Colonel Maury's paper is as follows: the immortal Twenty-Fourth—The Yankee General Hancock said that the Fifth North Carolina and the Twenty-fourth Virginia, for their conduct in battle before Williamsburg, ought to have this word inscribed upon their successful repulse, at the close of the day, of an attack made by two of General Early's Regiments—the Twenty-fourth Virginia and the Fifth North Carolina—upon Hancock's position on our extreme left. The assault was badly arranged, not supported, and failed in consequence, for but two of the regiments of D. H. Hill's entire division came into close action, and they alone attempted what it was intended the whole division should undertake, whereby Hancock was enabled to achieve a success. Under the circumstances it was of but little credit to him, as being almost a matter of course, yet it was extravagantly magnified (as if it were some great thing for te<

Our orderly sergeant, a Frenchman of many accomplishments, is said to have called on the widow Hancock, in Dinwiddie county, and, on taking his leave, also took her gray cat, and his mess ate her in a stew, smothered in garlic, the next day. They say so; I don't know. A Frenchman has the reputation of eating anything. Zzzgeneral Hampton Pre General Kautz, with his cavalry, to the Prince George Courthouse road. Next, General Humphries ordered Colonel Smith, of the Second Division, Second Corps, to send a strong brigade to the Prince George Courthouse road.

or on the staff of Major-General Braxton Bragg. He was present on the field at the battles of Murfreesboro, Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge, in the second of which it became his melancholy duty to amputate the thigh of the gallant Major-General Hood. He accompanied General Bragg, after the retirement of that distinguished officer from the Army of Tennessee to Richmond, where he continued his duties as Medical-Inspector during the summer of 1864, and by request of the Surgeon in charge, Dr. Hancock, and the attending Surgeons, Drs. Cabell, Hoyt, Thom and Wellford, he performed a large part of the capital operations at the immense hospital after the battle of Rapidan, Spotsylvania Courthouse and Cold Harbor. He subsequently accompanied General Bragg to North Carolina as Medical-Director of that department, and was present on the field at the battle of Averysboro, and also that of Bentonville, where a mere handful of Confederates under General J.

At Williamsburg on the 5th of May, 1862, he led the Twenty-fourth Virginia and Fifth North Carolina Regiments of his brigade in an assault upon a six-gun battery and redoubt, defended by the brigade of General Hancock, and was badly wounded in the charge. The movement was so bravely made that it won from the chivalrous Hancock the compliment which President Davis quotes in his history of the Confederacy: That the Twenty-fourth Virginia and Fifth North Carolina Regiments should have the word immortal inscribed upon their banners. He reported for duty at Malvern Hill before he was well of his wound, and made his mark at Cedar Run, Groveton, and Manassas on Jackson's northern march to Sharpsburg.
