They soon retreated in disorder. Gordon had made a gallant advance and some progress, as also had Ripley and Colquitt's and Anderson's brigades. Peninsula Campaign, p. 160. The task was, however, too great for their unaided strength, and having done all that men dare do, they were driven back with frightful loss—a loss, perhaps, of not less than 2,000 men. Just as Hill drew off his shattered brigades, Magruder ordered in his forces on Hill's right. The brigades of Armistead, Wright, Mahone, G. T. Anderson, Cobb, Kershaw, Semmes, Ransom, Barksdale and Lawton threw themselves heavily, not all at once, but in succession, against their courageous and impregnably posted foes. Cobb's command included the Fifteenth North Carolina under Colonel Dowd. Ransom's brigade was solely a North Carolina one—the Twenty-fourth, Colonel Clark; the Twenty-fifth, Colonel Hill; the Twenty-sixth, Colonel Vance; the Thirty-fifth, Colonel Ransom; the Forty-ninth, Colonel Ramseur. General Hill says of

about it . . . . . and General Stuart, who was with me on the heights and had just come in from above, told me that he did not believe there was more than a brigade of the enemy. This brigade turned out to be Slocum's division of Franklin's corps, and Smith's division of the same corps was soon added. The gap at that time was held only by Colonel Munford with two regiments of cavalry, Chew's battery, and a section of the Portsmouth naval battery, supported by two fragments of regiments of Mahone's brigade, under Colonel Parham. Colonel Munford reports that the two infantry regiments numbered scarcely 300. This small band made a most determined stand for three hours, for it had been directed to hold the gap at all hazards, and did not know that it was fighting Franklin's corps. The action began about noon. Gen. Howell Cobb with his brigade, consisting of the Fifteenth North Carolina regiment and three Georgia regiments, left Brownsville, two miles from the gap, about 5 o'clock, to

—Mahone's and Posey's—already there. These two brigades had been stationed at Bark Hill ford (or United States ford). As the crossing of the enemy flanked their position, they retired with a view to check his advance on the Confederate flank. Mahone's Report. General Anderson took position at the intersection of the mine and plank roads, near Tabernacle church, and began to intrench himself. As Anderson withdrew from Chancellorsville to take this position, his rear guard was attacked by Federal cavalry, but this was soon driven off by Mahone's brigade. Up to this point no North Carolina troops were on the field. By this time, General Lee was satisfied that Hooker's objective point was his flank; so leaving Early's division, Barksdale's brigade and part of the reserve artillery under Pendleton, to guard his lines at Fredericksburg, he ordered McLaws to move toward Anderson's position at midnight on the 30th, and Jackson to move at dawn. General Jackson reached Anderson's hasty w

At that time, only the divisions of Hoke, Johnson and Mahone were in the trenches. The mine was under Johnson's portio the breach, arrived at the same time with two brigades of Mahone's division. These reinforcements began to form in rear ofam's salient to charge the Federals in the breach. While Mahone was still forming, the Federals advanced on him. He, says rolina . . . gallantly joined, moving upon the left of General Mahone's line.

broken April 2d, he rushed down his line on foot, and seizing a musket joined in the fire upon the enemy, until his troops, encouraged by his coolness, were able to recover the greater part of their lines. During the retreat from Petersburg he was almost constantly in battle; at Sailor's Creek saved himself by riding his horse through the stream and up the precipitous banks amid a shower of bullets, and on the next day led his division in a splendid charge which captured the guns taken from Mahone and many Federal prisoners, winning the compliments of General Lee. Bushrod Johnson's division was now added to his command, and on April 9th the other two divisions of the corps, Evans' and Walker's, were put under his command, he having volunteered to make the attack to clear the road toward Lynchburg. He was successful in driving the enemy from his front, but after receiving repeated orders to withdraw fell back to his original line, and was then informed of the proposed surrender. At
