my attendance at Washington. I left the next day, and breakfasted with the General the sixth instant. At eleven A. M., I met at his office, by arrangement, Lieutenant Hall, who had been sent from Sumter by Major Anderson. In the General's presence, we discussed the question of relieving Fort Sumter. Lieutenant Hall's plan was tLieutenant Hall's plan was to go in with a steamer, protected by a vessel on each side loaded with hay. I objected to it for the following reasons: first, a steamer could not carry vessels lashed alongside in rough water; and second, in running up the channel, she would be bows on to Fort Moultrie, and presenting a large fixed mark without protection ahead, weneral Winfield Scott, United States Army: sir: The proposition which I had the honor to submit to you fully, in person, is herewith presented in writing. Lieutenant Hall and myself have had several free conferences, and if he is permitted by the South-Carolina authorities to renter Fort Sumter, Major Anderson will comprehend t
rific fire, but, under cover of the hill, happily escaped with few casualties. When the battery was threatened with an infantry force, this regiment was called and readily took its position to repel the enemy's attack, and stood modestly ready to do its duty, as gallantly as heretofore. To Colonel Mercer, for his judicious movements during the day, and to Colonel Canty, for his skilful retreat from picket and prompt flank manoeuvre, I think special praise is due, as well as to my staff, Captain Hall and Lieutenants McKim and Lee, for the promptness and coolness displayed in conveying orders. I would also call the attention of the Major-General to the services performed on this occasion and previously, by Captain Brown, of company A, Sixteenth Mississippi, who, with portions of his company, has within the last few weeks, killed twelve of the enemy, captured sixty-four with their arms, and some twenty-five horses with their equipments; and to the conspicious gallantry of private Long,
riving the enemy about a mile into the woods, when we halted to re-form; and finding that the enemy were about to flank us, we fell back to the edge of the woods, where we remained until the firing had ceased. The regiment was ordered to remain at this point until the captured battery could be taken off, when we marched back across the field, and bivouacked for the night. In this engagement, Lieutenant-Colonel Christian was seriously wounded, Major Burke and Captain Wright killed, and Lieutenants Hall and Blair, and Adjutant Williams, wounded. The regiment was in readiness to participate in the engagement of Tuesday, July first, but was not actively engaged. The officers and men who remained with the regiment acted well; but many of them, who had been on the sick list previously, and were just returned to duty when we started, being weak, were compelled to fall out during the march. I beg leave to call the attention of the General commanding to the following named officers for c
in directing the fire and movements of the men, and, by personal example, cheered and encouraged them. I gladly commend him to the notice of the commanding General. The noble courage of Major Holliday, who lost his right arm, will more properly come under the report of the brigade commander. Respectfully submitted. Edwin G. Lee, Lieutenant-Colonel, commanding Thirty-Third Virginia Infantry. Report of Colonel J. A. Walker. headquarters Thirteenth Virginia, August 14, 1862. Major Hall, A. A. A. General, Fourth Brigade: I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of my regiment at the battle near Mitchell's Station on the ninth instant. After deploying regiment as skirmishers, as directed by the General commanding the brigade, we advanced into the woods, between us and the enemy, about two hundred yards, where the left wing, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Terrill, encountered the enemy's cavalry, consisting of a small squadron of two or three
k the colors and led his regiment to the charge; and to the important services rendered by Captain W. C. Hall, A. A. G., and Lieutenant W. D. McKim, Aid, in assisting me to dispose the regiments for tthe conspicuous conduct of Colonel Ransom, of which the General can learn more by inquiry of Colonels Hall and Jenkins, Forty-sixth North Carolina; Major Flemming, too, of the Forty-ninth, evinced a cannot properly close my report without mentioning the Forty-sixth North Carolina volunteers, Colonel Hall commanding. About midday he reported to me, with his regiment, and was at once ordered into ined throughout. The conduct of the regiment was all it should have been, and the bravery of Colonel Hall and Lieutenant-Colonel Jenkins reflects the highest credit upon themselves and the service. idge could be finished, ordered me to point out to General Early's Assistant Adjutant-General, Major Hall, a road by which the brigade might be moved to Waterloo in case it should be forced back.
