Immediately upon the fall of Sumter the most active and constant efforts were made by Governor Pickens and General Beauregard to repair and arm the fort, to strengthen the batteries defending the harbor, and to defend the city from an attack by the Stono river and James island. General Beauregard inspected the coast, and works of defense were begun on James island and at Port Royal harbor. But

y and sleepless vigilance go forward and gain us victories. Yours very truly, A. Lincoln. How far the anxious President's candid letter influenced the generalship of the new commander may be seen by what follows in description of his unhappy experiences in finding the enemy and testing his inferior equipment, intelligence and valor. On April 30, 1863, the Federal army under Hooker had 133,708 men actually available for the line of battle, organized in seven corps; the First under Reynolds, the Second under Couch, the Third under Sickles, the Fifth under Meade, the Sixth under Sedgwick, the Eleventh under Howard, the Twelfth under Slocum. The artillery included 370 guns, of all calibers. The cavalry force outnumbered General Lee's three to one. General Lee's army was numerically not as strong as at the battle of Fredericksburg, Longstreet having been sent south of the James with the divisions of Hood and Pickett, and Hampton's cavalry brigade having been sent into the i

r Gettysburg, had met a strong cavalry force, before which they withdrew without battle. Early on the morning of July 1st, General Hill pushed Heth's division forward, followed closely by Pender's. With Heth was the Pee Dee artillery, in Pegram's battalion; with Pender, the battalion of McIntosh. About 10 a. m. Heth met Buford's Federal cavalry and drove it back across Willoughby run, where the cavalry was promptly supported by the First corps of Meade's army, three divisions, under General Reynolds. General Hill deployed Heth's division on the right and left of the road, Pender's in support, and the battle became severe. Pushing his battle forward, Hill was checked at the wooded ridge known as Seminary hill, where the First corps with artillery was strongly posted. Putting his artillery in position Heth gallantly charged the heights with his four brigades, and made so strong a battle that General Howard, with part of the Eleventh corps, reinforced the line of the First.

and Wilson's, to Forrest's support. Brannan and Baird were driving Forrest back to Jay's mill when Ector and Wilson came up, and then in turn Baird and Brannan were driven, artillery and prisoners captured. Thomas now reinforced his battle by Reynolds, and McCook sent in Johnson's division. Walker, coming up with Liddell's two brigades, took command of the battle and attacked vigorously with Forrest and his four brigades, driving Reynolds, on the Federal right, in rout; but Palmer's divisioReynolds, on the Federal right, in rout; but Palmer's division sent by Crittenden to reinforce Thomas, met and drove Walker back. Meanwhile, Baird and Brannan were checking and holding Forrest. General Bragg sent up Cheatham's division on Walker's left, and Thomas moved Brannan from his left to his right. Cheatham attacked against the Federal right, further reinforced by Van Cleve's division, drove forward for a half mile, was checked, his flanks threatened, and retired to his first position. The Federal right advanced, attacked Cheatham and Walker,

a warm reception from the artillery that no further effort was made that day. Next morning at daylight the enemy landed from barges at Shell point and made the attack on Battery Simkins and Fort Johnson. Both were fiercely assaulted by the Federals, but, said General Taliaferro, the gallant garrison, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Joseph A. Yates, received them with heroic determination, and soon staggered and drove them back, when, with a rapid charge headed by Lieutenants Waties and Reynolds, 140 prisoners, including 5 commissioned officers, were taken. The participants in this brilliant affair were the companies of Lieutenant Waties, Captain Gaillard and Lieutenant Cooper, of the First artillery, and of Lieutenants Halsey and Raworth, Second artillery. These officers and Corporal Crawford were distinguished for gallantry. Five barges were captured. The 3d was opened with an artillery battle along the line, and the enemy's monitors and gunboats were seen ascending the Sto

the advice of the chief surgeon returned home for recuperation. In 1863, having partially regained his health, he again entered the service and from that time to the close of the war he was a detailed assistant surgeon in Trenholm's squadron of the Seventh South Carolina cavalry. He was transferred from the army of Northern Virginia on account of the severity of the climate to northeast Georgia, in December, 1864, and afterward was surgeon of Durraugh's regiment. He surrendered with General Reynolds' command at Athens, Ga., in April, 1865. During the time he was in the service he was frequently petitioned by his friends to return home and practice medicine, but his patriotism and sense of right were too great to yield to them and barring the interval during which his shattered health forbade it, he served his country faithfully to the close of the war. Upon the return of peace Dr. Watson turned his attention to farming again and this has been his pursuit ever since, though for a p
