Hotel, are pleasant memories connected with this court. The enemy had a large force at Beaufort, North Carolina. The sailing south of a fleet from that place was the signal for a counter movement of the troops that had been concentrated around Wilmington. On the 4th of February orders came from General Beauregard for a removal of troops south. Savannah was thought to be more in danger than Charleston, and the regiments which had been taken from that vicinity were sent off first. On the 6th or 7th the Twenty-fifth got off on their return to Charleston. The court, of which I was a member, was not dissolved till the day after, and the officers of the tribunal were consequently left behind their respective regiments. Upon my return to James Island I found the regiment at Camp Glover and myself in command, Colonel Simonton having been again put in charge of a portion of the line of fortifications. During the month the army intended for operations along the coast of South Caroli

the left. It was now after midday. No more fighting was done on this front, save a few picket shots, and a feeble attempt of the enemy, late in the afternoon, to recapture the two guns still standing on the edge of the washout. This was a signal failure, and the repulse was largely assisted by the men of the First and Third North Carolina, who were in the washout. After dark the two guns were brought in, and the men returned to their respective companies. In the early morning of the 6th, Steuart's brigade was closed in to the left until its right rested on the pike, and Jones's brigade, now reorganized, was put in on its right and connected with Battle's left. The entire day was passed in quiet on this part of the line, only an occasional picket shot disturbing the repose of the men. Several vigorous attempts were made to force the line to the left, and as vigorously repulsed. The morning of the 7th revealed the enemy gone, and the day was spent by the men in congratula

nce to the miserable water with which they were generally supplied. On the 1st of July, some of the splendid Parrott guns of the Indiana regiment were taken across the river and put in battery there. They now maintained a constant fire upon our batteries every day, to which we occasionally replied, and at times with effect. They dismounted altogether three of our guns, splitting a rifled 32-pounder on the 5th of July; knocking off the trunnion of an 8-inch howitzer on the morning of the 6th, and permanently disabling a rifled 24-pounder on the evening of the same day. This artillery practice was probably equal, if not superior, to anything which has ever been accomplished of the kind, the distance being from one thousand to fourteen hundred yards. Our guns on the river side were now reduced to seven, and the lower batteries were screened with brush, while the upper guns only engaged the Parrotts. We had been obliged to mask most of our guns on the land side for some time bac

n the subject of getting ships in France, and as it affords conclusive proof of the hopes that were held out, and the expectations which were aroused at Richmond in consequence, I think a portion of its contents may properly be given here as a part of the facts necessary to a full understanding of that strange episode in the war which forms the chief subject of this chapter. The following is an extract from the above-mentioned despatch, dated Richmond, May 26th, 1863 My letter of the 6th instant, enclosed you a copy of a Secret Act of Congress relative to building ships abroad. Since that letter was written, I have received additional assurances, which I regard as satisfactory, that iron-plated ships-of-war can be constructed in France by French builders, and delivered to us ready for service upon the high seas or elsewhere. Heretofore I have brought to your attention an intimation which I deem not unworthy of notice, from the quarter whence it reached me, that one or more o

tting back to Mine Run. Mine Run was to that General, doubtless, a source of unpleasant reminiscences of the previous campaign. General Lee soon sent a message to Longstreet to make a night march and bring up his two divisions at daybreak on the 6th. He himself slept on the field, taking his headquarters a few hundred yards from the line of battle of the day. It was his intention to relieve Hill's two divisions with Longstreet's, and throw them farther to the left, to fill up a part of the ny of these troops should have become aware they were to be relieved by Longstreet. It is certain that owing to this impression, Wilcox's division, on the right, was not in condition to receive Hancock's attack at early dawn on the morning of the 6th, by which they were driven back in considerable confusion. In fact, some of the brigades of Wilcox's division came back in disorder, but sullenly and without panic, entirely across the plank road, where General Lee and the gallant Hill in person
