After feeling our lid opened fire on the right flank, and all of Falligant's horses fell at the first volley.

Take the case of Lieutenant Falligant at Cold Harbor, already mentioned. Our battalion report set forth his splendid conduct in detail; General Kershaw, commanding our division, was full of enthusiastic admiration, and promised --and I have no doubt fulfilled his promise — to press Falligant's promotion; yet no notice was ever taken of the matter. If Falligant had done in Napoleon's army precisely what he did in the Army of Northern Virginia I have no doubt he would have been decorated on the field and promoted to be fFalligant had done in Napoleon's army precisely what he did in the Army of Northern Virginia I have no doubt he would have been decorated on the field and promoted to be full colonel of artillery. He was a second lieutenant when he rendered his superb service at Cold Harbor, 1864. If I mistake not, he was a second lieutenant at Appomattox. I think it was at Suffolk that a private soldier in one of the regiments of the Confederate force investing the place proposed, and alone and single-handed

ion. After the 13th for several days the two great leaders manoeuvered for advantage, Grant continuing his flank movement while Lee kept in front of him, offering daily battle. These movements continued until the two armies reached Richmond, and soon thereafter General Early was detached and sent on his famous campaign through the Valley and to Washington, which has been described elsewhere in this sketch. A fine martial poem, called, The Man of the Twelfth of May, written by Captain Robert Falligant, of Savannah, fitly and eloquently describes this remarkable and heroic incident. From it I make the following extract: When history tells her story, Of the noble hero band, Who made the green fields gory For the life of their native land, How grand will be the picture Of Georgia's proud array As they drove the boasting foemen back On that glorious Twelfth of May! Whose mien is ever proudest When we hold the foe at bay? Whose war-cry cheers us loudest As we rush to the bloody fra
