motion to major, Capt. John A. Ramsey commanded it to the end of the war. Capt. T. H. Brem, of Charlotte, organized another of the light batteries, and with rare patriotism advanced out of his private means the money to buy uniforms, equipment and horses. Capts. Joseph Graham and A. B. Williams succeeded to the command. When this battery lost its guns at New Bern, the town of Charlotte had its church bells moulded into new guns for it. The other two light batteries were commanded by Capts. A. D. Moore and T. J. Southerland. The five heavy batteries, commanded respectively by Capts. H. T. Guion, W. S. G. Andrews, J. L. Manney, S. D. Pool and T. K. Sparrow, were all assigned to coast defense, and while they did not have as much field service as the light batteries, they were called upon to do much arduous and thankless service, and did it well. By this dual system of organization there were two sets of regiments with the same numbers: First and Second regiments of volunteers and F

h City. There, with 200 pounds of regular and 100 pounds of blasting powder, Lynch made what defense he could against the gunboats that followed him, but his ships were destroyed by the enemy or beached and left. So, in addition to Roanoke, Elizabeth City was in the hands of Burnside. Shortly afterward an expedition, commanded by Col. Rush Hawkins, Ninth New York, made its way up to Winton and burned a good part of the town. The five companies, all raw militia, sent to defend it, fled, Moore says, ingloriously in the direction of Murfreesboro. With the fall of Roanoke the way was clear for General Burnside to direct his army against New Bern, the second largest town on the North Carolina coast Events soon showed this to be his intention. Hence the State sent its available forces there under Brig.-Gen. L. O'B. Branch. Six regiments of regularly organized troops, one battalion and several unattached companies of militia, hastily gathered from the adjoining counties, half-arme

cording to General Whiting's report, this affair was very creditable to the officers and men engaged. On December 10th, Lieut.-Col. John C. Lamb, with some companies from the Seventeenth regiment, a squadron of cavalry under Colonel Evans, and Moore's battery, captured for a time the town of Plymouth, N. C. Colonel Galloway gives the following account of the adventure: The plan was to capture the pickets and take the place by surprise. We reached the picket station just before day, capture bank of the river ready for battle. General Robertson, having under his command the Eleventh North Carolina, Colonel Leventhorpe; the Thirty-first, Colonel Jordan; 600 dismounted cavalrymen from Ferrebee's and Evans' regiments; and a section of Moore's battery, under Lieut. N. McClees, had been sent to burn the bridge and dispute Foster's crossing should he attempt to rebuild the bridge. General Foster sent forward the Ninth New Jersey regiment, followed by Amory's brigade, and eight batteri

y this I inferred that Pickett's division had been repulsed, and if so, that it would be a useless sacrifice of life to continue the contest. I, therefore, did not attempt to rally the men who began to give back at the fence. Letter quoted in Moore's History, II, 256. General Lane's testimony, the testimony of a gallant Virginian, is the same. He says: As soon as I could dismount from my wounded, plunging horse, I ordered Colonel [C. M.] Avery, in command of my left regiment, to move tker was promoted to a brigadier-generalship. In the fall of this year Col. James B. Gordon was also promoted and assigned to a brigade, made up of the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth North Carolina cavalry regiments. About the same time, says Moore, bold and fearless James Dearing succeeded Beverly Robertson in command of the Second North Carolina brigade. After this memorable campaign in the North, Lee's army took position along the Rapidan. During the invasion of Pennsylvania, Gen. D.

reenville, there was a brisk skirmish between Colonel McChesney, commanding a Federal cavalry and artillery force, and Major Moore, with some companies of the Third North Carolina cavalry. The close of 1863 was gloomy enough in eastern North Carolina. Moore thus describes it: The condition of eastern North Carolina grew hourly more deplorable. Frequent incursions of the enemy resulted in the destruction of property of all kinds. Especially were horses and mules objects of plunder. Pianoa, Colonel Martin; Forty-second North Carolina, Colonel Brown; Fiftieth North Carolina, Colonel Wortham; Sixty-sixth, Colonel Moore. He had 2,326 heavy artillerymen, 374 light artillerymen, and about 500 cavalrymen.

The following cavalry regiments were present: Third, Colonel Baker; Fourth, Colonel Ferebee; Sixth, Colonel Folk. Miller's and Cumming's batteries also participated in the campaign. General Butler, commanding an army estimated at 36,000 men, was to advance on Richmond from the south James side, intrench as he came, and ultimately join General Grant. The united armies were then to crush Lee and take Richmond. When Butler's initiatory movements began, there were few Confederate tro<

enfiladed while receiving the full force of the enemy's direct fire in front. The total number of Grant's killed and wounded, again using Humphreys' figures, was 5,600, and he adds, It is probable, indeed, that the numbers were considerably larger. These great battles had brought to their graves many gallant spirits among the North Carolina troops. Generals Daniel and Gordon, Cols. J. H. Wood, C. L. Andrews, Edmund Brabble, C. C. Blacknall, C. M. Avery, W. M. Barbour, John G. Jones, A. D. Moore, W. H. A. Speer, J. R. Murchison, Majs. J. J. Iredell, J. A. Rogers, and perhaps other field officers whose name sought to be recorded, gave up their lives for the cause they loved. Deaths and consequent promotions brought, of course, changes in the brigade and regimental commands. General Ramseur became a major-general. Bryan Grimes, W. R. Cox, William MacRae, gallant soldiers, all received worthily-won commissions as brigadiergen-erals. The great Overland campaign was ended, and

s first colonel, in November, 1861. He soon brought his regiment to such a remarkable state of discipline and training, that in the latter part of December he was given command of a brigade, including the Thirty-third, Thirty-fourth, Thirty-seventh and part of a new regiment, at Raleigh. April 2, 1862, he was elected colonel of the Eleventh, formerly First or Bethel regiment, and at Wilmington was put in charge of a brigade, composed of his regiment and the Forty-third and Fifty-first, and Moore's horse artillery, to which two more regiments were added later. He remained in command of the district of Wilmington until September, when General Clingman was assigned, but on account of the prevalence of yellow fever, Colonel Leventhorpe was left in charge until he was ordered with his brigade to the Blackwater, where he was on duty some time, defending a line of twenty-six miles. His admirable disposition of troops and active defensive operations prevented any Federal success in that qu
