In the engagement of this day I regret to report a loss of five hundred and seventy-seven killed, wounded and missing. Among the seriously wounded and known to be in the hands of the enemy, I may mention Colonel Forney, Tenth Alabama regiment. This officer, not yet well of a wound received at Williamsburg, received a flesh wound in the arm and chest while charging a line of the enemy on the turnpike, but he still pressed onward and soon his right arm was shattered. He yet refused to quit the field and fell with a wound in the foot, in the ravine near the rear-most lines of the enemy. Colonel Pinckard, Fourteenth Alabama, had rejoined his regiment but two days before this battle, having been absent by reason of a severe wound received at Salem church, had his left arm badly broken; Captai

riginally prepared for General E. P. Alexander,. who kindly turned it over to us along with other-valuable Mss.] Farmington, April 20, 1868. Dear Sir — At your request, I submit the following account of the operations of my regiment at Williamsburg, May 5th, 1862. The disposition of the brigade on the morning of that day was as follows: Jenkins' regiment (Palmetto sharpshooters) occupied Fort Magruder, and the Fourth and Fifth regiments the smaller works on either flank of the fort. e, following this regiment, withdrew from the field, and rejoining my brigade, took the position I had originally occupied in the morning. I have never, on any field during the war, seen more splendid gallantry exhibited than on that field of Williamsburg, but that splendid gallantry was thrown away and wasted by bad management, when it would have been entirely effective if properly directed. This was, I will add, the first and last time that I ever asked for a place in a charge — a pardonable

friend, who called my attention to a paper purporting to be a narrative of Colonel Bratton, Sixth South Carolina regiment, of the operations of his regiment at Williamsburg, May 5th, 1862. This paper seems to have been written in 1868, and was originally prepared for General E. P. Alexander. The paper does not confine itself to would have been effective. The language of Colonel Bratton is: I have never, on any field during the war, seen more splendid gallantry than on that field of Williamsburg, but that splendid gallantry was thrown away, and wasted by bad management, when it would have been entirely effective if properly directed. The compliment ised. It is very certain that if a sacrifice was needed for the cause, the lot could not have fallen more appropriately than on the brave and faithful men and officers of the Fifth North Carolina regiment who fell upon that field. D. K. McRae, Colonel Fifth North Carolina, Commanding Early's Brigade, May 5, 1862, at Williamsburg.

d the works at that point. This movement was made rapidly and continued till the left of Field rested just beyond the Williamsburg road. Johnson's and Haskell's battalions of artillery were moved with the infantry, and placed in suitable positions along the line. When the head of the column reached the Williamsburg road, the enemy were already advancing a strong line of skirmishers on the works at that point. They were handsomely repulsed by our advance, by a portion of General Gary's commanocated himself when an attack in very heavy force was attempted on his front, over the open ground on each side of the Williamsburg road. This was repulsed with ease, and small loss to ourselves, but with heavy loss to the enemy, in killed, wounded pectfully, your obedient servant, J. Longstreet, Lieutenant-General.
