| THE hAmfrON LhoiuN.
Members of this body who arrived here o.
Monday wounded, from the battle field, repor
some thrilling incidents Of the conflict, amonl
which are the following:
Col! Hampton, upon lhaving his horse sDo
from under him, seized rife, and said, "Watcl
me, boys; do as do" He then shot down suc
cessively several Federal officers who wer'
leading their forces against him. Gen. Beau
regard then came up and said, "Take that bat
terry" Just at that moment the flag Of the le
gion was shot down. Beauregard said, "Hand
It to me; let me bear the Palmetto flag" He
did bear it in the fury of the fight. Colonel
Johnston, of the legion, was slain in the
charge.
The Hampton Legion promised to defend the
flag presented 10 them by the ladies of the Pal
metto State while one of them remained to
step the field of conflict. That this promise
will be sacredly redeemed, no one will doubt,
when he comes to learn that of the eight hund.
red who went into the field on Sunday, one
hundred and Ten sealed their fidelity Dih their
blood, that being the number of their killed and
wounded, according to the unofficial accounts.

RICHMOND, July 24.-An intelligent and reli-
able gentleman from South Carolina, who had a
prominent position on the battle field, says that
South Carolina had seven regiments, including
Hampton's Legion, in the battle.
These regiments were under cannonade
from sunrise to sunset, but being entrenched,
suffered but little.
Just before sundown, when the right wing
OF the enemy gave way, they were ordered to
charge battery on their front, which they
executed in gallant style, under the COM
mand OF General Bonham, the enemy prompt
ly retiring. These regiments suffered only
slightly.
