Rice, of whom Captain Shumaker speaks in the following emphatic language; "He had been working his piece beautifully for two hours, and too much praise cannot be given him for the deliberate manner with which he loaded and fired his piece; landing and firing by detail for an hour, in the midst of a storm of shot and shell from the enemy, until he was stricken to the earth, severely wounded; of Capt. Deshler, who directed a rapid fire with marked effect; and of Sarah Graves, who fell mortally wounded in the Cool and gallant discharge of his duty. Peculiarly distinguished among the advanced guard, where all were distinguished, must be recorded the names of Lieut, Gibson, of the Third Arkansas regiment--the officer in immediate command; of private Slayton, of the 31st Virginia regiment, who was severely wounded; and of private J. W. Brown, of Co. 1st Georgia regiment, who, upon hearing the order to fall back, exclaimed; "I will give them one more shot before

Scott; the 23d Virginia regiment, Lieutenant Lieutenant Colonel Taliaferro, and Major Rogers's battalion, commanded, in his absence from sickness, by senior Captain John C. Higginbotham. This brigade was reduced in the course of the action by the detachmns constituting the well known field batteries of How and of Loomis.

Taliaferro himself, we should doubtless have had inflicted upon us a very severe loss indeed, This fire was returned with great energy, and, as the result has proved, with signal effect, by the guns of Captain Shumaker and Captain Rice, and by one piece detached from Captain Anderson's battery and placed upon the hill occupied by Lieut. Col. Jackson. Lieut. Massie, its proper chief, being quite indisposed, although he maintained his position near his piece, it was placed undportunity, coveted by all, of attracting special notice, in addition to the name of Colonel Johnson, I would mention those of Captain Shumaker, who was wounded at his battery, and to whom I have already had repeated occasion to refer; of Captain William H.

e our left wing. This detachment marched in gallant style, under the enemy's fire, to the position as signed it in line. The troops on this wing which, from the character of the ground were widely disparted, fell under the general command of Colonel Rust, of the 3d Arkansas regiment, and consisted of his own command, the 31st Virginia volunteers, Lieutenant Colonel Jackson, and the battalion of Lieutenant Colonel Hansborough, commanded, in his absence on account of sickness, by senior Captain J. A. Robertson. Upon this flank also two field-pieces had already been placed in battery enfilading the Huntersville road, which runs at right angles, if, indeed, those terms can be applied to serpentine mountain roads, from the turnpike. These guns were under the immediate charge of Captain P. B. Anderson, and the zeal, skill, and determination of that officer, leave no doubt that they would have done great execution had the enemy ventured to call them into action. Captain Shumaker's ba

This number was subsequently increased by two other pieces, placed on the opposite side of the turnpike, one near it and the other upon the rise of the hill, This fire (of round shot, spherical case, shell, end occasionally upon our left wing, of canister,) was continued with extraordinary rabidity, and without intermission, for upwards of four hours, the eight guns constituting the well known field batteries of How and of Loomis. The bill occupied by Col Taliaferro's brigade, invitingly expected to all of these batteries, received the greater share of their attention, and, but for the protection afforded by the ditch and embankment running along the brow, and constructed under the immediate supervision of Col. Taliaferro himself, we should doubtless have had inflicted upon us a very severe loss indeed, This fire was returned with great energy, and, as the result has proved, with signal effect, by the guns of C

The two brigades in this camp, weakened by the absence of the several corps on detached service (he 5th having been reduced from this cause and from sickness to scarce one-third of its legitimate number) I posted in the following order: The 1st Georgia regiment upon our extreme right, under command of Major Thomoson, Colonel Ramsey (he field officer of the day) having been cut off from us by the enemy while discharging his duty upon the road; next to it was placed the 12th Georgia regiment--both of these regiments designed for the immediate command of Colonel Johnson. At an early moment I threw out what few mounted men were available under Capt. Sterrett, of the Churchville Cavalry, to different points along the valley upon our right for the purpose of bringing as timely notice of an approach by th
