ments of Clingman's brigade, and ten pieces of artillery, advanced on New Bern by the Dover road. General Pickett, in his official report, states his plan of operations as follows: Barton with his cavalry was to have cut the railroad and cross Brice's creek, taking the forts on the banks of the Neuse, and pass across the railroad bridge; effectually, should he only succeed in the first, cutting off reinforcements. Dearing, by taking Fort Anderson, would have a direct fire on the town and ann them, but no assault was ordered. General Pickett reports: There was unfortunately no co-operation, the other parties having failed to attack, and I found we were making the fight single-handed. General Barton reported that he could not cross Brice's creek to carry out his part of the plan. General Pickett waited one day for him and then retired his forces, and the expedition from which North Carolinians had hoped much, came to an unsuccessful close.

ught about this commotion on that dark, sleety night, and made Kilpatrick give up his last chance of accomplishing his mission, was composed of a small band of North Carolina cavalry. General Hampton learned from citizens that a cavalry force was heading for the Central railroad, and he reports: As soon as I could learn what direction the enemy had taken, I sent all the mounted men from the North Carolina cavalry (Colonel Cheek), and 53 from the Second (Major Andrews), with Hart's battery to Mount Carmel church. The next morning General Hampton joined the command and moved down to strike the enemy. At Atlee's station, about midnight, General Hampton sent Colonel Cheek to see what force the enemy had. Colonel Cheek took 200 of his regiment and 30 of the Second. He found Sawyer's brigade lying down, many of them asleep. Bringing a section of artillery, he endeavored to get the pieces in position, but one mired so that it was useless. Then dismounting 150 men under Captain Blair, C

sses assaulted and boarded the gunboat Underwriter, lying just under the guns of the forts.. The men under Wood were exposed to a hot fire on approaching the boat, and, after boarding, they became at once engaged in a desperate hand-to-hand cutlass and pistol fight with the Underwriter's crew. Wood finally captured the vessel, but had to burn it. Few more daring deeds than this were done during the war. On the 28th of January, Gen. J. G. Martin, commanding the Forty-second regiment, Col. J. E. Brown; the Seventeenth regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel Lamb; a cavalry force under Colonel Jackson and Lieutenant-Colonel Jeffords, four pieces of the Ellis battery of Moore's battalion (accompanied by the major), and Paris' battery, set out from Wilmington to attack the garrison at Newport barracks, near Shepherdsville. That post was defended by the Ninth Vermont regiment, a Massachusetts heavy battery, and two companies of cavalry. On the 2d of February, General Martin made the attack suc

Cooke is a just one. No boat could have been built under more difficulties than was the Albemarle, as Cooke named his new venture, and its construction shows the difficulties under which the Confederates waged a long war. It was designed by Gilbert Elliott. The prow, which was used as a ram, was of oak sheathed with iron; its back was turtle-shaped and protected by 2-inch iron. Cooke had ransacked the whole country for iron, until, says Maffitt, he was known as the Ironmonger captain. The en the early hours of the 19th of April, she dropped down the river and passed the fort at Warren's neck, under a furious fire. The protection from the shield was so complete that the shot from the guns at Warren sounded to those on board, says Elliott, no louder than pebbles against a barrel. In the rear of Fort Williams, the Albemarle saw two Federal gunboats lashed together. These were the Southfield and the Miami, under the brilliant C. W. Flusser. Immediately the Albemarle dashed nine

ng out the order. Roman's Life of Beauregard, II, p. 199, Note. The effect that may be produced by the daring battle of a small force was most clearly shown by the attack of 306 North Carolina horsemen upon Kilpatrick's cavalry at Atlee's station near Richmond. On the 28th of February, General Kilpatrick was ordered by the Federal government to take 3,000 cavalrymen and six pieces of artillery and make a dash upon Richmond, then but slightly guarded. He was to be accompanied by Col. Ulric Dahlgren, and the avowed object of the movement was to liberate the Federal prisoners at Belle island, and do such other damage as time and means would allow. General Kilpatrick, acting upon his orders, moved so rapidly and unexpectedly that on the 1st of March he reached the immediate neighborhood of Richmond without his movement being disclosed. By a feigned attack at Ashland, Kilpatrick succeeded in throwing the Confederates off his track, and captured the pickets and a small force in t
