h a view of taking the rifle-pits of the enemy at the point of the bayonet. Before this could be accomplished, and at a distance not exceeding 30 yards, a most rapid, galling and destructive fire was opened, telling with fearful effect upon our men who were advancing to make the assault. As a result of this heavy fire, all the Federal regiments participating were soon withdrawn. The total Federal loss in this engagement was 165. The Fifteenth North Carolina lost its colonel, of whom General McLaws said, He was pure in all his thoughts and just in all his acts. In addition, 12 men were killed and 31 wounded. In this retreat up the Peninsula, retiring from one intrenchment to another, the North Carolina soldiers, in common with all their comrades from other States, suffered unusual hardships. General Magruder gives this account of the situation in the trenches: From the 4th of April till the 3d of May this army served almost without relief in the trenches. Many companies of ar

y to follow their colors. General Lee's order of battle was that when Armistead, who occupied the highest ground, should see that the artillery made any break in the Federal front, he should charge with a shout, and the other brigades, on hearing his advance, should simultaneously attack. Perhaps, if according to this order, all the Confederates had assaulted Malvern hill in concert, the issue might have been less disastrous to them. However, of the ten divisions present, only those of McLaws, D. R. Jones and Huger, all under Magruder, on the right, and that of D. H. Hill, in the center, dashed against those guns; and these two forces attacked separately. Three of Armistead's regiments were ordered by him to drive in the Federal skirmishers in his front. In their ardor, says General Armistead, they went too far. Wright's Georgia brigade advanced to support Armistead, but the gallant little force was soon driven to the shelter of a ravine, not, however, before the noise of th

eme left of Longstreet. His line reached from Taylor's hill to the foot of Marye's hill. There, in the famous sunken road behind a stone wall, Cobb's brigade of McLaws' division was posted. On the left of Cobb and on the prolongation of his line, the Twenty-fourth North Carolina stood. General Ransom was in charge of a North Carolina division of eight regiments, and this was assigned place behind McLaws on the reserve line, and immediately behind the crest of Marye's and Willis' hills. The immediate care of this important point was committed to General Ransom. The eight regiments of this division formed two brigades, one Ransom's own, the other Cook reserve. Marye's hill was occupied by the Washington artillery; the reserve artillery was on its right and left. The division batteries of Anderson, Ransom and McLaws, including Manly's North Carolina battery, were stationed along the line. On Jackson's front, fourteen pieces of artillery, including a section of Latham's batte

In the peninsular campaign in Virginia and at Second Manassas his regiment was a part of Howell Cobb's brigade, first under the division command of Magruder and later of McLaws. At Sharpsburg he commanded the brigade, reduced to 250 men, repelled three assaults of the enemy, and fell back when he had but 50 men left and the ammunition was exhausted. At Fredericksburg he fought with his regiment at Marye's hill. Immeptember he was commissioned brigadier-general and assigned by General Magruder to command of one of the brigades on the Yorktown, Va., lines.

He took a prominent part in the defense of Yorktown, and in command of a brigade of Alabama and Georgia regiments participated in the battles of Williamsburg and Seven Pines. In the latter conflict he made an opportune flank movement under
