int, sometimes at another, charging Kearny's left first and Couch's right . . . and afterward throwing themselves upon the left of Couch's division. But here, also, after nearly reaching the Federal position, they are repulsed. The conflict is carried on with great fierceness on both sides, and for a moment it seems as if the Confederates are at last to penetrate the very center of their adversaries and of the formidable artillery, which was but now dealing destruction in their ranks. But Sumner, who commands on the right, detaches Sickles' and Meagher's brigades successively to Couch's assistance. During this time, Whiting on the left and Huger on the right suffer Hill's soldiers to become exhausted without supporting them. .... At 7 o'clock, Hill reorganized the debris of his troops in the woods . . . his tenacity and the courage of his soldiers have only had the effect of causing him to sustain heavy loss.

Crowning every available prominence with batteries to sweep the roads, and also posting batteries or sections of batteries between his brigades, he, with Sykes' division of regulars, Morell's and McCall's divisions, and later with Slocum's division sent to reinforce him, awaited the attack of the divisions of Jackson, A.

As Hill's men moved in, Magruder also ordered an advance of his troops, but they were delayed and did not get into close action until Hill's division had been hurled back. The Comte de Paris, who was on General McClellan's staff and had excellent opportunities for seeing all that was going on, gives this account of the charge of Hill's Carolinians, Georgians and Alabamians: Hill advanced alone against the Federal position. . ..

Ripley's arrival brought two more North Carolina regiments into the battle—the First, Colonel Stokes, and the Third, Colonel Meares.

Two of Ripley's regiments, the First North Carolina and the Forty-fourth Georgia, united with Pender on the right, and the Third North Carolina and Forty-eighth GeRipley's regiments, the First North Carolina and the Forty-fourth Georgia, united with Pender on the right, and the Third North Carolina and Forty-eighth Georgia moved to a position in front of the enemy.

These were among the State's most gifted and gallant sons. The losses among the company officers were also heavy. During the progress of this great campaign, there was little fighting in North Carolina, for most of her troops were in Virginia, and the Federals around New Bern did not show much further activity. Some skirmishing occurred around Gatesville, Trenton, Young's crossroads, Pollocksville and Clinton. On the 5th of June, there was a collision of an hour's duration between the Twenty-fourth Massachusetts regiment, a few cavalrymen, and two pieces of artillery on the Federal side, and Col. G. B. Singeltary's Forty-fourth North Carolina regiment at Tranter's creek, near Washington. During this engagement Colonel Singeltary was killed.

ed in disorder. Reilly's battery, now attached to Whiting's division, was of much service to its commander during this engagement. On June 29th, General Lee directed Col. L. S. Baker, of the First North Carolina cavalry, to move down the Charles City road, and, by a bold reconnoissance, find whether the enemy had formed a connecting line with the Federal gunboats on the river. Colonel Baker moved promptly, but found that the enemy had a heavy cavalry force in front of his infantry. Closthe field a few moments after Baker had retired, and said to Captain Ruffin, who had been captured, that the bold charge had won his admiration. By June 30th, McClellan's retreating forces had reached the intersection of the Long Bridge and Charles City roads, just north of Malvern hill. There Longstreet, supported only by the division of A. P. Hill, attacked the position held by the divisions of McCall and Kearny, reinforced by the divisions of Sedgwick and Hooker and a brigade of Slocum.

o the crude hospitals in the rear, wore a North Carolina uniform. Every fifth bullet that helped to raise the Union casualties to 15,849 was from a North Carolina musket. The first of these desperate encounters was at Mechanicsville and Beaver Dam. In spite of a constantly erroneous statement of numbers, this engagement was between four brigades (not counting brigades present, but not materially engaged) of Fitz John Porter, and five brigades of A. P. Hill, assisted just before dusk by Ripley's brigade of D. H. Hill's division. Gregg's and Branch's brigades, of A. P. Hill's, took no part in the assault on the fortified lines, being otherwise engaged. The plan of the battle was for Jackson to strike the right flank of the Federal intrenchments, while A. P. Hill attacked in front. Jackson was, however, unavoidably delayed, and A. P. Hill, not waiting for his co-operation, attacked impetuously in front. Later in the war the troops on both sides learned to have great respect for

on. Lieutenant Cathey, of the Sixteenth regiment, describes the situation of the soldiers the night of the battle. He says: Our surroundings were deserts of solitary horror. The owls, night-hawks and foxes had fled in dismay; not even a snake or a frog could be heard to plunge into the lagoons which, crimsoned with the blood of men, lay motionless in our front. Nothing could be heard in the blackness of that night but the ghastly moans of the wounded and dying.
