render of Fort Sumter. A. R. Chisolm, Colonel, C. S. A. Very soon after Major Robert Anderson moved with his command into Fort Sumter from Fort Moultrie, Governor Francis W. Pickens sent James Fraser, of the Charleston Light Dragoons, to me at my plantation, fifty miles south of Charleston, with the request that I would assist with my negroes in constructing batteries on Morris Island. Taking my own negro men and others from the plantation of my uncle, Robert Chisolm, and that of Nathaniel Heyward, I was engaged in this work when General Beauregard arrived to take command. I then informed the governor that it would be necessary for General Beauregard to have an aide-de-camp who was familiar with the harbor and with boating; that I was the owner of a large six-oared boat and six superior oarsmen, that were at his service free of cost. I was thereupon commissioned lieutenant-colonel, and ordered to report to General Beauregard. Having visited Fort Sumter five times under a f

his profession at Columbia. He has been honored by the positions of president of the county medical society, chairman of the State board of health, president of the State medical association, president of the board of regents of the South Carolina home for the insane, fellow of the American medical association, the Southern surgical and gynecological association, and delegate to the international medical congress of 1876 at Philadelphia. By his marriage in 1865 to Anna, daughter of Col. Nathaniel Heyward, of Beaufort, he has six children living: Thomas, Benjamin F., Julius H., Anna H., Ellen E., and Edmund R. Frank Eugene Taylor, a prominent citizen of Charleston, who did gallant service with the Washington light infantry volunteers in Virginia during the last years of the war, was born at Charleston, March 22, 1846. He was educated at his native city and at the military academy at Hillsboro, N. C. Leaving the latter institution in the early part of 1863 he went to Richmond with

mbers to resist their fury. So, as the sun went down, we rested from our terrible labors of the day—we rested, but not in security. The evening shades crept upon the bloody field, and the contending armies paused for the night in their fierce struggle. An angry shell now and then, however, came hurtling through the trees, and one of them falling in a group of the First, killed Lieutenant John Munro, who had greatly distinguished himself during the day, and with him his comrade, young Nat. Heyward, who, during the battle, had been serving on my staff. Thus ended the part taken by Gregg's brigade of South Carolinians at Manassas, and of which Gordon says: In Southern histories and by Southern firesides the brave deeds that Southern soldiers had on this day achieved, were to mark it as the bloody and glorious day of the 29th August. In a small affair the next morning I had the misfortune to be wounded with a few others of the brigade, about a dozen, I believe, but the brigade t

The Yankees are very brutal in their treatment of the negroes. The negro men of Colonel Heyward, as soon as they arrived at Beaufort, were put into the army. The small pox prevailed extensively on Paris Island. The houses of Mr. Nat. Heyward and Mr. John Barnwell, in Beaufort, are occupied as hospitals. A white "superintendent" is pMr. Nat. Heyward and Mr. John Barnwell, in Beaufort, are occupied as hospitals. A white "superintendent" is placed upon every plantation, except such as have been "sold" to Yankee settlers. They are quartering up the land into 20 acre lots, and persuading the negroes to put up cabins and rent these lots. There is a telegraph from Beaufort Island to Hilton Head via Paris Island, and from Beaufort toward Port Royal Ferry. A Captain Paine (whom we took prisoner on a scout between Morris and James Islands) and a millwright named Saulsbury, are the two greatest Yankee scouts, and have frequently been over
