is advance near Barnesville. On the following day, the 9th of September, occurred the fight at Monocacy Church, in which the 7th again suffered loss. On the 10th Pleasanton attacked Munford on Sugar Loaf Mountain, but was repulsed; on the 14th Franklin's corps advanced in force, and Munford retired to a point near Frederick. The critical situation of the Confederate army on the 14th of September is well known to the old soldiers, as well as to the students of history. The dispatch to D. H. Hill that fell into McClellan's hands revealed the position of our troops, and accounts for the vigor of the Federals at Crampton's Gap and other points—the defence of the former by Munford, with his two regiments and a fragment of the two regiments from Mahone's brigade, under the gallant Colonel Parham, deserves a more extended notice than can be given here. With less than 800 men he held in check for three hours three brigades of Slocum's, and two of Smith's divisions. As the Federals clos

fter waiting what I thought a long time, I sent out another man on the same errand, who returned, and said ammunition had been sent for and would soon arrive. I waited for it so very long that I grew anxious, and determined to hunt it up myself; rode to the rear and found that bullets were whistling over the quadrilateral, right and left. I inquired for General Early's headquarters, and was told that he seemed to be riding all over the field that day. [Editor's note: General Early commanded Hill's corps that day, and held both the right and left of Lee's line.] I then inquired for General Ewell's headquarters. Its general direction was pointed out to me; found it after considerable trouble, and saw that the enemy had found it before I had. Ewell was standing before a portable field table with writing material on it, and his staff a short distance in his front, and shells were falling fast and furious all around. General Ewell was wearing an artificial leg in the place of the natura

sdale then said: Leave everything, except guns and cartridge boxes, under that tree. There were not over 100 blankets in the brigade. About that moment, General D. H. Hill galloped to a point about fifty yards in advance of us and halted. Quickly adjusting his field glasses, he let go his bridle reins and watched the Federal rom the stirrups, the general stepped a few paces away without removing the glasses from his eyes and without the slightest emotion. That was characteristic of D. H. Hill. Nothing could disturb his poise. Left face; forward march, rang out in clear tones along our line. We moved across a plowed field for a mile or more, at duced our ranks before the action began. These causes compelled thousands of brave men to absent themselves, and many more had done so from unworthy motives. D. H. Hill said: Had all our stragglers been up, McClellan's army would have been completely crushed or annihilated. As it was, McClellan's army was so completely shatt

ions of its powers we protested with all our energy. We never dreamed of overthrowing or destroying the old government or of molesting any State that elected to remain with it. We as fully acknowledged the right to remain, if so it seemed good, as we also claimed the right to withdraw. On the 10th of June, 1861, less than a month after the passage of the Ordinance of Secession, was fought and won the battle of Great Bethel in Virginia, won principally by North Carolina troops under Colonel D. H. Hill. And here another parallel with revolutionary days may be of interest. In that olden time of the first revolution our people were called upon to defend their homes, and to repel invasion; and with Richard Caswell, with Ashe and Lillington, they won the fight at Moore's Creek Bridge on the 20th of February, 1776, the first victory in pitched battle won in the territory of the thirteen colonies. There had been actions before, momentous and far reaching in their consequences, as at B

nfederate corps, commanded by Generals Polk, D. H. Hill and Buckner, were withdrawn to the vicinity ar Dug Gap, and as soon as they had done so, D. H. Hill was ordered to guard the passage in Pigeon m on September 10th, but no collision occurred. Hill made disposition for battle, and Cleburne's batan a hurried retrogade march. As soon as General Hill reported this fact, he was ordered to advand that destruction which a skilled general like Hill, with his impetuous soldiers, could have wroughce consisted of Polk's Corps, 12,027 strong; D. H. Hill, 11,972; Buckner, 11,029; 150 cannon and 7,5 left to Longstreet. Polk's command embraced Hill's Corps, Walker's Reserve Corps and Cheatham's igh rank had no information on the subject. D. H. Hill had been selected to begin the combat, but rtical. Breckinridge was being hard pressed. Hill sent Colquitt's Brigade to receive the pressureery position on that part of the field. General D. H.
