or six feet deep to carry off the water of an adjacent stream or swamp. As the rebels entered this field, in heavy masses fully exposed, the mounted infantry, with their seven-shooting rifles, kept up a continuous blast of fire upon them, while Lilly, with his Indiana battery, hurled through them double-shotted canister from his ten-pounder rifles, at less than three hundred yards. The effect was awful. Every shot seemed to tell. The head of the column, as it was pushed on by those behind, nually moving, it got no nearer. It broke at last, and fell back in great disorder. It was rallied and came on again, and with desperate resolution pushed through the solid fire to the ditch. Here all who could get in took shelter. Instantly, Lilly whirled two of his guns and poured right down the whole length of the ditch his horrible double canister. Hardly a man got out of it alive. At this point, said Wilder, (who has been seasoned to slaughter by being two hundred times under fire,)

were all mounted; pursuit with infantry after the deed was done would have been unavailing. Infantry could not have reached the place short of three hours, and the enemy would have then been fifteen miles off. The silly and absurd story that firing was heard at my camp, and that I was thus notified that the little band was in distress, and failed to go to its relief, is known to have no shadow of truth in it, by Cols. Owen, King, Miller, and O'Brien, of the infantry, Captains Nicklin and Lilly, of the artillery, and by all the officers and men of my command. I appeal to them to relieve me of the imputation, and by their testimony I am willing to abide. E. Dumont. Chicago Tribune account. Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 16, 1862. The One Hundred and Fourth regiment Illinois volunteers arrived at Columbus, Ohio, this morning, and are now quartered in Camp Chase. I have heard their account of the Hartsville affair, and am sure many of your readers would like to see a narrative in

repulsed, losing seventy-one men out of three hundred carried into action, including their chivalrous Colonel McIntosh, mortally wounded. Captain Burch and Lieutenant Lilly were killed in action, and many other valuable officers and men of both regiments were either killed or wounded, a detailed statement of whom has heretofore witzers) could not have acted better. I regret to say that our loss in killed and wounded was comparatively heavy. A list of casualties is herewith appended. Major Lilly, who was in command of the Twelfth Mississippi regiment, was wounded while gallantly and coolly discharging his duties at the head of the regiment, and retiringcker, company K; Captain Tompkins, (killed,) Lieutenants Ingraham and Kelly, company G; Lieutenant George, commanding company I, aided by Lieutenant Stephenson and Lilly, (the latter killed,) all displayed conspicuous gallantry. I desire to notice, particularly, the good conduct of Lieutenant George, not only throughout the enga

welfth Georgia, with which I was more than any other, elicited my especial approbation. It is a gallant fighting regiment, and I have had occasion before to notice its good conduct. Its commander in this action, Captain William F. Brown, who is over sixty years of age, displayed great coolness, courage, and energy. He is eminently deserving the command of a regiment, and I recommend him for promotion to fill the first vacancy that may occur among the field officers of the regiment. Captain Lilly, of the Twenty-fifth Virginia regiment, with a small body of his regiment, (Twenty-fifth Virginia,) including the color-bearer, attracted my attention by the gallantry displayed by them in advancing among the foremost after the regiment had got into disorder. A body of men, from the Twenty-first Virginia regiment, around their colors, advancing in the same way, attracted my attention by their gallantry. I was particularly struck by the bravery exhibited by the color-bearers of these tw

the left of me, but, for some purpose, whatever force was there had been with-drawn, and I thus found myself in this position. T. soon discovered that the enemy's skirmishers were crossing the railroad to my left, and advancing through a cornfield, and I immediately sent word to General Hill of the state of things, and after some delay, some brigades were sent to occupy positions to my left. During the course of the morning the skirmishers from my brigade which were under command of Captain Lilly, of the Twenty-fifth Virginia regiment, repulsed a column of the enemy which commenced to advance, and a short time afterward an arrangement was made so as to place General Hill's troops on the left, this division in the centre, and Jackson's division on the right. In making this arrangement there was room left in the front line for only three of the regiments of my brigade, and I left the Forty-fourth, Forty-ninth, and Fifty-second, in position, under Colonel Smith, of the Forty-ninth,

hich we hope will adorn a very large number of our Southern schools and homes. Photographs of distinguished Confederates are somewhat common; but accurate, standard pictures are comparatively rare. We are indebted to Mr. D. H. Anderson, photographer of Richmond, for a lot of the latter class. He has presented us with superb photographs,and (most of them) excellent likenesses of Generals R. E. Lee, J. E. Johnston, Stonewall Jackson, Early, J. E. B. Stuart, Heth, Mahone, G. W. C. Lee, Lilly, Jno. S. Preston, Geo. W. Randolph, John Echols, Beauregard, B. T. Johnson and D. H.

t of the State and has been so engaged since. In 1892 he was elected to the legislature from Hampton county, and in 1894 elected to the State senate. Again in 1898 he was elected to the legislature. He is the owner of twenty-five miles of railway from Branchville to Mauldenton. In 1860 he married Miss Leonora, daughter of Maj. George W. and Elizabeth Conners, of Anderson county, and to this union six children have been born, five of whom are living: Jacob, engaged in the lumber business; Lilly, wife of J. C. Lightsey, of Hampton; Washington C., in business with his father; Leonora, wife of Rev. L. M. Roper, pastor of the First Baptist church at Canton, O.; and Helen. William L.

ty. To slip between them is the problem. Early solved it. On the 16th of July he moved through Snicker's Gap to the Valley, crossing the Shenandoah on the 17th, and taking position on the 18th, near Berryville, skirmishing successfully, and repelling the advance of Wright's column at Castleman's Ferry. On the 20th, Ramseur had an affair with Averill's cavalry, which was threatening our trains from Stevenson's Depot, and was badly worsted, losing four pieces of artillery, General Lewis and Lilly being wounded, and Colonel Board, of the Fifty-eighth Virginia, being killed. Grant now wrote Halleck to send back to him the Sixth and Nineteenth Corps, before Early could get back to Lee: but Early was too quick for him. On the 22d Early posted himself across Cedar Creek near Strausburg. On the 23d news came which proved to be correct, that Wright's column had returned to Washington, where transports were ready to convey them to Grant at Petersburg and that Crook and Averill had unite
