e past four o'clock in the morning, ended the battle of Wauhatchie. The National loss in this engagement was 416. The entire loss since crossing the Tennessee, 437; of whom 76 were killed, 339 wounded, and 22 were missing. Among the killed was Captain Geary, son of the General. General Green and Colonel Underwood were severely wounded. An amusing incident of this night's battle is related. When it began, about two hundred mules, frightened: by the noise, dashed into the ranks of Wade Hampton's Legion, and produced a great panic. The Confederates. supposed it to be a charge of Hooker's cavalry, and fell back at first in some confusion. The incident inspired a mock-heroic poem, of six stanzas, in imitation of Tennyson's Charge of the six hundred at Balaklava (see note on page 633, volume II.), two verses of which were as follows:-- Forward, the mule brigade! Was there a mule dismayed? Not when the long ears felt All their ropes sundered. Theirs not to make reply-- Theirs

back, the guns were recaptured, and a thousand of their men were made prisoners. Others, in their flight, to the number of two hundred, rushed into Crawford's lines, and were captured. Had that officer been ordered to advance at that moment, the capture or dispersion of Heth's whole force might have been the result. Ayres was on the way, but night fell, and he halted before reaching Hancock, who, meanwhile, had been sorely pressed on his left and rear by five brigades of cavalry under Wade Hampton. Gregg fought them gallantly, and Hancock sent him all the infantry supports he could spare. The conflict continued until after dark, and the Confederates had gained no ground, when the struggle known as the battle of the Boydton road ended. In these encounters Hancock lost about fifteen hundred men, and his antagonist at least an equal number. Uncertain whether the forces of Ayres and Crawford Army Cabin. this shows the form of some of the better class of Army cabins. They were

. It shall be done to-morrow, provided the day be calm. Sack and Destruction of the City of Columbia, page 18. That promise was faithfully kept, and had Wade Hampton, the commander of the rear-guard of the Confederates, who lingered in the town until ten o'clock that morning, been as careful of the interests of the citizenserable pens I visited yesterday, on the other side of the river, sought this means of retaliation. The conduct of the Confederate troops, and especially of Wade Hampton, the commander, after the mayor and some of the council had gone out to surrender the city, had exasperated the National soldiers, and according to the laws an witness against the Nationals, who professes to have been an eye-witness of the destruction of Columbia, that the Confederate soldiery, under the direction of Wade Hampton, continued to fight the Nationals in the streets of the city after it had been surrendered by competent authority. That writer gives a terrible picture of the

must have produced an almost absolute peeling of the inhabitants in the track of that host, which devoured every thing in its way over a path of more than forty miles in width. And so universal was the hostility of the inhabitants, incited by Wade Hampton and his fellow-traitors of South Carolina, that the restrictive conditions concerning devastation were nowhere applicable. Dr. J. F. G. Mittag, of Lancasterville, South Carolina, relates the following circumstance. When Sherman was approacht wing of the army crossed the Pedee at Cheraw, and the left, with the cavalry, at Sneedsboroa, on the State line. They marched in parallel lines, within easy supporting distance, Kilpatrick well on the left of all, and skirmishing some with Wade Hampton's cavalry, which was covering the rear of Hardee's retreating army, burning the bridges behind them. The weather was inclement, but the Nationals made good time, and on the 11th of March Sherman's whole force was concentrated at Fayetteville,

er hour, with Ayres's division in the advance, Griffin's following, and Crawford's in the rear. The Second and Third divisions of the Second Corps (Mott's and Smyth's) were on the Vaughan road, with instructions to fall upon the right of the Confederate works on Hatcher's Run, while the Fifth should move around the flank and strike the rear of the enemy. The cavalry, meanwhile, had pushed on from Reams's Station toward Dinwiddie Court-House, and on Rowanty Creek encountered a portion of Wade Hampton's cavalry, dismounted and intrenched. After a spirited skirmish, the bridge over the Creek, and the works, were carried, and twenty-two of the garrison were made prisoners. Some of the cavalry pressed on to the Court-House and scouted in various directions; and that night the whole cavalry force bivouacked on Rowanty Creek. while Gregg was making these movements, the Second and Fifth Corps were executing their part of the plan. The Confederates were not in very heavy force, and the

lag of truce, and a safeguard from General Hardee, at Raleigh, Messrs. Swain and Graham proceeded in a special train, on the 12th, for Sherman's Headquarters. Wade Hampton, through whose lines they must pass, did all in his power to thwart the movement, but failed. The commissioners reached Sherman's quarters, where they passed erates should be deposited at Greensboroa. Grant, who was waiting at Raleigh, approved of the terms, when Johnston's army, excepting a body of cavalry, led by Wade Hampton, was surrendered, in number about twenty-five thousand This was, in round numbers, the sum of men surrendered and paroled. There were also 108 pieces of arime to resume their march to Washington City by the middle of May. We have observed that all of Johnston's army was surrendered excepting some cavalry under Wade Hampton. In a communication to General Kilpatrick, this leader signed his name Ned Wade Hampton.
