as a support. In obedience to orders, we then advanced through an almost impenetrable abattis, dislodged and drove back a strong line of the enemy's skirmishers, and held their main line of breastworks until after dark, when we were ordered back to the church. In this charge Lieutenant E. S. Edwards, Company G, Twenty-eighth North Carolina, was killed. Lieutenant Edwards was regarded by Colonel Speer as one of his best officers. That night we commenced our march in the direction of Ashland. List of casualties in the charge on the 21st May: killed.wounded.missing.Total.aggregate.

On the 31st we were ordered to Storr's (or Stowe's) farm, on the Tottapottamoi creek, near Pole Green church, where we relieved Wofford's brigade. We were here engaged in very heavy skirmishing all that day, besides being subjected to a terrible artillery fire, losing about twenty killed and wounded. On the 1st of June we moved back and built a new line of works, the old one being held by a strong line of skirmishers.

privilege to let him have every horse he had, and to have saddled them for him, too. Jackson rode into Richmond so quietly that no one knew of his presence; had his interview with General Lee; received all of the instructions necessary to enable him to carry out his part of the great battle which was to culminate in McClellan's change of base, and galloped back to the head of his column before it was suspected that he had been absent at all. And now we hurried forward to bivouac near Ashland, in the slashes of Hanover, and to march the next day to our position on the flank, while A. P. Hill led his splendid Light division across the Chickahominy at Meadow Bridge and opened the great battle by advancing on the enemy at Mechanicsville. But of these battles, the part borne in them by the Foot cavalry and the masterly retreat made by McClellan in his change of base, I must speak in my next. I have only been able to give in this an imperfect sketch of how we were transferred f

n from the field by Lee's army. But I must return to the movements of the foot cavalry. General Lee's order of battle contemplated that Jackson should bivouac on the night of the 25th of June near the Central Railroad, eight miles east of Ashland, and to advance at 3 A. M. on the 26th, so as to turn the enemy's work at Mechanicsville and on Beaver Dam Creek and open the road for A. P. Hill, D. H. Hill and Longstreet to cross the Chickahominy and unite with him in sweeping down towards the York River railroad, and thus cut McClellan off from his base of supplies at the White House. But the burning of the bridges and the blockading of the roads by the enemy so impeded our march that we only reached the vicinity of Ashland that night, and were not able to move again until sunrise on the morning of the 26th, and even then we made such slow progress that we only reached Pole Green Church in the afternoon, just as that gallant soldier, A. P. Hill (impatient of further delay, and un
