ngs to intercept the retreat, the First and Third North Carolina regiments and the two Virginia regiments making up the brigade, became engaged in a brilliant night battle. These regiments were in position along a railroad cut, and were largely outnumbered, but Milroy's men could not move them from their line, and about 1,000 surrendered to General Steuart alone, who had been reinforced by the brigades of Nicholls and Walker. The First North Carolina captured four stand of colors. Lieut. John A. Morgan, of the same regiment, greatly distinguished himself by serving gallantly a piece of artillery commanding a bridge desired by the Federals. The losses in the two regiments were only 9 killed, 28 wounded. The brigades in General Rodes' division were engaged in a successful pursuit of the enemy at Berryville and Martinsburg, but had no serious engagement until they reached Gettysburg. The weeks following Chancellorsville were busy weeks with the cavalry. At Middleburg, General

Carlin advanced two brigades against the Confederate front and recoiled in disorder. Buell's brigade was next broken by Bate, and then Stewart and Hill continued the success toward the center. Brigade after brigade of Davis' was crushed, and but for a gallant charge by Fearing, the center would have been entirely disrupted. Morgan tried in vain to break Hoke's front.

It was successful in front of Cogswell and at other points, but did not result in drive ing off Sherman. The Junior reserves, of North Carolina, the unripe wheat of the State, made themselves prominent for gallantry on this field. How reduced the Confederate army was by this time is shown by a statement in Gen. D. H. Hill's report. He command

He commanded Beauregard's left wing at the battle of Drewry's Bluff, May 16th, and gallantly stormed the enemy's breastworks, playing a prominent part in the corking up of Butler's army. In June he took command of Early's cavalry in the movement against Hunter and the expedition through Maryland against Washington. In August he was relieved on account of illness, in September served as president of a court of inquiry connected with Morgan's operations in Kentucky, in November was assigned to command at Charleston, but was soon compelled by illness to abandon that post. He surrendered to General Howard at Warrenton, May 2, 1865. In the trying times following the close of hostilities he found employment as express agent and city marshal at Wilmington, subsequently engaged in farming until 1878, and then accepted a position as civil engineer in charge of river and harbor improvements by the national government, making his hom
