n open field where we halted and awaited orders. The thirst of the men was intense and almost intolerable. At this place, a half mile behind our original position, amid the bursting of shells and the ratting storm of musketry, our heroic General Bee rode up to the regiment and inquired what body of troops we were. Being told that "it was what remained of the 4th Alabama," he replied, with an expressive gesture, "this is all of my brigade that I can find — will you follow me back to wher and particularly during that portion of it when they were actually engaged, the officers and men exhibited the most admirable coolness and gallantry.

Bee was killed at the head of this regiment, after which Capt. Goldsby took command. Without making any comparison as to the valor of men from different States, we may safely say that upon a field where the volunteers from Virginia to Texas fought like brave and chivalric soldiers, none can lay claim to more gallant deeds than the modest sons of our Southern sister, Alabama.
