He was wounded while trying to rescue General Paine--the same fate that met all others who attempted it. Wouldn't you like to hear of Col. Lew. Benedict? He led a charge down on the left, and with his colorbearer reached the top of the parapet. Here the sergeant was killed by a shell, and the Colonel seized the color, when his regiment being forced back, he was compelled to retire, which he did without injury. The following is an extract of a letter from Adjutant S. B. Meech, of the Twenty-sixth Connecticut, written after the battle: I saw Colonel Benedict standing just in front of me, where I was wounded on the edge of the ravine, looking intently at the rebel works, while bullets and shells were flying about very thick.

Murdoch, before the New-York Legislature, on the second of February, 1865.] We laid him in his last and patriot rest; Dark Death but couched him on Fame's living breast.

The line was scarcely formed when the One Hundred and Sixty-first New York volunteers were attacked and driven in. The right being threatened, a portion o The behavior of officers and men was excellent. I beg leave particularly to call the attention of the commanding General to the conduct of Generals Emory and Dwight, which was admirable in all respects. I regret to report the loss of Colonel L. Benedict, One Hundred and Sixty-second New York volunteers, killed while leading his brigade, and of Captain Chapman, of my staff, who had both feet taken off by a round shot.
