o move at 5 o'clock P. M., with three days rations. I having five companies on picket at the Crenshaw bridge, was ordered to take command at that point, while the other five companies, under Major Cowan, would march with the brigade and cross the river at the Telegraph bridge and move down the river, in order to drive the enemy from their position. My orders were that I should cross the river, with the five companies, and make an attack in rear of the enemy. About twelve o'clock on the 26th, I heard sharp skirmishing, and drew in my pickets in order to cross, and while doing so could see that the enemy were in full retreat. While crossing the river, I received a dispatch from you, ordering me to join the command ; that you were in the road immediately opposite. I joined the command, and from that point we marched to Mechanicsville, and reached that place tinder a most terrific fire of shot and shell. About 12 o'clock P. M., the firing ceased, and we were ordered to lie in p

own and remained in camp there until 22d, when we marched upon Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and camped a little south of the town and remained until the 24th, when we marched upon Chambersburg, reaching that place about the middle of the day. At twelve o'clock at night I received orders to move with my brigade to Shippensburg, as General Jenkins was threatened by the enemy. I commenced the march about one o'clock and arrived there about 5 A. M., and relieved General Jenkins in command. On the 26th the remainder of the division came up. On the following day we marched upon Carlisle, where we remained until the 30th, when we marched upon Gettysburg by way of Heidlersburg, and arrived within two and a half miles of the town about 12 M. At this time I received orders to turn to the right and follow the trail of the troops that had preceded me. After moving some three-fourths of a mile, I received orders to form my brigade in line about two hundred yards in rear of General Iverson, my left

— I have the honor to report that on Wednesday, the 25th of June, I left camp with my regiment, numbering four hundred and eighty, and with the balance of your brigade proceeded up the Telegraph road, crossed the Chickahominy on the morning of the 26th, and advanced towards the Meadow bridge. Two of my companies were ordered to Mrs. Crenshaw's bridge to apprise Lieutenant-Colonel Hoke, with a portion of his regiment which was doing picket duty on the south side of the Chickahominy, that the way hief allowed him to take no rest until he found shelter under the guns of his shipping. You captured from him a flag before any of the troops had crossed the Chickahominy. At Mechanicsville, you were under a heavy fire on Thursday evening, the 26th, and Friday morning, which you had no opportunity to return. At Gaines' mill you opened the fight and continued in it until the enemy had been driven from every part of the field. On Monday, at Frazier's Farm, you were again in the heat of t

our own good and true Hardee [cheers] . . . . ; the other, Beauregard [cheers], goes to share the toils, the fortunes, the misfortunes, if it be so, of the army in Georgia. But I have the statement of President Davis, showing the occasion of his visit to the army, and the real reasons for General Hardee's assignment to a different command. It is as follows: Beauvoir, Harrison county, Mississippi, 29th February, 1880. Colonel T. B. Roy, Selma, Alabama: Dear Sir — Yours of the 26th instant has been this day received, and I will make such reply to your inquiries as is possible from memory and the remnant of correspondence in my possession. It is extremely painful to me that any question should have arisen involving the character and conduct of one so highly esteemed and affectionately remembered by me, as is my deceased friend, the late General Hardee. This is intensified by the fact that the discussion involves another most highly respected, and whose memory is personal
