Subsequently he was given command of the Southern department, coast defense, with headquarters at Wilmington, and being promoted brigadier-general in August, 1861, was assigned to command of the department of North Carolina and the coast defenses of the State. Very soon afterward Fort Hatteras was taken by the Federals, and he made energetic preparations for the defense of New Bern. He located his headquarters at Goldsboro in September, Gen. J. R. Anderson having charge under him of coast defenses, and organized troops and prepared for resisting invasion. Upon his suggestion an additional coast district was formed and Gen. D. H. Hill put in command.

It was still 1862; the war was still young; the carnage within bounds; the people cheerful; and great gaps spoiled not yet the stately ranks of that noble army which, beginning at Bull Run, July, 1861, was to end a conflict of many victories in one long, final fame-crowned retreat, April, 1865. On July 26th the First regiment, Wright's brigade, the Ninth, Taylor's brigade, the Fifteenth (late Third Louisiana battalion, of Anderson's brigade), and Coppens' battalion, Pryor's brigade; were ordered to General McLaws, to constitute in connection with the Second and Tenth regiments, a brigade of that division. Thus was formed the Second Louisiana brigade of the army of Northern Virginia. General Taylor was assigned as its commander by this order, but Col. Leroy A.

Orr's Rifles lost during the summer quite a number of men by disease; nineteen of Company G, died in the hospital with fever. June, July and August quite a number were unable for duty during the campaign of the summer. Some time in June, Orr's Rifles were transferred from J. R. Anderson's brigade to Gregg's brigade. The brigade was now composed of 1st, 12th, 13th, 14th and Orr's Rifles. During the month of June we were quiet, until the 25th, when we received orders to prepare for a move. Rations were issued and cooked and all made ready for a march. Soon after dark we formed line. And our Chaplain, Rev. H. T. Sloan, offered an earnest prayer, asking the God of battles to be with us in the conflict that was soon to come. We moved out of camp early in the night an
