I. Greer, and Sergeant R. W. Greer of the Washington Light Infantry of Charleston, S. C. marching upon their homes, and it was their duty to hurl them back at any cost! Such were the private soldiers of the Confederacy as I knew them. Not for fame or for glory, not lured by ambition or goaded by necessity, but, in simple obedience to duty as they understood it, these men suffered all, sacrificed all, dared all—and died! I would like to add a statement which

H. Williams, likewise dignified with the name of traitors. The former was still insane from the ill-treatment received while in charge of the troops. . .. Captain Brown had a rope tied around his arms so tightly, and drawn behind him, that he will for years bear the marks of the ropes where they wore into his flesh. He was then obliged to hold one end of a rope, the other end being carried by one of the Dragoons; and for eight miles, in a burning sun, he was driven before them. compelled to go fa
