als. It was a choice command, fearlessly led, and did the work assigned it, but with the loss of the noble leader and many of his followers. The charge saved Adams' brigade, which was retired, mounted and moved over Baker's creek. Griffith's Arkansas regiment was thrown into the woods near the crossing, thus permitting the two companies to sweep over the bridge when gradually pressed back by the superior numbers engaging them, and punishing the Federals for following too closely. On the 5th the cavalry was steadily pushed back to Jackson, where it arrived about dark, passing out on the road towards Canton, to enable General Loring's infantry division to cross Pearl river from Canton, moving towards Morton on the Jackson and Meridian railroad; Ferguson's brigade, moving on the road from Clinton towards Madison station, on the railroad from Jackson to Canton, to more completely cover Loring's march. A regiment was sent to keep in front of the enemy, in case he moved towards Brand

History of Lane's North Carolina brigade. By Brigadier-General James H. Lane. No. 6. Summer campaign of 1862--Harper's Ferry, September 14, 15. The second day after the engagement at Ox Hill, we marched through Leesburg, crossed the Potomac into Maryland on the 5th, and moved in the direction of Frederick City, where we remained several days. Then recrossed the Potomac at Williamsport and marched on Harper's Ferry through Martinsburg. The evening of the 14th we advanced down the Winchester and Harper's Ferry railroad. The Seventh regiment was in advance, and its skirmishers, commanded by Captain Knox, succeeded in driving the enemy's sharpshooters from a high position overlooking the railroad. The remainder of the brigade reached this position after midnight, and there slept upon their arms until day, when every one was in readiness and awaited the orders to advance. After a short but rapid and well-directed fire from our batteries, the enemy displayed several white flag

de, the First Mississippi partisans and Second Mississippi cavalry, which were on outpost duty, to join me at Salem; but hearing on the evening of the 4th that the enemy intended to disturb the election which was to be held in Holly Springs on the 5th, I left the new regiment, commanded by Colonel George, which was not fully organized, to picket the river, and moved at daylight the next morning with the other troops under my immediate command, consisting of the Seventh Tennessee, Third Mississinemy on anything like equal terms, and their conduct gives evidence of what might be expected if the remainder of the command was as well equipped. A list of the killed and wounded in the different engagements, and the reports of the subordinate commanders, including Colonel Richardson's report of the affair near New Albany on the 5th, are herewith forwarded. I have the honor to remain, Colonel, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, James R. Chalmers, Brigadier-General Commanding.

pected. It was then currently reported that the waiting had been for Longstreet, and as he had not moved out in time for the army to get well away before dawn, it was necessary to return. Sumner, with 30,000 men, had also come up early on the 5th, but had sat quietly down across the Yorktown road, just out of sight and range. Although in command — for McClellan seems to have considered that the position for the general-in-chief on a pursuit was fifteen miles in rear, and had remained belo, his chief object on finding the foe seems to have been to let him well alone. Not so Hancock, one of his subordinates, who was made of sterner stuff, and who had other views of the duties of pursuers of a flying foe; for on the morning of the 5th, between 10 and 11 o'clock, leaving Sumner at Whittaker's, full half a mile or more from the nearest Confederate line, he takes his own brigade and part of Naglee's--five regiments — and ten guns, in all probably over 4,000 men, and learning that

will quote from memoranda prepared some time ago, for a forthcoming Memoir of Leonidas Polk. It was claimed by some that the failure to attack the enemy on the 5th, the day appointed, was due to the delay of General Polk in getting his command up to the point of concentration — Mickey's House. We find no mention of it in any by circumstances incident to the position and not by any fault of theirs or of their commander. It was, therefore, unable to leave Purdy before the morning of the 5th, and owing to the condition of the roads did not effect a junction with the command of General Polk till 4 that afternoon. Consequently, up to that time, General Peral Beauregard, in his official report, tells the story when he says: It was expected we should be able to reach the enemy's lines in time to attack him on the 5th instant. The men, however, were for the most part unused to marching, the roads narrow, and traversing a densely wooded country became almost impassable after a severe
