n the fact that in the month and a half preceding the capture of Hatteras they had seized as prizes eight schooners, seven barks and one brig. Schedule in Rebellion Records, IV, 588. Accordingly, in August, 1861, the Federal government fitted out at Fortress Monroe a combined army and navy expedition for an attack on the two forts at Hatteras. The land forces, Rebellion Records, IV, 580 consisting of 800 infantry and 60 artillerymen, were commanded by Gen. B. F. Butler; the naval force, comprising the war vessels Wabash, Susquehanna, Pawnee, Monticello, Cumberland, Harriet Lane and transport ships, carrying in all 143 guns, was commanded by Flag-Ogiment, Col. W. F. Martin, and some detachments of the Tenth North Carolina artillery. The whole force on the first day of the engagement amounted to 580 Rebellion Records, IV, 574. men.

nce between official and private reports comes out in the Federal accounts of this battle. General Reno and his second in command. Colonel Hawkins, made such glowing reports of what they had done that their commander, General Burnside, issued a congratulatory order to their troops. In it he felicitates them upon the indomitable courage with which they attacked a large body of the enemy's best artillery, infantry and cavalry in their own chosen position, achieving a complete victory.—Rebellion Records, IX., 307. In a private letter to the same commander, the same General Hawkins says in reference to the same affair: Doubtless the unfortunate occurrence of the 19th has been brought to your notice. No one can regret the result more than myself. First, because of the loss of life; second, the object of the expedition not being accomplished after all the obstacles in our way had been removed. It seems that both parties were badly frightened. The enemy ran like quarter-horses towa

federate regiments, and especially for those that had been over as much territory as Branch's. Even McClellan, with his fondness for big numbers on the Confederate side, admits the regiments (Confederate) will not average over 700 men. Rebellion Records, XI, I, 271. Some of the regiments that opposed Branch that day reported fewer than 600. Porter does not state his numbers. General Webb says that Porter had about 12,000 men. Peninsula Campaign.

he movement of troops and wondered what it meant. In the morning, as they surveyed the bloody field of the day before, the enemy was gone. The volcano was silent. McClellan had, against the protest of some of his generals, continued his retreat to Harrison's landing. Both armies were terribly demoralized by this sanguinary conclusion to a protracted and exhausting campaign. On the day of Malvern Hill, General McClellan telegraphed to the adjutant-general, I need 50,000 men. Rebellion Records, I, XI, 3,281. Draper says: Not even in the awful night that followed this awful battle was rest allotted to the national army. In less than two hours after the roar of combat had ceased, orders were given to resume the retreat and march to Harrison's landing. At midnight the utterly exhausted soldiers were groping their staggering way along a road described as desperate, in all the confusion of a fleeing and routed army. Civil War in America, II, 414.

right! We have taken a battery. So have we, was the response, whereupon cheers rent the air. In addition to the 8 guns and 300 prisoners taken, 2,000 barrels of flour, 2,000 barrels of salted pork, 50,000 pounds of bacon, large supplies of ordnance, 2 trains of over 100 cars freighted with every article necessary for the outfit of a great army, large quantities of sutler's stores and other valuable supplies fell into Trimble's hands. Trimble's and Taliaferro's Official Reports, Rebellion Records, XII, 2. The next morning, the 27th, Trimble having reported the accomplishment of his mission and asked for aid in holding his captures, General Jackson sent the divisions of A. P. Hill and Taliaferro to join him at Manassas. Ewell, with Jackson's remaining division, was left at Bristoe with orders to fall back if attacked in force. As these two divisions moved up to Manassas, Branch's Carolinians had a sharp encounter with one of the Federal batteries and its supports, but soon dis

But these were no holiday soldiers; they struck long and hard, The losses in these two divisions in their attack on the center were 2,915. and in vastly superior force. So immovably, however, did the battle-tried North Carolinians and Alabamians, aided later by R. H. Anderson's division, Rebellion Records, Vol. XIX, p. 191, et seq. die in piles on the sunken road in which they fought, that they have made it immortal as Bloody Lane. Colonel Allan says: After a most gallant resistance, Hill was driven from the Bloody Lane. Anderson was involved in the defeat, and it looked as if the enemy was about to pierce the Confederate center. The noble efforts of many brave men prevented this result. The artillery was managed and served with a skill never surpassed. Fragments of commands

On the 13th, Foster had reached Southwest creek, not far from Kinston. The Confederates had destroyed the bridge, and Colonel Radcliffe's Sixty-allantry. Captain Taylor, of Foster's signal service, reported that the fire from the Eleventh was one of the severest musketry fires I have ever seen. Rebellion Records, XVIII, 62. Col. W. J. Martin, historian of the Eleventh regiment, says of the conduct of his regiment: Posted along the river bank, from which another regimon engagement, General Foster withdrew his troops and returned to New Berne. The total Federal losses during this expedition were 591 killed and wounded. Rebellion Records, XVIII, p. 60. The total Confederate loss, as reported by General Smith, was 339.
