We were not many-we who stood
Before the iron sleet that day,
Yet many gallant spirit would
Give half his years, if he but could
Have been withus at Monterey.
Now here, now there, the shot is hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray,
Yet not single soldier quailed,
When wounded comrades round them walled
Their dying shouts at Monterey.
And on, still on our column kept,
Though walls of flame its whitening way;
Where fell the dead, the living stept' :.
Still charging on the guns which swept
The slippery streets of Monterey
The foe himself recoiled aghast
When, striking where he strongest Jay,
We swooped bis hauking batteries past,
And Drawing full their murderous blast,
Stormed home the towers of Monterey.
Our banners on the turrets wave,
And there tho evening bugles play,
Where orange boughs above their grave,
Keep green the memory of the brave
Who fought and fell at Monterey.
We are not many-we who press'd
Beside the brave who fell that day;
But who of us has not confessed
He'd rather share their warrior rest,
Than not have been at Monterey!

together with the of his arrest and detention

R. P. KERNER.
March 10, 1868.
In obedience to the above writ herewith pro-.
duce the body Of Chordy Whitehart before his
Honor.
The cause of his arrest and detention is follows:
One James H. Conrad, and two others, to me un-
known, protesting to be detailed and authorized by
Confederate officer to arrest conscripts and de-
serters, ordered me as Captain of Militia. in For
syth County, to arrest said Whitehart citizen and
resident of Guford county, who they alleged had
been harttoring one VIM. Beeson, conscript.or de-
serter objected to going out of the County;
they said had authority to 60 out of the County,
and that they had authority to look after the Militia
Officers and see that they did their duty 4nd made
threats that if did not obey their orders that they
would report me, and that they gave me full power
to tie or shoot if resisted. And made the arrest
under these orders. R. P. kERNER, Capt
NoRrll-C CAROLINA:
Upon the facts set out IN the return of R. P. Ker-
ner, AN of opinion that the arrest and detention
of Chordy Whitehart was unlawful and without
authority of law. am not apprised that the Leg
sl:ture have at their recent session. passed an ACT
making it an ndictable ofense to harbor recusant
conscrpt or deserter: but if any act of the kind
was passed. it could only authorize the arrest of the
party by process Of the civil authorities that Is, by
warrant issued by Judge or Justice of the Peace
on belief Of probable stated upon oath and d.
rected to the sheriff, constable, other lawful off,
GERS. Confederate officer or militia officer has
no authority to execute the laws of the State of
North. Carolina
1t is therefore considered by me, that the said
thordy W hitehart be discharged with liberty to 20
wherever he win 1t is further considered that the
cost of said Whitehart allowed by law, in this pro-
ceeding be paid by said Kerner, to be taxed by the
clerk OF the Superior Court of Guilford County,
agreeable'to act of Assembly in that case made and
provided. R. NJ PEARSON, C. j. S. C..
