I was present at the conference between Stuart, Hill and Rodes, when Rodes yielded up the command to Stuart.

dence of the Richmond Dispatch.]Richmond, Va., January 1, 1873. Messrs. Editors,--I hope you will allow me through the columns of your popular paper to give to the public some of the circumstances connected with the death-wound of General Jackson, particularly as a recent publication has declared that a night attack was not contemplated at that time. When General Jackson moved so unexpectedly and so successfully upon the enemy's flank at Chancellorsville, his front line was composed of Rodes' division, and his second of A. P. Hill's, with the exception of McGowan's (South Carolina) brigade and mine (which was composed wholly of North Carolinians). Our two brigades moved by the flank along the plank-road immediately in rear of our artillery — mine being in front. When, about dark, we reached the breast works from which the enemy had been driven, we were halted, and remained standing in the road for some time. Gen. A. P. Hill then ordered me to form across the road--two regiment

were fighting. I took position on the right of Kershaw's brigade, where a much needed rest of two or three hours was enjoyed, when the enemy was discovered advancing upon us. This attack, which was probably only a reconnoisance, was easily repulsed with only a loss of two or three to us, but of from forty to fifty to them. In a short time, however, they advanced in two lines, directing their attack to my right, where they supposed there was no force to oppose them. Humphries's brigade and Rodes's division were thrown in just in time to meet them on the extension of my line, my right regiment (the P. S. S., under Colonel Walker), only participated in this fight in which the enemy were repulsed. My skirmishers were sent in pursuit of the broken and retreating masses and succeeded in capturing about one hundred and twenty-five (125) prisoners; night came on and closed this day's operations. On the next morning (the 9th) we were moved to the left across the Brock road, and put in pos
