Telegraph road near the mill on----Creek, and then up the newly-made road to the top of the hill just in rear of the cemetery, and from that point across the field in the rear of Marye's house, where Brigadier-General Kershaw ordered, through Major Gaillard, of the Second South Carolina regiment, that the regiment should form in line of battle and advance on a line with the Second South Carolina regiment. An order was received through Lieutenant A. E. Doby, aid-de-camp, to the effect that our renant Doby, A. D. C., delivered to me an order to form my regiment and move forward and occupy the crest of the hill at Marye's house, with my right resting at the house. I immediately began to close up my regiment to execute the order, when Major Gaillard rode up, and, speaking for Brigadier-General Kershaw, extended substantially the same order, and, at my request, gave me the direction of the crest which I was to occupy, so that I could form parallel to it before advancing. The regiment was

h a fence intervening about one-quarter of the distance. As soon as we crossed the fence I ordered bayonets fixed, and moved at a double-quick, sending Lieutenant-Colonel Gaillard's Second South Carolina regiment, my extreme left, to gain the enemy's right flank. When within one hundred yards of the enemy they broke, and I openedand drove him to the top of the hill, the Second South Carolina reaching the crest. The troops to his left having fallen back to their former position, Lieutenant-Colonel Gaillard says, in his report, that he was obliged, reluctantly, to fall back. This was an attack on the right flank of the enemy, and the line was at an obliqueenemy had left. I immediately communicated the fact to the Lieutenant-General commanding. In the morning General Robinson withdrew, and I sent forward Lieutenant-Colonel Gaillard to take possession of the enemy's hospital and to picket to the front. The day was spent in caring for the wounded, burying the dead, and collecting ar

ecame the Twenty-seventh South Carolina Volunteers. I must do General Pemberton the justice to say that he selected some excellent officers. Major R. Blythe Allston, who was a captain in the sharpshooters, was one the very best officers of Colonel Gaillard's regiment and Hagood's brigade. Notwithstanding every subterfuge which the captains could with honor devise, some good men were lost. Though a good shot could not be selected by draft, which was resorted to in some of the companies, it presented it to General Hagood. July 18th.—Battery Wagner, on Morris Island, was assaulted after a terrific bombardment. The enemy were repulsed with great loss in killed and prisoners captured. The Confederate loss was also heavy. Colonel P. C. Gaillard was severely wounded, losing his hand; Captain W. E. Stoncy was also severely wounded, and Major Ramsey was killed. Several other valuable officers were killed.
