The principal officly teaching the blacks all the summer that if Hampton is elected they will be remanded to slavery, alify our hopes. The Democrats believed that Hampton was elected by a majority of about twelve hunrue intent and meaning of his orders, and General Hampton wrote him such a reply as an indignant gewas the head; to acknowledge no Governor but Hampton. Tremendous was the enthusiasm of the meetinere was henceforth little legal opposition to Hampton. Hampton Governor—Grant's last malicious kick. Meanwhile Governor Hampton was not lying idly waiting for events to decide for him. He had adecision. He could not refuse to acknowledge Hampton, he dared not deny the claims of Chamberlain.ards of four months since the inauguration of Hampton, and yet, owing to the hesitation of the Presthe President, on the 23d March, invited both Hampton and Chamberlain to visit him in Washington.

temporarily connected with Rosser, or he with us. Rosser, as the Colonel of the Fifth Virginia, had served in our brigade, and was well understood by the troops.] The chief value of Sheridan's victory was not evident until ten days later at Cedar Creek, where the Union cavalry flushed with success, developed great staunchness, while Early's horsemen proved fatally weak. [If they only developed staunchness at that stage of the war, we will say that neither our Lieutenant-General, or Major-General Hampton, or Fitz. Lee were there to take command of our cavalry.] If they were fatally weak, Sheridan's physical strength was their weakness. I did not intend to say one word about other cavalry brigades, except as far as was necessary to keep up a connected story. If I could, it would give me infinite pleasure to add to the beauty of their splendid efforts. But I will say that Lomax's division had never been used much as cavalry, they were armed with miserable guns for the service exac

use to the enemy for prompt pursuit. But just at this critical moment when a panic might have been precipitated, General Hampton appeared upon the scene, and took in the situation at a glance. Seven more mounted Confederates happened to have bdiers from the Army of Northern Virginia, but then there was no time for counting noses, and, moreover, their leader was Hampton. We have often read of a warrior's eyes figuratively flashing fire, but it is literally true that on this occasion his ce of one man, by the personal prowess and the moral influence of one man.

It is true it was a very unimportant life, of no value whatever at that time to any one but the possessor, and notrned upon and was about to kill his captor with a small revolver, which had been secreted on his person.

o be occupied by my artillery, as soon as it should arrive. This order I obeyed, and, on returning to camp, found Captain Moore with his two guns, the caissons having been unavoidably abandoned. I lost no time in placing Captain Moore's battery in position, and had just done so when Lieutenant Landry arrived with one 10-pounder Parrott, and informed me that his horses having entirely broken down, he was compelled to abandon his caissons, and that he had turned over to Captain Hart, of General Hampton's legion, his two 3-inch United States rifles, being unable to move them with his horses. As the enemy was then threatening us, I lost no time in placing Lieutenant Landry's piece in position, and this had just been done when Captain Moore opened upon a battery of the enemy's guns, which appeared in range on the Sharpsburg road. Our guns were worked carefully until the ammunition was exhausted, when I first ordered Captain Moore and then Lieutenant Landry to retire; this, however,

When General Hampton came along after the brigade had passed, he, in person, ordered me to gather my men and take the rear. It was shary that I saw advancing. My mind was too fully occupied\by affairs in front to notice what was in my rear, but as General Hampton knew I had but a handful of men opposed to General Burnside's army, it is reasonable to suppose he ordered some supprough my Lieutenant, William W. Gordon, to charge. Not being under his jurisdiction, but under the direct orders of General Hampton, I considered that I was acting on my own responsibility, and as the enemy were climbing a long and high hill, I calcharge in arms, equipments and prisoners.

ning was wholly due to Logan's troops. The first fact is as to the burning of cotton by the Confederate cavalry. General Hampton, in a letter dated April 22d, 1866, published in an account of the burning of Columbia, written in 1866 by Dr. W. H. not an isolated case. If Columbia alone had been burned, it might remain, to the North, a question of veracity between Hampton and Sherman, between Rebel civilians and Union soldiers. The chances in that case would favor implicit confidence in thia was accidental On the same page he says: In my official report of this conflagration I distinctly charged it to General Wade Hampton, and confess I did so pointedly, to shake the faith of his people in him, for he was in my opinion a braggart, andhampion of South Carolina. Knowing, by his own account, that the fire was accidental, General Sherman charged it on General Hampton—not because he believed him to be guilty, but to shake confidence in him.
