nly on carrying the position before them, neither broke their alignment until it was broken by the irregular impact upon the enemy's works, nor stopped to fire their guns until their rush to obtain the parapet was repelled. When General Hagood saw his men thus rushing upon certain destruction, and his efforts to stop them unavailing, he felt that if they were to perish he should share their fate; and with Molony and Martin and Orderly Stoney, who were all of his staff that were with him (Moffatt and Mazyck were farther back, in discharge of their respective duties as inspector and ordnance officers), followed the advancing line. In fifty yards Lieutenant Martin fell, shot in the knee; a few steps farther and Captain Molony fell, shot through the head, and Hagood and Stoney alone reached the works—the latter shot in the shoulder, but not disabled. The 25th and 21st regiments being on the left, from the oblique direction of the advance, first struck the works; and while they stagge

nected reasoning and good language. For the rest of this day's entry in his journal he records staid at home this night, reading a little of Homer's First Iliad. As he does not say, we can only guess whether he took his Homer in the original or through a translation. With Latin we know that he was on intimate terms, even without the evidence of his Scottish medical degree. While at Newport he writes: I stayed at home most of the forenoon and read Murcius [Meursius], which I had of Dr. Moffatt, a most luscious piece, from whom all our modern salacious poets have borrowed their thoughts. I did not read this book upon account of its lickerish contents, but only because I knew it to be a piece of excellent good Latin, and I wanted to inform myself of the proper idiom of ye language upon that subject. On his return to New York he notes that a day passed away, as many of our days do, unremarked and trifling. I did little more than breakfast, dine and sup. I read some of Hom

othing. No single ship ever again brought into the Confederacy so large a cargo of military and naval supplies. The Fingal was bought on the Clyde in September, 1861, by Capt. James D. Bulloch, of Georgia, the European agent of the Confederate States. She was a new ship, with a speed of thirteen knots, high for that time, and was the first to run the blockade directly for the Confederate government. The passengers besides Captain Bulloch were Col. Edward C. Anderson, Messrs. Foster and Moffatt, of Charleston, and Dr. Holland, an ex-surgeon of the United States army. They sailed from Greenock, Scotland, early in October, under the British flag, and with a British captain; collided with an Austrian brig at Holyhead, but fortunately escaped injury, and arrived at Bermuda November 2d. Bulloch then explained to his English crew that his true object was to run the blockade, and that though the ship still flew the British flag, he had a bill of sale for her in his pocket. The captain

prisoners,) expected a reinforcement of 500 from Wautauga county, North Carolina, a disaffected region adjoining Johnson county, Tenn. In the fight, the enemy were driven out of the woods, nine killed and five taken prisoners. The remainder retreated, and our scouts returned towards their camp. Capt. Miller received a charge of buckshot through his coat, and two of his men were slightly wounded in the feet. The prisoners were taken to the cavalry camp at Carter's Station. Among these who distinguished themselves by bravery and daring in the skirmish was a young man named Moffatt, a private in the Georgia regiment. The men all fought well, and too much praise cannot be given to the adventurous party scarcely any of whom had ever been under fire before. These particulars, which we have from a gentleman who participated in the fight, are strictly authentic. Some additional account of the proceedings of the Union men in East Tennessee will be found under the telegraph head.
