king part in the engagement, if the enemy continued to press forward. As General Garnett fell back he was pursued by the enemy, who thus turning Colonel Fulkerson's right forced him to fall back. Soon after this the Fifth regiment, under Colonel W. H. Harman, came up, and I directed it to advance and support our infantry; but before it met the enemy, General Garnett ordered it back, and thus the enemy were permitted unresisted to continue the pursuit. So soon as I saw Colonel Harman filing Colonel Harman filing his regiment to the rear, I took steps to remedy, as far as practicable, this ill-timed movement, by directing him to occupy and hold the woods immediately in his rear; and calling General Garnett's attention to the importance of rallying his troops, he turned and assigned the Fifth to a position, which it held until the arrival of Colonel Burks, with the Forty-second, under Lieutenant-Colonel D. A. Laugharne. Colonel Burks and the officers and men of the Forty-second proved themselves worthy of

rates, pouring grape and canister into the advance, but were finally driven, and the entire brigade, headed by Browne and McCausland, went down the hill with a shout, giving the enemy time to transfer but a small part of his force by ferry to the north bank. Those who got across fired the ferryboat, under the protection of their guns, and the magazines and commissary stores were seen to be in process of destruction. Dr. Watkins of the Thirty-sixth, Lieutenant Samuels of Williams' staff, W. H. Harman and Allen Thompson of the Forty-fifth, and some others, boldly sprang into the river, and swam across in a shower of grape and canister, seized the ferryboat, and brought it back to the south shore, extinguishing the fire with their hats as water buckets as they came. Echols' brigade, McCausland and Patton, crossed the Kanawha, seized the Federal camp without resistance, and pursued the retreating enemy across the Gauley toward Charleston on the north bank, while Williams and Wharton fol

Harman, of Staunton.--He had command of some of the reserve forces o were scattered in every direction, after the fight, came upon Colonel Harman in the street, who was halted by two fierce, blood thirsty-looking Irishmen (to use the Major's language), who ordered him (Harman) to halt. Harman replied, "I have halted, sir. " At that moment one of thHarman replied, "I have halted, sir. " At that moment one of them spying Hawks, ordered him to halt, and at the same time leveling his carbine on him. In a moment changing his position towards Hawks, the l gun was fired, but the Major did not know whether at him or at Colonel Harman. Through a letter received at Lynchburg a few days since by a niece of Colonel Harman from her aunt, the wife of Major John A. Harman, at Staunton, the intelligence of his death was confirmed, as it m
