eavy loss, capturing Lieutenant-Colonel Kane, commanding. In commemoration of this gallant conduct, I ordered one of the captured bucktails to be appended, as a trophy, to their flag. The action is worthy of acknowledgment from a higher source, more particularly as they avenged the death of the gallant General Ashby, who fell at the same time. Four color-bearers were shot down in succession, but each time the colors were caught before reaching the ground; and were finally borne by Corporal Daniel Shanks to the close of the action. On the 8th instant, at Cross Keys, they were opposed to three of the enemy's regiments in succession. The order of General Ewell, directing that one of the bucktails captured by the regiment should be appended to their colors, is as follows: General orders, no. 30.headquarters Third division.

ommanding General thanks Lieutenant-Colonel Steuart and the Maryland regiment for the faithful and exact manner in which they carried out his orders of the 19th instant at Harper's Ferry. He is glad to learn that, owing to their discipline, no private property was injured and no unoffending citizen disturbed. The soldierly qualities of the Maryland regiment will not be forgotten in the day of action. By order of General Joseph E. Johnston. W. H. Whiting, Inspector-General. General G. T. Beauregard, in his letter to Mr. J. Thomas Scharf under date of November 5th, 1873, published in the Baltimore Chronicle, thus speaks of the First Maryland's participation in the battle of the first Manassas: At the battle of the first Manassas the First Maryland regiment contributed greatly to the success of that battle, by checking the flanking movement of the Federals until Early's brigade could get into position to outflank them. The officers and men of that Maryland regiment behaved

Maryland troops in the Confederate service. By Lamar Hollyday. The July (1876) number of the Southern Historical Society papers contains a letter from General J. A. Early on the Relative strength of the armies of Generals Lee and Grant, in which he says that State (Maryland) furnished to the Confederate army only one organized regiment of infantry for one year, and several companies of artillery and cavalry which served through the whole war. The Confederate roster, also published in t battle of Cold Harbor: near Richmond, June 6th, 1864. Mr. Editor---The public have already been informed, through the columns of the public journals, of the great results of the late engagements between the forces of General Lee and General Grant; but they have not yet learned the particulars, which are always most interesting, and in some instances, owing to the confusion which generally attends large battles, they have been misinformed on some points. It is now known by the public

Early on the Relative strength of the armies of Generals Lee and Grant, in which he says that State (Maryland) furnishedyland regiment contributed greatly to the success of that battle, by checking the flanking movement of the Federals until Early's brigade could get into position to outflank them. The officers and men of that Maryland regiment behaved with much gal constantly on the move, and made two very severe marches to Moorefield in West Virginia. In June, 1863, they joined General Early at Kernstown, and opened the battle at that point preparatory to attacking Winchester. That General, in his officialport of the Gettysburg campaign, gives additional evidence of the existence of the command. He says: On the 13th, I sent Early's division and Colonel Brown's artillery battalion (under Captain Dance) to Newtown, on the Valley pike, where they were

series of other engagements of greater or less importance, ending with the battle of Cold Harbor early in June, and I take pleasure in saying that its conduct throughout was not merely creditable, but distinguished. Not being incorporated in any brigade, it came more frequently under my eye, and I presently fell into the habit of holding it in hand for occasions of special need. For instance, at Cold Harbor, where a point in my line was very weak, and was actually broken for a time by General Hancock's troops, the Maryland battalion and Finnegan's Florida brigade (the latter borrowed from General Hoke for the occasion) aided decisively to restore the situation, and behaved with the greatest intrepidity. * * Not in courage only, but also in discipline, tone and all soldierly qualities they were equal to any troops I saw during the war. The following appeared in the Richmond Sentinel a few days after the battle of Cold Harbor: near Richmond, June 6th, 1864. Mr. Editor---Th
