Here he received his first wound, a fragment of shell striking him on the head. He refused, however, to avail himself of leave of absence, and within a fortnight was on duty with his battery.

the heroic resistance of this small force at South Mountain Pass and Crampton's Gap, held McClellan in check, until Jackson, by tremendous forced marches, having accomplished the object of his detour, was able to rejoin it, and Lee was thus enabled at last to concentrate his army for the battle of Sharpsburg. The accident of the lost order, however, destroyed the chance of that success which might otherwise have attended this brilliantly planned expedition. The divisions with Lee reached Sharpsburg worn and fatigued, and with ranks decimated by the severe fighting they had undergone, while the extraordinary forced marches to which Jackson was driven, had strewed his route with exhausted and brokendown men. Lee delivered battle in this engagement with thirty-five thousand men, worn out and exhausted as we have seen, against eighty-seven thousand under McClellan. The result was a drawn battle, both sides resting on their arms the following day, on the night of which Lee, quietly an

It had fought the battles of Kernstown, McDowell, Front Royal, Winchester August 30th (constituting the campaign of Northern Virginia), Harper's Ferry, Boonesboroa and Sharpsburg (constituting in part the campaign in Maryland). History does not record a series of battles lafterwards an assistant surgeon, killed at Fredericksburg, marched barefooted from Manassas to Sharpsburg.

n rank very distasteful. In open defiance of well known army regulations he did not hesitate, on more than one occasion, to criticise, publicly and severely, military movements and instructions which did not commend themselves to his approbation. To such an extent did this show of insubordination obtain that he was suspended from the command of his brigade to await the determination of charges preferred. He resumed his command, however, at the memorable battle of Second Manassas, and at Sharpsburg held the bridge with the courage and pertinacity of a modern Horatius. In the latter engagement he was wounded. In both battles he behaved with conspicuous gallantry, and received the commendation of General Lee. On the 4th of March, 1863, he resigned his commission in the army and returned to Georgia.

The historic battle of Sharpsburg or Antietam—this great battle as General Lee called it in his report—occurred on the 17th day of September, three days after the fight at South Mountain, and D. H. Hill's division, with Anderson's brigade othat one of the truest and bravest men that ever lived had the wound of death upon him. He was taken into Virginia, and when the army fell back he was brought—with his brother and aide-de-camp, Captain Walker Anderson who was also wounded at Sharpsburg, and was afterwards killed at the Wilderness—to Raleigh, arriving in the latter part of September. His wound was a most painful one, and he suffered great agony for two weeks after reaching here. Finally amputation was decided upon, but it w
