g the battle of Cold Harbor. Subsequently he was in command of a battalion of three batteries on the Petersburg lines until the explosion of the Crater, when he was desperately wounded, causing his disability until February, 1865. On returning to duty he was assigned to the command of heavy artillery at Chapin's Bluff until the evacuation. On the retreat he marched in command of his artillery force as infantry, 500 strong, until ordered to turn over his men to Major Styles and assist Colonel Hardaway with his command of light artillery, with which he was surrendered at Appomattox. While in command at Chapin's Bluff he was recommended for promotion by General Lee, but never received his commission. After the close of hostilities he was variously employed, mainly in farming, until 1877, when he was appointed treasurer of Richland county, an office to which he was re-elected three times. During the administration of President Cleveland and for several months afterward he held the o

Lieutenant-Colone Braxton and Page were relieved by Nelson and Hardaway, the former occupying the positions on Johnso overrunning and capturing Smith's battery of Hardaway's battalion. Our infantry was soon rallied, his men were made prisoners and carried off. Hardaway's guns were principally engaged in this attac In this attack the gallant Major Watson, of Hardaway's battalion, was mortally wounded. Lieutenantnel Hardaway was also wounded, but did not leave the field. On the 11th, Cutshaw's and Page's batught up and put in position, and a portion of Hardaway's battalion was relieved.

Gooch joined the battery, transferred from First regiment of engineers. The next original record found, which seems to have been made while the battery was in Hardaway's Battalion at New Market Heights, June 30, 1864, is very indistinct. The paper is a very poor specimen of the Confederate make; the ink has faded, and the handwriting not as eligible as Horace Greeley's. We purport it about as follows: It remained near Barboursville from 30th April till 4th May, when it left camp at 4 P. M., and marched fourteen miles to a place three miles beyond Orange Courthouse; 5th, to Mine run; 6th, to Locust Grove, and that night rejoined the regiment, distance

he division immediately formed line, faced to the rear, about one-third of the distance down the hill, Crutchfield's Brigade on the right. But before the line was formed, and while the greater part of the troops were yet moving to their position, the enemy opened fire with case, shells, and canister. The 18th Georgia was on the extreme right of the brigade; next stood the Chaffin's Bluff troops, Major Robert Stiles. In consequence of the transfer of Major Gibbes on the day previous, to Hardaway's Battalion of Artillery, the command of these two battalions had devolved on myself. The conformation of the ground was such that I could see distinctly only these two battalions after getting into position. Consequently, whatever I have to state further relates to them alone. The different battalions moved up successively from right to left. No sooner were the colors of the 18th Georgia and Chaffin's Bluff troops established, than the enemy directed his fire upon those commands with

e were no rations for the army which, inasmuch, as we had eaten our last the night previous, was rather interesting intelligence. Received orders to take a road running west of the railroad and parallel with it, also with the road which the main body of the army is to travel. We are to have but a small force of cavalry to guard our line of march, which is I think, a very insufficient force to protect the very large amount of artillery which will accompany our battalion. The battalions of Hardaway, Lightfoot, Lane, Huger, Owen, Leyder and our own comprise the force thus sent, being in all about one hundred guns. Many rumors are afloat of the presence of the Yankee cavalry along the route which it is supposed we will take, and it is evident that our position is not altogether a safe one. We camped at 9 P. M. within five miles of Clementown Mill's Bridge over the Appomattox river. 6th. Marched at 4 A. M.; crossed the Appomattox river, marched through Cumberland Courthouse, and ha

resented to the world. The two cities in the hands of enemies and tyrants — the little "queen city" of the great valley, devoted to certain destruction, and yet calm and undismayed amid the war of nations and of element. At our outset from the ears it was determined that we should make our way to some conspicuous point upon the river, where we could see the fleet of the enemy and witness his operations. This place we found on Washington street, in the establishment of our old friends Hardaway & White.--In the upper stories of this house we had a fair opportunity of observing, in comparative security, the array of gun and mortar boats, most of them being engaged the whole of that day and night in sending shell and shot at our batteries and into the town. The effects up to the coming on of night had, however, been trivial, and comparatively harmless. From our point of view, we had in sight all of the enemy's gunboats, these lying around the point and against the Louisiana shore,
