pledged by the comrades present, contribu-
tions to be paid in three equal annual Install
inents, no money to be paid nnti SIS 600 shall

In tho Spring of 1868 the Federals, in pos-
session OF the towns Of Washington, Newberne
and Plymouth, were a constant menace, and
were watched closely by such troops as could
be spared from the regular army forces Oc-
casionally they would rally forth, drive In our
pickets, collect supplies, destroy such property
as most strengthened us and return to their
quarters again. A simultaneous movement was
made by the Federals from Washington and
Plymouth, driving our three regiments before
them for whole day. just before dark our
forces formed a junction at RawIs Mills, and
resolved to make stand. The Federals were
approaching as on our flank, preceded by an ad-
yanced guard Of cavalry. Company K, 26th N
C., was detached and sent cut to dispute their
passage at the ford of creek The men
crouched to the earth in full view of the ford
but under shelter of the underbrush. A cav
alrynan rode down into the water, and care
lessly dropped his bride rein for his jaded horse
to drink. Suddenly. he heard the familiar
click, as one of our mon cooked his rife. For
getting or Ignoring his bride, he threw his
eye along the brow of the embankment and
was met by the fierce gaze of so pairs of eyes
and the Ranzzles of as many rifles. Undaunted

not hope to escape, he deliberately raised his
carbInes with his eye fixed steadily on the eye
of his intended victim, leveled itr-bnt Instantly
he was enyeioped in smoke, as at that moment
his comrades appeared on the other embank-
msnt and opened fire. and the brave rider and
his horse were lost.
