artermaster of Washington, gave her storage for them, and she could then work more systematically. During the long, disastrous peninsular campaign she went to the wharves daily, when the transports arrived with loads of suffering men from the swamps of the Chickahominy, her ambulance laden with dressings and restoratives, alleviating their miseries as they were removed to the hospitals. She went with railroad cars, loaded with supplies, to those wounded in the battles of Cedar Mountain, Chantilly, Fredericksburg and Antietam. She established her headquarters once in a tall field of corn; at another time, in a barn; and at Antietam, on the piazza of an abandoned house, working day and night with the shot and shell shrieking around her, her face black as a negro's, and her lips and throat parched with the sulphurous smoke of battle. She accompanied the Ninth Army Corps from Harper's Ferry to Fredericksburg, with her wagon train, as a general purveyor for the sick. Her supply of

ng Reno's corps across the two converging turnpikes covering the approaches to Fairfax Court House from Centreville and Chantilly, with orders to keep back the irrepressible Confederates. Jackson, by continuing his march well into the night, took position across the Little River turnpike, at Ox hill, in front of Chantilly. In the midst of a terrific storm of driving rain, with almost continuous thunder and lightning, on Monday, September 1st, he met and repulsed a Federal advance under Reno, to reorganize the army of the Potomac from the broken Federal forces there gathered. Longstreet followed Jackson to Chantilly, but did not reach there in time to take part in the battle. Lee paused in his onward march, at this noble Chantilly mChantilly mansion of one of his relatives, to give his men much needed rest and bring forward the supply trains which his rapid marches had left far in the rear. In four short months the army of Northern Virginia had, under his leadership, with its 80,000 men

Chapter 19: The Maryland campaign against McClellan. Resting at Chantilly, with every reason to be well content with what he had accomplished during the three months that he had personally commanded the army of Northern Virginia, and anxious to keep the Federal invaders from the soil of Virginia, Lee, on the 3d of September, suggested to President Davis that now was the most propitious time since the commencement of the war for the Confederate army to enter Maryland; but he would not conceal the condition of that army after the fierce contests it had just passed through, so he continued: The army is not properly equipped for an invasion of an enemy's country. It lacks much of the material of war, is feeble in transportation, the animals being much reduced; the men are poorly provided with clothes, and in thousands of instances are destitute of shoes. Still we cannot afford to be idle, and though weaker than our opponents in men and military equipments, must endeav

Chapter 6: The campaign against Pope-Cedar Mountain Gordonsville Warrenton Bristoe Station Groveton Second Manassas Chantilly, or Ox Hill Pope defeated at all points. The result of the battles around Richmond so weakened Federal confidence in General McClellan's ability, that General Halleck was called from pursuit over the Little River road. Near Germantown was fought, on the 1st of September, what the Confederates call the battle of Ox Hill. The Federals name it Chantilly. As soon as Jackson overtook the Federals, he deployed for attack, and the battle was fought during a terrific storm. The brigades of Branch and Brockenbrough 139. and Lee had captured from him thirty pieces of artillery and upward of 20,000 small-arms, Lee's Report. to say nothing of the stores at Manassas. The North Carolina losses in the two days and one night at Manassas were as follows: killed, 70; wounded, 448. At Ox Hill, or Chantilly, they were: killed, 29; wounded, 139.

cesses, he could rely on them for much self-denial and arduous campaigning. Moreover, the prospect of shifting the burden of military occupation from Confederate to Federal soil, and of keeping the Federals out of Southern territory, at least until winter prohibited their re-entering, was alluring. Accordingly, he ordered the divisions of D. H. Hill and McLaws and Hampton's cavalry, which had been left to protect Richmond, to join him. These forces reported to the commander-in-chief near Chantilly on the 2d of September. Between the 4th and the 7th, the entire Confederate army crossed the Potomac at the fords near Leesburg, and encamped in the vicinity of Frederick City. Of this army, thirty regiments of infantry, one battalion of infantry, one cavalry regiment, and four batteries were from North Carolina. These were distributed as follows: The Fifteenth regiment was in McLaws' division; Ransom's brigade of four regiments was under Walker, as also were the Twenty-seventh, Fort

s later he was put in command of Pettigrew's brigade. His commission as brigadier-general was dated from this day, June 3d. At Beaver Dam he led two desperate assaults ordered against the Federal works, in which his men suffered great slaughter, but bore themselves as heroes. He fought next day at Cold Harbor, then at Frayser's Farm, and at Cedar Run, by a skillful and energetic flank movement, saved the day. At Second Manassas he exposed himself almost recklessly, fighting like Ney. At Chantilly he led the movement and was again wounded. At Winchester, Harper's Ferry and Sharpsburg he was a heroic figure, and at Fredericksburg, where he was wounded, he and his brigade received great praise for coolness and steadiness under heavy fire. At Chancellorsville, General Jackson, after receiving his fatal wound, recognized in the darkness the gallant Pender near him, and said, You must hold your ground, General Pender, you must hold your ground, sir.

he went without another word. He marched on the morning of the 31st, struck the Little River turnpike at Wykoop's, turned toward Fairfax Court House, and camped for the night at Pleasant valley. On September 1st he continued his march, passed Chantilly, and came upon Pope's forces at Ox hill, just south of the turnpike, and about halfway between Chantilly and Germantown. General Pope had due notice of the advance on his right, and early on the 1st formed a determination, as he reports, to fiChantilly and Germantown. General Pope had due notice of the advance on his right, and early on the 1st formed a determination, as he reports, to fight a battle between the roads which come together at Fairfax, on one of which he was stationed, Jackson, followed by Longstreet, marching on the other. Reinforced by Sumner's and Franklin's corps, General Pope arranged for battle on the 1st of September with a force of 57,000. The corps of Heintzelman, Reno and McDowell were in position south of the Little River turnpike, facing almost north. Against these corps General Jackson attacked on the afternoon of the 1st, the battle being fought

inia, in the brigade of Gen. Maxcy Gregg, of the famous light division of A. P. Hill. There he took part in the great victory of Second Manassas, and was slightly wounded, but continued on duty and participated in the engagement at Ox Hill, or Chantilly. Going into Maryland he was with Hill and Jackson at Harper's Ferry and reached the field of Sharpsburg at 3 p. m. of the 17th of September. His regiment alone made a gallant charge upon the enemy, the situation at that moment demanding heroithe Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House, Second Cold Harbor, the fighting about Petersburg, and the retreat to Appomattox. At Second Manassas he was slightly wounded four times in the space of ten minutes, but did not leave the field, and at Chantilly he was captured by the enemy. Though held in prison but three weeks at the Old Capitol, he was not exchanged until the following December, just prior to the battle of Fredericksburg.
