e side was done by this brigade, and of which a Northern military writer describing this battle has said: In Southern histories and by Southern firesides the brave deeds that Southern soldiers had on this day achieved were to mark it as the bloody and glorious day of the 29th August. In this battle Colonel Dixon Barnes greatly distinguished himself. It was the Twelfth which drove out the New England brigade, which, under Grover, had penetrated our lines by a charge second only to that of Pickett's division at Gettysburg. In this battle the brigade had nine out of eleven field-officers killed and wounded, and 619 out of 1,500 men carried into action. Colonel Barnes and Major McCorkle were among the wounded. The Twelfth regiment lost 145—killed, 24, and wounded, 121. A few evenings after, at Ox Hill, its adjutant, W. C. Buchanan, was killed and eleven men wounded. In an address delivered by me before the survivors of the Twelfth regiment at Walhalla, S. C., on Gregg's brigade

the names of Lee and of Jackson will be forever honorably associated on the roll of the military worthies who have illustrated the public virtue and genius of the Anglo-Saxon race. And as future generations shall look back through the vista of American glory on the field, among the conspicuous forms that shall pass in view shall be those of our own gallant leaders. There, at the head of their dashing columns, shall float, as of yore, the plumes of Ashby and Stuart; and there shall be seen Pickett and Hill, with outstretched arms, pointing their lines onward to victory or to death. As regards, also, the great conflicts of arms that illustrated the skill of our leaders and tried the valor of our troops, we need harbor no apprehensions that the muse of history will not in coming years accord to them adequate justice. It may, indeed, be said of the men who followed Lee and Jackson in these heroic struggles, that the light of their camp fires has cast its reflection, and the thunder

f the Twenty-seventh, was also a most excellent officer. May 6th.—At a point between Goldsboro and Weldon, we heard of the landing of Butler and his army at Bermuda Hundreds. General Hagood received a dispatch directing him to report to General Pickett at Petersburg. Before the end of the day we heard that our three companies, with Graham, had met Butler's forces. Lieutenant-Colonel Dargan, with the part of the Twenty-first which first arrived at Petersburg, had been sent to Drewry's Btrain which bore us went into Petersburg and stopped in front of Jarratt's Hotel as the sun was setting. Both sides of the railroad were lined with men, women and children, who cheered us as we passed them. General Hagood went to report to General Pickett, and we were left to wait at the place where we disembarked. We had had nothing to eat since leaving Wilmington, except hardtack and raw bacon, and our appetites were unusually good even for soldiers. A genial gentleman came among the men

A. M. on the 1st of April: halting at Five Forks, it proceeded to throw up rifle-pits. The enemy attacked in the evening, first with cavalry, but finally bringing his infantry into action. Every front attack was successfully repulsed, but with Pickett's and Johnson's divisions of infantry and Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry, to oppose thirty-five thousand infantry and all of Sheridan's cavalry, the contest was too unequal. Early in the action Colonel Griggs (with the Thirty-eighth) was ordered from h and rear. Many of the men having expended all their ammunition, and the enemy rapidly closing all means of escape, the few men left were ordered to retire. After cutting through the lines of the enemy, Colonel Griggs reported in person to General Pickett the condition he was in. The general replied, He knew it, but could not help it—had done all he could. The regiment fought odds of about ten to one, in full view of the enemy, where each private could see for himself the odds against him. Y

f the American veteran. A large number of organizations on both sides in that battle came out of it with a loss of every other man who entered it killed or wounded. The assaults on the Confederate side were without parallel in the war. Longstreet's charge at Gettysburg was a single effort. But Longstreet's entire wing at Chickamauga assaulted time and again on far more difficult ground than the slopes of Cemetery Hill. There were three general assaults which each deserve to rank with Pickett's charge, while the Union defence of Horseshoe Ridge is without parallel in the war. So thin a line of heroes never before successfully withstood such tremendous assaults. Of the whole battle, from opening to close, there was never truer thing written than General Hindman's words in regard to his conflict with Granger's troops: I have never known Federal troops to fight so well. It is just to say, also, that I never saw Confederate soldiers fight better. And Kershaw, of Longstreet's Virg
