It should be stated that General Hill, seeing the waste of blood in the front attack, when Jackson's advance would soon make the position untenable, sent this brigade only upon a second order from General Lee, confirmed by Mr. Davis. Meantime, the Twenty-second North Carolina had come suddenly upon a regiment of the enemy just across the r had placed Sykes' regulars, the flower of his corps, and they were commanded by a persistent fighter. D. H. Hill, on the extreme Confederate left, and General Jackson, between him and A. P. Hill, moved their divisions against these lines.

t was started to General Hill, but never reached him. By whom it was lost will probably never be known. General Hill, in a letter to the editors of Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, (Vol. II, p. 570, note), says: I went into Maryland under Jackson's command. I was under his command when Lee's order was issued. It was proper that I should receive that order through Jackson, and not through Lee. I have now before me the order received from Jackson. My adjutant-general made affidavit twenceived at our office from General Lee. But an order from Lee's office, directed to me, was lost and fell into McClellan's hands. Did the courier lose it? Did Lee's own staff officers lose it? I do not know. The copy that reached Hill was in Jackson's own handwriting So important did that officer consider the order that he did not trust his adjutant to copy it, but made the copy himself. With like care, General Hill preserved the order then, and preserved it until his death. Who lost the

On the 18th, the Federals, following Early's retirement, through Snicker's gap, made a dash at Parker's ford. On the 19th, Col. W. A. Owens was killed in a skirmish. Rodes' division, however, drove the Federal advance back. In this skirmish, Col. Joseph H. Wood, commanding the Fourth regiment, was killed. On the 20th, Ramseur's division, while moving, was assailed in flank by Averell, then advancing in line of battle. The division was thrown into much confusion and hastily fell back. Jackson's cavalry, however, made a vigorous charge, and Ramseur rallied his men in time to prevent Averell from reaching Winchester. General Lewis was wounded in this affair. At the battle of Kernstown, it fell to Rodes' lot to follow the enemy's flight for some miles, but most of the North Carolinians had little fighting there. The morning of the 19th of September found General Early's forces much divided. Rodes was at Stephenson's depot, Breckinridge and Gordon at Bunker Hill, and Ramseur

While sick he received his commission as brigadier-general, issued in June, 1863. On returning to duty he was assigned to service in western North Carolina, in which region he was captured January 14, 1864, at Cosby creek, which ended his military career. He experienced the life of the prison camps at Nashville, Louisville, Camp Chase and Fort Delaware. While at the latter place he was appointed to act with General Beale in buying clothin
