It was, it is true, a small affair in comparison with the great battles which took place afterwards, but it did great credit to the First Nortvery efficient soldiers. But such were not the men who marched with Jackson, who fought at Chickamauga, who stormed the heights of Gettysburg, who charged with Hampton and Stuart, or who stood amidst Sumter's crumbling walls. The assembling of our armies was really the gathering of clans. The first two acts of the Confederat

Even when confessing one falsehood he deliberately coined another, and on the same page of his Memoirs said that the fire was accidental, when he knew, from the letter of General Stone, who commanded the Provost Guard in Colulsehood for the dishonorable purpose of shaking the faith of the people of South Carolina in their fellow-citizen, General Wade Hampton? His election to be Governor of that State by the votes of a larger majority of her people of every race than waidney Johnston, the disparagement of the military fame of General Grant, and the shameful and corrupt charge against General Hampton. I have prepared this examination and exposure only because the Senate of the United States has given to Sherman's

rginia, I proceeded on an expedition into Pennsylvania, with a cavalry force of eighteen hundred men and four pieces of horse artillery, under command of Brigadier-General Hampton and Colonels W. H. F. Lee and Jones. This force rendezvoused at Darksville at 12 M., and marched thence to the vicinity of Hedgesville, where it campedizens who met the officer were notified that the place would be occupied, and if any resistance were made the place would be shelled in three minutes. Brigadier-General Wade Hampton's command being in advance took possession of the place, and I appointed him Military Governor of the city. No incidents occurred during the night, dhe command and their behavior towards the inhabitants is worthy of the highest praise; a few individual cases only were exceptions in this particular. Brigadier-General Hampton and Colonels Lee, Jones, Wickham and Butler, and the officers and men under their command, are entitled to my lasting gratitude for their coolness in dan

Fortunately, General Hampton, who accompanied Ewell with his cavalry brigade, carried with him a battery of horseartillery, and did good service in relieving the difficulties of General Etitled to much consideration, has often expressed the opinion that the opportunity was offered for this blow near Haw's shop, where the Confederate cavalry, under Hampton and Fitz. Lee, met General Sheridan, sustained heavily by the Federal infantry. However that may be, Grant found Lee always in his front whenever and wherever he resolution to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer seeming now to be sicklied o'er by the pale cast of thought. On that day Sheridan was defeated by Hampton, whose force consisted of his own and Fitz. Lee's divisions, at Trevillian's depot.

said to be a gallant, meritorious officer. Previous to this battle being fought General R. E. Lee had arrived from Petersburg; but he did not take command, and was simply a looker-on. I should have stated that on the day previous (August 15th), General W. H. F. Lee's cavalry, on the Charles City road, being hard pressed, I sent to his assistance Gary's cavalry brigade, and the Texas infantry brigade, and, with their assistance, he drove the enemy back and re-established his position. Hampton, who some days before had started for the Valley to join Early, returned and took position on the Charles City road on my extreme left on the 16th, General Lee having telegraphed him at Gordonsville to return to my assistance. On the next day (the 17th) the enemy sent a request, by flag of truce, that hostilities should cease for a few hours, that they might gather up and bury their dead near our lines. The application was signed and made in the name of Hancock, though I ascertained a day
