al was employed in strengthening our lines, extending from the river about a mile and a half above Fredericksburgh along the range of hills in the rear of the city to the Richmond Railroad. As these hills were commanded by the opposite heights, in possession of the enemy, earthworks were constructed upon their crest, at the most eligible positions for artillery. These positions were judiciously chosen and fortified under the direction of Brigadier-General Pendleton, Chief of Artillery, Colonel Cabell of McLaws's division, Colonel E. P. Alexander and Captain S. R. Johnson of the engineers. To prevent gunboats from ascending the river a battery, protected by intrenchments, was placed on the bank, about four miles below the city, in an excellent position, selected by my aid-de-camp, Major Talcott. The plain of Fredericksburgh is so completely commanded by the Stafford heights that no effectual opposition could be made to the construction of bridges or the passage of the river, without

d, consisting of the Eighth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-eighth, and Fifty-sixth regiments of Virginia volunteers, commanded respectively by Colonel Hunton, Major Cabell, Colonel Strange, Captain Wingfield, and Colonel Stuart, left the neighborhood of Hagerstown, Maryland, on the morning of the fourteenth September last, and reSeptember, 1862, these troops, composed of the Eighth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-eighth, and Fifty-sixth Virginia volunteers, commanded by Colonel Hunton, Major Cabell, Lieutenant Wm. N. Wood, Captain Wingfield, and Captain McPhail, were ordered to the south-eastern side of the village to support several batteries of the Washs position without the support of the troops on the right. There being some delay in withdrawing Moody's section of artillery, I take pleasure in saying I saw Major Cabell halt and face his men about, to await its removal, as mentioned in his official report. The main street of the town was commanded by the Federal artillery; my

den, while the cavalry under General Marmaduke held the line of the Ouachita, scouring the country in front to within twenty-five miles of Little Rock, where Steele had for some time been preparing for an advance. A brigade of cavalry, under General Cabell, was posted between Washington and Parachifta, in observation of the enemy, about five thousand strong, at Fort Smith, and guarding the approaches east of the Arkansas line, while General Maxcy with two brigades of cavalry, watched those leadNorth Texas. On the twenty-third March, Steele moved out from Little Rock with about eight thousand men. On the twenty-first, Thayer left Fort Smith with about three thousand. They effected a junction at Archidelphia about the thirty-first. General Cabell was ordered to join Marmaduke. The cavalry was in two divisions, one under Marmaduke, and one under Fagan. General Maxcy was ordered with all his force, except such as was needed to prevent small raids, to hold himself at Logansport, in the

the most handsome manner. Lieutenant-Colonel Whittle, Thirty-eighth Virginia, had his horse shot three times, and, being dismounted, fought gallantly forward on foot, doing everything in his power to contribute to the result of the day. Major Joseph R. Cabell, Thirty-eighth Virginia, also had his horse shot under him, and charging considerably in advance of his regiment, was the second man to place his hand upon a piece of the enemy's artillery and claim it as our own.

Cabell, now Major, having been promoted, took charge of the line of skirmishers, and drove the enemy into his works near the city, and it was the impression of Major Cabell that the city might now have easily been captured, but no further advance being ordered, the day passed by with desultorywas in camp, for Kingston, North Carolina, and went into camp near that place on 8th.

men of that brigade now living, who can corroborate General Lee's testimony. I should not think it necessary to state my own vivid recollections of the occurrences of that memorable day, but that it so happened that by a circumstance which took place several months afterwards, the correspondence between Beauregard and Ewell, now published for the first time, came into my possession. There were two companies of cavalry serving with Ewell's brigade on that day—viz: the Governor's Guard, Captain Cabell, and my own, the Goochland Light Dragoons. My impression is, that the whole brigade—five thousand strong—was drawn up, ready to move, by seven o'clock in the morning. The cavalry were in the saddle, and in line, and continued so for two hours. I had opportunities of witnessing General Ewell's intense anxiety and excitement at not reciving the expected orders to advance. At last we did advance—if I am not mistaken, about 9 o'clock—merely in consequence of informal, but reliable info

hink it was on the 10th that the enemy, after having tried other parts of the line and failed, tried to break through our left. He accordingly charged the Texas brigade, which was my left and the left of the army—came up to the works, some of them even clambering over, but these last were instantly killed or captured, and the balance driven back. On another occasion the enemy charged over the same ground and against the same brigade, but were handsomely driven back, chiefly by some guns of Cabell's battalion, under Major W. H. Gibbes, posted a little to my left and rear. I think it was on the 12th that they again made a determined effort to break through my line, this time selecting the right, commencing on the extreme right of the line, Bratton's South Carolina, and extending to the left through DuBose's Georgians (Benning being wounded at the Wilderness and not rejoining until late in the fall), and Perry's Alabamians, but they were repulsed throughout with great slaughter.

. Again leading, closely followed by General Wright's brigade until we reached the musket-range of the enemy's supports to his artillery, where the fire from both became so galling a momentary pause ensued. Six times was the attempt made to charge the batteries by the regiments of Armistead's brigade (just mentioned), and as many times did they fail for want of support on the left, involving the necessity of falling back a short distance under the cover of the brow of the hill. Major Joseph R. Cabell, commanding the Thirty-eighth Virginia regiment, says: When Generals Mahone and Wright came up with their brigades the order was given to charge, which was obeyed with promptness and alacrity, the Thirty-eighth being on the right and leading the charge. After getting in about seventy-five yards of the enemy they were halted and commenced a terrific fire, after which the order was given to charge, which the men did most gallantly-attempted five separate and distinct charges—but were
