fell back, rounded the left wing of Lee's army, crossed the Pamunkey River at the White House, and on the 25th March joined Gen. Grant in the lines before Petersburg. He had not completed the circuit designed for him; but he had traversed thirteen counties, and done enormous damage. The damage to the canal was almost irreparable; every lock had been destroyed as far as Dugaldsville, twenty miles from Lynchburg; and as for the railroads radiating from Charlottesville to Waynesboro, Amherst Court-house and Louisa Court-house and extending from the South Anna to Chesterfield Station and the Chickahominy river, every bridge, nearly every culvert, and scores of miles of the rail itself had been completely destroyed. Sheridan's cavalry, diverted back from its intended tour to North Carolina, proved a timely and important accession to Grant's strength in his final encounter. There were indications that that encounter was near at hand. There had been days of painful expectation along

l out-houses, and a feature of the place was the spring, which was situated at the foot of the hill upon which the house stood. Water was supplied from this spring by means of a ram-pump with pipes. Around the spring was a growth of very fine walnut and chestnut-trees, which made it a very cool retreat during the warm days of summer. A large orchard of apples, plums, and peaches was immediately in the rear of the residence. Between the farm and the road which led from Lynchburg to Amherst Court-House, a distance of about two miles, was a thick growth of woods, consisting principally of chestnut-trees. The whole face of the country consisted of hills and dales, and was rather rugged; the soil rather poor, probably having been exhausted by long cultivation. The nearest house was fully a mile distant, that section of country being but sparsely settled. Their painful journey thitherward ended, just imagine what it must have been to these suffering men to arrive at such a haven

own the road, and parallel to it. Orders came to Early's old brigade (the Fourth Virginia), composed of the Forty-ninth, Fifty-second, Fifty-eighth, Thirty-first, and Thirteenth Regiments, to march down the road and make a reconnoissance preliminary to second Cold Harbor battle. Our regiment, the Forty-ninth Virginia, having lost nine color-bearers in the battle from Wilderness to Richmond, I went down the line to select another, I came to a tall, lanky beardless boy, from the mountains of Amherst, with a red cap on, so soon to die, but to die game. I said, Orendorf, will you carry the colors? He replied, Yes, Colonel, I will carry them. They killed my brother the other day; now damn them let them kill me too. He took the flag, so soon to be his winding sheet, and the brigade was marched out and down the road, the Forty-ninth at its head, for some distance, and halted, General Ramseur bossing the job. I then heard a single piece of artillery firing at intervals in a strip of

ne what position Virginia shall assume in the present cricis, and to suggest such amendments to our State Constitution as may be necessary in the event we are compelled to withdraw from the National Government, and seek for safety and security in a new Confederacy, or alone. And further, that in the opinion of this meeting, no Federal or Northern army should be permitted to pass over the soil of Virginia for the purpose of making war upon and subjugating a sister Southern State. At Amherst C. H., on the 17th, it was Resolved, That no free people should place themselves in the power and at the mercy of those who are unfriendly to them — the loss of liberty would be the penalty of such folly. It is, therefore, a present and pressing necessity that all questions disturbing the harmony of the States, and especially those vital questions of alleged antagonism between the slave and free States, should now be settled and settled for all time to come.
