From a photograph. Before the war, General Cobb was a lawyer. He was born in Georgia in 1820. In 1851 he published a Digest of the Laws of Ged, a gallant fellow came within one hundred feet of Cobb's position before he fell. Close behind him came soas the only effort that looked like actual danger to Cobb, and after it was repulsed I felt no apprehension, aver, to carry ammunition than as a reinforcement for Cobb. Kershaw dashed down the declivity and arrived just in time to succeed Cobb, who, at this juncture, fell from a wound in the thigh and died in a few minutes fromies of their dead. Before the well-directed fire of Cobb's brigade, the Federals had fallen like the steady de line behind the stone fence. The position held by Cobb surpassed courage and resolution, and was occupied b

This continued until about 1 P. M., when General Cobb reported to me that he was short of ammunit, and directed General Kershaw to reinforce General Cobb with two of his South Carolina regiments, arders had been given I received a note from General Cobb, informing me that General R.

Cobb fell at the head of his gallant troops, and ke was borne from the field severely wounded. Fearing that Cobb's brigade might exhaust its ammunition, General Longstreet e two regiments to its support. Arriving after the fall of Cobb, he assumed command, his troops taking position on the cres three other regiments. General Kershaw took command of Cobb's brigade, which I had had supplied with ammunition from myolleys, and then it took position shoulder to shoulder with Cobb's and Cooke's men in the road. During this third attack General Cobb was mortally hit, and almost at the same instant, and within two paces of him, General Cooke was severely woundfine spirits and an abundance of ammunition.

s an error in relation to the operations of my brigade. In the morning of that day, my troops were stationed at the foot of Lee's Hill. After the assaults on General Cobb's position had commenced, I was directed to send two of my regiments to reenforce Cobb, and did so. Before they had reached him, tidings arrived of the fall ofCobb, and did so. Before they had reached him, tidings arrived of the fall of General Cobb, and I was immediately ordered to take the rest of my brigade to the position held by his forces, and assume command of the troops of McLaws's division there. I preceded my troops, and as soon as possible arrived at the Stevens House at the foot of Marye's Hill. As my brigade arrived they were placed--two regimentsGeneral Cobb, and I was immediately ordered to take the rest of my brigade to the position held by his forces, and assume command of the troops of McLaws's division there. I preceded my troops, and as soon as possible arrived at the Stevens House at the foot of Marye's Hill. As my brigade arrived they were placed--two regiments, the 3d and the 7th South Carolina, at Marye's House on the hill, and the rest of them in the sunken road, with the left resting about the Stevens House. The last regiment that arrived was the 15th South Carolina (Colonel De Saussure's). He sheltered his command behind the cemetery on the hill until his proper position was made

ipes, after a lunch of hard crackers, a courier came to Colonel Walton, bearing a dispatch from General Longstreet for General Cobb, but, for our information as well, to be read and then given to him. It was as follows: Should General Anderson, on yoo his movements. Descending the hill into the sunken road, I: made my way through the troops, to a little house where General Cobb had his headquarters, and handed him the dispatch. He read it carefully, and said, James A. Seddon, Secretary of Wd fallen facing the very muzzles of our guns. Cooke's brigade of Ransom's division was now placed in the sunken road with Cobb's men. At 2 P. M. other columns of the enemy left the crest and advanced to the attack; it appeared to us that there was n hill. It left dead men on Miller's redoubt, and he had to drag them away from the muzzles of his guns. At this time General Cobb fell mortally wounded, and General Cooke was borne from the field, also wounded. Among other missiles a 3-inch rifle-

Notes of a Confederate staff-officer. by W. Roy Mason, Major, C. S. A. Fredericksburg was the first great battle that I saw in its entire scope. Here the situation of the country — a champaign tract inclosed in hills — offered the opportunity of seeing the troops on both sides, and the movements down the entire lines. I witnessed the magnificent charges made on our left by Meagher's Irish Brigade, and was also a sorrowful witness of the death of our noble T. R. R. Cobb of Georgia, who fell mortally wounded at the foot of the stone-wall just at the door of Mrs. Martha Stevens. This woman, the Molly Pitcher of the war, attended the wounded and the dying fearless of consequences, and refused to leave her house, although, standing just between the advancing line of the enemy and the stone-wall, the position was one of danger. It is said that after using all the materials for bandages at her command, she tore from her person most of her garments, even on that bitter cold day, in h
