How THEY FIRE IN BATrLE.-An army


correspondent says:
"You wonder whether the regiments
fire regular in vOlley or whether each
man loads and fires as fast as he can
That depends on circumstances, but usu-
ally, except when the enemy is near at
hand. the regiments fire only at the com
mand of their officers. You hear drop,
drop, drop. as a few Of the skirmishers
fire, followed by rattle aud roll which
sounds like the falling Of a building just
as some Of you have heard the brick walls
tumble at great frs. Sometimes, when
a body of the enemy's cavalry ale sweep
ing down upon a regiment TO cut 1t tc
pieces, the men form into a square, with
the officers and musicians in the centre
The front rank stands with bayone
charged, while the second rank fires as
it can. Sometimes, they form IN ioui
ranks deep-Ihe two front ones kneeline
with bayonets charged, so that it the
enemy should come upon them, ,ihey would
run against a picket fence os bayonsts
When they form in this way .the other tive
ranks load aud FIRE as fast as they can. :
Then the roar is terri6c,and many a horse
and bis rider goes down before the terrible
storm of bullets. 'ossn aR ''

portion of them could be spared for the defence OF
the rear of Norfolk and especially, his General
Wises) district supplied Norfolk andhis army with
nearly or quite all ofhis corn pork and forage that
reinforceHents at Roanoke Island as absolutely
necessary to the defence at Norfolk as forces in its
'front.' and that particular or special posts shoudnot
be allowed to monopolize nearly all the men, pow
der and supplies" In reply to all his urgent ap-
peals for the means Obedience, General Wise, the
22d January, received the following military order
No. II: So
"Brigadier General Henry A. Wise, Provisional
Army. Will Immediately proceed to Roanoke Island,
North Carolina, and assume command of the Con-
federate States troops at that place
By command of the Sec'y of War,
(SigneD JOHN WRITER'S,
Asst. Adj. General"
1t is apparent to the committee, from the cores
pondence on tile of Gen. Wise with the Secretary
of War, Gen. Huger his superior officer, the Gov
erner of North Carolina and other persons that he
was fully alive to the Importance of Roanoke Island,
and has devoted his whole time and energies and
means to the defences of that position; and that he
is no way responsible for the unfortunate disaster
which befel our forces upon that Island on the 7th
and 9Th of February. But the committee cannot
say the same in reference to the efforts of the
Secretary of War and the Commanding Officer at
Norfolk, Gen. Huger. 1t is appars't, that the
Island of Roanoke was important for the defence
of Norfolk and that Gen. Huger had under his
command at that point upwards Of $4,000 men,,
large supply of armament and ammunition. and
could have thrown in few hours large reinforce
mcnt upon Roanoke Island, and that himself and
the Secretary of War had timely notice of the entire
iaadequacy of the delences, the want of men and
munitions of war, and the threatening attitude of
the enemy. But Gen. Huger and the Secretary
OF War paid no practical attention to those urgent
appeals Of Gen. Wise, sent forward none of his i'm
portant acquisitions, and permitted Gen. Wise and
his nconsiderable force to remain to meet at least
fifteen thousand men well armed and equipped
If the Secretary OF War and the Commanding Gen
eral at Norfolk had not the means to reinforce Gen.
Wise, why was he not ordered to abandon his posi-
ton, and save his command; but upon the contrary,
he was required to remain, and sacrifice his CON-
mand with no means in his insulated position, to
make his escape in case of defeat The Committee,
from the testimony are therefore constrained to
report, that whatever of blame and responsibility
is justly attributable to any for the defeat of our
troops at Roanoke Island, on the Sth of February,
1852, should attach to Major General B. Huger and
the late Secretary of War. P. Benjamin.
All Of which is respectfully submitted
B. S. GATHER, Chairman
