patterns, and conveyed them to a place of safety, where they were placed in wagons and sent to the Ordnance Department, under the direction of Capt. Taylor, when Col. Nance returned with his command to camp, near the Tuesday's battle-field.
Huger's Division.
It may not have been mentioned before that the whole of Huger's division was engaged in the thickest of the fight on Tuesday, the 1st of July; but certainly the due tribute of praise has been given to the different brigades and rHuger's division was engaged in the thickest of the fight on Tuesday, the 1st of July; but certainly the due tribute of praise has been given to the different brigades and regiments composing it. Both infantry and artillery fought with determined valor, and the names of those gallant leaders, Mahone, Wright, Armistead, and Ransom, will not soon be forgotten by their country.
The list of killed and wounded attests the unflinching bravery of the division.
From the South side.
The Petersburg Express, of yesterday, has the following:
Several of the enemy's gunboats came up the river Sunday evening late, and proceeded several miles beyond City Point.
T
ront, nor could I be expected to stand a fire in flank and rear.
I therefore fell back and tolled the rebels on. None of the Generals at Sebastopol acted so unfairly as did these four rebel Generals.
I had now tolled the rebels to the very place I wanted to get them, "Malvin Hill," a magnificent height, defended on the flanks by the gunboats, and only approachable by ravines swept by my artillery.
I anticipated a glorious time in slaughtering the rebels.
The rebel troops of Jackson, Huger, Magruder, D. H. Hill, and Whiting, swarmed around me all day. They came up to my batteries yelling and shouting, and I mowed them down with grape and cannister at half range.
It was a glorious victory; but I could not persuade our men that it was a glorious victory for them. I therefore yielded to the wishes of my heroic boys and resolved to toll the rebels on.--When the belligerents at Sebastopol gained a brilliant battle they held the field; my abandonment of Malvin Hill was, therefore,
pt. Mulvancy happened to be a listener, and turning to the discomfited follow, promptly answered: "The next time you come visiting, sir, without an invitation, you had better bring your own provisions.
We didn't expect you, or we might have had something cooked.
Possibly you'd like another brick pudding." The pleasant sally turned the laugh on the officer, and that was the last of the grumblers.
The meanness of the genus Yankee sticks out on every occasion.
After the assault, while Mr. Huger, of the Signal Corps, was going round the base of the fort, he suddenly espied a man doubled up in one of the lower tier of port holes, who, as soon as discovered, cried out with considerable industry, "I surrender, I surrender; here's my arms; don't shoot." Then, lowering his voice, as he delivered up his weapons, he confidentially remarked, "I say, Cap'n, there's another feller in the next hole — take him, too." He was, of course, immediately "took."
The papers publish the following
overthrow of Gates was so sudden and so unexpected that they had not time to reinforce him.--In Gates's whole army we are confident there was not a Yankee company.
There certainly were no Yankees with Marion and Sumter, and they were the men who had most to do with the tories in South Carolina.
Nor were there any Yankees in Green's army when he took command.
That army was composed, at Guilford, of the Maryland Line, under the command of Col. O. H. Williams, part of the Virginia Line, General Huger's South Carolina regulars, a part of the North Carolina Line, the cavalry of Cols. Lee and Washington, and the militia of Virginia and North Carolina.
The whole force numbered 4,500 men — a considerable army in those days — and there was not a company of Yankee soldiers among them.--The battle of King's Mountain was won by militia from North and South Carolina and Virginia.
Certainly there were no Yankees there. The battle of the Cowpens was won by the Virginia and Maryland troops unde
rallied, Beatty's brigade wheeled round to the right, forming an elongation of our line.
A wild cheer rose from our men, and again they swept on in one desperate charge, but were again met by another crushing volley, the sheet of flame from the guns leaping into the men's faces, while grape and canister and shell made fearful roads through the surging lines.
Though our men were dogged, determined, and fought with stern and desperate resolve, still no human power could sustain such a fire.
Huger's noble brigade was reeling back, shattered and broken.
Willish's was filling up the saps, white Beatty's was desperately trying to hold their own. The Third brigade of Johnson's division had taken up position on the left, but was able to render little effective aid.
There was a dead silence all along our other lines.
The very artillery ceased firing.
Why was this?
Why was there not a regular, a mulattoes attack?
Why was one noble division left to struggle against overpowering host
evenson.
