Ewell's division was moved into position on Schoolhouse hill, and other batteries were placed. On the 15th, all the guns on both sides opened with much noise and little destruction. Just as General Pender prepared to move his infantry forward in assault, a white flag was displayed, and General White, the commanding officer, surrendered 11,000 men, 73 pieces of artillery, 13,000 small-arms, and other stores.

and how General Martin contended for its adoption, Major Gordon proceeds: The governor reserved his decision that night, but when asked for it next day, he authorized General Martin to buy the ship and clothing for the troops, and signed sufficient bonds for this purpose. The next thing for the adjutant-general to do was to get a man of ability and responsibility to be sent as agent to England. The governor made no suggestion on this point. On the recommendation of Major Hogg, Mr. (John) White, of Warrenton, was selected as State agent to go abroad to purchase the ship and supplies, and Col. Tom Crossan was sent to command the ship, and well did they perform this and every other duty intrusted to them by the State. In due time the steamer Lord Clyde, afterward named the Advance, arrived safely in Wilmington with supplies for the troops. Governor Vance got a great deal of credit forth is; General Martin, who was the real author of it, practically none. From this time forward it

Roberts the Second, Colonel Baker (until his capture) the Third, Maj. J. H. McNeill the Fifth. Dearing's independent brigade included the Fourth under Colonel Ferebee, and the Sixteenth battalion under Lieut.-Col. J. T. Kennedy. The brigade of Barringer was engaged at Fisher's, White Oak swamp and White's tavern. At White Oak swamp, after General Chambliss was killed, Gen. W. H. F. Lee formed a new line with the First and Second regiments and made good his battle. On the 21st of August, all four of Barringer's regiments were engaged with Mahone on the Weldon road. After a preliminary success, the cavalry was forced to follow the retirement of the infantry. At Reams' Station, Gen. W. H. F. Lee was about sick and General Barringer commanded his division, Col. W.

The Ninth corps was coming back from Vicksburg. But the men, worn out by the climate, had need of rest. Burnside could not wait for them. As soon as they had got near the limits of his lines he determined to obey Halleck's pressing injunctions. The forces of the expedition were composed of two divisions, Hascall's and White's, forming the Twenty-third corps, and of Shackelford's division of cavalry, comprising Carter's, Wolford's, and Foster's brigades — in all, some twenty thousand men. To these forces the Confederate general Buckner, who had been sent to Knoxville some months before after the death of General Donelson, could oppose about the same number of combatants. Between Knoxville and Kingston were two divisions of infantry, a part of which, it is true, was ill—armed and poorly equipped. Besides, Gener
