e: Adjutant and Inspector General's office, Charleston, S. C., April 26, 1861. Sir,—You are hereby ordered to conduct the company under your command to Kingston, and there be honorably discharged from the service of the State of South Carolina, as volunteers in the First regiment, under the command of Colonel M. Gregg. The Quartermaster General is herewith directed to furnish you the necessary transportation for the execution of this order. By order of the Commander-in-Chief. S. R. Gist, Adjutant-General of South Carolina. In obedience to this order, the company returned to Kingston on the afternoon of the 26th of April, 1861. They were warmly received by their fellow-citizens, and were commended for all that they had done. The appreciative gratitude of the people found expression in a public dinner given them a few weeks after their return. The tables were spread under the trees at the old Patterson House, opposite the Methodist Church. Congratulations were exte

The absence of the field officers made the many favorable expressions of opinion which reached their ears still more agreeable. About this time the Twenty-fourth and Sixteenth South Carolina Volunteers, Forty-sixth Georgia, and the Eighth Georgia Battalion and Fergerson's Light Battery were organized into a brigade and took their departure, under the command of Brigadier-General S. R. Gist, to join the army of the Mississippi. Colonel Simonton, by the absence of Colonel C. H. Stevens, became for awhile the ranking officer on James Island, and the command of the island devolved on him. The camp of the regiment was moved to Secessionville, and regimental headquarters established in Lawtore's house. Captain G. H. Moffet, the adjutant, usually went with and acted as assistant adjutant general for Colonel Simonton when he was exercising a brigadier's command. Lieutenant

Gist just before reaching the Rivers House. He directed me to file to the right in the direction of Grimball's, on the Stono river, and after leaving the rneral Mercer, of Savannah, Georgia, a West Pointer, and once in the United States army, who had for years been in civil life, was in command on the island.

It was now that Gen. Johnston impressively and gallantly charged to the front with the colors of the Fourth Alabama regiment by his side, all the field officers of the regiment having been previously disabled. Shortly afterwards I placed S. R. Gist, Adjutant and Inspector-General of South Carolina, a volunteer Aide-de-camp of General Bee, in command of this regiment, and who led it again to the front as became its previous behavior, and remained with it for the rest of the day. As soon as we had thus rallied and disposed out forces, I urged Gen. Johnston to leave the immediate conduct of the field to me, while he, repairing to Portico — the Lewis House — should urge reinforcements forward. At first he was unwilling, but reminde
