was attacked in force. After putting Lieutenant Snow in command of that part of my brigade which was in Fort Gregg, Captain Hale and Lieutenant Meade, of my staff, Lieutenant Thomas M. Wiggins, of the Thirty-seventh North Carolina, and I, started for the Dam at a dignified quick-step, but the enemy's infantry fire soon made us double-quick, and then forced us to run. We reached the Dam in saftey, but were driven to the interior line, as stated in my official report. From the night of April 1st, to the evacuation of Petersburg, I was in a position to know something about the fighting on that part of the line, and I am satisfied that had General Lee lived to complete his work, he would have done justice to every brigade in Mahone's division, and would not have given to Harris's brigade either the exclusive or chief honor in the defence of Fort Gregg. My North Carolina brigade, of its own accord, petitioned that I, a Virginian, should be promoted and assigned as its brigade comm

General Harris referred by name to those who had written of the attack and defence of Gregg, as well as to the time of, and periodicals in which publications were made, and adds, I shall now state a few facts from memoranda made in writing in the latter part of the year 1865 ; and then gives information as to where his brigade was the night of April 1st, and how and under what orders he reported to me the next morning near the Newman house, on the plank road. Then says, As I approached I saw that the enemy had broken his (Wilcox) lines in heavy force, and was extending in line of battle across the open fields in direction of the Southside railroad. This quotation may make the impression, whether so designed or not, that the heavy body of the enemy seen by him on his arrival was the same that had broken our lines; if he so believed, he w

ters artillery corps, Army N. Va., Appomattox Courthouse, April 10, 1865. Colonel W. H. Taylor, A. A. General A. N. V.: Colonel,--I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of the artillery under my command from the 1st day of April to the present time. Much to my regret, it has to be made without possible access, as will be seen from the circumstances of the case, to special reports from those superior officers of this important arm, General A. L. Long, Chief of Artily, Second corps; General E. P. Alexander, Chief of Artillery, First corps, and General R. Lindsay Walker, Chief of Artillery, Third corps. Owing to the demonstrations of the enemy on the right of our lines, near Petersburg, on the morning of April 1st, I ordered seven guns of Poague's battalion, which had been held in reserve near Howlett's, to march to Petersburg, and on the night of the 1st, by direction of the Commanding General, I ordered down the remainder of the battalion, and at the s
