Duncan, is two other regiments, Nineteenth and Forty-eighth Mississippi, occupied Fort Whitworth, distant about 100 yards, and between that work and the Southside railroad.

Pryor, and Colonels Kemper and Jenkins (commanding brigades), and Colonels Corse, Winston, Funston and Sydenham Moore--the latter twice shot, once severely wounded. I desire also to mention the conspicuous courage and energy of Captain James Dearing, of the Lynchburg artillery, and his officers and men. His pieces were served under the severest fire, as his serious loss will attest. Captain Carter, of General Hill's division, also displayed great
