urse of preparation — a bead roll of fame worthy to be printed in letters of gold. Another number will complete this interesting sketch of a gallant brigade.] Corps of sharp-shooters. Our corps of sharp-shooters was organized in the fall of 1863, at Liberty Mills. It was composed of picked marksmen and brave men. Its officers, too, were all cool and brave. This fine body of men were not only thoroughly instructed in skirmish drill, but were frequently practiced in calculating and steppiservice as a private in the Chesapeake guards, a volunteer infantry company from Mathews county, Va., and was wounded at Yorktown. After the evacuation of that place he served as a private in Company E, Fifth Virginia Cavalry, until the winter of 1863, when, at my request, and on account of his youth, General Lee ordered him to report to me for duty.

At the time of his promotion he was a Second Lieutenant in the First Engineer Regiment of the Army of

Johnston, on my recommendation, was appointed Assistant Adjutant-General of our brigade, but remained with us only a short time on account of ill health. He tendered his resignation July 6th, 1863, and died soon after of consumption. Captain Johnston was a highly cultivated, intelligent, kind-hearted, Christian gentleman, a thorough rebel, and a bold and most efficient officer. He entered the Confederate service as a private in Compat of Company G, Twenty-eighth North Carolina Regiment, and was Captain of that company when I persuaded him to accept a position on my staff. No one can read the following letter and not admire the noble character of its author: Raleigh, July 6th, 1863. General James H. Lane, Commanding Brigade, Pender's Division, &c.: My Dear General,--With this I send you a formal resignation of my position on your staff.
