ere killed and wounded. After the Maryland campaign Evans' brigade was ordered to North Carolina, where, on the 14th of December—the day after the battle of Fredericksburg, in which the Sixth and Twelfth were engaged— the Seventeenth regiment fought in the battle of Kinston. Rebellion Records, Series 1, Vol. XVIII, p. 112. I can find no report of its losses. From North Carolina the brigade was sent to reinforce Vicksburg, and reported to General Joseph E. Johnston at Jackson on the 3d June, Johnston's Narrative, p. 190. but did not reach Vicksburg. It was engaged in some skirmishing at Jackson, but nothing more. From Mississippi the brigade was ordered to the Isle of Hope, near Savannah, where it was encamped during the winter of 1863-‘64. From Savannah this regiment was sent to Charleston, where it furnished its details for the garrison at Fort Sumter, and thence it rejoined the Army of Northern Virginia in the spring of 1864 under the command of General W. S. Walker. <

o Ohio would have insured its invasion by any United States force required to hold it. Just across the Ohio river was a vast extent of densely populated territory, all loyal to the Union and connected by a network of railroads, from which an army could be moved into that section at any time. I had left Grafton but a day or so before that place was occupied by several thousand United States troops, and in about a week after my arrival at Philippi my command there was surprised at 4 A. M., June 3d. General Morris reported to General McClellan, June 7th, the capture at this place of a large amount of camp equipage, provisions, arms, wagons, horses and medical stores. I had no provisions, wagons, horses (except the cavalry not captured), nor medical stores. If these were captured they were taken from citizens and not from my command. One cavalry company had tents, and there were a few boxes of rusty flint-lock guns and two kegs of powder, that was all, General Morris also reports

t, our adjutant, and I, had gone out and were looking for a suitable place, when the enemy's gunboats in Stono river came up as far as Grimball's House and opened fire on Secessionville. We heard the shelling and returned to camp. The battalion marched across the bridge by Clark's House, and went into camp on the road leading from the Presbyterian church towards Lawton's plantation, where that road crosses a marsh and some low grounds, and about three hundred yards inside of the lines. June 3d, 1862.—This day opened with a fight between the pickets of our army, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Ellison Capers, of Colonel Stevens' regiment, and the enemy. Capers made the attack after the pickets of the enemy had opened fire on him. His force consisted of the Charleston battalion and the Beauregard Light Infantry, Captain White, of the Eutaw battalion. A captain and about eighteen or twenty men of the enemy were captured. Four of Captain White's men were wounded, and a few of the

sney, found Grant almost in sight of the city, upon the very ground which McClellan had held on the banks of the Chickahominy two years before. Four times he had changed the line of operation chosen in obedience to Lincoln's strong desire, on which he had declared his intention to fight it out all the summer. Four times he had recoiled from the attempt to force his way direct to the rebel capital, for his indomitable and watchful adversary ever barred the way. Once more, on the morning of June 3d, he flung his masses fiercely against the line held by Lee, which ran across the very field of battle where that General had won his first triumph over McClellan. The result was so fearful and useless a slaughter that, according to the chief Union historian, when later in the day orders were issued to renew the assault, the whole army correctly appreciating what the inevitable result must be, silently disobeyed. Again, the same writer says: The most eulogistic biographer of the great Fe
