At Deep Bottom they came upon a picket composed of one battery of Hardaway's battalion and some infantry, and by the suddenness of their attack (which was between daybreak and sunrise) drove back our pickets, and continued to drive themavy cannon, and was manned by about forty men (of what command I never knew). Between Forts Harrison and Gilmer, a distance of nearly half a mile, were stationed Hardaway's batteries, Dance's being the nearest to Fort Harrison, Griffin's next, and Carter and Graham to their left, supported by the Texans and Tennesseans, with the C

illery. Carter's battery of Parrot guns was placed on a commanding hill west of the place, and Hardaway's, with one English Whitworth gun of great power and range, was posted three miles below. On tthe village they shielded themselves from the fire of Carter, but were still exposed to that of Hardaway. They now proceeded to vent their spleen in a dastardly outrage, which, were it not overshadowdog, and the wounding of a poor African slave. But while this dastardly attack was proceeding, Hardaway continued pertinaciously to pound them with his Whitworth shot, until they gave up the contest, assist the movements of Stuart, and to cross their fire with those of Colonel Walker. And Captain Hardaway from the division of D. H. Hill, was sent with his long Whitworth rifle, to the Highlands ee is no certain evidence what plan of action he would have recommended. The handling of Captain Hardaway's Whitworth rifle during the 14th, upon the highlands east of the Massaponax, gave one indi

Hill, consisting of Hardaway's, Carter's, Bondurant's, Rhett's, Peyton's and Clarke's, under command of Majors Pierson and Jones, were massed on our left. Capt. Bondurant advanced to the frand silenced. Other batteries soon, however, came forward successively to the front of the infantry, about three hundred yards in rear of Bondurant's position. Hardaway took up the fight with rifled guns. The object was to draw the attention of the enemy from Longstreet's contemplated attack. At about half-past 3 o'clock P. M., Longstreet commenced firing and driving the enemy down the Chicka-hominy. Hardaway then ceased firing, and the other divisions on the left of Longstreet successively took up the fight — the enemy retreating and being driven back toward D. H. Hill's artillery, on our left. The artillery being reinforced by a section of a Baltim

The three batteries of Jones's battalion, of my division, and Hardaway's battery and Bondurant's, were brought into action, and drove the Yankee artillery off the fieavage, of the Third North Carolina, fell badly wounded. The batteries of Captain Rhett and Captain Hardaway were particularly distinguished in this engagement. The division slept on the field that half their number had been stricken down.

on our right. A heavy column was advancing up the Boonsboroa pike, and I ordered up some two or three hundred men under command of Colonel G. T. Anderson, to the hill already described, commanding Sharpsburg. But they were exposed to an enfilade fire, from a battery near the church, on the Hagerstown pike, and compelled to retire to another hill. About thirty men, under Lieutenant-Colonel Betts, Twelfth Alabama, of my division, remained as supports to my division batteries, under Jones, Hardaway, and Bondurant. The Yankee columns were allowed to come within easy range, when a sudden storm of grape and canister drove them back in confusion. Betts's men must have given them a very hot fire, as Burnside reported that he had met three heavy columns on the hill. It is difficult to imagine how thirty men could so multiply themselves as to appear to the frightened Yankees to be three heavy columns. On our extreme right, however, the Yankees had been more successful. They had crossed

Captains Carter, Hardaway, Bondurant, Fry, and Page were conspicuous here, as everymselves in a hedge-row, and had it lined with artillery.

Major Hardaway, with fourteen pieces of rifle artillery, was attached to my command. Upon arriving at the river road I found the enemy strongly posted on Mine Run; and whengineer corps, who accompanied me, having discovered large parks of the enemy's wagons, and the camps of some of his troops, on the opposite side of the river, Major Hardaway was directed to post his guns at daybreak on the fourth at a point indicated by Captain Johnston, and to open a hot fire upon the parks and camps. This was ers in their assault upon the enemy, in his intrenchments, on the third, and in their subsequent advance upon Chancellorsville. Lieutenant-Colonel Garnett and Majors Hardaway and Richardson, commanders of artillery, distinguished themselves by their activity, skill, and courage.

ok the lead and attacked Hooker's center near Hazel Grove, capturing four Federal guns and gaining a position on the south end of the Chancellorsville plateau. As the light of day increased, Stuart's quick military eye detected the advantages of this Hazel Grove position, and he ordered Walker to concentrate thirty guns upon that point. These gave him an enfilade, as he was at the apex of Hooker's salient, along both the right and the left wing of the Federal army. Anderson's guns, under Hardaway, coming forward from toward Catherine furnace, also secured an enfilading position, and under the concentrated fire of these well served big guns, Hooker's position became untenable in about an hour. While Lee's artillery was doing this effective work, McLaws assaulted Hooker's left; Anderson his center, from the south; while Stuart pressed line after line against his right. By 8 of the morning, Lee's wings were joined in front of Chancellorsville, in continuous line of battle, and a st
