ptural excuse of having married a wife and could not go. Nevertheless we marched, and there was many a tearful leave-taking — for from the cordial reception given us by the noble women of Norfolk had grown many sincere friendships, and I recall no other occasion of the war which so much resembled the home-partings as the day our regiment left the city. To many of us our sojourn there was the oasis in the social desert of the war. Next, to Seven Pines, the Seven Days to Malvern Hill, and Mahone's bandbox brigade (as the veterans of Manassas jocularly taunted us) were part and parcel of the Army of Northern Virginia, under the direction of the great leader of war and his lieutenant, whose dash always won the hearts of his men. But I will at once pass over the three years which followed — years of hard marches, hard-tack, short fare and short wear, victories and reverses — to the 9th of April at Appomattox — years pregnant with the unfinished history of a people whose efforts in

heavy force. They were pressed slowly back, bravely resisting the enemy's advance. Gordon's division, Brigadier-General Evans commanding, sent forward in support, formed on Pegram's left, charged and drove the enemy before it, but was finally forced by superior numbers to retire. It was readily reformed near the enemy's lines, and again advanced with spirit while Pegram charged on the right. The enemy was again driven back; but General Pegram, who was riding immediately with his troops, being killed, and Colonel Hoffman, commanding brigade, severely wounded, a portion of the line was thrown into confusion. The battle had been obstinately contested for several hours, when Mahone's division arrived, and was placed in position to fill a gap between Evans and Pegram. The whole line now advanced to the attack, and drove the enemy in confusion to his works along the bank of the creek. I am, Colonel, very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. B. Gordon, Major-General Commanding.

ttle at the salient. The enemy, in attempting to press their advantage, massed their troops and made repeated assaults with overwhelming odds on the troops sent to oppose their further progress within our lines. Rodes sent from time to time urgent messages for more troops. Brigade after brigade was ordered to his assistance as they could be spared from other portions of the line. On the receipt of one of these messages from Rodes, General Lee sent me to our extreme right, occupied by General Mahone, to bring up your brigade. You moved rapidly across the open space in rear of the Court-house. When we had reached a point on tile Courthouse road, near General Lee's position on the line, the brigade was halted for a few minutes. General Lee rode up alone during this halt, and gave orders that you should move on at once to General Rodes' assistance; and, as the column moved on, he rode at your side at its head. We soon came under the fire of the enemy's artillery. This excited Gene

ible that he would, by choice, have allowed Hooker to concentrate at Chancellorsville with the option, when there, of taking his line in reverse, or of moving upon his line of communications and forcing a battle upon unequal terms. Two brigades (Mahone's and Posey's) of Lee's army were stationed at United States ford, and their commander only received notice of the approaching danger when General Meade was crossing at Ely's ford, only six miles distant, and then from a straggling cavalryman. GGeneral Mahone moved at once to Chancellorsville, and it was well he did, for at daybreak the following morning the Federals moved upon his outposts. A gallant officer and gentleman, like Colonel Cameron, would not wittingly, I know, cast any unjust reproach upon the memory of that Christian prtriot, the bravery of whose deeds — from his first charge at Manassas to that crowning act of heroism at Yellow tavern, where he interposed less than three thousand men between Sheridan's splendidly app

In this march my brigade was immediately in rear of Mahone's brigade, and I was instructed to follow Mahone's Mahone's command. About 10 o'clock A. M., and when within about one mile of Cashtown (which is at the foot of the eastth mountain), my command was stopped by the halt of Mahone's brigade in the road, in my immediate front. In ahe column again moved forward, my brigade following Mahone's as before. On arriving near Cashtown, I was direc my men in a piece of timbered land in the rear of Mahone, who had preceded me in the woods.

nda made in writing in the latter part of the year 1865. On the night of April 1st, 1865, I received orders from Maj.-Gen'l Mahone, whose division occupied the lines between Swift Run Creek and the James river, to hold my command in readiness to , Lieut. D. M. Rigler says: After the enemy drove us from the works a portion of the brigade fell back in rear of General Mahone's quarters, and was there until you ordered us to the fort. 'Twas near Mahone's quarters that General A. P. Hill wasMahone's quarters that General A. P. Hill was killed. When we came to the fort you were there with some of the brigade. You then ordered all of us to charge the enemy. We held the Jones road about fifteen minutes. Harris's Mississippi brigade came up; the enemy fired on them and they retreatre were any more. The lieutenant-colonel was wounded. I suppose Lieutenant Rigler meant the quarters occupied by General Mahone the previous winter. General Hill was not killed near there.
