burn, with these words cocking my rifle and taking aim at him. I made him come back and give up the watch, at the same time telling him he was nothing but a thief, and then ordering him to leave, which he did. In a few moments Colonel Burgwyn said to me that he would never forget me, and I shall never forget the look he gave me as he spoke these words. We then picked him up again and carried him very close to the place where we had been formed in line of battle. Captain Young, of General Pettigrew's staff, came up and expressed much sympathy with Colonel Burgwyn. The latter said that he was very grateful for the sympathy, and added, The Lord's will be done. We have gained the greatest victory in the war. I have no regret at my approaching death. I fell in the defense of my country. About that time a shell exploded very near us and took off the entire top of the hat of Captain Brewer, who had joined our party. I left and went to search for one of our litters, in order to

Pettigrew and Trimble met with the same fate as Picketnfusion and excitement, and during which General Pettigrew was shot and mortally wounded. In wri

on of a soldier, familiar from childhood with tales of war, trained at West Point, tested by years of service in Florida, in Texas, in Mexico, in Virginia, obedient to duty, demanding in turn obedience from others, resolute, unyielding, with courage tempered in the flame of battle, he waited only for a fit opportunity to prove himself the hero he was, to write his name high on the roll of fame and win the plaudits of the world. That opportunity came at Gettysburg. Of the charge made by Pettigrew and Pickett on Cemetery Ridge, I do not propose to speak at length. On the controversies which have raged around it, I shall not touch. But in order to appreciate the heroism of Armistead we must picture in few words the part played by Pickett's Division. During the artillery duel which preceded the charge we lay quiet and (some of us) hugged the ground. When the cannonade subsided we fell in at the word of command and moved in line of battle over the wooded ridge in front, past our

After a brisk fire of musketry, the Confederates made a new attempt to carry this battery, which occupied the key of the position, and had interrupted their turning movement. Johnston, rushing in person into the thickest of the fight, hurled Pettigrew's brigade against it. It advanced fearlessly up to the cannon's mouth; but the Federal gunners, anxious to avenge the memory of Bull Run, where this same Johnston had captured their pieces, coolly waited for the assault of the Confederate brigade, which they decimated at short range. It was driven back in disorder, leaving in the Federal hands its wounded commander, Pettigrew, and the ground strewed with dead bodies. Availing himself of this chance, Sumner assumed the offensive with his left, and drove the enemy back in the direction of Fair Oaks. Smith brought his reserve brigades into action in vain; he could barely hold the ground he occupied, and his forward movement was definitively checked. The Confederate army was, moreove

Franklin ready to receive them. One or two regiments of infantry posted along the right bank, under the command of General Pettigrew, opened a terrific fire upon the Federal vessels just as the latter were turning a difficult angle in the river. SState, and the local militia enlisted in the particular service of the authorities of Raleigh. His forces consisted of Pettigrew's brigade, which Foster had encountered the month previous during his march upon Tarboroa, and two other brigades, comm obstructions on the road, had arrived at the commencement of the fight; it had been joined by that of Robertson and by Pettigrew, who was recalled from the neighborhood of Tarboroa. As soon as the Confederates became aware of Foster's retreat theye the rear-guard of the Federals. But Lee had posted a battery in thickets, from which it commanded the road; and when Pettigrew's brigade boldly advanced against him, it was stopped and driven back in disorder by a fire which inflicted severe loss

House of Delegates. Wednesday, March 13th, 1861. The House was called to order at 11 o'clock by Speaker Crutchfield, and opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Pettigrew, of the Campbellite church. Guano and Plaster Inspection.--Senate bill authorizing the inspection of guano and ground plaster was read twice. Mr. McKenzie desired the bill to be sent to the proper committee. He was of opinion that these inspectorships were nothing more than the imposition of an unnecessary tax upon the people of Virginia. It operated to pay certain persons large salaries for doing nothing. He was opposed to the principle of creating officers for the remuneration of political tricksters and party wire-workers. The bill was committed. Bills Passed.--Senate bills for the relief of the securities of Eugenius Tibbs, late Sheriff of Ritchie county; for the relief of Benj. S. Reynolds, of Harrison county. Senate Bills Reported.--For the relief of Thomas L. Jordan, of Wayne county; d

The Charleston Mercury of the 20th has the following: South Carolina will aid Virginia with two regiments of her victorious troops to maintain the bold position which she has assumed against Federal usurpation. We understand that the regiment of Col. Maxcy Gregg, and the regiment of Col. Pettigrew, have been selected for this service. Of course these regiments will have an opportunity of voting for or against the service, but no one doubts the result. Both regiments will be en route, in a few days, for the scene of their future laurels. affairs at Pensacola. A letter from a volunteer at Warrington Fla. April 18th, says: After a journey of two weeks, we arrived here, and found everything looking warlike. Gen. Bragg, so I understand, is going to send us down to F

pt. Boykin's, left Camden last evening for Richmond in advance of their Regiment, the Second. The Charleston Mercury says; We learn by private advices from Havana that the Commissioners of the Confederate States to the States of Europe had arrived in that city, where they were received with distinguished courtesy by the Captain General. Col. Lamar, who has been detached by Gov. Pickens from his Staff for duty in North Carolina, will leave for Raleigh in the morning. Col. Pettigrew is organizing a regiment for service in Virginia.

A Crack Regiment. --Col. Pettigrew, of Charleston, is raising a regiment of Mounted Riflemen for service in Virginia. It is composed wholly of picked men, each member being required to furnish his own horse and accoutrements. The regiment will be specially pitted, it is said, against the "Seventh" of New York. The organization of Col. Pettigrew's command, we learn from a private source, was expected to have been completed on Saturday last, when it would immediately start for Richmond.--Col. Pettigrew's command, we learn from a private source, was expected to have been completed on Saturday last, when it would immediately start for Richmond.--Baltimore American. The above is partly true, and Adjutant Barker is now in Montgomery making the final arrangements for the organization. Instead, however, of being a Regiment of Mounted Riflemen, it is to be a Rifle Regiment, in which the men are to combine the accuracy of American sharp-shooters with the gymnastic vigor and skill of the Zouaves. A portion have already been drilled as artillerists, so that they may make use of the rifled field pieces of which our enemies are laying in s

eive, nearly by every mail, letters of sympathy, and many of them from strangers. I hope that it will not be long before something will occur to give me a chance of being relieved from my present position. Thanking you for your kind remembrance of me, I am, truly yours. Robert Anderson.To-- --, Esq., Baltimore. Major Anderson's reply to the Charleston authorities. The Wilmington (N. C.) Herald says: After Major Anderson removed to Fort Sumter, Gov. Pickens sent Col Pettigrew and Major Capers down to him with a dispatch.--The Courier says his reply had not transpired, but we learn that a gentleman who arrived here yesterday from Charleston says that Major Anderson received the above-named gentlemen courteously, and stated to them that he had acted upon his own responsibility, and for security — that he deprecated the necessity for it, and hoped no attack would be made upon him — that he should hate to turn his guns upon his countrymen, but, unless commanded by
