Lieut.. Colonel Maurice Il. Smith.

Messrs Editors Upon reading in your issue of this
morning, paragraph containing the name which heads
this communication, my mind instantly reverted to the
first day of july 1S63the commencement of the three
days struggle at Gettysburg and remembered stinc-
y the TALL spare form and nervous countenance of the
Lieutenant Colonel of the 55th N. c. he appeared
the morning of that memorable day. Whether the
mains to which You refer reaching this State for inter-
ment, his, those of Major 7. II. Smith, I know
not but that there such officer killed at Gettys-
burg well known to of the surviving members of
Heaths Division. He wounded by a grapo-shot
through the chest while commanding his regiment in
charge the Federal right about midday the LIST of
July, from the effects of which he expired few hours
afterwards.
Colonel Smith a resident of Granville County and
during the first OF the served suba tern
the 10Th N c. He enjoyed the reputation of being
the finest tacticans and discpinarans in the regiment
and he certainly exceed by qualities of the
heart. He modest, dignied and unassumng in man
ner and his feelings and sympathes tender as
wOmans But lie baUe. His gaantry and efficiency
officer, had secured his promotion to the Lieut. Col
to his death though he was but the seoen Captain
rank at the time. IT,.
1t gratifying to the few remaining members of Colonel
Smiths regiment who participated in the terrible engage
men and who him fall to know that his remains are
to repose the soil Of his native State North Carolina
had no more devoted who engaged in her de-
fence with nober zeal The mention of such heroes as
lie and the thousands of others who resting in
DEATH should bring blush of shame to the faces those
who loudly reye the sacred for which they
died. s..- XXX ~ NORMAN.
