ilroad, about 2 o'clock P. M. on Friday, the 18th September ultimo, when I reported to Brigadier-General Kershaw, who had preceded me, and who ordered me into camp with that portion of the brigade which had already arrived at that point. Early the next morning we marched under General Kershaw's command to the neighborhood of Ringgold, where we remained in line of battle to guard a gap in the mo forming in front, and on a line nearly perpendicular to our line of battle. By order from General Kershaw I changed front forward on my first company, and the other battalions conforming to the manng breastworks), and passed about one hundred yards into the woods, where we were halted by General Kershaw, as I understood, until General Humphries could come up on our right.

The artillery we held until the Eighth South Carolina came up and a brigade was brought up by General Law, when we were ordered to join our brigade on the left. I was then put in command of the regiment, and we were shortly moved to the right, where we were held until nearly night, when we were carried forward to the left, and our brigade took possession of the heights, relieving General Kershaw's brigade, the enemy, in the meantime, evacuating the field. We had one officer killed and seven wounded, twelve noncommissioned officers and privates killed, eighty non-commissioned officers and privates wounded, and twelve missing, making our total loss, in killed, wounded and missing, one hundred and twelve, a list of which has already been furnished. T. T. Clay, Captain Commanding Fifth Texas Regiment.

On the evening of the 17th, when within three miles of Knoxville, I was ordered by Brigadier-General Kershaw to cross the railroad on my left and flank the enemy's advanced line of skirmishers, which crossed the railroadsame route by which I approached. I did so, and after some time, having reached the woods, I received an order from General Kershaw through Lieutenant Dwight, A. A. G., to rejoin the brigade on the London road. I did so immediately. Not knowing teft of the road, and just to the southwest of Mr. M. M. Armstrong's house. I received an order about 4 P. M. from General Kershaw, through Lieutenant Doby, A. D.

After the line commenced on our left to retreat, we remained in position until Gordon's division had all fallen back and in great disorder, and the brigades of our own division following suit up to ours, which was the extreme right of Kershaw; and then, with no troops for a considerable distance on our right and the field to the left a mass of fugitives, Colonel Sims, of the Twenty-first regiment, at this time in command of the brigade, consulted me and we both deemed it prudent to wy defending their country, their liberty and their flag, will not permit me to remain silent when opportunity offers to controvert the report of General Early, which, as well as I remember, says that Ramseur's division and some scattering men of Kershaw's were all that halted after the first retreat and attempted to retrieve the disaster.
