illed, undisciplined, were thrown into the fortifications a few miles below the city. To these were joined one or two companies of heavy artillery and Brem's and Latham's light batteries, and some companies of the Second cavalry. Much time had been expended constructing, on the Neuse river, works to repel gunboats, but comparati point guarded only by some artillery acting as infantry. Back of the line, on the railroad, Col. C. M. Avery's regiment, the Thirty-third, was held in reserve. Latham's battery was posted near the Thirty-seventh, and Brem's on the railroad. General Hawkins errs greatly in saying: These works were armed with 41 heavy guns and 19 field pieces. (Battles and Leaders.) The only guns on this line were as follows: Fort Thompson, 13; Brem's battery, 6; Latham's, 6; total, 25. A careful search of official records convinces one that it is impossible to ascertain Branch's force with positive accuracy. General Hawkins (Battles and Leaders, I, 648) makes it bet

utenant-Colonel Hoke; and also two temporarily attached regiments, the Twelfth North Carolina, Col. B. O. Wade, and Forty-fifth Georgia—in all seven regiments—and Latham's North Carolina battery, that joined him the night before the battle. In view of the hard fight that Branch gave him, it is not surprising that General Porter, ee times the Confederate force. At the approach of the two forces, General Branch advanced Colonel Lane with the Twenty-eighth North Carolina, and a section of Latham's battery, under Lieutenant Potts, to support his pickets. The regiment soon became heavily engaged with Porter's van, the Twenty-fifth New York regiment, and dronel Wade, of the Twelfth, were to make a similar movement to the left flank of the battery, and Cowan (Eighteenth) was to charge across the open ground in front, Latham meanwhile bringing his guns to bear on their front. Hoke, supported by Colonel Wade, had a sharp skirmish, taking 6 prisoners and 11 horses, but came out too lat

and passing through the broken brigade checked the pursuit, and in turn drove them back and relieved Taliaferro's flank. Latham's North Carolina battery was also engaged in this battle. The Union loss in this battle was 2,381; the Confederate, 1, sharpshooters lost 5 killed and II wounded. There was heavy artillery firing at Warrenton Springs on the 24th. There Latham's North Carolina battery, with other batteries, was directed not to reply to the enemy's batteries posted across the rivewe; the Twenty-second, Maj. C. C. Cole; the Thirty-fourth, Col. R. H. Riddick, and the Thirty-eighth, Captain McLaughlin; Latham's battery, Lieut. J. R. Potts, and Reilly's battery, Capt. James Reilly. On the morning of the 29th, Jackson was in po the advance of Jackson, Archer's, Thomas' and Pender's brigades acting in concert had rendered most effective service. Latham's and Reilly's batteries contributed their full share to this victory. The Federal army retreated toward Fairfax, and

fficer remained unhurt. General Robinson reported a loss of 1,667, out of 2,500. The second day at Gettysburg was nearly equal in advantages to the contending armies, but the result inspired the Confederates with the hope of triumph. On the morning of the second day at Gettysburg and in the early afternoon, no North Carolina troops were in the assaulting forces. Four North Carolina batteries were posted along the center and right of the Confederate lines. These were Manly's, Reilly's, Latham's and Capt. Joseph Graham's. They faithfully executed the duties assigned them, and were under fire and engaged as circumstances required. In the late afternoon, Johnson's division was ordered to assail Culp's hill. One of his brigades, Walker's, was detached, but his remaining three prepared for the attack. Early's and Rodes' divisions were to co-operate in this movement up the rugged and mountainous acclivity, strong by nature, and rendered more formidable by intrenchments and abatis.

t improved. Reserve depots were established at Lynchburg, Danville and Greensboro. Even then new difficulties appeared, for the railroads were so poorly equipped that they could not haul rations as fast as the armies consumed them. Wagons had to make regular trips to supplement the worn-out trains. At the opening of the spring campaign, the following North Carolina troops were present in the army of Northern Virginia:--In Gen. Bryan Grimes' division were the First North Carolina, Maj. L. C. Latham; the Second, Maj. J. T. Scales; the Third, Maj. W. T. Ennett; the Fourth, Capt. J. B. Forcum; the Fourteenth, Lieut.-Col. W. A. Johnston; the Thirtieth, Capt. D. C. Allen; all of Gen. W. R. Cox's brigade; the Thirty-second, Capt. P. C. Shurord; the Forty-third, Capt. W. J. Cobb; the Forty-fifth, Col. J. R. Winston; the Fifty-third, Capt. T. E. Ashcraft, and the Second North Carolina battalion, all of Grimes' old brigade, commanded by Col. D. G. Cowand. In other divisions—Walker's, He
