The guns immediately to the right of Shepherd's battery were manned by some of my bravest officers and men, but the fatal mistake of the commander was fighting from behind the revetment instead of from the top of the parapet, as ordered. Only two of the men mounted the parapet, and they were instantly shot down. One was Bob Harvey, a recklessly brave boy, the last male member of an old family of Bladen county. I have been unable to learn the name of his heroic companion. From behind the revetments these gallant men poured a destructive fire on the assailants as they reached the parapet, and the enemy fell thick and fast in their front, but they were too few to load and fire in time to stop the ever increasing column, and soon the assailants were firing down upon them, and they were forced to surrender, although refusing at first to do so.

ationed as a picket, below the lowest battery, and at the point where the Zouave regiment from New York mace a landing. They sustained a terrible hand-to-hand conflict with this whole regiment and were cut up almost to a man. When Capt. Stigall came away he did go in pursuance of the orders of Col. Shave who told him to save all the public property he could; and he carried away all the papers, orders, and other portable matters. At Suffolk our informant, Dr. H. H. Robinson, of Bladen county, heard any number of rumors, half a dozen in half au hour. One of these reflected on Col. Shaw; about this be made inquiry of Capt.
