unded, and 13 missing; over one-third of those engaged. The year 1863 was spent near Corinth, and in 1864, the regiment having reenlisted, entered upon Sherman's Atlanta campaign, during which it was hotly engaged at Lay's Ferry, Ga. (Resaca), where it lost 11 killed and 51 wounded. It was then in Rice's (1st) Brigade, Sweeny's (2d) Division, Sixteenth Corps. After the fall of Atlanta, it was placed in Rice's (4th) Division, Fifteenth Corps, in which it served during Sherman's Georgia and Carolina campaigns. Mustered out July 12, 1865.

quested to direct to Tennessee, the purpose being to hasten reenforcements to Pemberton without weakening Bragg. This was in deference to your own opinion that Bragg could not be safely weakened, nay, that he ought even to be reenforced at Pemberton's expense, for you had just ordered troops from Pemberton's command to reenforce Bragg. I differed in opinion from you, and thought Vicksburg far more exposed to danger than Bragg, and was urging forward reenforcements to that point both from Carolina and Virginia, before you were directed to assume command in person in Mississippi. XXI. I find nothing, then, either in your dispatch of 16th June, or in any subsequent communication from you, giving a justification for your saying that you have not considered yourself commanding in Tennessee since assignment here (i. e., in Mississippi). Your dispatch of the 5th instant is again a substantial repetition of the same statement, without a word of reason to justify it. You say, I conside

that Constitution with this people. Almost from the beginning, a large party in the North were against it; and as a Southern man, in passing, I may be excused for claiming, as I do, that the Constitution of the United States was mainly the work of Southern hands. It is true that the delegates from the Northern States joined us in the Convention of 1787 that made it; but the first programme, the outline of the Constitution as we now have it, was proposed by the distinguished member from Carolina, Mr. Pinckney. Another programme which was said to be the basis of the Constitution, was introduced by Mr. Randolph, of Virginia. The Northern men, with a few exceptions, did not favor that form of government. The Constitution, therefore, reserving sovereignty to the people, constituting a limited government, with an executive bound by law, with State sovereignty maintained to its fullest extent, with a judiciary bound by fundamental law, with every officer, from the highest to the lowes

108. impromptu on reading the President's message. by A. O'K. H. Not one common soldier or common sailor is known to have deserted his flag. --President Lincoln's War Message. I. Not one common soldier or sailor Has cravenly asked to secede; Nor cowardly ran, nor deserted Our flag in this hour of need! 'Twas the gentry of proud Carolina-- The haughty Virginian breed, Who in mansions reviled the old banner, Then fought it 'neath traitorous lead. II. “Who were they who stood firm by the country?” --Generations hereafter will read-- “Was it rank of the army and navy, Who were sworn on the cross and the creed? Was it those who were honored with office And fattening with placeman greed?” None of these--but the sailor and soldier! they stood by our flag in its need. III. Hurrah for the soldier and sailor! A nation shall now intercede To give them proud share of its plaudit, Wherever the Stars and Stripes lead! Aye! enrol them a legion of honor; Not grudgingly theirs be fame's meed

went — the hurricane's breath Was felt in our track, like the blast of death, But we had no thought of turning; Onward and onward the good fleet sped, Locked in its breast the secret dread, To break in gloom over treason's head, Where — we should soon be learning. But brave Dupont and Sherman knew Where the bolt should light, and each gallant crew Was ready to heed their orders. Port Royal, Ho!--and a bright warm day, We made the land many miles away, And sullenly there before us lay Fierce Carolina's borders. The mystery was all compassed then, And the hearts of sea-sick, weary men, Cheered up, the prospect viewing; There is that grit in the human mind, However gentle, or good, or kind, That is always to double its fist inclined, When near where a fight is brewing. The rebel guns waked a fearful note From our rifled cannon's open throat, And our shells flew fast and steady. The battle is over — the strife is done-- The Stars and Bars from the forts have run-- The blow is struck, and v<

