o the 12th of May, 1864, inclusive. by Colonel S. D. Thruston, of the Third North Carolina. In the Southern Historical Papers for 1885, appears the report of General R. S. Ewell of the campaign from the Rapidan to Spotsylvania, in May, 1864, in which only a casual mention is made of the part taken therein by the brigade of General George H. Steuart. This is readily accounted for from the fact that the commander, together with almost the entire brigade, was captured on the morning of May 12th, and no one was left to make the report of the conflicts of those eight eventful days. Seeing for the first time General Ewell's report, the writer is constrained, even at this late day, to raise his voice in behalf of the noble and gallant men of the five regiments who acted so conspicuous a part and aided so materially in repelling the advance of the Federal army during the period covered by that report. In writing this, it is hoped no one will think or feel for a moment it is inten

enemy was pressed back into the narrow angle and held there on the defensive until midnight. The homely simplicity of General Lee in these scenes of the 6th and 12th of May, is in striking contrast with the theatrical tone of the famous order of Napoleon at Austerlitz, in which he said: Soldiers, I will keep myself at a distance fust discrimination, we may say that Gordon, Rodes and Ramseur were the heroes of this bloody day. General Lee recommended Gordon to be made Major-General of date 12th May. Rodes and Ramseur were destined, alas! in a few short months, to lay down their noble lives in the Valley of Virginia. There was no victor's chaplet more higf the battle of twenty hours at Spotsylvania. The question has been asked since the war why General Lee sent no telegram to Richmond concerning this battle of May 12th. He did send such a telegram to the War Department. Of its further history I know nothing. The captured angle, now useless to the enemy, was abandoned by t
