John Beatty, The Citizen-Soldier; or, Memoirs of a Volunteer, December, 1862. (search)
General Rousseau, and am soon after informed that neither he nor Loomis' battery can be found. Troops are reported to be falling back hastily, and in disorder, on my left. I send a staff officer to the right, and ascertain that Scribner's and Shepperd's brigades are gone. I conclude that the contingency has arisen to which General Rousseau referred — that is to say, that hell has frozen over-and about face my brigade and march to the rear, where the guns appear to be hammering away with redonightfall. The artillery saved the army. The battle during the whole day was terrific. I find that soon after the fight began in the cedars, our division was ordered back to a new line, and that the order had been delivered to Scribner and Shepperd, but not to me. They had, consequently, retired to the second position under fire, and had suffered most terribly in the operation; while my brigade, being forgotten by the division commander, or by the officer whose duty it was to convey the or

e and at times from their sharpshooters. About two hours later, the enemy advanced in strong force across the open field to the right of my front. Colonel Barbour--his regiment being on the right — informed me through Adjutant Oates of the advance, and wished to know what he must do should he be flanked. On being ordered to hold his position as long as possible, he deflected his three right companies, and formed them to the rear at right angles to the track. I at once sent my courier, Mr. Shepperd, to inform General A. P. Hill that the enemy were advancing in force upon the opening--Captain Hawks having been previously sent to apprise him that their skirmishers were in front of the same. Eight regiments were seen to pass my right, and another to move by the right flank by file left between the same body of woods and the fence beyond the track. This last regiment then faced by the rear rank and opened fire upon my right. The three companies of the Thirty-seventh became hotly enga

ley's battalion. Colonel Cravens (whose horse was shot under him) and Lieutenant-Colonel Matheny, Twenty-first; Colonel Dockery, Nineteenth; Lieutenant-Colonels Dismukes and Fletcher, Majors Williams and Wilson, and Captain Ashford, commanding Rapley's sharpshooters, were particularly distinguished. General Cabell also commended the bravery of his staff, Maj. John King, adjutant-general; Captain Balfour, inspector-general; Lieut. Marshall Hairston, aide-de-camp; his volunteer aides, Lieutenant Shepperd and Mr. Templeton, Captain Burnet, chief of artillery, and Lieutenant Hogg, commanding Appeal battery. The brigade loss was 98 killed, 223 wounded, 214 missing. Gen. Mansfield Lovell mentioned first among the regiments particularly distinguished the Ninth Arkansas, Colonel Dunlop, which, with the Twenty-second Mississippi, was the main factor in carrying a fortified hill on the 3d. This regiment, confronted by the enemy's intrenchments and artillery across a deep railroad cut, wa

t of an angle-canadian. In the House of Lords, on the 7th, Earl Carnarvor inquired as to the truth of the arrest and imprisonment of a Canadian subject named Shepperd, by order of Mr. Seward. He commented severely on the conduct of the United States, if the facts were correctly reported, and especially on the demand that ShepShepperd should take the oath of allegiance to the United States as a condition of release. Earl Russell, who was all but inaudible, was understood to say that the main facts of the case were correctly reported; but, as soon as Lord Lyons was informed of it, he applied to Mr. Seward, who stated that the oath of allegiance was tendered to Shepperd under the belief that he was an American, and his release was subsequently obtained on the condition that he should not go into the Southern States. The Federal Government claimed that, in an extraordinary emergency like the present, the President must be invested with extraordinary powers, extending to forei
