Although in the same corps, it so happened that I did not meet General Ramseur from 4th May, 1864, until the evening of 18th October, 1864. At that time General Sheridan was on the left of Cedar creek, that empties into the Shenandoah a short distance below Strasburg. General Early, who was then at Fisher's Hill, determined to attack. Preparatory to the movement, all the general officers were summoned to headquarters on the evening of the 18th of October. After the business for which we had been summoned had been disposed of, I spoke to General Ramseur of his report of the battle of Chancellorsville, so far as it concerned the Stonewall brigade. At this time I was in command of it. He said the campaign had been so active since May that he had not been able to correct his report, but that he w

to retire behind the breastworks. The regiments to my left, following my movement, also fell back. To show the terrific fire to which we were exposed, I will state that I went into that fight with three hundred and fifty muskets, and in less than ten minutes I had one hundred and sixty men killed and wounded. We had remained behind the breastworks some time, when General J. E. B. Stuart, who, upon the fall of Jackson and the wounding of A. P. Hill, had been called to the command of Jackson's corps, rode in front of the line where the Stonewall Brigade was, and called for it. They responded, they were there—Stuart ordered an advance. The order was given, and I state positively, after recent conversations with men and officers of the Fourth Virginia infantry, that notwithstanding the terrible ordeal through which they had only a short time before that passed, every man, not wounded, sprang to his place in ranks. There being now a continuous line of battle and properly support

All who were engaged or took an interest in the movements of the army, will remember how active the campaign of 1864 was. Readers will remember General Grant's flank movement from the Rapidan to reach Richmond. After second Cold Harbor General Early was detached with his corps. He met Hunter in front of Lynchburg, and drove him back into West Virginia. Early then moved down the Valley; fought the battle of Monocacy and advanced even to the defences of Washington city. He then retired into Virginia, and over into the Valley. Many small affairs took place in the Valley between the armies of General Early and General Sheridan. The armies were constantly in motion. 1 will not go into details of this service. Those who desire full and accurate information are referred to histories on the subject.

The Stonewall brigade at Chancellorsville. by General William Terry. It has recently come to my knowledge that Captain Landon, in a memorial address at Raleigh, North Carolina, made the statement that in the battle of Chancellorsville, in May, 1863, a certain famous brigade behaved in a most cowardly manner, and refused to advance when ordered to do so. I have no defence to make for that brigade, nor do I know them. Captain Landon did not name the brigade to which he referred, but I am informed that he stated afterwards that he referred to the Stonewall Brigade. This is a total mistake, and does the grossest injustice to as brave a body of men as ever carried a musket. So far as the part taken by that brigade in that engagement is concerned, I am entirely familiar with it, as I commanded the Fourth Virginia infantry, one of its regiments, and therefore know, from personal observation, what I write. I need not go over the history of General Jackson's flank movement and i

Wade, Captain Commanding Skirmishers. I certify that the within are the only officers of the Fourth Virginia infantry who were in the battle of Chancellorsville, 3d May, 1863, who are now with the regiment, and that the facts stated by these officers (except the statement of Captain Wade, who was in command of the skirmishers, of which I have no personal knowledge, but whom I fully endorse as a gentleman of veracity) are true, and I further state that my colors at no time during the engageving who can answer, should they ever see this article. I then explained to General Ramseur the position of our skirmishers in the morning and the orders that Captain Wade had. It was then perfectly apparent to General Ramseur that the men that he spoke to, standing at intervals, were some of the skirmishers of the Stonewall Brig
