on account of the prevalence of yellow fever, Colonel Leventhorpe was left in charge until he was ordered with his brigade to the Blackwater, where he was on duty some time, defending a line of twenty-six miles. His admirable disposition of troops and active defensive operations prevented any Federal success in that quarter. General Pryor relieved him in December, but kept Leventhorpe in command in the field. Early in January, 1863, returning into North Carolina, he fought the battle of White Hall, and won a brilliant victory. At this time his regiment was reported as the best drilled in the service, and received many compliments. In all drilling contests the Eleventh North Carolina was barred, a tribute to its superiority. He participated in the siege of Washington in the spring of 1863, defeating an attack by the enemy April 9th, at Blount's mill. Then with his regiment he joined the army of Northern Virginia, and fought at Gettysburg in Pettigrew's brigade of Heth's division

again settled in Newberry county, where the father died in 1844. The mother afterward married Col. Joseph A.

eral troops and urged a near approach. When within range he opened fire with both barrels, and was in favor of charging down upon them, but the officer in command prudently withdrew his small force. I have heard the General express the regret that Broad River was between the enemy's camp and the mainland, and that we had no ships to go after them! I think his ambition was to sacrifice his life for the State and the cause. He survived the war a few years, and, riding in his buggy to the White Hall Plantation, where President Washington was entertained on his visit to South Carolina in 1791, without an enemy in the world, universally esteemed and respected, he was murdered and robbed by two negroes.

een carried to his grave, and in a single year after his successor had been decapitated, under the vigorous administration of Cromwell, she became more powerful, more feared, and more respected, than she had ever been at any former period of her history. The long misrule of Charles H. and his brother again caused England to lose all influence abroad. Perhaps her condition was never so pitiable as during the Dutch maritime wars, when the cannon of the enemy were heard at the palace of White Hall. But no sooner had James H. been expelled, and his place filled by William of Orange, a man of great enterprise and consummate vigor and conduct, than she instantly resumed her rank among the foremost States of the world. She relapsed again, about 1761-62, when the reins were taken from the bands of the elder Pitt and placed in those of Lord Bute. The change seems to have been more rapid than it had ever been. In 1760 she was triumphant over France in all parts of the world. In Americ
