1 nassas Junction, when so many of our brave men received their baptism of fire. This following letter was writ ten at the close of the fight.
 Mrs Pride,
 | Dear Friend-We returned to Win chester. after having offered Patter- 1 son battle at Martinsburg four days and at Winchester awaited him con stantly expecting an attack till order ed from there on the eighth to rein force Beauregard at Manassa, who was about to be overpowered by a very Isuperior enemy in size. By hard forc- | ed marches of three days we reached Manassas Junction Saturday morning. | The only rest we had in three da Js was that Saturday night Early next morning our regiment and the .2nd Mis- sissippi regiment were ordered to meet Scott's forces five miles from tho Junction. With joy each man welcom- ! ed the long looked for opportunity of meeting the land pirate invading our Southern soil. Although we knew some of us must die. we marched for ward with an eagerness that often had te be checked by our officers. After and commenced the fire on them whiiC on their own select ground. But more | than we hoped to meet were there, not less than 10000 of the enemy were drawn up before us and soon com menced firing, but with astonishing c6lmness our men continued to load and fire. until we were nearly cut to pieces and when nearly surrounded by q treacherous enemy bearing our own flag the men obeyed the order to re- treat-many firing as they did so, Be - sides our Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel and Major being severely wounded, were about 60 killed and 210 wounded. Of my company ten killed and twenty one wounded. you have heard before this no doubt, that among the killed was Brother Billie.
 Tlthough we were expecting one or more of the three to meet with that fate, 1t Erieves me most deeply to loose my brother, I am proud that he died fighting bravely with his face to tho CT emy. Although the ball entered his breast and went through his- body, Brother John and I bore him far off the field of battle before he died and
