was killed under him, and he was shot in the side. Though wounded, he succeeded in capturing another horse, and continued in the battle until disabled by a wound in the shoulder. After the battle investigation showed that the enemies' bullet had entered the same hole in his coat that was made by the bullet which wounded him at Trevillian, 12th June, 1864. In this battle Captain Humphreys was wounded in the arm by a grape shot in charging a battery. He was carried to the hospital in Raleigh, N. C. The surgeon informed him that his arm must be amputated. He refused to submit to the operation from a morbid horror of going through life maimed, and died a short time before Lee's surrender. Cadet Humphreys was gifted with a fine intellect and a very natural quality to make for himself a successful career. Fate willed otherwise than that he should survive to fulfill the promise of his youth, and, after a term of service, brief but brilliant enough to satisfy the dream of any Paladin

to Stony Creek. A raiding column of Federal cavalry had the day before succeeded in cutting the road and tearing up the track after a hard fight with the small force defending it. On May 10th we reached Petersburg, and were at once hurried to Swift Creek, on the Richmond pike, where fighting had been going on for some time. We were now a part of Beauregard's army, and while he remained in Virginia continued under the command of this officer, whom history is fast pronouncing the most brilliantions on Avery's farm. At a run we succeeded in getting to the works before the enemy reached them. Through a storm of shot and shell we gained them, just in time to meet their charge and drive them back. In the afternoon we were hurried to Swift Creek, and with the Fifty-sixth North Carolina, under Major John W. Graham and Gracie's Brigade, drove back the Federal cavalry, which had attempted to cut our communications with Richmond, and enter Petersburg from that direction. We were then mar

Kirkland's Brigade, Hoke's Division, 1864-‘65. [from the Raleigh (N. C.) State, November 19, 1895.] During the fall and winter of 1864, Longstreet's corps, composed of the divisions of Field, Kershaw, and Hoke, defended the lines on the north side of James river, confronted by General B. F. Butler's Army of the James. Late in December Butler's army was sent on its expedition against Fort Fisher, N. C., and Hoke's Division was ordered to proceed to Wilmington to meet Butler. Kirkland's Brigade, the Seventeenth, Forty-second, and Sixty-sixth North Carolina troops, was moved first to Richmond. Having been recruited in winter quarters, the command made a fine appearance marching through the streets of the capital, with three brass bands and three drum and fife corps, its steady step and fine bearing eliciting cheers from the people. Officers and men felt the thrill which comes to the young soldier's heart from the pomp and circumstance of war and the approving smiles of wo

Martin's Brigade, of Hoke's Division, 1863-64. [from the Raleigh (N. C.) State, November 6, 1895.] In the fall of 1863, Brigadier-General James G. Martin, commanding the district of North Carolina, with headquarters at Kingston, was, by the Secretary of War, directed to organize a brigade from the troops in his district and assume the command for service in the field. This was composed of the Seventeenth North Carolina troops, Colonel William T. Martin; the Forty-second North Caroli sent a staff officer by a long detour through Chesterfield county to ride with a battle order to Whiting. I saw General Whiting have the order, and heard him read it. It plainly ordered him to advance from his position, which was then across Swift Creek, on the morning of May 17th, and move rapidly forward in the direction of the heaviest firing—along the Petersburg and Richmond road and towards Port Walthall Junction—the point where a road crosses the former, and leads to James river.
