enemy were held in check, when just at this moment Captain McComas was killed by a minieball, and his men, who for four hours had fought with most indomitable courage, became panic-stricken and left the field, taking their pieces with them. Colonel Wright succeeded in rallying them and getting two pieces and a few men in position, and the enemy had advanced so close that canister was fired on them with effect, and they again fell back. The ammunition in the limber boxes was exhausted, and during the temporary absence of Colonel Wright the artillery left the field. The enemy made a charge upon our line, but the steady fire at close distance caused them to break in confusion, and they fell back. The Confederate forces were the 3d Georgia, some drafted militia under Colonel Ferebee, McComas's battery, and Gillette's company of cavalry. The Confederate loss was 6 killed, 19 wounded, and 3 prisoners. The Union forces were the 6th New Hampshire, 21st Massachusetts, 9th and 89th New

I emptied one revolver. At Round Point I shot one man; at Dallas I wounded another. I captured eight men on Hickory Ridge; I told them I was going to shoot them, but their soldiers recaptured them before I could do so. I have killed six or seven men; I killed my cousin; I ordered him to halt — he would not, and I shot him down. Governor Yates, of Illinois, issued a proclamation, saying that that State, under every call, had exceeded her quota, a

Smith, Solomon Smith, John Sparhawk, Edward Stanley, Michael Stanley, Jonathan Stedman,——Webber, William Woodhouse. I have gleaned from the muster rolls, preserved in the State House, the names of probably only a portion of the Cambridge officers and privates who served in that war. Of officers, Capt. Thomas Adams, Capt. William Angier, Lieut. Leonard Jones, and Ensigns Joseph Chadwick and John Dickson. Of staff and noncommissioned officers, Samuel Dean, Chaplain; Francis Moore, Surgeon; John Wright, Surgeon's Mate; Daniel Barrett, Downing Champney, John Demont, Benjamin Manning, Abraham Osborn, and James Lanman, Sergeants; William Baldwin, Jason Batherick and William Butterfield, Corporals. Somewhat more than one hundred names of private soldiers are preserved; and although the list is probably far from perfect, it is inserted in a note.
