hen a run for it, with the uneasy feeling of a probable volley in the back at any moment. It is said that there is but a step from the sublime to the ridiculous. In camp, while volunteers were falling into line for the expedition, W. E. Kyle called to a relative, J. K. Kyle, to come up to the front. Go on, Emmett, my boy, cried the latter; I glory in your spunk, but I have a wife and a stake in the country. A young fellow in the Chowan Light Infantry, when informed that we were about to charge the redoubt at the point of the bayonet, exclaimed in all the proud consciousness of a big tidewater plantation and hundreds of negroes, Hell! if the Confederacy is so bad off for guns I'll get father to buy half a dozen cannon for it.

At any rate, the scheme seemed so feasible that a picked body of men was formed, the volunteers being ignorant of their destination and being only forwarned that they were composing a forlorn hope.

Enfield Rifles, Southern Stars, Bertie Light Infantry, Chowan Light Infantry, Stuart's and Montague's Virginia Light Infantry, twelve dismounted men of Douthat's Virginia Cavalry.
