e pressure, was forced to retire towards Seminary Ridge. Hall's battery, severely crippled, succeeded in getting away as the right retired. Doubleday's other divisions came up about the moment General Reynolds was killed. The Second (Robinson's) and Third (Rowley's) Divisions deployed on the right and left. Cooper's battery of four three-inch guns followed the left division. At the same time Hill reinforced by his division under Pender, Thomas's brigade on his left, Lane, Scales, and Perrin to the right. These restored the Confederate right, overlapping the Federal left; at the same time Thomas's brigade made successful battle on the left, pushing off Wadsworth's right and Hall's battery, when the two brigades of the Second Division (Robinson's) were sent to their support, but were, in turn, forced back towards Seminary Ridge. The Confederate sharp-shooters cut down the horses of one of Hall's guns and forced him to drop it. Hill advanced Pegram's and McIntosh's artillery to

bled. Of our medical staff, Surgeon J. R. Page and Assistant Surgeons Green, Perrin, Semple, Monteiro, and Hopkins were called upon for the exercise of their skillat I would do it if it were possible. I placed the two flanking companies, Captain Perrin's and Captain J. J. Norton's, one hundred yards in front, as skirmishers, covering the front of my regiment when deployed, and under the command of Captain Perrin. I placed Captain Miller's company fifty paces in rear of Captain Perrin's, tCaptain Perrin's, to support him; and Captain Miles M. Norton fifty paces in rear of Captain J. J. Norton, to support him. I placed the four companies under command of Lieutenant-Colonemaking the charge. I am proud to record the gallant manner in which Captain James M. Perrin, as commander of the skirmishers, acquitted himself. He deserves grea of, the conduct, on the occasion referred to, of Surgeon J. R.

n safety. The fighting at Sharpsburg was severe, and the loss considerable, being in the aggregate one hundred and sixty-five. Among the killed were Colonel Dixon Barnes, Captain F. A. Erwin, and Lieutenant Blackman, of the Twelfth South Carolina volunteers, and Lieutenant J. A. McIntyre, of the First South Carolina volunteers. Among the wounded were Captain M. P. Parker, of the First South Carolina volunteers; Captain J. L. Miller, Captain H. C. Davis, Lieutenant R. M. Kerr, and Captain J. M. Perrin, commanding Orr's rifles; W. J. Stone and S. G. Roseborough, of the Twelfth South Carolina volunteers, and Lieutenants J. M. Wheeler and W. L. Leitzer, of the Thirteenth. Where all did their duty well, it may not be unpardonable to declare that, in this battle, the palm was borne off by the intrepid Colonel Barnes, who nobly fell whilst leading the invincible Twelfth in their last victorious charge. Colonel Barnes was as amiable and generous in peace as he was gallant and irresistib
stify to the courage and fortitude with which these dangers were met and these fiery trials were endured by my brave comrades, so long as they were under my observation. Several valuable officers were wounded--one, Captain W. W. Chance, who has suffered amputation of his leg, is lost to the service, if he shall not unfortunately be lost to his friends. He was a superior and gallant officer, and his loss is a great one to the regiment. Captain John C. Summer, a most successful officer, Captain Perrin Foster, an efficient, zealous and conscientious officer, and Lieutenants Hollingsworth and Hill, both young lieutenants of promise, were killed. The three field officers, Captain Todd, senior captain, and Captain Hance, third senior captain present, were wounded, and Captain Summer, second senior captain present, was killed; thus putting the six ranking officers of the regiment hors de combat. Ours is a bloody record; but we trust it is a highly honorable one. Very respectfully, Jame
Thursday, seventh instant. It remains now but to speak of our losses. They were heavy, (lists of which have already been forwarded to division headquarters, Brigadier-General Pender,) and among them I regret to announce the death of Colonel James M. Perrin, Orr's rifle regiment, who was mortally wounded while gallantly fighting his regiment at the breastworks, on Sunday, third May. Colonel Perrin was one of the captains of my old regiment, (First South Carolina volunteers,) and on duty witColonel Perrin was one of the captains of my old regiment, (First South Carolina volunteers,) and on duty with me in South Carolina previous to my coming to Virginia, in 1861. Since then he has, at various times, been under my command. A more zealous or efficient officer could not have been found in this command. Noble, brave, and pious, he lived to win the admiration and esteem of his friends, and we will trust died to receive the reward of a life spent in the strict discharge of every duty.

works they had taken. Here, in the midst of a desperate fight, General McGowan and his able and gallant adjutant-general, Capt. A. C. Haskell, were severely wounded. Col. O. E. Edwards, of the Thirteenth, assumed brigade command, but this heroic soldier, exposing himself with characteristic intrepidity, was soon mortally wounded. Col. D. H. Hamilton, of the First, then took charge of the brigade. Here, also, the brigade suffered an irreparable loss in the fall of the accomplished Col. James M. Perrin, of the First rifles, who was mortally wounded at the breastworks. Among the gallant dead of McGowan's brigade were Lieuts. E. C. DuBose and C. P. Seabrook, of the First; Lieut. H. L. Fuller, of the Thirteenth, and Lieut. J. H. Fricks of the First rifles. Sergt. L. A. Wardlaw, Color-bearer G. S. Bell and Private T. R. Puckett, of the Rifles, were wounded bearing the colors. Maj. G. McD. Miller, of the Rifles, was severely wounded. The total loss of the brigade was 46 killed and 402

In July, 1861, he entered the Confederate service as orderly-sergeant of Company B, Capt. James M. Perrin, of Orr's regiment of Rifles.

He served with his regiment in the army of Northern Virginia, and took a gallant part in the excellent record of the regiment in many campaigns and battles. He was wounded in the battle of Second Manassas, August 29, 1862, having his right leg broken by a ball; was shot through the right wrist at Chancellorsville, and at Jericho Ford, May, 1864, received a wound in the face. Finally he was surrendered at Appomattox, after which he resumed his law practice at Abbeville, as the partner of his former preceptor, Hon. T. C. Perri
