Dr. Foote in his sketches of North Carolina-claiming that to that State belongs the imn of the State. See Foote's Sketches of North Carolina. I have dwelt upon the eminently religying embers of opposition. Virginia and North Carolina were now called upon by Congress to hasten infantry of Tarleton's Legion and Bryan's North Carolina Loyalists were forced back, but Brown's reut just as he was prepared to advance into North Carolina he received the unwelcome news of our greaand campaign Evans' brigade was ordered to North Carolina, where, on the 14th of December—the day af can find no report of its losses. From North Carolina the brigade was sent to reinforce Vicksburer and battery Wagner, and in Virginia and North Carolina, and were engaged in twenty-two battles. nnessee, three Texas, three Alabama, three North Carolina, two Virginia and one Mississippi regiment[1 more...]

He had also the following cavalry companies: Captain Richard's Bath cavalry; Captain Sterritt's, Churchville; Captain Moorman's, Greenbrier; Captain McChesney's, Rockbridge; Captain Flournoy's, Ashland; Captain Smith's, Ashland. Colonel Edward Johnson's Twelfth Georgia and Colonel Stephen Lee's North Carolina were on the march to join him. Garnett had been, as I believe, influenced by the clamor against me, and instead of assigning me to the command of my regiment gave me the unimportant post of Beverley. June 25th, he wrote: I regard these two passes (Rich Mountain and Laurel Hill, at the western bases of which he had placed his force) as the gates to the northwestern territory. Laurel Hill was not a strong position. The hill could be crossed anywhere by infantry, and any position on th

h and 16th of May. The regiment, in these last-mentioned engagements, was commanded by Major John V. Glover, an officer in every way most worthy of the veterans of the Twenty-fifth. He furnished me with a list of the killed and wounded in these battles, and I here give them, with the hope that some survivor may put on record an account of these operations as well as of the various other battles in which the Twenty-fifth took part till it was captured at the surrender of Fort Fisher in North Carolina. There was a small remnant left, some of whom fell or were captured at New Town Creek, below Wilmington, and the rest laid down their arms at the surrender of General Joseph E. Johnston. Would that I could have shared the dangers and hardships which fell to the lot of my comrades till our flag was folded forever; but God willed it otherwise. The casualties at Swift Creek on the 9th of May, were as follows: Company A. Killed: Private W. L. Jeter. Wounded: Corporal J. H. Dickerson

ph Wheeler, Simon B. Buckner, and John B. Gordon. O the one hundred who were commissioned as major-generals in Confederate service, if my information be correct, only forty-five are now numbered among the living. Of four hundred and eighty who rose to the grade of brigadier-general, an inquiry, by no means partial, inclines me to the belief that there are not two hundred in life. With the exception of Thomas H. Watts, of Alabama, Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia, Zebulon B. Vance, of North Carolina, M. L. Bonham and A. G. Magrah, of South Carolina, Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee, and perhaps Richard Hawes, of Kentucky, all the war-governors of Confederate States are dead. We have not sufficient data to speak with certainty in regard to the senators and representatives in Confederate Congress, but we do know that the mortality among them has been commensurate with that which has occurred in other departments. Of those who tarry with us, not a few have almost reached the last span

d the loss of our copper mines in Tennessee, we were placed in a serious dilemma. We had no copper—no mines—and the blockade was very stringent —it was impossible to obtain it. In this emergency, in the spring of 1864, an officer was sent to North Carolina by my order and with the approval of the Chief of Ordnance, Colonel Gorgas, and directed to purchase, cut up, and ship to the Richmond arsenal all the turpentine and brandy stills he could find. He was very efficient and successful, and withte of mercury, made from mercury and nitric acid. The nitric acid was made at the arsenal of nitre and sulphuric acid—the nitre was made under the management of special officers from artificial nitre beds, and the sulphuric acid was made in North Carolina. There were no private manufactories, and these essential materials were all made during the war by the officers of the Confederate Government. Towards the close of the war our supply of mercury, of foreign importation, became exhausted.

him with the failure to attack. Very respectfully, Isham G. Harris. Memphis, Tenn., May 20, 1877. The communication referred to in the letter of Governor Harris was received by General Cheatham, and was read by Governor Harris, General Porter, Major Cummins, of Georgia, and Colonel John C. Burch; but General Cheatham, as he says, not having been in the habit of carrying a certificate of military character, attached no special value to the paper, and lost it during the campaign in North Carolina. The story of his military career is yet to be written, and this Commonwealth of Tennessee will have no brighter page in its history. I must write briefly of the close of the great chieftain's life. On the 23d of January, 1866, it was my privilege to receive him by Holy Baptism into the church. On the 15th of March following, I officiated at his marriage to Anna Robertson. Subsequently they both renewed the vows of Holy Baptism in the Rite of Confirmation. I gave them their fi
