G., of Rodes's brigade; Captain Green Peyton, of my staff, and Captain M. L. Randolph, signal corps. The last named officer was remarkable among all these brave and accomplished officers for his daring coolness and efficiency. Colonel O'Neal, commanding Rodes's brigade, deserves special notice for his gallantry. It is proper to mention that Colonel W. R. Cox, of the Second North Carolina, was wounded repeatedly before he left the field. All of the other officers did their duty nobly, but those I have mentioned came under my own notice, or were so spoken of by competent persons, as to make it my duty to mention them in this manner. My staff officers, Captain Green Peyton, and Captain M. L. Randolph, have been mentioned for their meritorious conduct.

fied his troops, and they were irresistible. They pushed on, under his gallant leadership, and completely routed the panic-stricken stricken soldiers of Fighting Joe Hooker. After Generals Jackson and A. P. Hill were wounded, General Rodes was in supreme command, but he modestly and patriotically yielded to General J. E. B. Stuart, who had been sent for by General Pendleton of the artillery. After this battle he was promoted full Major-General, and put in charge of Battle's, Ramseur's (now Cox's), Doles' (now Cook's), and Daniel's (now Lewis') brigades. General Rodes was a precise and somewhat stern military man, of resolute expression and soldierly bearing, and enjoyed the implicit confidence of his superior officers, as well as his troops. A fragment of shell struck him behind the ear, and in a few hours this brave, skillful and trusted officer yielded up his heroic life as a holocaust to his country's cause. He married the popular and accomplished Miss V. H. Woodruff, of Tusc

uty, marched his men over them and over the works, and formed in face of a murderous fire. General Cox's Memorial Address. As soon as he had established his line, Ramseur rushed forward without firing a gun and captured the enemy's works. General Cox says: This was one of the few times during the war when the opposing troops actually crossed bayonets, and where an inferior force, in broad da his regiments: The Fourth North Carolina, Colonel Grimes, and seven companies of the Second, Colonel Cox, drove the enemy before them until they had taken the last line of his works, which they heldthis flanking force, and always prompt and brave, he charged and stayed its progress. Grimes and Cox had now to be withdrawn until reinforcements came. But for Colonel Bennett's coolness and Colonel Parker's charge, Grimes and Cox, after their handsome efforts, would doubtlessly have been captured or severely cut up. The First and Third North Carolina regiments were in Colston's brigade an

s (under Lewis and later Godwin) brigades, and the remnants of the First and Third regiments subsequently assigned to General Cox's brigade. Then operating on the flanks was Gordon's gallant brigade of cavalry, the First, Second and Fifth, command by Gen. Lew Wallace, since famous as the author of Ben Hur. General Rodes' division, including the brigades of Grimes and Cox, was posted on the right of Ramseur, who was in front of Wallace. McCausland, followed by Gordon's division, crossed the been commanding. General Breckinridge's command was sent to southwestern Virginia. On withdrawing from Fisher's Hill, Cox's brigade handsomely repulsed the portion of the Federal army that was pressing the rear. At Cedar creek, General Kersha About 3 o'clock, he set a new battle in order against Early. Ramseur's men were posted behind a rock fence. Grimes and Cox repelled all attacks on them, but the left of Early's line gave way in disorder. General Grimes says that up to that time

d at Town creek, and for some time gallantly defied all efforts to push them aside. By the 7th of March, Hoke was near Kinston and part of the Southern army was at Smithfield. On that date Gen. D. H. Hill was ordered to take his own division and Pettus' brigade of Stevenson's division and move to Hoke's position for battle. Clayton's division of Lee's corps and the Junior reserves under Baker soon after reported to General Hill. On the 8th, Generals Hoke and Hill engaged the corps of General Cox, stated by him to be 13,056. The battle was fought near Kinston, and its opening was fortunate for the Confederates. Upham's brigade was broken and this initial success was about to be followed up vigorously, when an order from the commanding general diverted a part of the force engaged. The Federals retained their works, and the Confederates retired to effect the purposed junction. The Federal loss was 1,257. Hardee at Averasboro, on the 15th of March, was called upon to make a st

ng on the floor of the Adjutant's office trying to get a little sleep. A few minutes after General Hill's arrival I walked out to the front gate of the Turnbull House, and there saw wagons and teamsters dashing rather wildly down the River Road (Cox's) in the direction of Petersburg. Walking out on the road, I met a wounded officer on crutches coming from the direction of the huts of Harris's brigade, which lay across the branch in front of the headquarters, who informed me he had been driveur improvised skirmishers, and really there seemed to be no enemy in our front in the direction in which we were riding. So we pressed on ahead of them. After going a short distance it became light enough to see some artillery on the River Road (Cox's) about one hundred and fifty yards distant on the hill to our right. He asked me whose artillery it was. I informed him that it was Poague's battalion which came over the night before from Dutch Gap. He requested me to go at once and put it in
