground, is a contem-
tible cowardly way, to wage war, one sui

He attacked him at sunrise, and after a terrible
battle of four hours, Jackson completely routed
him, capturing six pieces of artillery, all Shields
had, and a number of prisoners. The rout was as
complete as in the case of Banks Shields had
9,066 men, and Jackson about the same number.
Fremont was reinforced, and on Monday appear

As the statement that Gen. Joseph E. Johnston
was wounded in the battle on Saturday last, near
Richmond, Va., has been published in some cf the
papers, it may not be amiss to allude to it here.
We are pleased to learn that the wound, though
severe, is not considered dangerous, and though
unable to be present on the field of battle he is ena
bled to transact business at his headquarters.
His wound was caused, we understand, by a
piece of shell striking Him in the sh iulder. It is
earnestly to be hoped that he will soon be able to
resume bis position.
