mate estimate. Whilst these operations were going on the left wing of our army, a scarcely less severe fight was progressing on the right, where the division of Gen. Huger was engaged. The brigades of Mahone and Armistead had been exerting themselves against a largely overwhelming force of the enemy, but being compelled to fall back in order to rest their men. Gen. Ranson's brigade was ordered forward. It consisted of five regiments, viz: 24th, Col. Clark; 25th, Col. Kutledge, 26th, Col. Vance; 35th, Col. Ransom, and 49th, Col. Ramseur, all North Carolina troops. They were ordered to charge two heavy batteries, that were supported by not less than five Federal brigades, and all the while they were marching up to make the charge were under three fires. They did not falter, however, but went forward into the very teeth of the enemy without so much as the slightest indication of hesitation.

Ransom, being on the field, directed their movements in person. Through the whole afternoon the musketry was terrific, and the Minie balls came whistling by us constantly, while now and then a sing and yelling like Indians, but many of them will never yell again; and the whole of them were twice driven back, (for they repeated the experiment,) and dared not make a third attempt. These latter demonstrations were made against the 26th, Col. Vance, and the 35th, Col. Ransom. They threw shell and grape, however, repeatedly during the night, and a grape shot was found the next morning within a few feet of where the General and his staff had slept during the night.
