e were, when each man could pour seven shots into them so rapidly. This is the first instance during the war, I think, where the proportion of killed was greater than the wounded. As far as reports have come in, it is, at least, three killed to one wounded, and this fact is owing to the terrible execution of our rifles. We remain here a short time to gather up captured property, arms, etc., and then expect to be ordered back to Hickman. Captain S. Wells, Lieutenant Tubbs, and Lieutenant W. B.

old the negro-girl attached to Duncan's company that a certain negro (calling him by name) of her master was to go beyond the river that night, with papers, to the Northern army. The intelligence was conveyed to the members of Duncan's company, who at first disregarded the report, attaching no importance to it. But the report was emphasized by the two negroes (the girl of Capt. West and the negro of the company) visiting the camp together and repeating it, whereupon eight men (among them W. B. Smith) were sent towards the river by Captain Duncan, (Duncan going himself,) in search of the negro. These men had proceeded about four and a half miles, when they met a man driving cattle, who informed them of the direction in which he had seen the negro travelling. The men hastened on to within half a mile below Stagal's Ferry, reaching there at about seven o'clock P. M. They saw the negro in a canoe, about half-way across the river. They ca led to him to stop, but he went on, when four o
on, on the road from Milburn to Columbus, and there again learned that Camp Beauregard was broken up, and that the enemy had retired within his intrenchments at Columbus. And, soon after, I learned that he had destroyed the railroad bridge across the Obion, which if true, must be attributed to a fear that it was my intention to seize and control the railroad in the rear of Columbus. Sending forward Captain Wemple with his company of the Fourth cavalry to Mayfield, I communicated with General Smith, commanding the columns that marched from Paducah, placing him in possession of a dispatch from Brig.-Gen. Grant, and giving him information of the report that Camp Beauregard had been abandoned. Capt. Wemple, with his command, joined me the next day. On the next day our whole force advanced north eight miles to Lovelaceville, throwing forward strong pickets to guard the approach from Columbus by Hayworth's bridge. On the eighteenth my command was marched in two columns, by differ

ess at Charleston and followed that occupation until 1885, when he was appointed auditor of Berkeley county for four years. Subsequently he filled an unexpired term as clerk of the court, and held the same office four years by election. In 1895-97 he held the office of United States commissioner, and since then he has been engaged in planting. He was a gallant and efficient soldier, and has served with notable ability in the various official positions to which he has been called. Captain W. B. Smith, a survivor of the Palmetto sharpshooters, and now an enterprising manufacturer of York county, was born in that county in 1840. His father was Myles Smith, a farmer, who held the rank of major in the State militia, the son of John Smith. a native of Virginia, who settled at Columbia when it was a village, and, engaging in business as a hatter, became a wealthy landholder and planter. He was reared on his father's plantation, and after receiving a good education found employment as
