We were sent immediately over to the battery in front of the quarters of the North Carolinians, where we remained but one hour, and then started for a trench about a quarter of a mile distant, which was commenced by our men the day before, (Sunday.) On arriving there, we went immediately to work throwing up breastworks, and so continued until the enemy were in a quarter of a mile of us, when we were ordered to our arms: After remaining in this trench a short time, I heard the crack of a rifle, which Lt.
