ion being nearly exhausted, and its numbers much reduced. A small part of the division, under Colonels Grigsby and Stafford, united with Early's brigade, as did portions of the brigades of Trimble Lawton, and Hayes. The battle now raged with great violence; the small commands under Hood and Early holding their ground against many times their own numbers of the enemy, and under a tremendous fire of artillery. Hood was reenforced by the brigades of Ripley, Colquitt, and Garland, under Colonel McRae, of D. H. Hill's division, and afterward by D. R. Jones's brigade, under Colonel G. T. Anderson. The enemy's lines were broken and forced back, but fresh numbers advanced to their support, and they began to gain ground. The desperate resistance they encountered, however, delayed their progress until the troops of General McLaws arrived, and those of General Walker could be brought from the right. Hood's brigade, greatly diminished in numbers, withdrew to replenish their ammunition,

Colonel Haywood at this point left the regiment to look for General Branch. The command then devolved upon Captain R. B. McRae, who, hearing heavy firing in our front, was just on the eve of ordering the regiment in that direction, when Colonel Haywood returned with orders from General Jackson. We then marched by the right flank to a wheat-field on the left of thral Branch, with the rest of his command, advanced to his support. The Thirty-seventh first became actively engaged. The enemy opened a deadly fire upon this regiment. The Eighteenth, under Lieutenant-Colonel Purdie, and the Seventh, under Captain McRae, went to its assistance, and the enemy were driven in disorder beyond the railroad cut. The enemy were repulsed in two subsequent attempts to drive these regiments from their position. The Thirty-third, under Colonel Hoke, also fought well i

enty-fourth Virginia of Early's brigade. By Colonel R. L. Maury. The Immortal Twenty-fourth.--The Yankee General Hancock said that the Fifth North Carolina and the Twenty-fourth Virginia, for their conduct in battle before Williamsburg, ought to have this word inscribed upon their banners. The Twenty-fourth in the fight of yesterday vindicated its title to this honor. * * * *.--Richmond Enquirer, June 2, 1862. The narratives of Colonel Bratton, of the Sixth South Carolina, and of Colonel McRae, of the Fifth North Carolina, published in the Papers of the Southern Historical Society for June and August last, describing the charge made by a small part of Early's brigade [the Twenty-fourth Virginia, supported by the Fifth North Carolina] at Williamsburg, upon a redoubt on our extreme left, defended by General Hancock with five regiments and ten guns, affords a proper occasion to record an account of the achievements there of the Twenty-fourth Virginia infantry, which bore the prin

ern Hill. About 11 o'clock on Thursday morning, our cavalry pickets at Malvern Hill were attacked by a superior force of the enemy, and a brisk skirmish of half an hour ensued. The enemy approach by the Charles City road, and commenced the attack in the immediate vicinity of the late battle-field. Our force engaged consisted of about one hundred and fifty men, of the 2d and 4th regiments of Virginia cavalry, and were commanded by Col. Lee, of the 4th regiment. In the engagement, Private Carter, of the Governor's Guard, was killed, and Captain Chamberlain, of the same company, wounded in the foot. In addition, there were some five or six others wounded, among these we have heard the names of Madison Clinch and R. B. McRae, of the Prince William cavalry. Mr. Clinch is now at the United States Hotel hospital in this city, and has a severe flesh wound in the leg above the knee. The enemy were driven back, and our forces continued to occupy the field at the latest accounts.
