d and dispersed them. A strong detachment of British troops under Colonel Turnbull was then stationed at Rocky Mount in Chester district, just over the Fairfield line, for the purpose of overawing this portion of the colony. The news of the success of Bratton, Winn and McLure drew down upon them the vengeance of the British officers, and Captain Houk was detached at the head of four hundred British cavalry and a considerable body of Tories, all well mounted, to push the rebels. On the 11th July, Houk came with his whole command to the house of Bratton, against whom the British ire seems most to have been excited, and ordered Mrs. Bratton to provide a repast for himself and his troopers. He asked her where her husband was, to which she fearlessly replied in Sumter's army.

She answered with heroic firmness she would rather he should die in the

At last, July 11th, Rosecrans struck at the vital point, and Garnett's whole army was defeated. By defeating three hundred and fifty men on the Rich Mountain, McClellan defeated Garnett's entire army of five thousand, and that so badly that his retreat became a rout.

We were now relieved from duty on the picket line. Sentinels around our camp is the only guard kept by us. July 13th.—We had heard befoerations against a fleet attempting to come in, but the guns on the sea face did little damage to the fleet of ironclads. Battery Gregg was situated at Cummins Point, and was built and armed exclusively for operations against a fleet. On the 11th of July the enemy attempted to carry Wagner by assault, but failed. On the 18th, as I have already said, a much more vigorous and determined attempt was made. They were repulsed with great slaughter, though this attempt came near being successful. <
