s residence as an army officer among the Southern people had caused him to become identified with the South in sentiment. He regarded Alabama as his State, and, upon her secession, determined to espouse her cause. Accordingly he resigned his commission as captain in the army of the United States and, accepting from his adopted State the commission of lieutenant-colonel, was placed in command of Fort Morgan. Later he was made a brigadier-general in the army of the Confederate States (February 27, 1862) and sent into east Tennessee. When the Union army was moving upon Chattanooga in 1862, General Leadbetter was engaged in quite a spirited affair at Bridgeport, in which, although the Confederates were worsted, considerable delay was caused to the movements of the enemy. His skill as an engineer caused him to be sent soon afterward to superintend the construction of the defenses of Mobile. In 1863 he was for a short time chief of the engineer department of the army of Tennessee, and

Battle of Roanoke Island. （our own Correspondent.） Monument Hotel, Richmond, Feb. 27, 1862. The night of February 7th was dark and rainy. The bombardment was over. By eight o'clock the war-ships were but dimly seen, their black sides looming up against the dusky sky beyond. A little later their positions were only designated by the signal lights, which, for fear of accidents, were hung in the rigging. Our gunboats when last seen were near the channel barricade, still in line of battle and still presenting a bold front to the formidable enemy. Finding there was no more ammunition on the fleet, or not enough for another day's fight, Commodore Lynch was forced to leave the field. He sent a boat on shore to communicate the fact to Col. Shaw, but received no reply. As dark as the night was, the boats made their way up the channel towards Elizabeth City where a final stand was to be made. The command of Commodore Lynch was upon Albemarle and Pamlico founds, and he therefore
