few dragoons could be brought into array. Sumter could not, by all his exertions, bring his troops to close action. The spoils of the camp and the free use of spirits lost Sumter the fruits of his brilliant victory. Most of our wounded were taken immediately home from the field of battle. To those who remained on the field, Esther Gaston was again the ministering angel. Howe's History of the Presbyterian Church, p. 537. Captain McLure was killed; Colonel Hill, Major Winn, and Lieutenant Crawford, and young Joseph Gaston, but sixteen years of age, were wounded. Parton, in his Life of Jackson, tells us that the Jackson boys— Andrew, then thirteen years of age, and his brother Robert, a little older—rode with Davie on this expedition. The future hero of New Orleans had seen the effects of war when assisting his mother to attend the wounded at Waxhaw church in May. Here, at Hanging Rock, in August, he first saw battle itself. Then followed the disastrous battle of Camden,

and Captain Lee had made their report, we received the order of General Beauregard, through the Signal Corps, to evacuate the fort.

The order of General Beauregard did not fix the dery (Companies C and E) were ordered to march in from the sand hills. This, no doubt, created the impression on the enemy that the garrison was being changed, and that fresh troops were coming in to take the place of those on duty. At dusk, Captain Crawford, with the Twenty-eighth Georgia, moved out of the fort. This regiment took with them a 12-pound howitzer to be used (if occasion required) by the Twenty-seventh Georgia in covering the embarkation of the troops at Cummins Point. This duty

ted from the familiar great or broad seal of the late Confederate States of America, and it may be assumed that there will scarce be division in sentiment as to its peculiar appropriateness as the insignia of the body charged with the just preservation of the muniments of that obliterated government and quieted cause. The seal, which is one and one-half of an inch in diameter, may be thus described: a soldier mounted—the horse in motion (adapted from the equestrian statue of Washington, by Crawford, in the ground of the State Capitol of Virginia), within a circle. This circle surrounded with a wreath composed of the staple vegetable productions of the Southern States—corn, wheat, cotton, tobacco and sugar—and within outer circles the legend, the Southern Historical Society, organ-Ized May I, 1869, and the motto, Deo vindice, with the further inscription, within the smaller circle and immediately above the equestrian figure, Re-organized August 15, 1873.
