to take with him the twelve-pounder howitzer; which he did, but could not bring it off the island. The transportation, under the direction of Major M. A. Pringle, Post Quartermaster in Charleston, was admirably managed. Lieutenant-Colonel Dantzler, Twentieth South Carolina volunteers, having been specially detailed by General Ripley to superintend the transportation, under his spirited and excellent management, it succeeded perfectly. When the infantry were all embarked, I directed Captain Kanapaux, commanding light artillery, to spike his three howitzers, and embark his command. Captain Lesesne was then ordered to spike the guns of Battery Gregg, and embark his men. The rear guard from Wagner coming up at this time, were embarked. I had ordered Captain Huguenin down, sending word by private John A. Stewart, Gist guards, the cavalry couriers having left without permission. There was no light kept at Gregg, so I could not well note the hour. With two or three boats, I now anx

mber. According to instructions, a guard of 35 men, under command of Captain T. A. Huguenin, had been left to bring up the extreme rear, and to fire the only magazine which contained powder. The necessary arrangements being completed, and Colonel Keitt having been informed that the transportation was ready, the embarkation commenced, and was continued with the utmost quietness and despatch. The wounded were first embarked, and were followed by the remnants of the infantry garrison. Captain Kanapaux, commanding light artillery, was then ordered to spike his three howitzers and embark his command. Captain Lesesne, commanding at Battery Gregg, spiked the guns of that battery and followed with his command; and the rear-guard from Wagner, coming up at this time, in pursuance of orders from Colonel Keitt, the safety-fuses communicating with the magazines were lighted—that at Wagner by Captain Huguenin, and that at Gregg by Major Holcombe, C. S.— and the remainder of the command was saf

rahamville and the church, it became all-important that the advance of the enemy should be retarded in order that the Confederates might occupy those works. With this view Colonel Colcock pushed rapidly forward with a 12-pounder Napoleon gun of Kanapaux's Light Battery, under command of Lieutenant Zealy, and Company K, of the Third South Carolina Cavalry, Captain Peeples. He encountered the head of the Federal column on a causeway a mile and a half in front of the breastworks. It was a favoral belonging to the Third Regiment South Carolina Cavalry, under command of Major Jenkins. Artillery.—A section of the Beaufort Artillery, Captain Stuart; a section of De Pass's Light Battery; a section of the Lafayette Artillery; one gun from Kanapaux's Light Battery. The Confederate line of battle extended from the Honey-Hill road, on which its right rested in a semicircu-lar form through an open pine barren to the Coosawhatchie road.

ore skillfully, none have the same command, and, I may add, few had the same amount of difficulty to over come. The engineer who has carried out the work deserves great commendation for the result which he has produced. Should the enemy ever come near enough to see this frowning line of defence, I venture to say that his courage will fall him at the eventful moment, or he will be decimated in an assault. On my return towards the city, I visited the camp of the Lafayette Artillery, Capt Kanapaux. A company which will, on the 25th, celebrate its second centennial anniversary whose organization has never passed into that of any other, and which formed during the war of 1862, now steps forward to contend for their rights in this the second war of independence. The company is in possession of a complete battery of beautiful guns and howitzers, and are now engaged in drilling their horses for the field. I had the pleasure of witnessing the inspection parade, and was much pleased a
