Attack on Fort Gilmer, September 29th, 1864. By Charles Johnston. [The following letter to the President of the Southern Historical Society was endorsed by him as follows: The young gentleman who furnishes this narrative — a private soldier in Huff's, afterwards Griffin's battery, I believe — is a gentleman by birth and education, being connected with highly respectable families, and there is no reason to doubt the, accuracy of his statements. J. A. Early.] Salem, Roanoke county, Virginia. General J. A. Early: As the Southern Historical Society has lately called upon all soldiers and officers of the Confederate army for any incidents of the late war that would be of general interest, I have presumed upon the fact of having been for four years a private soldier in that army, and upon the interest that I know you take in everything connected with the cause which you so earnestly, so honestly and so bravely defended, to call your attention to some facts connected with th

G. R. Kirtley and Capt. C. M. Turpin, of the First, killed; Captain Dupuy, of the Second, lost a leg; and Capt. Washington McDaniel, of Elliott's scouts, fell with a bullet through his breast just as the enemy retreated. Lieutenant Royster was left on the field badly wounded; Captains Crocker, Burkholder, Jarrett and Webb, of the Second, were also severely wounded; Capt. James M. Garrett fell in the front of the fight. Captains Thompson and Langhorne, and Lieutenants Elliott, Haney, Graves, Huff, Williams, Bullard and Bulkley were also severely wounded. Shelby was hard hit on the head, and his life was saved by the bullet glancing on a gold badge he wore on his hat. That night, January 11th, the dead were buried by starlight, and the next morning the command moved slowly and sorrowfully southward. Col. John M. Wimer and Col. Emmet MacDonald were citizens of St. Louis. Colonel Wimer had been mayor of the city and was universally respected. Colonel MacDonald was born and reared

ng detained for some time, though there were some in the crowd who were very much opposed to it. As soon as they got out of sight of that village they rode very rapidly, for fear that they might still be arrested by some of those who were so much opposed to allowing them to proceed. They arrived at Phillippi about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, and told Col. Portertied that the enemy would attack his camp that night or the next morning. These ladies then went to the house of a Mr. Huff, about a mile and a half from Phillippi, where they stayed all night. The next morning they heard the report of the firing at Phillippi, and, in disguise, accompanied by a country woman, returned to Phillippi on foot to see what had been the result.--They moved about amidst the enemy without being detected or molested in the least degree. Going into one of the houses, they found James Withers, of the Rockbridge Cavalry, who had concealed himself there to prevent the enemy from capturing

ommanders, they fought with unflinching courage. And to those noble spirits slain, history will not be silent — Though dead, the memory of their deeds is embalmed in every Southern heart. Lieutenants Jones and Haslett, of the Rangers, are captured. Lieut. Wise, of Wise's Legion, arrived in our city yesterday. Commissary's Sergeant Rice, of Col. Shaw's regiment, was captured. Capt. Cole was shot through the head and died instantly. Gen. Wise is safe and recovering from his illness Major Huff is supposed to be captured. About sixty escaped of our men, the rest were either taken prisoners or killed. Five of the Rangers escaped, four are with Gen. Wise--two sergeants, one corporal, and two privates; the two privates are in the city. Wm. Selden, son of Dr. Selden, of our city, was killed while bravely defending the battery. Thus we close the scene of this fearful contest. The number killed and wounded on our side we cannot say; that of the enemy, by thier own confession, is a
