gainst small parties of the enemy, and at the same time carry out other views and wishes of General Johnston, which he had communicated to me, I moved my command on Monday from Hanover Courthouse to Srrested it. The march was continued without interruption to Ashland, where I was ordered by General Johnston to report to Major-General Hill. All my subsequent movements having been under orders receps, marching left in front, and throwing out a platoon of Company G as flankers, under Captain George B. Johnston, to my right, the supposed direction of the enemy, while the other was thrown to my leht to observe the enemy and check his advance up a hollow not far from the artillery, while Captain Johnston, with a part of his company, was sent to the left to reconnoitre. Company B, under Captainve in rear of their batteries, it was deemed advisable to retire. I was not able to recall Captain Johnston from the left, and was forced to leave the dead and badly wounded on the field, together wi

o reports that at Cedar Run he conducted himself gallantly. After we went into winter-quarters at Moss Neck, Captain George B. Johnston, on my recommendation, was appointed Assistant Adjutant-General of our brigade, but remained with us only a short time on account of ill health. He tendered his resignation July 6th, 1863, and died soon after of consumption. Captain Johnston was a highly cultivated, intelligent, kind-hearted, Christian gentleman, a thorough rebel, and a bold and most efficiexpect to see me somewhere in the old 4th, if it be in the ranks with a musket on my shoulder. Yours most truly, Geo. B. Johnston. The next and last assistant Adjutant-General was Captain E. J. Hale, Jr., of Fayettville, N. C. He entered theade friends wherever he went. He was a great pet at our Headquarters, especially with my first Adjutant-General, Captain G. B. Johnston. My last aid was Captain Everard B. Meade, of Richmond, Va., who first volunteered and afterwards enlisted for

enant-Colonel of the First North Carolina Volunteers, stationed at Camp Fayetteville, near Yorktown. On reaching Wilmington I found a regiment amply making up in patriotic ardor what it lacked in military knowledge. The camp was full of this Dixie song printed on slips of paper, and everybody in the regiment was singing it. You will perceive that it gives the home or local names of all of the companies as well as the names of the captains and field officers. It was written by Lieutenant George B. Johnston, of Company G., afterwards Captain of the same company, and subsequently, for a short time one of my adjutants. He was a highly-educated gentleman, a first-honor man at Chapel Hill, a devout Christian, and one of the most delightfully social men I ever met. I could tell of deeds of daring by him, though he was rapidly dying with consumption, which evinced him one of the most gallant young men in the whole of General Lee's Army. headquarters first regiment N.

amped near Orange Court House, and being an Episcopalian, he wore his surplice, &c. He had a very large congregation, and it is said, that after the services, many of the men were wondering amongst themselves What sort of man is that, and it was decided, after considerable speculation, that he was a Chinese, because he looked like the pictures in their geographies. * * * * [iv.] Liberty Mills, Orange county, Va., April 12, 1864. * * * I know you will regret to hear that Captain G. B. Johnston, See ante, pages 52-124. my truly good and noble friend, is dead. I can't help sympathizing with his bereaved and lovely wife, who almost idolized him. It is some comfort to know that he has gone to heaven and is at rest. He was aware for months that he had not long to live; used to speak of his fast-approaching death with perfect composure, and wonder if in meeting friends in heaven he would be allowed to experience the same strong feelings of attachment for them that he had al
