Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 16. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), The Wee Nee volunteers of Williamsburg District, South Carolina, in the First (Hagood's) regiment. (search)
ber, 1861, Captain P. K. Molony, Adjutant of Colonel Hagood's First regiment South Carolina volunteers, came to the post and the company was by him regularly mustered into the Confederate service. The company was drawn up in line, the muster-roll called by the mustering officer, and each man answered to his name. The following pledge was signed by the officers and men: We, the undersigned, hereby agree to be mustered into the Confederate service, unconditionally, until the 12th day of April, 1862. And the Wee Nees were soldiers of the Confederate States of America. The twelfth day of April was fixed as the limit, because the term of service of the regiment expired on that day. With the men mustered in by Captain Molony, and those who afterwards joined, the Wee Nees numbered four commissioned officers, nine non-commissioned officers, and eighty-two privates. They were, while in this regiment, designated as Company E. A relief society was started in the neighborhoo

egiment numbered 970 all told. It reached Newbern the 14th of March, 1862, just as the troops were withdrawing and it helped to cover their retreat. It fell back with them through mud and rain to Kinston, where it remained until it was ordered to Virginia. Soon after reaching Kinston it was assigned to the brigade commanded by General L. O'B. Branch. It at once renewed its work of reorganizing for the war which it had so gloriously begun in Wilmington, and completed the same the 12th of April, 1862. The following from a correspondent was published at the time in the Raleigh Journal: It is with no ordinary emotions of joy and pride that I inform you, and through your paper the public, that the Twenty-eighth North Carolina Regiment has reorganized for the war. Six companies reorganized before we left Wilmington. Last week the four remaining companies reorganized, and on Saturday we had an election for field officers, when Colonel Lane and Lieutenant-Colonel Lowe were elected

gine, General, when the latter had been seized and carried off from Marietta, Ga., by Federal raiders during the Civil War, died here to-day. Murphy was born in Ireland, and came to this country when twenty-six years old. He became one of the constructors of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, but when the war broke out entered the Confederate service, and, owing to his skill in mechanics, was assigned by Governor Brown, father of the present Governor, to assemble men to make guns. On April 12, 1862, the Federal secret service arranged to seize a train at Marietta, cut off the engine, run it from Big Shanty, Ga., to Chattanooga, Tenn., burning bridges and cutting wires between the two places, and thus cutting the Confederate line of communications. The plan was carried out almost successfully. The Federal officers boarded the train at Marietta, and while the passengers and crew were at breakfast at Big Shanty, seven miles north of Marietta, cut off the engine and started on a mad

Confederate Congress.first session.Senate. Saturday, April 12, 1862. The Senate met at 12 M. After prayer and reading of the Journal, the following business was transacted: Mr. Lewis, of Ga., offered the following: Resolved, That the Quartermaster General be requested to furnish to the Superintendent or President of any railroad company, who may apply therefore, a statement of what goods, warce merchandize and commodities have been shipped or transported over their roads on account of the Government of the Confederate States--and that he furnish any proofs which may be in his possession or under his control, tending to show what parties were authorized by law or contract to ship said goods and commodities for said Government over said roads. Mr. Lewis said the railroads are in the habit of transporting goods which they say are on account of the Confederate States, but in reality for themselves. On motion of Mr. Burnett, the resolution was referred to the
The Siege of Fort Pulaski. [Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Savannah April 12, 1862. The telegraph has informed you of the surrender of Fort Pulaski, and the consequent state of excitement you can well imagine. The evening of Friday passed in suspense, but no fear was felt that the gallantry of the garrison had caused the silence of the enemy's guns, which had not been heard since 2 P. M. yesterday. The Republican went to press with a brilliant comparison of a viper biting a file, as applied to the Yankees, on the outside; but the inner sheet had shown the fair fruit hollow and rotten. I cannot devote much time to the bombardment, as little is known about it here — more hearsay rumors, received from one who left the fort immediately previous to the surrender, without a word from Col. Olmstead, commanding the post, and no information of the conditions of the capitulation, which the Generals in command here could surely have acquired by means of a flag of truce.
