Harris's Brigade.

y. ". !. iItlIh'i'', .''iii
We have recently had the pleasure
Of meeting in New Orleans TWO of oar
old army companions, Gea. Matt lIar-
ris and Capt. Holland I. Cuii,c, cf
Mississippi. The meeting Of these
Two gallant gentlemen calls to mind
an incident which occurred at the
battle Of Spotsyivauia. Harris's Mis-
Sissippi brigade had Suffered terribly !;
in fact il had been cut all TO pieces :;
butitnever wavered. So heavy was the
fire which they sustain ed, that Just in
rear of one of its regiments an oak
tree eighteen inches in diameter had
been actually cut down by minnie balls.
1t was in the very crisis Of the battle ::
Gen. Matt. Harris gathered the colors
of a regiment. the color sergeant of
which had been shot down, and
sprang upon the breasiworks Capt.
Coffee, Adjutant Peel, and several
other officers and men were around
him one of the officers said, Gen
eral drop those colorS, or YOU will be
shot" "Never!" said Harris, and
just then a minnie ball (thev were
flying thick as haiD struck the gallant
Peel 10 the head, dashing his brains
and blood over Capt Coffee, who,
almost at the same minute. was struck
by a ball which knocked him down.
in that little party several officers
and soldiers fell. The brigade was
literally cut to pieces one Of the reg
iments had every field officer killed,
but it held its ground Our noble
and gallant friend, Gen. Harris, SEEM
ingly escaped death by miracle.
No more gallant brigade fought for
the Copfederaey than this one Feath-
erstone led it through a number of
battles, and when he turned it over to
Posey, remarked, General the old
brigade has another good killing in it
vet" He was the same old hero who,
at Balls Bluff, led his regiment into
the fight, giving the order TO charge
and drive them into the Potomac or
into hell" General Posey died from
wounds received at Bristow station.
General Harris was then made briga-
der and commanded the brigade to
the close of the war. We are inform
ed that there is general wish among