Down with the hireling that seeks now to rend The homes which your ancestors fought to defend; Rekindle the beacon ere the last spark is fled, And light up the camp-fires round Liberty's bed! Ye sons of the sunny South, strike to be free! Fear not the Northern despot, nor his feeble frown, Who seeks through his minions the South to put down; Look to your God, from whence comes all power, And seek His aid and protection in each darkened hour. Strike again and again, O ye sons of the free! Carolina's sons to this platform have come: Protection to Liberty, to fireside and home, Their watchword to-day, as their fathers' of old; Truth, justice, and freedom, before Northern gold. Ye are sons of the fathers who bled to be free. Then loud ring the anvil, the hammer, and bell; The South her new anthem, say, what does it tell? Cotton, Grain, and Sugar, have proved threefold cord-- Columbia, the envied, the blest of the Lord. Sun of the sunny land, shine still o'er the free! On heaven's fair a

96. bombardment of forts Walker and Beauregard. by Isaac M'Clellan. Part I.--the arrival. I. Six-and-sixty gallant ships, tempest-toss'd By the angry seas assailed, well-nigh lost Off hostile Carolina's sandy coast, Spread the straining, daring sail; They had come from Northern shores far away, They had battled with old ocean's stormy spray, But triumphant still their course southward lay Through the equinoctial gale. II. Wild surges in mountainous billows rose, Wild the gale its majestic tting squadron their brave flag salute; The veteran sailor and the raw recruit Their deafening cheerings pour; Prone drops the flag from yonder rebel mast-- Soon to the breeze the Union Stars are cast; Avenged is Sumter's humbled flag at last, On Carolina's shore! XVII. Flag of our hearts, our symbol and our trust, Though treason trample thy bright folds in dust, Though dark rebellion, vile ambition's lust, Conspire to tear thee down; Millions of loyal lips will thee caress; Millions of loyal hea

roach, and seem to be merely watching us. If we start on Tuesday, in one week we shall be near Orangeburg, having broken up the Augusta road from the Edisto westward twenty or twenty-five miles. I will be sure that every rail is twisted. Should we encounter too much opposition near Orangeburg, then I will for a time neglect that branch, and rapidly move on Columbia, and fill up the triangle formed by the Congaree and Wateree (tributaries of the Santee), breaking up that great centre of the Carolina roads. Up to that point I feel full confidence, but from there may have to manoeuvre some, and will be guided by the questions of weather and supplies. You remember we had fine weather last February for our Meridian trip, and my memory of the weather at Charleston is, that February is usually a fine month. Before the March storms come we should be within striking distance of the coast. The months of April and May will be the best for operations from Goldsboroa to Raleigh and the Roano

expedient of passing a law under the name of an ordinance, this; provision and every other provision of it may be nullified, and every magistrate and officer in Carolina, whether of the State or Union, absolved from the oath which they have taken to support it? But this is not all. This secession ordinance purports to repeal ty, to attempt by ordinance to repeal any other event, as that the sun rose or that the tide ebbed and flowed on that day, as to repeal by ordinance the assent of Carolina to the Constitution. Again: it is well known that various amendments to the Constitution were desired and proposed in different States. The first of the amen poor boon of being starved into surrender; and because some laws had been passed somewhere, by which it was alleged that the return of some slaves (not one from Carolina) had been or might be obstructed, South Carolina, disclaiming the protection of courts and of Congress, which had never been withheld from her, has in-augurated

heir message to the impatient earth, And a nation rose, in its power and might, To prove that Virginia's heart was right; And every breast in that human tide, Throbs with a fuller, freer pride; Then a thousand voices they upraise, To shout forth Carolina's praise. Honor to Brave old Ruffin, to that true and faithful heart, The four-score years old patriot, who took the foremost part; But be the glory given, as to Carolina due, The bravest of the brave, and truest of the true, Oh, favored land,But unto Carolina be the glory evermore, For she hath done a bolder deed than e'er was done before. Aye, clothe her name with glory bright-- Around it throw a radiant light; For, oh! it is a glorious sight, This nation rising in the right; And Carolina well may claim The greatest, most unsullied name-- Brave, and magnanimous, and pure, Her fame will e'er remain, her power endure. Honor to them all — to each brave and gallant heart That manfully and earnestly will strive to do his part; But be
