he inquired If it had been empty at the
time of attack / told him that It could
make no difference to him, but to keep
moving.
The Yankees had another line of tenn
porary works, and they made another
stand. Tho Johnnies made no halt at all,
and the enemy fed before them as they
had done a short time before. There was
ono who would not surrender. His gun
was empty, and he stood just in front of
empty, though Kirk had some advantage
in loading. Both Of them were doing their
best to load quickly-it was a race of life
and death. When Kirk. who was the first
to load, fred on the Yankee, they were
standing not more than five feet apart.
The ramrod and ball went clear through
his adversary's body, making hole as

marked: 'Key is killed." raised myself
up on my right foot and caught my
breath. My reply was: mot yet, cap
tain" and continued firing. After a great
struggle and night coming on, they drove
us from our position, but not from the
woods. Some fifty or seventy-five of us
gave them the Indian tactics until 1t was
too dark to see to fire. If mistake not,
II was Captain McWhorter or Captain
Reub Nesbit who ordered us to rally on the
left We did so and were told we were
occupying a most HAZARDOUS position and
had best get back to the command, for
when the moon rose and they should de-
eide to attack us further we would be
caught between the lines. We did so and
found the officers in consultation. There
seems to have been a route through the
swamp that would have thrown them in
our rear. So Colonel Wright decided to
withdraw to that position. We were on our
way to this position when we met Gen
eral Blanchard and the Louisiana boys
coming as re-enforcements. Just then a
cavalryman came up. and informed the Of
ficers that the enemy was in full retreat
to their boats, whereupon we returned to
our former position. The Louisiana boys
could not be made to stop. They kept
on down to Camden and had few shots at
the Yanks on their boats.
A countryman from Camden Courthouse.
who with MS wagon was pTeSSSu lIlAO
service to assist in removing the dead and
wounded gave us afterwards an account
of the retreat of the boys in blue. His
account would make good material for a
separate story. He says on landing they
informed him they were going over to bag
a few Johnnies and would return with
them to supper on his way to the battle
field he asked what was to pay in front.
The reply came; Ills to pay!' Furth-
er on he inquired again and was informed
that the woods was full of rebels and
they had run into them to their sorrow.
A federal official at Point Lookout stat
ed to the writer that they lost fully half
of their command in killed and wounded
and that the others were demoralized and
wouldn't fight When informed of our
strength he swore / lied. We remained
here until the evacuation of Norfolk and
Portsmouth and were then attached to
the Army of Northern Virginia. Old
Rance was at times bullheaded and could
not see things as others did. No better
commander fought in Virginia. He had
the elements that constituted one. He
was courageous and confident of mis- abil-
ity, and no officer ever instilled the same
qualities in his men more so. His COM
mand did not hesitate to go with him when
he gave the word, for they knew he
would be there with them to direct.

At the wilderness five Yankees were,
taken prisoners with empty guns on the
morning of May 6, 1864. as Wofford's

Hill had been fighting the day before.
There was heavy skirmishing going on.
The battalion was in front by the right
flank, rear resting on the plank road;
remainder Of brigade went by the left
flank, rear brigade resting on battalion.
Colonel N. L. Hutchins gave order,
Front! Loadr Forward and as the
brigade advanced Hills men came out.
We advanced a short distance, occasion

was going by the left flank and saw the
brigade come marching by the right flank
and that threw the battalion in the rear

and came to an old railroad. The rails
had never been laid. We went down this
road for some distance, halted and 'front.'

brigade struck the enemy on the flank and

In command of battalion. 1 said to him:

a large white house about half way be-

became very heavy, our boys pouring vol

storm of bullets two women cane eat ef
the house and started to the Yankee
lines as fast as they could go. 1t seemed
